Show A guy went out to fish one day V - And noon he fell asleep, they ay; V 11 made a roar r.-A Whoa he did snoro fA5ytJrfrfS5 And so the fishes swam away. I ,The Yankee Davis cup team Has mowed tho British lawn They did It with their racquets, A gasp replaced the yawn. The blommlng' bloody Yankoe1 Have gone the bloody route They met tho bloody blighters And wiped the bloomers out. 'They may not beat Australia, They may lose the Davis cup But We'll always remember How they ate the blighters up. l , Whoopla! That was some army Uncle Sam sent to Europe and some 1 Davis cup team, also. I ' ' ' Making the finals In the EngllBh tourney an all-American show was hard to bollovo and hard to take by the Wimbledon hosts. I ' ' ' The English have monlckered Johnson John-son and Tllden "Big Bill" and "Little Bill." Tho two Bills stand out about as big as Big Do" and ' Little Do, ' the famous Doherty brothers did. when England stood supreme In tennis. The British flock to the tennis matches In nearly tho same proportion that Americans patronize the world series In baseball. Tho greatest stars In the tenuis sport are assembled at Wimbledon. Australia Aus-tralia has 113 Pattersons, France Its Gobert and Dccurgls, and South Africa, Afri-ca, Rumania and Japan have tholr cracks. One English critic ompares Johnston's John-ston's dizzy drives to the Bob Fltfislm-mons' Fltfislm-mons' punch. Season tlckctB lo the tennis matches were all sold out as early as last January, Janu-ary, and cannot bo bought now except at ridiculously high prices. Big Bill's punch and Little Bill's speed have quickly made converts out of the foreign galleries. |
