By TED VOSBURGH (A. P. Sports Writer) NEW YORK, March 27.—For one jreason and another it begins to look | as though the United States will be represented in Davis Cup play this year by what might be called 1:1 “second string” team. | i | | ‘he Davis cup committee headed c s | by Joseph W. Wear of Philadelphia is building its campaign pians about George Lott, John van Ryn, and Wilmer Allison, who are numbers 14, 5 and 7, respectively, in the na- tional ranking list. | To the mind of the layman it ,would seem that the highest rank- (ing players in the country should be |given the Davis cup assignment. | A team on these lines would March 27— bring into action Bill Tilden, Frank ANOTHER BOUT Puts Man Down Three Times in Fifty-four Seconds of Fighting | KANSAS CITY w2 |Primo Carnera knocked out George Hunter, Johnny Doeg and George | list in Trafton after 54 seconds of the Lott, who top the rating first round of a scheduled 10 round that order. | bout last night Trafton was' Tilden is the national champion,’ knocked down three times before Hunter the runner up and Doeg and he stayed down.

Dempsey figured as one of the main actors in five separate battles ro 1921 to 1927, each of which drew a million or over. them, with Tunney, 000,000. Carpentier, Firpo Sharkey were the others who fig- ured in the big dough. The decline has been rapid since Dempsey last fought. The Tun- ney-Heeney title fight in 1928, the last battle that has been waged for the championship, drew around $500,000. And was a flop. Last winter Sharkey and Strib- ling drew a little over $400,000 at Miami Beach. A year later, Shar- key and Scott drew less than $200,- 000. Unless it has some assurance that there will be a good old-fashioned socking party, the public apparently will not turn out in any substantial numbers to see the big fellows flop around. Dempsey seldom failed to provide an exciting show and with that in mind, the boys and girls flocked to see the old mauler in action. It may be necessary to hold a tournament to settle the question of golf supremacy among the ball- players. Ruth, Shawkey, and Byrd of the Yankees have set a hot pace on the Florida courses. Sam Rice, say the dispatches, bagged a 69 at Hot Springs, Ark. The Washington outfielder has always been among the best golfers of the diamond. And Long Tom Sheehan of the Kansas City Blues shot as low as 71 in California, which is a short count on any course. .

He expects to put it through ftrials soon. ! His car is typical of most of the new crop. It is 31% inches wide at the cockpit, where the one-man ,cars spread 18 to 19 inches. It is a little lower and a little wider in |the radiator and he believes it will |travel 108 miles an hour. Louie Meyers, champion of 1928 and 1929, has un- |der construction here a car with 16 cylinders, the greatest number ever planned for the 500-mile race.
