BY THOMAS T. TOPPING, Assoclated Press Staff Writer. ARIS, June 1.—In two great tennis battles attheRoland Garros Stadium this after- | noon Bill Tilden and Frank | Hunter stormed the remparts of French supremacy and failed. Big Bill was beaten by his old | foe, Rene Lacoste, 6—1, 6—0, 5—7, 6—3, in the semi-finals of the French championship in a match which would have been a rout, but for a great stand by the veteran American in the third set. Shortly before Jean Borotra, the bounding Basque, came from behind to trim _Hurter in the quarter-finals, 6—8, 10—8, 4—6, 8—6, 6—1. With the downfall of America’s first and second ranking stars, the last chance of capturing the only important men’s smgles title, which has never been won by a player from the United States, vanished for this year at least The renowned three musketeers of France are in sole possession uf the fleld, with Lacoste already in the final and Henri Cochet scheduled to dispute the remaining semi-final with Buiutra tomorrow. Helen Wills Carries Or. Only the capable figure of Miss Helen wills, who reached the final in defense of her women's singles crown by defeat- ing England’s Miss Eileen Bennett, 6—2, 7—5, Temained to Tepresent the United States. Everywhere else Francc has a wmonopaly, having placed 1iis leading woman_player, Mme. Renee Mathieu, in the final against Miss Wills by a vic- | tory over Fraulein Cecilie Aussem of Germany, 8—6, 2—6, 6—2. Against Lacoste and Borotra, Tilder | and Hunter underwent their first real test of 1929, and by comparison were found wanting, although their tennis probably would have been good enough | to conquer any one except Lie super-| stars of France. | Lacoste Is Accurate. The imperturbable Rene played to- | day with the same mechanical steadi- | ness which earned him recognilion as the world's greatest player in 1927 Except for a few moments in the third | set, when Big Bill provided thc high | spot of the match by winning fr straight games and the set after trail- | ing at three games to five, Lacoste was | in_the driver’s seat throughout. Com- | mitting_a_ minimum of errors, Rene forced Tilden to gain nearly all of ris points by placemcnts. Hunter’s defeat at the hands of the | oldest member of the French trium- | virate came as something of a surprise, as he was leading Jean by two sets to | one when play was called on account | of darkness the previous day. When the | match was resumed Hunter spent him- ! self in an unsuccessful effoit to win the long - deuced set, which would have given him the match, and could offer | Tittle resistence in the closing set The winner was to have taken on | Cochet later in the day in the semi- | fuials 5o that the final might be play- | ed tomorrow, but Borotra balked at the doubie zssignment end both matches were postponed a day. Cochet and La- | coste are favored about equally to win the title now held by the former, and Borotra is conceded an outside chance The result_will probably go far toward deciding which of the French will earn the world No. 1 rank for this season.

Renee Mathieu of France de- feated Fraulein Cecilie Assem of Ger- many, 8—6, 2—6, 6—2, in the semi- finals, carning the right to meet Miss Wills in the women's singles final. Although Miss Wills is a prohibitive favorite to win the women's coronet for the second straight year, French fans are hopeful that Mme. Mathieu will be able to perform the rare feat of win- ning a set from the American. Perhaps partly becaute of a howl from the gallery at what the fans thought was an unfair decision in her favor, Miss Wills faitered momentarily in the second set of her match with Miss Bennett.

By the Associated Press. ONDON, June 1.—The Ameri- can Ryder Cup team’s final fling of its 1929 invasion of England today found native born British golfers more than holding their own. Walter Hagen, captain of the American team and four times winner of the British open title, avenged two previous defeats by Archie Compston when he downed the famous British pro 1 up in a 36-hole match at Blackwell Park, Birmingham. Hagen was forced to come from be- hind twice to win at the home hole, 24 hours after he had lost, 8 and 7, to Compston at Moor Park. Last year, before Hagen won his third British open title, Compston had trounced him 18 and 17 in a 72-hole match. Large Gallery Thrilled. ‘The match gave a large gallery all the thrills. they have come to expect from Hagen, although none of his friends expected him to make a good showing. He had only a few hours of sleep last night, caught an early train north and actually arrived at the first tee ahead of the scheduled starting time, a feat Britons believed the Ameri- can couldn't accomplish.

Polo is played upon ponies and some years ago the roller skates brand flourished in New England, but it remained for the frequenters of aristocratic Bois de Boulogne in Paris to introduce polo on mules. Ermenonville is the stage set for the new polo. It is played with four men and four mules a side, similar to polo on ponies. The game while slower than that on ponies gains in length play what it loses in speed. The chuckers in- stead of being a few minutes each last a half hour.

MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. ETROIT, Mich., June 1— The United States Davis Cup tennis team today ended its brilliant Ameri- can zone campaign by adding two more victories to its long string and completing its route of Cuba, the last challenger on this side of the Atlantic, five matches to none. Willmer Allison, of Fort Forth, Tex., and George Lott of Chicago, third rank- ing net, star of this country, painted | the finishing touches of the campaign | with. straight set victories over the out- classed Cubans. Allison defeated Gus- tavo Vollmer 6—3, 6—2, 7—5, while | Lott, competing on the team for the | first time this year, bested Herman Up- mann, 6—4, 6—3, 6 Americans Bear Down. Today's singles matches were mere formalities, as the United States team had clinched the zone title Thursday ! and Friday with victories in the twor singles and doubles events. But instead of slowing up, Lott and Allison played their best tennis, and as a result the team record for the entire campaign against Canada, Japan and Cuba, to- taled 14 matches won and 1 lost. It was Japan's team which spoiled the record. By its victory, the United States team will represent ‘the Americaus abroad, meeting the winners of the inter-zone | European finals for the right to chal- lenge France for the Davis Cup, which it has held for the past two years. The | team expects to sail Wednesday with Allison, John Hennessy of Indianapolis, John Van Ryn, of East Orange, N.

They were mas- | ters of the play from the first serve and the Cubans were able to cope with them only at rare intervals. Volimer Puts Up Fight. Vollmer, Cuban singles champion, put up the best battle of the entire com- petition in the finals, however. After dropping the first two sets because of his eagerness and habit of falling in traps, he threatened Allison. At one time in the third set he needed but a single point to win it, but he threw it away with two successive double faults and by driving what should have been an easy return into the net. Then Alli- son showed is great superiority by win- ning the next two games, 4—1, 4—0, to | take the third and deciding set. Lott displayed the best tennis of all | the other United States players in de- | His timing was ex- | cellent, his serving sharp and true and hlstgosluon play sensational at times.

OLFERS of the Beaver Dam Country Club, smarting under a defeat administered to them last Sunday by a team of In- dian Spring members, are to move over to Indian Spring this after- | noon to play a return engagement with the players of the club near Silver Spring. Last week Indian Spring won by a single point, scoring 91, points to 815 in a match at Beaver Dam. Virtu- ally the same teams that played last| Sunday will take the field this after- noon. Bannockburn members are to play today in a match play against par tournament, events scheduled after a midweek golf orgy. which found all the clubs sponsor- ing events on Memorial day. Two Tourneys Listed. Tomorrow two tournaments are listed The largest of these is the annual champlonship of the Inter-Depart- mental League, which will start at the Manor Club with approximately half the field of more than 175 players con- cluding their 36 holes tomorrow to make way for the balance of the entrants, who will play Tuesday. And tomorrow also professional golfers from the mid- Atlantic sector will gather at the Con- gressional Country Club to play in a sweepstakes affair. Manor Club golfers were to begin today competition in the two-man best- | Bobby Jones Uses An Upright Swing BY SOL METZGER. There are two methods of swing- ing a golf club—upright and fiat. Both have proved successful as_the records of Bobby Jones and Mac Smith testify. Most of us use the upright swing. Jones does. It permits one to take the club back almost straight from the ball and then lift it up high and over the shoulder into the position Jones is occupying in the sketch. As the pivot or body turn brings the left side around and forward on a braced right side the resulting blow enables you to put every ounce of swinging power and weight into the sweep through. It gives the player less margin_for error, as it tends to keep his club more on the line of play throughqut the stroke. The upright swing also enables him to keep the left arm straight more easily than does the flat swing. Note a fat man swinging. The chances are he'll use a flat swing and have the dickens of a time tak- ing his left arm back without per- ceptibly bending it at the elbow. The upright swing is also better to prevent swaying, a fault that will spoil any shot. Next—How Jones Starts His Club Back, in one of the few club| ball team competition, with club handi- caps, which was won last year by Har- old Brooks and Robert C.

Again tied as the result of what was supposed to have been the decisive en- gagement for the Dawes Cup, em- blematic of the interscholastic team championship, golfers of Western and Central High Schools will meet again next Saturday cn a neutral course to settle the question of supremacy. From a team rendered weak early in the season by ineligibility of some of its prospective members, Western had battled its way into a tie with the|won by Central. 2 and | strong Central team prior to yesterday to force a‘tie, and yesterday the two teams agaih tied in a match ?llyed at ‘!he Congressional Country Club, each aggregationt winning 44 points. For a time confusion reigned as to whether the whole match should be played over, and at last a decision in this direction was reached by the rival captains—Mike Oliveri of Central and Tommy Webb of Western. The decisive contest may be played at Washington. Smith Saves Day. ‘Webb won the first five holes yester- day frcm J. Monro Hunter to win the match by a five-hole margin. Holzberg and Smith of Western were 1 down in their best-ball match against Horton of Central, holder of the interscholastic title, and Knibly of Central. But Smith holed a 20-foot putt on the eighteenth green for a birdie 3 to square the match. Had the ball not gone in the hole Cen- tral would have won the championship by 5 points to 4.

Al Day, former manager of the club, once told us the story of how he wished the club might have a large trophy to be competed for in the invitation tournament. He went to see Mr. Hoo- ver in his office in the Commerce De- partment Building (he then was Secre- tary of Commerce), with his proposi- tion for Mr. Hoover to give such a cup. The President authorized Day to go ahead and the trophy now has been in competition for four years. Mr. Hoo- ver is not a golfer, but during the days when he presided over the destinies of the then young and growing Congres- sional Club, he was a hearty sponsor of all forms of club activity and real- ized that golf was the chief sport of the club. The trophy is a massive plece of silver with a top representing the dome of the Capitol. To the win- ner of the invitation tournament goes a replica of the trophy. ‘Three Washington bankers and the club professional opened the of the Annapolis Roads Golf and Coun- try Club last Thursday when they played the first round of the new layout down on Chesapeake Bay. In the four- some were Lawrence Slaughter of the Commercial National Bank, Charles H. Doing, jr, of the Washington Loan & Trust Co.; Christopher H. Pope of the Munsey Trust Co. and Walter F. Hall, the club pro. Although the course is not officially ready for serious play, golfers who are members of the club may play under ‘Winter rules. World famous golf holes have been used as the basis of design of the course, which is declared by Hall to be the equal of any he ever has seen. Famous holes at St. Andrews, Biarritz, Lido and the National have been repro- duced at Annapolis. ‘The board of governors of the club has in its membership several Wash- ingtonians, among them Mrs. Richard Frazer, Joseph H. Himes, Wilton J. Lambert, Rear Admiral W. A. Moffett, U. 8. N.; Gen. Charles P. Summerall and C. H. Pope. Talbot T.

Travis won the British ama- teur by the finest putting the British ever had seen, the royal and ancient tumbled over itself to bar the Schenec- tady, or center shafted, putter which Travis used with such effect. And in 1921, when Jock Hutchison won the British open. mainly by use of a great back-spin shot made possible by slotting the faces of his iron clubs. the British retaliated by barring clubs with such a slot as to increase the cut on the ball. Three years ago they barred steel shafts in their championships, after several American pros had used them with telling success. But in this country they can use steel shafts and center-shafted putters, although the rule as to slotted-face clubs is in agree- ment here with that of Britain, Whatever the reason may be, Hagen goés on, seemingly forever, and no mat- ter how many singles matches he may lose, he always seems to be able to win the British open. Bob Barnett claims_the American professionals win in Britain because they play all their long shots with a pull or hook, and that they knock their approach shots up in the air instead of playing the pitch-and-run game the Britons favor so much. That seems a tenable argument, for Ted Ray, one of the greatest of British golfers, always knocked the ball in the air, and was the originator of the phrase, “there are no_bunkers in the air.” Barnett believes firmly that the ball which comes in from the right side is a better ball than that which comes in from the other direction. He points to the let down of Gene Sarazen's game in 1923 and 1924 when the former open champion changed his game from 2 hooking game to one with a controlled fade at the end of his long shots. “It's too hard to control,” Barnett claims.
