...Davis Cup matches, Japan's Ichiya Kumagae sat in the stands at Forest Hills and excitedly watched his countryman, Zenzo Shimizu, whip Tilden in the first two sets 7-5, 6-4. Shimizu got within two points of match in the third set. Then Tilden shifted out of second gear. Playing faultlessly, he got off smashes, drop shots, over-spins, undercuts, volleys and cannonball serves the like of which the Japanese had never seen. He pulled out the third set, 7-5, romped through the next two, 6-2, 6-1. The Japanese went home without the cup, beaten...

Non-playing Captain Ichiya ("Ichy") Kumagae, now 60, remembering those better days, grinned as of old, but he was a little chagrined. Said he: "Not good. We need more international experience. Nakano was on top of Savitt and let him off the hook. To me, that...
Twenty Japanese officials and their Chinese puppets sat down to a gala banquet last week at the Japanese Consulate General at Nanking in honor of Japanese Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Tomesaburo Shimizu. The banquet began with a toast in wine. It ended when all the guests suddenly went under the table from a little poison slipped into the wine by "Chinese enemies...
