NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-There
will be an all-American semi-final
round, almost as sure as death
and decay, when the ultimate four
survivors of the national cham
pion in tennis singles are called
to the barrier tomorrow. Of the
original sixty-fuor starters, twelve
were foreigners and four of them
were the champions of France,
Australian, Japan and England,
the leading tennis nations outside
of America. Yet the show down
finds two invaders remaining in
the field, Manuel Alonzo, of Spain,
and Rene Lacoste, of France, and
the betting is brisk that they are
not long for this life.
\ Alfonso has been coupled with Bill
Johnston in the, fourth round this
afternoon, which means that he is
due to take one on sne competitive
chin. Lacnste, by long odds the
best of the foreign field and may
