SPORTS. SEARCH FORSTARS MUST BEKEPT 0P Van Ryn and Allison Great in‘ Doubles, but That Is Far’ From Enough. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. FANY -person anywhere throughout the country discovers in the bushes a lawn tennis player who impresses him as qualified to develop into a erack international singles perform- er he will do the United States Lawn Tennis Association a great favor by wiring information concerning his c# - covery to 120 Broadway. With returns of the recent Davis Cup matches in hand it is clear that this country at present lacks any young player who promises to develop into a Tilden, a Johnston, a Lacoste or & Cochet Van Ryn and Allison make up 2 splendid doubles team, the best in the world: but the Davis Cup cannot be won on the basis of doubles play. And fnasmuch as excellence in doubles does not. necessarily imply outstanding abil- ity in singles, the success of this young pair as a team is not accepted by the tennis authorities as prima facie evi- dence that either or both will assume world stature when playing alone. It may happen, of course. Meanwhile the U. . L. T. A. will not be overlooking any singles prospects throughout the country. Fans Pay Neat Sum. The 15,000 crowds at the challenge round in France, combined with a fair attendance at the interzone match in | Berlin, give American officials as-| gurance of an entirely satisfactory | financial situation as regards 1929. The | best seats at the Roland Garros | Stadium in Paris cost $12 each and.! since the arena was a sell-out every day of the matches, the gate undoubt- | ediy attained a large total. Of this the | United States Association, after ex- penses for three players have been de- ducted, will receive 50 per cent of the net. WOMAN RACKETERS Money thus received will be deposited in the Davis Cup war chest, which is| maintained at a sum of $25000. A/ balance thus large is necessary, as will be clear when it is set forth that had| the Germany Davis Cup team elimi-| nated the Americans in the interzone | round, Germany and not the United States would have shared in the big Paris gate. In such case the U. S. L T. A. would have been obliged to dig into its reserve to supplement receipts accruing from the German round in paying the expenses of the six players who were sent abroad. | Ausses Go Broke. | | HERE IS HOW G Helen Wills, just back from her successes abroad, is preparing for Wightman Cup matches with British girls.

The selection of the two California stars for the No. 1 and No. 2 positions in the matches against the British women at Forest Hills, August 9 and 10, was announced yesterday, and at the same time the United States Lawn Tennis Association announced that the other places would be filled on the basis of performances at the Seabright tour- nament now in progress, and at Eas hampton.

His stock has risen in value every time he has appeared on the court and since his brilliant 9—7, 0—6, 6—4 victory over Gregory Mangin of Georgetown, thirteenth ranking Ameri- can player, yesterday, he is being con- | sidered as a possible winner of the fa- | mous Seabright singles bowl. In Richard N. Williams, 2d, national champlon back in 1914 and 1916, the South African Davis Cup player has drawn a semi-final opponent worthy of his steel. That much was indicated clearly when Williams, playing the in- spired tennis of his best days, downed Julius Seligson, the former inter- collegiate champion from Lehigh, in straight sets in the third round. Selig- | son, ranked ninth in the Nation, was a | logical favorite, but his comparatively | stereotyped driving game could not cope with the marksmanship of the old Davis | Cup campaigner from Philadelphia. | While these two colorful figures are | fighting it out in the lower half of the | draw, & pair of America’s most promis- | ing younger players will be battling in the ‘upper division. John Doeg, stal- | wart Santa Monica, Calif., southpaw, ranks eighth in the Nation and should be favored over Berkeley Bell, the hard- | working Texan, who is rated eleventh, | but on their play in this tournament | there appears to be little to choose be- | tween them. | Doeg had a fairly hard fight before he downed Gilbert Hall, South Orange N.

The fashionably attired gallery had something additional to conjecture about when Betty Nuthall, young Eng- lish girl star, made her first appearance in competition on an American court since 1927. Miss Nuthall was playing in a mixed doubles exhibition with her Wightman Cup teammate, Mrs. Phoebe Watson, and the play of both English girls was watched intently as an indica- tion of what may be expected of them in the series with America's best girl players at Forest Hills next week. Miss Nuthall abandoned the Frau Radke i the 800 meters gained TWO YOUNG GIRLS REACH FINAL IN GOLF TOURNEY CHICAGO, August 1 (#).—Mary Eliza- beth Ford of Kansas City and Ariel Vilas of Chicago, neither of whom has reached her sixteenth year, today were to battle it out for the Western woman's Jjunior golf champlonship at the Evans- ton Country Club.
