Guy Cheng of Shanghai Is Seeded No. l in Medi-
 Ocre Chestnut Hill Field

Chestnut Hill, Mass, July B. (UP)-The 43d annual invitation mems tennis singles tournament for the Lonswood bowl was sched- uled to open today with a Chinese, Guy Chcng of Shanghai, seeded No. l in one of the most mediocre fields attracted by the event in years.
 Wilmer Allison of Texas, who won his second leg of the trophy last year, is campaigning in Eu- rope.
 Late entries of Wilmer Hines of North Carolina, Henry Culley, coast star, and W. Barry Wood, Jr., for mer Harvard all-around athlete, necessitated evamping of the seed ings and draw for opening matches.
 Cheng, a Davis cup player whose greatest claim to fame is in win ming a set from Bitsy Grant and extending Don Budge in a three set match, retained his top-place in re-seedings, but Hines was given No. place over Gilbert Hunt Of Washington, who was dropped to No. 3.
 Culley was seeded fourth and Wood, seventh. The other seeded contestants are Norgross Tilney of Princcton fifth; G. Holmes Perkins of Cambridge, sixth, and Henry Holden of Texas, eighth.
 Bill Thompson of New York, originally seeded sixth, has dropped from the favored list with John Co., of Hartford, Conn, and Paul Guibord of Melrose, but received another bad break in change of the draw which forces him to meet Hines in the first round.
 Play in women's singles will star: tomorrow with Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan topping the field.

John Balinsky, Syracuse under graduate, cost the Brooklyns a 3 to 2 setback in the IT inning con test with the Washington Hills. In this frame Patty Slattery singled with one out. Joe Strokalaitis down to Balinsky who let the ball roll through his legs, Slat- tery pulling up at third. Larry Mullen then hit back to Blinn who mussed up the grounder allowing the Hills catcher to dent the plate with the deciding tally.
 Mulligan Hits Hard
 George Mulligan, hard-hitting first baseman, collected four out of seven hits to take the lead in the race for the individual batting crown of the league. Danny Bri- otti, leader up until yesterday, failed to reach first in four trips. The Hills star had two doubles and two singles.
 Blinn Goes Limit
 George Blinn and Strokalaitis went the entire distance in the long contest. Both clubs had plenty of opportunities to break the ice at different stages of the game, but just couldn't hit with men on the bases. Strokalaitis, it will be remembered, hurled in that record league game of IS innings, three years ago.

TODANS SPORTAPARADE. . hAA&HaB9
By HENRY McLEMORE


 New York. July 8. (UP)-To- night at the Yankee Stadium, in a ring pitched, and very appropriate ly so, over the pitchers box, the Messrs. Danno O'Mahoney and Chief Little Wolf meet for the worlds heavyweight wrestling championship, or wrestliania' s priceless bauble as it is known to the trade.
 Both Danno and Wolfe definitely are children of destiny. Otherwise how can you explain the phenom- enal rise of each in twelve month, Danno from the rear ranks of the Irish Free State army; Wol- fo from a two-room, lighthouse keeping tepee on the Blackfoot reservation?
 Destiny, simply destiny! Not the old-fashioned destiny of which you ordinarily think. No. Theirs was a modern, east New York destiny, in the guise of Jack Curley scout. Which means that their destiny wore pinc-back suit, derby hat, sported cane, and talked out the corner of its mouth.
 Curley'S Scouts Busy
 There is a saying that the sun never sets on Jack Curley's scouts. Interpreted, this means that Curley, the master wrestling promoter, has scouts scattered in every nook and cranny of the world, and whose business it is to procure talen (and when Isay talent I don't mean a word of it) for the masters pro- auctions.
 Only through such fne-tooth world coverage, so to speak is Mons. Curley able to fulfill the jledge "a lout for every bout" he made to his public years ago. The writer happens to know that one of the great sorrows of Mons. Curley's life is that he has never been able to present a genuine rock of Gibraltarian heavyweight. For some reason these boys are too preudential to leave.
 Going back to Mons. Curley's scouts-which I assure you I would never do save on paper-they are SO numerous and so ubiquitous, that one is never safe in exposing a favorite muscle. Serious minded business men, on cross- s-country trips. have inadvertently exhibited extraordinary feats of strength, such as raising a Pullman window, and have nexer found themselves in Des Molnes billed as "Ivano the o'Terribie." and wrestling a mute Muscovite.
 As l got the story. destiny came t0 Danno as he was drilling M the streets of Dublin. The comma nding officer called Squads right" to avoid going up one-way street. Danno. thinking his superior had called "Hauatter's right" ,hauatted down and started stalking out . elaim.
