By JACK CUDDY
LONDON, Aug. 21 (UP) O. R,
Glanvill, chairman of the British
lawn tennis association, believes
the next Davis cup finals will be
held in Australia early in Jan
uary, 1947.
Such a prediction by Glanvill
verges. on the historic because
this tall, lean, gray-haired man
of 7J rarely speaks for publico
tion. He probably is the most
conservative and most respected
individual in international tennis.
Took Risk
His armor was penetrated by
United States sports writers dur
ing the weekend U. S. army tour
nament ut Wimbledon, when he
promised to hold a press confer
ence in London at the Cumber
land hotel if we Americans would
promise to drink tea. We had wry
faces, much to his delight, but
said we would risk the gastro
nomic repercussions to obtain the
nterview.
Glanvill, properly suited in
gruy tweed, sat at the end of a
long table and rolled like a boxer
with the punch when they pre
sented a fish course, seemingly
the only entree in England, while
the Americans rolled their eyes
in holy horror.

new era in athletics in which
teams will be flown across coun

the University of Oregon's two
outstanding coaches, G. A. (Tex)
Oliver and Howard Hobson. .
Both coaches arc just returned
from service coaching, Oliver to
pick up the football chores where
lie left off three years ago and
Hobson to resume his basketball
duties.
Speaking to a Portland audi
ence, they said plans are made to
fly football and basketball teams
from the west coast to New
York's Madison Square Garden,
to Honolulu and probably event
ually to British and European
schools, which could be included
in collegiate athletic schedules.

Among the top-flight service

Lt. Seymour Greenberg of New

Davis cup, which it won before

"Since Australia is the defend

pose soon as resumption of Davis
cup play, which tne Aussies win
do because they are not only joi-
ly good sports but excellent ten

The preliminary rounds prob

U. S. Certain
The challenge round resulting
from the preliminaries in the Eu
ropean and American zones prob

N. Y. Glanvill said the United
States was virtually certain to
become the western hemisphere
representative because "the de
velopment of excellent tennis
players seems to be one of the
main industries of both Califor
nia and Florida."
But he was uncertain what
country will represent the Eu
ropean zone, being under the im
pression plenty of tennis was
played in various sections of
France throughout the war al
though the better French players
ore not now known.
Britain's prospects he described
as uncertain because of six years
of war, but he reported several
promising young players, most of
them still inserviee, are being de
veloped in the British isles. He
doubted their ability to become
sharp enough by next summer.
Asked whether amateur and
professional tennis players ulti

Louise Suggests
Course Record in
Women's Western
By WALTER BYERS
CHICAGO, Aug. 21 (UP) A
freckled-face young lady from
Bobby Jone9' hometown, Louise
Suggs of Atlanta, Go., was the
same k 1 n d of a .threat in the
women's . western amateur golf
tournament today as the "old
master" used to be two decades
ago when he started his sensa
tional winning streak.
The strength . of Jones' game
was his driver and putter, "Ca
lamity Jane." And Miss Suggs'
history of those two clubs is what
makes the 21-year-old Georgia
miss such an outstanding threat
as the opening round of match
play in the women's western am
ateur begins over the Knollwood
club course.
. Miss Suggs, duration southern
amateur queen, is an odds-on fa
vorite to eliminate Rena Nelson
of Chicago in her match today on
the basis of the record shatter
ing 73 she fired yesterday, giving
her medal honors among the 32
who qualified.
It left such big-name stars as
defending champion Dorothy
Germain of Philadelphia and Mrs.
Babe Didrikson Zaharias of Los
Angeles far in the lurch.
Miss Germain posted a 38-40
78 to take fourth place behind
two veteran Iowans, Ann Casey
of Mason City and Phyllis Otto
of Atlantic, who tied for second
wilh 76s. '

Newhouser Wins 201 Ii
To Hold Tiger Lead
By CARL LUNDQUIST
NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (UP)
The Hal Newhouser "express"
was exactly on schedule today,
winging along toward the best
two-year record for any major
league pitcher since Dizzy Dean's
peak years of 1934 and 1935.
Newhouser, the American
league's most valuable player last
season, finished with 29 victories
and nine losses for the Tigers.
This year, with Detroit favored
to win the pennant, he has won
20 and lost seven to date, which
is the identical record he pos
sessed Aug. 21, 1944
Win Pair
Yesterday he won his fifth
shutout of the year, a 4 to 0 job
on the visiting Athletics, who
were humbled twice. Les Muel
ler beat them, 4 to 1, with a four
hitter in the second game. New
houser was the first iri.jor league
pitcher to hit the 20-victory mark
this season.
If he goes beyond 25 victories,
he will be the first Aemrican
league pitcher to do the job two
years in a row since the regime
of Robert Moses Groves of the
A's in 1932.
The Washington Senators re
mained a game and a half behind
the Tigers by winning two at
Cleveland. Marino Pieretti pitch
ed a three-hit shutout to win the
opener, 7 to 0, and Alex Carras
quel hurled a 6 to 0 seven-hitter
in the second game.
Yanks Win
The Yankees made four runs in
the ninth' to top Chicago's ace
night-gome pitcher, Earl Cald
well, 4 to 1. Walt Dubiel was the
winner..
The Browns continued their
"hot streak" at St. Louis with a
10 to 6 win over the Red Sox,
which they sewed up with a seven-run
rally in the second.
Ken Burkhardt, Cardinal rook
ie, became the first St. Louis
pitcher to hurl three straight
shutouts since Howie Pollet left
for military service in 194:1.
Burkhardt blanked the Braves ut
Boston, 2 to 0.
