...only one player has actually got his hands on a U. S. Men's Singles Cup. That was William Tatem Tilden, who did it twice, once in 1922, again in 1925, and holds one leg on the present trophy. If Perry succeeds next week where McLoughlin,* Williams, Johnston, Lacoste and Vines failed, he will be the first foreign player who has ever won possession of a U. S. Singles trophy. Moreover, he will have done so against a field which includes, except for Australia's Crawford, Germany's von Cramm and England's Bunny Austin...
Ever since picayune Bill Johnston appeared on the scene in 1915, there has been at least one high-class tennist who looks as if nature had designed him for ping-pong.

Since May 1, 297 cases have been reported in North Carolina, of whom 18 died. To combat the epidemic North Carolina's State epidemiologist.

Most acid Chamberman was Forney Johnston, slender, sharp-nosed Birmingham lawyer who has led the power fight against Tennessee Valley Authority. Calling the New Deal "a witch's dance of uncoordinated legislation" and referring to "the house-top Allah shoutings of Mr. Ickes and other impeccables," he snapped: "If business is vicious, it has required a century and a half to discover...
