By the Associated Press. | EW YORK, May 25.—With | the North American zone title safely tucked away, the United States’ youthful Pavis Cup tennis team turned its attention today to the battle with Argentina, South American zone champions, at Washington, Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday. Although definite nominations will | not be made for several days, it is ex- pected that Frank Shields and Sidney B. Wood, jr., both of New York, will | carry the entire burden in the inter- | zone clash with Argentina. These | youngsters played singles and doubles | in the 4-to-1 victory over Canada in| the North American zone final com- | pleted at Montreal yesterday. The | Davis Cup Selection Committee previ- | ously had indicated that the same | players would represent the United States against Argentina. Shields Is Ace. Shields was the outstanding player at Montreal. Not only did he win both his singles matches, defeating Dr. Jack Wright. 8—6, 6—2, 6—2, and Marcel Rainville, 6—1, 6—4, 6—1, but he play- ed a dominating part in the doubles match which the two New York young- .;tirs won in straight sets, 8—6, 6—4, 2. ‘Wood, after dropping his first singles | match to Rainville, 4—6, 6—4, 2—8, 6—4, and failing to play up to form in the doubles, came back in smashing fashion yesterday to clinch the series | with an 8—6, 6—3, 6—4 triumph over Wright. Cliff Sutter of New Orleans and Gregory Mangin of Newark, N. J., the other members of the squad, took no rt in the series, but did conquer Gil- rt S. Nunns and Walter Martin in an exhibition doubles match. Argentina Strong. Argentina has brought a formidable team northward and should give the | United States a battle all the way. Ro- naldo Boyd and Guillerm» Robson prob- ably will play singles for the South Americans. This pair or the regular combination ‘of Lucilo Castillo and | Adriano Zappa will play doubles. The winner of the Argentina-United Btates series will qualify to meet the | European zone champion and, in the event of victory, will encounter Prance | in the challenge-round. Champion Athlete LAD, 13, TO RECEIVE TROPHY HERE. . Proto.) HIRTEEN - YEAR - OLD Roland Yeung of Chicago will make trip to Wachington, D. C, next week to Tecelve his trophy as champion boy athlete of the United States, which title he won recently in the tenth an- nual indoor athletic competition of the Boys' Federation of America against 22,800 other boys. While Roland was awarded the championship May 14, his trip to Washington was de- layed. due to his undergoing ap- pendix cperation. Women’s Champ Holds Center of Golf Stage FTER four straight weeks of big- time tournament golf, beginning back in April, comes a lull in | the major tournament season about Washington this week for the golfers of the male persuasion. But where the men leave off the women begin, for even though there is 1% local | golf tournament listed” for this week, the | fair goifers of clubs affiliated with the District Women's Golf Association are to be busy this week at Chevy Chase | in the annual tournament for the wou .= en’s championship of the District -t Columbia—the high spot in women's | golf about the National Capital for the | year. | ‘To be sure the men are not without golf attractions, for some of the better golfers among the men will go to Bal- timore the laiter part of the week to play over the famed Five Farms course in the annual Spring invitation tourney of the Baltimore Country Club, while a few more will travel down to Richmond to play in the invitation tourney of the Hermitage Country Club. But, on the whole, not many of the men players will be playing in a tournament this week. Many of them are resting for a week in advarce of the championship tourney | of the Middle Atlantic Golf Associa- | ticn, scheduled for June 4, 5 and 6 over the course of the Princess Anne Coun- | try Club at Virginia Beach, Va., while | for some the next big affair is the Spring tourney of the Columbia Coun- try Club, to start on June 9 and run through June 12. | Big Tourney Well Managed. i Indian Spring’s big tourney last week saw two changes in golf competition about Washington. In the first place, the field was a record-breaker. When all the returns were in and the final list of entries counted, there were 447 | actual entries in the tourney. This rec- ord entry list exceeds by more than half a hundred the previous record credited to the Columbia Country Club three or four years back. So large was the fleld that it was physically impos- sible for the entry list to quality in twosomes in the two days allot- ted to. the medal play. So the Golf Committec scratched its collective head and wisely decided that qualification in threesomes was the only feasible and practical way to get all the players through. How well the scheme worked is at- tested by the smoothness and ease with which the qualification rounds were run through. Wiiicut a hitch of any kind, without any radical changes in the pairings and without slowing up the course to any appreciable degree the qualificatiin round at Indian Spring was played in tbreesomes, and every one seemed pleased with the idea. It may be adopted by scme of the other clubs which have large entry lists, and it would not be at all sur- prising to see Columbia adopt the i trouble. | threesome method, we were able to take ionship Event threesome method of qualification if the entry list for that tourney is large. J. Monro Hunter, the Indian Spring pro, who handled the starting in the tourney, explained that, although the threesome method is an innovation, it worked smoothly and without any “We found,” he said, “that if one man in the original threesome drcpped out, we were able to substi- tute another player almost immedi- ately. There were some withdrawals, as in any other tourney, and, using the care of the single entrants almost im- mediately. This could not be done as well if the players had been originally paired in twosomes. I believe the scheme worked out well, and it may be adcpted in the future for all Indian Spring qualification rounds.” One of the heartening features of the tourncy of last week was the re- tum to form of Harry G. Pitt of Manor. Pitt is a first-class perormer in every way and a man who should have national status instead of merely local ranking. But for some reason his game has been badly off this Spring. Only once has he had a return to form, that game coming at the Manor Club, where he romped around his home course in 69. | He struck his true game in the semi- | final of the Indian Spring tourney, | playing 11 holes against M. Parker Nolan in two better than even fours. | and then playing 15 holes in the final against Leroy Sasscer in one over even fours. In other words, Pitt played 26 holes over that testing Indian Spring laycut in one below fours, which is considerable golf in any language.

Though the pull up to the chal- lenger's position was hard and often discouraging, Szabo now is convinced that this delay in achieving his am- bition was in reality a stroke of fortune. He feels that in waiting he is able to catch Londos at the end of a strenuous campaign and in none too fit condition to defend his laurels successfully. Whether Szabo is right in his sur- mise or merely is jollying himself along remains to be seen, but there is no denying the fact that few wrestling_champions have been as busy as Londos. In the past seven months he has defended his title on the average of twice a_weck, and while many of these bouts were against mediocre opposition, he was extended often encugh to fecl the rigors of such a campaign.
