N LOBS b a&g ] BLISTERING censure of the “autocratic. inconsistent and determined to distate” United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion, whose conduct has “transformed a leisurely game into a concentrated ousiness of regaining the Davis Cup, the most destructive award ever placed into amateur competition.” appears in the July e of Sports Illustrated & American Golfer. Entitled “America’s Ailing Sport.” the article seems destined to arcuse wide comment and discussion in view of the broad attack which it levels et the conditions which tennis now is being played in this country. According to the editors of the pub- lication, the questions which are asked were not improvised by the editorial board of Sports Illustrated. but are most devoted followers of the game, VOLLE 7 Dwrm/t. wao never have been players, the su- ther of the article declares the troudle lies in the conditions that brought on the supervision. Stars, including Tilden,” it declares, “have been bigger than the game, just as the men who supervise feel that they are bigger than the game. Certainly big-time tennis, as played today among | amateurs, is a racket. the farce of an | cight-week-expense rule to the ccn- trary notwithstanding and at the top | of tne racket is the Davis Cup, 8 com- petition which proves nothing in so far as the progress of the game in any | country during any given year is con- cerned. 1 "ACTUALLY. what does Davis Cup( competition mean? It means, very specifically, that the country | with one extraordinary singles player and cne good doubles team eXxercises 'a monopoly for as long as the trio holds out * * * Does it mean that in this country the grade of tennis has declined since we lost the cup in 1927, or that England has more and better tennis piavers since it won the Cer- tainly not. It means simply that we & few seant points in front from the , apprehensive lesc the travesty of pres- cannot find two players at the present eeventh round on. Frankie Takes Early Lead. | BLAJR stepped into the lead in the first heat when he draped Dublin- | sky on the business end of a locping | zight hand that backed Harry half way across the ring, but Dublinsky came back in the second session to bounge a right glove off Frankie's head to take a round he already had been | awarded on a foul. Frankie again forged to the front n the third canto with a blistering head attack, but Dublinsky rallied in the fourth round with a solid left hook to Blair's tummy, followed by several smashing blows that reddened the Camden fighter's face considerably. Continuing the see-saw scrap in the fifth round, Blair kept on top of Du- | blinsky to slip in two damaging right paws to Harry's chin and then chased the bewildered Chricagoan around the ring as Dublinsky vainly sought -to counter with a body attack. Frankie maintained the same pace to annex the sixth and seventh rounds. Making a final desperate bid to dis- pose of his aggravating adversary, Du- blinsky brought a right hand from back near the right field fence and planted it firmly on Blair’s jaw for the most telling blow of the battle in the ninth round. Frankie hung on for | & while. however, and shook off the effects of the punch enough to take the final round. ! Decision Unanimous but Close. JUDGES CHARLEY DUNN AND DR. O. U. SINGER and Referee Denny Hughes rendered a unanimous deci- sion. The Star's score sheet showed Blair ahead by 2! points, which should give you some idea of how the fight was waged until the final bell. Lew Raymond, Baltimore welter- weight. was awarded a fourth-round technical knockout over Jumbo Rivi- ero, New Orleans Italian. when Riviero temporarily was blinded by Monsell's solution, barred in the District due to its harmful effect. The solution, which was used to close a cut over Riviero's left eye after the third round, trickled down into his eye and Jumbo was forced to quit. Jumbo, not a particularly brilliant fighter, nevertheless managed to keep Raymond busy until the mishap. Jim Lamar, local colored heavy- weight, fractured the jaw of Battling Mimms of Baltimore, Referee Mugsy Morris wisely halting the fight at the end of the second round when blood virtually poured from Mimms' mouth. Other preliminaries saw Jackie Car- ter of Lancaster and Doug Swetnam, local lightweight, work six rounds to a draw and Harry Jaffra win by decision eover Santos Ugo. ‘The spectators paid $1,528.80 to wit- ness the proceedings.
