ILMER ALLISON, who at one time was national champion among the racquet yielders, is attempting a comeback in the 38th annual invitation tournament at Spring Lake, N. J. Wilmer, who was seeded No. 1, has been doing all right so far and insists he has entirely recovered from the back injury which forced him out of competition following the 1936 tournament at Wimbledon. Which reminds us that Indianapolis will have some more good tennis when the annual City Parks tournament gets under way at the Fall Creek courts July 25 to Aug. 1. There is to be play in seven divisions and Albert S. Reinherz, secretary, who ought to know about such matters, has advised us that the entry list, based upon the number of those who have already signified a desire to

enter, will be large. So hurry up young ladies and gentlemen and sigh up those blanks. 2 n un un un ”n

HIS department is very sad at the moment, just having perused with some anxiety the report of the Indiana game wardens on stream conditions throughout our fair state. “Muddy,” “milky,” “fishing no good,” “fishing poor.” of the unpleasant phrases that linger with us. Something ought to be done. What's the use of having a Conservation Department if it can’t operate to make the streams behave on these delightful week-ends? Anyway, in behalf of the fishermen of Indianapolis and environs we want to thank Bill Brennan and his game wardens for furnishing this weekly information. The boys tell us that it is very helpful. In fact we may not have been adequately aware of this valuable service at all were it not for the fact that something happened last week and no report was available. And if Bill Brennan doesn’t think there was plenty of “how comes” received over the telephone by The Times sports department when this tragic state of affairs became known then he's very much mistaken. Definite assurances had to be made that this wouldn't happen again and we don’t think it will. The reason we don’t think so is that we are informed Bill worked overtime to get out the report published today. So that's proof enough to us that he is conscious of this very important responsibility. All is forgiven Bill! 5 un on ” ” =»

LSO while ‘we are on the subject of fish it has been brought to our attention from a most authentic source that Harry Cooler, the billiard room proprietor, is telling a pretty good one on himself these days. Harry, you know, rather prides himself on being a pretty good dresser and this bit of information should be kept in mind for a proper appreciation of what happened. Well, so we are told, Harry has a friend up Angola way who had asked him to drop in if he ever got around that way. So recently Harry went out to catch him some fish in Clear Lake and he had been there a week, having a grand time. He really had let his hair down—anhd his beard grow and was far from being the sartorially perfect specimen at the time. When he dropped into Angela for supplies he sought out his friend at a store which he knew he frequented but was told he was not there. The clerk thought, so reasoned Harry, that this was somebody out to make a touch, so he asked. “Who are you, Buddy, where vou from?” Harry told him he was from Indianapolis and whereupon the clerk said. “Oh, T know a fellow in Indianapolis. His name is Harry Cooler. You know him?” Harry said he did and invited the voung man to shake hands with none other than Harry Cooler—in person. “Oh veah,” said the other. “Well, I'm Napolecn. And Harry did. Well, that's about how it was except that Harry bought himself a good five-cent cigar and left.

Play Starts Against Von Cramm and ' Henkel at Wimbledon.

By United Press LONDON, July 16.—The United States today nominated the same trio which on the North American zone finals against Australia to battle Germany beginning tomorrow in the interzone round of Davis Cup tennis competition. Donald Budge of Oakland, Cal, the Wimbledon champion; Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, the tiny Atlantan, and Gene Mako, husky blond from Los Angeles, were selected to play the strong German pair of Baron Gottfried Von Cramm and Henner Henkel for the right to meet England in the challenge round for the trophy next week-end. Von Cramm, the slim German who lost in the All-England finals to Budge, will face Grant tomorrow in the opening singles match of the best three out of five series. Henkel plays Budge in the second singles.

Monday’s Matches

On Monday, Germany's “iron man” combination faces Budge and Mako—the All-England doubles champions—in doubles, while on Tuesday tomorrow's singles pairings will be reversed for the concluding matches. Tomorrow's opening battle on the courts of the All-England Tennis Club at Wimbledon starts at 7:30 a. m. Indianapolis Time. Selection of Grant came as no surprise despite the fact that Frank Parker, America’s No. 2 player, gave Budge a strong battle in the recent all-England tournament. Parker had won the only set Budge yielded during his drive to the championship, Grant Feeling Better

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, July 16.—A year ago today, give or take a few split seconds, the S. S. Manhattan turned her stubby snozzle toward the sea and headed for Germany carrying a full cargo of athletic talent and other offshoots of the human race. There had been an angry prelude to the adventure which split the ranks of the A. A. U. neatly down the middle, and led ultimately to a recasting of the official family. One faction was opposed to American participation in the Olympics because of the Hitler doctrine; the other, protesting against mixing politics with sport, carried the issue in the end. Long before the ship made her first call off the banks of Ireland a distressing incident developed. It was later to be known as Le Affairs Holm. The comely little back-stroke swimmer broke training, went on a champagne bender, and the fussy badge wearers gave her an official spanking and tossed her off the team,

In between times other items of varying degree of interest and amusement were written into the log. A British major who had been roughly used in the war created a nightly disturbance in the bar. At regular intervals the officer, always fastidiously dressed, boiled over and challenged the entire passenger list. Just as punctually four seamen, looking very much like the Notre Dame backfield in sailor garb, would appear and escort him to. his cabin. At first the officer took this as a matter of course and with admirable dignity. One night he became militant and, acting on the cap-

tain’s orders, the seamen tossed him in the brig. The enthusiasm with which they performed the job suggested it was a personal pleasure much too long deterred. Meanwhile, Miss Eleanor Holm having arrived at what is known as a state of indignation over her banishment from the team, the same being accompanied by headlines that danced across the front pages of the newspapers of the world, became a forthright member of the cocktail set and an articulate denouncer of her official critics. “You'd think I had shot somebody” groaned the lady. “All I did was to drink some champagne. I've been drinking champagne since I was a kid. I practically train on it. Anybody will tell you champagne is good for you if—" This brought a dissenting vote from another lady, a weight-lifter by profession, who was later to be identified as Miss Muscles. She argued that ale was better, “Look, this is what ale has done for me.” . 80 speaking she picked up a reporter from San Francisco and held him at arm's length. As the gentleman dangled from her iron clutch he looked like a freshly hooked brook trout. Miss Holm was stonily unimpressed. She said: “The act's good but the dialogue’s lousy.”
