- LEVELAND, September IL.
Ordinarily designed as
black Wednesday because
~ of the customary massacre
of favored contestants, yesterday
was only a little less hectic this
year than in the past. Most no
table among the fallen are Scotty
Campbell. Charlie Yates and Ross
Sommerville. Not one of them
played badly. In fact they all
played well, but, as Somerville ex-
pressed it, not well enough.
In these three matches, if no.
where else, one finds plenty of
evidence to support the suspicion
that something more than skill
and competitive spirit are needed
to go through one of these fields.
No matter how good or how much
better than the others a man hap
pens to be, he is bound to take as
many as II or 70 in some round.
Every one in this tournament has
been that high, or gone far enough
to make these scores or higher in
evitable. Yet Scotty Campbell's
II in the morning got him nothing.
A whole lot depends on timing
ones best rounds where they will
do the most good.
Little, without doubt. has played
the best golf SO far. But on each
day and in each round except yes
terday mornings there has been
some one who has attained better
figures. OF course, they haven't
made these figures against Little,
which is somewhat different. But
they might. Up to the moment
he has not been pressed, at any
rate for long. The challenges

UPSETTER
At PEAK OF FORM
Briton, Hurt in Match, Says
He Would Have Taken
Licking Anyway.
BY BOB CAVAGNARO,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, September
l. 12.-Wilmer Allison Of Austin,
Tex, and Sidney Wood. jr., Of
Il New York will meet for the
United States singles tennis cham
pionship today in best-of-fi
match.
Taking their national rankings into
consideration that's just as it should
be. Allison tops the Nations first
TO-" while Wood is only notch below.
Allison created a staggering upset
yesterday when he scored a thrilling
straight-set victory over Defending
Champion Fred Perry Of England.
In that match it was Allison who
was the worlds foremost amateur.
Perry has carried that designation for
the past couple Of years because OF
his all-conquering exploits at home
and abroad, but against Allison he
was just another player.
Allison in Great Fettle.
WITH that match under his belt
there appears to be no stopping
Allison. Perry, indeed, suffered
painful injury to his right kidney In
the first set But, Notwithstanding, he
was due for a licking, as he said so
himself after the match.
Right now Allison is playing the fin
est tennis of his career. With each
match he has been getting stronger.
It's quite possible, however, that
against Perry he reached his peak for
the year.
On the strength of his showing in
winning from Bitsy Grant in the
other semi-final it appears doubtful
If Wood can stand Allison's present
fast pace. But the blond New Yorker
can be counted on to put up a battle.
With the completion of the Wood
Allison match the United States Lawn
Tennis Associations first combined
mems and womens' singles champion
ships will come to an end. The wom-
ems tournament ended yesterday the
same way it has for the past four
years, with Helen Hull Jacobs of
Berkeley, Calf, winning again. She
beat her victim of the final a year
ago, Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of
Brookline, Mass, in straight sets.

4 They've made this tourna-
ment easy for Lawson Little
up to now, but from now on
the going is going to be rougher for
the California Slasher. Roger Pea
cock, last Washingtonian In the tour
ney, vanished from the big joust yes
terday when his putter went COM
pletely awry. But Eddie Held, the guy
who beat him, is up against hot boy
today in Walter Emery, the Oklahoma
City lad who played in the inter-
collegiate tourney at Congressional.
Roger is sticking around for look at
the show and will leave for home to-
morrow, satisfied that golf matches
are won and lost three feet from the
cup. That match he lost to Held was
just that, for if ever match was won
on the putting green, Held won that
one around the cup. And by the same
token Roger lost it around the hole.
You won't find Roger blowing three
foot puts in many rounds, but he
blew three of them yesterday. They
spelled the margin of victory for Held.
7 AWSON LITTLE, the guy the boys
have been cunning for with pea
shooters, met Bill Mccullough of Phil
adelphia in the fifth round today and
figured to take Mr.. Mccullough like
he has taken every one else they have
thrown to him. But this afternoon it
may be quite different story. If he
gets by Mccullough, who has habit
of holing lengthy puts at embar-
RAISING moments, he meets either Will
lie Turnesa, the hot kid from Elms-
ford, N. Y, or George Voigt, the trans
planted Capitalism, who learned his
game on the wind-swept reaches of
East Potomac Park.
And if he gets by both Of these
matches he probably will draw John
Goodman, the Omaha veteran, who is
hot on the trail of his first amateur
championship. The soft spots are
over today. From now on, with eight
matches this morning and four this
afternoon, there are not any more
push-overs left in the championship.
It is all tough going from now on, but
Lawson is the big shot, the guy the
boys all are after. Bobby Riegel, the
tall Southern champion from Rich
mond, had his chance yesterday after
noon and fell by and g. before the
dynamite that is Lawson Little. The
guy really is getting to be a symbol
for a quick licking. He has now won
81 straight national championship
matches and still he goes on. And
he hasn't had a really hot complete
round shot at him yet. Mccullough,
who licked Jack Westland of Chicago
yesterday. may do it today, but even
that isn't likely. George Voigt or
Willie Turnesa will be something else
again this afternoon.

Entries are being taken at Spald-
ing's, the Tennis Shop on Fifteenth
street, or the Playground Department
in the District Building.
Today at 5 o'clock John Hatch and
Dewitt Bennett will take to the courts
for one set with Don Bent and Jack
Latimer, which will decide the doubles
championship of the embassy tourna-
ment. When they resumed play yes
terday, after a weeks lay-off, it
seemed certain that Hatch and Ben
nett could take one game in the first
four to cop the title, inasmuch as
they we're leading two sets to none
and So in the championship match
halted by rain,
But Latimer and Bent rallied to
take the third set, 81, and then
swept on to a IS victory to deadlock
the match.
Lucille Mcdowell and Harry March
of Burroughs swept to an impressive
f1rSt-round victory in the playground
doubles championship, which opened
on the Chevy Chase courts, and ap-
pear worthy of the rank as the tour
nament favorites which they COM
mand. They defeated the Hoover
team of Fugitt and Kramer and two
love SETS
Billy Contreras and Willie O'Steen,
almost equal favorites, advanced to
the second round by default.
Play continues today.

Charlie Kocsis from Detroit, the lad
who licked Maurice Mccarthy yes
terday with literal pin-splitting iron
shot on the eighteenth. His second
shot hit the pin from $50 yards. 1t
won him the match. Meanwhile Joe
Lynch, 1885 Hoya golf captain.
clashed with Oliver Transue, one of
Cleveland's boys, while John Good
man seemed to have another soft
spot in Ed Meister, home club lad.
Two matches today will bring the
tourney down to the semi-f1nal at SO
holes tomorrow. If they are to lick
Lawson Little in this golf tournament
they had better do it today. The
guy is plain arsenic in any 36-hole
match. Had Bobby Riegel put on a
hot round against him yesterday he
might have licked Lawson, but Bobby
wasn't knocking in those long puts
for which he has reputation in the
mid Atlantic area.

WILLIE has been playing superbly
w all week, but must beat George
Voigt, veteran from Mamaroneck, a
tough rival in any league, to earn
another crack at the champion-if
Little doesn't get upset himself.
Voigt survived his fourth match by
sinking a 20-foot putt for a birdie

Second only to Little in yesterdays
massed attack on par was Walter
Emery of Oklahoma City, 1893 ma

Oklahoman was four under par in

incredible number. of four deuces.
Emery's next opponent is the veteran

beat Scotty Campbell of Seattle in
