FOREST HILLS, N. Y,, Sept. 11 (U. P.).—The two top-ranking tennis players -of the world—J. Donald Budge of California and Baron Gottfried Von Cramm of Germany—nieet again today on the championship court of the West Side Tennis Club for the United States Men's Singles championship. Although the red-haired American ace was an overwhelming favorite to make it three straight 1937 victories over the blond German star, a | capacity crowd of 14,000 was expected. It was the match that American tennis fans have anticipated all season, especially since Budge beat Von Cramm in the British championship and the Davis Cup finals. : Equal interest was shown in the &

women’s championship ma tc h, which for the first time in the tournament’s history brought together two foreign players. in the finals— Jadwiga (Yah Yah) Jedrzejowska of Poland and Anita Lizana of Chile. The betting was nearly even on this match with the Polish girl a slight favorite. Miss Jedrzejowska’s smashing forehand was expected to give ‘the dainty Senorita Lizana plenty of trouble, but experts believed that the grace and rhythm of the latter’s style, would make the women’s final match the real battle of the day’s program. The odds on Budge, who didn’ lose a set in his match to the finals, were justified after yesterday’s semi-

Budge scored as he pleased in winning, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3, over Frankie
Parker, Davis Cupper from Spring
Lake, N. J., but Von Cramm had to call on all his resources to overcome the loss of the first two sets and finally defeat the young Californian Bobby Riggs, 0-6, 6-8, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2.-Miss Jedrzejowska also was forced to the limit of her powerful game to gain a final berth with ‘a 6-4, 6-4, win over the four-time former champion, Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Cal. Senorita Lizana, however, won easily, 6-2, 6-3, over another young California star, Dorothy May Bundy, who earlier had eliminated last year’s champion Miss Alice Marble. The Budge-Von Cramm match marks the resumption of the greatest tennis rivalry of the year. The Baron pressed the ‘American to five sets before succumbing in the Davis Cup Interzone Finals, but in the All-England title play at Wimbledon Budge won in straight sets.
Sellout Is Expected

rumors of enlarging the stadium beforee the Davis Cup interzone matches next year. , Not since the final mafch between Ellsworth Vines and Henri Cochet of France, five years ago, has the demand for tickets been so .great. And if predictions are only partially right the customers will be treated to a brand of tennis not seen in this country since then.

‘Shows Amazing Form
in A. A. U. Swim.
. CHICAGO, Sept. 11 (U. P)— America’s number one swimmer of the year—Ralph Flanagan of Miami, Fla.—attacked a fistful of records in the National A. A. U. Swimming Championship today on the last leg of the finest individual performance produced in any country this season. In two days, the husky Olympic veteran smashed one world record and six national marks in defending two of hig’ three A. A. U. crowns. He went after his third 1937 title today, confident he can
add one or more new marks over |
a half-mile route. : Other final events today included lowboard diving, 880-yard free style, 100-meter free style, 10-meter platform dive, and 300-yard individual medley. : Even the national championship of Japan, closest ‘U. S. rivals in international competition, failed to come close to Flanagan’s remarkable races. He knocked -:-over three American records yesterday de-
fending his national 440-yard free
style crown, eclipsing all long course records for 300 yards, 400 meters and 440 yards. Splashing home 30 yards ahead of the field, Flanagan was clocked in 4:46 which bettered his own records for the 440 and 400 meters. On the way, he beat the old mark of John Macionis, Yale speedster, with a time of 3:14.2 for 300 yards.
