Professional tennis players in the U. S. are of two sorts: those who teach tennis and those who exhibit themselves for a living. The latter class, mostly onetime amateurs, has multiplied recently.

In it are William Tatem Tilden II; his good friend Frank Hunter; Vincent Richards, onetime Tilden protégé; Howard Kinsey.

...first prize for exhibits, a gold medal, went neither to the biggest, nor the neatest, nor the cleverest, nor the most learned presentation. Jacob Furth, an immunologist at the Henry Phipps Institute of the University of Pennsylvania, a onetime worker at the Rockefeller Institute, won the gold medal for his demonstration of experimental leucemia. Leucemia is a blood disease closely resembling cancer. The blood contains abnormally vast numbers of white blood cells. Usually the spleen and liver are hugely enlarged. Bone marrow is usually affected. Dr. Furth isolated a virus from leucemic chickens. The virus stimulated leucemia in other chickens...
