THINGS have started moving for the Davis Cup challenge. The world is worried —that is, the lawn tennis world—and the chief worry is H. Ellsworth Vines, who, even Jean Fcrctra admits, is the world's ranking player. Vines , will lead the American team, and he | will be the man tn beat, so the experts say. But the hopes of France to retain the trophy have been raised by two recent displays. One is the performance of Vines during his AnsI tralian tour. To say the least, his play has been erratic: seldom was he at his best, and that tias been very encouraging to the French fan. The wond factor that swells the French heart is the spectacle of Henri Cochet in serious training for the forthcoming matches. For even the Frenchmen have conceded that I there was nothing fluky about the I way Vines settled Cochet at Forest

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, M XRCH I, 1933.

I Hills last year, and they know that . their former champion must do a , lot of training tn be able to shine ? against Vines, when, as and if they , meet again. s Whatever the French may think, s one thing must be appreciated—- • Vines will have to show a lot more - than he did in the Antipodes if he is to lead an American cup team to 1 victory over the French or any > other team. The betting is that he - will. Vines, of course, is not the whole > team. Cliff Sutter of Tulane, the s intercollegiate champion, who is exi pected to take over the singles place . on the team that the veteran Wil- ■ mer Allison held down last year, ‘ has been showing top-notch form, ■ and his string of victories marks i him as an outstanding challenger. In all the excitement over the Co- ■ Chets and the Vineses and the other ! top-o’-the-heap boys, there must be

no overlooking a few other contestants. There is Vivian McGrath, the young two-handed stroking Australian, who has beaten Vines and the other leading American players. From South Africa will come Max Bertram, the No. 1 ranking player of that section, who ba= beaten some of the world’s greatest players. And, in the opinion of many experts, the German team may be the pivotal point in the matches. Gottfried von Cramm showed unsual strength in 1932, and was talked of as the most improved of the European players. He has a stroke that is positively demoralizing, according to the players whose measure he has taken. % So the answer to the perennial query: “Is this the year?” is no two-plus-two problem fox 1933. Maybe you can figure it out. CoryrUrht. IMS. King Fea'trr, Sjn.iicat*. Inc
