,zzY BELLS, NEW TENNIS


law Bells, the twenty-year old
Jewish yOungster who halls from
Vest Philadelphia, is a nine
sIarm fire on the Eastern Tennis
rourts this season. Years ago this
Id swept through the Boys Ma
EiOnal Indoor Championships like
prairie confIagratiOn, but that
|vas back in 1885 and Izzy just
thinks of those days and NC h
eats as "id stuff" Today, on
III second tour of the Grand Cir
suit the Bells lad is once again
husy with the 'Big Time"
Now the game of tennis-tour-
lament tennis, please,-is still a
sport. AS such, tennis
tournaments sanctioned by the
United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
Eiation are usually held on the
most exclusive courts in the coun-
|rv. Here in the East, a compe-
titive swing around the match
ourts calls for stOp-overs at such
bltra-swank whistle stops as New
Tort, Southampton, Forest Hills,
seabright and sundry other Ten
lis and Cricket clubs, where even
he ball boys are pedigreed re-
'rievers. Thus, for a young Jewish
ennis player, who practices his
anne during off hours from his
pb in the Philadelphia Store of
Eimbel Brothers basement, such
tour is hot stuff. Incidentally,
zzy's job is in the ping-pong de-
artment.)
And, as we've said, Izzy has
cen wandering from one tOurna-
nent to another, chOpping down
pine very high and mighty he
pes in the tennis world. Thus far
bis season the kids been hot, but

! future. "Give me three or four
more years." he says, "and if Pm
not among the first twenty tennis
players in national ranking, I'll
hand in my tennis racket and turn
to ping-pOng in a big way"
(Please don't laugh. Izzy lost out
for the worlds table title only by
being beaten by SOIly Schiff-the
worlds champ at the time of the
match.)
BORN IN RUSSIA IN 1920
Izzy meets many emergencies
but ne was fitted to meet any and
all exigencies by early training.
Born in Russia twenty ye,ars ago,
ne was rendered homeless at age
of one by the persecution that
followed the Red Revolution and
brought to this country as a refu-
gee by his parents. In the course
of time he entered the Wharton
School of Business at the Univer-
slty of Pennsylvania and was cap
tain of the Pennsy tennis team
while an undergraduate.
The game of tennis came to him
naturally and, as pointed out pre-
viOuSly, the lad was the National
Boys Champion at the age of fiji
teen. AS captain of the U. of p.
racket squad Izzy met many of
the blue-blOOded champs he's
meeting on the Grand Swing these
days. Among his victims thus far
have been such familiar names as
Joe Hunt, lieutenant in Uncle
Sans Navy (whOm Izzy defeated
for intercollegiate honOrs last
year,; Van Horn, Berkeley,
Phipps and Franks. But at that,
Izzy must be ranked as one of
the StrangeSt characters of mod
ern days inaSmuch as he thinks
ping pong a much tougher game
than the heritage of Wightman
and Tilden.
"Ping-pong," says Izzy, 'is a
game in which you have to be in
good shape. You must be ready
to go thirty feet in back of the
table to make a shot and all of
that distance must be covered in
quick, short, mincing steps. Keep
that up for a couple Of days and
you'll wind up talking to your
self"
An expert talked to us of L.
Zy'S game. Said GrantIand Rice at
Seabright: "Izzy's game is nothing
to rave about. In fact, it is strict
ly ObStructiOnist. Never does he
try to kill shot. His main idea
seems to be to lob that apple back
over the net. He keeps tossing it
back to his opponents until they

just give up. Izzy never is caught
out of position and never hits a
ball hard enough to make a mis-
take. But he's got the stuff from
which champs are built"
1t might be interesting to learn
that Izzy has as his patron saint
the head of the Philadelphia Ten
mis- Association, Paul Gibbons, and
it is because of Gibbons interces-
sion for Bells that Izzy has been
getting bids fro m these select
lawn parties. Take the Seabright
tournament, for example: Izzy
was working in the ping-pong di-
vision in GimbeIs basement, when
Paul Gibbons, the Irish prexy who
loves lost causes, came up to him
and said, 1--WE got you bid as an
added starter at Seabright. Hop
down and show them what you
can do"
"But my job"
Don't worry, I'll get you the
day Off"
Now with such players as Sid
ney Wood, the Wimbledon star,
and S. Welby Van Horn, runner
up for national hOnOrs last year,
and Joe Hunt and others of the
same ilk in the tournament, Izzy
was sure he'd never need a pair
of pajamas; nexer figuring he
would last through one days play.
Paul Gibbons figured that way,
too, ar gave Bells enough mon
ey for a round trip ticket between
Philly and that New Jersey
swanktOrium. On arrival Izzy
learned that he had drawn a bye
gave him an extra day.
He had no money to stay at a hO-
tel and couldn't put up at the Sea-
bright club (Tennis, being the pc
culiar game that it is, provides
that only the first ranking twenty
can be boarded rent free at tour
nament club.) But Izzy found a
friend and entered the lists the
next morning. In turn he took
care of Joe Hunt and when he dis
posed of S. Welby Van Horn, even
Alice Marble took notice with the
laughing lob.
Entering the quarter finals he
was scheduled to m t Sidney
Wood the Wimbledon Ace and Da-
Wis cup player. Said Izzy, wood
probably will knock my brains
out" qualifying this statement by
pointing out that he (Izzy)
couldn't get any professional prac-
tice around such parts. (Tennis,
being the peculiar game that it is,
provides rubbers and trainers and
other conditioners to bring rank
ers of Woods calibre onto the
courts ready to play Tilden at his
best. A benign Bells is just so
much hamburger.)
Wood took Bells into camp, but
as result Bells went to New
port, and at the present writing
is still touring the swank spots of
the East.
P. S. It may be interesting to
note that although there is but one
Jewish player with any definite
promise of crashing the sacred
twenty at Forest Hills this year,
there are more Jewish contestants
on the Grand Swing this year than
ever before. Hank Prusoff of Sc
attic is given the nod to enter the
center court at Forest Hills, but
the work of Bells and Sidney
Greenberg (who already has beat
en- Bitsy Grant twice this year,
and Marvin Kantrowitz and Joe
Fishbach is not to be belittled.
Remember the promise Bells
made to quit tennis unless he was
up in the brackets in four years.
Such is the stuff Of which champ
ions are made.
