NEW YORK, Jan. 6 P America's chances of lifting the Dnvts cup ap pear "extremely remote" to Big Bill TUden, world professional tennis titleholdetV' ''If the'were playing on this side I think we would have a chance," he said, "but' I doubt very much we will reach the challenge round against France. I would not be surprised to sco England win the cup." Understand," he continued, "I'm not attempting to take anything away from1 'Ellsworth Vines. He's a most promising player, undoubtedly ono of the best amateurs in the world. But I Just can't believe he and the ones they select to play with him will be able to win the Davis cup under the conditions they must face. ' . Mentions clay ConrlH In th,ej first place, Vines will be handicapped by the clny courts in Frnnce. Secondly, he cannot expect to be as effective with the soft ball they use over there. He's the type of player, like myself, who depends upon a powerful drive to pull him out of the tight places. When he lays on one. with our ball It usually passes his opponent in a cloud of dust, but he'll find It coming right back at him over there." TUden pointed out that Vines still in very young for Davis cup compe tition. Much To I.earn "He's only twenty. As I said, he possesses a great game but it still lfi a little crude. He has much to learn about court tactics. The ten nis fans who expect lads like Vines and Shields and Wood to go over and win the Davis cup forget some- i thing. They remember that Bill Johnston and I brought It back the first time we tried but they forget that Johnston at that time wus 20 years old and I was 25. Another thing, wo first went over right after the war when Europe's tennis was at n low ebb. Their best players either had been busy fighting or had had littlo practice. Wo had It easy. "But now it's different.. England has Perry Itnd Austin and France has Cochet and Borotra. " NEW YORK TO PLAY CHICAGO AT PING PONG CHICAGO.

Arthur turned to me, with a grin. "When we get that duck," he said, "his head will be gone." Ha was right. The duck's head was gone, from the ears out. This meant that Mr Cuscaden, on the head of a duck passing less than 15 yards away at 70 miles an. hour, had placed the left-hand rim of a thick pattern of No. 0 shot, the disk being about the size of a saucer.

Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) Before he departed for a well earned vacation, far from the rever berations of the Hot Stove league in che Bahamas, Sam Breadon talked at some length about the famous "chain-store" system of the St. Louis Cardinals; a system linking major and minor league ownership that has revolutionized many features of the baseball business. It is, Mr. Breadon avers, to be a bigger and better system in 1932, whether the rest of the magnates " like it or not. Under the direction of General Manager Branch Rickey, the hend quarters has been moved from Dan ville, 111., to Springfield, Mo. The new location, farther so,uth, will in crease the chances of better woath--cr for the spring assembly of talent. It will also be closer to the system's big minor league rallying ground, Houston, where the Columbus, Roch ester and Houston clubs will train for 1932. Tho Cardinals are building a $10, 000 clubhouse at Springfield. It will bo equipped to take care of nearly 300 young and ambitious ball play en:, picked up from the schools, the sandlots and semi-pro j ranks all over the country. So popular and well known has ' become tho rnrriinnt rhnih.cw j tablishment that Breadon 's office had a grand total of 1500 applica tions this year from boys anxious j to get a trial. The lucky 300 pay .their own expenses to camp, whero . they are equipped and boardod bv j the Cardinals so long as they are on trial. juus nugcii-s, ureaitDa s. cniei scout, , Chorles Barrett, told him.
