S PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1930. SPORTS United States Tennis Association Is Facing Real Task in Naming Cup Team Logan Shoots 176 Game by Way LOTT PICKED OVER HUNTER WITH TILDEN FOR SINGLES Richards Also Opines That if Borotra Instead of La Coste Pairs With Cochet for France Yankees Will Have a Chance for Title. BY VINCENT RICHARDS. Internationsl Tennis Star and Former Davis Cup Ace. This ends a series in which Vincent Richards has analyzed the capa- bilities of the men chosen for the 1930 United States Davis Cup squad, with a discussion of their chances of making the team. NOT in many years has the Davis Cup committee faced a tougher job in picking the team to represent tennis matches this Summer. Until a few years ago the the United States in the international selection was simple. With Bill Tilden, Bill Johnston and Dick Willlams, victory was assured before the campaign started. Then came 1927 and the loss of the cup to France. mmittee began. The problem was whether to use United States Davis Cup col the veterans or the younger players, For two years the United S returned empty-handed. The time is near when the ‘The worries of the tates has sent teams to France and they have United States will be in other campaign, and to the problem whether to use the veteran players is :‘d‘md the cnnp\-mg;rum of whether they will be available if they are asked to play. Then there is the difficulty of evalu- ating_the strength of the opposition if the United States reaches the chal- lenge round. Will France be represent- ed by Henri Cochet and Rene Lacoste or by Cochet and Jean Borotra? If Lacoste is ready and fit, the United States may decide that the cup can- not be brought back and that it should build for the future, using an entirely young team. If he cannot play, then the United States will have a good chance to win the challenge round by using the players who can make the best showing in 1030. 1 don’t_envy Joseph W. Wear and ‘his committeemen, for they may receive much harsh criticism. But I cap make my personal selections for the team ‘without having to worry about the con- sequences. I may prove a poor prophet, but & poor prophet is no worse than a good second-guesser. Tilden, Lott for Singles. In my opinion Tilden and Hunter will be a ble for the United States team, and Lacoste will not be used by France, as I have said in my previous articles. So, selecting the United States team on this assumption, I pick William Tilden Lott for the singles, &nd 1 do not think Bill barest chance of long as lenge round of 1929. more than the beating Cochet, however, as Cochet is on his game. I pick Lott as the other singles man because I think he is as good a player as Frank Hunter, and that these two are our next best players after Tilden. The Davis Cup committee was criticized 88 EEE%&??&E We recommend these 'S with Borotra. For another thing, I think Lott, when inspired, can reach greater heights than Hunter on his best day. So whereas both of them would have a good chance of beating Borotra, Lott might do the impossible and beat Cochet. But I can- not conceive of Frank doing that.

Borotra, naturally, be the favorite, but the margin would be 80 slim that I wouldn’t be any more sur- prised to see Lott win than I would be to see the Basque come through. 1If the team I have picked should turn out to be the choice of the committee I think it would have every right to enter the challenge round against Cochet and Borotra as no worse than a 5-to-6 bet.

It struck this reporter that he looked exactly the same as he did 15 years ago. It is not a generally known fact that Cox was the loser in the most brilliantly contested duckpin game ever rolled here. At the old Palace he took a 181- t0-179 beating from Charles L.

XAVIER QUINT FEARED IN CATHOLIC TITLE PLAY CHICAGO, Iil, March 20 (#)—St. Xavier High of Louisville, Ky, today stood out as the team to beat in the national Catholic high school cham- pionship basket ball tournament at Loy~ ola University.

At least one of the local professionals intends to travel further afield than Pinehurst in his search for pelf and glory after the tourney at the Carolina resort. Arthur B. Thorn of Woodmont, San- dy Armour of Congressional, Fred Mc- Leod of Columbia, Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase, A. L. Houghton of Harper and “Red” Cunningham of Burning Tree expect to go to Pinehurst to play in the North and South, and one or two others also may make the trip. Thorn is the only local professional, so far as is definitely known, who Wwill take in the Augusta open tournament, to be played three days after the close of the North and South open. The latter event will be played next Thursday and Friday, and the Augusta open, in which Bobby Jones will renew his feud with Horton Smith, will start the following Monday and continue through April 1. 1In the Augusta event, for which both courses of the Augusta Country Club will be Used, Jones will have a chance to square accounts with Smith. The former Jop- lin lad nosed out the open champion from Atlanta by 1 stroke in the re- cent Savannah open championship. Will Ilich, chairman of the golf com- mittee of the Woodmont Country Club, is known at his club for his dry wit. ‘The other day Ilich, Maurice Eiseman, Morris Simon and Arthur Thorn were playing in a four-ball game, At the eighth hole Eiseman put his ball in the bunker guarding the green. He raised his niblick to knock it toward the pin, struck the sand and nothing ha) Again he swung at the ball ant with no result. Ilich, meanwhile, was watching the proceeding with some pleasure and considerable interest. Sud- “Toot, toot.” Come on Maurice. Twelve o'clock. Quiting time.” and the other members of the game haven't stopped laughing yet. Claude Orndorfl, a former caddie master at Bannockburn, has been made assistant to Arthur B. Thorn in the golf shop at Woodmont. Mrs. Emory Smith again heads the handicap list of the woman golfers of the Chevy Chase Club. Mrs. Smith is rated at scratch in a club which in- cludes many of the leading woman golf- ers about the Capital. Ranked next to her are Mrs. L. O. Cameron and Mrs. A. S. Merrill, who are handicapped at 6, while Mrs. James W. Beller, Mrs. Harrison Brand, jr.; Mrs. Frank R. Keefer and Mrs. Hume Wrong all are handicapped at 7 strokes. COAST CHAMP SHINES IN 3-CUSHION TOURNEY FRENCH LICK, Ind, March 20 (). —Consistent playing by Joseph Hall of San Prancisco, Pacific Coast champion, and the only unbeaten player in the tournament, and a double triumph scored by Max Shimon of Milwaukee, defending champion, marked the third day of national amateur three-cushion championship play here yes- terday. Hall kept his slate clean by defeating " | Bernard Fritz of Nashville, Southeast- ern champion, by 50 to 47, in 95 in- nings. Shimon defeated Ervin D. Tuck- e— |er of Dedham, Mass, New England champlon, in the afternoon by 50 o 36 in 95 innings, and took the measure of John H.
