Working under cover the U. S. Department of Justice sped Forest Harness to Greece as a special assistant attorney general to help press for extradition through diplomatic channels. Last week in Athens Mr. Harness firmly declared that the Greek Court of Appeals had no right to pass on the substance of the Insull indictment but only upon the legal regularity of the extradition request. In his pocket was a warrant signed by President Roosevelt for the arrest of Fugitive Insull whom Forest Harness was ready to escort home like any common crook...
Unlike tennis in England, where the world's championship at Wimbledon is the one great tournament of the year, tennis in the U. S. progresses through a series of increasingly important invitation tournaments to the grand finale of the Men's Singles Championship at Forest Hills. By last week, U. S. tennis had reached its semi-final stage: the last round of the women's singles, at Forest Hills, and the men's doubles championship, on the grounds of the Longwood Cricket Club at Brookline, Mass...
...Forest Hills, the stanch disinclination of a slim British Sunday-school teacher to play on Sunday, and four days of rain, had delayed the tournament a full week.

...asked him last spring whether he expected the Davis Cup to go back to the U. S.: "I expect the Davis Cup will go back to Americawhen we take it there on our way to Australia." If Vines and Crawford play each other in the final at Forest Hills, the match will be like another between a hard-serving Californian and a steady Australian-when Brookes played Maurice McLoughlin in the Davis Cup matches at Forest Hills in 1914 and lost, after one of the longest first sets on record, 15-17, 3-6, 3-6. Since Tilden...
