June 2. —(U.R) America's ninth quest for the Davis cup since it was snatched by the French in 1927. ended in tailure yesterday, and quite a few of us are inclined to agree with Vincent Richards as to the reason why. It is Mister Richards' belief that America never will regain the cup until the stiff shirts and pompous noggins which now compose our Davis cup selection committee are thrown overboard and replaced by gentlemen with enough brains to pick the right teams. And Mister Richards is A gent who knows a i few of the answers when it comes to tennis. Perhaps it would be ungracious (and heaven knows 1 would hate to be that) to say that | the election committee guessed l wrong when they chose Wilmer I Allison and Gene Mako to assist • Donald Budge in whipping the Australians in the recent North Amer-; iean zone final It probably would ■ he nicer to say that they didn't ! guess right. As far as the score i was concerned the committee might ■ just as well have named Luke McGhike and Fritz Hightower as Allison and Make Allison ' lost both his singles matches with | a beautiful lack of form, and Mako. in his doubles appearance, blew higher than a kite with two tails. This isn't second guessing, either. this criticism. Everybody but the committee knew, and said, what was going to happen. This 'observer said as long ago as last

January that Bitsy Grant and' Budge were the boys for the I singles. But the committee, with its one way mind, decided that Allison, being as he was the national ■ champion, just had to play. The | face that he couldn't knock the! ball over the net in the practice I rounds, made no difference. It did • make u difference, however, when ,he got ont there on the court I against Hie Australians and still couldn't knock it over the net. 1 am still trying to determine I just who was responsible for the j selection of Allison over Grant, who. according to such experts as Mercer Beasley and Bill Tilden, could have beaten both Quist and Crawford on the form they showed at Germantown. Nobody will take the responsibility. Ask the tenuis officials, and they just pass the buck. They will say nothing defi- ' nite. Shortly after Australia end ed our hopes yesterday, 1 asked Walter Merrill Hall, president of the U. S. L. T. A., what he thought of the choice of the selection committee. His answer was typical of the wishy-washiness of the entire I selection. "I think it would be very un gracious of me to say that it was I wrong," he said. Nuts! He should have risen up ■ and said it was the most unexplainable piece of business he had I ever seen. For it was. Allison is named over Grant because he is tiie mole experienced, the more 'accustomed to the pressure of in- ! ternational play. Yet Mako is natn!ed over Van Ryn in the doubles, and Van Ryu is a seasoned campaigner. So what? So nothing, except Mako. when the pressure gets a little tough, folds up after the maimer of a two dollar accordion. and Allison plays like a clay ■ court champion from East MissisI sippi. What makes a fellow sore is . that the Australians played only . ordinary tennis in winning. Crawlord was decidedly second-rate in ■ doubles, and beat Allison with a

I game that Grant would have overpowered in four sets, at the most. Excuse my anger I need a beer. (Copyright 1936 by UP.) n Murder Indictments Sought For Slayers — j South Bend.

At the psychopnt ic ward, when l Zloncheck was held lor mental ob I servation, it was said his condition j was "not serious." A few days rest | was prescribed, indicating he soon i may be released.

Zloncheck slept hist night, the first time, he said, since last Thursday. The four day interim was packed with more excitement than most congressmen get in 20 years in Washington. The reports of hie escapades fill two pages Os police records. But he was awake early today, demanding that bls bride nf a month he ‘'released so she can come to me.” His wife, former WPA stenographer Rubye Nix, •walked out" of their apartment early last Saturday. i Frantic efforts of Zloncheck to locate her. during which he raced his speedy roadster through traf1 sic lights, attempted to enlist the 1 aid of President Roosevelt and obI tain a warrant for the arrest of 1 Vice President Garner on charges 1 of “conspiracy" to detain his wife. 1 were futile. "They can’t keep me in here," ■ Zloncheck was quoted as saying, i "I'll be out soon and I'll turn this i town upside down if I have to to i find my wife. 1 know she'd come i to me it she could." Despite his insistence Mrs. Zioncheck remained absent. Reports
