...Allison, a plodder, showed a few moments of brilliant tennis. The supposedly invincible doubles team of Allison & John Van Ryn needed four sets to win. This team will play Australia next; then, if victorious, the winner of the European zone finals; then, possibly, France (July 29-31) at the Stade Roland Garros in Auteuil. Notable is the fact that all the U. S. players have taken turns beating each other, none is invincible. Experts pin the dubious U. S. chances on the incalculable Vines...

For a while there were no Meadow Larks. Then the second Hitchcock boy, Francis ("Frankie"), was big enough to start.* When he was going to school in Aiken, S. C. his mother sent him mallets and balls enough for two teams. They played on bicycles on a red clay field. Later Frankie had a hard fall that ended his riding for the time, but the boys who had played with him, still...
