Sports Trail

NEW YORtf, Aug. 31.-(;P-Two
strange Bedfellows of sport broke
bread and . sipped an Italian
count's champagne today as they
patched forevermore a .feud that
rtiuqpd n in tprnafinnal incident
seven years ago.
The chief characters were
Gar Wood, the silvery fox of '
Harms worth trophy- fame, and
Kaye Don. British sportsman
who almost lost his life' because
of the Rly : Wood's . raring skull
duggery back in 1031, Here to
Rrert Count Theo Rossi Di Mon-
telera of Italy, in America to
siteed boat honors. Wood and
Don toasted each other like
duelists who had fought their
"&ht, gained honor and again
become fast pals. As theypart
ed. Wood wore j a broad smile.
The on blotch of his escutch-
eon as a sportsman, he believed,,
had been erased.
Perhaps no sports event ever
caused as much international
yowling, howling and criticism as
the Wood-Don incident. Don,,a
British war hero, had come to De
troit, Vith a remarkable boat; Miss
England 3rd, to challenge the
mischievous Wood. Wood then
rode the watery crests like Bobby
Jones did' the bunkers of gold. So
excited did the -country become
over this race of "tubs" that one
figured the honor of England and
America were staked on. the re
sult of the race.. But the sly Wood
figured out a.; scheme to fool the
Englishman. He. . did. More tha n
that, the trick, almost cost Don his
lire. i V-'V -
me race, as tne sklris jockeyed
toward the 'starting line.
Wood's second boat beat the
starter's gun jover the starting
line. It was a neat decoy. Don
shot his boat across, too, and It
"was all over. As he. stood dis
qualified,' along with Wood's
- decoy boat, the cagey Wood "
sent his eraft across the line ex
actly on time. Victory was easy.
In the ensuing mixup, Don
cracked up. Medical skill saved
his life, as sportsmen the world
... a , . .
Wood, to this very day,- has
been, trying to. get back into good
graces among the sportsmen" of
the world. He has more than paid
the price of one mistake. So, to
day, tas he wined and dined with
the man he once fooled, sportsmen
applauded. The; near .tragic inci
dent was forgotten. "iv -

Don Budge Says Tennis Competition
Growing Tougher Every Year as low
Ranking Players Increase Strength
PHILADELPHIA, Aiig. 31 (AP) Lanky Don Budge,
America's Davis cup team ace, remarked between sniffles
and sneezes today that "competition in tennis in this country
is growing; keener all the time."
When Bill Tilden was in his heyday, Budge said, "the top
men in the first ten may have been better than at present, but
from four or five down through
the first 20 I think you'd find
stronger players now than in Til
den's day."
The red-headed star was wait
ing to"" practice on the Merion
ocurts with his teammates for this
week's challenge round against
the Australians. j
"A few years ago you could af
ford to take it easy in the early
rounds of a tournament," the
Wimbledon champion continued
on the uncertainty of present-day
competition. j i
"Now you ask who you're sup
posed to play; they tell y6u Joe
