ONDON, June 8 (by wireless).— L It may seem extraordinary that any one will travel 6,000 or more miles in order to hit a ball over a net on a special patch of as people are in- ” terested in games Wimbledon will retain its inter- national flavor. The French tennis champion- ship is in a way Wimbledon’'s weathervane, in that the arrow players who are at the moment outstanding. Fred Perry, winner of the French singles title this year, is the first Englishman who ever has accomplished this feat, in spite of Britain's nearness to France. Perry defeated the handsome Ger- man player, Baron Gottfried Cramm, in the final match. which Helen Wills Moody. | some onlookers say was exciting be- cause of the numerous errors made by Von Cramm. Which shows that impressions of a tennis almost certain to be influenced by the nationality of the observer and his personal preferences. Cramm will be among the strongest contenders at Wimbledon. Sperling Win No Upset. "THE victory of Mrs. Hilda Krah- winkel Sperling in the woman's singles was not surprising in view of the fact that she covers the courts better than any other woman tennis plaver and has an assortment of serious-looking and highly dependable strokes which seldom err. Mme. Rene Mathieu, who lost the final to Mrs, Sperling. is said to be an improved player. Her endurance is supposed to be better and she is more patient in waiting for a chance | for a winning shot. Last Winter she playved in South France tournaments and achieved the astonishing recora o 18 single tournaments with no defeats. The problem of plavers coming down from the continent, as well as those from California, is to change from hard courts to grass. As no one wants to come to Wimbledon in order to play his worst. a certain amount of preliminary play on grass is necessary before the champi ship. Grass Courts Tricky. ROBABLY the quickest way one may adapt himself to grass is by taking part in grass tournaments, because in a match one gives his full attention to every shot and tries te discover as soon as possible why the ball is going in the net or outside the court or why it is traveling too slowly, and so on The much lower bound of the ball on grass perhaps presents the great- est difficulty for the hard-court play- er. who is used to a fairly high-rising ball. Also. unless the grass court is hard and perfect there is the busi- ness of getting a quick running start to contend with. A damp. heavy grass court slows up a player's footwork tremendously. Of course, at Wimbledon the cen- ter court. as well as one other, can be covered in case of rain. so players who are fortunate enough to have matches on either of these courts can be sure of a true and perfect surface.

In 1933, Dooley Mitchell reached deep into his bag of tricks and produced three tities, capturing the championship of each tourna- ment. No player ever beiore had done it and no one has duplicated the feat in the past two years. Incidentally. that was the only vear that Dooley ever won the District of Columbia title, Perhaps if Duke University had closed a little earlier last year and Barney Weish had been in town, there today would be a co-claimant for Mitchell's honor. Barney won the other two big local tournaments last year, but school books prevented him from being here to attempt the grand slam. Weilsh. by the way, has stolen a march on most of the boys. having participated in two tournaments this week. He was eliminated from the | (7 e | SA Maryland State championships only by Berkeley Bell, the No. 1 seeded player, last Friday. and he was play- | ing in the finals of the Argyle tourna- | ment yesterday. ‘Winners Are Problematical. LEST the impression be given that one of the “old crowd" again will walk off with the titles this year, it should be said that no smooth path is foreseen for any aspirant. With an abundance of net stardom within an hour's ride of the White House, observers predict the hottest fights in local tennis ever seen.
