By Eddie Ash AUSSIES PLAN TWO-MAN TENNIS a 8 a CRAWFORD. QUIST ARE WILLING

may try the iron man stunt in tennis and send a two-man team to battle the United States squad in the Davis Cup American zone final at the Germantown (Pa.) Cricket Club Aiay 30, 31 and June 1. ... It is said Jack Crawford and Adrian Quist are eager to tackle the burden. . . . 'I his means, i'.’ it comes to pass, that the Aussies will compete in singles matches the first day, pair in doubles the second and play singles again on the third. It's been done before, but not in recent years. . . . Exceptional stamina and ability are required. .. . The first two-man cup combination to go through to victory represented the British Isles in 1903. The Doherty brothers, Hugh and Reginald, beat America in the challenge round at Boston. Tony Wilding and Norman Brookes, Australasia aces, made it in 1907 by downing the British Isles squad, 3-2, after tallying a triumph over the United States by the same score. . . . The American team of McLoughlin and Melville Long went to Sydney in 1909 and tangled up with Brookes and Wilding and lost, 5-0. The Yankees took only one set in five matches. Brookes and Wilding grabbed the Davis trophy four times. They were veterans in 1914, but swept to victory by upsetting the American team of Maurice McLoughlin, Dick Williams and Thon.as Bundy. ... It was tight struggle. 3-2. with McLoughlin taking his singles. In 1920 Bill Tilden and Little Bill Johnston paired as the United States team, met the Australasian team of Brookes and Gerald Patterson at Auckland, New Zealand, in the challenge round and Uncle Sam's representatives crushed their opponents by scoring a grand slam.

Browns Perk Up and Knock Off Champs Surprise Comes After Team Loses Five Battles in Row. BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 23.—The St. Louis Browns have stepped back into character again. After losing five games in a row to start the i season, the Browns have suddenly knocked off the world champion Detroit Tigers two in a row. Last year the Browns were going no place, but at a critical* time in the pennant race they came to New York and sounded a funeral dirge over the Yankees’ pennant hopes. The Browns may not go any place again this year, but they’ll help keep the American League race lively. The Browns demonstrated real punch yesterday when they pounded out 18 hits off four Detroit pitchers —Crowder, Lawson, Sullivan and Wade—to beat the Tigers, 12-4. Two castoffs, Julian Solters and Jim Bottomley, and two youngsters, Beau Bell ' anu .lariand Clift, led the Browns’ attack with three hits each. Clift drove in four runs with three singles. Red Sox Trip Senators The defeat further entrenched the Tigers in sixth place, the same spot occupied by their world series’ victims, the Chicago Cubs. The Tigers have won two games and lost four and the Cubs have won three and lost four. Neither club has shown more than a brief sparkle of the play which brought them pennants last year. The Boston Red Sox strengthened their hold on second place in the American League by nosing out the Washington Senators, 4-3. Lefty Ostermueller halted a Washington rally in the ninth after the Senators had scored two runs on Estalella’s triple, Kill’s single and Lewis’ triple. Bill Werber’s single drove in Manush with the winning run in the sixth. New York’s Giants won their seventh game in eight starts by defeating the Phillies, 7-2. Carl Hubbeli let the Phils down with eight scattered hits, blanking them until the seventh inning. Hank Leiber’s first inning homer drove in three runs. Earnshaw Blanks Bees George Earnshaw pitched Brooklyn to a 5-to-0 triumph over the Boston Bees. He allowed only five hits and fanned six men. Triples by Buddy Hassett and Jimmy Bucher led the Dodgers’ 10-hit attack on Tiny Chaplin and Bobby Reis. Home runs by Chapman and Riggs were the deciding hits in Cincinnati’s 7-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards staged a ninth-inning rally, scoring two runs on a walk and two singles, but Gene Schott came to A1 Hollingsworth’s rescue and stopped the uprising. The other games were called off because of cold weather. Yesterday’s Hero—Bill Terry, Gia its’ pilot, playing his second full game of the season, who drove in three runs with a triple and two singles in New York’s 7-2 victory over the Phillies.

3000 Athletes Set to Assail Relay Records Sears Opposes Cunningham in Drake Special Race; Lash Outstanding. By United Press DES MOINES, la., April 23. Crack field and track athletes from every section of the country gathered here today for one of the nation’s premier athletic carnivals—the two-day Drake relays starting tomorrow. Three thousand athletes from California to North Carolina and Minnesota are set to bombard records hung up in 26 previous runnings. Glen Cunningham, star Kansas miler, will appear Saturday in a special 1000-yard race. His opposition will come from Harry Williamson, of North Carolina: Ray Sears, Butler; Jack Fleming, Northwestern, and Harold Manning, Wichita. Ray Ellinwood, Chicago's sensational quarter-miler, who has bettered the American and world 440yard mark indoors, will have his greatest outdoor test of the season in a special match race Saturday. Cornelius Warmerdam, Fresno State pole vaulter, is conceded an excellent chance of breaking the Drake record in his event. He has cleared 14 feet 2% inches this year. Drake’s own Linn Philson, who has leaped 6 feet 5% inches, and John Croson of Fresno State, are favorites in the high jump. Mark Panther, lowa’s javelin record holder, and Clarence Rowland, another Presno State ace, are expected to provide an exciting duel for the javelin medal. Two Big Ten quartets, Indiana and Wisconsin, will lead an onslaught on the four-mile relay record. Fast two milers who may break the Drake'record include Don Lash, Indiana: Chuck Fenske, Wisconsin; Bill Wheelock, Kansas, and Fred Padgett, Drake.
