|BUDGE READY TO. BE TAKEN DUE
 TO THROAT ILL
World Tennis Star May Have to Withdraw at
 Forest Hills

Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. 8-(UP) The United States national sim gles tennis championships open to- day at the West Side club without defender in the women's division and a slight possibility that the mems champion -- Don Budge - might withdraw before the tourna- ment ends on September IT.
 Budge already winner of three of the worlds four major titles French, Australian and English has been suffering from throat ailment for six months. It was re- ported today that he will undergo blood test tomorrow and if physi- clans advise him not to play, Budge might withdraw.
 It was believed, however, that the champion, who is idle today, would play Welby Van Horn of Los An geles. tomorrow. Both drew first round byes Q
 May Stay In
 If Budge should withdraw-and the general belief here is that he will not-he would lose an oppor- tunity of becoming the first man in history to win all four of the worlds major singles titles in one year. Jack Crawford of Australia came closest to turning the trick in 1883 when he took all but the U. S.. championship and lost that in a final battle against Fred Perry of England.
 Lined up against Budge in the mems division is one of the classiest international fields in history. Nine of Americas top-ranking players will compete while others come from France, England and Australia.
 Should Budge stay in the tourna- ment his most likely opposition should come from young Jack Bromwich of Australia, and Bobby Riggs of Chicago, Americas No. 2 player whom many believe is ready" to give the champion his first grass court tournament defeat in two years.
 Champ Absent ...e.
 A wide open battle is predicted in the women's division. Anita Lizana of Chile, who won the cham pionship last year, is not defending. Jadwiga Jedrzejowska of Poland finalist against the Chilean girl a year ago, .hapes up as the most formidable among the invaders.
 Another strong foreigner is Nancye Wynne of Australia.
 Chief domestic hopes are Alice Marble of San Francisco, winner in 1886 and ranked nationally at No. 1, and Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Calf, four times winner here, winner of the all-England title in 1886 and a finalist this year against Mrs. Helen Wills Moody.
 Miss Jacobs opens today against Anne Harrison in one of the feature matches. Other matches bring to- gether Frank Kovacs of Oakland, Cal, and Eric Filby of England; and Don McNeill of Oklahoma City against Bernard Destremeau of France.

 Bouts Planned
By HUGO HOOKJAB

Danny Houlihan, the Newark Irishman, and Tommy Ciarlo, the bull-shouldered south end Italian who holds the state lightweight championship, are both to be seen in action tonight at Randolph Cloves stadium, for the very good reason that they may fling leather at each other for the first time next week in what should be a great fight, regardless of the result.
 However, tonight is the night. next week notwithstanding and 1t will take a spectacular performance on the part of Ciarlo who meets Joe Rossi of Naugatuck to convince Waterbury A. c. matchmakers that Ciarlo, who claims he can lick Houlihan, is entitled to the chance to do so. Houlihan has beaten Dick Turcotte two out of three bouts, and, by the same token, 1t was Tur- cotte that Ciarlo took the state championship from last winter in New Haven when the Frenchman's eyebrow was broken open and the bout had to be stopped. There fore, Ciarlo will be shooting for a K. O. tonight so that he can be sure of a crack at Houlihan. The latter, by the by, has the ably Bobby Ellis of New Britain to contend with, and with the Morris K. o. Tn mind Daniel will do well to protect his at any and all times.
 More Action
 Dula Kovach, the Naugatuck l77 pounder who had to knockout his opponent twice last week before the bout ended, meets the sharp p-punch- ing Jimmy Collins of New Haven while Frankie Buff of this city and Herman Badger of New Haven are down for a three rounder that may produce K. O.
 Billy Satryb of Rockville and Joe Poiowitzer of Windsor Locks are paired up in a bout that may take top honors fer sustained action, while Newark's Jackie Crimmins, Tony Pesack and Joe Scully, of Newark. Henry Davis, state pan- tamweight champ, and Joey Marcus of Windsor Locks will also be seen in action during the evening,

 The Derby club has a lineup which Is composed of former col- lege and high school players and last year, they were the undis- puted champions of the lower Valley, This year, they have become a wee bit ambitious and have scheduled games with the leading state clubs. They were eager to take 6 whack at the Gems in the opening tussle as they feel that they have a grand chance to pull an upset.
 However, Coach Stu Clancy has other designs than taking 6 beating on the opening Sunday and he will put his strongest combine on the field for the first kickoff of the season. The 1888 Gem edition will be composed of several of the stars from last years great club with reinforcement from many new faces.
