Page Six NEVADA STATE JOURNAE, REffQ. NEVADA Friday. June 1, 1934 AMERICA'S DAVIS CUP TEAM BEATS MEXICO IN FINAL TENNIS GAME SPORT By HENRY- McLEMORE (United Press Staff Correspondent) LONDON, May Elk drum and bugle corps 'had always been tops with me as a spectacle until today when, from a perch- on Queen Victoria's monumentr-I was about on the gracious old lady's bustle--I saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham palace. I still think the Elk drum and buglers are swell, but I've got to admit tihe palace' guards -could spot them miles of gold braid, a hundred yards of chest expansion and fifteen share and still make 'em look like the bonus army after a day's forced marching. As a matter of fact, one Irish guardsman I saw was more 'Impressive than an entire Elk lodge.

He had on everything but a live chicken, and that bulge under his coat probably was a Rhode Island Red rooster for extra special occasions. This fellow, alone, could have 'outfitted a masquerade party of 200 and still had enough left to rate a captaincy in the Mexican army. One look at him and you knew, why -the British are such good soldiers--an ordinary bullet would foe awed by his finery, and detour. An' other look and you knew why the king was safe with such Nobody would shoot a king when they could plug one of those guardsmen. What trophies they'd make for a den! They'd rate the directly above the elephant's head.

Curious to know what it felt like to wear such an outfit, I slid down Victoria's left leg and tagged along after the outgoing guards their barracks. I wanted to catch one off- duty, having already learned that you might just as well talk to a sphinx with lockjaw as try and talk to one while he was giving off guarding. It was one of these same guards, you will remember, who, standing outside St. James palace one night, watched a burglary across the street without uttering a sound or moving' from attention. And another, when an automobile accident killed four persons ten feet in front of him, didn't m'ove out of his tracks.

Off (Juty, however, they're all right. Soon as they the barracks, they beat it for a fatigue uniform. Fatigue is right, after carrying around all that haberdashery. I found that the guards like' all the items of -their equip-' ment with the exception jof the Busby It requires two adult bears and three adolescent -bears to get enough fur lor a Busby. I tried and they weigh about -the same as a Baldwin locomotive (with medium-sized engineer at' throttle), and hold heat like a tireless cooker.

I must go now. The open at five, and I-must have my tea. Lott and Stoefen Conquerors of Continent -BALTIMORE-, May --The United States clinched- victory in its North American Davis cup final with Mexico today by defeating the Mexican in Stoefen, American doubles champions, scored a straight-set triumph over Captain Ricardo Tapia, and Eduardo Mestres, who represented Mexico. The scores were, 6--4, 6--4. Yesterday the United States both singles matches; Tapia substituted for Angel Roldan.

Stcefen's enormous reach served him in 'good stead. He stands- six feet, inches. The -Mexicans apparently were content to concentrate their attack on Lott, whose errors gave 'them most of their points. Tapia and. Mestres took their services twice each in the opening set to win their four games; With the score five-four against the Lott came through in tenth game with an ace and tbwo placements to win on his service and take the set, 6--4.
