BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Bports Writer. IMBLEDON, England, July 27—Barring Aan upset, which the most sanguine Englishman doubted was possible, this is the day when the Davis Cup, emblematic of world ten- nis supremacy will be given back to the United States after a European sojourn of 10 years. The Davis Cup isn't the prettiest trophy in the world—it has all the graceful lines of an old-fashioned washtub—but the United States has wanted it back since Bill Tilden’s Jjoints began to creak and the French- men took it to Paris, only to lose it later to Fred Perry and company. Two Wins Today Likely. ALL the United States had to do today was to win one point in the concluding play of the challenge round matches against England. With the score United States, 2; England, 1, the Americans had two chances to complete their conquest. The chances were that Frankie Parker would outlast England's bril- liant but erratic Charles Hare, but if he failed there remained the Amer- ican and Wimbledon champion, the imperturbable Don Budge, to beat England’s mainstay, Bunny Austin. Austin, on his day, conceivably could lick any amateur in the world except the red-headed Californian. Nobody who has seen Budge in ac- him in five sets. Possibly with that in mind Eng- land's tennis authorities withdrew the big cup from the bank where it has been protected for three years and carted it to Wimbledon, where a husky Scotland Yard operative kept a wary eye on it until the time for the presentation, probably by some member of the royal family. Need Budge to Protect It. AF’I‘m that it's America’s baby. And it should be America's for at least another year—or at least as long as Budge remains an amateur. He and Gene Mako have already signed up for a tour of Australia next Win- ter with all expenses paid and $8 a day for “eating money." Budge honestly doesn't even act as sional. He's having entirely too much fun whaling his amateur rivals, and Wimbledon's applause is something hard to give up. They even cheered wildly yesterday when he broke a racket in making a kill at the net during his and Mako’s doubles vic- tory over C. D. R. Tuckey and Frank Wilde. They won, 6—3, 7—5, 7—9, LTHOUGH both Barney Welsh | and Gil Hunt were beaten in | the early rounds at Seabright yesterday, there is little likeli- A hood of either returning for the Mid- dle Atlantic tournament which starts Saturday at Edgemoor. More probable is the belief that they will hop to the next stop in the Eastern circuit, the Southampton invitation, gins next Monday. After reaching the final round at Newport last week, it was surprising | that Hunt should go down yesterday before Robert Kamrath, who is not | even ranked by the association which governs his home district of Austin, Tex. Hunt bowed 6—2, 7—5. Welsh was beaten by Gardner Mulloy of Miami, seventh ranking player of the South, in three sets, 6—4, 4—6, 6—3. Another local representative got herself in the spotlight, even by los- ing, for Edith Clarke was paired against the Polish star, Jadwiga Jedrzejowska. She took a game from the forelgner at 6—1, 6—0. which be- THER local players—boy, junior and senior—fared better, how- ever. Up at Forest Hills Dooly Mitch- ell, who won the Times’ grand national tournament here last month, got by the first round of the Eastern division of the national event by stopping Bill Toporcer of Rochester, 4—8, 6—1, 6—2, 6—1. Mitchell today plays Paul Mar- tin of Albany, who drew a first-round bye. Billy Jacobs of Baltimore is the only other player from this section entered. Over at Baltimore, Tom Wadden, Washington's boy champion, Harold (Snooks) Titus and Chandler Bros- sard are further along the road to the annual Maryland State boy cham- pionships today as a result of victories yesterday. Although Wadden had to con- tent himself with a default, Brossard won two matches and Titus took one after also get- ting a default. Brossard's two victims were Donald Conner, 6—1, 6—2, and Russell Davis, 6—2, 6—4, while Titus trimmed Don- ald James, 6—1, 6—2, after getting the default from Steuart Shpritz. No junior matches were played be- cause of rain. R the first time in years, no ‘women’s public parks tournament is likely to be held. Only 12 singles entries had been turned into Felix Silva last night and the committee announced it would not start competi- tion without at least 16. Two reasons are blamed for the lack of entries. First, most of the better tennis lassies hereabouts are club members and, second, the women's winner has not been sent to » the national tournament—as have the men. Sara Moore probably would have won anyway for the third straight year. Quarter-finals in the men's doubles were to be reached this afternoon with the playing of four matches. All prom- ised to be unusually keen, with the seeded No. 1 team of Joe Baker and Fred Doyle meeting Ray Stocklinski | and Harry March; the seeded No. 2| team of Allie and Hy Ritzenberg fac- ing Erwin Niemeyer and Art Sim- mons; the seeded No. 3 team of Haity Goldsmith and Bob Bradley meeting Billy Contreras and Hugh Trigg and the seeded No. 4 team of Maurice Goubeau and Melvin Tarpley meet- ing Joe Burns and. Gerald Smith. 'HAT was a clean aweep of five titles local players made in the West Virginia championships over tne week-end to those who may have missed it. Barney Welsh won the men’s singles and shared the doubles title with Paul Kunkel of Cincinnati. Edith Clarke captured the women's singles championship and shared the doubles title with Marge Robinson. And Mrs. Robinson teamed with her husbend, Stan, to win the mixed doubles. Incidentally, Sara Moore was a losing finalist in two events— the women’s and mixed doubles. M (BUD) MARKEY still is after championships. You probably wouldn’t recognize him by the 20 ex- tra pounds he's reported carrying around, but the last report was that he was playing for the championship of Akron, Ohio, his new home town.

Virtually all professional golfers are expected for the eighth annual St. Paul 72-hole medal play open, a notable exception being Gene Sarazen, who won the season’s richest prize in the recent Chicago open. Sarazen will not compete because of the illness of his wife. Leading the field of invading pro- fessionals will be the veteran Harry Cooper of Chicago, who has won the tournament three times and collected more than $8,000 in the brief history of the event. Among the other professionals will be at least six members of the vic- | torious United States Ryder Cup championship team.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, July 27.—Although two qualifying rounds have been played, the scramble for places in the national ama- teur golf championsnip starts in earnest today with 550 simon-pures competing on 28 courses scattered throughout the Nation for the re- maining 153 berths in the title com- petition. ‘The championship will be played over the Alderwood Country Club course, Portland, Oreg., August 23-28. The second of the two early qualify- ing tournaments was held at Canton, Mass,, yesterday. Six golfers, led by Edward P. Martin of Wayland, Mass., qualified in a high wind that rocketed scores well above par. Martin's 74— 76—150 paced a field of 18, smallest to seek New England qualifying hon- ors in the history of the amateur championship. Second Martin Makes Grade. Martin's twin brother, Leo, broke into the group with a 154. Joe Lynch of the Home Club, Blue Hills, a semi- finalist in the national tourney two years ago, scored 153. The six were added to the 14 who qualified at Tacoma, Wash., last Pri- | day. Two Walker Cup players of | 1936, Scotty Campbell and Harry | Givan, were among the Tacoma sur- vivors. Six former champions, in- cluding Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati, last year's winner, are eligible auto- matically. Top entry for today's qualifying play | —64 golfers—was registered at Chi- cago. Freddy Haas, jr, the phenomenal New Orleans youngster and intercol- | legiate champion, tops what appears | to be one of the best competitive fields, at Detroit, where there are 14 entries with six places available.

Hunters Attributin g_i'oo M uch Speed to Birds, Survey Shows BY DILLON GRAHAM, ‘ Associated Press Sports Writer. UNTERS, perhaps a little too anxious to explain why their shots found no target, have | been attributing too much speed to game birds. Government wildlife experts have disclosed the exaggerations. : They said the flying speed of birds | usually had been computed from es- | timates rather than exact measure- ments. i “Guesses have been based on esti- mated distances of bird to gunner, the ‘lead’ necessary to hit the flyer | and the time for the shot to travel.” | said one authority of the Biological | Survey. “Of these estimates only the | velocity of the shot definitely is known.” Vary Like Humans. STOP watches, theodolites, automo- bile speedometers and airplpane in- dicators in recent years have enabled experts to get a better, but still in- exact, idea of bird speed. Tests have shown that speed of species cannot be determined ac- curately, for individual birds vary just like human beings. There might be s War Admiral in the flock that would leave the others standing still. After two birds of a similar type get into the air the heavier bird is the faster. The quicker rise and get- away of the smaller bird give a false | impression of swiftness. Wingspread Slows Bird. STREAMLINENG has an effect on their speed, the same as that of air- | planes and automobiles. May Thatcher Cooke of the Biological Survey cited the mallard and the canvasback as | examples of this, explaining: “Although the weights nearly are the same, the wing sperad of the slow-flying mallard is about 20 per cent greater than that of the swifter canvasback, the latter making up for this smallness by the rapidity of its wingbeats, aided by a reduction of air resistance because of its more stream- lined build.” Here are official calculations of speeds made by individual birds, some over short distances and others for several miles: Brown pelican, 26 mph.; Can- ada goose, 60; brant, 45; mallard, 60; redhead, 42; canvasback, 72; turkey vulture, 21; golden eagle, 120; duck hawk, 180; turkey, 55; bluejay, 20; robin, 30; sparrow, 33.

A matter of about $200 stands between Rippy and the trip.

I just can't afford to take a licking like that I haven't made up my mind.

BY W. R. McCALLUM. NE week from today four pube- lic links stars from Wash- ington will land in San Francisco to prepare for the sixteenth national public links cham- plonship of the United States Golf Association, starting August 9 over tha Harding Memorial course. What will they do? ‘The four are Claude Rippy, public links champion of Washington for the last three years; Andrew Oliveri, a stocky, sturdy lad of Italian extrac- tion; Bobby Burton, a Navy Yard mechanic and frequent qualifier for the national, and James R. Gipe, a Navy employe who will be making his first trip to the big championship. Oliveri Presses Rippy. N THE record, Rippy figures to be the big shot of the local entrants. Runner-up for the national title last year, top man of the Washington public links boys over a lengthv stretch, Rippy figures to be one of the feared competitors in the na- tional tournament. But this year hasn't proven that he is so far in front of Oliveri, a lad who has come along fast over the last two years He licked Oliveri by a single shot in the 72-hole qualifying test witn a score of 284, against 285 by Oliveri. There's nothing very conclusive about a one-shot licking over a 72-hole stretch. But this pair appears to be way out in front of the other two— Burton and Gipe. Rippy and Oliveri p and may go well. But the publ links championship is a tough spot for any clubswinger with title as- pirations. These boys who came urp the hard way, on the public fees courses, are no sissies in action. They go fast from the opening tee shot and the golf probably is very close to that played in the natfonal amateur title tourney, the swanky affair that be staged at Portland, Oreg, starting August 23. Leoffler a Genuine Sport. T'S true that no man who has won the public links also has grabbed the national amateur, and today it means | that it won't happen unless the U. 8. G.

They prove it every day with their scores and their ruggedness Local public links fans will toss & little party for Rippy. Oliveri, Bur- ton and Gipe tomorrow night at East Potomac Park around 8 o'clock. The boys are to be sent to Frisco by S. G. Leoffler, local public links conces= sionnaire, who is digging deep down in his jeans to pay the freight.
