...place as a mouse in the communion cup is $10,200 in the till of a church paper. Viewing the jury's verdict ruinous, Editor Shipler this month splashed an announcement of his predicament on The Churchman's front cover in place of the usual cut or table of contents. Editor & Publisher's Marlen Edwin Pew, good friend of Dr. Shipler, helped launch a money-raising drive. The Christian Century, exclaiming "This Shall Not Happen!'' devoted its lead editorial last week to the matter. And other religious papers fell in line, unanimously convinced that they...
...round before, Perry had beaten Australia's Jack Crawford, Wimbledon champion in 1933, and von Cramm had beaten redhaired Donald Budge of California who, in his first appearance at Wimbledon, had done so well that he may be chosen to play singles on the U.

...Parks, who won the U. S. Open at Oakmont last month, Perry belongs to that army of able professional golfers who are often near the top in minor tournaments, usually lack the poise rather than the ability to win major titles.

Last fortnight, L'Auto published a letter by Didier Poulain, its tennis expert, denouncing famed Jean Borotra for "letting France down" by not playing singles on France's Davis Cup team. Jean Borotra promptly replied with a letter denouncing Sportswriter Poulain. Last week, the Borotra v. Poulain controversy became a subject of international excitement when Sportswriter Poulain sent Tennist Borotra a challenge to a duel which Tennist Borotra, at Wimbledon for the 55th All-England Championships, angrily announced that...
...Borotra-Poulain uproar was by far the most disturbing circumstance. In the grandstands, enlarged this year, bigger crowds than ever before -more than 25,000 every afternoon- watched the matches. They saw Borotra indicate that he might not have been of much use to France's Davis Cup team in any case by losing, after five hard sets, to Czechoslovakian Roderick Menzel. In the most startling upset of the week, Wilmer Allison lost to Australia's unorthodox Vivian McGrath in the first round. After seven days of play, the only U. S. player left...
