KS, photo. Vandals Defeat Retirement Brightens Hopes of Aussies in Doris Cup Competition By HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent i NEW YORK. Dec. 23. (U.R) Baron Gottfried von Cramm of Ger many, one' of the world's foremost amateur tennis players, is retiring from tournament competition, Don Budge revealed today.

With Von Cramm out of the Davis Cup picture, Budge predicted that Australia again will be the United States' most' formidable rival in the international trophy competition next year. Budge, who made a grand-slam of the Australian, French, English and American amateur titles this year, is in New York preparing for his professional debut against Ellsworth Vines at Madison Square Garden on January 3. "I had a letter from Von Cramm written from Berlin," Budge said. "Gottfried tells me that he is giving up tennis and is going into a bank ing house." SURPRISE TO AMERICANS Big. blond Von Cramm, runner-up to Budge at Wimbledon, and Forest Hills in 1937, was recently released from prison by Nazi authorities.

He had been jailed on a morals charge following his return from an Australian tour. His friends insisted that the political aspects of the arrest were most significant. Von Cramm's retirement came as a surprise in American tennis circles, despite the unfavorable publicity occasioned by his arrest. "With Von Cramm definitely out of the picture," Budge said, "Australia is the logical team to meet the United States in the challenge round for the cup. If Roderich Menzel, who has played for Czechoslovakia ill the past, is drafted by Germany, the Germans will be tough, for they, have another fine player in Henner HenkeL But I rank Australia, the team we beat last year in our first defense of the up since we won it from England, as the most dangerous rival, Decause it has John Bromtyich and because it has the best balanced team." -RATES.

BIGGS TOPS Budge thinks that despite his de sertion of the amateur ranks, the United States still has at least an even chance to keep the cup. He rates Bobby Riggs, who handled the other singles job this year, as the outstanding contender for the No. 1 singles post. "I played with Bobby a few weeks before I came to New York," he said, and I was pleasantly surprised to find how much stronger his game is. Bobby is forcing more now, and I figure he is good for two singles victories.

We ought to be able to pull out one more match in the other three, and in my opinion the United States has at least a 50-50 chance of keeping the cup. Another Kerr Signs SAN DIEGO, Dec. Kerr, former San Diego High School and Post 6 American Legion base ball star, today received a contract from the Midland Club of the West Texas League, for the 1039 playing season.

Pacific, Montgomery Ward, 0. By BOB BLAKE This may be the holiday season but there was no peace at the Oakland Ice Rink last night as the Pacific Club upset league-leading Montgomery Ward, 2 to 0.

Golden State trounced California 4 to 1 in the opener. The gasmen, for a change, played intelligent hockey, outskating the Wards all the way and breaking up plays before they could get started. While atoe "first two periods were hot enou-srto keep any man awake, the boys' really poured the power on in the final minutes to provide the Hollywood finish. TRIED TO BE NICE The gasmen are back In the good graces of the Industrial League again and tried to act like'good little gentlemen. Even Bud Gieger, Pacific defense, Usually a rowdy on the Ice, behaved himself and because he was a good lrtUe boy and let four Montgomery ward boys pummel him, Referee Stevens gave him five minutes in the cooler and handed the same penalty to Pete Dyck.

The Wards, a team that hates to lose, found themselves trailing after the second period when Don Boyle completed a beautiful Backhanded shot to send the puck by Tom Fletcher. WARDS POUR POWER With their undefeated record ticking away with the seconds, the Wards poured the power On to start the fun. Gieger checked two opponents into the board fence after nine minutes of the third period had passed and then found himself a target for punches. Penalties and fights failed to stop the Wards and down the Ice they moved after the puck, every rriah on the offense except Fletcher. From out of the crowd of players in front of the Pacific net came Glenn Anderson, gasman defense.

He streaked down the Ice with Frankie Nicholls in pursuit and Dolly Dalquist, Pacific wing, trailing on the side. The minute Anderson was ready Trojans Defeat Purdue, 35-30 CHICAGO, Dec. suffered its. first defeat of the season last night at the hands of Southern California, a surprise which casts a shadow on Its fiutlook for the Big Ten basketball title.

The depredations of the animals are nowhere as extensive as is claimed and for the present there seems to be no reason to reduce their numbers." FIVE SURVEYS MADE "As a' result of periodically recurring interest In these animals and their activities," the investigator's report reads, "five surveys of the sea lions occurring on the coast of California have been made during the last 10 years by the Division of Fish and Game. "The rookeries and hauling grounds have, been located and counts and estimates have been made to determine the numerical strength of the population during the breeding season, at which time the animals are concentrated on the rookies. "Sea lions are not slaves to habit as are their cousins the fur seals, who return year after year to the same rookery where they were born. The sea lions change their rookery sites from time to time for reasons which are sometimes obscure. SEA LIONS PROTECTED "During the last few years the Chinese market for sea lion trim-ings has practically disappeared and as the present law gives the sea lions complete protection an evidence was seen of systematic hunting at any of the offshore rookies."

THOMAS, CHALMERS ADD Bickerton of California was the outstanding man on the floor offensively. He missed rarely, and when he did, Ivor Thomas and Bob Chalmers were there to follow. Thomas scored 13 points six field free throw while Chalmers, the best man on the court defensively and mentally, collected twelve. Hutchins, the big Bradley pivot, lived up to his panegyrical advance biling. Master of a one-handed flip shot, he sank six buckets and two gift throws to top his squad with 14 points.

"Those speedy forwards and guards sailed right past our big fellows."

The pants provided Coach Wallace Wade with a means of mentally readying his team for the game. I have it on the most impeachable authority that on the day before the game, Wade will take his team on a sightseeing tour.

Not one of the regular tours, with stops at the studios, homes of the stars, and the mountains. But on a tour which will include a dozen shops that handle feminine apparel. A stocking shop, A garter salon. A perfume store. An earring Joint A girdle shop.

PUTS FIGHT IN HEARTS "If you lose, boys," I have not been told Wade will say at each stop, "you can come In here and buy anything your dear little hearts desire." I have a notion that the Dukes will respond magnificently to such ribbing and that when they take the field against U.S.C, their lace, panty banner waving in the breeze, they will look the Trojans in the eye at the kickoff and say; "Okay, you guys.

The Huskies stepped up their pace and were trailing only 1921 at the half during the last 10 years the population has remained at about the same level. This doesn't seem possible.

DUCK STAMP SALES Duck hunting was admittedly much better last season than for many years past and optimistic stories about the increase in birds seems to have done some good for sale of Federal duck stamps showed a substantial jump. There were 52,577 hunters who purchased the 1937-38 series as compared to 44,570 sold last year. The sale in California was exceeded only by Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The increase in sale was general throughout the nation, 783,039 stamps being sold this year as compared to 603,623 last season.

RECORD FOR SALE A This year sets a record for sale since the stamp was first made man. datory in 1934. That year stamp col-lectors swelled the total with their purchases and an encouraging fig ure, tus.uui, was reacnea. Hunting nroved nnnr anil tVi and girls were not so enthusiastic bdoui getting; anem tne next year. They saved their dollar and only 448,204 stamps sold.

Striped bass day today, BUT, who in heavens is going to brave wind, cold and rough water to fish for striped bass onji Christmas Day? At that I'll bet there will be plenty of fishermen out What does a day like Christmas mean to a man that is branded with a mania.

Forgetting bass and looking around among the hotter things that are waiting to be printed, an article on sea lions in the new issue of the California Conservationists comes to attention. It is a nice article but personally I don't believe a word of it and I think there will be thousands of other bass fishermen who will also disbelieve and will back me up with a letter or two when they read the dope. FIGURES DOUBTED I know, and admire greatly, G. H. Clark, Paul Bonnot and S.

Ross Hat-ton of the Bureau of Marine Fisheries, California Division of Fish and Game, but it is impossible to believe the figures they have released as their census of California sea lions. Many striped bass fishermen will agree that the statement that there are only 2020 in all of California's waters seems little low.
