TOREST HILLS, N. Y, September
r. 4-George Martin Lott, jr., of
Chicago, the Davis Cup doubles
veteran, is rated by no less a
talented performer than Ellsworth
Vines as having the best chance of
dethroning Fred Perry, the sparkling
Eriton, in the current mems national
singles tennis championship.
Vines, twice winner of the national
crown and a professional since the
first Of the year, based his calculation
on the belief that ''it will take heady
player as we'll as an able SHOEMAKER
to defeat Perry"
George has both-the shots and a
smart, quick-acting BRAIN" Vines said
today.
Perry Respects Lott.

as being little dubious about
his chances against Lott. If form
holds true they'll probably meet in
the fourth round and their match

Perry can be taken, but not very
easily. I'm not breaking faith or con-
fdence when say that Lott can beat
Fred by drilling away at Perry's back
hand, and throwing a flock of drop
shots at him.
I'm my opinion, Lott is the head

take prompt advantage of it.

George Lott" they replied In
chorus.
Lott isn't Vines choice to win the
championship, however The lean
and lanky Californian's mind isn't
made up on that point.
There are too many youngsters to
be reckoned with today" he said. "It
wouldn't surprise me at all If young
Frankie Parker was in the semi finals,
or, for that matter, the finals. He
has the possibilities of developing into
the best player in the land"

only four of them can play at the
same time, since three pairs play the
same positions. The backfield, weak
ened by Young's loss, will have plenty
of power after the rough edges have
been polished. The fullback post,
shot by injuries and illness for four
seasons, will be strengthened by the
return of George Melinkovich, Don

Carideo, cousin of the famous Frank.

Portend No Good for

BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, september 4.-Th1s
M sloop, Endeavour, challenger
| for the Americas Cup, is a
dangerous craft. She gives
more evidence of power, general
hardness and an ability to foot
swiftly than any cup challenger the
writer has ever seen.
This impression has been gained
through observation of her ability
to eat up distance between herself
and any of the American sloops she
has chosen to trail.
A boat sailing alone can mislead
those aboard of her and those watch
ing her from other craft. But, when
she sets herself astern of another
windjammer and follows the same
course for half an hour or so, the
results are revealing.
