EW YORK, July 22.—Of course, the United States Tennis Association is not giving three cheers over the elimination of the United States by Great Britain in the interzone match leading up to the 'challenge round against France for the Davis Cup. Yet if one could probe into the minds of some of the more philosophical offi- cers of this body, it would perhaps be found that they ‘are nct so sure that the licking ¥rank Shields and Sidney Wood took from Bunny Austin and Fred Perry, respectively, will not do this Ppair of youngsters a lot of good. A sound trimming once in a while is no. the worsi thing that can happen to a bumptious yonng athlete. In the case of our two representatives in the interzone singles, their downfall will be woven into the warp and woof of their experience and two years from now will find them the beneficiaries of all that has happened in the meantime, includ- ing unexpected defeats. No Real Upset. In the case, though, of Shields and Austin, there was no real reason why Frank's downfall should have been taken as an amazing upset. It may or may not be remembered that in their match on the center court at Wimble- don Austin held maich point twice against the American and failed by hairlines of winning out. So there is no conclusion other than that Shields and Austin are very closely matched. Austin’s game, as observed here two years ago, was that of a fair first-rater. Undoubtedly he has im- proved, as nhe chould; he is not more than 25 years old. He had had this vear the experience also of a lot of international play, and so there is not the slightest doubt that he has ad- vanced very materially. So has Fred Perry. another youngster. Perry and Hughes are coming over here in September to have a hack at our national singles. In view of Austin’s showing at Wimbledon and in Paris, it would seem altogether likely that the Britich association will send Austin, too. If he does not cofe, it will be in all probability because of lack of funds in the association treasury. England has | rot been in the spotlight for so long | that the question of money is a rather | delicate one. But in any case Perryl and_ Hughes will be here. The French will send & team and, in | view of plans which seem to be brewing | for an alliance in professional rivalry between Tilden and Cochet, it is re- | garded likely that the sporting goods dealer of Lyons will come as a mem- ber, even if his expenses are defrayed by parties other than the French fed- eration. Helpful to Tennis. The effects of the victory of the Eng- lish Davis Cup team over the Americans | will be beneficial to tennis on the British isles. It will be very stimulating, even assuming that the team fails to pre- vail over the French in the challenge round—which it is unlikely to do if Cochet is in any form at all. In the long run, though, the shoals of American boys who are coming up in the game so greatly outnumber any- thing that Great Britain or France can | show as to make it certain that in- suing vears will see this country re- suming dominance in the game. When Shields and Wood learn that not al- ways can they move forward on a straight line and slam their way to vic- tory, that they must meet situations as | trey come and adjust their play to| them, they will be much more formid- | able than they are today. | Any one who has watched Tilden and | other great masters of the past has no- | ticed how they have stalled along, keep- | ing the ball in play as leng as they | could while studying out the special | problem which their rivals interposed. | Working along. feeling for the proper | touch and, when they have it. begin- ning to lay into the ball are the definite | hallmarks of greatness plus experience. | Shields and Woods and all the young- sters do not know this yet. but in time they will. Meanwhile Amerieans have | nothing but admiration and good will for Bunny Austin and Fred Perry.

COURT OF APPEALS STANDS BY GARDEN | By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 22.—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has up- held the Federal injunction granted Madison Squave Garden Corporation of Illinois to restrain Primo Carnera from battling Jack Sharkey for a rival pro- moter.

MANCHESTER, Mass., July 22.—Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, her game sharpened by the past two days of tournament, was well on her way to a fourth victory in the annual invitation women’s singles tennis tournament of the Essex County Club. Sharing the quarter final brackets with her were 7 of the Nation's first 10 women tennis stars, but none of the survivors was conceded as good as an even chance to check the sweep of the former national champion. Mrs. Moody still was difficulty with her service yesterday, but she refused to soften her second service ball and nullified errors by scoring 41 placements and 4 aces against two hard-driving New York rivals. She de- feated Mrs. Mary Lamme, 6—1, 6—3, and Charlotte Miller, 6—2, 6—2 Today's matches send Mrs. Moody against Virginia Hilleary of Philade!- phia, Mrs. Lawrence A.

Foreseelng a possible victory in the Harding Cup competition by his public links stars from the Nstional Capital, ) course in St. tempt to bring back the trophy. Jim_thinks the public links team from Washington this year has a good chence to win, and he adds t| or two of his hopefuls may go some- where in the individual champlonshi) Not that Jim is enthused by the qui ity of the golf they have been pla ing in the chase for the individu cause the boys who form the Herding Cup team will have a chance to pra tice on some good courses and bru up on their shots before they set sail for St. Paul on August 1. Now, golf to J.m is like a breath of smcke 'to an old fire horse. And when you menticn public links golf you have struck Jim right at the seat of his deepest affections. Mention the fact that public links golf isn't what it used to be a half dozen vears ago, when George Voigt, Al Houghton, Harry Pitt and a few others used to play at East Potomac Park, and you'll get a quick answer from Jim. ‘“Maybe not,” Jim says, “but isn't Ted Burrows good enough to step out and win a big golf tournament from the best of your club stars? And if some of the other public links boys were permitted to play in your club tournaments you would see the same kind of golf that George Vo'gt | used to shoot.” IM came rushing into the field house at East Potomac Park, all excited because he had heard of a 12-year- old kid going out and shooting a 74 in the opening round of the tourney for the American Legion junior golf trophy. The lad was Billy Detweiler and he plays at the Manor Club. But Jim was excited because he didn‘t know of the | handicap affair: youngster, hadn’'t seen him play, and anted to know why a kid wh> ‘could | shoot a score like that was not known to_him. Further inquiry brought the informa- tion that the Detweiler youngster swings | a club like a veteran golfer, and that he finished with a pair of birdies for a 36 on the last nine to take the lead in | the qualifying round for the Legion | trophy. Now if Jim has one weakness | it is pub'ic links golf, and if he has | two weaknesses, they are public links golt and kids who show potential chnm-l pionship quality. Detweiler is not a public links player, but Jim wants to know where this youngster has been hiding a'l this time and why he hasn't heard of him. | Tt seems thaf some of the boys who | will go to St. Paul on August 1 have | complained to Preston that the putting | greens at Eest Potomac Park do not lend themselyes to the type of gams that demands pitched balls to the greens. Jim, not to be outdone, | has bzen in touch with Bob Stead of | Chevy Chase, and George James of Columbia, and has obtained the assur- ance of these two golf committee men that his pubfic links team may practice over the two coursss bafore they go to St. Paj ED BURROWS, the holder of the local public links title, was tied for the lead in the current champion- ship as _the final day of play started today. Burrows, who is looked upon as a favorite to repeat, was even at the end of the second round in the 72-hole competition with John J. Connell n- other member of the . District public links team, with totals of 158. Twenty- three players started in the final day of the tourney today, the survivors of |, the first two torried rounds. Many dropped out because of the heat and others quit because they had no chance to win, John M, Downey, who led over the first Found, was a shot back of Burrows and Connelly. Burrows added a 179 | yesterday to his 79 of the opening day, | while Connelly scored 77 to add to his | 81 of the first day. ! H. G. Dorsey, aided by an ace scored | on the fitth hole of A course, was a | stroke behind Downey. Three players | were tied for the next place. with scores | of 163. They were R. R. Hair, Joseph Micker and Duncan H. Brooks, while | Harlan Will, another member of the local public links team, was next, with 164 Young Detw=iler set up a 1oark wi the rest of the youngsters will have | trouble beating on the opening day of | the tourney for the American Legion | trophy donated by Capt. Watson B, | Miller. His 74 led his nearest competitor | by 9 strokes. Next to him were Richard | Groettem and Andrew Oliveri, both with | cards of 83. The Legion qualifying | round will end on Saturday and match | play will start fiext Monday. Play is | limited to youngsters who were born on June' 30, 1914, or later. ‘ L FARR, champion of the Park| Amusement Co. employes, will de- | fend his title in a tourney which | will start within a few days. Here are the ings for the event, which is a | C. B. Miller vs. Farr, R. E. Jerons vs Al Thomas, W. J. Martin vs. W. W. Dunlop, 8. T. Miller vs. B. Harry Graham, H. D. Bowers vs. Maynard Hanna, Mel Luttrell vs. K. A. Pearson, | G. S. Dorsey vs. M. T. Padgett and R. H. Stevenson vs. Ray Henry. First prize in the tourney is a dia- mond studded medal presented by S. G. Leoffler, and Farr has his eye on the trophy. His chief stumbling block will be Graham, manager at Rock Creek Park, who has been practicing assidu- ously. Graham called up Farr the other day and confided to him. by way of en- couragement, that he had shot a 34 on A course at Rock Creek. Mrs. Parker West, donor of the trophy offered as the main prize in the wom- en’s tourney at the Soldiers' Home course yesterday, won the event with a card of 86—21—65. Mrs. H. S. Knox was second with 83—16—67, and Mrs. Jerome Mever was third with 87—18— 69. Mrs. Almo von Steinner won the low-gross prize with a card of 82. | Many Washington golfers moved over to the Maryland Country=Club today to play in the qualifving round oi the tour- nev which started today over the Park Heights avenue course of the club. SANDOR SZABO. OSMOPOLITAN drips from tomorrow night's wrestling card to be presented at the Washington Auditorium by 10 of widely assorted grunt men of Jack Curley’'s menagerie. All told, there is a Hungarian, Pole, two Germans, Lithuanian, Russian, In- dian, Italian, Afghanistan and Greck on the card. The Hungarian youth, Sandor Szabo, holds the center of the stage with Mike Romano, the Italian gentleman from Chicago. Szabo, with his flashy backdrop, is expected to find tough Mr. Ro- mano a little tougher than ilo. Steinborn and Toots Mondt, whom he conquered on his two previous visits here. For the semi-final Richard Stahl, German protege of Dick Shikat, will oppose Carl Fojella.

Ghafoor was not much of a wrestler when he first appeared, here, but he shaved off that handle bar mustache (built to be pulled on) and now he's been winning quite_often.
