SPORT s Public Links Schedule Revised : Davis Cup Back in England After 21 Years New Public Park Champion GAINS FIRST LEG ON EVENING STAR TENNIS CUP. FINAL TOMORROW | | ATEAST POTOMAC Match Wednesday to Decide City Crown—U. S. Amateur | Prelim Programmed. BY W. R. McCALLUM. INAL rounds in the District public links championship, to determine a successor to red-headed Gesorge Malloy, the title holder, will be held on | Weédnesday, instead of tomorrow, | as originally planned. In place | of the championship tilt itself be- | tween first-flight winners at East | Potomac Park and Rock Creek | Park, the two finalists at East Po- “ tomac Park are billed to meet to- | morrow, with the city title itself to rest on the outcome of the | match on Wednesday. | Harland Will, the elongated young- | ster who won the medal at East Poto- mac Park, with a card of 72, is to meet | John M. Downey in the final round at | the down-river park tomorrow. Claude Rippey, the lengthy North Carolinan, who has won the Rock Creek | Park final, is a favorite among those in the know to win the title. But those douhty East Potomac Park supporters claim’ that if the East Potomac Park ‘winner can hold Rippey even at Rock Creek, he can win at East Potomac, particularly if the victor happens to be be Harlan Will. This youngster has been performing in such spectacular fashion all this year that Al Farr and his cohorts at Potomac think he is the best golfer in the entire group of mu- nicipal links players. On the other hand, up at Rock Creek Park they claim Rippey is too straight and too long to lose to any one who plays public links golf around Washington. \WENTY entrants from Washing- | ton clubs are among the 48 play- | ers billed to compete in the sec- tional qualification rounds for the na- tional amateur championship at Co- lumbia a week from tomorrow. The entire field will play 36 holes, with the ! low 12 scorers billed to represent this area in the championship at Cincinnati | A <* BARNEY 'WELSH.

Welsh, seedad No. 3, was decidedly off his game in the first set, netting constantly, missing overhead smashes, and losing many points on Latona’s ac- curate placements at the net. Getting | the range in the second, Barney's ac- | curate chop strokes, cross-court driving, terrific service, wore Latona down. | Latona scored frequently in brilliant at- | tacks at the net, but was unable to' cope with the Duke star’s steady, pow- !r})uel stroking and effortless court cov- ering.

WESTLAI-WD CROWNED Chicago Broker Scores His First Major Victory, With College Star as Victim. By the Associated Press. EMPHIS, Tenn, Westland took the Western amateur golf championship back to Chicago today. The imperturbable La Salle street { mond Colts marked last week's play in | broker pitted his eight years of competi- tive experience against the stouter drives of 2l1-year-old Rodney Bliss of Omaha here yesterday to take a three and two victory in the finals. Bliss, the national intercollegiate runner-up, fought gamely under the : fless Sabbath sun. but the calm, Warren Corktan, Baltimore | lost only ore, but feiled to gain ground | Geliberative Westland pursued a relent- less fight that would not be denied. The victory brought Westland his first major American title. A member of the 1932 Walker Cup team and the former French amateur champion, his principal American achievement was in 1931 when he was runner-up to Francis Ouimet in the national amateur. Bliss had several opportunities to take the advantage as he and Westland began their morning round, but his putting was not up to standard and matched Westland's early weakness with his irons. DAVIS CUP PLAYERS GIVEN NO SURCEASE By the Assoclated Press. OUTHAMPTON, N. Y, July 31— America’s beaten Davis Cup play- ers will disembark from the Olym- pic today just in time to rush into a new tennis war. Ellsworth ~ Vines, Wilmer Allison, George Lott, John Van Ryn and Keith Gledhill all were listed for competition, either in singles or doubles, or both, in the annual Meadow Club Invitation Tournament which started yesterday. So, too,. were Lester Stoefen and Clff Sutter, who played at Wimbledon and are returning with the Davis squad, as well as such ranking stay-at-homes as Frank Shields, winner of the Seabright Bowl last week; Prankie Parker, 17- year-old national clay court title holder; Gregory Mangin of Newark, Bryan le'lnnt of Atlanta, Jack Tidball and others. There was some doubt whether Vines would be in shape to play. The Amer- ican champion suffered s severe ankle injury during the interzone fipals with Great Britain and may elect to pass up the tournament.

H one that reads in places like the plot for a movie thriller—goes into the history of Eastern power boat racing follow- ing the Tri-City Regatta which closed its annual two-day stand on the Severn River yesterday. A runaway outboard motor boat that imperiled the lives of several hundred bathers and boating enthusiasts, dar- ing driving, spills, & near crash be- tween two speed boats and the Coast Guard patrol boat Apache and the drowning of a 12-year-old youngster served to keep the gallery of some 4,000 people on a raw edge throughout the afternoon. Boat Loses Driver. N outboard boat driven by Sam- uel Greer of Ardmore, Pa., threw Greer from the pilot's seat in rounding a buoy in one of the class C heats and then continued up the back stretch for a half-mile, turned and zig- zagged in crazy fashion through a score or more of boats at anchor and then headed for a group of several bundred bathers who stood helpless in its_path. Bearing down upon the horrified crowd at a 40-mile-an-hour. pace, the boat swerved a split second before plunging headlong into the mass of screaming people and crashed inta the piling beneath a diving platform that was packed with swimmers. A score were hurled into the watergby the im- pact, but none was injured. | A thrill almost as great as the run- away boat incident was produced in the race for inboard motor boats up to 225 horsepower, when the Queen Anne, driven by W.

LASTDITCH STAND MADE BY FRENCH Inexperienced Merlin Puts Up Fight Before Losing Deciding Match. By the Associated Press. UTEUIL, France, July 31.— The Davis Cup, most fa- mous of all international sport trophies, had re- turned to Great Britain today for the first time in 21 years. France’s six-year custody of the tennis trophy Dwight W. Davis donated in 1900 came to an end on the red clay courts of Roland Garros Stadium yesterday as Frederick J. Perry, first-ranking British player, whipped young Andre Merlin, French newcomer to cup competition in the fifth and decisive match of the chal- lenge round. Only an hour or so earlier, Henri Cochet, the tennis Atias who had car- ried the French through five successful | defenses of the cup they won from the United States in 1927, had beaten back father time long enough to conquer H. W. (Bunny) Austin in a bitterly | fought five-set duel, 5—7, 6—4, 4—8, | 6—4, 6—4, and squared the series at two victories apiece. Merlin Puts Up Fight. HAT shifted the burden of French hopes to Merlin's inexperienced shoulders, but the youngster, despite a valiant fight against afi obviously superior rival, went down with colcrs flying before Perry's brilliant attack, 4—6, 8—6, 6—2, T—5. Thus did the British, who already had chocked the experts with their decisive victory over the United States in the interzone finals, climax a sen- sational Davis Cup campaign, winning the cup for the first time since 1912 and definitely ending French domina- tion of world tennis after the tri-color had reigned unchallenged for a half dozen years The French defeat had been forecast on Friday when Austin and Perry made a clean sweep of the opening singles matches. Austin beat Merlin, 6—3, 6—4. 6—0, and Perry whipped Cochet, 8—10, 6—4, 8—6, 3—6, 6—1, in the | match that really broke the back of | the French defense. Perry Has Punch in Pinch.

BY GRANTLAND RICE. victory of the British Isles— | which in this case means Eng- land—in the last Davis Cup test is one of the outstanding fea- | tures of the year in sport. | For 27 years, Australia, the United States and France have practically taken charge of the leading tennis | trophy. Yet through most of this period Eng- land has been the leading tennis coun- try of the world. Certainly in the last 10 years or more Wimbledon has dominated the | ame. It has been the big show. It | has attracted the greatest talent and the greatest crowds. It has attracted the greatest general interest. English True Amateur. ITH France holding the cup there was a great three-cor- nered race among England, the United States and Australia. England’s leading entries were Fred Perry and Bunny Austin. The United States had Vines and Allison, with Van Ryn and Lott for the doubles. Australia had Crawford and Mc- Grath. Crawford of Australia was the out- standing star of the entire collection, if you include Wimbledon. But it was the young English side that beat Australia, the United States and Prance in turn—possibly the hard- est assignment ever given any Davis Cup team for 30 years. It might be said also that England | nearly as seriously as the United States and ince. English side. It is much more of a victory for amateur sport, as amateur sport ought to be, but so rarely is.
