...frantic effort to emulate the All-England Championships at Wimbledon, which are a sell-out every year, the United States Lawn Tennis Association decided this year to try something new. This was to hold the Men's Singles Championship and the Women's Singles Championship, which have hitherto been held at Forest Hills one after the other, at the same time...

White-haired and purse-mouthed, Harry Chandler is a teetotaler, eschews all forms of exercise except mowing the lawn a bit. When the first drop of perspiration runs down his nose, he quits. He has eight children, four of whom work for the Times. He is still at 71 a good trader. A rock-ribbed Republican and great personal friend of Herbert Hoover, he made Democratic Los Angeles pay him well for the inconvenience of moving one block up First Street last week into the fine new Times building...
