WIMBLEDON, Eng, June %.
TO those who didn't understand,
the publicity given the right ankle
Fred Perry injured in the French
tennis championships must have
seemed a bit absurd.
The lesser papers kept it on their
front pages day after day, with
statements by Perry. his physicians,
and officials of the Lawn Tennis
association. And even such Sedate
organs as the Times and Guardian
thought it worthy of editorial COM
ment. FeS
But those who knew understood.
For Perry, now that the Walker
and Wightman cups, and the Bri-
tiSh amateur trophy have made the
same old east to west crossing, is the
focal point of English athletic hope.
He. and he alone, by winning at
Wimbledon and in the Davis cup,
can save England from rout in an
international sports season it start
ed so bravely. and with such high
hopes.
The Walker and Wightman cup
setbacks were practically severe dis
appointments to English sports fol.
levers. The golfers, playing over
familiar st. Andrews, were almost
two to one fayorites, and the tennis
girls. once again on a court whose
every blade of grass they knew,
we're thought TO be invincible, es-
pecially against an American side
which lacked Mrs. Moody and Miss
Marble.
Now only three events remain -
the British open, Wimbledon, and
the Davis cup. The first mentioned
hasn't raised much fuss, for the
American monopoly in the open has
usually been taken for granted
That's why Perry and his condition
are Of such prime Importance. He is
the final hope. the last remaining
st. George in the path of the Am
erican dragons. Ii he fails, all is lost
Has Even Chance
Wimbledon has begun and Perry
is in the thick of his most difficult
task. What are his chances? Fifty
fifty, I'd say. On the wrong side is

kilUanis-Rotory
Battle Tonight

A regular meeting of the KiwaniS
club is scheduled for tomorrow but
there may be no Kiwanians to at
tend it.
There certainly will be none if the
Rotarians have their way, and they
expect to do so.
Ordinarily friendly rivals as SER
vice clubs should be, war has arisen
between the Kiwanians and the Ro-
tarians and will be settled tonight
on the baseball diamond at Wilson
field when teams from the two clubs
clash.
The fireworks are to start at 8
o'clock and it is hoped to play nine
innings, provided the Kiwanians
and Rotarians can stand the gaff.
Dick" Hayden, in charge of the
Rotary crew, has plans to gas the
enemy if the going gets rough, while
it is reported from the other camp
that the KiwanianS have a few
tricks up their sleeves to offset any
such attempt.
With each club fearing to trust
the other, umpires could not be Sc
lected from the ranks today. Ef-
forts to gather in couple of neu-
trail Lions ITO officiate were not
meeting with much success, the tall
twisters figuring the spot was too
hot. At late hour there was plan
to draft a couple of Legionnaires in
full war equipment, and with their
insurance paid up, to do their stuff.

NJ 'CULLOUGH
ALL SET OR
FRIDAY BOUT

Art Mccullough, local heavy
weight, wound up his training yes
terday for his fight tomorrow night
with Dixie Dugan in the local arena.
Art will do a little light exercising
to keep in trim for this fight but
heavy work is taboo.
Dugan is expected here sometime
today and he will put in few hours
loosening up. He kayoed Spud Stone
here last Friday night and is getting
ready for main event scrap at Las
Vegas next week.
This is McCullough's big chance
and in his training during the past
week he has bad this in mind. He
l. gone about his work with an
earnestness that was lacking in pre-
vious training sieges and fans who
have watched him recently are i'm
pressed with his workouts.
Kenny Reed, one of the most pop
ular fighters to appear in the local
ring has his work cut out for him
tomorrow night. Mexican Kid Cho-
colate is no setup and according to
coast boxing papers is picked to win
over the San Diego scrapper. The
Mexican is a wicked puncher, will
have a weight advantage and is one
CT those fighters who continually
boreS in.
Joe Gotta the Mexicali feather
weight will box the six round special
with Eddie O'Neal, local colored
boy. Gotta has made quite name
for himself below the international
line and fans there will be pulling
for him to tear O'Neal apart. Ed
die is well known in the valley and
fans feel that he did not have a
chance to get started last Friday
when he took one on the chin short
ly after his bout opened. He will be
ous to redeem himself tomorrow
night.
But Richardson and Mel Perkins,
local light-heavies, will put on the
four round preliminary. Ladies will
again be the guests of the manage
ment tomorrow night.

There are precious few foreigners on
the American roll of honor, and
when the German, Won Cramm,

only the third time an outsiders

On the right side is the fact that

GRAB FOURTH
Defeat Redlands Gold Buckle
Team IL To S In One Sided
Contest.

-Four shots. four birds! Which
all goes to show that the Ell Centre
All-Stars are pretty hot bunch of
balltoSSerS. With three victories to
their credit SO far this season the
boys stepped out last night and took
the Redlands Gold Buckle team into
camp by a LIS count and made a
thorough job of it.
The All-StarS started the scoring
machinery going in the first inning
when they chased three runs across
the plate, followed by three more in
the next inning. ThraSher, the Red
lands starting hurler. was unable to
get the ball over the plate and walk
ed a brace of All-StarS. This with
a slaShing double ana a bad throw
to third allowed three runs to be
scored and put the game on ice.
In the next inning, five free trips
to first and another double, spelt
the end of ThraSher and Eddie
WeiSen took up the pitching bur-
den from then on. after three more
runs had been scored by the ALL
Stars.
The locals went scoreless until the
fifth when one was marked up fol-
lowed by two more in the sixth and
like number in the seventh.
After five scoreleSS innings the
Gold Buckles got organized in the
sixth and scored three runs on two
singles and homerun. Again in the
ninth they scored two runs on a
double and homerun.
Had Thrasher been able to hold
down his pitching assignment in
better fashion the game would have
been better played, and its outcome
different as the visitors showed a
real ball club that was capable of
putting up a better showing with
more strength on the mound.

HELEN JACOBS

BY HENRY McLEMORE

WIMBLEDON, Eng, June 23.-
Helen Jacobs of California reached
the third round Of the All-England
tennis tourney women's singles by
a straight-set victory over Dorothy
Andrus Of Stamford, Conn. Score
were 6-2, 6-l.
Miss Jacobs might easily have
defeated Miss AndruS in love sets
had she cared to exert herself.
Instead she stayed near the base
line and waited for Miss Andrus
to make errors. Miss Andrus, high
ly nervous, made many. Her COM
petition was not strong enough
even to make Miss Jacobs remove
her sweater.
Christian Boussus of France, took
the measure of Camille Malfroy,
Australia, in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2,
6-3.
In the third round of women IS
play Nine Rene Matthew of France,
defeated Mrs. Harry Hopman Of
Australia, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3, and Miss
Carolin Babcock of Los Angeles
vanquished Mrs. A. H Mellows of
Great Britain, 6-1, 6-3.
Miss Babcock IS excellent mixture
of drops, drives and cross-court
shots were too much for Mrs. Mel

shots but found Miss Babcock too
fleet.
Francis X. Shields. New York,
