American Hopes ShouIdered

By GEORGE KIRKsEY


FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. TO-
SiXty-four tennis players from nine
nations were entered in the national
singles championship tournament,
which opened today on the West
Side courts.
Neither of last years finalists,
William T. Tilden II. nor Rene La
Coste, were entered. Tilden, barred
from amateur tennis because Of a
violation of the player-writer rule,
attended the tournament as a full
fledged scribe. La Coste, 1926 and
1927 champion, declined to return
to this country to defend his title.
Seven other dashing Gauls, led
by Henri Cochet, were Lere in quesS
of the title, and Americas chances
in this tournament are in direct
ratio to the ability of the younger
generation to repell the invading
Frenchmen.
George Lott and John HennesSey
rose to the heights to defeat Cochet
and Brugnon and Hawkes. and Pats
terson recently and save the Na-
tional Double title. The task OF
beating back the foreign contingent
rested largely upon the youthful
shoulders of these two Westeners
who won their spurs on the 1923
United States Davis Cup team.
Besides Lott and Hennesseyv
Americas outstanding young players
included John Van Ryn, Wilmer Al-
liSon, Johnny Doeg, frank Shields
Fritz Mercur, Junior Coen and julius
Sellyson.

day we're:
