Yet the fact re mains that Gene came through mag nificently, and the doubles rictory was all-important ia the semi finals against Germany. If Mako had faltered in this cru cial duel with Von Cramm and Hen keL America would nerer hare reached the final round. . Last year it was an erratic spell of Mako's that caused the U.
