...under PWAP. Should a reader's attention wander, he would be instantly confronted by brilliantly colored likenesses of such assorted characters as Boccaccio, Gautama Buddha, Mayor Carter of Santa Monica, Adam & Eve, Cinemactress Gloria Stuart, Bach, Michael Faraday, Senator John P. Jones, Leo Carrillo, Michelangelo, Confucius, and Viola Player Samuel Lifschey. All this was the effort of Stanton Macdonald Wright, co-founder 22 years ago of the Synchromist movement in art, to wind Man's Imaginative and Inventive Development round four walls and over an information desk...
...Black, Starr & Frost-Gorham vault. To take the $500 silver Cup away from Forest Hills, a U. S. champion tennist must win the tournament three times. Since the late William A. Larned, who held the championship seven times, won his second Cup in 1910, only one player has actually got his hands on a U. S. Men's Singles Cup. That was William Tatem Tilden, who did it twice, once in 1922, again in 1925, and holds one leg on the present trophy.

Gravest defect in the championship chances of Wood, Grant, Shields, Menzel and Allison next week is the fact that none of the five has shown noticeable improvement during the past two years.

Redhaired, freckled, 20-year-old Donald Budge of Oakland, Calif. has never beaten Perry but he came close to doing so last year in the Pacific Coast final when he forced him to five sets. His performances at home and abroad this summer...
...Grant, Mrs. Arnold, 120 Ib. and just 5 ft., often looks absurd when she comes out on the court, smiling shyly up at her opponent whose subsequent beating becomes all the more distressing. It would be in accurate to say that Mrs. Arnold's apparent limitations as a player disappear when her matches start. She covers the court in a series of wild scrambles, hits a jerky forehand that looks better suited to a flyswatter than a tennis racket and wins on steadiness, indefatigable nerve and the brains which most women players either signally lack or fail...
