Frankie Parker Replaces Grant Milwaukee Lad Picked to Meet Bunny Austin in Davis Cup Finals Saturday
London, July 23.-(AP)-The United States benched Bryan M. (Bitsy) Grant, of Atlanta, Friday and nominated Frankie Parker, of Milwaukee, for the opening singles match of the challenge round for the Davis tennis cup.
Parker will play Henry Wilfred (Bunny) Austin at Wimbledon Saturday. The second singles match will follow immediately with Don Budge, of Oakland, Calif., opposed to Charles F. Hare.
For the doubles match to be played Monday, the United States nominated Budge and Gene Mako, of Los Angeles. The British doubles selections were C. R. D. Tuckey and F. H. D. Wilde. Both teams were instructed they could change their doubles selections up until an hour before match time.
The pairings will be reversed for the final singles matches Tuesday with Parker and Hare in the lead-off position.
The dope heavily favors the United States to win the cup for the first time since it was lost to France at Germantown, Pa., in 1927. France held the cup until 1933 when Great Britain won it, to hold it ever since.
