Berlin, July 17. (A While Germany rested all its hopes in the I hands of its young sensations, Daniel Prenn and Hans Molden- hauer, the United States tonight definitely selected Bill Tilden and I frank Hunter to play the singles and Wllmer Allison and John Van Ryn the doubles in the inter-zone Davis cup tennis final against the Germans this week-end. Discarding the doubles combination of Heinz Landmann and Hein-rich Kleinschroth which lost in the series with England, the German strategists sprang a surprise by naming Prenn and Moldenhauer to carry the burden In doubles as well as singles, when the exact lineups were announced tonight, a day earlier than had been expected.

The fight is for 15 rounds to a decision. The distance should favor Braddock, who Is a natural light heavyweight and not handicapped, as is Loughran, by the effort of training down to the 175-pound limit. Although he probably will enter the ring a slight favorite at nrtrts of 6 to 5, the champion will need all his boxing skill and speed to offset the attack of the rugged, hard-hitting youngster from across the river.
