GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY NOW

X. SHIELDS, the lawn tennis player who competed in only, one tournament last season on account of his work in the

F. film "Come and Get It," in which he won a leading part as the

result of a kissing competition, considers the season "the most dismal in the annals of American, tennis.”

“A British player, F. J. Perry, won our national champion- ship" he said recently. "Only one American, Donald Budge, showed a thing at Wimbledon. The American Davis Cup team lost in the first round for the first time in memory, when it failed: against Australia.
