Campaign Set This Week.

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

George Nichols
Asks Chance at
Boxing Title
BUFFALO. N. 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.

Cosneck Knocked Out In
Main. Event; Arab
Beats Savich.
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.
Belcastro gained his second
fall in seven minutes and 10 sec
onds. He cracked his opponent
on the Jaw as Cosneck rushed
for a flying tackle, and continued
to throw punches uutll he knock
ed Cosneck out.
It was the second time In as
many weeks Cosneck had lost to
Belcastro.
Prince Mihalakls, the Arabian
from San Francisco, won an
other semi-wlndup match by
trimming aggressive Dan Savich
of the University of Utah.
' Savich won the opening fall
In the second round with a se
ries of Sonnenbergs. Mihalakls
took falls in the third and fourth
with bis "camel lock."
Frankie Peck of San Fran.
Cisco dropped the opening match
to Frank Taylor of Ohio. Fly
lng tackles gave Taylor a fall In
the second. Peck won witn
headlock in the third. A flying
headlock in the fourth turned
the match in Taylor's favor.
