Center Phone 2333 Uncle Sam Starts New Fight for Davis Cup, With Budge as Best Prospect BY PHILIP MARTIN UNCLE SAM is beginning his tenth crusade for the Holy Grail of tennis—the Davis Cup—heartened no little by the fact that Fred Perry, bounding Briton and No 1 internationalist of the last couple of years, won't be back to plague him. Bounding, net-leaping Perry now a money-earning professional, trimmed the Yankee sails in 1935, and mowed down the Australians last year after the Aussies handed the Yankees a setback in their inter-zone clash in Philadelphia. Despite the fact that Perry won't be back, however, the Americans are going to have their hands full winning through to the challenge round with England at Wimbledon. There are two big obstacles in their path—the Australians again, and the Germans. The Aussies, even without Jack Crawford, the perennial star racquet wielder, are expected to be stronger than ever. It is thought that Crawford will retire to nothing more strenuous than coaching great singles players, such as Adrian Quist and Vivian McGrath. Both those youngsters are plenty good and have had the benefit of several seasons of campaigning. Germany, headed by Baron Gottfried Von Cramm and Heiner Henkel, probably is the strongest team in the field. They have been built up steadily in the last four years, and both men are adept singles and doubles players. WHAT have we to offer against such a field of international class? Don Burge, the red-naired freckle-faced Californian, veteran of two Davis Cup clashes is about the best of the crop Then. In line, come Bitsy Grant and Frankie Parker, top-ranking singles players, and Gene Mako, champion doubles partner of Budge. These youngsters have had little experience of international value chiefly because the United States Lawn Tennis Association has refused to take a gamble on them during the last five years or so, choosing to rely on aging veterans who wilted under fire. The boys admittedly lack experience and poise out they do have the tire and dash that go with good tennis. It is possible therefore, that under the coaching of George Lott, the old doubles player who now is a pro they may be whipped into some semblance of a smooth-functioning team before the inter-zone clashes with Japan and Australia at the end of May. Should the Yankees once get by Australia and Germany they will have cleared their highest hurdle toward winning back the cup they troubled to the French team at Germantown Cricket Club Philadelphia back in 1927. England's team was weakened by the loss of Perry Bunny Austin without Perry's inspirational playing can't be counted on for more than one singles contest and it's too much to ask of a newcomer to win two marrials by himself. So it behoves the U.S.L.A. to whip up its strongest possible field to throw against the toe in preliminary skirts, the final round with England will take care of itself.
