Hans Nusslein, the German pro fessional lawn tennis player, is be- lieved by Tüden and others to be every whit as fine o player as Perry, Vines, Budge and the rest of them.
In fact, one or two fellows who know say that he is the best of the
lot.
But he never had the same pub- licity E the others. Here's the
reason.
When he was quite young he won a tournament in Germany playing as an amateur. As a prize he received

Martha Raye is a scream, and is supported by Bob Hope and Belly Grable.
