i 2D Dunlap Is a Real Candidate for the Walker Cup Team Proves Mettle Winning Qualifying Medal in Played in French Mixed Doubles, Final U. S. Combats Brazil Today in Davis Cup Tennis at West Side Metropolitan Tourney NEW i'OriK THURSDAY, UK a 9, lo2 By GEORGE t'l'RRIE In the presence of Sebastaio Sampaio, Consul-General of Brazil, and Bernon S. Prentice, chairman of the American Davis Cup Committee, Louis J. Carruthers, president of the U.

S. L. T. and divers other dignitaries, the draw for the Brazil vs. America Davis Cup tie was made at the Racquet and Tennis Club yesterday afternoon out of a big silver bowl and with the solemnity of a plenipotentiary session of the League of Nations.

Now, the draw doesn't mean anything, anyhow, seeing If Wo Kv I 1- I By RALPH TKOST It becomes increasingly difficult to understand how the States Golf Association could possibly exclude little, sandy-haired George Dunlap from the Walker Cup team. "The U. S. G. A.

has not made its pleasure known. It is well within the realm of possibility that the twice winner of the last two intercollegiate championships and victor in the Long Island amateur is on the unpublished list of the golf governing body. It should be he's a great little competitor. Yesterday on the dipping, twisting and turning course of the Plainfield Country Club, the Metropolitan amateur championship got under way. When to playing this very afternoon on-the-Hudson yesterday and arrived shortly before 1 o'clock, or about half an hour after a third of the field had completed the first round and many were started on the second lap.

McCarthy, in borrowed shoes, got off the tee after one o'clock. Within half an hour he and his partner had slipped through enough threesomes to be out in front of all the second round players. the 36-hole qualifying test was fin ished Dunlap was as completely the medal play master as Bob Jones in the national champion- ships. Piaving over a strange course in a cold, gusty wind, Dunlay reeled an excellent 74. In the after- noon, in sltehtly improved conditions, he clipped two strokes from par and with a 36-hole total of 144 led the next nearest man, Marie Stuart, a Brooklynite.

by six shots. The rest of the field was strung far along behind him. There was a 22-stroke gap between his medal winning total and the high-water mark for qualifying. GETS BETTER AS HE GOES ALONG Seemingly the more play he gets the better he goes. He doesn't ap-.

pear to tire, which is a bit, unusual for a 130-pounder of Dunlap's build, who so obviously puts everything he's got back of his shots. He's not a long hitter among the giants of 1 the game. He'll never be as long as he plays the shots with a very slight cut. That method cuts down distance, particularly when he plays on a 6800 course like Timber Point. While a bit too young, too nervous and of energy to be classed with the late Walter Travis, Dunlap has Betty Nuthall, English girl tennis star, and F.

J. Perry, playing against Helen Wills Moody and Sidney Wood In the final set of the' mixed doubles championships at Aut euil, defeated them, 64, 62. Left to right, F. J. Perry, Miss Betty Nuthall, Helen Wills Moody and Sidney Wood hotographed after the match.

fcp Hughes' Badgp for Women at Aqueduct Is A'oir $2 Jurado Arrives For Golf Tour some of his characteristics. Dunlap's nearest approach to the "Old Man" is in his ability to keep from wast- lng shots a highly important factor In golf. He is a good judge of his own capabilities. He knows his He doesn't often try the tible, unless it be like that incident at Garden City when he played a 160-yard Iron shot with a right-handed club. That occurred tn match play with Tommy Tailer.

'But in the medal play grind, and usually in match play too, Dunlap plays with the course and not -against it. And he's a sound putter. Three holes at Plainfield yesterday kept Dunlap from crashing under the 140 mark. They were the last three holes the course. Dunlap took 30 strokes yesterday on these last three--an average of Par for the three is 26 and one mli of those holes is a birdie possibility.

He didn't waste shots. that the boys must get down at Forest Hills, where Ricardo Per- nambuco will encounter Frank Shields and Nelson Cruz will come gallantly and a little gaily to grief before Wilmer Allison. So one's attention turned to this debatable matter of whether Ellsworth Vines will be over-tennised bv the time big cup play abroad arrives, as suggested by Henri Cochet. And you can take it from Frank Shields, from Wilmer Allison and from John Van Ryn, not to mention Mr. Prentice elf, that Ellsworth won't be over-tennissed.

VINES NEEDS A LOT OF TENNIS "I think very highly of what Corhet has to say about training," said Mr. Prentice, "because anything Cochet says about tennis carries the authority of the results he has accomplished. But we have had no set plan. "As for Vines, that young man needs a lot of tennis." Shields nodded. Incidentally, Frank, one discovered.

hasn't stopped growing, for all that he is now a married man and "Our trouble won't be getting over-tennised this year." he said. "Our main difficulty will be to get enough." And Johnny Van Ryn volunteered the information that the whole squad hoped to play Wimbledon, news, which will certainly warm the cockles of the heart of the Old Master, William T. Tilden 2d. Bills notion, the exact opposite of Cochet's, is that the proper way to train Davis Cup players is to put a Simon Legree in charge of them and make them sweat. ALLISON SAYS VINES NEEDS PLENTY OF WORK "We'll land the day Wimbledon opens," said John.

"Maybe they'll not schedule our first round matches until the next day." "Aha," cried one, "and so you think you'll be going into action practically right off the boat?" "Well," conceded John, "my legs always are a bit wobbly the first couple of days ashoie but what can a fellow do?" He tried to shy away from the Herman Wants to Bust One Against Brooklyn Dodgers Continued From Tage 26 there was one Danny Taylor. The Cubs brought him back from Memphis." The Reds were stepping up to the nets, socking three on the nose, and relinquishing their place to a comrade-in-arms. Herman grew restless as he sat watching the punch parade. "This wrist of mine now," the Babe changed the subject again, the ruling passion still strong. "It's stopped my hitting.

I felt it In my shoulder first and then the pain worked down my arm. I was shut out a couple of games before I ran into Suhr. but I was going good triples and doubles." "Do you mtcs not being able to shoot at that right field chicken wire in "Not as long as I get my hits that win for the Reds." the slender slug ger replied. "I not srrictlv a home run hitter. One year I got 35.

I like the singles all right." TWO BIG INNINGS RUIN IIOWLEYITES All the Babe could crack in the ball game with the Giants was one hit In four trips to the rubber. But it was a mighty clout and none of the other Reds could do very much better off the knuckle ball pitching of the fat Freddy Fitzsimmons, who spins around in the box on his meaty axis and hides the ball before he throws it. The hit of Herman carried nearly to the bull pen theory that Americans get over, tennised before their important Davis Cup matches, but finally said he didn't think so. "The ball is different and even the air is different," he said. "But works both ways.

And foreigners have done pretty well in America upon occasion, Allison, one gathered, gets a little seasick, but the Dunlnp ball has no terrors for him. He allowed he could stand good work outs ail the time. And as for Vines "That boy wcrk plenty." said Wilmer, who ousht to know, steing that he Ellsworth three times out of four last Spring. 0 FIRST CI'P TENNIS AT WEST SIDE SINCE 1923 As for the Brazilians, who are to have the honor of bringing Davla Cup tennis back to Forest Hills nftr a hiatus begun in 1923, they took the draw ceremony in the rpirit of tourists. Most of them were busy getting the association's yearbook autographed by the American players.

It was plain to be seen they cherished no Illusions that they might put out the United Slates. And their notions of training ar strictly Cochct-ized, 1. "take It easy." The moment arrived to nominate the Brazilian doubles team. "Iva Simonl and Carlo Aranha, Ignacio Nngucira, the captain. Eyebrows Jumped up under hair slicked down in the sedate parted-in-the-middle Racquet and Tennis Club manner.

For truly, Carlo Aranha was nowhere to be seen. "Oh," explained Captain Noguiera, "he's coming in today on the Southern Cross." Friday Carlo Aranha will have to play doubles on what John Van Ryn calls "wobbly sealegs." There is a Spartan fortitude and a spirit of adventure about these Brazilians you have to like. And they are frank, and more astonishing still, politely modest. "What paper will have the news about us?" said Pernambuco. He was pretty surprised to learn they all would.

In right field on the wing and was good for a triple. Ernie Lombardi got three hits and Gink Hendrirk a pair, all singles. But the re.t of the Reds were practically handcuffed. Not so the Giants. Thcv knocked out Eppa nixey in a big third Inning and treated Larry Benton nearly as meanly tn the fourth.

Bennie Frey stopped the maw-acre of the pitchers too late. Bv then the Giants had nine Critz, Fullis, Hogan and Jackson hitting freely. The Reds' defense blew apart too. By that 92 triumph the Giants went up another notch Into sixth position, past the skidding Cincin-natians and are only six and a half games out of first place. That Isn't so much in the kind of a dog fight the National League is staging this early Summer.

Lincoln Faculty-Wins Tennis Match' The Lincoln Hish School varsity and faculty tennis teams engaged in their anni'al clash at the- Dro-garis courts yesterday, fhe teachers gaining a close verdict, 4 to 3. The "profs" took three of the four singles matches. Dr. Gabriel R.

He ran into trouble there In the morning and also in the afternoon, but showed an Improvement on the second lap. Should he have to play them again in match play, it's a lead-pipe cinch that little George Dunlap will continue improving: And it should be pointed out that he didn't go more than a stroke over par on anv hole. A real Walker Cup pliyer, George Dunlap. Yes, and a likely member of the team. McCarthy finishes "19 strokes behind The other very Walker Cup player present in the list at Plainfield yesterday was Maurice McCarthy Jr.

Maurice was out-scored by a matter of 19 strokes but he beat Dunlap by plenty in the matter of time. Maurice McCarthy drove down from Hastlngs- At half past three he had his first round completed. A few minutes were taken for eating and he was off again on his second tour of the hills. Little wonder he was trimmed by 19 strokes. His was a battle not against par or an opponent but against time.

Evidently one of the great difficulties amateur golfers encounter Is stopping the loss of strokes. Why, even so competent a competitor as the former Irish amateur champion, Capt. E. P. Carter, was a one-hole victim.

Up to the 201-yard 15th he was in a fine position for qualifying and not so terribly far behind the leader, i 15TH PROVES JINX TO CAPT. CARTER This 15th is a mean hole. Along its 201 yards stretches an out of bounds on the slice side. In front of the green and bending around with the curve of the green Is a' water course. It's a double hole and what with the wind, a real tester.

Carter, tried to pull a No. 1 iron shot on to the green. He missed. He tried again. That also missed.

Out of bounds both times. Then he resorted to a stronger club, a spoon and pulled that shot into the ditch. Forced to drop out of the ditch and play eight from the side. Carter was indeed fortunate in getting a 9, but that was six strokes over par. With a six on the hole, Carter would have qualified.

pnzes. There are no heavy expenses sucn as prevail at national championships what with policing, course reconstruction, extensive preparations for contestants and the like. Why visiting M. G. A.

members should have to pay to see their fel low members play is a bit obscure. Were there a rush to see the tournaments such as inflict heavy pun- lsnment on the courses and club. houses where the national amateur championships are held, one could understand the charge for entrance. If It served for nothing else It did discourage the crowds. But there were no crowds at Plainfield.

There never have been anv real big galleries for Metropolitan championships. The reason for making charge is, therefore, a bit obscure aside from the very evident fact it is intended to obtain money. 70-vard dash Won by Damupf; Heeht second: Sankln. third. 50-yard dash Won by Goldberg; semnd: Stern, third Obstacle race Won by Rosenberg: Tanner, second.

Gate Fee Discouraged Crowd A new note was struck at Plain-, ered by the entrance fees which are field vesterday. A gate charge was per man There are no money Off the Handle What the Big; Leaguers Are Doing and Saying By HAROLD C. BURR Reds Like Yanks for Flag There are a number of former American League ball players on the Reds, like Leo Duroches. Harvev Hendrick, Owen Carroll and Estell Crabtree. and when there's gossip in the dugout the subject of the Yankees often comes up.

The Bronx bombers are not to be overlooked in any baseball conversation. As usual, tog, it's Durocher who is the spokesman. "The Yanks in a gallop." predicts the Springfield pepper pot. "That team can go out and get the runs, a dozen if they need 'em. And don't think It's only the big bears, Ruth and Gehrig, who frighten the pitchers.

Lazzeri's a great hitter when he's healthy. So are Dickey and Combs. "The A's are not the same. I could see that the exhibition game they played us Monday. Why, it just stand to reason Grove and Earnshaw can't keep on being as good as thpy were last season.

Even if they are, I can't see how Connie's going to win again with just the two hurlers. Yep, it looks like a Yankee year. Tumbril Rumbles for Lew The story has come East by the underground that unless the White Sox pick up by the Fourth of July Manager Lew Fonseca is due to lose his official head. Howley Misses McGraw Dan Howley is a good Terry booster. Next to his own Chick Hafey the field boss of the Reds looks upon Memphis Bill as the best player in the National League.

But this visit to the Polo Grounds has Dan sadly missing Jawn McGraw in his throne chair across in the Giant dugout. I hope Bill makes such a good manager that he beats evpry team in the league but the Reds," says uwi. uul a nuns viic uiu rviau. xi; was to baseball what Knute Rockne was to football. He did a lot for the game, and somehow I can't get accustomed to the Giants without him." Hafey on High The Reds are loudly singing the praises of the way Hafey plays the left-field embankment at Redland Field.

Chick should have been strange going uphill after fly balls like that, but he takes the bank as smoothly as If he was born under its shadow. 'Old Man' Good to Pipp And up bobs Wallie Pipp with a personal reminiscence about Mc-Graw's fatherliness to old ball players. "When I lost out with the Yanks," says Wallie, all the way from Grand RaDids. where he's runnine a nool parlor into a bankroll, I sent a-wire to McGraw, asking him if he knew of a job any place for a first baseman. Before night he was burning up the long-distance telephone wires to Cincinnati, and I caught on with the Reds.

"And don't forget I was an Ameri can League player. I'd been doing my best to beat the Giants in three World Series. I was identified with the rival Yanks. But Mac didn't think of that. I was just a ball player out of work.

I guess, he did ride his players and call 'em names. But he was good to 'em when they grew old." Old Sweet Song The Reds may not be winning so many ball games, but the club is one of the money makers of the National League again. Cincinnati players report big crowds along the American Rhine. "We've played to more people already than we did the whole of last season," says Manager Howley, giving out some round figures. "Not a Sundav crowd has been under 18.000.

He is a Mr. Bowser, who operates the Bowser mat loop. Mr. Londos and Herr Shikat are Mr. Curley's champions.

Mr. Lewis wears the purple robes for Mr. Bowser. In the interests of charity and mutual commercial demands the two loops have joined for what might be called a sort of world series tonight. Sinister Note 'TWERE is only one sinister note 1 in all the excitement over the match.

A strong undercurrent of rumor hath it that the boys are "leveling" tonight. That Is, they are going to let go with everything thrv have in dead earnest. Just as if i i urn uiiuiiun in mao contests, wnicn Mr. UUney claims is certainly NOT the case. I trust that is so, of course.

Still, many people who claim authority on the subject assure me there is nothing deadlier than an honest-to-goodness wrestling bout. So what anj I to expect, pray tell?

Here's good news to the fair sex at least those who contemplate visiting the Aqueduct track, which opsns tomorrow and continues for 22 racing days. It's this: That the admission price to the grandstand for ladies is $2. This is a cut of $1.85.

From which one can see that two may now go to the track for just IS cents more than it cost a fair devotee of the sport to attend Belmont Park. There will be no war tax just 12. This is not quite as low for a lady's admission badge as the admission fee of Saratoga. The Spa track for that reason has always been very popular. The charge to the grandstand there is (1.50.

But this cut on the part of Aqueduct is met with hearty approval by racegoers, men as well as women. It's likely that there will be ft cut at Belmont Park in the Fall and at Empire City for the fair patrons.

Joe Jurado, well-known Argentine professional golfer, arrived here yesterday on the Southern Cross ready to compete in an active season on American links. Before the local district could get an adequate glimpse at him, however, he whisked off to Detroit, along with his manager, Robert Harlow, on the first leg of his projected tour throughout tiie States. Jurado will travel in the Middle West, and then in the East, accompanied by Walter Hagen, and will appear in a series of exhibition matches. His first stand will be Ann Arbor. on June 17.

Shortly thereafter he will play at Jackson, and then return for an exhibition in New Jersey. Pour major tournaments are In cluded in Jurado's itinerary. He will make a determined bid for a title in the American, Western and Canadian open championships, and finally in the P. G. A.

Leonard's Skill Too Much for Saviola His greater ring experience availed Benny Leonard last night at the Coney Island Stadium to pull him through a victor on points over Andy Saviola of Bay Ridge in the ten-round feature. Leonard weighed 150s; and Saviola 146H. With a stinging right to the face in the first round, Andy opened a cut over Benny's right eye. At the end of the fourth round Leonard's eye was nearly closed.

Still in spite of that handicap the old master oulboxed his young "opponent round after round. An example of Leonard's superior skill was given in the sixth when his savage lefts and rights to the body had Saviola completely puzzled but the latter plugged along and though hammered in that fashion throughout the rest of the bout was on his feet at the finish. Other results: Paola Villa, Bensonhurst, 139, won the decision over Jimmy McNa-mara, Greenwich Village, 140, In ten rounds; Tony Scarpati, Brooklyn, outpointed Phil McGraw, Detroit, 139; Phil Stark, east side, 127, outpointed Danny Bates, Brooklyn, 130; Benny Rosen, 128'i, east side, knocked out Clarence Koch, east side, 128.

But it was a charge and, to the best of this writer's knowledge, it was the first gate charge ever made for' a Metropolitan amateur championship. There was no way of telling how It worked out. The day, with its raw, blustery, Marchy wind was not the sort to Inveigle people out to stand in the shade and watch golf matches.

By the same token there weren't enough people present to obtain any reaction to the sale of tickets at a Metropolitan championship. It seems that ticket sales and amateur tournaments do not go hand in hand. The championship, through the Metropolitan District Golf Association, is sponsored by the member clubs.
