NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The ma

Practically all the talk in the club
house last night was about the
Parker-Segura match, with opinion
closely divided on the outcome
Probably slim ma iority-which in
cluded this observer-favored the
27-year-old Parker.
Schroeder, largely on the strength
of his brilliant and hard earned vic
tory over Alejo Russell of the Argen-

an odds-on bet against Mulloy in
the other match.
An extra-specia1 treat for the

West Side Tennis Club. host club to

Judging from a rehearsal last
