GERMANY AND DAVIS CUP
Tilden Sees Excellent Chance
MATCH AGAINST
AUSTRIA
Paris, To-day. William ("Big Bill") Tilden, the United States tennis veteran, fan- cies Germany's chances of winning the Davis Cup this year.
In a press interview, Tilden stat- ed that Baron Gottfried von Cramm was not likely to be beaten by any other Davis Cup player and should always be certain of gaining two matches for Germany.
In the von Cramm-Henkel
com-
bination, he said, Germany had a doubles pair that was almost un- beatable.
Tilden also forecast that Aus-
tralia would beat the United States in their forthcoming Davis Cup en- counter.-Trans-Ocean.
