SPORTS. Yenkee Racketers Stage Battle DOUBLES CHANPS /Tetmnis Their Game, Yankee Cup 1 { | PUT ON EXHIBITION ;Van Ryn and Lott Expected to, Clinch Series With Pampas foday. N exhibition doubles match *.was arranged for this after- hoon to follow the Davis v Cup play at Chevy Chase "*between the United States and “Argentina. It will throw Vines and Keith Gledhill, holders of the ..American doubles championship, against Lott and either Van Ryn .or Allison. The two pairs are almost evenly matched, and spar- _kling tennis was promised. rdless ‘of whether the United “Btates doubles combination does the maten today and takes the decisive against the Argentine doubles pair, the string will be played out in the American zone final. George M. Lott, flery Chicagoan, and | *John Van Ryn, smooth stroking New Yorker, were favored to win the third contest on the en-tout-cas courts at Chevy Chase and put the series cn ice, but even if they do win, the twin sin- gles contests scheduled for tomorrow will be played out, weather permitting. These singles matches will find Ells- worth Vines, lanky Californian who ‘holds the national singles title, paired against the dynamic and speedy Amer- ica Hector Cattaruzza of the Argentine, and will bring Wilmer Allison of Texas against the catlike little Adriano Zappa. The United States, with twin victories 1n the singles behind it as the result of yesterday's play, needed only another win today in the doubles match to clinch the series and earn the right to y the winner of the European zone , with the winner to meet France ‘4n the challenge round. Bernon S. “Prenticé of Rumson, N. J., nominated Lott and Van Ryn, despite a small cut on Lott's racket- hand, which did not keep him from playing two sizzling sets mn young Keith-Gledhill late yes- Y. \ and Allison literally blasted the willing but helpless Zappa and Catteruzza off the courts in the ue. “A bundle of nerves, ting with the energy he compressed serviee and every drive, Cat- was all over the court against whirl and temporarily e.

Elisworth Vines, the gangling 6-foot Californian, who holds the slnslts; championship of the United States and | generally is ranked as the leading ama- teur tennis player in the world today, can poke a golf ball 225 yards from the tee, but he hasn't much idea what to do with it after that.

While the boys were whiling away the time waiting for the Davis Cup matches to start on the En-{ tout-cas courts at Chevy Chase, they played golf, and young Mr. Vines: took the boys for plenty. He _ whipped | Allison handily with his handicap with the net result that although Allison played the last nine holes in 42 strokes, he still had to y* off. EORGE LOTT, fiery Chicagoan, who has had a lot t osay about how tennis is run, but still is a member of the Davis Cup team, is the strong man of the tennis troupers. Lott car- ried over the thirteenth green at Chevy Chase with a No. 3 iron, a distance of about 195 yards. Lots of better goifers than Lott use No. 2 irons on this hole and are glad if they reach the greel John Van Ryn, the smoothgswing 'Netmen Prove in Golf Jaunts, /Although Lengthy Off the Tee doubles partner of Allison (they held the United States doubles title for several years), drove the ninth green at Chevy Chase, a distance of more than 230 yards. All this according to Billy McCarthy. a Chevy Chase youngster who caddied for the tennis stars while they were waiting for the matches to start. “They can all hit ’em®from the tee” Billy said. “But Lott probably is the best golfer of them aH. He can hit ‘em as far as any of the others and he knows what to do with the ball around the putting green.” Vines really can wallop a golf ball. He hit one from the first tee at Chevy Chase—using the white markers—that carried beyond the row of bunkers at the left and left him:only a mashie shot to the green. Allison has better style, but he hasn't quite the distance of the Californian. HE American team didn't take ten- nis very seriously preliminary to the Davis Cup play. In all they probably played not more than a half dozen sets of tennis in practice for the matches with Argentina. But how they went for golf. The Argentinians went in for golf, too. Almost every day Adriano Zappa, captain of the visitors, togged in blue from his beret down to his black and white shoes, has played the Chevy Chase course. He also can hit ’em amply far from the tee, but he lacks the accuracy of a Travis around the green. Zappa followed part of the final round in the Chevy Chase invitation golf tourney a few days ago and was almost as excited as were the golf bugs when Dick Lunn walloped a spoon shot to the green at the nineteenth gole to win the match from Maurice ee. FIGHTS FOR MAT COACH Princetonian Would Curtail Many Sports to Keep Him. Student protest against the removal of Jimmy Reed, assistant wrestling coach, as part of the policy of financial retrenchment adopted by the Princeton Athletic Association for the coming year reached a climax when the Daily Princetonian, campus newspaper, urged that one contest be canceled for every sport, except crew and foot ball in order to permit the retention of the former Olympic star. Facing a deficit of nearly $100,000, the association this year budget almost 50 per cent. In order to maintain a full schedule of sixteen varsity and the association announced that among other economies, several coaches would be dropped. Undergraduate communi- cations protesting t Reed’s re- moval poured into the Dally Prince- tonian after the announcement. . FORTUNE PLAYS TRICKS. SPOKANE, Wash., May 26 (#)—Mrs. R. J.

By the Assoclated Press. UTEUIL, France, May 26.—Eliza- beth Ryan has been an inter- national tennis figure for 20 years, but the Californian still ranks as one of the world's greatest doubles players. ‘With® Mme. e Mathieu of France as her partner, Miss Ryan has gained the semi-finals of women’s doubles in the French hard court championships, now in progress here, and is conceded an excellent chance of sharing in that particular crown for the third time since 1925, when the championships first were thrown open to players from all countries. Miss Ryan and the South African, Nat Farquharson, also are among the | survivors in the mixed doubles division, ! but their chances are not considered so bright. Miss Ryan and Mme. Mathier gained the semi-finals of the current tourna- ment yesterday by eliminating the Eng- lish team of Mary Heeley and Freda James, 6—1, 6—0. In the semi-finals they were to meet Josane Sigart of Belgium and Margaret Scriven of England. N mixed doubles Miss Ryan and Farqubarson defeated Miss Heeley and F. H D. Wilde, 7—9, 6—2, 1210, to reach the gquarter-finals, where they will be pitted against Jean Borotra and Mme. Henrotin of France. The only other American survivor in doubles play was Frank Shields of New York. He and Daniel Prenn reached the quarter-finals of men's doubles through the default of the South Africans, Farquharson and V. G. Kirby. In the next round the German- American combination was to meet Vivian McGrath and Adrian Quist of Australia. Helen Jacobs, United States singles champion, and her Prench partner, Ida Adamoff, were eliminated in women's doubles yesterday by Mme. Henrotin and Collette Rosambert, 3—6, 6—4, 6—0. Miss Jacobs was to start her bid for singles honors today against Jacqueline Fournier of France.
