NEW YORK. July 2S.-Watch
Willis Davis! Paste this young mans
name in your hat as coming ma,
tional singles and Davis cup tennis
star! /.
These tips are going the rounds
among devotees of tennis today and
with Davis in the East and big ten
mis- fixtures coming on apace, they
will be worth remembering.
San Francisco has contributed
Davis to tennis. He comes from
the native heath of three former
Amrican national champions--Mau-
ray and William M. Johnston--all
sons of California. And he comes
highly respected for his prowess on
the courts.
Tall. youthful. almost as lanky
as Bill Tilden. and constantly i'm.
proving his style Of play, Davis will
bear watching AS far back as 1919
he was number in the national
ranking Then came the war and
Davis went into service. In 1913 he
was not ranked, but the following
year he was thirteenth in the list.
and last year he was fifth among
the nations ranking players.
Davis most favorable impression
on Eastern fans was made in 1919
when at Southampton in the semi
final round of the invitation singles
he fairly swept the great Norman
Il. Brookes from the court. winning
the hardest fought match OF the
tourney 10, 81, 1912. Broohes at
that time. predicted great things for
Davis, ius' as h" later ir"dic'e ell that
rilden would win his place in inter
national tennis.
