2 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MARCH 16, 1930—PART. FIVE. Italy May Prove Barrier to Yankees Reaching Challenge Round for Davis Cup dable Interzone Foe for Americans. BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2d. ICE, France, March 15.—The competition for 1930 opens the field for interesting one is on the Riviera watching the gradual gathering of the strength The draw seems to me to be slightly lopsided, but not so bad a blind draw.

The four nations entered, the but the most sta States from coming ner in the Italy cussion the of teams in the zone is warranted at this time. o ‘Europe _prese! an entirely differ- ent aspect. Both Australia and Ja- an are cnce morc El competition, and recognizing the ab- solute necessily of training in Europe, they have for- saken the American zone and wisely challenged in the European. It is a ity that the United States Associa- fon did not follow their lead and ar. range to send its team to Europe early in_the Spring. The outstanding contenders in the European zone, in my opinion, are Aus- tralia, Italy, Japan and Great Britain. Germany, *who but for the unfortunate. tragic death of Hans Moldenhauer would have been almost a favorite, now is practically out of the running, hav- ing no one to fill his place. Holland is the fifth nation, and dangerous if both Timmer and Diemer-Kool play. Japan is the lucky member of the group, having one half to_itself, with only Holland in its half. Japan meets Hungary in the first round, and unless Baron Von Kehrling single-handed can defeat them before the team mes acclimated, I see no chance of the Nipponese stars having any trouble un- til they reach the semi-final against Holland. Should Timmer and Diemer-Kool reach their best form and the tie with Japan be played in Holland, it might be very close and go either way. Unless Holland is lucky, I belleve Japan should come through to the final. Other Half Is Interesting. ‘The other half is full of interest. England meets Germany in the first round, thus bringing the two nations into combat at once instead of at the final as last year. However, Molden- hauer’s death, coupled with the fact that the tie will be played in England this year, seems to rob Germany Jf any chance for victory. In the same quarter with England is Australia, whom they meet in the round of eight. This match may well decide the t of the zone, and it is my opinion that a very close battle will resuit. I look to see a 3-2 margin, with Australia a slight favorite. Italy should come through her quar- ter with no trouble and meet the winner of Australia and England. This match, if played in Rome, favors Italy, but if played in a neutral country, it is a toss- up. Italy is very strong this year, as both Stefani and Gaslini once more are well and in the game, while Morpurgo and Del Bono are rounding into shape. I believe whoever wins the semi-final from the half containing England, Aus- tralia and Italy will beat Japan in the ., finai round and come against the United States team in the interzone final. This interzone final will be no set-up for any one. If one thinks the United States can sail into the chal- lenge round without a battle he grossly underestimates the teams of the other leading nations. The United States team should have Lott, Allison and Van Ryn as certain- ties, with the fourth man Doeg, Mercur, Coen or possibly Hennessey, it he is re- covered from his iliness of last year. This is a strong team. + Lott One Singles Choice. Allison and Van Ryn definitely proved last year how well they can play in Europe, and they should play the doubles in the United States Davis Cup ties in Europe, no matter what their American record may be. Lott, not- withstanding his none too successful season in 1929, is a logical choice for one singles player in 1930, for he has had more experience abroad than any other young player, excepting Coen. The second singles player is a problem, but I would recommend Van Ryn, Al- lison or Coen. However, consider for a moment the personnel of the leading teams, any one of which may come through to the in- terzone final. Australia, with Jack Crawford, Harry Hopman, J. C. Willard and Moon, looks promising. Italy has Baron de Morpugo, whose record gives him a slight edge on any of the United States players. With him is Stefani, the ambidextrous player, whose im- provement this year is remarkable. Al- ready on the Riviera this year I have seen him beat Morpurgo, Coen, de Ri- cou, Rogers and other ranking stars. These two are a very dangerous pair of singles players. Morpurgo is playing doubles with Gaslini, whose improve- ment since 1928, when he played against the Americans in the Davis Cup, is most remarkable. They are a good, sound doubles team, not likely to beat & team like Allison and Van Ryn or Lott and Hennessey, but dangerous al- ways. England, with Bunny Austin, J. C. Gregory, I. G. Collins and Charles Kingsley, presents a well rounded team whose strength in Europe is far greater than one would judge from the play of Austin in America last year. Japan is the dark horse. Harada evidently is playing as well or better than ever. His victory over Cochet in Japan proves it. Ohta and Abe are fine players, not quite good enough to beat the Americans, but dangerous if any of our men should hit a bad day. ‘The new star of the team, Sato, who three times beat Brugnon in Japan, Is sald to be the most promising player Japan has yet discovered. If he im- proves steadily during the year, he may prove a serious problem for any one. To give a brief resume of my impres- sions based on the Davis Cup draw, I expect the United States to win her home zone with ease. I look to see the European semi-final fought out between Japan and Holland, Australia and Italy, with either Italy or Australia beating Japen in the final. The interzone final appears a toss- up, with the United States needing & second singles player to support Lott if she is to llenge France. The surest point with the United States is_Allison and Van Ryn in the doubles. If Aus- tralia wins in Europe, I belleve the United States may_just sneak into the challenge round. If Italy wins, it will not surprise me to see her challenge France. {Copyright, 1830, North American Newspaper Alliance.) |RACQUET CLUB PLAYERS | DEFEATED IN BALTIMORE | BALTIMORE, Md., March 15.—The | Baltimore Athletic Squesh Club team | | triumphed over the Washington Racquet | | Club, 11 to 0, today. ter ‘Baltimare Athletic Club) | y ilour, 3 to gs (Baltimore Athletic Club) i T, 3 to ipaitimore Athietic Club) de- xnicious, 3 to urkheimer (Baltimore Athletic Club) defeated H Moulton, 3 to 2 Howard Lambert (Baltimore Athletic Club) defeated G.
