CONVERTIBLE BOND
ISSUES ARE WEAK
U. S. Group Is Lower as
High-Priced Securities
Show Losses.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 13.-With
over $80,000,000 of industrial and munic-
ipal bonds placed on the market today
and several large investment trusts and
trading corporation offerings imminent
there was severe competition for old
issues. To this factor was added that
of ragged stock market, which dis
turbed most of the convertible bonds.
The latter exhibited early weakness,
then they rallied, but later declined
as stocks were poured out into the mar
ket and lower levels established. In
ternational Telephone and American
Telephone 4l2s opened IA to 8 points
lower. The former later showed net
gain of points, but subsequently both
made substantial declines.
Commercial Investment Trust 52S,
Philadelphia &c Reading Coal & Iron 6s
and American I. G.. Chemical 5 rs act
ed we'll at the beginning of the day, but
did not hold their prices. General
Public Service Sizes were OIL lH2 points
and Kreuger & Toll SIS point. The
railroad and investment trust convert
ibles were quiet. New Orleans Public
Service SIS were at new lows. Keith IS
rallied 21a points more.
United States Government bonds and
Treasury certificates were lower. So
were quite a number of the high-grade
first mortgage corporation issues. Not
much change occurred in the foreign
list
Both of the Shell Union listed bonds
we're weak in competition with the new
$50,0O0,000 issue of per cent deben-
lures carrying warrants to buy common
stock of the corporation at $35 share.
Where corporation brings out a
straight debenture and follows 1T with
one with stock privileges, reaction in
the former is inevitable. In June the
Shell Union interests sold about S40,-
100000 of 5l2 per cent preferred stock,
also convertible into common.
Another interesting offering today was
that of S20.00o,000 New York revenue
notes, running from so to 80 days. These
were sold at prices to yield SIS, which
is equivalent to a taxable yield of over
6l5 per cent to corporations and to
75s per cent to individuals with an in
come of 100000 or more. This at
tracts funds from the call market, as
did the Treasury AS per cent tax
exempt notes. The Chicago Sanitary
District Az per cent bonds were offered
to yield 6 per cent for the August l,
1890. maturity. and from 5l2 to 5 per
cent for notes falling due in 1881 up to

1t was reported that Republic of Peru
had been granted a $5,000,000 short
term credit. The long-term bonds OF
Peru today were slightly higher.

U. S. TENNIS WOMEN
TO FACE VETERANS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 10-England is
sending veteran women's tennis team
to compete against the United States in
the seventh annual Wightman Cup Sc
ries at Forest Hills August and 10.
In the British lineup will be Mrs.
Dorothy G. Shepherd Barron, Mrs
Phyllis H Covell, Mrs. Peggy Saunders
Michel, Mrs. Phoebe Watson and Betty
Nuthall.
In the doubles the British team will
be exceptionally strong. Mrs. Watson
and Mrs. Michel, Wimbledon cham
pion, probably will form one combina-
ton and Mrs. Covell and Mrs. Shop
herd Barron, runners-up at Wimbledon,
another. But in singles the United
States will hold the upper hand with
Helen Wills and Helen Jacobs as the
principal hopes. The complete United
States lineup has not been announced.
England evened the series at three
all on British soil last year. The series
consists Of i've singles and two doubles
matches.
The British team will sail from South
ampton on July 20 and expect to take
part in one or two grass court tourna-
ments before the Wightman Cup series.
Then they plan to participate In the
women's and mixed doubles Champion
ships and In team matches at Chicago,
Kansas City, San Francisco and Los
Angeles.

DOUBLES
BY LONG TEAMING
Have Paired Regularly for
Two Seasons to Become
Smooth Combination.

Americans looking to the future in
Davis Cup tennis can take great deal
of hope from the victory Of John Van
Ryn and Wilmer Allison in the doubles
at Wimbledon. Both Van Ryn and
Allison are in their early 20s, with
their best years before them, and they
should be really great team in few
years more. They are that now, when
they are right" but they have not yet
developed their game to the point where
they are consistent enough. For that
reason it may be that they will not be
called on TO play in the Davis Cup
doubles this year, as many people be-
lieve they should.
When they are in top form these
two young game cocks, one from New
Jersey and the other from Texas. are ir-
reSisttble. Down in Pinehurst this year
they played the same kind of tennis
doubles, fairly numbering a Canadian
team.
Should Be Emulated.
The example of Van Ryn and ALI
son should be followed by other younger
players. For two years they have played
doubles with each other regularly, and
they are now one of the smoothest
working combinations in the game.
Fhey have their of days when their
SIIokeS may not De going right, but
there is nothing ever wrong with their
team work. They coordinate per-
fectly. and it would be fine thing for
the doubles game in the United States
II there were more young players join
ing up like this.
Van Ryn did not do as well in the
singles at Wimbledon as / had hoped.
but it was his first year of play there
and too much could not be expected
of him. I predict that when he meets
Brugnon again, the result will not be
the same
The Jersey youth played better ten
mis- each day the tournament progressed
and against Tilden and Hunter in the
semi-fnals and against the English
pair, Collins and Gregory, in the finals,
he burned up the courts.
I have said before, and I repeat it
now: There is no better Davis Cup pros
pect in the United States than Van
Ryn. He has the game to reach the
top and, best Of all. he has the tenpers-
ment and the seriousness of purpose
You can't keep player down when he
has all that.

Women in Sport
BY CORINNE FRAZIER.

JUNIOR tennis players have been
inQuiring about the date of the
annual junior tennis champion
~ ship which was held the latter
part of June last year at the
Chevy Chase Club.
1t was noticed by the committee at
the time that many of the junior play
ers who had figured prominently in
school tournaments during the Spring
and should have made strong bids for
the District title, were unable to COM
pete because of absence from the city
or preparations for an immediate de-
parture on Summer vacations. So 1t
was decided to try holding the event
either at an earlier or later date this
year, and since the City OF Washing
ton championships and the women's
league tournaments occupied the time
and attention of players and officials
as we'll during the early part OF June,
1t has been decided to run the junior
event for girls early In September after
most of the players have returned to
the city, but before school actually gets
under way.
II the junior racketers who are inter-
ested in having the event and could
compete in September, would signify
thenr interest by sending into this col
umn their own names and those OF any
of their absent friends whom they think
would care to play, 1t would be OF ma
terial assistance in making arrange
ments for the event. 3.
No formal entries will be taken as yet,
but the committee would like to know
how much interest there Is among the
local junior players in this competition
which, in other cities, Is considered OF
paramount importance and eagerly an
ticipated by the youngsters in whose
hands rests the future Of women's ten
mis-,
Shall washington produce some of'thc
stars of the next decade?
We have plenty of raw material here
girls with possibilities as great as any
of those who are scaling the heights in
Boston, Philadelphia and the cities OF
the Far West. But that material won't
develop in a dark corner all by itself-it
must be exposed to the strengthening
rays Of competition-the only medium
through which player can gain a
critical analysis Of her own game, and
seeing the faults, can set about eliminat-
ing them.
There is no time in the career of a
tennis player that competition is so
valuable as during her Junior years.
Then her game Is in the forma-
tive stage-rnalleable-e shaped
into championship mold. If Washing
ton wants to hold prominent place in
the women's net ranks of the future, the
time to begin Ia now-the people to be-
gin. are the Junior tennis players of
1929, and logical starting point is a
junior championship Of the District. So,
its UP to you, juniors, to rally to the

Phelan picked UP to more strokes
But Phelan ran into trouble on the

CLAY COURT TITLE
IS TAKEN BY PARE
Georgetown Netman Is Sent
Five Sets to Beat Hall
in Stirring Match.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Y INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 10-De-
feated in his bid for the national
clay court singles championship,
L J. Gilbert Hall of South Orange,
N. j., today paired with Fritz
Mercur of Bethlehem, Pa, In an effort
to win the doubles title in final match
with Ben Gorchakoff and Arthur Kt1SS-
man, both Of Los Angeles.
Emmett Pare of Chicago, a youthful
veteran Of the courts, yesterday pro-
vided q fitting climax to q tournament
in which upsets played large part,
when he defeated Hall for the singles
championship in five sets, Ga, 6-3,
the favorite because of his earlier VIC
tory over Mercur, highest ranking play
er in the United States at present.
Pare, Western champion, had played
two sets earlier in the day to win an
unfinished seHni-final match with
Bryant M. Grant Of Atlanta, Ga. He
returned to the courts to exhibit q bril-
liant game against Hall. The Eastern
er was outsteadied, Pare's accurate
placements and efhcient forecount game
turning the balance.
1t took Hall two sets to learn that
Pare must be kept In the back court,
base line repeatedly in his attempts to
prevent the Chicagoan from taking the
net for placements. Only in his eff
cient service did Hall have the edge.
The closeness of the battle for the
crown last held In 1927 by Bill Tilden
is shown In q composite point score
of the five sets. Pare won 149 points
to Halls 1873 for a winning margin Of
II in the Ave sets.
But for an error in Judgment by
Grant, his semi-final opponent, Pare
might have reached the final round.
When rain Monday interfered> for the
second time with the Grant-Pare
match, Grant had a lead OF two sets
to one and the games were deuced, IL
all, in the fourth set. Yesterday the
players decided to start the fourth set
anew. The 1s-year-old Albanian won
the first two games. enough to have
given him the match.
Gorchakoff and Kussman won their
way into the doubles final with a Ave
set victory yesterday over Berkeley Bell,
Austin. Tex, and Louis Thalheimer,
Chicago. Scores were 60. 6--8. 2-6,
81, 7-5. Hall and Mercur profised
by default when Wray Brown of st.
Louis and Harris Coggeshall Of Des
Moines were unable to remain for COM
pletion Of the rain-delayed tourney.
