Canada In
Cup Tilts
TORONTO (AP) The United
Slates, which gambled with an in
experienced team, Saturday
clinched its Davis Cup series
against Canada without the loss of
a set by winning the doubles
match.
Barry MacKay, the only tested
player on the Yank squad, and
Sammy Oiiammalva of Houston.
Tex., conquered Boh Bedard and
Don Fontana, 6-1. 13-H, 6-4, to
pile up an insurmountable 3-0 lead
in the best-of-five series. It was
the I2th straight Davis Cup match
victory for the United States over
Canada.
, The victory sent the U. S. into
the final round of the North Amer
ican zone, competition. The Ameri
cans most likely will meet Argen
tina in the finals. The Argentines
Saturday clinched a 3 0 lead over
the British West Indies and next
will meet Israel in the zone semi
finals.
Monday's final two Jingles
matches were reduced to exhibi
lion stains by the MacKay-Giam-
malva triumph before l.sno fans
at the Toronto Cricket, Skating
and Curling Club.
MacKay, 6-5 stalwart of the
American squad, heat Fontana in
the first singles match Thursday
and Whitney Reed, an untested
player from Alameda, Calif., beat
Hedard on Friday.
The Canadian doubles cham
pions gave the Americans a battle
only in the long second set and a
few times came close to winning
it.
In the fast first set. the Ameri
cans broke Bedard's service in the
second game and Font ana's de
livery in the fourth for an easy
victory.
Tile Canadians finally were able
to break an American player's
service, something they couldn't
dn in either singles match. Mac
Kay's service was broken twice,
once In the first set and again in
the second. The Canadians got
through Giammalva's ilrlisory in
the third set. The Americans made
seven service breaks.
The decisive break in the long
second set came in the 23rd g.Hiic
on Bedard s service. With the
score at dnice, Mai Kay's place
ment and Fnn'ana's drive ner the
baseline gave the Yanks the game
and a 12-U lead They then held
service for the set.
In Ihe 10th and lltth games the
Canadians were two poinls troni
taking the set and they were only
one point away in Iho 2mh game
