SURREY WINS CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP
AMERICAN DAVIS CUP HOPES NOT SO BRIGHT
Captain Of Team Wants To Resign
New York, Feb. 1.
As though the loss of Donald Budge were not a crushing enough blow to future American Davis Cup hopes, it now appears likely that Captain Walter Pate, the little Wall Street lawyer who has coached and coun- selled the American boys to victory for the past two years, may be miss- ing from Davis Cup clrcles next
summer.
Mr. Pale has asked Mr. Holcombe Ward, Prealdent of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, to appoint another Davis Cup captain. His reason is that he wishes to get back to his law practice and devote
more time to it.
"I'm simply worn out. I've been away from home and out of the ulice for about three months in cach of the last four years. I've enjoyed every minute of it, but now I feel it's somebody else's turn," he told London, Jan. 23.
