Gerald Patterson and Jack Hawkes. are
of course well known to tennis follow
ers in the United States. But most OF
the members of the English team are
making their first visit here.
Young Austin is considered the best
of the English players. There Is only
one drawback to his reaching the
heights. and that is physical. He cam
not stand a hard fiVc-Set match, ana
unless / miss my guess this Will al
WAYS hold him back. Against LacoSte
at Wimbledon he played beautifully for
three sets. only TO be pitiful sight IN
the last set. The French title holder
ran him from side to side until ut last
It became question whether the rel
cree would have to make Austin stop
playing
The boy is only 81 and may overcome
this condition during the next few
years In addition TO skill with a rack
ct. one must be in perfect physical
condition. One can easily understand
this situation when we consider that
men like Tilden and Lacoste train all
the year refund and practice their
strokes every day.

GERMAN GIRL TENNIS
STARS IN SQUABBLE

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. August 21.-German ten
mis- interest has been transferred for
the moment from the playing courts to
the law courts, where Frau Aussem,
mother of the German woman tennis
champion, Cecile Aussem and Frau Won
Re2nicek couqueror OF Fraulein Aussem
in recent matches, are In litigation.
The legal actions grew out OF Frau
Aussem's charge that Frau Won Rezni-
eek employed hypnotic influence to de-
feat her daughter. Frau Won Reznicek
demanded retraction Of the charge
and when this was refused she soundly
boxed Frau Aussem's ears. Frau Aus
sem thefeupon entered suit for insult
ing assault and Frau Won Reznicek re-
taliated with action for defamation Of
character"
Frau Aussem made the original
charge in a letter to the president Of
the German Tennis Federation after
her daughters defeat in games on the
Riviera and at Breslau. Prior TO these
matches no German player had been
able TO conquer Cecile.
The tennis federation has disquali-
flied Frau von Reznicek for six weeks
pending investigation of the AFFAIR. She
has appealed from this penalty on the
ground that her pugilistic activity did
not constitute violation OF the tennis
rules. but was an act of self-defense,
necessary to restore her honor.

BY VINCENT RICHARDS,

American Professional Tennis Champion.
TIME cool, deliberate playing of
Rene LacoSte will be missed this
year at Forest Hills. The VIM
4 bledon titleholder has twice won
the United States national sim
giles championship. He needed only one
more victory to have his name inscribed
on the historic bowl along with those
OF other immortalS of the game who
have been fortunate enough to gain
three triumphS in this championship.
LacosteS reason for not coming to
America this year is simply that he is
going into his fathers business. and so
from now on will not be able to give
so much time to tennis. He wanted to
try just once more for the National
title. but he felt that he should follow
his fathers wishes.
However, the team selected by the
French Lawn Tennis Association to
come to the United States is mighty
strong. even without LacoSte. In state
ment the cher day Lacoste said that
he fully expected to see the team VIC
torious in its American matches,
Cochet and Borotra will, OF course.
carry tS,> heaviest burden so far as the
singles are concerned. But the younger
members Of the team, Landry, Brugnon,
BroSSus and DebuZlet, must not be
taken too lightly. Each plays an eX-
cellently rounded game, and during the
last two years all have become very
good match players.

hunter with a. gun in a gameless
country. Pyle did not make enough
money to encourage him to promote
another tour and none of the other
star players would consider the idea
OF turning professional. What with
newspaper writing and other pursuits
In which their plans were furthered by
their tennis regulations. there was no
good reason why they should.
Richards Leaoed at Chance.
So Vincents activities we're confined
to writing for the papers, wherein he
enjoyed no advantage over any simon
pure amateur When the American
Davis cup team went abroad Richards
left this barren field and went with
them In his capacity as a writer. And
when the opportunity Of transforming
with Kozeluh opened up, he remained
on the other side
There IL "ather a pathetic side to
Richards abandonment of amateurism
Today, without any question. he would
be the leading tennis player in the
United States with all the honors and
emoluments that accrue to an athletic
figure so prominent In the opinion OF
Mr. Wight;ran of Boston it is possible
for an OUTSTANDING amateur, such as,
for instance, Tilden. to earn between
$4,000 and $4,000 year as an anna
teur, whereas professional In this
country is lucky il he earns $4,000.
SO In listening to the siren voice of
Brother Pyle it would appear that VIM
cent was shortsighted. Dazzled by pros
poets Of quick money he neglected to
consider the demonstrated economic
fact that cash Of the sort very rarely
comes from any enduring source.
Az any rate those who admired his
