Won CRAMM TO
RETIRE FROM
COURT GAME

NEW YORK, Dec. %. CUP) --
Baron Gottfried Won Cramm of
Germany, one of the worlds fore
most amateur tennis players. is
retiring from tournament competi-
ton, Don Bulge revealed today.
With Won Cramm out of the Davis
cup picture, Bulge predicted that
Australia again will be the United
States most formidable rival in the
international trophy competition
next year.
Bulge, who MADE grand-slam
of the Australian, French, English
and American amateur titles this
year, is in New York preparing for
his professional debut against Ellis
worth Vines at Madison Square
Garden on January 3.
II had letter from Won Cramm
written from Berlin" Bulge said
"Gottfried tells me that he is CIV
ing up tennis and is going into a
banking house"
with Won Cramm definitely out
of the picture" Bulge said, Aus
tralia is the logical team to meet
the United States in the challenge
round for the cup. If Roderich
Menzel, who has played for Czecho-
slovakia in the past. is drafted by
Germany, the Germans will be
tough. for they have another fine
player in Henner Henkel. But l
rank Australia, the team we beat
last year in our first defense of
the cup since we won it from
England, as the most dangerous
rival because it has John Brom-
wich and because it has the best
balanced team

that he learned from town hall

The man who has led teams
to nine American league pennantS
and five world series victories since

it is strictly a second division outfit.
But he will hope he'll have one
more winner.

the Chicago Cubs of 1906 to 1910

Paderewski Cinema
Stays at Belasco.

"MooNL1GHT SONATA" is in its
second week at the Belssco
Theater. and those who enjoy a mas
terful performance OF fine music and
who never have been accorded the
opportunity to hear concert by
lgnace Jan Paderewski should not
deny themselves the pleasure of see
ing and listening to this gerat pianist
in his first and probably his only
motion picture The film is no screen
achievement by virtue OF its plot or
the acting. but Is important because
OF Paderewski's playing.
Some of the aged masters artistry
is lost to the sound track, but the
recording is of high caliber, and there
are genuine thrills to be had when
he offers Chopins "A Flat Major
Polonaise, Opus 81" Iiszt's Second
Hungarian Rhapsody" Beethoven's
Moonlight Sonata" and his own
"Minuet in G Major" The Padere wski
acting efforts are unassuming, but
they serve to project an ingratiatine,
albiet placid, personality.
The story, that of q boy, q girl
and the music that brought them to-
gether again after the glamour of a
bogus gentleman had separated them
is unimportant, as are the perform
snces of Charles Farrell, Eric Port
man and Barbara Greene. c. A. M.
