LOS ANGELES, Sept. %. W.R)-
Francis x. Shields, former American
tennis titleholder who abdicated i'll
favor of film career, today kept
pace with world champion Fred
Perry when he stroked straight
set victory and gained the semi
finals of the Pacific southwest mems
tennis championships.
The former Davis cup player
competing after year layoff-dis-
played the most sparkling game
seen at Los Angeles tennis club this
year moving down Mort Ballagh,
winner of two previous upset victor,
les, 6-2,6-2.
Perry continued his drive for the
title by eliminating John McDiar-
mid. wiry Princeton professor, g.
Ga. Don Bulge, defending cham
pion, meets Robert Underwood, Los
Angeles. while John Van Ryn, Phil
adelphia. takes on Jack Tidbau, U.
CL.A. champion, for the two re-
naming semi final positions tomor-
row.
Shields. slicing deliberately down
the sidelines to nick the corners
for kills, forced Ballagh through
out the match. Ballagh was ner-
vous at the start of the match, and
before he coulu recover, was trail
ing hopelessly Shields, after toying
with his opponent in the final set
tied at 2-2-boomed over series
of fast forehands, then won the
final game with three service ace.
Perry found little opposition in
McDiarmid, and won without ex-
tending his game He played stead
lily, virtually without error, lacing
long baseline shots that constantly
kept his opponent off balance.
National champion Alice Marble,
and young Gracyn Wheeler, OF
Santa Monica, were the first con-
tenders to win places in the semi
final bracket of the womenS cham
pionships.

PARADE
By Henry McLemore

LONDON. Sept. "a. URt-(By
Wireless)-Herr Hitler didn't gel
around to mentioning it at Nurem-
berg, but among the things Ger
many may take from England N
the next year or two IS the Worlo
land speed record.
NaZi autonotive engineers ano
drivers have their eyes on Sir MAJ
colin Campbell's mark OF a little
better that 300 miles an hour and
are believed to be readying car
to have a 60 at bettering it. They
will use a super auto-unlone
which is a sort Of a big brother
of the racing machines which have
dominated continental road and
track racing for the past two
years.
An ordinary auto union-and
Ordinary" is hardly the correct
word, as they cost 100000 and
cannot be bought without the
permission of the German gov
erment-is capable of 200 miles
an hour. And they are capable
Of that on an ordinary road.
Their acceleration is tremendous.
II is possible to get them up to
$50 and $50 miles an hour in
half mile straightaway.
Germany's bid for Campbell's s
mark probably will be made in
Germany or Hungary and not on
the salt beds OF Utah or the sands
of Daytona Beach. There are sew
eral great concrete highways which
run for miles without a single bend
near Berlin and Budapest and Ger
man drivers consider them just as
suitable as Americas natural cour-
ses The narrowness Of the racing
strip doesn't seem to bother them
at all.
They have whipped the auto-un-
ions down these roads at 200 with
out even halting regular traffic.
The honor Of going for the re-
cord will be given to Hans Von
Stuck or Bernard Rosemeyer. Vor
Stuck is nearing 40 and has beer
overshadowed a bit by Rosemeyei
this season. Bernard IS IN his
| early 20's. He puts the heaviest
foot on the throttle Of any Euro
pean driver.

if he thought the Germans would
succeed in breaking his time. He
was Of the opinion that they
