BY ". BOYCE MORGAN.

Johnny Oliver, local boys tennis champion loses
his chance to try for the state title because MT
Leighton, chairman of the Longbrook Tennis Club,
send him to the tournament. This is Mr.. Leightons
way of getting revenge Johnny because Johnny
let ball get loose the court while he was play
ing in match. and Mr.. Leighton suffered a humil-
iating fall as result. DR.. Jim Darrow who has
befriended Johnny. prepares for the approaching
ton, present champion. But on the day before the
tourney DR.. Jim sprains his ankle while working on
charity case. Unable to play himself. he arranges
for Johnny to take his place in the mems singles,
and to play with his sister, Sissy, in the mixed
doubles. Johnny learns that his first round singles
match is scheduled for 1890 in the morning the
first day of the tournsment, while he and Sissy
ing champions. in the first round mixed doubles
match that afternoon.

IE met Sissy afterward but they could not
! ! find vacant court for practice. However.
they had played together enough already to be
familiar with each others game. There was
nothing for it but to wait until O'Clock for
their match with the city champions.
The match was played on No. court, and
good crowd filled the stands attracted by
chance to watch Leighton and Miss Worthing-
ton perform Had DR.. Jim been the fourth
player on the court, standing room would have
been at premium. but when it was learned
that Sissy had mere boy a partner she
was conceded little chance to win.
Before the match was very old, the specta-
tors were tense and excited. Something un-
forseen and altogether startling was happening.
Sissy Darrow and that darned kid Johnny
Oliver" were playing such tennis as had seldom
been seen in city tournament. In fact, they
we're playing such startling game that they
actually won the first SET Ga, and were lead
ing in the second 2-1.
Down on the court, Johnny was moving in
something of a daze. Every once in while
player will have day when he doesn't seem
able to miss. Johnny was having such day.
His first serves were hitting the corners every
time, and his drive was Skimming the net, hit
ting the top wire and taking hops that no
opponent could possibly get Luck was perched
on his shoulder. and he was playing 1t to the
limit, with Sissy contributing a stellar per-
formance on her side of the court He could

INSTALLMENT Nv.

Johnny hung up the receiver and glanced
at the clock. 1t was now $50, and he
was scheduled to play a man named
Tupper, whom he had never heard Of,
at 10:30. Five minutes later Johnny
was on his way to the club
He found the courts alive with people. First
round matches in all divisions of the tourna-
ment were starting that morning, and dozens
of men and women were getting what practice
they could in the crowded courts.
Johnny hurried to the bulletin board, where
the entry lists were posted, and examined them.
He found more than so men entered in the
singles, representing the best players of the
city. Those Of less ability were discouraged
from entering this tournament. The women's
singles list smaller. and he noticed that
Sissy and Miss Worthington were so placed
that they would probably meet in the finals.
He realized that Sissy was now engaged in her
first round singles match, scheduled at nine.
He went out to watch it. but saw only the
last few games Of a one-sided contest which
Sissy won, GO, Go. Then he found oppor-
tunity to hit few on the practice court before
meeting Tupper for his own match at 1890.
Tupper turneo out to be tall, rangy left
handed player. Johnny didn't like left
handlers, but he had learned not to let any
thing worry him in a match. Tupper had a
powerful serve, and chop stroke that was
confusing because it bounded wrong, but by
the middle of the first set Johnny found how
to handle him. AS result it didn't take long
for him to advance to the second round with
his first victory won, Ga, 6-1.

NORRIS SLEADS TURN

By the Associated Press.
Republican independents in the Sen
ate, led by George w. Norris of Ne
braska, yesterday swung toward the
Democratic camp of Franklin D. Roose-
velt as third party talk dissolved into
thin air.
NebraSkas veteran leader Of the in
dependent group definitely announced
in formal statement that he would
bolt his party and support the Demo-
cratic nominee, while several OF his
colleagues took guarded steps in the
same direction.
Leaders of the Western independent
group expressed elation at Roosevelt s
nomination and agreed it put an end to
any possibility of a third party move
ment.
Senator Borah, Republican, Of Idaho.
who has said he will not support Presl-
dent Hoover on the party platform, re-
fused to comment publicly on Roose-
velt's victory, but his friends regarded
it an unlikely that he would follow Nor
rls in supporting the Democratic noml-
nee.
None of the other members of the
independent group announced support
Of Roosevelt, but Senators Frazier and
Nye of North Dakota both said they
would not support Hoover.
Senator Brookhart, Republican, OF
Iowa, said he might have statement
within a few days, and Senator La
Toilette, Republican, Of Wisconsin, re-
fused to comment Most OF the others
were out of the Capital for the week end.
The Norris bolt came as no surprise,
as he supported the Democratic nomi-
nee, Alfred E. Smith, in 1928, and had
indicated he would be for Roosevelt if
he were nominated.
The Norris statement follows:
II did not support Hoover before and
the reasons I gave then for refusing
to support him have been vindicated by
his official actions since.
Il expect to support Roosevelt. The
fundamental principle involved in the
coming presidential campaign is the
contest between organized monopoly on
the one side and the common people
on the other.
I'm my opinion, millions of progress
Sive- minded citizens all over the United
States will take similar action and sup
port Gov. Roosevelt because they believe
he stands for the welfare of the COM
mon people"
Frazier, when asked by newspaper
men If he would support Roosevelt,
said:
Before I would want to support him
I would have to have a definite state
ment of what he stands for on lot Of
things that are not clear at the present
time"
Frazier added that he referred prin-
cipally to agriculture and Roosevelt's
stand on assuring cost of production
and relieving farm debts.
Nye said the Democrats had "evi-
IDENTIFY picked their best man, the one
who gives the Democratic party its best
chance for victory"
Nye previously had announced he
could not support Hoover this Fall in
view of the administrations record on
farm relief.
II think the best thing for me to do
is tell North Dakota I'm through pick
ing presidential candidates" Nye said.
Il picked presidential candidate for
them in 1928, and once was enough.
I'll never do it again"

party. but did not know what would be
discussed He refused to comment on
suggestions that he run for President as
the candidate Of the prohibition party.
II don't know anything about it ex-
cept that he wanted to see me tomor-

The IdahoanS friends were confident,
however, that he would not accept the
proposal. Borah has long held the view
that a third party movement would
have to be built on economic grounds
rather than on the prohibition issue.
Furthermore, his friends pointed out,
he as well as other independent Re-
publicans in the Senate, have held the
view that the nomination of Franklin
D. Roosevelt as Democratic candidate
for President, would remove the urge
for third party movement.
