> YOUNGSTER CRABS NO.2RATING AFTER. ~HALTING EDUCATION| May Solve Uncle Sam’s Prob- lem- of Finding Singles -. Mate for Don Budge DEFEATED ‘BITSY’ GRANT ‘Student of Mercer Beasley Said , to Have Ideal Tennis Temperament “New York, Jan, 27.—(NEA)—Three years ago young Frankie Parker de- cided he wasn't going to allow tennis to interfere with his education, so the United States lost a potential Davis Cup star. cently Parker changed his mind, decided that higher learning at Law- renceville, N. J., Academy wasn't go- ing to interfere with his career as a netter. Uncle Sam’s problem of finding someone to pair with Don Budge in Davis Cup play next sum- mer how apparently is solved. It was in the fall of 1935 that Par- ker, discovered in Milwaukee as a ball boy by ‘Mercer Beasley, noted tennis coach, made his decision in favor of tennis, ‘His career had been hot and cold. At 16 he won. the men’s western championship, defeating George Lott and big Les Stoefen on the way. He was hailed as a brilliant youngster, one of the foremost exponents of Beasley's teachings. Parker was called the machine player with only one fault—lack of a forehand. Not only did he realize it, but his opponents did, too, and played to his weakness. 5 Missed Winter Circuit Great credit must be given the 20- year-old youngster for getting as far as he did without a forehand attack. He was beating all the top-notchers at 16 and 17, and in 1934, the year he voted for book learnin’, he was ranked in fourth place nationally. He was practically conceded a place on the 1935 cup squad. But pursuit of knowledge no doubt affected Frankie's game. He couldn't get into winter net action in the south without leaving school before term ended. Consequently, he played his first tournament late in June or July, and wasn't in the tip-top condi- tion necessary to compete on even terms with those amateurs who fol- lowed the winter trail. Instead of his forehand improving, | & it became worse. Wouldn't Swing on It “He just won't swing on it,” Beasley declared, “I've tried to make him do it, but he just won't. It may be that his school work is affecting his play.| . Anyhow, he doesn’t want to go back to his books, and perhaps he'd better do one thing or the other, He's not getting anywhere with his tennis, that’s sure.” So Parker took a trip to Bermuda last winter with Beasley. There, with his teacher driving him constantly, he changed his forehand style. That he has improved -considerably is seen in the recent rankings of tie U. 8. Lawn ‘Tennis Association, which places him in No, 2>position behind Don Budge, and ahead. of such stars as Bitsy Grant, Robert Riggs, Gregory Man- gin, and others. He was ranked at seventh place in the last ratings. Off to Good Start His showing on grass courts last year was gratifying to Beasley, and he ‘went as high as the semi-finals of the national singles last fall before being eliminated by Don Budge. In the recent. Sugar Bow! tourna- ment in New Orleans, Parker started off the current Winter season by tak- ing the measure of Bitsy Grant in the final in three straight sets, a feat few hhave been able to do recently. subsequent entry in other southern tournaments indicates that he doesn’t intend to let edueation interfere with his chances to pair with Budge on the Davis Cup squad this season. ‘The. youngster has.an ideal tennis temperament.

The score supposedly was 29-28 for Valley City when the gun sounded. Then, while the players dressed in the locker rooms, Official Scorer B. W. Condit checked his totals and found they tallied.

Those who saw him against Eddie Simms, who was knocked out in a round by Louis last December, figure Bob has just one chance. Against Simms he hit the deck five times, bounced up and kept on throwing punches until he earned a draw.
