CHAREST 1S AMONG PLAVERST0 SCORE Veteran Shows He Is Ready to Defend Title—Mangan Also Is Winner. LARENCE M. CHAREST, veteran District one-arm netman, is up to his old -~ tricks. Year after year the popular racketer has started slowly, only to dramatically sweep to the top of his game in the Dis- trict chamPlonshlp. Only a few weeks ago tennis ob- servers were predicting that Charest had little chance of retaining his Dis- trict title. They conceded that he in- variably has shown at his best in the District championships, but they fig- ured that he had been able to get in such a limited amount of practice that he hardly could be expected to again come through victorious. Their opinion seemed to be justified, too, for Charest ‘was way off his game until the current championships got under way. Goes to Eourth Round. But the doughty veteran appears now to have a real chance of successtully defending his title if his work so far means anything. Yesterday he swept to the fourth round when he van- ° quished Aaron Miller of Baltimore, 6—3, 5—7, 6—4. He exhibited the canny tactics that have been his forte through years of grueling competition and the ability to come through when he most needed, which has ever been characteristic of the player who, inci- dentally, is widely known as a sports- man of the highest type. Another veteran also showed strongly yesterday in a day which saw favorites continue to advance. Tom Mangan, long a high-ranking player hereabout, layed fine tennis despite that he was Elndlcnpped by & blister on his foot ‘which it was feared would prevent him from competing. But, game to the core, Mangan insisted upon continuing Elly and won two matches, defeating Garber, former Western High star, now of Duke University, 6—0, 6—1, and Elmer Rudy of Baltimore, 6—2, 6—3. Critics said they had seldom seen him play better. Bob Considine and Dooly Mitchell of this city and Billy Jacobs of Baltimore, Middle Atlantic junior champion, were other seeded players to advance. Play of J. L. Moorhead, Washington boy, who attends the Schoate School in Wallingford, Conn., continued to oe & feature as he disposed of Larry Seidell, 6—3, 6—1. The Considine - Mangan duo, which won the doubles title last season, drew & first-round bye. Good Matches Today. Most of ths favorites were expected to get stern opposition today. Charest was to engage Ensign Farrine of the | Navy Legeh Cup team; Mangan was to face Ladd, sturdy Washington racketer, Considige was to have it out with H. Ritzenderg; Mitchell was to face Moor- head and Jacobs was to meet Frank Shore, runner-up for the Middle At- lantic junior title. Yesterday's summaries and today's schedule: Summaries. SINGLES.

How? Why it's a cinch! Allison and Van Ryn win the doubles from Cochet and Brugnon, Tilden wins from Borotra and loses to Co- chet, as he did at Auteil in May in the French hardcourt champion- ships, and either Allison, Lott or Doeg wins from Borotra and loses to Cochet, America thus winning the chalienge round to be played July 25, 26 and 27, three matches to two. Sounds simple, doesn't it! | o Da N 19 WHO HELPED BRING BACK THE VIS CUP FROM AusTRALIA IN 1920, AND WHO MA "BRING IT BHCPéoFT\’OM YFR’AN(‘E Metropolitan Newspaper Feature Servics, Ine Yes, and it may be, but three things might happen to mess up this plan more than a little. (1) ‘Tilden might not be selected to play or might refuse to accept the invitation | if invited. (2) Borotra might beat Lott, as he did last year, or Allison or Doeg. (3) Either Italy or Japan, who meet on July 11, 12 and 13 for the right to play in the interzone finals on July 18, 19 and 20, might beat the United States. But here's hoping that Big Bill does play and play as only he can, and that the youngsters come through, as well they may, and then the historic old mug will take another ocean voyage, and not to Japan, either. | Wouldn't it be immense if Big Bill did stage just one more grand and glorious Davis Cup comeback and repeat what he did 10 years ago, i.e., help bring back the trophy from a foreign land? (Tilden and Little Bill Johnston, it will be remembered, brought back the blg bowl from Australasia in_ 1920, after beating Brookes and Patterson In all ‘lve matches.) Big Bill, it might be stated here, has won 33 Davis Cup matches and lost only six in 10 years of play in both singles and doubles. Now, just a few words about the four youngsters who, it is hoped, will form_the basis of winning teams for the United States im future years. First, Allison and Van Ryn, that irrepressible pair of Southerners | HELP TN W 1930—PAR —BY FEG MURRAY AI.LlsoN (Allison is from San Antonio, Tex., and Van Ryn was born in New%on. News, Va.). Allison is 25, Van Ryn 24. They are a great doubles team. G. Martin Lott, 2d (don't call him “George” any more) may be the man of destiny in this year's cam- paign. He has conquered his tem- | per, improved his backhand, and is taking the game more seriously than ever. Paired with Johnny Doeg, left-hander from California, he won the national doubles championship } last August. Lott is 23 and Doeg is 21. Doeg is third ranking United | States player. His service and over- | head are reminiscent of Maurie Me- | Loughlin, but his ground strokes | need improvement. CONNEGTICUT CREW BEATEN AT HENLEY Kent School Victim of Dope Upset in Semi-Finals.

Schmeling and Jacobs made a fine gesture, but there always will be suspi- clous persons who will wonder whether they had the slightest idea of giving Sharkey another chance this year. Any- how, condition was piled upon condi- tion, until an agreement became im- possible. ‘When Sharkey agreed to wage a re- turn bout practically for nothing, it looked as if he had the German boy in a pretty tight fix.

From a business standpoint, Schmeling | may be wise in waiting until next June oefore boxing Sharkey again. He wasn't doing any too well up to the time of the foul, and a lot of things can happen in a year. But it would have been refreshing to see a boxer who cared more about being a fine sportsman than he did about the danger of taking a chance and one who was willing to play the-part of a reai champion and fight anybody, any time, anywhere. ‘The present ctop of pugilists are not champlons.

EW YORK, July 5.—From the cadet gray and the rigidly ordered environ- ment of West Point to the overalls of an iron-workers’ helper |is a transition as sharply radical as one can imagine. Picture, then, Johnny Murrell, late a captain in the Cadet Corps, |now a second lieutenant assigned to the aviation division, hefting steel girders, catching red-hot bolts in a tin can and being gen- erally helpful in the big construc- tion project now going forward at the Pennsylvania Railroad freight terminal in Jersey City. With no fanfare of bugles, not a | ruffie of a drum, with no loud cheers— | no cheers of any sort—Johnny Murrell, | son of wealthy parents in Cedar Rapids, | Iowa, received his commission in the | Regular Army at West Point commence- ment last week, laid aside his gorgeous | cadet clothes and became a “red neck.” | And this, the lad who, when he came to the United States Military Academy, was regarded as a bit spoiled and in need of deft handling. They Handled Him. Well, he was handled deftly, and in his graduating year he was outstanding as precisely the type of young officer that West Point is proud to send out into the world. But Murrell, who last Fall, inci- dentally, played the best foot ball of his career, who went through Standford like a bullet through a plank until the climate got him, was entitled upon re- ceiving his commission to three months’ leave of absence before he goes to one 9f the Army aviation fields to learn to y. But the young officer decided that he could best fit himself for the work he will undertake by hardening himself to the utmost degree, making himself ab- solutely fit. In this ambition he was materially helped by Judge Francis H. McCauley of Weehawken. In all this country there is no such Army fan as this Hud- son County judge. From boyhood he has followed” West Point teams in all their games and has made it a point to know and to help cadets. When Murrell came into the academy from the University of Minnesota, where he had played freshman foot ball, Judge &;Cauley took an instant liking to the Judge Councilled Him. | . The judge, by the way, is an en- | thusiastic Elk, member of ghe big Un?gn Hill Lodge. Murreil's father was then | exalted ruler of the Elk's Lodge in | Cedar Rapids, Towa, and this, of course, | strengthened ' the ‘bond. 8o it was | through Judge McCauley’s influence | that Murrell obtained & job on the | Pennsylvania building operation. Living as a resident guest in & room on the fourth floor of the Union Hill Elks' Club, Murrell looks out of his window and sees the wide expanse of the misty Jersey meadows, which he | thinks should make a foot ball fleld for | elevens made up of fabled glants. Aris- |ing at 6 o'clock every morning, he is | at work at 7 and at 4 in the afternoon \ge lays aside his tools and calls it a | day. | _ So that is what foot ball and West | Point life have done for a “spoiled boy.” | He will, he says, bank the money he | earns. No. he is not going to be mar- | ried, not yet awhile. He must, he says, | make good for Uncle S8am first. His foot ball days are over. He will | never play again, but he loves the game and any time he can be of any help in coaching he will be glad of the chance. In fact, he is working at this right now |in his off hours. For somehow Union Hill School foot ballers learned of his presence at the Elks and the ther day called upon him to atk if he would teach them some fine points this Sum- mer. And Johnny cordially complied. Murrell says he will see his father | when “the governor” comes to Af lantic City on July 16 for the Elks’' Con- vention. He will get a day off and run down to see him. Or perhaps he will | g0 on a Sunday. He wants no favors on this job. A fine, stalwart, clear-eyed, handsome | young ironworker is Johnny Murrell, |late of the West Point backfield. A | real soldier.
