SPORT PARADE
{ Jack Crawford of Aus

ing off Jack Crawford Of Aus
tralia.
He heralde6 this triumph by
beating his little chest and cry
ing in a rich, southern accent:
No Australian has ever beaten
me. ! have won from them
every time we met"
This was something for the
tennis fathers to think about,
and they admittedly don't like
to think about Grant. They con-
slider the little Atlantan's soft,
pat-ball game, and his clown-liks
antics on the court, as not be-
fitting the dignity of interna-
tional lawn tennis.
The fact remains that Grant,
at one time or another, has
beaten all the tennis greats of
his time. Or at least all of them
who crossed his path. He has
never held a better national titls
than that of the clay courts.
yet he is the man who can al
ways beat the man who won the
cup at Forest Hills or Wimble-
don.
He beat Ellsworth Vines when.
the Californian was the No. 1
man in the world. He has con-
quered Donald Bulge, Adrian
Quist, Jack Bromwich and even
the great Tilden. Yet one can
never be sure of what Grant
will do in a given situation.
There are times when he couldn't
even beat you, dear Reader, even
if you still serve the way your
Aunt Maud taught you.
Two years ago Grant beat SO
many of the mighty that he was
sent abroad on the Davis Cup
team. He flopped dismally, and
had to be replaced by frankie
Parker. a chap whose record was
not half as bright. That should
have been the finish of the little
fellow as Davis Cup possibility.
but it wasn't. He bounced back
to start beating higher ranking
players all over again. and to-
day must be given serious con-
sideration when cup defense
squad is named.
After all. the United States
is looking for men who can beat
Australians. They are the folk
who are going to challenge for
the Davis Cup we now hold.
Bobby Riggs, Wimbledon cham
pion and our No. l player has
been beaten by members of the
present Australian team. So
have most of the other Ameri-
can possibilities. But not Grant.
Almost the one consistency n,
has is an ability to lick Aus
tralians when he sees them on a
tennis court. They may look
like kangaroos to the other play
ers, but to Bitsy they are MOTH
ing more than rabbits, ready for
the kill.
To be very frank, I would hate
to have the sole responsibility
of deciding whether or not Bitsy
Grant should play on the Davis
Cup team this year. Who can
ever safely predict just what the
irrepressible atom will do?

Jeff's Pride
Set for Race
RY COLONEL. CARY

It's Navy day At Longseres to-
day. and the boys from the battle
feet are going TO have fun pick
ing winners out OF one Of the
tightest and most interesting cards
Racing Secretary Morrison has
lined up to date.
Headlining the card will be the
Z. s. Navy purse. mile and one
sixteenth affair. that finds J. P.
Meehan's Gilbert Elston out for
his second straight win. with
plenty of competition TO be ex-
pected from Fanaway, also good
winner last out: Jaconut. Edgar
Boy, Thistle Grace, Lee Hastings
and Genteel Lady.
In the secondary attraction.
named the Battle Force purse,
George Adams honest gray. Vic
tor, will be seeking to make 1t
two straight. along with Business
Man. Not to be overlooked in the
same race Is Craig Tull's good
Vancouver winner. Claude X. First
post will be at 2:15 p. m.
Jeffs Pride goes Sunday. and
Western Canada will be riding
with him. Final confirmation that
the Canadian star will start in the
British Columbia handicap was re-
ceived when the Digger brothers
arrived with their horse at Long
acres yesterday afternoon.
They reported that the good son
Of Prince Pan has shipped in good
shape. and would be ready for his
best Sunday. His best, by the
bye. WAS good enough to set two
track records and capture three
straight handicaps at Vancouver.
But the Canadian flyer is going
TO meet plenty of competition on
Sunday. Fifteen Of the best horses
on the grounds have been named
to try for the $500 purse. Some
Turley, Mrs. G. Simons winner
of the Spokane handicap last Sun
day, Pas been nominated, along
with Faithful Maud, Caliente
handicap star; two of the Need
more stables best, Brief Moment
and Ethelmont; Mrs. H. Bowyer's
Dipperconard, and Valiant Boy.
Rochester Boy, HUI Car, Bagenmay,
The Cleaver. Kirkby, Novito,
American Emblem and Deerfly.
Regarded as one of the best
thoroughbreds ever to come out
of Canada. Jeffs Pride is a nom-
inee for the $1,000 Longacres mile.
and his effort Sunday will be
watched with keen interest. The
mile and one-sixteenth route is re-
garded as fair test for mile
nominees, and should Jeff's Plide
win, Some Turley repeat, or any
of the others prove best. the win
ner is sure to be highly regarded
for the seasons classic event.
The women fans received plenty
of thrills for their money yester-
day, when the Eye-In-T he-Sky
was called into use in seven of
the eight races, three times to
decide the winner. Biggest sur
prise Of the day was provided by
Allegrezza, when the 4-year-old
filly outdrove Behemoth to cap
ture the featured Washington
Purse. From the stables of w. H.
Young & Son, the daughter Of Mic
dArezzo had proven a good win
ner at six furlongs, but had not
started at the longer route this
season. Overlooked in the betting,
Allegrezza paid off at 37.70 on
the front end.
Two doubles were scored yes
terday. one by Jockey Gus Eye,
when he booted in Louis Morgan
in the first and Mr.. Spence in the
sixth, and one by trainer J. Kim
dred who ssddled Louis Morgan
and Shasta Fire in the fourth.
