Despite the fact that Don Gudge downed Baron Gottfried von Cramm in the Wimbledon and Davis cup a third meeting between the pair in the national singles championships would create tre- mendous interest.
 The Baron is in the United States on his first visit. He is not con- vinced that Budge is his master on the tennis court
 Von Cramm has two and one half strikes on his already. The two defeats he suffered at Budge's hands abroad The fact that Big Bill Tilden is picking him to defeat Budge as leading amateur player of the world. Tilden, a notoriously bad picker of tennis talent, has been naming von Cramm as the coming world champion for the past four years. Perhaps that's why the Baron has failed to make the grade. [ When Fred Perry stepped out of amateur ranks it was pretty gen. erally conceded the German ace would take over No. post. Then Fudge would upset him.
 Von Cramm has no illusions about stepping out on unfamiliar Amer

 ican courts and averaging the de- feats Budge handed him in Eng land. He admits that Don is great player-greater than Fred Perry, in von Cramm's estimation. While he lacks Perry's steadiness, in the opinion of the Baron, Don is capa- ble of reaching far greater heights than the former British champion.
 The German ace tells you that he hopes to give Budge real bat tie You are certain he will He looks fit. At 28, he should be at the peak of his game His meeting with Budge is the main reason for his trip. At the same time he is re- membering that when the smoke clears away after 1888 interzone Davis cup tests it is likely that Ger many will be the challenger.

Fritz Schmitz, who took care of more chances than did any other infield- CT, 86, with only three going awry on him. Bonner booted one in 26 tries.
 Kelly Blake Leads
 As far as batterymen and first basemen are concerned, Elk receiver Kelly Blake looks down on the oth- CT catchers with SIT average gain ed by making only three misplays in the l33 times he was mixed up in the happenings. Most nearly ap- preaching perfection among the pitchers was Moose finger Bob KimbalT who came up with a duo of dubs amid 79 plays for an aver age only two percentage points be- hind Blake.
 Though Joe Snow was concerned in more chances than any other player in the league, Walt, Big Andy" Andrews, nosed out his per- ennial rival to lead the first-base- men, just reversing the situation at the end Of the 1886 season. Snow took part in 1856 putouts, was cred ited for T assists and made bob bles for an average of .948, eleven marks behind Andrews, who made six wrong moves in the 146 times he was on the spot.
 Some Handicaps
 Several of those grouped with the batteryimen for the purpose of computing the fielding ratings are made to show in poorer light than they deserve by having done con- siderable duty in infield spots, where it is bit harder to get along. So handicapped were: Red Gray, Jim- my Manning, Big Mac" MacSpad- den, Bud Foster, Mark Jensen, Erv Hagerup and Clancy Converse.

Betsy Roosevelt Ciues Up
Role of Being the Hostess
Presidents Daughter.in.
La,U Prefers the
Lesser Part.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Betsy Roosevelt, who takes a turn as
White House hostess now and then in
the absence OF her mother law, is
back in the role she likes best.
That is comparatively quiet one
as wife Of the Presidents eldest SON,
James; mother of two blue-eyed and
lively daughters, and mistress Of a Co.
lonial home in historic Georgetown.
While Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
was on lecture tour this month, it
was Betsy who chatted with the Brit
ish Ambassador and Lord Cecil of
England as hostess at a state dinner
in the White House.
Had the Duke and Duchess OF Wind
sor arrived as scheduled, they would
have been received by the President
and his pretty daughter-in-law. who
wears her blond hair in a pageboy
bob.
The day to day life of the young
Mrs. Roosevelt indicates that she pre-
1ers staying out of the limelight. She
never makes speeches. She belongs to
no organiza tions.
Friends say she has the knack of
being available-whether it is to take
her 5-year-old daughter. Sara, out to
Fort Myer for ride on her pony or to
arrange for half dozen extra places
when her husband telephones he Is
bringing visitors home to lunch.
