Doubles Taken By Americans Budge Again Responsible; one Victory Needed to Regain Davis Cup By SCOTTT RESTON WIMBLEDON, Eng., July 2f (AVThe United States took what looked like a death grip on the Davis cup today as the California combination of Don Budge and Gene Mako won- the pivotal doubles match from C. R. DJ Tuckey and F. H. D. Wilde, 6-3, 7-5, 7-9, 12-10. This gave the Americans a 2-1 lead over Great Britain in the challenge round. Unless the British can pull a tennis miracle out of the hat in the two singles matches tomor row, the cup, held by Great Brit ain since 1933, will be headed back to New York for the first time since 1927 when France's LaCoste, Cochet, ' Borotra and Brugnon won it at Germantowa. Pa. ' Again today it was "Bullseye Budge" who carried the match. While Wilde, Mako, and finally the inspired Tuckey saw their serves battered' back and beaten. Budge held steady throughout all four sets, allowed only It points against his service in 16 games and took four of them, including the match clincher, at love. The pick-up British combina tion, with Tuckey bearing much more of the burden than was his rightful share, put up a surpris ingly stiff battle. Turkey Wilts Ironically, it was Tuckey who iinany wuiea in ut zisi game oi the overtime fourth set. The Americans broke through his serv ice in that game tor the first time during the match. Frankie Parker. 21-year-old youngster from Milwaukee, can clinch the cup by beating Charles Edgar Hare in tomorrow's open ing singles match. It he fails. Budge will have to shoulder the full burden once more in his clos ing match with the clever British stylist, Henry Wilfred "Bunny" Austin. , It wouldn't be surprising if the burden did fall on Budge. The Oakland. Califs red-head has worn the only singles victories scored by the United States thus far In the Davis cup abroad and like wise haa figured with Mako la two doubles triumphs. So far Ameri ca's advantage is his personal accomplishments.

Flesher, who besides being an expert angler is a swimmer of no mean standing, apparently gets a kick out ot catching his quota of fish first by the hook, then throw ing them back in to catch them by hand on their own grounds. "It gives them more of a sporting chance, Flesher did not say yes terday when not Interviewed by a ; Statesman reporter. On a trip, to the Breitenbush river with Vent Gilmore Sunday Flesher became so excited in land ing a 15-inch trout that he kicked his fish basket, containing six or seven good-sized trout, into a deep pool. . - The big fish gave the swimmer- angler considerable trouble. He managed the unusual trick of swimming under the log Flesher 1 was fishing from and then Jump ing back across it so that Flesh er's line was wound once around the log. Before Flesher could fig ure a way to get the- fish the obliging trout jumped back over the log to clear the line. That was when Flesher kicked his tackle and collection of trout into the pool, whether in high glee or just from excitement ot the moment he tailed to state. Retrieves Them All After finally landing the big fellow Flesher refused to let that be the sole trophy ot his prowess. He peeled oft his clothes (looking first carefully to right and lefty and dived tor the fish he had lost, all moving around in a cold and ghostly manner in a slight eddy at the bottom of the clear pool. j After ten or twelve dives Flesh er retrieved all his fish and tackle and, shivering mightily for the waters ot the Breitenbush are not tepid, decided he had had enough fishing for that day. t At 12-6.
