A week ago, Columbus, Kansas City, Milwaukee and Toledo, drew a com- bined attendance of 33,000. The other half of the league was out to beat that mark. Columbus’ 12,000 opening day crowd was the individual target. Columbus was at Louisville, where a boosters’ organization hoped for a crowd of 15,000, but probably was will- ing to settle for 8,000. Minneapolis, the current league-leader, with Mil- waukee as the opposition, expected to go on display before from 7,000 to 10,000 customers. St. Paul, meeting Kansas City, figured to do about as well as Minneapolis. Toledo and In- dianapolis figured to play before around 6,000. The all-time record attendance for eight games—91,000 in 1927, appeared safe. ee ‘Athletics for All’ .|| Followed at U. N. D. ee ee Grand Forks, N.

Neither will there be loud yammering alibis hinting at over- training, dissension in the ranks, and inability on clay courts. The reason, gentle reader, will be that the Yanks will win the Davis Cup and there won't be anything to holler about. You'll probably recall “Elly” Vines’ collapse in his singles match with Fred Perry, English star, at Stade Ro- land Garros. That climaxed the de- feat of the American stars, the only bright spot of which was George Lott and Johnny Van Ryn coming through in the doubles. Alibis were immediately forthcom- ing from Bernon 8.

He is a former Davis Cup player himself, and once ranked as ruler of the netters. He has inaugurated a series of spring workouts, scheduled to start early next month, and: these are in- tended to get the players in shape and to judge their merits. His methods are altogether different from those of Prentice, who had none of Wil- lams’ experience. Five players have been selected for this session—and their selection re- flects the good judgment of Williams. These stars are Frank Shields, Les Stoefen, George Lott, Sidney Wood, and Wilmer Allison. Johnny Van’ Ryn was invited to take part, but he announced that business interfered. It is possible that Cliff Sutter, ranking No. 4 player in the United States, also may be included in this list, for a short time ago, the New Or- leans comet revealed that the south- ern association of the tennis body would threaten to secede if Wood were selected for cup play instead of himself.
