THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢ FEBRUARY 2, 1930—PART _FIVE | Tennis Outlook Bright, Richards Asserts : New Golf Ball Needs Careful Hitting . PRAISES DAVI PICKED IN U. S CUP SQUAD S. THIS YEAR Those in Charge See Future Through Rosy Glasses and Will Make Most Determined Bid to Regain Trophy From France, Says Net Star. (The following article is the first of a series in_ which Vincent Richards, tennis internationalist, will size up the Davis Cup team candi- dates. The articles by Richards will appear in The Star three times a BY VINCENT RICHARDS, International Tennis Star and Former Davis Cup Ace. week) W United States this year? sociation nominated its ILL the Davis Cup, biggest prize in tennis, return to the In early December the United States Lawn Tennis As- Davis Cup squad. 'A few weeks | later came word that Rene Lacoste, France's big ace, was through with international tennis. Then t! he announcement that Japan, one of the strongest nations in the international classic, was challeng- ing in the European zone instead of the American for the first time. And finally the sad news from Europe of the death of Hans Molden- hauer, one of the two players who carried Germany into the 1929 interzone to the amazement of the tennis world. All these happenings have their bearing on the Davis Cup outlook for 1930. There have been other items of interest, too. Bill Tilden | says he is through with interna- tional tennis, and every one wants to know whether he had his fin-| gers crossed when he said it. If| he refuses to play, will Frank Hunter drop out also? If both these veterans fade out of the| picture, who will be our new standard bearers, and what chance will they have of lifting the cup? From early preparations by the U. S. L. T. A. there is strong indication that the gentlemen in charge of our inter- naticnal forces see the future through rosy glasses, and that they are going to make the most determined bid to regain the trophy since France carried it off in 1927 When Rene Lacoste and Henri Cochet beat Tilden and little Bill Johnston three years ago at Forest Hills, every one took it for granted it would be at least five years and possibly ten before the cup would return to these shores. But the tennis solons evidently be- lieve Prance's reign is due to end this Year, and that the United States will end it. Near Victory Last Year. The fact that we came so close to beating the Gnldlhzslls&sumnzer in the challenge _roun e main reason for this. It was by the narrow margin of 3 to 2 that France turned back the United States in Paris. Some said we | could have won back the cup last year if we had used Frank Hunter instead of George Lott in the singles. But that Wwas second guessing. Another reason for the feeling of confidence is that there is a strong doubt whether Lacoste will play this| Summer. Last year he was kept out of the cup matches by poor health, and some said his days of international tennis were over. Recent reports from Paris say Lacoste has no time or in- terest for anything but business now, and that he is through with the cham- gieommp tennis, So even if he should in condition to play it is problem- atical whether he would do so. Still another reason for believing 1930 may be the United States’ big year is the progress of our younger players last Summer. Johnny Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison were the sensa- tions of Wimbledon, where they went through a fleld of the world’s best players to win the title. In the inter- zone doubles match with Germany they kept up their good work, and then crowned their success by defeating Cochet and Jean Borotra in the chal- lenge round of the doubles. There is no question these young men have im- proved tremendously as a doublss team, and it is a big comfort to know we have them to fall back upon for some years to come. Then there is George Lott of Chicago, who disappointec. in the national sin- gles championship, but took a set from Borotra and Cochet each in the chal- lenge round at Paris, and who can play, on his day, good enough tennis to beat almost any player in the world. , there are Johnny Doeg, young caveman from California, who won the national doubles with Lott and who surprised everyone with his triumphs in the East; John Hennessey ,Indian- gpolis, who was kept out of play last year by poor health; Fritz Mercur, Bethlehem, Pa.; J. Gilbert Hall, South Orange, N. J; Gregory Mangin, Newark, N. J.; Berkley Bell, Austin, Tex.; J. Barry Wood, Harvard foot ball star, who made a fine showing 1n the national singles championship at Forest Hills; Frank Shields, New York, former national junior champion; S. B. ‘Wood, New York and California, who came into prominence at Wimbledon two years ago; Junior Coen, Tilden pro- tege from Kansas City, who made the Davis Cup squad in 1928, when he was 186; George Jennings. Chicago, and Dick ‘Williams whose great play at Seabright and Forest Hills last year revived memories of his matchless per- formances as national champion and Davis Cup ace 15 years ago. An Unwieldly List. Besides these players, all of them but Williams representing the rising order, there are Tilden and Hunter on the squad, making 17 in all.

Eddie, who is a student at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh, already had beer ranked No. 4 in the intercollegiates and No. 1 in Maryland, and he was placed first in the Middle Atlantic. ‘He and his brother Billy also were ranked No. 1 in the Middle Atlantic doubles. Miss Anderson, who had seen in- ternational competition on the Wight- man Cup team, naturally was placed first in the women's division. Baltimore and Washington each gained five places and Richmond ¢wo in the women’s rankings. In the men’s singles No. 2 was won by Dooley Mitchell and No. 3 by T. J.

The four best men | of 1929 are not necessarily the four best of 1930. Allison, for instance, beat Lott in the national championship.

RACQUETS TITLE ALL-ENGLISH MATTER| By the Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, February 1.—While a large gallery of Americans looked on, two English “teams today fought out which should be the United States na- tional doubles racquets champions for the year. When it was over Lord Aberdare, playing as the Hon. C. N. Bruce, and Dr. H. W. Leatham were acclaimed the American champions. This sterling pair of veteran players defeated their fellow countrymen, Peter Kemp-Weich and Duncan Cambridge, who yesterday eliminated C. C. Pell and Stanley G. Mortimor of New York, who captured the doubles title last year. The scores were 15—4, 15—17, 15—10. Victory today marked the second time in two years that Lord Aberdare car- ried an ‘American trophy back to Eng- land, for in 1928, playing with J. C. F. Simpson, he won the doubles title.

Fred Lamprecht of New Orleans today won the Pan-American Amateur Golf Championship by de- feating Jack Westland of Chicago, French Amateur champion, 2 up, after a battle to the last hole of the final 36. It was a case of Lamprecht's long m in; | game being superior to Westland's al- most perfect short one. Lamprecht was 2 up after the morning 18 and he in- creased his lead to 3 during the first | of the afternoon round, but in the last 9 hoies Westland’s short game became deadly and from then on it was nip and tuck. Coming to the thirty-fourth hole, Lamprecht was 2 up and 2 to go, but he pulled his tee shot into the rough and was forced to chip out short of the green. Westland won the hole with a4 par 4. One up and 1 to go, precht lined out a straight high Westland was in the fairway to the left antl pulled his second shot out of bounds. ‘'That eased the tension and Lamprecht won the hole with a par 5 and took the match, 2 up.

BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. RACKENRIDGE PARK, SAN ANTONIO, Tex., February 1.—A muddy course and & misting rain failed to slow up Densmore Shute, young Columbus, Ohio, profes- sional, today as he continued his quest of $1,500 first prize money in the Texas open golf tournament here. Tied with Al Espinosa, Chicago veteran, at the close of yesterday’s round, Shute stepped out and took undisputed lead- ership in the golf parade today. ‘With a score of 68, three under per- fect figures, for his first round, Shute, winner of the recent Los Angeles open, came back with a 69 today and found himself five strokes under par as he faced the fleld in the final 36-hole grind tomorrow. His total of 137 was two_strokes better than the 139 bagged Espinosa for two rounds and three better than scores of 140 held by Tony Manero, Elmsford, N. Y., and Neal Mc- Intyre, Indianapolis, tied for third posi- tion. Espinosa turned in a par 71 today. Shute’s Game Steady. 5 Shute, followed by a large gallery, stroked the same steady golf that marked his game yesterday. In 36 holes played so far he has gone over par just once. That was on the eighth hole” today. The other 35 either have been birdies or pars. He sank an 18- foot putt for a birdie two on the last today.

The two professionals each clipped four strokes from par with 67's. McIntyre's 30 on the par back nine was said to be a record for the layout. The spectacular round put the Indianapolis star among the first four. Runyan had a 78 on his first trip. Mclntyre’s card— it 43 4 Other Low Scorers. Other low scores gathered over the soggy course included a 69 by Ed Dud- ley, Wilmington, Del., and 70s by Billy Burke, Greenwich, Conn.: Ralph Gul- dahl, Dallas; Joe Lally, El Paso, Tex.; Francis Scheider, Dallas, and Tony Manero, Elmsford.“:‘. 1&‘ All :{n 'lhe up were well within the running. m?rpeulnc the leaders was Mike Turnesa, Elmsford, N. Y., who put a 72 with yesterday's 70 to hold fifth place with 142 strokes. Burke had 143, while Frank Walsh, Chicago; Lally, P. O. Hart, Wheeling, W. Va, and Guldahl were bracketed at 144. Included in a group at 145 for the two rounds was Harry Cooper, unat- tached; Tom Rakletts, Youngstown, Ohio; Paul Runyan, Little Rock; Ray Mangrum, Los Angeles; Jack Burke, Houston, and Jack Forrester, Hacken- sack, N. J. Horton Smith Has 147. Horton Smith, unattached, greatest money winner of the fleld, took a 75 today. His two-day total was 147, 10 strokes out of the lead. Bill Mehlhorn, unattached, had the same total and likewise had little chance of getting in the important money. Bobby Cruickshank, Purchase, N, Y., also had 147. Horton Smith, Mehl- horn and Cruickshank had exactly the same scores, 72—75—147, for their opening rounds. Others who found themselves on the edge tonight included Al Wat- rous, Detroit, 148; John Rogers, Den- ver, 149; Leonard Schmutte, Lima, Ohijo, 150; Wilfred Cox, New York, 151, and Tony Penna, White Plains, N. Y, 154. Johnny Dawson, Chicago amateur, duplicated his 75 of yesterday to re- tain a slight lead over the simon-pure fleld. Lewis Levinson, San Antonio, was a stroke behind him. A select field of 64 will tee off to- morrow in the final. 36-hola scramble for $7,500 cash prizes. Scores of 155 or better gained entrance. Cut Across Under Ball Left to Right BY SOL METZGER.

WILL EXAGGERATE HOOKS AND SLIGES Standard Pellet Difficult in| Cross Wind, but Fine for Putting. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. IGGER and better glices and hooks are to menu for golfers be; g next | January. And if you think the new stand- ard ball won't exaggerate your little slice or your rolling hook, try it out in a cross wind, if you can find a place stand on a snow- covered tee, and don’t fall down as you take your back swing in the snow. Where your present golf ball will bore through the wind and only at the tail end of its flight will respond to the spin- ning impulse which it receives from your driver or iron club, the bigger and lighter ball will start off with the slice or hook, and will respond quickly to the spin- ning impulse, ending far off in the high and uncut, where the daisies grow—or will grow if the snow ever clears away. Which is all by way of pointing out that the new standard ball, which will be the only ball sold after January 1, 1931, must be hit truer and straight- er, or it will cause all manner of trouble. Most of the golfers of the present day started the game too late to have had the pleasure of playing with the old Glory Dimple or the Black Domino, which were the best known balls along about 1912 or 1913. These were the trade names for a product put out by one of the well known golf manufac- turers, Both of them behaved like a piece of paper in a wind, if they were hit with a suggestion of cross spin, and it became quite a trick to keep them on the line if there was a wind of any severity blow- ing across the course, But they were— like the mew standard balls—fine per- formers when it came to pitch shots or chip shots around the greens. They sat | down like a portly gent on an ice-cov- ered sidewalk, and they were a joy to putt. For some reason they didn’t jump off the line as the present ball does on striking an uneven spot in the green. “Bootleg” Ball Unlikely. ‘The day of a ball of the same type will be here on January 1, 1931. There have been suggestions that the gents who want to boast of their extreme dis- tance from the tee may attempt to “bootleg” the ball now in use and sur- reptitiously use it after the new larger and lighter ball becomes standard for play. That may be put down as 5o much “bunk,” for golfers are not given to subterfuges of that sort and in addi- tion, being human beings, they want— and will have—the same ball that Bobby Jones and Leo Diegel knock so far. And 10 one would suspect these lads of using any but the indorsed and approved ball. However, the “bootleg” idea has pos- sibilities, at least in private play. This new ball is a very fine product. It has been used sparingly by many golfers around Washington, who have found that it acts admirably, except as to control in a wind, and that it is a much easler ball to control around the putting green than the present small and heavy pellet. That is, it does not have the run and carry of the present ball. But the rub comes from the tee. It is an established fact that the new standard ball will shorten the tee shot of Johnny Average Golfer, and it may be that some of the par-4 holes whose greens he just managed to reach in two shots will find him with a short pitch g:yn cl;ér nl"xgt left for his par in the s after the new ball bec standard for play, il Must Be Hit Carefully. And a bigger rub comes if he slicer or 3 hooker. He will hnveeu!‘b: a lot more careful on the tee, and in the down swing so that he does not cut across the ball from one side or another, or his wonted accuracy will vanish as we would like the snow to vanish, and he will find himself in the rough grass a good deal more often than formerly. For the new ball em- s exaggerates a hook or legree that is not il with the small, heavy pill o man_like Harry Piit, who most of his long shots with a pulfll,‘ s much more apt to have trouble with the big, light ball than one who does not hit the ball s0 hard. Soaring also must, be guarded against with the new ball, for it goes up in the air—and high in the air—unless care it taken to pre- "B d ones and Leo Diegel are foremost exponents in modern gol(n:( the deep-faced wooden clubs, designed especially to stop hitting a soaring ball from the tee. With the new ball they Wwill have to deepen the faces of wooden clubs or change the angle at which they hit the ball if they are to stop ;i;re pellet from going far up in the One result of the new ball probabl: will be that the bulger-faced gub wusi be more popula: and that club faces will be apprectably deeper next year than this year. The bulger face actual- ly neutralizes, to some degree, a hook or slice, while the deep-faced club ob~ viously tends to kneck the ball down. Such stars as Diegel and Jones have ‘llttle trouble with slicing or hooking, even though Jones hits most of h | long shots with a slight pull or “draw, | but then these men are masters of the swing. To the average duffer this new | ball will contain considerable mystery. | No Loose Swing. | | Two factors will enter into playing | of the new ball. In the first pX&eylhfi | swing cannot be as loose as it has been | with the present ball. It must be | grooved a little better in order that the | ball may be struck from the inside out, 3lb.o”!top the clubface cutting across the all. And in the second place the swing must be smoother and slower. The present type of ball goes away so fast that a quick cut at the bail, which probably lacks smoothness, gets results Just the same. But the new ball, if struck in the same way, will be apt to veer off into the tall and uncut or soar high in the air to lose distance. | GRIFFIN WINS HAND BALL TITLE OF GREAT LAKES DETROIT, Mich., February 1 ().— Joe Griffin, Detroit, the national Y.
