LAWN TENNIS TITLE

Notifies Authorities Of Intention

Of Playing Next Month

Frederick J. Perry, No. 1 world ranking lawn tennis player and ace of Great Britain's Davis Cup team, will visit Amerien next month to defend his United States eingles championship titie.

This announcement was receiv ed in a letter from Perry by Wal- ter M. Hall, President of the United States Lawn Tennis Asso- ciation.

The English star also thanked the U. S. . T. A. for the honor- ary U. S. L. T. A. membership accorded him recently. Perry de- fented J. H. (Jack) Crawford of Australia at Forest Hills, L. L last September, by 6-3, 11-13, 4-6, 0-0, 6-1, **

The giants, almost all of them, had an easy-going day. Perry and Austin, generating more speed than on the previous day, won their matches in a canter, Von Cramm had some, pressure to resist, but did not drop a set. Crawford slowed down when he had his match well in hand, losing a set to Henkel. Shields, INDIAN GIRL Stoefen, and Menzel, of the big servers, were thoroughly tuned

up.

Austin met and defeated his German counterpart in Denker.. a youth who had emerged from junior tennis with a neat and orthodox game. One could see in his primitive service (not al- ways under control) and his flat, flashing forehand the example of his senior, Von Cramm.

He would probably have done better and gathered more games, in spite of Austin's perfect touch, if the bound on 'turf had been more familiar. Austin's volleying was at all times the refine- ment of art.
