Plans are maturing under the
shrewd guidance of Vincent Richards,
who has been working for months to
fit all the parts. If his plans carry,
virtually every nation of any impor-
tance in tennis will be represented.
The key is the entries OF Fred Perry
and Ellsworth Vines, who said some

this applied to their first tour. He
