...Donald Budge trouncing Henner Ernst Otto Henkel, and German No. i Baron Gottfried von Cramm trouncing Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant. The opening matches turned out just so and the one doubles match became pivotal. Paired as always with husky Gene Mako, Budge did not hit his stride until von Cramm & Henkel had won one set and run the second to 5-3.

...Justices looked unusually cheer ful and healthy. Even dour Justice McReynolds was smiling as if he had swal lowed some kind of a canary. But all eyes were on Justice Willis Van Devanter, whose retirement was to become effective next day. He came in pink cheeked, with a lively stride, his gown open showing his white shirt front.
