Perhaps the biggest and best
Halloween party for the grown
ups was given on Wednesday
evening of last week by DR.. and
Mrs. Joseph S. Mach and Mr..
and Mrs. David B. Greene. at the
Greene farm on the way to
Thompsonville. Invitations had
been out for some time in which
the guests were requested to
dress like Daisy May and Little
Abner of the comic strips. no
couple guessing that other eou-
pies would be similarly dressed.
The party was given in the very
modern chicken house lately
built and was decorated gayly
and colorfulIy for the occasion.
A program dance was the order
of the evening, with specialties
happening every other number.
An amateur contest was also
carried on, during which Bossy
came in for an extra milking.
Prizes for a number of things
were given, DIR. and Mrs. Harry
Richardson, of Newark, winning
the one awarded to the couple
looking most like Daisy May and
Little Abner. A country bar was
set up for the refreshments and
the evening progressed to the
end with much fun and hilarity,
when all wished the hosts a good
night and expressed their appre-
citation of a happy Halloween.

want them TO, why stop play and
bite them on the handles" he has
been quoted as saying. And. if
biting does not make the racquets
stop making poor shots Kovacs
scales them over the backstop or
beats their tender noggins on the
ground.
The Califorrian's court behavior
is not that of the stern, grim war
rior. He has little of the door die
attitude He laughs a lot. sings
snatches of popular songs while
whamming into forehands and
backhands, and occasionally exc
cutes a step or two of the latest
dance.
Kovacs has a terrific game to 90
with his tom foolery. AS long ago
as two years, before he had be-
come hardened in big-league ten
mis- competition, he was capable of
making Don Bulge play his very
best in practice matches on the
coast. His quick and sure defeat
of Riggs is proof that his game has
few weaknesses, because Riggs is
a master at exploiting flaw in an
opponents equipment.
Let us hope that Kovacs does win
the national title. because the For
est Hills parade has been a very
sombre one since Tilden went
pure" and turned professional.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3. (UP)-Ten-
mis- hasn't had crackpot chap
ion since william Tatum Tilden
the twice reached an age where
carpet slippers were more becom-
ing TO him than sneakers, and you
could tell how well he was playing
by listening to the creaking of his
vertebrae.
There has been a number OF play
ers with crackpot leanings, such as
George Lott, who played before
the now dowager queen of England
at Wimbledon with his shirt tail
whippink the breeze. and who once
threatened to punch the nose of
a pompous and astigmatic umpire
during a semi-final match at the
exclusive Queens club. There was
the Rumanian Davis-cupper with
the unspellable name who, when
the officials wouldn't halt his
match with Fred Perry, unfurled
an umbrella and held it over his
head during the final set. There
was Jack Tidball. the terrible
tempered Mr.. Bang" who gave
himself pep talks in resounding
voice while engaged in play, and
there is the current Gil Hunt
the mad mathematician whoe an
tics don't add up. And. of course.
big game hunter, E. Gander-Dow-
err, who preferred to play the game
while CARRIED for safari in the
Congo.
But rome of these men quite had
or have the strokes to become
champion. Now, however, the game
of tennis promises to produce, and
in the very near future, screw
bail skilled enough to win the
singles title. ! speak of course of
Frank Kovacs. the 20-year-old CAL
ifornian who whipped Bobby Rikgs,
the present No. / player, in four
sets in the semi final round at
Southampton yesterday.
Kovacs still has long way to
go as a zany before he acquires
the statue of a Tilden. but he is
advancing rapidly. Reports reach us
that Kovacs' comments as he races
about the court are remindful of
Bob Hope or Milton Berle be-
fore a microphone, and that these
ad Ibis are spoken in a voice that
overcones the poor acoustics of a
tennis court and are audible to
everyone in the gallery
