Harry Heflner and David Johnsen, earned the right to meet the Crimson and Tiger alumni, Bill Breese and Hugh Lynch, when they defeated Harry March and Allie Rit- genberg yvesterday after Breese and Lynch had entered the final round by trimming Alan Blade and Stan McCaskey. Today's encounter—the winner of which will be recognized as the No.1 doubles team of the territory em- cing the District, Maryland, Vir- ginia and West Virginia—will start &t 3 o'clock. Both teams won their semi-final matches by almost identical scores, Breese and Lynch stopping Blade and McCaskey, 64, 8—6, Heffner and Johnsen won from March &nd Ritzenberg, 6—3, 6-—4, 9—7. But it was the latter match tracted most attention, bringing to- gether as it did the city's two fore- most Junior Davis Cup doubles teams, Cup Committee Vindicated.

Reffner quickly tied it up at 3—3 and went ahead when he and Johnsen broke Ritzenberg's service in the next game. Behind, 14, in the eighth game, Johnsen pulled it out of the fire for a 5—3 lead. and after March had won on his own service, Heffner held his for set. The real battle came in the last #et, which found March and Ritzen- berg unable to hold leads of 3—1 and 5—3 After the ultimate winners tied at 5--5 by breaking Ritzenberg's gervice and winning on HefIner's, they muffed their first chance to end the match at 7—6 and 40—15.

Following today's title doubles match, Charley Channing will play Ralph (Buddy) Adair in a special singles match, the winner to get the fifth place on Washington's Junior Davis Cup squad which will play Philadelphia’s on July 28. At present, Channing is rated No. 5, but Adair, currently ranked sixth, can force an exchange of places by winning. Hare (Continued From Sixth Page.) ard), when Budge and Gene Mako tackle C. R. D, Tuckey and F. H. D. Wilde in the doubles. The Americans are favored to win this and thus go into the final day with a 2-1 lead. Just what will happen then nobody's even trying to guess after today. Hare's service probably will give Parker trouble, but the Mil- waukee youth should be able to take advantage of Budge's belated dis- covery that well-placed lobs would break up the Briton's rushes to the net. If Parker beats Hare, then the final match between Budge and Austin will essume the status of a friendly ex- hibition.

Any one who had prophesied that first the French and then the British were going to hold onto the cup for by indignant members of the U. S. L. T.

It was a big year. Tun- SN e O YOU don‘t think a golf ball| can be hit with a 400-yard | carry? Or that 20-foot putts can be holed one after the other, or that iron shots can be dropped in | clusters around a hole 160 vards away? | It’'s all true. They can, but not by any human agency. A golf machine that will hit a ball 400 yards and more in the air; that will hole a dozen 20-footers in & row, and that will pitch a ball time after time within puting distance of the cup from away back there, will ap- pear at five local courses today, at two more golf spots tomorrow and at & local course on Tuesday. It's the amazing Acushnet caravan, which wowed the Winter tourists on the Florida courses last Winter and which has been traveling around the country this Summer proving what every one knew all along— that a machine can do this golf thing better than a man. A driver, whirling through the air at dizzy speed, meets a golf ball and knocks it almost out of sight, high in the air. An iron club, whirling at slower speed, pitches ball after ball with uncanny accuracy right up against the pin, and a putter, geared to the right swing, holes putt after putt. It's all part of the show to appear today at Indian Spring at 9:30; at Manor at 1 p.m.; at ‘Woodmont at 4, at Columbia at 6 and at Rock Creek at 7:15. Jimmy Thomson can maul & golf ball farther than any man in the world, but even husky Jimmy can't do the thing® the machine can do. Spalding has its links caravan, made up of Horton Smith, Harry Cooper, Lawson Little and Jimmy Thomson. ‘Wilson has its human robots in Sara- zen, Guldahl and Shute; MacGregor has Didrikson and Armour, and Dun- lop has Snead and Wood. But none of ’em has the accuracy and power of the machine. It's quite a show. EVEN local lads will start Tuesday at the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country Club in a 36-hole test that will qualify six entrants from a fleld of 21 for the national amateur championship at Portland, Oreg., next month. Their undisputed class should enable three or more of the seven Washington boys to qual- ity for the title tourney 3,000 miles away. And then what, if they do qun]i{y? It's doubtful if more than one of the boys will make the trip, which again raises the question: “Is it worth, while to play the national represent the United States in Wide World Photo. championship so far from the popu- lation center of the country?” Of course it is quite an honoe % t qualify for the national tion immediately sets a guy up among the first 170-odd amateurs in the land, but when it costs around $500 to make the trip, and it takes three weeks to do it right, what's the good of it> Gene Pittman of Congres- sional sounded the answer to the question the local lads are asking themselves when he said: . “That's an awful long way to %o to take a licking, when you can get licked right here in your own back yard.” What will qualify at Five Farms?

There are 21 gents in the tourney, will not finish. And of the 16 prob- able finishers, not more than three or four will erack 160 for the dou- ble circuit. Levi Yoder and Billy Shea should qualify and Ralph Quin- ter and Martin McCarthy are possi- bilities. But will they go to Port- land if they do qualify? LL the shooting about John Mon- tague or La Verne Moore, or what- ever the guy's name is, leaves Wifly Cox cold. “He's & darned good guy,” says Wiff and let's it go at that. “And he can play a good game of golf, too.” “How g00d?” we asked Wil- fred. “Oh, good enough to hold his own in almost any com- pany. “But don't let ‘any one kid you that Montague is a world-beater or that he'd win the amateur champion- ship with one hand tied behind his back: or that he'd lick the better pros at their own racket. John Mon- tague is a powerful man who hits the bail a very long way. He plays a good all-around game of golf, but he wouldn't win the open champion- ship or any other big tournament.” So that's that, from a guy who knows him and has played with him. And also a spade caller. OU can talk about great golf matches, where par is busted, and Wwhere the only uncertainty is the length of the putt for a birdie. But when it comes #o thrills give us a match between high-handicap golfers; duffers, if you will. Such a match was that one at Columbia last week, in which Mrs. Hugh MacKenzie gave Stokes Sam- mons a stroke a hole and finished all even, canning a four-foot putt on the eighteenth green for a half. Those two players committed every golfing sin known to the game, and they also made some shots that would have done credit to a national champion. They jumped bunkers, they blithely leaped ditches; they missed chip shots and they topped iron shots. But for sheer intensity of purpose and will to win, no match ever has been more interesting to watch. They'll repeat it in a fort- might, and- it will be worth watching. ppeared from | but probably five of them | v 24 —When the | the | | | i | licking Tilden, | ican | about next year. ney beat Dempsey at Chicago for the second time and people argued about “long count.” The Yankees won 110 games, the pennant and the world series.

The team breezed through to the challenge round the next year, but the French made their intentions about the cup’s retention pretty definite by John F. Hennessey and Frank Hunter.

He said he plaved his best when his hands ‘felt-thin’ He simply was trying to explain muscular feel. And brains or lack of ‘em. don't have much to do with muscular co-ordina- tion. A thinking game?

I, July 24 (#).—The combined British net forces of Oxford and Cambridge Universities today went into a 7-5 lead over the Harvard-Yale tennis stars representing the United States in the seventh internationa university lawn tennis tournament. Nine matches tomorrow will eon- clude the series which started yester day. Led by their captain, J. D. Andersor the British team gained decisions 1t four of tod six matches. CHINESE LIKE BASE BALL Although the Japanese and Chine: ¢ are thinking more about boundaric than base ball bats, the latter ton: time out to enter the Internation: Base Ball Congress the other day States was handed a 5—0 defeat, made possible by the victory of Hughes and Charles Tuckey in the doubles. It was England's first dou- bles victory in a challenge round since 1907. For the second time since America lost the cup the team failed to get to the challenge round last year. The Australians beat America in the North American zone finals, 3—2. Budge and Allison played in the singles, and great was the outcry when Allison dropped both his matches. Bitsy Grant had played against Mex- ico in North American zone matches and the South thought he should have been in there against the Aus- sles. Since the Davis Cup was first put into play in 1900 by Dwight F. Davis, later Secretary of War under Presi- dent Coolidge, the United States has won the cup 11 times. England has nine cup victories, Australia seven and France six. The cup is a closed corporation for these four nations. No other country has ever produced a Davis Cup winner.
