...farm, the daily routine whether in an office, in a tall building or plowing a 40-acre field, fighting chinch bugs or grasshoppers, or going down in a mine to get ore, standing at a loom, sweating at a forge, or working in a forest. All these are real. No falsetto here. No emotional stuff-but hard reality. . . . Landon has always touched reality. He has always faced life at first hand. He is no theorist, and the Lord be praised, he is no orator...
...enormously stimulating prospect of a Budge v. Perry final, the Men's Singles Championship at Forest Hills last week had very little to add. A leg injury forced Defending Champion Wilmer Allison to withdraw his entry. The rest of the seeded players included Jacques Brugnon and three young Frenchmen performing in the U.

The Australians declined. Germany's famed Baron Gottfried von Cramm, now generally rated the world's No. 2 player, was kept...
Patterned after Wimbledon, the idea of holding the men's & women's championships at the same time worked out well at Forest Hills last year. That last week's gate receipts were bigger than last year seemed, in view of the weakness of the men's championship as an attraction, due mainly to the fact that the United States Lawn Tennis Association had decided to do so again. For female tennists at least, last week's tournament might well have rated as the No. i event of the year. In it were entered four members...
