By the Associated Press. OREST HILLS, N. Y., August 5—Thanks to the brilliant play of 20-year-old Sarah Palfrey, subbing for Helen' Wwills Moody, the United States carried a 3-0 lead into the second | and final day of the Wightman Cup series against Great Britain today. All but reconciled to defeat after Mrs. Moody had been forced to withdraw at the last minute be- cause of a back injury, American supporters looked on in astonish- ment yesterday as Miss Palfrey, ably seconded by Helen Jacobs, the American champion, made a clean sweep of the first day’s matches—two In singles and one in doubles. That left the American side need- ing only one victory in the four matches remaining today to win the cup for the third year in succession and for the seventh time since the series was inaugurated in 1923. Great Britaln has won the cup four times. On the other day, Miss Jacobs’ sur- prisingly decisive 6—4, 6—2 triumph over Dorothy Round, No, 1 star of the British team, would have earned most of the headlines but the Ameri- can champion was all but forgotten in the face of the drama that surrounded Miss Palfrey’s entrance into the series a8 Mrs, Moody's understudy. Carries Heavy Burden. little Boston girl—she wclxh; only’ 109 pounds—had playe | doubles on three previous Wight- man Cup teams but never had been in a winning international match. Now ' she was thrust into an important singles berth, carrying the full burden of American hopes of retaihing the eup. Knd she n;?omled brilliantly. Against her sharply hit drives and brainy play, Margaret (Peggy) Scriven, second string British star and holder of the French title, found herself powerless and the Boston girl raced through to & 63, 6—1 victory: That would have been triumph enough, but an hour later Miss Palfrey and Miss Jacobs teamed up to chalk up the third American victory of the day, a 6—4, 6—2 conquest of Miss Round and Mary Heeley, in doubles. That came, really, as an even more stunning surprise, for America previously had won only one of the last 10 doubles matches in Wightman Cup play. Mrs. Moody Still May Pilay. HE schedule for the final day I called for three singles and one | doubles match, but the pairings were in doubt pending definite decision as to whether or not Mrs. Moody and Alice Marble of Sacramento would be| in condition to play. Miss Marble has| been ill ever since she played 108 games in a single day with the temperature | around 100 degrees during the East Hampton Tournament. The pairings originally called for Mrs. Moody to play Miss Round, Miss Jacobs to face Miss Scriven and Miss Marble to face Betty Nuthall in singles, and Mrs. Moody and Miss Marble to play Miss Nuthall and Freds James in doubles. In the event neither Mrs. Moody nor Miss Marble was in shape to compete, Miss Palfrey was to continue as Mre. Moody's substitute, with Carolin Bab- cock of Los Angeles filling in for Miss Marble. e One Has Right as Powerful as :" Other’s Left, Avers Ringman Hit Hard by Both.

GERMAN ‘NATIONAL’ HORSE Wotan Is So Designated by Hitler After Win in Italy. BERLIN (#).—Germany has her “na- tional” horse, appropriately called Wotan, a 13-year-old gray gelding, which won the Italian Coppa Mussolini for the German team. Ridden by Capt. S8ahla, Wotan went over the whole course twice without a single fault, and was thereupon pro- nounced -the best German horse.

McCALLUM, REDDIE NcLEOD'S scheme for an amateur-professional golf match between local pros and simon pures is getting under Freddie has sent out' cards of invitation to all the professionals and assistants at the Washington clubs sounding them out on the proposed match, and has asked Miller B. Stevin- son, veteran Columbia amateur, to un- dertake the job of geiting together an amateur team. The problem among the pros is quite simple. Among the amateurs it will be more difficult, for, while there are & limited number of prcfessionals eligible for the match, there are plenty of ama- teurs available who think they should figure in a contest of this character. However, if Freddie has his way, there will not be any treading on toes or emburrassment about the choice of the amateur team. “It's all in fun,” says Freddie, “and there will not be nny‘lhm%oin the nature of a challenge match about it. It won't make any dif- ference who wins— er amateur or g:gi even though each side will do its to win. But no matter which side wins, no tears will be shed. So there shouldn’t be any trouble getting to- gethcelx; a team for such a friendly match.” Middies Pick Up Three Grid Stars Bpecial Dispatch to The Star.

This is loguudm - & very large number of golfers cannot answer because they are quite unccnscious of what they do with their feet when they are to swat that ball far away. Other matters engage their attention. Now 1t is highly desirable to reach a state where one. knowing that one’s foot action is automatically correct, can forget all about it. But the duffer ought to be careful, to study the action of his pedal ex- tremities. The manner in which he uses them will pretty well gauge the correctness of his pivot and swing.

EVY FLESHMAN of Bladens- burg was hailed today as the “man to beat” for the - metropolitan horseshoe - champlonship in the fifth annual Evening Star tournament to be held late this month. Including his illustrious tutor; Joe Merryman, champion of Maryland, among his victims, Fleshman flipped his way to a sensational triumph last night in the classic McLean invitation tournament in which were gath- ered all the leading performers of the metropolitan area. Notable among these were the metropoli- tan title holder, Clayton C. Hen- son, and the former metro champ, Harry F. Saunders. In the round robin final, Fleshman defeated Henson and Merryman and Wwas to have met Saunders but the iat- ter was called away by the sudden ill- ness of his wife who was removed from the tournament gallery to Providence hospital. The defending champion, Saunders, was & joint favorite witl Henson to win the tournament. Gets Hot in Pinches.

The big Marylander was not accounted a serious foe for the other three finalists, Henson, Saunders and Merryman, but with the heavy pressure on he was at his best. He came from far behind to trim Henson, 50 to 48, the score at one time standing 24 to 11 against him. His battle with Merryman was touch and go nearly all the way but the pupil, at the finish, made his teacher a rueful spectacle by tossing seven ringers in eight shoes to mark up a 55-to-48 de- Saunders a Stretch Runner.
