Budge, already winner of three of | the worlds four major titles— French, Australian and English—has been suffering from a throat ailment for six months. It was reported today that he will undergo a blood test tomorrow and if phy- | sicians advise him not to play, | Budge might withdraw. It was believed, however, that | the champion, who is idle today, | would play Welby Van Horn of Los | Angeles, tomorrow. Both drew first | round byes. | If Budge should withdraw—and | the general belief here is that he | will not—he would lose an oppur- | tunity of becoming the first man in history to win all four of the] |

world's major singles titles in one | year. Jack Crawford of Australia came closest to turning the trick in 1933 when he took all but the U. S. championship and lost that in a final battle against Fred Perry of England. Lined up against Budge in the men’s division is one of the classiest international fields in history.
