Stars Swing Into
Action Tomorrow
French and Australian Ten.
mis- Players Scheduled for
Seabright Challenge Bowls
By Fred Hawthorne

The greatest of the invitation tour
naments to be held this season, in fact,
one of the most important within my
recollection for the last ten years, will
begin tomorrow afternoon on the his
toric turf courts of the Seabright Lawn
Tennis and Cricket Club, at Sea-
bright, l.. l.
Not only will most of the best play
ers in this country, men and women,
compete for the famous Seabright
challenge bowls, but Gerald Patterson,
J. O. Anderson, Pat O'Hara Wood and
R. c. Wertheim, composing the Austria
lasian Davis Cup team, who arrived in
this city last Tuesday, and the French
Davis Cup team will enter the struggle
for the honors.
In the women's singles and doubles
the galleries will have the opportunity
of seeing in action such world fame Gus
players as Mrs. Mola Bjurstedt NAL
lory, national champion; Mrs. May Sut-
ton Bundy, Of California, former ma
tional and worlds champion; Mrs.
Marion Zinderstein Jessup, former ma
tional doubles title holder; Miss Ell
eanor Goss, Mrs. Jessup's champion
uOuDitS pdItuClI MISS Leslie bancroft,
Of Longwood, Rhode Island title holder,
and Miss Martha Bayard Miss Helen
Wills, Miss Edith Sigourney, Miss Mar
guerite Davis and Miss Ceres Baker.
Reserved grandstand seats for the
week have had tremendous advance
sale, but these and daily admission
tickets will be sold on the grounds
each day, beginning tomorrow after
noon. Mems singles and doubles,
women's singles and doubles and mixed
doubles will be played.
Famous Trophy at Stake
In the mems singles the new Sea-
bright Bowl will be in competition,
Richard Norris Williams I'd, former
national champion, having won the
original trophy known as the Achelis
Cup outright in 1916, after it had
been played for for fifteen years. Til
den, Johnston and Watson NJ Wash
burn each have won leg on the new
bowl.
The twin Seabright bowls will be
in competition in She mems doubles.
They were won in 1919 by Tiden and
Vincent Richards, by Washburn and
Beals C. Wright, in 1920. and by
Washburn and Williams last year.
The Seabright Challenge Bowl for
ion Znderstein Jessup and last year
by Mrs. Mallory.
Bemon S. Prentice, president of
the Seabright Club, informed me yes
terday that William NJ. Johnston, of
California, former national champion
and member of the victorious Davis
Cup team of the last two years, has
been seeded into the opposite side of
the draw from Patterson, and if these
two great players come through into
the final round, as seems likely, the
resulting fve-set match should pro-
vide one of the most thrilling strug
But when you consider that men like
Williams, Vincent Richards, Willis
Davis, Robert and Howard Kinsey, of
CALIFORNIA;; Lawrence B. Rice, j. 0. An
derson and Pat OHara Wood, of the
Australasian. Davis Cup team, and
Cochet, Borotra, Colbert and Sama-
zeuilh, of the French international
challenge team, will be competing for
the challenge cups, it is not difficult to
realize that the men who gain the final
round brackets will only have achieved
that end by playing super-tennis.
Tilden and Williams Absent
Tilden will be about the only player
of prominence in this country who will
be absent at Seabright this week. He
feels that he needs week Of rest be-
fore preparing for the final condition
ing process that leads to the Davis Cup
and national championship meetings.
Prentice states that the following
men have been seeded" in the singles:
Johnston, Richards, Williams, Wash
burn, Patterson, Anderson, Wood and
Shimizu. The following women have
been Seeded: Mrs. Mallory, Mrs.
Jessup, Mrs. Bundy and Miss Leslie

of the French team, but provision has
