AMERICAN DAVIS CUP

CUP DEBACLE: ITS REASONS

CARNERA TO FIGHT

MAX BAER AGAIN

BOUT PROMISED FOR SEPT.

ITÀLIAN VERY EAGER

London.

Primo Carners, who was so sensationally defeated by Max Baer in New York, is battered but not disheartened and he is definitely not finished with the ring yet. Ho is to have á chance to get his revenge next September when, according to Luigi Soresi, hia manager, Baer has promised him a rotura fight.

The glant Italian has also had offers of fights against Jack Peter-" son, the British heavyweight cham. plon. In London, Pauline Uzcudun, the Spanish heavyweight champion, in Barcelona, and Max Schmeling, fortner world's heavyweight cham- plon, in Milan. Carner, however, is not returning to Europa yet.

The giant Italian will not be able to walk for some time, declares his docter. His ankle is at least badly sprained and several liga- ments aro torn.

According to Soresi, if it had not been for this injury, which occurred during a knock-down in the Arst round, resulting in his hardly being able to keep his feet, Carners would have won.

When Clifford Sutter, disappointed at being ignored for America's Davis Cup team this year. wrote that it would be a miracle if they won the trophy from Britain, he was rightly taken to task for the effort. Yet it will require something of a miracle if the United States are now to survive their Inter-Zone final tie with Australia. The Aussics, thanks to magnificent performances by Jock Crawford and Vivian McGrath, are in the sound strategic and moral position of being two rubbers up on the first day's play.
