Grand Slam For Ted?

That rough and tumble
tennis ace, Ted Schroeder,
has his eye on a triple
crown. Can he make it?
Tn FICTION, the tennis hero wins
Il Wimbledon or the Nationals
at Forest Hills, suddenly becomes
a big-league celebrity. The high
life beckons, invitations pour in.
Enter the heroine. A pretty girl
with New England conscience,
she persuades the hero to give up
the glamour, settle down in a SUBJ
urb. plug away at a plebeian job.
Ted Schroeder won the Nation
ais, helped bring the Davis Cup
back to America. He then married
Anne deWindt, daughter of Delano
deWindt, headmaster of Sheffield
Academy in the Berkshires. He
gave up tournament tennis, settled
down at La Crescenta, Calf, to
work for a refrigerator company.
But this spring Ted tore up the
script. He set his sights on
the three major targets in the
world of tennis - Wimbledon,
Forest Hills, and the Davis Cup.
In other words, the grand slam"
of tennis. After that, tennis follow
ers predict, he'll turn pro, tour the
world with his old friend, Jack Kra-
mer, make $4,000 the first year.
Does the Impossible
r OR any other amateur today,
such plan would seem like a case
of megalomania. But not for Ted
Schroeder. Ted is aggressive, blunt,
self-con6dent. What's more, he not
only says he can do the seemingly
impossible; he does it.
Last year, for the Davis Cup
matches against Australia, the
U. S. found itself without singles
player who could be counted on to
beat the Aussies. Ted was sum-
moned out Of retirement. Playing
on grass for the first time in a
year, he skidded to defeat after
Evening star., 1949-08-21

defeat in warm-up tournaments.
The Challenge Round began.
Schroeder suddenly changed from
a playful bear cub to a roaring
Alaskan grizzly. He stormed the
net, belted the ball for a fare-thee-
we'll, blasted the Aussies, led the
u. S. team to so victory.
At first glance this expedition
looked like gamble at long odds.
Actually it was a typical Schroeder
plan, plotted to the last detail,
executed by a pugnacious player
who trains to a razor's edge. Ac-
cording to Alrick Man, Ted is the
planningest guy I've ever known"
He Went to Work
l HE Aussies should have known
what they were up against. In 1916
Ted had just come out of the Navy,
weighing l72 pounds. In Mel
bourne for the Challenge Round
he not only practiced long and
hard every day; he joined a gym
to strengthen his stomach muscles.
Non-playing Captain Walter
Pate decided that Schroeder's bel
ligerent game would be a better bet
than Frank Parker's steady one.
Result: magnificent rhubarb.
Parker left for the States in huff.
AS the international storm ragged,
Ted Schroeder marched out into
kooyoung Stadium at his favorite
fighting weight - l48 pounds. He
had shed "a pounds. He was at his
peak as he and Jack Kramer wal
loped the Aussies so and brought
home the Cup.
schroeder l949 tennis pro-
gram is the most ambitious
plan the ''planningest player"
ever drew up. He won at Wimble-
don; the next two weeks will tell
the story on the Davis Cup and
the Nationals at Forest Hills. If he
makes it, he'll do it the hard way,
fighting his way up in gruelling
fve-set matches. The experts have
never classed Schroeder as a tennis
great" But he's a winner.

CLEVELAND (ANP) With ann
ouncement that Is postal emp
loyees were fired this week in
Cleveland for alleged Commun-
istic activities, Ashby Carter, nat
ional president, National Alliance
of Postal Employees protested a.
gainst what he claimed was bias
in the post Office loyalty hearing.
Pointing out that 10 of those
discharged were Negroes, four
Jews, and only four whites, Cart
er said the Cleveland action was
similar to like action taken in 9TH
err cities including Philadelphia,
Chicago, Kansas City, and Seattle
Also denouncing the post Office
was Betram A. washington, pres
ident of the Cleveland branch of
the NAPE. He said: Judging
from the record of these empl-
oyees now suspended, the action
confirms our original conviction
that the Investigation vas the
product of the governments pol
icy Of anti-Semitism and anti
Negroism in the post Office de-
partment."
Carter commented: "The suspen-
sio of Negro postal employees in
Cleveland coupled with similar
suspensions in Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Kansas City, and Seattle
emphasizes a challenge to all
freedom loving Americans to rec
cognize and combat the apparent
efforts of someone in the post
Office department to destroye the
progress made against racial dis
elimination.
"The NAPE has every confidence
in the loyalty of the suspended
men, and will call upon every 10y
al American to join in the fight
against those who seem to be
blended against truth, justice,
and fair play.
