WIMBLEDON, England, June IL
European tennis critics, intensely
interested in the 1928 United States
Davis cup team, are inpatiently
awaiting the opening of the VIM
bledon championships here June 25
a week from next Monday
good Size-up of the American
tennis squad will be available. All
of the U. S. players are entered in
addition to Frances big four"
Henri Cochet, the defending men s
singles champion, Rene La Coste,
jacques Brugnon and Jean Borotra.
Francis t. Hunter, William T.
Tilden, John Hennessey, George
Lott and Junior Coen of the United
States are in the same division.
Hunter has been playing in Europe
for several weeks and critics agree
that his play is extremely formida-
BILE.
Tilden's slashing style Of attack is
well known here and the net au-
thoritieS will be striving to learn
whether Tilden has lost any of the
oPAOA4StAO 4OA44 WI44C11 4lldOC ill1ll UIl6
most feared player in the world.
Hennessey appeared here a few
years ago with Ray Casey and at
that time astonished Wimbledon
with his spectacular play. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the Indian
apolis youth has improved his play
a great deal and is one of the most
powerful players on the United
States squad.
Women stars from half a dozen
countries will vie for the singles
title held by Miss Helen Wills of
California and who will defend her
title this year. Betty Nuthall again
will be seen in action. Miss Wills
is practicing here at present.

Dave Surprised

DAVE PARRY, well known
- local amateur golfer, was
at the Coffin course Wednesday
and became greatly enthused
as he watched the long, straight
drives leave the first tee in The
Times schoolboy golf meet.
Dave, to console some youth
who might figure he was out of
the runr3ng, offered a special
prize for the player in sixty
second position of the qualify
ing list. Dave thought that
players score undoubtedly
would be over 10, but Dave
was fooled, for the siXty-second
score was ninety-seven, made
by John Vaughn of Cathedral.

Sheridan County Boy Wins
Prizes In California

Walter Rasmussen, son of County
Surveyor Rasmussen, who is sojourn-
ing in California this winter with his
mother and sister, wrote newsy let
ter to his father last week, telling of
his adventures in the sunny state.
Walter is attending school and has
taken part in many of the different
contests since his arrived. In two of
the most important contests he re-
ceived prizes.
In the drawing contest he took first
honors from a large list of contest
ants who were striving for the prize
given by the Oakland Tribune. 1t
was open to all California and Oregon
school children and the competition
was very keen. Walter has done
considerable drawing and thought he
would try for the prize, so he drew
what he calls three goofy guys in
robes looking at the sun with camels
standing around. After drawing the
picture, the young lad was not salts
fled with his effort and threw the
drawing to the floor, but Mrs. Ras-
mussen after seeing the drawing,
considered it very good and sent it
in. At the close of the contest a
letter was received by Walter, much
to his surprise, notifying him that
his drawing led the field and that the
Tip Top radium dial watch was his.
Walter wrote his father that he is
very proud of his new timepiece and
that he can see the tim as we'll at
night as in the daytime. The next
contest he entered was a Library con-
test which consisted of reading and
memorizing 40 different books in the
shortest time. This took a lot OF
hard work, but the young lad persist
ed although he was sick part of the
7 time and could not keep on with his
reading. He thought surely he was
out of the race and he was a very
much surprised boy when he received
notice that he had taken second place
Plentywood is proud of Walters rec
ord as it shows. great talent on thu
part of the Sheridan county lad anC
also a credit to the school systems o.
Plentywood and Sheridan county.
