SPORTS.’ 2 L oy 4 D C. FRIEAY JULY Germans See Chance to Beat U. S. Netmen : Leesburg Warns MERELY HOPEFUL OF TURNING TRICK | = % Gain an. Unexpected Victory | Over Britons and May Do Same to Yanks. BY W. E. ANGLY, Assuclated Press Staft Writer, RLIN, Jyly 19 (#)—Proud of their rapld rise in sports, Ger- mans by the thousands turned f their thoughts today to the en- counter between thelr best ten- nis players and those of the United States, meeting at the Red and White Club in the interzone finals of the Davis Cup ccmpetition. To have reached this stage in the | great international competition is one of the finest feathers that has been put in Germany’s hat since the country be- | gan fo take sport seriously with the| end of the World War. Tickets for| the match, which will occupy three | alternoons, are difficult to obtain today and those who are lucky enough to find | them must pay four or five times the printed price, Having beaten England in the Furopean zone final. the German players and their admiring public are not at all pessimistic over their chances sgainst the Americans. “We did not_expect to beat England | but we did. We don't expect to beat | America but we might,” just about| sums up the attitude of the German | tennis writers and those fans who be- | lieve what they read in the papers The general expectation is that Big Bill Tilden, lanky leader of the Ameri- | can forces, will tuck away the first| victory for America when he opens the three-day tourney this afternoon with Hans Moldenhauer opposing him. Fut none of the German sportsmen who have been watching the rival| teams in practice is willing to concede that America’s other singles plaver, Frank Hunter, can dispose of Daniel | Trenn. young German ace, without a considerable struggle, if at’all. There indeed many who think tonight will find the two nations tied at one match each, The belief is based on the fact that ! Prenn is manifestly getting better each | day while Hunter has made the least | impressive showing of any of the four | Americans brought here for the inter- zone final. Hunter's notable weakn is expected to offer a gcod opening for Prenn, whose tennis siar is most cer tainly on the rise, and many Germans think he will be able to score an easy victory over the hard-driving Am can by taking advantage of this weak- ness Soclety, whether it plays tennis or not, is more or less agog over the inter- national matches, which are something new on Berlin's calendar of what one must see. The fine comfortable wicker arm chairs, which look down upon the end of the court, all have been gobbled up by people with titles or money or hoth, while many others who bear the same distinctions must be content with 2 hard wooden seat in the side stands at many times its original price. PARE IN SEMI-FINALS | OF WESTERN TOURNEY —_— | | Br the Associeted Pre: CHICAGO, July 19.—Places in the title round of the Western tennis cham- pionships today were within reach of four of the country’s younger stars at Skokie Country Club. | California_visioned an all-native son | final, with Keith Gledhill of Santa Bar- hara and Fllaworth Vines of Pasadena cafely planted in the semi-finals. But had first to overcome Emmett Fare of Chicago, while Gledhill was to hattie it out for the other place with Cliff Sutter of New Orleans, Vines and ter furnished the upsets of the quar- r-final round. The Californian ad- | anced by a surprise victory over Kirk, Reid of Cleveland, and Sufter made &'| fine recovery, after losing the first set, to remove Leroy Weir, another Chicago Etar. | Pare moved up by a quick victory over Jack Harris of Chicago, and Gled- hill overcame his stiffest_opponent of the tournament in downing George O'Connell, the Chicago barnstormer, in {hree set: One favorite was missing from the woman's singles. Mrs. Ruth Riese of Saginaw, Mich., was put out in the third round by Mary Zita Hale of Dallaz, T The other outstanding entrants were: Clara Louise Zinke and Ruth Oexman of Cincinnati. Catherine | Wolf and Murial Adams of Indianapolis, | Caroline Swartz, San Francisco; Mrs. | Barbara_Duffy, Cleveland. and Ruth Bailey, St. Louis, all having won their | third-rounders. ‘ | D. C.

Richards Picks Yankees To Down German Netmen BY VINCENT RICHARDS, Professional Tennis Champlon of the World. After more than two months’ play in the American and European zones, the United States and Germany, as the respective winners in these sec- tions, come to grips today, tomorrow and Sunday in the interzone match to see which will take on France next week in the challenge roung. The interest of the tennis world centers on_the match, for it finds a new nation bidding for world su- premacy, and the struggle promises to be real. The fact that the American team had 'so little trouble coming through to the interzone match is to the ad- vantage of Germany, for the Ger- mans met real opposition, and their wins over Italy and England should have bolstered their confidence. Tilden will be on the firing line for the United States in the singles, and Van Ryn and Allison will take care of the doubles. As Frank Hunt- er was put on the texm instead of George Lott, to the surprire ef everyone, he will play the other singles. Germany’s team In both singles and doubles will eonsist of the men who beat England, Hans Molden- hauer and Daniel Prenn. Moldenhauer and Prenn are tough nuts in_singles, Each beat Bunny Austin, England’s pride, and as Aus- tin beat Hunter at Wimbledon, it looks as though Frank would have a battle on his hands in the ‘singles. But even if he should lose both singles matches, I believe the United States will come through. Tilden ought to be better than either of the Germans, and I favor Van Ryn and Allison to win the doubles.

The per- sonnel of the two teams has been announced, however, by their respective | captains, Maj. R. C. Van Vliet, Army, and Lieut. Comdr. V. H. Godfrey, Navy. From this Jist it is not hard fo name the probable singles contenders, though | in what order they will play or how | they will combine for doubles play, re- mains a mystery. : Play begins tomorrow at 2:15, with the singles encounters going on the courts first. Four singles and three doubles are carded. According to the established custom of the servie teams, the actual line-ups are not made public until afternoon of the day prior to the Leech Cup play. Comdr. Godfrey, announcing the Navy team, admitted that the brunt of | his ‘singles’ defense would fall upon a quartet selected from the following group: Lieut. Richard Morgan Watt, jr.; Comdr. C. C. Gill, Ensigns W. E. | Howard, J. M. McCue and James Far- ,Tin. From this group it is probable | that Lieut. Watt will be selected for | the No. 1 post. Others named on the | Navy team are: Capt. W.
