The one way the United States seems assured of keeping the huge silver bowl for the next several years is to keep red-headed Donald Budge under 'ock and key, enshrouded in the folds of amateurism. Without the triple Wimbledon winner and the hero ot the American cup forces, the U. S. team would be just another squad of players which could not hope to stave off the Australian.

German and English challenges next year. If Budge already hasn't been besieged with offers to turn professional, he may be assured that the same promoters who lured England's Fred Perry from the slmon- pures, will be waiting for him with a contract for $50.000 or more the minute the Manhattan docks in New York next week. Some felt It ironical that Frankie Parker should win the deciding match of the long American quest to regain the trophy donated by Owlght Davis 37 years ago, but that could take any of the glory away from the tall Callfornian who shouldered the-burden of the U. S. attack against Australia In the North American zone finals, Germany in the Inter-zone finals, and England in the challenge round.

The American forces could have been composed of Budge and Gene Mako and fared as well, because besides winning two matches in each elimination. Budge paired with his fellow Californmn to triumph In all of their doubles encounters. After the U. S. team split open- enlng singles matches and took a 2-1 lead in the doubles, the honor of actually wresting the cup from Great Britain fell to Parker yesterday when he defeated young Charley Hare, 6-2.

6-4, 6-2. Then as If to make doubly sure. Budge whipped Henry Wilfred CBunny) Austin. 8-0. 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

DiMaggio, bothered by chronic soreness in his flipper, gets daily attention from the Doc. Club Trainers and Coaches Get Little Credit for Work Dressing Room Doctors Patch Up Stars, While Signal-Stealers Help Sluggers By RICHARD McCANN (NBA Service Sports Writer) Nimble fingers that never throw a baseball and nimble minds that think for others, play most important roles in this diamond industry. The nimble fingers belong to the club trainers, trustees of baseball's millions of dollars worth of livestock.

The nimble minds belong to the coaches who advise the managers, cajole the players, and confound the enemy. A good trainer and a good coach are almost as necessary to a pennant-winning team as a strong-armed pitcher or a lusty-swinging slugger. Indeed, a trainer sometimes Is the pitcher's right arm and the coach is quite often one-hall of the hitter. Take the case of the Detroit Tiger's during their pennant-winning years of 1934-35 For two years they went through without a sore arm. illness, or injury to break up the lineup.

Busses are o. but ball players get tired of playing a ball game and then bouncing some several hundred miles for another game.

Trains, Pullman cars, taxis they are for the bat swingers in the elite. That Is one of the many incentives young ball players have to spur them on. "No more bus rides for me!" That is a common chant among players who are in the "sleeper" leagues. The Senators had a typical bush league time Thursday when they went to Canton. The team left Charleston at 8 a.

m. and the trouble soon started. Things went haywire galore which was the signal for Catcher Frank Scanlon to go to work. He is the team mechanic. For one stretch 'of 20 miles, Frank rode the fender pouring gasoline out of a bottle into the carburetor.

It helped the bus, but not Scanlon. The ride was a lulu and the Senators finally 1LK arrived in Canton at 7:40 p.m.--jus't 35 minutes before game They rushed to the hotel and got into their uniforms all in two rooms. They undressed, dressed, got to the ball park and started the game in those 40 minutes. Needless to say, they were stiff and stuffy after 11 hours of jerky jostling. The boys started the game without even warming up although Barber Joe Roxbury did throw a few balls before facing the Terriers.

Naturally, Canton had all the better of the argument and won, 11-7. It's a tough life, this minor league baseball. But if it were too easy, the incentive to get out of the busses and bushes into the big time would be lessened. But the boys seem to have lots of fun and are usually in good spirit. It is this spirit among minor league ball players that is a firm pillar that helps, hold un the entire baseball structure.

Last season Ralph Hodgin was the only Senator ousted by an umpire. This year Manager Iggy Walters, Jackie Tighe, Ralph Younker and Frank Scanlon have all gotten the umpire's thumb--Tighe twice. One East Side athlete is already worrying about 1938 when two high schools are expected to be in operation. "Why uh, just think. They might not let me see uh, uh, my girl," he stuttered along with some flowery hand waving and knuckle cracking.

Baker Best SIrnal-Stealer Then, too, Hank Grecnberg's tremendous hitting was a feature ot the Tigers' pennant surges, and 'the throngs hailed him. But when Hank held out for a fatter contract on the strength of his bulging batting average.

Herb Pcnnock wryly remarked, "Well, it's a funny thine, but they didn't have any trouble signing old Del Baker." Baseball men, ou sec, know that Baker, the Tigers' coach, who Is recognized as the best slgnal- stcalcr in the game today, is largely responsible for Grccnberg's heavy hitting. Baker spots a the opposition hurlcr's next pitch will be and gives Hank, who is a guess hitter, the tip- olT.
