Wagner: Tristan und Isolde Love Music (All-American Youth Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stokowski; Columbia; 6 sides; $3.50). Dr. Stokowski, a great one for tinkering, first fixed up these surging passages for Victor, with the Philadelphia Orchestra. With his youths (Class of 1940) he produces a satisfactory, briefer...

Rules limit each team to four men. Before the matches started, the U. S. selection committee picked Donald Budge and Wilmer Allison for the singles matches, passed over Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant, who had beaten both in practice, chose Budge and Gene Mako as the U. S. doubles team. On the courts of the Germantown Cricket Club, where France won the Cup from...
