...tennist and non-playing captain of the U. S. Davis Cup team, was up against a tough question. The U. S. team had just managed to beat Germany in the interzone final (TIME, July 29). In the doubles, after match point had been called against them five times, Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn had nosed out Baron Gottfried von Cramm and Kay Lund in five long sets. Next day, Allison had, as expected, won his singles match against Heiner Henkel and Donald Budge had amazingly defeated von Cramm. This gave the U. S. the right to play England...

In Ottawa discouragement among Conservatives was so acute that within the Party there was talk that Mr. Bennett might abruptly retire and put in the field some other Conservative whom Canada's mob had not become accustomed...
...every afternoon- watched the matches. They saw Borotra indicate that he might not have been of much use to France's Davis Cup team in any case by losing, after five hard sets, to Czechoslovakian Roderick Menzel. In the most startling upset of the week, Wilmer Allison lost to Australia's unorthodox Vivian McGrath in the first round. After seven days of play, the only U.
