S. hopes of retaining the Davis Cup took a gloomy turn today because of uncertainty about the seriousness of a shoulder and back injury plaguing Uncle Sam’s mainstay, 25-year-old Tony Trabert of Cincinnati. Trabert ivas forced to default to 1 Ed Moylan of Trenton, N. J., in the fifth set of the final round of the Meadow Club Tournament at Southampton Sunday. He was inclined to minimize his injury, but he withdrew from this week's i Eastern grass court champion-j ships at Orange, N. J., at the in-; sistence of Davis Cup officials. Tony was trailing. 1-0. in the ■ final set when he quit. Moylan. who' defeated Trabert a year ago in the' semi-finals of the same tourney and went on to win it. had taken the first set 6-3 and the fourth 8-6. Trabert won second and third, 2-6, 6-8. The Ohioan, who apparently pulled a muscle early in the week, said the shoulder and back began to 0 : pain him during the long fourth set. Cup Captain Billy Talbert had ordered him to withdraw as soon as the injury began to bother him. ! Major League Leaders American League Batting AB H Pct. Kaline. Detroit —— 401 141 .352 Kuenn.
