THE DAVIS CUP GERMANY’S TEAM BERLIN, March 8. Germany’s most likely Davis Cup players in the singles are Moldenhauser and Dr. Landman, who last year defeated Richards and Kinsey. Players in the doubles will probably be Kleinschrett and Berbmann, but Frmetizheim, who nearly defeated Brooks in 1914 at Wimbledon, is over 40 and is unlikely to reappear internationally. NO DROUGHT SUZANNE IN U.S.A NEW YORK, March 5 Cables from Paris quote Suzanne Lenglen as saying that she never drank so much in her life as when she was in prohibition America. SHOT AT FRENCH STAR’S ESCAPE MOTOR CAR RIDDLED LONDON, March 5. The Monte Carlo correspondent of “The Daily Mail” telegraphs that unknown persons last night fired three shots from a distance of ten yards at the motor car in which Henri Cochet, the French international tennis player, his wife, and Lady Wavertree, wife of the famous English horsebreeder, were returning from a cinema. No one was injured, though each of the three bullets pierced the car. HAPPY “PRO” SUZANNE’S PURSE EUROPEAN TOUR NEXT HAVRE, March 6. Mddle. Suzanne Lenglen, still the heart-whole and the possessor of a purse of £15,000, arrived from America after a stormy passage. She was greeted by tennis players and enthusiasts. “The trip was most successful, and I am content to remain a professional,” she said. “Professionalism has come to stay. I am starting a European tour, and will give an exhibition in London in the summer; but I will not play at Wimbledon. ’ ’
