J, July 23— Mercer Beasley, Princeton ten- nis coach and personal instruc- tor to 19-year-old Frankie Parker, is confident his protege will go to the top of the court world. Asked about reports that Parker, a native of Milwaukee and a student at Lawrenceville School, has aiready reached his peak, Beasley said he was willing to let Frankie's performances tell the story. “Frankie is right up to schedule with the plan mapped out for him,” he said, “and I'm perfectly satisfied with the way he's going. I'm so well satisfied that I'm hopeful he’ll better | his ranking this year.” JPARKER, No. 4 on the national list, said much the same thing after he had crushed S.

Y., witn the loss of only two games yesterday in the first round of the forty-eighth annual invitation tournament of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Most of the galleryites still | &)\ Parker won 10 straight games before losing one against Davenport. Despite the slowness of the rain-soaked court, he appeared to be in fine form. “I feel I'm playing pretty well this | | year,” said Parker, “and I'm aiming |of course at a higher place in the stanaing. I know that's going to be a tough job but I still hope to do it.’ Beasley stressed the fact that ten- nis is secondary in Parker’s life, that his studies come first. He has one more year at Lawrenceville and then ulans to go to Princeton. “Frank's forehand is criticized be- calise it isn’t the crashing kind that appeals to the spectators,” he said *But what good is a crashing fore- hand when it cant be controlled?

The chances are, however, that it will be many a year before Johnson will quit the pitcher’s box. Because not one single player has been discovered in the minor leagues this season who would be available for the Nationals’ future use, Clark Griffith will abolish the present system of scouting and next year the Washington club will be one of several American League teams without a scout on its pay roll.

OPING for the biggest entry H list in the history of the local sectional qualification rounds when the tourney is played at Indian Spring on August 20, Tom Belshe, president of the District Golf Association, today called on all aspir- ing amateur golfers in the National Capital to enter. Tom hopes for a field of 75 or more simon-pure linksmen when the 36- hole tourney comes off, and for 15 or more places for the local qualifiers in the national championship at Cleve- land, September 9 to 14. Last year at Five Farms, where the sectional rounds were played, there were 67 players entered for 14 places. Five of these places went to Wash- ingtonians, with Gene Vinson, later to win the District championship, top- ping the list at 147, and thereby grab- | bing the gold medal which goes to the leader in each section. This year the number of sections have been in- | creased to 29, which would reduce the number of places cpen in each section were it not for the fact that the starting list in the tourney proper also has been enlarged. Last year around 180 players started in the match play rounds of the champion - ship at Brookline, Mass. This year there will be 200 starters. All former champions and the current British amateur champion automatically are eligible without qualification, which | will work no hardship in so far as| the British champ is concerned, for he happens to hold the United States | crown as well. The boys will have a | | tough time dethroning Lawson Little | |in any amateur tcurney for a few | more years. Course Open for Practice, TOM BELSHE can add. He also is one of those optimistic guys who always hope for the best. He thinks | that with a little Push behind the | movement, some 75 or more ambitious | sod-wallopers can be induced to part | with five bucks and come out to In- dian Spring on August 20 to try for their spot in the golfing sun, and he may nct be far wrong. Lots of lads who didn't enter last year are plan- ning to get into the scrap this year, | and the old guard will be there with- | out urging. ’ “We are going to throw the course OU'VE heard the fellows talk | the first match at 6—2, the twins bat- of the guy who's “so dizzy he doesn’t even know the score.” | tled to a 6—6 tie and wouldn't say “quits.” It is scheduled w be fin- Now Alan Blade isn't dizzy, | ished at 5 o'clock today. | but an odd occurrence at Rock Creek | | Park yesterday came at the con- | clusion of his public parks match | with Ralph McElvenny, seeded player.

Helen should be near the top a few years hence. Semi-finals in the girls’ play will be reached this afternoon, when Miss Johnson plays Dorette Miller, Camille Jacobs meets Betty Kronman and Mary Ryan faces Bobsy Turney Sara Moore is already in the semis | and is given an afternoon of rest. ‘The veteran Dean Judd gave Mitchell just about all he could handle and Dooly’s supporters were watching anxiously.

OH YES, Stokes had had his mo- ments. There was the time, for example, when he stood on the seven- teenth tee at Congressional with 39| strokes behind him. He needed a | brace of fives on the last two holes at the seventeenth and the eighteenth isn’t such a tough 4. But in front of the tee stretches a water hazard filled with ducks, and bulrushes and golf balls. Stokes wanted to watch the ducks or something, so he hit sev- eral balls into the water. He finally holed out in 9. And there was the time when. with a hard turf and favoring conditions. he came to the ninth with a 4 to bust 50, a harder task than it is on the last half of the journey. But he be- came tangled up in the bunkers and | rough and holed out in 7. “What a hard game this golf has turned out to be,” Stokes sighs. “But the funny part of it is I have had a birdie. Yep, I had one four years ago Two things I want most out of this game—another birdie and the thrill of breaking 50. I'll get 'em both if I live long enough.” Griffs’ Records BATTING.
