DAVIS CUP FORECAST ST. LOUIS, March 12. F. J. Perry, in an interview, predicted that Australia would win the Davis Cup by defeating Germany in the final series. He said the chances of Australia against the United States would rest chiefly with John Bromwich. The Germans’ advantage over Britain would be because of Austin, who could not be expected to carry the British team alone. Perry said the winner of the American zone should defeat Germany, because van Gramm and Henkel would be at a disadvantage on grass courts.
