HARD ROAD AHEAD
OF WORLD CHAMP
Briton Must Thrust Aside
Dozen ContenderS, Most
of Them Yankees.

BY the Associated Press.
FOREST HILLS, N. Y. Septem-
- Der 1.-The three-ring circus Of
American tennis, the national
singles championship, opens in
the West Side Stadium today with an
outlander, Frederick John Perry Of
England, generally picked as the man
to win.
Champion of Great Britain and
Australia, leader of his country's all
victorious Davis Cup forces and de-
Tending title holder in this tourna-
ment. Perry has taken the world No. 1
ranking spot beyond dispute.
In the field of 88 rivals are at least
a dozen formidable contenders, in
Guiding Frank Shields, Wilmer Allison,
Lester Stoefen, Sidney Wood, frankie
Parker, George Lott and Bryan Grant
Of this country and Roderich Mcneil,
tall Czechoslovakian.
Most of the leaders drew f1rst-round
byes and will not play until Monday,
but Perry was slated to start his de-
tense against a local player, Carl
Schweikhardt. Allison's first-round foe
was the talented Washington young
ster, Gilbert Hunt. Lott, upset con-
queror of Shields in the Eastern grass
court tournament yesterday, drew
Marco Hecht, former junior champion,
from the University of Pennsylvania,
as his first test. Cliff Suffer was to
play the veteran Californian, Elmer
j. Griffin, and Stoefen anticipated no
trouble from Lieut.. James M. Far
rim, jr. ~.
Allison Held U. S. Hope. 1u
CHIELDS' setback at Lofts hands
y has served to lead some tennis
critics to pick Allison as the prin-
cipal American hope against Perry.
The Texan has come back this season
with great success and seems to be
playing about as well as he ever has.
Lott, likewise, may spring a surprise
or two before the tournament is over.
Among the matches of unseeded
players for the opening day were those
involving Wilmer Hines Of Columbia,
S. c., and Samuel B. Gilpin, I'd, of
Philadelphia; j. Gilbert Hall, South
Orange, N. j., and Donald Hawley,
New York; Eddie Jacobs, Baltimore.
vs. Ramsey Potts, jr, Memphis: John
McDiarmid, Fort Worth, VS.. Albert
Law, jr, New York; Robert Murray,
Montreal, VS.. DR.. Lawrence Kurrok,
Brooklyn; Arthur Hendrix, Lakeland,
Fla, vs. Luis de Olivares, Washington,
and Martin Buxby, Miami, VS.. Hunt T.

STURDINESS HELD
FACTOR IN CHOICE

Yankee had three pieces of hard
luck: First, her "jenoa" jib split to
pieces few seconds before it would
have been taken in; second, in tack
ing the upper sheet on her brand-new
"Greta Carlo" jib broke loose, and
finally the wind shift went against
her.
In spite of these three handicaps
she travelled to windward only a min
ute and half slower than the Rain
bow. Once around the mark she
came home flying and all but nipped
Rainbow at the finish in the closest
race between two sloops Of cup yacht
size in many, many moons.
The Selection Committee probably
was faced with the toughest situation
ever in picking defender this year.
The edge between Rainbow and
Yankee was very. very slim at all
times this season, but in the trials it
was Rainbow which was able to pro-
duce the victories, and victories are
what count in yacht racing regard
less Of how small the margins.

ness man in New York. We must ad-
mire Clifford Suffer as a man who
grasped opportunity with both hands
and took a good job when he saw it,
thereby letting his tennis slide.
His present position does not allow
enough latitude and leisure hours
during the afternoon, so Clifford de-
cided to quit the game for a few
months, and he has not played very
much this year. However. he has
practiced whenever possible, and, from
the point of view of actual play, ap-
pears to be hitting the ball well.
AS a player, he has the shots and
the possibilities to go long way, but
it is absolutely impossible to play
championship tennis and get away
with it in the pinches without match
practice. Here can speak from ex-
perience.

DUT after that the deluge. From
u that hole until the finish on the
fifteenth Vinson was golfing fury
incarnate, a SHOEMAKER who couldn't
miss, an implacable machine that
simply refused to make a bad shot
and holed every putt that was hole
able.
He made several great shots along
this stretch, among them his APP
preach putt at the tenth, his iron
second at the twelfth, and his second
at the fourteenth, which he played
with cut to hold the green. Then, at
the end, he canned a 6-footer for
bird at the fifteenth and Billy shook
hands with him.
The Dettweiler boy put up q GAL
liant scrap. No man could have fought
harder. But Billy was up against

N YEW YORK, September There
M is one player who must be
Y watched most carefully. Two
years ago, the name of Frank
Parker was mere hearsay which
drifted through various channels and
eventually reached the ears of tennis
enthusiasts. His meteoric rise is a
story in itself, but the victories
achieved by this strapping young fell
low from Milwaukee have turned him
into a veritable Goliath.
Today he is the idol of all tennis
fans in America. Even in England
one hears the name of Frankie Parker
whispered in awe.
This boy has been so carefully
coached in stroke production and
tactics by Mercer Beasley that he
must be a positive Euclid by now.
What he doesn't know about angles,
change of pace, right foot, left foot
and intricacies like that, are not worth
knowing. He has been carefully guild
ed and schooled in the game. His
physical fitness has been watched with
equal care. Here is champion in the
making.
Just when he will arrive no one
knows. But he will arrive. Frankie
is nearly there now.
Those fiat shots, volleys, service
everything, in fact-Show careful
training. He has learned his lessons
well and has reached the point where
the next few months will decide
whether he will remain just a very
fine player or become a champion.
He has the shots, the physique. The
future will tell whether Frankie has
the genius of the Tilden and the
Cochet of the past
