S. $227 daily Tennis Outlook "OTaresothesure of themselves today many calamity howlers who bade tearful farewell to the United States' Davis Cup chances when J. Donald Budge, latter-da- y scourge of the tennis courts, turned pro. It was a sad, unhappy time for his millions of followers when Budge succumbed to the lure of a $75,000 a year guarantee. Amateur tennis in the United States, they croaked dismally, was all washed up. Budge was the only star worthy of the name, the only man who could give this country a fighting chance for the greatest of all tennis honors. The recent Wimbledon tournament gave the prophets of disaster a terrific setback. Bobby Riggs, America's No. 1 disciple of tennis, defeated Elwood Cooke, another finals Yankee, in the of England's great court show. The match was nip and tuck for five Eets and then Riggs won out. Riggs inherited the No. 1 position from J. Donald. Those experts who saw the Wimbledon matches declare that he is a much improved finals inplayer. The dicated that Cooke is pretty close to being the No. 2 racketer, ranking a hard-foug- r . . RIGGS great deal higher than he did a year ago, v.hen he was considered just anotl ;ood tennis player. Twelve montl.s Elwood was not considered sci lou. ly as Davis Cup timber. He was eld in such low esteem that the Lrr s hats did not think enough of 1. :.i to send him across to England with Miss Marble, Miss Jacobs, Mrs. Palfrey and Riggs. They gave him boat fare and told him to shift for himself. -- - 1 Riggs Not 'Greatest' Riggs, of course, hasn't been listed as the greatest player who ever appeared at Wimbledon. Which is remarkable in that it was said about Don Budge, Fred Perry and ..Ellsworth Vines. It was also said .about Henri Cochet, Bill Thompson and Tony Wilding. And it is also true that this year's Wimbledon match left one thing to Baron Gottfried von be desired. Cramm, who defeated Riggs at the Queen's club tournament, is considered by many to be the best Von amateur of today's game. Cramm did not play at Wimbledon. Another United States hopeful is Frankie Parker. Remember him? A few years ago he looked to be a pretty good tennis player. Experts agreed that if Frank could polish up his forehand he would be near the top. But that forehand didn't seem to acquire much polish. Several months ago experts were all for dropping him. He had lost to Cooke at Seabright. Hunt trounced him at Rye, and last year he took bad beatings from Budge and Brom wich. His forehand was still the worst of any ranking American player. Now comes reports from the West that Parker has at last discovered himself. His forehand has definite ly improved. Going out to Califor tiia, he discarded his old style and worked out a new forehand. In Chi cago Frank won the national clay court championship. Then he teamed with Gene Mako to win the doubles from Johnny Doeg and Wayne Sabin, both under considera tion for Davis cup action. -- 6-- 1, By RUTH WYETH SPEARS MRS 'rEAR to make SPEARS: I lik interesting cushions in summer bright cotton covered ones and silk covers in th winter.

These widely separated offerings were the result of the coaches n choice for quarterback Sid of Columbia. The name Davey O'Brien did not appear. O'Brien of Texas Christian was named "football player of the year" in 1938. He was given a place on r team, and received every more publicity than any other two players combined. However, coaches thought he wasn't the man to quar terback their dream team. The Texas Christian star has al ready signed a professional contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, and officials of that club are not at all reticent in announcing he will set the league on fire. Contemporaries are not agreed on that score. They feel O'Brien is too small for the pro game, and prefer Sid Luckman. O'Brien's record was magnificent. But it must be taken into consid eration that his passing was done behind the greatest line of last year. Luckman operated behind one of the weakest. Luckman is the more versatile passer of the two. Davey throws a fast pass, and Luckman is more on the Friedman order, changing pace and distance to suit the occasion. Sid, bigger and sturdier, is physically more suited to the rigors of professional football. - 14 all-st- Fistic Svengali JIMMY GRIPPO, manager of light- hpavvn'pipht Mel in Rpttina hns added a new wrinkle to the honored profession of pugilism.
