The tie last week with Cuba turned out to be a flop. I had been led to believe that Gustavo Volimer would make trouble for the Americans, but it turned out that his victories over Bor- bolla and Tapia of Mexico at Havana didn't mean anything. The Cuban champion must have played fairly good tennis to have beaten Mexico's two aces, | but he could not put up the same kind | of a game at Detroit and was out- | classed. | Capt. Ricardo Morales did not show to any better advantage in their singles, | while in the doubles he and Herman | Upmann, who plaved in junior tourna- | ments in the United States last year, | were a set-up for Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison. The victory of ths match sewed up the series after the straight-set triumphs of Hennessey and Van Ryn in the first two singles. | On the finai day, when there was noth- ing at stake any longer, George Lott | and Allison were substituted for Hen- | nessey and Van Ryn in the singles, and won in straight sets also.

The heat is also said to have bothered the Cubans. That might seem funny to any one who knows how the sun| burns down in Havana, but down there | they have cool winds, and in Detroit there wasn't any relief at all from the heat. However, the Cubans weren't trying | to make excuses for thelr poor show- ing. They knew that they were out of their class, and took their defeat like sportsmen. It is to be hoped that they won't be discouraged from challenging again next year. As a matter of fact, they have reason | to feel satisfied with what they did this year. No one gave them any chance to | beat Mexico, and yet they won the tie | by the big margin of 4 to 1. If Vollmer and Morales could come | to the United States and play through the whole Summer against our best men, it would help their game sur-| prisingly. That is the only way in| which they can expect to improve—by taking on players who are better than themselves. That was the way the French got to | the to They came to this country er year and went up against the cream of the talent. They took some bad beatings, too, in their first years here, but they expected them and didn't let the defeats bother them. Instead, they profited by their expe- riences, improved their strokes, learned how to play the Americans, and finally cup for France for the first time. | The Cubans and all other countries | that are challenging for the cup should | take this exemple of the French to | heart.

Fading Interest Limits Entries For Middle Atlantic Golf HE season's largest sectional golf event has drawn the smallest | number of entries of any big affair held about Washington | and Baltimore this year. Notwithstanding unremitting work by | officials of the Middle Atlantic Golf | Association, the entry list for the an- | nual championship made public today contains only 51 names. | Nineteen of the entrants are from | Washington clubs and include most of | H the leading players about the Capital. A. P. Strobel of the Baltimore Coun- | try Club, where the tourney will start | Thursday, who is president of the as- | sociation, today announced that post entries will be received up to noon to- | morrow and the starting list will belc held open until that time. Whether it is one factor or a com- bination of factors that keeps the entries down in the mid-Atiantic affairs | can only be guessed, but it is a fact | that the list has been dwindling for | several years. Last year at Congressional the tour- | nament had fewer than 100 entries. Strobel hopes that a number of golf- ers will take advantage of the exten- sion of time for enterting and send in their entries to play. Prizes have been purchased for six flights, which would total 96 players, but if the entry list 15 small, only four flights will be played. A single qualifying round of 18 holes will be played Thursday and most of the Washington entrants will start in the afternoon. Local rules of the B timore Country Club, which make a uniform penalty of stroke and distance | for lost ball, ball out of bounds and | unplayed ball, will prevail. Match play rounds will follow on Friday-and Sat- urday. The abbreviated entry liét, with pairings and starting times, follows: 10 W. C. Murphy. Balto. C. C., and I M Balto. C. C. 10:05—W. D.

Boys who play “snap the whip” know that the out- side kid usually shoots off into space. The straight left arm means more clubhead speed at contact because it lengthens the radius of the swing from its center, the left shoulder. A bent left arm at the top prevents this.

You may not feel the keenness of the chase, You may not leap to meet the win- ning run, You may not stand the swiftness of the pace That's part of morning—and the ris- ing sun.

Summer Observalions. “Paulino will test the punching power of Schmeling’s right hand.” Almost any one could think of pleasanter ways for the human jaw to spend a June evening. All may be quiet along the Potomac, but the Potomac doesn’t spin through the territory occupled by the Western Conference. “Why,” asks a duffer, “do they give more space to rough 'and bunk- ers on a golf course than they give to the fairways?” It fsn't actually that way. It only seems that way because the fairways are generally straight in front of you. A certain duffer sliced his tee shot almost over his own right shoulder. “How did I do that?" he asked Johnny Farrell. “I don't know,” said Johnny, “and I don't want to find out.” One of the best paragraphs ever written about a prize fighter came from Punch in the days when Battling Siki was @ champlon: “Battling Siki entered a restaurant in Paris accom- panied by & lion, and the diners wers H D. Crampton vs. Dr. G.iTucker Smith, H. L. Rice vs. Carl! all much alarmed until they saw that | the lion had Siki on the leash.” After waiting 14 years to win an- other pennant, Connle Mack seems to be getting a trifie restless, there- by disproving the stoical qualities he was sald to profess. If Max Schmeling can stop Paulino he may retire from the ring and get (comparing to the sophomore year in | high school), Miss Davis won her letters | in three sports at Holton Arms School | this year, earning a major emblem in | basket ball and minor letters in riding | and hockey. (No majors are given in | riding.) In addition, she was quarter: finalist_in the school tennis tourna ment, being eliminated last week by Marian Wells, District junior cham- pion and title holder also at Holton Arms. | Miss Davis is one of the two “three- | letter” girls in her class. Margaretta | Rowland, the other youthful athlete | with an ‘equally enviable record, was a | member of the hockey, basket ball and | riding teams also. Both girls are in| the “best cight riders” class at the school and have fizured prominently in local horse shows this Spring. Miss | Davis won two cups in the Preece Rid- | ing School event last month, capturing first place in the saddle class and the hunt team. She also won second place | in the National Capital Horse Show in the best rider class. On the basket ball field last Fall Miss Davis surprised with her speed and accuracy in the forward field, showing an improvement over her game of the previous season, which earned for her a regular position on the varsity squad. She also played forward on the victorious Blue team in the Blue and White championship, played within the school. She served as a reserve wing on the varsity hockey squad, and was one of the strong players on the Blue squad in the interside tournament, which like the basket ball event, was won by the Blues. In addition to her participation in these three sports, Helen Davis demon strated conclusively that she has i herited her father's talent for the r game when she scored impwessively over several opponents in the school tourney and succumbed only when pitted again Marian Wells, a senior and the defending champion, whom she | cxtended, 8—6, 6—3. At Chevy Chase | Club, where Miss Davis practices, she | is looked upon as one of the outstand- ing “comers.” _Already she gives a| stiff battle to her sister, Alice Davis, | former Holton Arms net star, and her | cousin, Alta, who is also an experienced | player, She's a Tall Lass. Helen, the youngest of the three | daughters of the former Secretary of | {War, is also the tallest, and has a| physique which reminds one strongly of another Helen who holds the highest piace in women's international tennis circles. The 15-year-old _youngster stands about 5 feet 6 inches today, and weighs between 120 and 130 pounds. She is blond and distinctly feminine in | type, but sturdily buflt withal and with |an admirable temperament for the game which probably will be her prin- Icipal sport after school days. Her | manner is always calm, with a reserve | | amounting to shyness. In this, too, she reminds one of the other Helen, being & miss of few words | and much action. According to her tennis instructor at the club, it Helen Davis applies herself consistently to | her game she has a rosy future on the | courts ahead of her. | 'When her parents go to the Philio- pines in the near future Helen will re- main here, as she intends to complete {her schooling before leaving the country, | | Mel Shorey, instructor at East Poto- ma2 Park, won the sweepstakes tourna- | | ment for mid-Atlantic professionals yes- terday at Congressional, turning in a | card of 73.

RTLIGHT |a job cracking concrete with his bare hands. Nineteen Years Ago. N the Fall of 1910 the two world series entries were the Chicago Cubs and | | the Philadelphia Athletics. There is a | good chance these same two ball clubs will take over the job of collecting the | winners' and the losers’ end in 1929. | The old series was the party that saw the twilight of Miner Brown, Tinker, Evers, Chance and others, as MclInnis, Collins, Barry and Baker came on, riding the morning sky. Now they also have long since been supplanted. In that old series a great young ball club crushed a great old ball club, and it is doubt- ful if the game has known any stronger teams. The Cubs won four pennants in five years, and after they slipped the Athletics won four pennants in five years From 1906 through 1919 these two clubs won eight pennants, which is about all the testimony one requires. They have not yet won the two pen- nant races of 1929. But they have | been practicing quick starts in that | general direction, and the odds are be- | ginning to lean that way as the June | campaign gets warming up. Our athletes are supposed to get bet- ter and better, but few would contend that the Cubs of 1929 are stronger than ! the Cubs of 1906, or that the Athletics of 1929 are stronger than the Athletics of 1910, Today's Gol Dope. | 6r00 many golfers” says a golf critie, “overconcentrate rather than underconcentrate.” !

PARIS, June 4—France's great ten- nis players dominated the French hard ourt championships, which ended herc esterday. Of the five titles at stake, France won two outright and shared another with England. Helen Wills captured the women's singles for the second year in succession to give the Tnited States its only title. The woman's doubles went jointly to Spain and Hol- land in the persons of Elia De Alvarez and Kea Bouman. Rene Lacoste, one of the four great French Davis Cup stars, was the out- standing figure among the men as Miss Wills was among the women. After taking the doubles title with Jean Borotra, another French musketeer, Lacoste regained the singles crown Ly defeating Borotra in a hard-fought five- set final yesterday.
