CHESTNUT HILL Mass, Aug. IA
cUP)-Time marches on, and no.
where is one more conscious of il
than in the world of sport. The ve-
terans descending and the young
sters ascending to take their places
are like hands on a clock, sheets
on a calendar, making the swift
progress of the hours, the days,
and the years
l thought of this yesterday as
sat in the stands of the LongWood
cricket club here with Welby Van
Horn and Jack Kramer, and talked
with them while they waited to
play a match in the national tennis
doubles championship. A year ago
they were just grammer school boys
OF II in Los Angeles; just boys who
were all legs, and red ears, and
hair that wouldn't stay combed !;
just boys that said "yessir" to any
question and spent a good half of
their time giggling
Now within the space of a year,
they have quit being just boys.

Riuqs Defeats Parker in Dull Match:
Davis Cup Chances in U. 5. Declared
Uncertain: Women Stars Shine

RYE N. Y, Aug. IA CUP)-Ameri-
cas- prospects of retaining the
Davis cup next month were uncer-
tain today, following the eastern
Grass Court championships where
Bobby Riggs and frankie Parker
made a lacklustre showing in the
singles final.
Riggs won the title Sunday for
the third time and retired the sill
yer trophy by beating Parker l-6,
Ga, Us, but most tennis observers
agreed that neither Bobby nor
frankie was playing up to Davis
cup standards.
They were expected to be the
no. and 2 singles performers in
the cup defense. No one else in the
tourney showed enough brilliance
to threaten their jobs.
The Wightman cup situation was
more cheering, however. The Ameri-
can women showed well here at the
Westchester Country club. Alice
Marble, the Wimbledon and ma
tional champion, was in peak form
yesterday as she won the singles

1odays Sports Parade

They are tennis stars. You have
their names mentioned is specula
tions concerning the tournament
winners. Loudspeakers call "Mr
Kramer serving or Advantage Mr.
Van Horn. The rays of publicity
have brushed them, preparing them
for the sunburst of fame that will
be theirs in a few years if their
games continue to improve the way
they have.
They are interested in the way
| their flannels are cut. their man.
ner on the court, and in the club
house and hotel they are quiet
and restrained. Talking to them
made me feel old, very old. Almost
before know it they will be the
Davis cup players, the winners at
Forest Hills and Wimbledon, and
| deeper, deeper into a past that
really wasn't so long ago will re-
cede the players I have known and
written about. Bill Tilden! Lawdy
it seems century ago that he was
the king pin. Vines. Perry, Sid Wood
Frank Shields. Lott. Hennesey
Even Bitsy Grant. All veterans, all
quickly fading into the semi-ob-
scurity of the record books.
Kramer and Van Horn told me
OF their plans, and always the Davis
Cup has stood as their goal. Their
lives in the game have been paral-
lei, and physically they are almost
twins. The same age within a few
months, both stand six feet one
inch. Both have Los Angeles as
home, and both started playing on
the public courts when they were 12.
Friends for five years, they travel
together, room together, and dream
together of the time 1t will be
Kramer and Van Horn on the Davis
cup team.
This dream isn't many years
from fulfillment. because they are
the two most promising youngsters
In the country. Van Horn is ter
rifle hitter, both off tine ground and
IN the air. And as Kramer ex-
plains needs only to develop a
passing shot off his backhand and
gain little experience to hold his
own with the best
Kramer, according to Van Horn,
needs only little luck and more
dependable forehand to beat any
one. The luck he needs to keep
him healthy. Kramer is always
hurting something. Sometimes it's
an ankle, sometimes a muscle here
or there.
The boys are very excited about
meeting Adrain Quist and Jack
BromWich, the Australian Davis
cup team, In the second round to-
morrow. They don't say SO, but you
can sense that they have dreamed
few dreams about knocking the
Australians out OF the tournament
and thereby establishing them
selves as Kramer and Van Horn of
the Davis cup team right this
week. They won't do it this time,
but next year well, I would
hate to bet against them.
