DAVIS CUP PLAYERS
AMERICANS WORRIED
NEW YORK, May 24. American observers are decidedly worried over the poor 'showing of the American s Davis Cup team In the'workouts. In an exhibition match at Glencove, Sabin beat J. D. Budge 6-4, 6-4, but this was not so much the'cause of concern as the doubles match in which Budge and C. Mako won from Lott and Sabin, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4* 6-1. Budge was obviously not exerting himself against ■ Sabin. However, in the doubles, both he and Mako were trying hardT but were guilty of plenty of errors. ' ~ The choice of tHe player for .the other singles assignment is; proving difficult. B. M. Grant beat F. A. Parker" decisively on Saturday, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1. Parker's-slump in form continued on Sunday,' but despite many errors he and Grant tied. Grant won the first set B'-l, Parker the second 6-2, and the score was 4-4 in. the third when rain stopped play. American writers were outspoken in articles today, stating /that Ambrica has no chance; of winning unless the players improve markedly.
