Increasingly able since he played in his first Wimbledon tournament in 1935, Budge has this year reached the peak of his form. On his way to last week's final he had lost only one set-to his Davis Cup Teammate Frank Parker in the semifinals. Included among the opponents whom he had beaten with distressing ease were Australia's Vivian McGrath, Czechoslovakia's Ladislow Hecht, France's Christian Boussus. Von Cramm had more trouble in his early matches, beating Australia's Jack Crawford in five sets and then playing a red-hot semi-final...
...regularly as U. S. tennists once won and later, until this year, lost Davis Cup matches, U. S. balloonists once won and now lose the annual James Gordon Bennett Balloon Race-No. 1 gasbag event of the year. Last year they were too discouraged to enter. Last week, as the 25th James Gordon Bennett Balloon Race got under way in Brussels, there was again no U. S. entry, possibly because the race was suddenly called for June instead of September as in the past. Entered were twelve balloons from five nations. Like monstrous dirty soap bubbles, they drifted up from...
...over every crossroad. Total cost: $3,500,000. The Long Island Motor Parkway was thus the first modern type highway. In 1908, 1909 & 1910 Mr. Vanderbilt & friends used five miles of the road together with parts of Jericho Turnpike and Plainview Road for the first of the famed Vanderbilt Cup Races, the eleventh of which will take place next week at Roosevelt Raceway...
...caddied on the courses their fathers tended. Guldahl is the first ex-caddie of Norwegian descent to develop top-flight golfing talent. Reared in Texas, Guldahl's talents in the past have sometimes seemed misplaced. After his tragic putt in 1933 which, if it had gone into the cup, would have made him a national celebrity, he speedily lost prestige. In 1935 he failed even to make a living out of golf, took to selling automobiles and working as a carpenter's assistant in Hollywood to support the young wife and son, Buddy, who now travel with...
...While the U. S. was beating Australia, Heiner Henkel of Germany was winning the French hard-court singles championship at Paris. In the final he beat Bunny Austin, England's Davis Cup No. i, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3. Heretofore 22-year-old Henkel has been regarded as nothing much more than a handicap for Germany's No. 1 singles player, Baron Gottfried von Cramm. His performance last week suggested that, just as Australia turned out much weaker than expected, Germany may turn out much stronger...
