Four seeded players reached the semi-finals-Wilmer Allison of Texas, Clifford Sutter of New Orleans, Ellsworth Vines of California, and Doeg. Doeg, slamming his left-handed serve into court in the way which enabled him to beat Tilden and Frank Shields in the National last year, disposed of Sutter 6-4, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. Vines, who was the sensation of the early tournaments last summer, beat Allison, who made his sensation four years ago, 7-5, 6-3. 6-4. Against Vines, Doeg, still serving well and winning his share of the back court rallies with...
...Wimbledon gallery looked forward to an all-American final, like last year's when Tilden beat Wilmer Allison, like the finals in 1923 when California's little William Johnston defeated Frank Hunter. WTood, who divides his time between New York and California, justified comparison with Johnston. Slight, delicate, with big forearms and incongruous stamina, he plays a heady game, often loses a set or two while experimenting with his oppo nent's weaknesses. As was Johnston's, his best shot is his forehand though until this year it was so undependable that he made j a habit of borrowing...
...wonder of U. S. tennis. When Johnston retired, Richards turned professional, Williams grew too veteran to be brilliant for more than a day at a time, there appeared on the scene a great second-growth of younger players. These-George Lott, John Van Ryn, Berkeley Bell, Gregory Mangin, Wilmer Allison, John Hennessey; John Doeg-were the ones who caused the difficulty. All were young collegians, and they looked as much alike as so many agitated and disobliging Chinamen. One or two of them, it was first supposed, would emerge from the rest and become champions, but this never seemed...
Since 1928 when she flew as "baggage" from Newfoundland to Wales in a monoplane piloted by the late Wilmer Stultz and Lou Gordon, Miss Earhart had to submit to such labels as "Lady Lindy," "First Lady of the Air," etc. Her name was bought by Cosmopolitan, which engaged her as aviation editor, then by Transcontinental Air Transport, which appointed her assistant to the general traffic manager. Last autumn she was given charge of publicity for Ludington Line (plane-per-hour) operating between New York and Washington, a job lately delegated elsewhere. Few months ago Miss Earhart married her friend...
...impatiently waiting for a cancer cure or a change of public attention. Waiting hopefully in the offing are specialties, as that of the eye. The Medical Center Eye Institute will be an important lighthouse to the medical crowd. A few big beacons like it already exist. Baltimore has the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute (TIME, Oct. 21, 28, 1929), generally considered the best. Philadelphia has Wills Eye Hospital; Boston, Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary; Chicago, Illinois Eye & Ear Infirmary; New Orleans, Touro Infirmary. Manhattan already has New York Eye & Ear Infirmary, Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital. For chief of Mr. Harkness' Medical...
