Ohio last spring, he had played around the world.
 He had beaten the national cham pion, Bobby Riggs, to win the clay court title. But still no one took McNeill very seriously until the third set of the tournament final match.
 Riggs had won the first two sets in slow play before McNeill broke loose with the best tennis of his career to take the match, 4-6, 6-8, 6-3, 6-3 and 7-5.
 A number of younger stars won their spurs in the tournament. Vic tor Seixas, IT, came close to top bling Frank Kovacs. Jack Kra- mer, 19, did beat Sidney Wood and Frank Parker.
 Young Welby Van Horn, who be- came the sensation of the 1889 tour nament by beating John Bromwich and going to the finals, was the principal disappointment of the year. Joe Hunt, the midshipman, failed to reach the heights he touched in Davis Cup play.
 In November Miss Marble-who won her third straight singles title with an easy 6-3, 6-3 victory over \ Helen Jacobs-was induced to aban- don her amateur status to inject glamor into the languid pro game. Her decision left the ranks of wo- men players singularly destitute. Re- maining are Miss Jacobs, who held the title four times in another era, Sarah Palfrey and Dorothy Bundy as well as a number of younger players like Pauline Betz, Virginia Wolfenden, Helen Bernhard and Hope Knowles.

NO PRESIDENT ever entered
the White House with brighter
prospects than Herbert Clark
Hoover; yet four years later he
went down to defeat in the most
drastic reversal Of presidential his
tory. The Great Depression, begin
ming the same year that Hoover
took Office, was the prime factor
in his downfall; but there were sew
eral other contributing causes.
Hoover's opponents contended
that. after appointing the Wicker
sham commission to investigate
prohibition, he had failed TO act on
its findings. They asserted that he
had opposed the Smoot-Hawley
tariff as unsound. yet had signed
1t without protest. They character
izcd his farm board as a dismal
failure. In all such actions, Charles
Nicholson, Democratic publicity
chief, hammered away at Hoovers
popularity.
When the stock market plum
melted on Oct. "a, 1929, Democrats
attempted to fix the blame on
Hoover and his party. Months
passed, Hoover asserted business
was fundamentally sound" and
business continued to decline
Wages were slashed, millions lost
their jobs, and breadlines length
ened alarmingly. Replying to in
cessant- criticism Hoover pointed
out that the worldwide character
Of the depression proved the abb
