SHIELDS DRAWS
FORMIDABLE FOE
Top-Seeded Newport Net
man Meets Nelson in First
Round at Casino.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n NEWPORT, R. l., August ia
nj Top-seeded Frank X Shields
meets some rugged opposition
- in today's first round play in
the nineteenth annual Newport Casino
tennis tournament.
Despite his ranking, Shields drew
as an opponent Lawrence Nelson of
Los Angeles, one of the most impress
sive of this seasons California net
crop.
Seventy-six players, including two
United States Davis Cup stars, were
paired for the first round matches.
Four members of the first ten' and
IL others whose 1884 play earned
them places on the national ranking
list were in the draw, which was
made without Wilmer Allison, Davis
Cup veteran who won here last year.
Don Bulge, promising young Davis
cupper, was seeded behind Shields.
Thirty y-Eight Matches Listed.
THE others on the favored list, in
order of their ranking, were
frankie Parker, who bowed to Allison
in last years Casino final; Bryan
"Bitsy" Grant, Gene Mako, California
youngster who drew an international
assignment this year; Gregory Man
gin, J. Gilbert Hall, Wilmer Hines
and Roderick Menzel, Czechoslovak-
ian star.
Bulge was pitted against Edward
Soelsner Of Newport in the first
round play. Parker faced Bob Bacon
of New York and Grant drew Her
bert L. Bowman of New York, who
ranks twenty-eighth nationally.
Mako was In for no easy time Of 1t,
drawing Arnold Jones, Providence
veteran, as his first round opponent.
Thirty-eight first-round singles
matches were listed for today, with
the Casino doubles play, generally an
accurate measure for the next weeks
national team play, opening tomor-
row.

be disastrous. A break in Grants

Shields the start that led to his
winning the first set.
Grant came back, however, to break
Shields service in the next set to re-
verse the score and then went on to
take the third set despite the fact
he experienced trouble with his service.
Grant was just two points away
from victory on two occasions in the
fourth set, but Shields finally broke
through for a victory, aided by a net
cord shot. 1t was a case of a more
agile Grant taking advantage of the
tiring big fellow in the last set.

Henson KeepsUp
Hot Ringer Pace

CLAYTON (BOO) HENSON,
three times winner of The
Evening Star horseshoe tourna-
ment, now training for the world
championship event to be held late
this month at Moline, Ill, had an
other feather in his cap today. Bill
Moore, who defeated Henson in the
all-star Mclean, Va, invitation
tournament, took a decisive beat
ing yesterday from Henson at Falls
Church. Henson, in a special
match, beat the Washington cham
pion six straight, although Moore
shot IS per cent ringers.
Henson, who the day before set
what is believed to be a world rec
ord by shooting 38 straight ringers
in an exhibition match with Moore,
had ringer percentages yesterday
of 10, II, 73, rs, rs, rs for an
average of 73. In one stretch he

A New Davis Cup Alibi.

"A CCOMPANYING the Wightman
Cup team to our shores was Miss
Helen Jacobs, bearing up bravely, and
close behind the girls was Sidney B.
Wood, talking freely. Mr.. Wood will
be remembered as the forgotten man
of this years Davis Cup squad. Every
year there is q forgotten man on the
Davis Cup squad. and every year he
is very well advertised.
MIR. Wood, as I say, came home
talking freely. He produced an abb
for the squad captain, Joe Wear,
though to the best of my knowledge
Cap Wear never asked for one.
Joe Wear was not to blame" pro-
claimed Mr.. Wood. "Ill take the
blame on my own shoulders
This Mr.. Wood proceeded to do,
with gestures.
II asked to be left off the squad"
he said. 81 told Joe I didn't think I
could win"
Now, this tip of Mr.. Woods may
have come as a surprise to Cap Wear,
but it wouldn't have surprised any
one else. Mr.. Wood had good reason
for thinking he wouldn't win in the
Davis Cup matches. He almost never
does. Since Bill Allison is the No.
ranking player of this country, and
since he had played in the match with
Germany, there was no sense in re-
moving him for Wood. His absence
would have caused much louder yell
over he-e than did Woods.
Well, this is no sort of weather for
getting mad at tennis players. The
English girls have the floor. If any
thing can be done with a floor, they'll
do it.

~ LAYING his semi-final match

Il will be seeking a shot at an
other of the city's ranking stars,
Tony Latona, for the championship
tomorrow. Ralph McElvenny's con-
queror meets Henry Niemeyer at 5
o'clock, the winner to meet Latona,
who eliminated Deane Judd, Ga,
60, yesterday.
McElvenny, however, was not de-
prived of a shot at a championship
through his defeat by Mather. He

doubles crown at o'clock, meeting
Judd and Matte Ritzenberg. Latona
was half of the championship doubles
team last year, winning with Frank
Shore.
Five men seeking their first cham
pionship are in the third round of
the Embassy tournament, Gene
Owens, Don CARRIER, Charley Chan

ley being ones furthest advanced.
Another entry list was cut In half
yesterday on the Monument courts as
the chiselers continued play. The first
four seeded players-Austin Rice, Carl

being carried to three sets.

Hagerstown yesterday, defeating Nor
folks ace, Howell Taylor, in four
sets, 81, 6-4, 6-8, 60.

Mary Cootes and Bobsey Turney

yesterday. They played only three
games to triumph. Tied. SIS, in
their match with Sara Moore and
Dorette Miller when darkness halted

dropped the eleventh game, but rallied
to take the next two and the bacon.
Capt. S. K. Robinson and Ray
Stocklinski were all that kept the
Army Navy team from a shutout at
the hands of the Baltimore netmen
yesterday, who took a 6-3 decision
at the Arlington site Robinson and
Stocklinski won their singles matches
and then teamed together to take a
doubles encounter.
And up until Friday when the
veteran Dorette Miller carried her to

pretty little Frances Cater. who forced

to carry the team to victory with Mrs.
Moody out of the way. She's not
even going to stay over for the ma
tional tea-and-tennis festival later in

Phyllis Mudtord, the veteran and
the married lady of the party, is a
chunky, smiling. determined little
woman. She began her Wightman
Cup service in 1880 as the baby of the
team, defeating Sarah Palfrey in
straight sets
Kay Stammers, who slapped down
Mrs. Moody in minor tournament
in England this year, is the squad
beauty and highly competent tennis
player as well, probably next best to
Miss Round.
Freda James is slender and fair
haired and a favorite with the VIM
bledon and Forest Hills galleries, which
whisper in amazement at her stam-
ina when she's winning and feel
audibly sorry for her when she's be-
