AP America's Davis Cup stock took a slight drop today as a result of Ellsworth Vines' defeat by Jack Crawford in the Wimbledon singles finals, particularly in view of the likelihood of the United States meeting Australia in the inter-zone finals. Australia, led by Crawford, meets England next week-end in the European zone finals and Is highly favored to sweep on into the inter-zone finals against the United States the following week, with Vines and Crawford meeting again in singles. the American camp was far from discouraged at Crawfords five-set victory today. No less an authority than Helen Wills Moody predicted here that Crawford would win today on the grounds that Vines has not yet reached the peak of his form.

Vines is taking a holiday over the week-end and is expected here Tuesday. II 11 BIBLI0THEQUE RATIONALE FAR 1 5 Finest Library the World.

ThC 13-YEAR-OLD HERCULES Charles Highlield, ot Explanation of Preceding Australian Proves to Have More Stamina in Two Hours of Bitter Play Calif ornian Nets Deciding Point British Regain Crown After Seven Year Reign of French and Americans Wimbledon, Enland. July 7. AP) Jack Crawlord, brilliant young Australian, battered his way to the top of the men's tennis world today with a terrific five set victory over Ellsworth Vines defending champion from the United 'States in a Wimbledon final that produced some of the greatest tennis in the history of the world famous nament.

Before packed stands so tense with excitement that gasps alone broke the stillness the amazing youngster from Down Under fought his towering American rival through two bitter hours before he triumphed, 4-6, 11-9, 6-2, 2-6, 6-1 and brought back to Australia the crown neither the Island Dominion nor any other part of the British kingdom has been able to win since the days of the Great Anzacs, A. F. Wilding, Norman Brookes, and Gerald Patterson. Vines Weakens. The issue was in doubt until the very last second when Vines to the point of exhaustion, drove imo the net the match point that lifted Crawford to the throne seat of tennis and set the stage tor future battles that should rank with the greatest rivalries in tennis hts-torv.

With Australia favored to beat England and play the United States for the right to challenge Prance for the Davis Cup, Crawford and Vinos seem certain to renew their feud In two weeks with the International trophy itself at stake, since the seven years reign of the French now appears to be over. Seven times In the past year, the lankv Vines, until today the uncrowned king of the singles world had met the young Australian who is almost his equal in size, and five times Vines had wen. But today and the situation may easily be reversed the next time there was no question at the end of Crawford's supremacy. He took the most terrific assault the cannon balling Vines is capable of, weathered the onslaught, and then came back gamely, brilliantly, in the final set to wear the defend- ir rhnmninn rinwn tf tt TJOint Where he was able to break through his service at love ior me imai nu deciding game. All ihrniisrh the first three Sets.

as the only sound about the famed center court was ine inxxa oi van on racquets, the gasps of the crowd na ttar nr the other faltered momentarily. Then blazed up again with some super piay. vines wnm-u to have the match well In hand though he lost both the second and third sets. Vines' cannonball service boomed over the net, unreturnable at times, and his five forehand drives to the corners left Crawford helpless in the face of such power. There was little volleying and both were content to hold to their backlines as the American ran out the game 6-4 after breaking through Crowfords second service.

The Australian shook his head in bewilderment as Vines service flashed past him in the second set while he had to battle with every ounce of his guile and speed to hold his own delivery. Crawlord held on desperatelv and barely escaped losing the eleventh game, his service, where Vines had him 15-40. but the Australian's steadiness and courage carried him through. The break came in the 19th game when the sting started to fade from the American's service. A double-fault on the deciding point cost Vines his service.

Crawford turned on all his power, followed his own service to the net, and forced Vines to drive weakly into the barriers for the final point that gave him the set 11-9 and evened the match.

For the tenth successive year, the golfing shotmakers from the United States dominated the British open golf championship finals today over St. Andrews' classic terrain but whether the title honors go to Craig Wood, the powerful blond from New Jersey, or to dark, slender Densmore Shute. the Philadelphia stylist, will not be known until they play off their tie at 36 holes tomorrow. Crashing through in one of the fiercest, mast exciting battles ever waged for this ancient championship, while favorites were shot down right and left by St.

Andrews famous hazards. Wood and Shute finished in a deadlock at 292 strokes each for the 72 holes of championship conflict. Wood's dazzling 68 on his third round this morning was his decisive wuusi. ine oest score of the entire day, and his tally showed rounds of 77-72-68-75. Shute had four 73 in a row, even par on every round, for one of the most consistent exhibitions ever witnessed.

Last Putt Tells Story. Like the Ryder Cup matches, S' ftttfi last player, who, as at Southnnrt. was Syd Easterbrook "Svd the Saviour" they called him after he beat Shute on the home green in the deciding match of the international team series. But the deliberate, good-looking west countryman from Bristol failed ike a dozen others todav, to come through in the stretch drive. His final putt failed to drop and instead of a three-cornered plavoff, two young Americans with contrasting games and personalitv will wage the first playoff since Jock Hutchison whipped Roger Wethered in the 1921 open.

Easterbrook, with whom the last homebred hopes died after Henrv Cotton and then Abe Mitchell had faltered badly in the last round, Ue for third place with two more Americans Gene Sarazen. who saw his title fly away with a disastrous eight on the fourteenth hole jinx hole of the tournament and Leo Diegel, who missed a three-foot putt on the last green. All three finished a stroke behind Shute and Wood with 293. Two cavernous bunkers, one at the Eden No. 11 hole on his second round and the other at "Hell Bunker on No.

14 on his final round, cost Sarazen a golden opportunity to repeat his 1932 victory. In each the American took three wallop, with his niblick. Hagen Fades Out. one of the closest of all finishes for the championship, no less than 14 players, including eizht Americans, wound up within five strokes of each other but the carnage was frightful amons thP favor. iteson the last round.

The American Ryder Cup captain, who had a 68 on his first round and set the pae for two days, but who began to fade on his third round and went to pieces with an 82 on his last round for a total of 301. Of the five players who were tied at the end of 54 holes this morningHenry Cotton. Abe MUchell Easterbrook. Joe Kirkwood and Leo Diegel only two, Easterbrook and Diegel, were still In the fight when the finishing holes were reached. Diegel wasted chances with 77 Mitchell took 79 and Kirkwood 81.

Easterbrook's last round was 77 Diegel's final round was a heart-breaker, as his eccentric golf mixed fives with brilliant threes, climaxed by the failure to sink a tiny putt on the home green. Diegel's contortionist putting known as "Diegel-tng' will lose many imitators now for it failed him on a ridiculously easy shot. Two of the day's best rounds were shot by Olin Dutra. the big Cahforrtian. 70-72, but he had too pig a deficit to overcome and finished with 294.

fAP.) In a startling upset, Mary Reynolds today defeated Spencer McElwyn in the annual renewal of the $11,500 championship stallion stake for three-year-old trotters at the North Randall Grand Circuit meet. The bay filly, owned by W. N. Reynolds of Winston-Salem, N. and driven by the veteran Ben White, won in straight heats without being extended.

Spencer McElwyn, the favorite, won the Matron Stake last Saturday in which Mary Reynolds finished only 4, 4, 3, and is a two to one choice to win the $50,000 Ham-bletonian Stake at Goshen, N. next month. He was sent away on a bad break In the first heat and his driver, Marvin Chids, did not persevere with him. In the second heat, however Spencer McElwyn had the best of the start, but when he came to the home stretch, the bay colt sagged and finished fourth. There was little backing for Mary Reynolds, who sold for $5 in auction pools totaling $60, but she had to trot no faster than 2 :05 in both her winning heats.

The first heat, the American Sportsman's purse of $400 for three-vear-old pacers, went four heats before the race was won by Virginia Dare, driven by Al Clark. She paid $81.00 for a $10 result ticket. The P. W. Harvey Memorial Handicap trot, was won in straight heats by Loree Prince, driven by his owner, H.

D. King. Fred Egan won the fourth event with Traveler, another W. N. Reynolds horse which paid $47.25 for a $10 ticket, after dropping the second heat to Sclka Worthy, the favorite.

The final event, a 2:21 pace went to Minor Direct I from the Martin stable in straight heats, paying $78.25 for a $10 result ticket. Holly-rood Sara, a mild favorite was distanced in the first heat. Summaries: American 3-Vear-OW 1'acers; Purse $400. Virginia Dare. br.

tar. Grew Snnhi ntfm Cartoon big blasts. One look at that 50 000 crowd and all the attending fol-de-rols was enough to bring the vital spark back to flame. It was a brief reminder of the amaaing performance he put on in Chicago last fall as he hammered home runs between stirring addresses to Chicago crowds. He mixed philippics with punches and when the curtain rang down he was the entire performance.

It would have been no real show if the Babe had faltered and crashed. It would have been Egypt without the pyramids Hamlet minus Hamlet the feast of Belshaz-zar without the handwriting on the wall. The snme thing applies to Hagen. A 66 to close out the last act of the U. S.

open a 68 to start the British open and get the jump just a matter of eleven under par for two successive championship rounds. And the point is he had his big gallery at North Shore, although he won his last U. S. open fourteen years ago and he had the Prince of Wales and the biggest gallery at St. Andrews THE BASIS OF PRO SPORT.

Professional sport means something more than paying the salaries of a few thousand performers. It means entertainment and recreation and relaxation and thrills for more millions than, you might imagine especially in the English speaking countries of the world where port has been a big part of national life. Follow the crowds and you get the answer. They know their Jack Dempsey and their Bobby Jones their Walter Hagen and their Babe Ruth. They know where most of their thrills come from a mixture of performance and skill of color and da.sh of class and personality and the personality side isn the leas; of the allotment.

The showman is something more than a big help to gate receipts. Adam Smith, whose "Wleath of Nations" is one of the star contributions from the economists, states that "a nation's wealth is measured by its hapDiness." This being so, these showmen ol the game contribute more than their share to the wealth of the world. They give it a good part of its thrills in what, for the greater part, is a rather drab existence so far as the large -majority might be concerned. THE ALL-STAR BALL GAME. The outburst of national interest taken in the recent all-star ball game should supply an important tip.

It is something that baseball has needed in the new competition which the last decade has brought about. Tennis, golf, polo, racing and a flock of rival sports have come along at a tremendous clip. Thev are all working along the lines of crowd psychology. Baseball needs some innovations. The old 154-game schedule is entirely too long where usually 12 of the 16 clubs are out of the running by mid-August wit over six weeks left.

September could be as the month for lnter-league fireworks in the shape of all-star games and inter-league competitions. (Copyright. 1933. NANA.) All- Kent Eight Wins, Enters Semi -Finals Connecticut Crew Has Easy Victory Hun Loses to London After One Dead Heat Henley, July 7. fAP.) The Kent, school Doy crew today rowed into the semi-finals in the Thames Challenge Cup of the Royal Henley Regatta but it, was the Hun School eight, of Princeton, N.

A quarter of a mile from home, the London eight shot out in front bv feet and apparently had the race won when Hun, stepping up the beat, against closed the gap. Through the final 50 yards the two crews "matched stroke for stroke. The rerow was a duplicate of the first race, except that London took command 50 yards from the finish and held its advantage.

What does it matter? At least no vain regrets Follow like ghosts with endless, haunting patter Because I've cashed few bets. Give me a song above life's sullen thunder To shut out sin and pain; What would life be except a mole down under If no one sang again? THE DOUBLE CRASH. At Friday's sunrise on the other side of the Atlantic, Ellsworth Vines was supposed to be the master of Jack Crawford, the Australian, and the British ODen was picked as a hot scramble among Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Leo Diegel, Ed Dudley and Abe Mitchell.

When the mist blew out to sea Densmore Shute, the tall Philadelphia pro, and Craig Wood of Deal, N. were leading the British parade, and Jack Crawford had the measure of Ellsworth Vines in one of the hardest duels that ever featured a Wimbledon court. Crawford has now proved his place by beating Cochet in straight-sets for the French championship and later handing Vines a dose of poison to prove that Australia now must be regarded a formidable contender for the famous Davis Cup. The battle for the British open at St. Andrews was one of the hardest in history.

Hagen gave a great show for three rounds and then time took its toll. Sarazen had the title won a year ago in his hands until six shots in two bunkers and the title passed. The rush of Denny Shute and Craig Wood to the fronr called for both fine golf and well controlled nerves. They hung to the blistering pace from start to finish. They proved their brilliant golf last winter and spring was no part of a fluke as they were among the big money winners of the 1933 campaigntwo home breds who had at last found their places.
