Judging from the recent inter-
est shown in Negro tennis by the

the next major sport of which bar
riers of prejudice shall be broken.
Experts are beginning to speculate
as to what would be the actual re-
suit if Negro players were subject
ed to keener competition. Jimmy
McDaniels' match with Don
Bulge probably started the specu-
lations, and his showing in the New
