And then comes England, the nation which won the cup in 1933 from France and defended it each year since, thanks to Fred Perry, now a professional. Changling Donald Purdge of Oakland. Cal., will carry the major load for America. He will play two singles and undoubtedly pair with Fene Mako, Los Angeles veteran, in the doubles.
