PARKER PLAYS HIS FINEST GAME
Budge Beats Austin
PLAY DESCRIBED Frankie Parker, America's youngest Davis Cup player, and of Mercer famous protege Beasley, the brilliant American coach, rose'nobly to the occasion when he opposed Charles Hare of Britain in the vital Davis Cup tie at Wimbledon yesterday, and, of his playing the best game career, beat the Englishman in straight sets to win back the Cup for United States.
Subsequently, with nothing vital attached to the result, Donald Budge Way by. continued his triumphant beating H. W. Austin after a four-set match.
Thus the Davis Cup, donated by Mr. to United Dwight Davis, returns States after an absence of 11 years..
A crowd of ten thousand excited and expectant enthusiasts gathered at the Centre Court yesterday to watch Parker play the finest tennis of his career, says a United Press message.
The American surprisingly crashed past Hare, the young Englishnian who on Saturday had forced Budge to a 15-13 first set, to win 6-2, 6-4, 0-2. Parker attacked relentlessly und even

Budge played anything but con- fidently, and was shaky, in the first two sets, frequently losing his service. But in the third and fourth sets he regained his true form and won 8-G, 3-0, 0-4, 0-3.

In a description of yesterday's Davis Cup tennis, Router observes that Great Britain lost the cup after United holding it for four
