What of next year? Well, I am convinced that even the most stand- | pat die-hards must agree that the time has come to try out some new | combination. Regretfully we must let Allison and John Van Ryn pass into glorious memories with other Davis Cup heroes. A decision must be made in regard to Wood.

By the Associated Press. LoN‘DoN, July 31.—As far as Eng- land's cornplacent tennis fans and experts are concerned, America has no reason to feel badly over its de- moralizing 5—0 defeat in the Davis Cup challenge round. The challengers, as the English see| it. put up a stout fight against over- | whelming odds. The rout wac completed yesterday when Bunny Austin beat Donald Budge, 6—2, 6—4, 6—8, 7—5, and Fred Perry trimmed Wilmer Allison, 4—6, 6—4, T—5 6—3. “It wonld nct make a particle of difference if they used Sidney Wood | instead of Wilmer Allison in the sin- gles or brought over another whole | team,” said E. J Sampson, tennis au- thority of the Manchester Guardian. “As lonz as England has Fred Perry and Bunny Austin to play four out of five matches, America nor any other country has a chance of win- ning.” The English still have high ad-| miration for Allison and John Van Ryn and go intc ecstacies over Donal Budge’s backhand stroking when it is working, but they cannot envisage any danger from the American ma- terial so far unveiled. “It was well, though,” reflected Bruce Harris of the Standard, “that Austin reversed the result over Budge. It might have been bad for us next year if the redhead had gone home knowing he twice had beaten one of our Davis Cuppers. Sees Parker on Team. ARRIS, like most British fans, ex- pects to see Frankie Parker of Spirng Lake, N. J., paired with Budge in the singles and Gene Mako of | California with Budge in the doubles | the next time the Americans come to | Europe. Members of the American colony expressed disappointment over the failure of the Americans to win a single match, but most of them re- fused to blame the debacle on the make-up of the team. A few felt strongly that Wood should have been named in the singles. Bill Tilden, the professional and veteran of many a Davis Cup war, was particularly outspoken on this point. Bill Henry, veteran tennis expert of the Los Angeles Times, said: “I guess we did about as well as could be expected. Wear (Joseph W. Wear, non-playing captain of the | American team) did about as well as, could be expected. Wear would have been more than a master mind if he could have found a pair to beat Perry and Austin.” | | | | | | | e REVENUE TEAMS AHEAD.

Gets 28 Ringers In Row for Mark By the Associated Press. ROCHESTER. N. Y., July 31— Charles Graves, 26-year-old sign painter, who has been pitch- ing horseshoes for only five years, admits he found it easier to break a world's record for consecutive ringers than it was to tell how he did it. “I just got‘hot, that's all,” said Graves, trying to tell how he pitched 28 consecutive ringers in the Monroe County championship tournament to beat the world’s record of 26 made in competitive play. The dark-haired youth pitches the quarters shoe. Although he conforms regulation turn and three- to ac- cepted style in pitching, Graves tosses his shoe a little higher and grips his shoe a little further back than most pitchers. He signals his pitch with a slight kick, often wearing out the toe of his rubber-soled shoes in a couple of days. L2 HORSESHOE AGES BATTLE TONIGHT in Invitation Event at Big Carnival.

For permanent possession it must be won three times. Of prime interest is the prospective meeting of Henson and Frye, who de- throned Boo as metropolitan cham- pion two nights ago. In 2 tune-up match before the metropolitan final, Henson averaged 80 per cent ringers for four games.
