Aussies Ready For Start Os Davis Cup Play NEW YORK (INS) — Seven months ago when Uncle "Sam’s Tony Trabert and Vie Seixas broke Australia’s four year Davis Cup monopoly, it w-as widely predicted that Harry Hopman, the crotchety Aussie captain, would lose his job. Hopman’s dedication to making and keeping Australia supreme in the tennis world had been marked by an increasingly surly, highhanded manner that lost him friends and alienated people wherever he went. His come uppance, one gathered, would be welcomed by the high tennis brass in his country, as well as among the lowly players who served his beck and call. However, when the Aussies arrived in the U. B. Wednesday to begin the arduous process of trying to recaptune the crown, harried Harry was as much in eviddhee and, apparently, as much in command as ever. He did seem a bit more thawed out, which could have been orders, or maybe just because he hasn't yet plunged into the tension of cup competition. The Aussies were to leave this afternoon for Chicago, where they’ll meet Mexico in the first round North American zone (don’t ask, please, how Australia gets in the North American zone) meet July 15. 16 and 17. Assuming they win those and subsequent tests, they will be kept busy with cup preliminaries every weekend through Aug. 14, the date of the interzone finals with the European champion. Comes a week’s respite for the U. S. doubles championships, and then the challenge round with the U. S. at Forest Hills Aug, 26, 27 and 28. { Hopman professes himself completely optimistic about the outcome. “Even with Trabert winning the Wimbledon championship,” he said, “I think you’d have to rate it a toss up right now.” Harry doesn't feel that Trabert is any better than he was in the 1953 cup matches, when he defeated Ken Rosewall but lost a five-setter to Lewis Hoad. “Tony,” he said, “may have played more consistently at Wimbledon, but he was not as brilliant as he was against Hoad in’s3.” ■ The -implication is thaFHoad, at his best is superior to Trabert, at his best. And that is exactly what Hopman means to imply. He said: “Stroke for stroke, Hoad has the best ,game in the world. He just hasn't been able to put it all together since the end of Hopman insists that the 20 year old Hoad’s marriage during the Wimbledon matches will solve emotional problems that have been bothering him. The Aussies need a. “settled down.” Hoad, but no more than the U. S. needs to establish just who is going to be .-Nfe^_b^nd*Tsgfegrt.:, U. S. captain Billy Talbert admits that, right now, it would be pretty tough to name a teammate for Trabert. Vic Seixas, the present national champion, has had a pretty unsatisfactory record since he and Tony teamed to -win the cup back at Sydney. - “He can do it/” said Talbert, "but he has a lot of work ahead of him.” - •• ]

Delinquency Key Is With Parents WASHINGTON (INS) —Former heavyweight boxing champipn Jersey Joe Walcott believes the best way to fight juvenile delinquency is with the golden rule. Walcott told a senate labor subcommittee Wednesday this applies both to children and to parents. The key to stopping juvenile delinquency, he added, Is held by the nation’s mothers and fathers. “Actually, and to a larger extent,” said Walcott, "what we have to deal with is parent delinquency.” The former boxer said he and his brothers were taken to the woodshed by their father when they did anything wrong, while their mother pleaded with the boys and prayed for-them to mend their ways. Walcott, the father of six children himself, said this system worked. He added;- “Pa and Ma were a perfect team. Whatever they did was for «w” good. We need more old fashioned fathers and mothers.” The 41-year-old Walcott, who won the heavyweight title in 1951 and lost it to Rocky Marciano in 1952, has been for the past IS months a special investigate!- of jUYpnile delinquency for the Camden.N. J., police department. He Suggested to the senators that they enact laws to hold parents financially responsible for damage done by their children and that local authorities “stop coddling" habitual offenders, no matter how young they are.

Wilson Blanks Yanks For 4th Defeat In Row NEW YORK (INS) —Paul Richards stands accused of making more bad deals than an inebriated poker player but at least one fast shuffle is beginning to pay off. The Baltimore manager, given a 8500.000 budget to revamp the club completely if necessary. ■ counted out a reported, 340.000 to bring righthander Jim Wilson from Milwaukee Hast April after halfhis staff turned up lanjp. There was very little grumbling in Milwaukee for the 33-year-old veteran was supposed to have had it. despite a memorable no hit performance against Philadelphia during the 1954 campaign. Besides, Wilson made himself expendable by declaring a few months earlier that he’d "rather pitch for Richards than any other manager,” a statement that hit Cholly Grim squarely between the eyes. So Wilson, who was with Richards twice before in the minors, got-his Uri’d chance and Paul Tras been griktefUl ever since. Wilson lias won six this year for the Birds, three of them by shutouts. The Orioles’ lone representative to next week’s All Star game back in Milwaukee pitched his third Wednesday night, a sparkling four hit. 4-0 whitewashing that handed tt.e New York .Yankees their fourth straight defeat. Jim, who now has an earned run average of 2.51 in 119 innings, walked only two and struck out four, including pinch hitter Bob Cerv and Bill Skowron. He didn't permit a man past first base as he rationed out singles in the first, second, seventh and ninth innings. Southpaw Whitey Ford lost only his fourth in 15 decisions when he gave up all four Baltimore runs in the fourth inning, the stanza in which Richards was ejected for protestihg a call at the plate. A Memorial Stadium crowd of 18,743 watched the Orioles beat the Yanks for the second time in 13 meetings when Hal Smith singled home Dave Pliilley, who had doubled. Wilson added the finishing touch by singling home the laist two tallies. The Cleveland Indians moved to within 4% lengths of the Yankees by* beating Kansas City, 8-4; De- , troit beat—Chicago. 4-3, in a day- . light contest, and scintillatiug Boston polished off Washington. 7-5, with a second scheduled game rained out. , Brooklyn downed Pittsburgh. 105. and then lost, 4-1; Chicago bowed to Milwaukee 5-1 in the only National League daytime affair; the New York Giants climber back into the first division by beating Philadelphia. 4-2, in a game ended after six iunlrigs by rain, and Cincinnati dropped into fifth place by losing to St. Louis, 6-4.

One of the heaviest fines in the state's boxing history was slapped on Johnson for his part in the May 6 bout at Philadelphia. The boxer’s $4,114 purse was forfeited by the commission for not telling authorities he had been doped prior to the bout, which ended fater two rounds.

Three British Pros Tied For Lead In Open ST. ANBRiBWS. Scotland (INS) —Ed Furgol, his temper some-, what cooled, returned to tricky St. | Andrews with four other Ameri-{ cans today to take up the pursuit of the British open golf championship. The 1954 U. S. open champion from Clayton, Mo., who scorched Jtournamen't offl.oials Wednesday for what he claimed was shoddy treatment of visiting players, began the second 18-hole round of the 72-hole championship with the best score of his group. But so torrid was the shooting as the three day chomplonshlp proper got underway Wednesday, that 20 players beat par and Fur- 1 gol’s 71 was only good for 10th place. Three Br 11 Is h professionals I wound up deadlocked for the lead with 69's — Dai Rees of Walkes, runnerup in the last two British opens; Syd Scott of England, who shared second place with Rees and Bobby- Locke last year when _ Aus,\ rratta'sr PistW Thomson "won, and Eric Brown of Scotland. Bracketed at 70 were three-time former champion Henry Cotton, Cecil Denhy, Bernard Hunt and qualifying medalist Fiank Jowle, all of England. Dennis Smflldon of Wales and Gan Martin of Scotland. Behind Furgol, who shot 71 for the third straight day, having had a pair of them as his qualifying effort, came three other America ns-weteran professional Bryon Nelson of Roanoke, Tex., and amateurs Joe Conrad of San Antonio, Tex., and Jim McHale of Phila-delphfa-ell with 72. The fifth U. S. entry, massive Johnny Bulla of Pittsburgh, who figures he has spent S7,(MM) in six previous stabs at the open, made another wobbly start with a 75.
