...players, since patting soft shots at novices spoils the teachers for high-grade competition. In it are William Tatem Tilden II; his good friend Frank Hunter; Vincent Richards, onetime Tilden protégé; Howard Kinsey. Californian cut-stroker; Emmett Pare, youngest member of Tilden Tennis Tours, Inc.: and Karel Kozeluh, who was supposed to be best player in the world till Tilden beat him 33 out of 37 matches last winter...
Teaching professionals were quickly eliminated from the U. S. Professional Championship at Forest Hills last week. In the best quarter-final match, Karel Kozeluh, who considered himself disgraced by Tilden's beatings and said he would never return to the U.

In the semifinals, four "playing professionals" proceeded to eliminate each other in a manner that was almost a foregone conclusion...

Amazed, they watched Tilden whack his cannonball serve across so hard that...
...years ago Karel Kozeluh, Czechoslovakian professional, and blond, laconic Vincent Richards played in the finals of the national professional tennis singles championship and Richards won. Last year they played again and Kozeluh won. The finals for the championship is the most important of their yearly matches, but they play often. On dirt courts in vacant lots in Manhattan and its suburbs, in the presence of the kind of people who do not usually attend tennis matches, Kozeluh and Richards play again and again for $1 and $2 admissions. Sometimes one wins, sometimes the other, but it is always a great...
