DAVIS CUP MATCH.'
America v. Germany.
Paris, July 24. Before a decidedly hostile crowd. the American Davis Cup tennis team clinched the victory over Germany by three matches to two here to-day and gained the right to play France for the coveted trophy.
The crowd was so hostile to: the Americans that there was very nearly a rlot at one point during the Vines-Von Cramm
match when the spectators thought the American star was favoured by a doubtful de- cision.

The hostility recalled that displayed by. French spec tators during the 1924 Olymple games when the exploits of American athletes were hissed and booed. The reason' in the

From the start the two fighters mauled and slugged, engaging in a free exchange of blows, and the Spaniard's blows proved effec- tive in the early rounds..
The bout, however, was slow and uninteresting, demonstrating that Jack Sharkes, newly crowned world's heavyweight Champion," has nothing to fear from either battler.
Schaaf appeared fresh, as the last gong sounded despite the tre- mendous amount of punishment he received at the hands of the Basque early in the encounter. The lat ter was tired and almost helpless."
