SAYS FOOT FAULTS WERE OVERLOOKED {Thinks France’s Davis Cup| Margin Not as Large as in Previous Years. BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2D. ARIS, July 31.—Though we won one less match_this year than last in the Davis Cup challenge round, the margin of superiority of the French team was less than in previous years. Jean Borotra had played me so close &t Wimbledon that the French were confident he would win. The confidence seemed well founded when he, playing stead- ily and volleying well, won the first set at 6—2 and ran into a lead of 5—2 in the second set. Up to that point I had been missing my ground strokes in returning his service while my passing shots either failed or went into Borotra’s hands. Suddenly the change came. I found control of three passing shots off his gervice which gave me the vital break and once I had pulled even, the edge of superiority was mine for the rest of the match. Borotra's Rally Short. Borotra made a gallant effort at 5—1 down in the fourth set, but though he rallied to 5-all by great volleying he could not quite pull out. Henri Cochet outclassed George Lott to win three straight sets and make it one match all the first day of play. Lott was soft end uncertain so that Cochet was never extended. The crucial match of the tie, the doubles, went most unexpectedly to France due to a remarkably liant exhibition by Jacques Brugnon, Wwho partnered with Cochet against Allison and Van Ryn, the Wimbledon cham- fons. Allison was in unexpectedly bad orm and Brugnon never played so well. His usually weak overhead wes & tower of strength while his return of service and his delivery itself were the best of the four. Cochet played well but not remarkably. John Van Ryn single-handeqd kept the United States in the mal for three sets, but Allison could do nothing right either off the ground or at the net and it was his wildness that cost the United States the vital point. Let Foot Faults Go. Lott made a t and very nearly successful effort to put us on even terms in the fourth match against Borotra. Lott played magnificently, quite well enough to win and probably would have done so if the foot fault judge had enforced the rule. Borotra continually foot faulted, especially in the last three sets, but the judge watched him and called none. Lott drove magnificently, lobbed per- fectly and volleyed and served well. He played a really great match—one for which he deserves great credit. Only hard luck kept him from victory. I feel that Lott definitely showed that has the game that may beat Borotra at any time now. The cup was won by France when Cochet and I took the court, 8o neither player was very keen in the final match. Cochet played well to win in four sets in a match that showed his undoubted genius. The largest galleries in French tennis history saw all three days’ play in which each match was keenly contested, with both Lott and Van Ryn showing themselves atly improved match players since last year.

He 1 By the Assoclated Press. SEABRIGHT, N. J, July 31.—Ells- worth Vines, the California youth who is rapidly rising to tennis fame, has pleased not only large galleries at the Seabright invitation tournament this week, but also the critical eye of Vin- cent Richards, former American Davis Cup star and runner-up for the pro- fessional championship last vear. After watching the tall youth from Pasadena defeat the veteran Richard N. Williams of Philadelphia yesterday, Richards remarked that the boy had the makings of a great player. “‘His grip on the nc&un is good and his stroking clean,” said Richards. “Of course it is still a bit early to predict on the outcome of the present season for Vines, but he has started au- spiciously.” Asked for an opinion as to the coast star's (Kecuun habit of moving back from the baseline after serving, rather than forward, as is the usual form for netmen, Richards said: “I fear he'll have to correct that. When he meets some greater opponents, in the national championship for in- stance, he'll find that & chlnge of bell batted deep to him and chop d just over the net will cause him trouble.” Vines takes on another veteran of the game today, when he meets Francis T. Hunter, ranked No. 2 nationally, in the semi-final round. 'The lower half the draw will bring together two youths from widely separated sections of the country—Clifford Sutter of New Or- leans and Sydney Wood, jr., of Pasa- dena. Nelither has reached his twen- tieth birthday. As sensational as Vines has been in | r men’s play, Virginia Hilleary has dom- inated the women's singles. Yesterday she disposed of Sarah Palfrey, her sec- | &1, ond victim of the tournament among America’s first 10 woman players. Today the Philadelphia miss has as her opponent Mrs. L. Angeles in the semi-final round. the other half of the draw two_San Francisco players will mix, when Edith | Cross takes the court against Jose- phine Cruickshank. MITCHELL AND YEOMANS CLASH AT HOT SPRINGS| HOT SPRINGS, Vs, July 31.—Dooly Mitchell and Edgar Yeomans, Washing- ton racketers, were slated to play a semi-final match today in the Virginia State open tournament. In the third round Yeomans defeated Robert Elliott of Baltimore, 6—4, 6—3, and Mitchell trimmed Byron Huffman of Cincinnati, 6—3, 6—2. Other semi-finalists were Paul Kunkel of Cincinnati and C.

Miss Kirson, one of Baltimore's leading representatives, appeared in “shorts” yesterday, when the defeated Sarah Moore, plucky little public courts player. The defending champion, Frances Krucoff, won from the former cham- plon, Corinne Frazier, 6—4, 6—1, Miss Fragier's skillful lobs giving the title holder considerable concern in the first set.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE & golf innovation that may have far-reaching effects on the old time 18-hole courses. It seems that all the holes that can be mustered at Rock Creek Park these days total only 17, which lessens by one hole the grief that can come to the players who frequent that high and hilly layout. Last Summer Johnny Kearns, the greens construction man who builds all of Concessionaire Loeffler's courses, built a new putting green at the fifth hole at Rock Creek. It was a thing of beauty, nicely graded and bunkered, with fine turf and all in all & joy to the man who can play a mashie niblick with expert- ness and skill. But not a joy forever to the greenkeepers, for when the weather man decided to turn on the beat a fort- night or so ago, the tender lL.tle blades of grass which Kearns had so carefully nursed to maturity during the Winter ;?% Spring turned up their toes and ied. ‘They died so effectively and in such quantities that today there is only a sprinkling of grass on that larger ex- panse of what used to be putting green. Now the difficulty is that nowhere ex- cept on that green is there space for even a temporary green. The contours of the ground make it impossible to place even a green which might be used while the old one comes back. The net result has been that Rock Creek has no fifth hole, and the players walk over the hill from the fourth green to the sixth tee. If you want to see baked-out fair- ways, where a tricky bounée will put you in all sorts of trouble, _Rl‘ly Rock Creek before rain comes. j0se un- dulations and knobs which cover the Iayout give any man considerable think- ing if he is to record respectable figures, but Rock Creek is not alone in tricky bounces on the ground. Yesterday we saw Dr. D. G. Davis hit one 30 yards off the line at the sev- enteenth at Beaver Dam. The ball was headed right in the direction of a big bunker at the left of the !reen and a8 it struck the ground it suddenly veered ot right angle toward the green and ROCK CREEK PARK has started | ended within 30 feet of the hole on this par 3 affair. We should draw the veil right _there, for “Doc” took three putts, thereby getting only a half instead of a win, and calling forth reproachful looks from M. H. Mater, his partner, while Bill White looked on and grinned. Good news for the golfers who play the course of the Army, Navy and Ma- rine Corps Country Club. Club officials have removed the penalty for tee shots that reach the ditch between the mark- ers on the third and twelfth holes. These ditches are just about far enough from the tee for a fairly short driver to put his tee shot smack in them, and the greens committee has relented to the point where a ruling has been made that tee shots which reach the ditch between the markers may be drc without penalty. The long hitters have had little trou- ble with shots at the third and twelfth, but those ditches are about 170 yards from the tee and are considerable prob- lem to the players who cannot carry that far. On the fourth, fifth and thirteenth holes there are no penalties for tee shots that reach the ditch, whether within the confines of the markers or not. Francis H.
