Goodby Dovis Cup

LAST year, with the Davis Cup
apparently safely assured to the
United States team, Riggs dug his
own grave in match with Adrian
Quist of Australia and then overesti-
mated his own ability to climb out Of
it. Riggs had blown Quist off the
court the year before in a Davis Cup
battle; but this time, after dropping
the first two sets, he lost in five That
was the pivotal match The Davis
Cup went with it,
Earlier last summer, Baron Won
Cramm had blasted Riggs in the Lon
don championships, 60. 6-l. Truly
great champions don't lose matches
by such margins.
Riggs is now our top-ranked anna
teur, but it is only because the rest
Of the field has sunk around him.
The game needs new faces, new blood.
1t cannot get these from international
competition this year. for the war has
ended that for the present.
There's only one answer - an
Open Tournament. Now!
Some tennis officials, with an eye
on the cash register, insist that the
proposed Open Tournament would
kill, as gate attraction. the National
Amateur Championships, customar
lily held at Forest Hills in September.
Well, then, switch the Amateur Cham
pionships up to midsummer and play
the Open in September. That should
preclude any danger Of ox-office woe.
As far as attendance is concerned, the
Forest Hills tournament is dying any
way. And what new gate attraction
Evening star., 1940-07-14

mitted to challenge
for the Davis Cup;
am ateur players
from other countries
would no longer be
allowed to play in
our own am ateur
tournaments, and,
as a result, the cali
Der of those tourna-
ments and their gate
receipts would suffer.
Those are the ar
guments of our ten
mis- officials. But such
a dangerous situa-
ton could not occur
this year. The war in
Europe has changed
the Setup and it
has given American
tennis a golden op-
portunity. T h e
United States Lawn
Tennis Association
can sponsor an Open
Tournament this
year without tread
ing on anyone's toes.
By the time inter-
national tennis is re-
sumed, the Open
Tournament-if it is
Inaugurated this
will have
Evening star., 1940-07-14

proved its merits. The restrictions
of the International Tennis Fedora
ton will have been smashed once and
for all - and predict, the Open
Tournament will be quickly adopted
by the world.
Perhaps never again, after this
year, will the United States Lawn
Tennis Association get chance to
give American tennis such tremen-
dous boost.
That boost is certainly needed.
Attendance at our National Amateur
Tennis Championships at Forest Hills
fell off to 45,487 last fall, from 67 900
in 1898 the last year Don Bulge
competed. Another drop in attend
ance seems certain this September
There are no stars bright enough,
no truly great champions, to lure the
public to the Forest Hills seats. Vines
and Bulge passed - and left a void.
Bobby Riggs, great prospect in
1887, has actually slipped backward
since that September afternoon when
he took the first two sets from Baron
Gottfried Won Cramm in the Nation
ais, only to lose a long duel to him.
Riggs showed the next year that
he had failed to raise his game when
Gilbert Hunt maneuvered him right
out of the national championships.
The match was described as a terrific
upset, but after it was over, Hunt re-
marked;'I 81 can do that any day in the
week. | forced the play continually
to Riggs's backhand, which breaks
down under pressure
Hunt himself might not possess
the strokes needed to beat Riggs
consistently, but we have younger
players who could, with some coaching
Evening star., 1940-07-14
keso

ign up QUICK TOR q fennls Open
has cropped up, with the possible
exception of Welby Van Horn?
Van Horn, who was able to take
only one game in three sets from a
great champion. Bulge, in an early
round of the 1888 tournament, sud-
denly zoomed into prominence -
and the finals of last years
National Amateur Championships.
Bulge, of course, was out of the pic
ture by then.
Young Welby was roundly spanked
by Bobby Riggs in that final match,
and, at present writing, he hasn't won
any other important match. Unless he
improves his game he seems to be due
for a swift drop in the rankings.
Outside of Van Horn, the two anna
teurs who must pull the crowds are
Bobby Riggs and Don McNeill.
Hope for MeNein
+ OR Riggs, l have grave fears. He
has a good pair of legs, a good head
for tactics and the ability to play best
when it counts most. But Riggs has
not learned real champions all
court strokes.
For McNeill, l think there is hope.
He might be star if he could be con-
vinced that tennis matches are not
won by closing ones eyes and trying
to wallop the cover off every ball.
McNeilI and Van Horn, with proper
schooling and with competition against
high-caliber professional players in an
Open Tournament, might be made
into stars who could lift tennis back
to its old high plane in the United
States. They might win the Davis
Cup back for us. And they would
make the National Championships
more of gate attraction.
There is one often-heard complaint
against an open tournament that does
carry good deal of sound weight,
namely, that it would bring that sup
posedly cloven-hoofed individual, the
promoter, into the amateur game.
In this objection concur. The pro-
moter, l think, should be kept out of
the game. But the open tournaments
could be promoted by the amateur
clubs themselves, and thus the money
would be turned back into the anna
teur game.
One last objection has it that even
if the amateurs we're to let down the
bars and consent to play a tennis
Open, the professionals would, at the
eleventh hour, refuse to take the
court, being unwilling to risk their
regulations and hence their income.
1t was at Wimbledon last summer
that reporter told me he had been
RELIABLY informed" that the pro-
fessionals would refuse to play in a
proposed open tournament.
1t happened that Don Bulge, the
professional champion, was sprawled
on a settee behind me- leaned back
and asked him.
"Me play in an Open?" chuckled

pro to sign upv'
He might be the first to sign, but
he'd have a job beating Old Man
Tilden to the dotted line. I'd play
in such tournament just for the
chance to improve our younger play
ers, and help save amateur tennis in
this country.

SHIPPING PROBLEMS

American exporters who have goods
and materials ready to ship abroad to fill
orders already placed are having diff
Guilty in obtaining vessels to transport
them. 1t is reported, for example, that
half a million bales of cotton are at Gulf
ports awaiting shipment, with few ships
available.
Increasing quantities of manufac-
tured goods, in addition to farm products,
are also crowding various American ports,
awaiting foreign vessels to carry them to
countries which can not be reached by our
own ships, because of the war zone ban
imposed by the neutrality act.
Additional handicaps to the move
ment of goods from the United States to
belIigerent countries and their neutral
neighbors are seen in advancing freight
rates, and higher war risk insurance
premiums.
Rates on cotton from Gulf ports to
Liverpool have doubled and the cost of
transporting wheat has almost trebled
since the war began, according to the
United States News.
Most OF the Allied merchant ships are
engaged in transporting war supplies and
in keeping open their own foreign trade
routes, so neutral vessels are in great de-
mand, with so many American ships tied
up through being forbidden to sail in wa
tiers designated as danger areas.
Whether some mf rs to relieve the
shortage of availabr shipping can be
found later is one { rhe serious problems
created by the war
Some alleviat m of the situation is
seen in recent mo es to sell U. S. privately
owned freighters to South American coun-
tries who have no neutrality provisions
such as now exist in this country End who
can engage in foreign shipping. There
will be huge profits for such shipping COM
panies if the plan goes through.

Youth
Must Be Cav
By Katherine EdeLman

HTSN'T this the most exciting
event?" Marjorie Hanson's blue
eyes were shining as she spoke.
Imagine your Uncle Warren giving
such a party. The pieces just don't
fit together"
There was ample reason for Mar
jorie's beWilderment. Until tonight
there was not a single thing to show
that Warren Brownlee had anything
but criticism for the younger gen.
Grafton. He had been unrelentingly
severe in his judgments of even the
most simple pleasures. Now, to the
establishment of all who knew him,
he had thrown the big house open
for New Years party. It's gloomy
rooms were changed into connecting
halls of gaiety and laughter.
Everything was there to make the
occasion merry. Horns, whistles,
balloons, silly caps, streamers and
confetti. 1t seemed as if Uncle War
rem had gone all the way; nothing
was lacking to make a successful
