SP - American YANKS MUFF BEST YEAR FOR TRIUMPH Other Nations Bringing Up New Talent—U. S. Alibis Bring Shame. BY LAWRENCE PERRY.. EW YORK, August 2.—Upon various occasions since the Davis Cup was wen by players representing the British Isles, certain persons who follow tennis closely have re- marked that the transfer of matches for the trophy from dirt to grass probably will help the American cause. | Inferentially this is an alibi for our defeat in the interzone match against Britain in the Roland Garros Stadium in Paris—another of too many alibis of which we have all been guilty and for which many of us now are heartily ashamed. It is true that whereas in France the Davis Cup matches were played on dirt, at Wimbledon next year and as long as the British hold the cup the footing will be turf. But this change will not | make a particle of difference to the American players or any other players. Most of them are as accustomed to dirt a8 to grass and in any case all they have to do to win on either is to play superior tennis. Only Two Types Legal. W the rules covering Davis Cup play we find that board courts, courts built of gravel, concrete, or surfaced any way save with turf or dirt are itely prescribed. ‘With dirt and turf thus legal, play- ers of all countries have plenty of ex- perience with either except the English, who play more on grass than on dirt ORTS orseshoe Star READY TO DISPLAY HIS NEW SKILL.

PUBLINKS TILT LED BY COLEING SERBE Boyer, Sports Writer, Bangs 68 in Qualifying Round at Portland, Oreg. because most English courts, in observ- ance of tradition, have a turf surface. | But we now have the best evidence | that the English adapted themselves without difficulty to the clay of the Roland Garros Stadium. | The fact that the cup now is held | in England will make no difference in | future American plans concerning its Tecovery. A feeling does exist, though, that our Davis Cup team has been | handicapped by having soft competition | in the interzone matches in this hemisphere, whereas European teams, Wwhat with Italy, Germany, France and England in the field, are all better | matched. This, however, is a condi- tion which no planning could over- come and it must wait upon the im- rovement of North American tennis or solution. This Was the Year. DEFINITE feeling exists that this | year was our time to have won the cup. Some youngsters, headed by the youth, Merlin, are coming up in France: England, under the impulse of her first Davis Cup victory since 1912, will be hard to beat on her native sofl, and Iraly and Japan will both be formidable in increasing degree from now on How-ver, the prize most worth win- ning is the one that is difficult to win, | a bromidic bit of philosophy which may or may not prove cheering to our Davis up committecmen. i By the Associated Press. ORTLAND, Oreg., August 2. —Talbot (Tab) Boyer, a Portland sports writer, has demonstrated he can play golf as well as record the achieve- ments of others on the links. He toured the Eastmoreland course in 68 yesterday to lead by three strokes for the first half of the qualifying round for the National Public Links Golf Tournament. At least 71 others Were in a position to gain a place in the select 32 for championship match play after the qualifying ends today. Par is 72. Boyer cracked his own course record at Eastmoreland when he clipped two strokes off each nine to post his sen- sational 68. His former mark in com- petition was 71, the score of Robert Tomes, Long Beach, who won sccond honors on the first 18 holes. Charles Ferrera, San Francisco, 1931 champion, equaled par, as did Bob Hofer, Park Rose, Oreg. Robert Lee Miller, the defendiag champion from Jacksonville, Fla., had a 74. His putting was erratic on the outward nine, and he took 41, but 8 | 30-foot putt for an eagle three on the tenth restored his confidence, and he came home in 33. Of the 71 figured in the running 47 were from the Pacific Coast and the | other 24 from various other corners of the country.

Sam Dixon and fished from 9 p.m. until midnight. And still come reports of boun- tiful catches at the Gooses. Joe Kaufman, with Walter Leaman, David A. Baer, Mark S. Goldsmer, Maurice Mazo, Melvin Behrend and Charles Schneider motored down to Plum Point and landed over 500 pounds of fish, more than 200 in number. | I. A. Lehman, with several friends, went across the bay from Kenwood | Beach and fished near James Island, | where, in about two and one-half hours, they pulled in 285 fish. “Such a time,” said Lehman, “big ones all, and nobody was slighted. Pitts absolutely refused to catch another one when his fiftieth fish was landed. The tailender had 24.” They brought back 150 pounds of fish | for the Central Union Mission. And don't think Supt.

OUTHAMPTON, N. Y., August 2—Back on his game once more, Big Frank Shields appeared today to be the man to beat for the singles championship of the Meadow Club’s forty-third annual invita- tion tennis tournament. The 22-year-old New Yorker ap- parently Jas struck his real stride in the last two weeks, winning the Cres- cent-Hamilton invitation title and the Seabright Bowl in succession, but he reserved his finest display of tennis for the second round of the Meadow Club tournament yesterday. Pitted against Herbert L. Bowman, Shields swept through the veteran without the loss of a game. It was the first time in Bowman’s long tourna- win at least cne game. Other Quarter-Finalists. HIELDS' victory sent him into the quarter-finals along with the de- fending champion, Sidney B. Wood of New York; Gregory S. Mangin of Newark, national indoor champlon; Frankie Parker, national clay courts king; Jack Tidball of Los Angeles, in- tercollegiate title holder; Dick Murphy of Utica, N. Y.; John McDiarmid of Fort Worth, and Bryan Grant of Atlanta, The quarter-finals in singles will be played tomorrow, with Wood arrayed against Tidball, Parker against Murphy, Shields against McDiarmid and Mangin against Grant. Doubles play was to hold exclusive sway today. George M. Lott, who ar- | rived with the rest of the Davis Cuj squad yesterday, was to team up witg Wood in this branch of play.

Danny learned the ame at Chevy ase under Bob Barnett, and now that he is a full- fledged profes- sional he has blossomed as quite golfer.

Rippey lives with his sister over near the Capitol and so far as sny one connected with public links golf knows, he does nothing much but piay his favorite game. Will managed to survive a barrage of stymies yesterday in his East Poto- mas Park final with Downey in a match marked by no fewer than nine | of the things which should be outlawed from a game too clean for | such stuff to creep in.

For several seasons past match play tourneys have gone on among the seniors right through the hegted spell, and sometimes two tourmaments were in_progress at the same time. But this year the seniors have not been as active as in past years, which may be a thing, for there has been a lot of hot weather and men past middle-age feel the heat like those of less mature years.

EW YORK, August 2.— America’s returning Davis Cup players place the blame for their defeat by Great Britain in the interzone finals squarely on the shoulders of Fred Perry and Bunny Austin, England’s singles aces.’ “We were in good condition,” said Ellsworth Vines as the team arrived from Europe yesterday, “but the Eng- lishmen were just too good. What are you going to do when an opponent makes just one error against you in two sets? That's what Austin did when he played me.” And Wilmer Allison agreed. “From where I was standing and I was standing fairly close, I'd say Perry and Austin were just playing too well,” the Texan remarked. Vines did think that he and Allison were “‘overtennised mentally if not phys- ically” by their long tour last Winter in Australia and also sald the slow Prench courts and the slow ball “killed our speed.” Beasley Is Absolved. ‘ONE of the players thought Mer- cer Beasley, who acted as unofficial adviser, had anything to do with the defeat. ‘They said Beasley kept a chart of the first three sets of each match on the opening day of the serles. idea ‘was that he thus would be able to tell Vines and Allison of their weaknesses and mistakes during the Agtermission | before the fourth set. “But there was no fourth set.” said George M.
