Newspaper Page Text. r f--i. hJIS g " a 17 filial I PAGE TWO I'HU EVENING HEKAU). KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON April 8, l3(i Oakland Hum Portland Beavers , 4 to 3 5 I a American Net Team Prepares Opening Drive of Davit Cup Campaign Set This Week. The opening gun of Uncle Sammy's 1936 Davis Cup cam paign will be fired April 10-12. when the nucleus of this year s team levels its sights on the Mexican i squad on the clay courts of River Oaks club, Houston, Tex. The tie with the peppery little racqueteers below the Rio Grande isn't figured to be much more than a testing tour ney for the Yankee talent. The importance of the meeting rests In determining whether Don Budge, the carrot-topped west coaster, Is a real tennis player or a one-year wonder; and whether Bitty Grant, the southern patter, can play a game of quality superlative enough to please the eyes of the tennis fathers who, in his case, have been critical. Big Bill Tilden, who Hkr nothing better than to advf the U. S. Lawn Tennis selec. committee on talent suit) -for the team (advice which -r the way, the big-wigs .. ja pletely ignore), says that Budge Is a good tennis player, and that he will be great some ' day. He goes forther to state that Don is the best in the cur rent young erop. This means that William Ta tem believes Budge should be given every opportunity to make the trip to England this summer. Unquestionably, one year of eampaignlng abroad doesn't make a Davis Cup tennis play er any more than one swallow makes a summer. Budge's de feats at the hands of Fred Perry and Bunny Austin in the Davis Cnp finals at Wimbledon were singled out by experts as arguments against his playing this season. But not a word was mentioned concerning the fact that Wilmer Allison, No. 1 man on the team and top-. ranking player in the United States, also met defeats at the hands of the two British aces In the 6-0 rout of the Yankees. The experts - also forgot Budge's sterling performances In the Wimbledon singles, when the untried youngster went through to the semi finals, falling before the at tack of Baron Gottfried von Cramm, and Don's slashing Ingles victories over that Ger man and Heiner Henkel to pnt the Tankees In the challenge round against England. Budge is capable of superb tennis. It has been rumored that he uses bis own Judgment too much in playing a crucial game. But the youngster, with one year of international com petition behind him, is bound to mend his ways in this re spect The TJ. S. L. T. A. took a gamble on the young fellow last year when he was a green player; surely he's worth a few more chips In the pot with his 1935 experience behind him. The invitation extended to Bltsy Grant to play In the tie against Mexico might be just another gesture of the tennis body to still the clamor from the little chap's host of ad mirers. Last season Bryan was given a chance In the early ties against Mexico and Can ada. He performed nobly and yet, when the time came to end a team across, he was ignored. , Grant's pat-pat game Is de signed to nettle a fellow who plays as does Fred Perry. It's simply exasperating the way the little fellows follows the hardest drives and puts them back- over the net with a pat ting stroke that is almost a caress. With such an attack, based on a strong defense, perfect physical condition, and a slight break In the other fellow's game, Bltsy has leveled such giants as Frank Shields, Don Budge, Sid Wood, and a num ber of other ton-nltchers. It Is an attack of accupacy that must be cool under the strain of international play. Grant is a master at it, and it is this writer's opinion that he not only will prove his game is of Davis Cup caliber at Houston, and In the Australia tie at Philadelphia, May 29-31, but that, given a chance In the challenge round (if the Yanks get that far), he'll surprise a lot of the diehards who have turned thumbs down on him during the last couple of sea sons. KENO ITEMS - KENO, Ore. An operetta which will be given the latter part of April is being rehearsed in earnest this week. Tho oper etta, entitled "Crocodile Is land," Is being directed by Miss Jean Allison assisted with the dramatlo parts by Geneva Glenn. The cast has been chosen from both the Junior and senior high. There is singing, dramatic, bal let and tap dancing and a very 1 interesting plot. The cast and SEATTLE GAINS E Los Angeles Batters Too Much for Missions; Padres Win. By The Associated Press Frenchy Uhalt came back to Oakland from the New York Yankees to start the Acorns on their way to a 4-3 win over Portland. In the fourth he tripled and stole home.

Angel Ritsmen Connect "'.ey didn't look ao hot In ...aland last week, but so far as Walter Beck is concerned the Los Angeles Batters are as mighty as ever.

Y., April 8, UP) George Nichols, who lost his national boxing association light heavyweight title four years ago without throwing a punch, hi back after a championship bout. Nichols, who. won bis NBA crown in 1932 as a 100 to -1 shot, last night held John Henry Lewis, champion, to a draw In a ten round, non-title bout in Buf falo's Broadway auditorium. Today, the former champion was more confident than ever his showing will land him In the same ring with Lewis in a fif teen round affair with the title at stake. Nichols' most effective weapon was a hard left hand which he kept constantly in Lewis' face, throwing the punch from bis southpaw stance. Lewis appeared over-confident at the start and, after winning the first round by a wide margin, lost the next three In succession. He settled down then and forced the battle from that point to the end. The judges of the bout dis agreed but Referee Luke Carr voted a draw. The Associated Press score card gave Lewis the first, fifth. sixth and ninth rounds; Nichols the second, third, fourth and tenth with the sev enth and eighth even. Lewis weighed 176; Nichols 177.

Two-fisted Pete Belrastro won from Barney Cosneck in last night's main event wrostling match and gained the disapprov al of the armory crowd. Apparently determined to atop Cosneck in as short a time as possible, Belcastro won two straight falls. His second fall was accomplished with a series of punches on the Illinois ath lete's jaw. So flagrant was the foul, the audience expressed noisy protest against both Belcastro and Ref eree Ray Frlsbie. Many consid ered the referee should have disqualified Belcastro and at least awarded the fall to Cos neck, if not the match. Belcastro, Junior heavyweight champion of the Pacific coast, tore out of his corner at the start of the match and finished Cosneck for the first fall in 16 seconds. It was one of the short est falls on record at the arm ory. Three drop kicks put Cosneck down before he had set himself to meet the attack.
