Keen Competition in Men’s Singles Piay Is Expected. F, BASTIAIVI IN FORM Other Stars Groomed for Tourney. BY ROBERT E O’HARA With the annual city tennis championship scheduled to open Monday, Indianapolis’ leading racket wielders today were polishing up their strokes, and officials of the Hawthorne Tennis Club, sponsors of the tourney, are expecting a full card. The absence of the brilliant ace of Hoosier tennis, John Hennessy, will serve to make the competition keener, and the result.less of a certainty. Julius Sagalowsky, Fritz Fastian and Tommy Wilson, who were with Hennessy in the semi-finals last year, are sure to be seeded in this year’s meet. Dick Bastian, J. H. Ehlers, Bud Markey, Dick Crane and a host of other lluminaries, however, are certain to puzzle the harried offcials who have the duty of selecting an unsubmersible eighth from this year's sixty-four for key places in the draw. The women’s singles present some formidable names for consideration. Muriel Adams and Katherine Wolf, 1927, finalists, are going to have some tough sledding to repeat. Miss Adams was ranked ninth by the Western Association last year, and recently progressed to the semi-finals against a classy field in the Illinois State championships. The doubles combination of Miss Adams and Mrs. Dorothy Stephenson Stout, fifth in 1927 western rankings, looks to be the best entered in that division. Men's doubles should call forth some thrills, with Julius Sagalowsky again teamed with Tommy Wilson, and the redoubtable Bastians, Dick and Fritz, apparently favorites to face each other in the finals. Junior glnglrs rntrirs Include: Bob McCullough and Emmett Lowry. Bud Danke again is entered in the boy's division. The complete program includes men's singles, doubles, junior singles and doubles, and bovs' singles and doubles: women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. Entries close officially Sunday night, but the lists mav be complete before that time, as entries are limited to sixty-four in the men's singles, and thirty-two in all the other classes. Fritz Bastian was out Tuesday, and hitting them in good form. At the peak of his game, Fritz's uncanny placing can cause plenty of trouble for any tennis favorite. Mrs. Dorothy Stephenson Stout, one of the leading women in local tennis circles, is getting in a lot of hard practice at the Hawthorne courts this week, Muriel

Pete Latzo, Leo Lomski in Ring Tilt Ten-Round Bout Between Light Heavies Carded for Tonight. By United Press NEW YORK, June 13.—Pete, Latzo, Scranton, Pa., former welterweight champion, is bent on rising to the top of the light-heavyweight division. Less than two weeks after he gave Tommy Loughran the 175-pound titleholder, one of the stiffest fights of the latter’s career, Latzo will go back into the same ring at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, tonight to swap socks with Leo Lomski, Aberdeen, Wash., the outstanding challenger. Lomski and Loughran were signed for tonight's main bout, but the meeting was postponed when the New York State Commission ruled that Loughran first must go through with his bout against Jimmy Slattery. Latzo readily agreed to substitute for Loughran, and believes the arrangement will give him his chance to demand another match with the 175-pound king. The hard-hitting Aberdeen Pole is an 8-to-5 favorite. The match is scheduled for ten rounds. COURTNEY NO. 1 By United Press NEW YORK.
