Forest Hills Finds Good Form
A Specially of Ginger Rogers
BY the Associated Press

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. "a.
Ginger Rogers is not going to
blow any opponents off the court
in the National tennis champion
ships next week, but she'll bear
watching.
Watching is the incest part Of
Miss Rogers tennis game.
This was the main reaction
after the blond movie star was
presented in a sort of sneak pre-
view at the exclusive west side
tennis club yesterday.
Ginger whacks a pretty good
tennis ball, although she's much
too ladylike with her volleys, and
she went through three hard sets
without ruff1ing so much as hair
on her pretty blond head.
Her hair was pulled back off
her ears and dropped in a neat
knot halfway down her back.
She wore brief pleated shorts
and blouse, leaving her slender
midriff bare. A pink handker-
chief at her throat and pink socks
added touch of color.
The straight-laced West Side

case-particularly the scorers who
elbowed as close as they could to
see if she could hit a forehand.
The shapely lady from Holly
wood obliged with a graceful show.
She teamed with Igor CasSini,
New York society columnist, to
score a 40, 60, 8-6 victory
over Sports Writer Jim Burchard
and Model Jean French in a ce-
lebrity tournament.
She showed good form on her
forehand. Also backhand. service,
smash, drop-shot and while stop
ping to get drink of water.
Once when she dubbed a shot
she reprimanded herself: "Oh,
Ginger. you clumsy dope" Just
like the pros.
She was hardly putting when
she came off the court. gold ear
rings dangling at her neck.

Schedule Against Kiner,
Pirates Official SAYS
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24.-Roy
Hamey, general manager of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, hopes he's
wrong, but he is afraid the sched-
ule will prevent Ralph Kiner from
menacing Babe Ruth's record of
so homers.
NATURALLY, I'd like nothing bet
ter than to have Ralph shatter
that record" Hamey said. "but we
play only eight home games the
last month of the season, and
it is at Pittsburgh where he really
clouts the ball. The opposing
pitchers say our left-field fence
comes in every time Kiner comes
up to the plate
Kiner now has 38 homers. He
hit 54 last year.
Hamey is on West Coast scout

U. 5. Davis Cup Chief
Looks for Toughest
Battle in Il Years
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The
captain of Uncle Sans Davis
Cup forces predicted victory over
Australia in the week end chal-
lenge matches, but added today it
will be the toughest series in IL
years.
II think We'll have the closest
battle since Australia won the cup
from us in 1885," said Alrick H.
Man, jr., big white haired nom
playing leader, "but I'm con-
vinced we'll take it,
Harry Hopman, the little red
haired captain of the invading
Aussies, wore a worried look and
said: IT don't even know how I'll
line up my team yet"
The strongest team Australia
has assembled since the war will
attempt to wrest the big trophy
from the United States in
matches tomorrow, Saturday and
Sunday at Forest Hills.
In 1899 Australia's John Bromz
wich and Adrian Quist lost the
first two matches to Americas
Bobby Riggs and frankie Parker
and then stormed back for three
straight triumphs.
Australians Hungry.
Since then, the AuSsieS have
won only two points. There was
no play during the war and, TAX
ing up again in 1916, the United
States racquet stars recaptured
the cup and held it with firm
hand. Their dominance went
like this: SO, Al, SO, Al.
The aging but still willy Brom-
wich is key factor in the new
est Australian challenge.
Hopman wouldn't say but he in
dicated Bromwich's name will be
in the big envelope with that of
Australian Champion Frank Sedg-
man when he makes his singles
nominations today.
The United States is certain to
go with the cup veteran, Ted
Schroeder, and the unpredictable
Tom Brown, jr., in the singles.
Doubles on both sides appeared
q question mark.
Discussing the matches, Hop
man said if BromWich had very
tough time in his opening singles
he might use the younger George
Worthington WITH Sedgman in
doubles in place of Bromwich.
May Draft Schroeder.
Most Tennis observers, however,
couldn't see Hopman breaking up
a tandem that has shown clear
superiority over the United States
pair-Gardnar Mulloy and Billy
Talbert, longtime national champs.
On the other side, there was a
strong hint that Schroeder, now at
the peak of his game, might be
drafted to play doubles with Null
10y.
Il don't concede Australia the
doubles yet," Man said. He added
that he feels sure the enemy would
use Bromwich in singles instead
of the 20-year- -old Ken McGregor
The first two singles matches
are scheduled tomorrow, with dou-
bles Saturday and the final singles
Sunday.
