Is Chosen for No. 1 Singles

Helen Jacobs Given No. 2| Berth; Competition to Open Tomorrow.

By United Press NEW YORK, N. Y. The United States and British

Wightman Cup teams held final light practice sessions at the Forest Hills Stadium today for their 15th international tennis clash tomorrow and Sawurday. The United States will defend the cup, which has been won by AmerIcan women in 10 of the 14 previous competitions, with a four-player team. The British, seeking to break a string of six consecutive U. S. victories, named a team of six players. Two singles and one doubles match will be on tomorrow's pro- | gram and the conchiding four | matches will be played Saturday. The Wightman Cup committee of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association yesterday named National Champion Alice Marble for the No. 1 singles assignment, It was a surprise to some who believed that former titleholder Helen Jacobs would be the choice. Miss Jacobs was named for the No. 2 singles and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, a veteran of America’s last six victorious campaigns, was named No. 3. Mrs. Fabyan also will pair with Miss Marble in one of the doubles matches. Miss Jacobs will have Mrs. John Van Ryn of Austin, Tex, as a doubles partner. Substitutes Closer | Carelin Babcock, Los Angeles vet- | eran of four previous cup series, and Dorothy May Bundy, Santa | Monica, newcomer to the Wight- | man team, will be substitutes in|

but still important enough in the cosmic scheme to demand at least passing attention. The dust storms, the grasshopper plague and the Yankee pitching staff, for instance. Just how the rest of the football world will react to the professor's decision to restrict his laboratory team to Easterners remains to he seen. By inference the professor seems to say that only in the East will you find the very best in foot ball flesh. Not being familiar with the cone | siderations which prompted the professor's decision, 1 can only guess that he may have been in. fluenced by the fact that Eastern football reached a new high level last fall-—and it should not be for-

Bobby Riggs Beats Mako in Newport Play

Advance to Semifinal by Conquering Davis Cupper In Straight Sets.

By United Press NEWPORT, R. 1, Aug. 180. -—-Robert 1. Riggs of California, the defending champion, gained the semi. final round in the 57th annual News port Casino Tennis Tournament today with an 8-8, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Gene Mako, American Davis Cup player and co-holder of the world’s qoubles title, Riggs, 19-year-old star, was In full command throughout, He broke through in the 14th game to take the first set. Once that was out of the way, he bore down with his characteristically fluent attack to completely submerge the burly Mako. Riggs’ whipping cross-court shots off either side were going in by inches, and his tricky net shots baffled his fellow-Californian. Donald Budge of Oakland, Cal, No. 1 tennis player of the world, was to clash with John MeDiarmid, young Princeton University ine structor, today In the feature quarterfinal singles match. Budge, who is badly off form, was given a terrific battle yesterday by frank Guernsey, Orlando, Fla, youngster playing his first season on grass, Budge lost the first set, and was within a point of losing the second before he rallied to win, 1-8, 119, 6-4, 6-4. Meantime MeDiarmid, who is at the peak of his game, disposed of Yvon Petra, young French internationalist, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-1. The Budge-MeDiarmid match is sure to draw a big gallery, since MeDiarmid, seeded seventh, may give Budge the best battle since his memorable five-set tussle against Baron Gottfried von Cramm in the Davis Cup interzone finals. Other quarterfinal matches day: Bryant M. Grant, Atlanta, seeded third, vs. Jiro Yamagishi, champion of Japan. Frankie Parker, No. 2, Spring Lakes, N. J, vs. Fumituru Nakano, Japanese Davis Cup star. Budge and Mako meet a Northe western University team--Norbert Burgess and Norman Bickel-in the principal quarterfinal doubles

KRAMER, NATIONAL BOYS’ NET CHAMP, RESEMBLES VINES

ACK KRAMER, national « boys’ singles champion, in action bears a striking re semblance to Ellsworth Vines. He is not as large as the fore mer national amateur and cure rent professional titleholder, however, Kramer registers from Cali fornia, of course, and Pacific Coast critics are of the opinion « that he is better than Vines was at a corresponding age, especially as regards funda. mentals,.
