the spoet mirror

Tennis ratings released by the
American Tennis association last
week produced concrete evidence
that there Is serious need fer the
development OF young male tennis
players in Detroit. According TO
the ratings sent out by Arthur =.
Chippey. secretary OF the assocIa-
ton, Detroit did not have a player
among the first twenty.
On the other hand. two Detroit
girls were listed in the FIRST Ave
in the women's singles-Flora Lo-
max. national singles champion,
and Lillian Burch. rated fourth.
In addition 10 capturing the ma
tionsl championship last summer,
Flora's remarkable racquet WELD
ing accounted for the crown In the
New York open tournament after
she had dispersed all opposition In
the Buffalo open. She is also queen
OF the Detroit court.
Lillian was semi-hnalst In the
national and Buffalo tournaments
and quarter fnalist In the New
York meet. She was likewise semi
nnalist in the Detroit tourney.
As an indication OF the dearth IN
the development Of young players
Detroit did not have name In
junior singles, nor among the
young girls.
There are some first class vet.
Grams in Detroit who could devote
time to the development OF the
Young material here. This would
produce better showing In ths
national tournament. and thus give
Detroit a better rating.

Pittsburgher
Down For Count

been the tonic needed TO regain for
the former Golden Glover the fero-
cious attack he had lost some.
where between Detroit and New

Prior TO his disastrous invasion
OF New York almost two years ago.
Shivers was recognized as one OF
the hest two-fshed and aggressive
middleweights In the country.
Aggressl, eness Fades
He had compiled a remarkable
record in winning Golden Glove
crowns. and had continued his de-
vastating punching against the pro-
fessionals.
On his return from New York,
Shlvers. although winning his
bouts. did not evidence the fire and
fight displayed in his earlier bouts.
Something was wrong.
But Shiyers shook OF this lethar-

beginning OF the bout that startled
his most ardent supporters. Shiv-
ers swarmed all over Quail for the
first six rounds. flooring his oppo-
nent for a count OF nine in the
fourth round. Only sheer courage
enabled Quail TO Withstand the
turbulent assault.
However. the long lay-off did ex-
act something from Shivers. and
this was shown in the last four
rounds when the Detroiter began
TO tire. AS result. he lost these
rounds to the lion-hearted Quail.
As Quail holds victories over
