season, before the latter had gained
anything Ike his best form with both
of them at top notch it would be q
rare battle OF the courts were the two
to face each other in the singles.
Not one of US who has watched
Kari Behr storm through match is
ever likely 10 forget the picture. There
was never a more picturesque player
on the courts than this fiery, tempera-
mental Internationally, and there have
been few, very few. as brilliant.
Equally gifted IN singles and doubles,
Behr always makes tremendous battle
in all his matches. Going after every
point with a consuming FIRE and a grim
determination to win. he is one of the
finest sportsmen the game knows.
Could there be higher praise?
Expect Behr to Enter
Behr is expected to enter at Sea-
bright, and it Will mean much to the
game if he plays. The old Yale star
has not taken part in tournament play
for almost three years, due to illness
and to his war work, but his appear
ance with Theodore R: PeIl his old
doubles partner, at Greenwich last
week indicates that he will compete
FOR the rest of the season.
Pell and Walter Merrill Hall, Niles
and Alexander, are familiar figures al
seabr ght, and Will be on hand this
week, along with many others who
have made history on the courts. But
q new element viii be found in the
tourney this year in the presence Of
some of the most brilliant juniors in
the country. Vincent Richards, who
holds half dozen national cham pion-
ships, in spite Of his sixteen years;
Frank I. Anderson. Richards's closest
rival Harold l.. Taylor, Fred c. An
derson and others Of the first flight
Youngsters Will be on hand to pit their
speed and youth against the steady
skill Of the veterans.
Let me not forget Ichiya Kumagae,
the amazing little Japanese who has
been moving down all opposition for
the last few weeks, with victories over
Iilden, Murray and Noshell in recent
matches on his record Knmagae's
same loses something Of its speed and
9 *ctiveness on vurf courts, and he

Williams, Tilden and Pos
sibly Bellr and Austria
lians in W eek's Tourney
BY F red Hawthorne

The men of the courts Will gather
down at Seabright, n j.. tomorrow TO
begin play III the annual Seabright
Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club invita-
tion singles and doubles tournament. in
what promises to be one of the notable
events of the current tennis season.
Until a week ago it was hoped that
Norman f.. Brookes, Gerald Patterson
and the other members Of the Austria
lasian Davis Cup defending team would
arrive in this country in time to com
pete at Seabright, but now hope seems
to have gone agllmmcring although it
is SILL possible that the men from the
antlpodes may get to the New Jersey
club in time to play some exhibition
matches on the final day of the tourney.
But even without the added zest Of
international flavor the field that viii
start play tomorrow will include many
of the greatest players in the United
States. Richard Norris Williams. I'd.
of Boston. who held the national sin
giles title in 1914 and 1915, years in
which he dethroned Mclaughlin and
Johnston, respectively, will be among
the foremost of the stars al Seabright.
Williams won permanent possession Of
the famous Achelis Challenge Cup in
1915, the last year in which the tour
ney was held, conquering Karl Behr in
the challenge round, after thrilling
match.
Offer New Trophies
Bernon S. Prentice, chairman Of the
tournament committee at Seaoright
has announced that new challenoe cups
will be offered this season in both
singles and doubles, to be known as
the Seabrght Challenge Cups. Par
ticular attention Will be given to the
Seabright doubles in the future. with
the dea of bringing out the best teams
n the country and encouraging the
younger players to form new combina-
tions that wall play together perma-
nently.
William 7. Tilden, 2d, of Philadel-
phia, perhaps the nearest approach to
Williams in brilliance Of stroke and
spectacular play, will be another star

Coast Swimmers Proud
OF Ross Great Record

The excellent showing made by Nor
man Ross. the Pacific Coast swimmer
and former member of the Olympic
Club of this city, in the Allied games
held in France, did not surprise his
San Francisco friends, who freely had
predicted he would maintain his repu-
.ation
The fact that he won every swim
ming event in which he was entered is
held as additional proof by these
friends that their claim that Ross is
one Of the greatest and most versatile
swimmers OF all time is not without
merit. While swimmers like Duke
Kahanamoku and others have been
world beaters in a few events in which
they have specialized, as, for instance,
the sprints, Ross has proved himself
n master swimmer in practically all
the distances-long and short.
