It marked the close of the annual tournament at Forest Hills, Long Island, where we- once saw the late BUI Tilden win the title by beating "Red" Johnston of San Francisco. (That was many years ago!) It was' much the same story today, only with reverse Eng lish.

Seixas, Just to show he is not such an old man even u he will never again be in the 20's (he admits to 30) jumped over the net to mit the victor, like a young gazelle.

The opening day in this valley seems even a bigger flurry for many homes because mothers and other members are working in the packing houses or picking fruit. This year most Jackson county schools were delayed in opening for nearly a week because of the late fruit harvest This seems a sensible time for schools to be gin. Possibly it would be a life saver to many persons through out our country. If later school opening dates were the rule.

We assured him there were no dividends and that this U.S Tennis Association was not interested in money but only in the sport and if he wished to get the signatures of the players (which he said he did) he better take his program and go down and get them. Much to our. relief he did as we suggested and we hope he got the autographs but are fairly sure he didn t, . Incidently, ex-Champ Seixas of Philadelphia is married and before all the newspaper camera boys and the TV men he shook bands with his wife she is very attractive also but re fused to give her the Bunny-Hug and Smackeroo routine. We are all for Seixas in spite of his fantastic name and his defeat we hope he gets back at Trabert before the year is overt e e e e And we believe he will! Be that as it may Stevenson, to be sure, has nev er said, that he wants a second chance, even to those closest to him. But all sorts of signs and portents point in the same direc tion. One such sign is a plan and tour of the United States, which Steven son is seriously considering. If Stevenson finally adopts this plan, his trip will be the domestic counterpart of his re cent world tour. He will do series of articles on the state of the nation, like his magazine articles on the state of the world, and be might eventually write a book. The idea offers to Steven son a number oi obvious ad vantages. It would solve, at least for the time being, the problem which has worried Stevenson ever since his defeat the problem of what to do with himself. It would also be one way of earning living, another problem which, faces him. But more important such: a nation-wide tour would give Stevenson an opportunity to get on friendly personal terms We can't recall a top sports event where the 'mental factor with Democratic leaders in ev ery important state, aown to tne county chairman level, and to achieve at the same time in valuable first' hand knowledge of local political situations. TJE COULD do all this, more- aX over, without eivine the im pressionfatal in the case of Wendell Willkie, Harold Stassen and other aspirants of panting desperately for the nomination. Stevenson is significantly quite aware of these advantages oi the plan for a national tour, whether or not he decides in the end to adopt the plan. Two negative decisions which Stevenson has recently made also seem interesting straws in the wind. While he was abroad, he was offered the seat on the United Nations Delegation sub sequently accepted by his cam paign-time enemy, former Sec retary of State James Byrnes. Stevenson firmly rebuffed the Administration's offer, - on the grounds, as he has told friends, that holding any post with the Eisenhower administration would compromise his political position. Stevenson was also invited to address the Woodrow Wilson Foundation' dinner) on October 1. in honor of another former Secretary of State. Dean G. Acn eson. Stevenson is an officer of the foundation, but he begged clearly vital as in these two tennis matches Trabert winning the men's title, and our old Coronada pal, Maureen'' Con nolly winning the women s and for the third tune in a "Little Mo with her funny little walk and her bobbing head! so like one of these foreign mechanical dolls you wind up was all confidence. When she received the prize cup she claimed she had been terribly nervous, but we suspect this wss a gracious compliment to her out-classed ' foe Doris Hart of Coral Gables, Florida rather than the literal fact (However, the top perform ers in all sports in a sense are nervous before a f mal test' or they wouldn't be tops. Phlegmatic natures seldom win titles.) Don Budge in his introductory remarks indicated this was his belief also. The trouble with Miss Connolly is she is really TOO good. Miss Hart did her best but in a hopeless, what's-the-use sort of way she was really beaten before she started. And say wnat she will Little Mo was never worried and didn t even get warmed up she hasn't lost a set in the entire tournament and didn t lose one this time.

He was generous enough to claim he was lucky to have "hit the champ on an off day" the truth was the champ wasn't OFF but the challenger was ON and HOW! Trabert just couldn't miss and his service was the toughest -we -have. seen since Tilden was in his prune. But we don't know of a sport where being "on' your game or "off' it, makes such a tremendous difference as in tennis. a e a e The "pay off" was when the "bubbling" -new chamo. said he was lucKy lucky to win, lucky to have such a beautiful fi ancee as Shauna Wood of Salt Lake, and he wanted to dedicate the new cup to his Dad and Mother his sisters and "brothers, his in-iaws and an tne rest of the folks.

Actually, neither Johnson nor Rayburn nor any other nolitical leader is committed to any can- araate this early. Johnson, more over, was careful to explain to Stevenson that he would have liked to go to Chicago. He could not go, be told Stevenson, sim ply1 because he felt on his neck the hot breath of pro-Eisenhower Gov. Allan Shivers, who may try to unseat Johns6n in the Texas primaries. It is very much too early, of course, even to venture a guess as to whether Stevenson will get his second chance or not. If Pres ident Eisenhower looks unbeat able a couple of years from now, Stevenson may well decide that he does not want a second chance after all. All sorts of new po litical lights may appear on the horizon, moreover. There have already been tiny broomlets f or such figures as Senator Mike Monroney and Mayor Joseph Clark, of Philadelphia, as well as for Senator Symington. But as of today, at least Stev enson is clearly the man to beat And it is good to know that Stev enson will not crawl into his shell, as he had half a. mind to do after his defeat For he has already proved that the opposi tion will be intelligent and ra tional, as long as he is its chief spokesman. - (Copyright 1953.

The will be presented at the .Fair grounds theater Sept! 28, 29, and 30. . Playing the role of Titus Sav age, the humorless, direct, and officious senator, is Thayer Tar vin. Although new to vallev au diences, Tarvin is not new to the theater. Coming recently from Hollywood, he was associated there with the Highland Play house as an assistant director and stage manager, and also ap peared in such plays as The Royi al Family, Stage Door, and Kiss and Tell. Long active in all phases of little theater work, he has been instrumental in organ izing various groups, including the Huntington Park Civic Theater. r rom Eugene June Duhaime, another Med ford newcomer, and wife of i young attorney, portrays the role of Lily Belle, Titus' blase ixna practical sister, tomnieieiy indifferent to the feelings of oth ers, she manages to dispose of.

Mrs. Johnson appeared in the Med-. ford senior high play last spring. and . is making her Footlighter ? debut in the current production. . Florence, another guest at the "Cloisters", is played by Clela Burns, sister of Mrs. Johnson. Her' inclination to be "elegant" is never quite concealed by her gentleness, and her attempts to curb Fairy May's imaginative flights keeps her constantly per turbed. Miss Burns was also ac tive in Medford High plays, and has one Foollighter role to her credit having appeared in r "Goodbye My Fancy." Portrays Doctor In keeping with the Footlight ers policy of recruiting new, ' young talent, two young men play their first Footlighter roles in "The Curious Savage." Lyle tfomiHAn a .Tnrlrcnnville hiffh school graduate, is cast in the role of Dr. Emmett, who man- . ages to keep both patients and visitors fairly calm. The sym pathetic and understanding doc tor finds himself confronted with more serious problems in deal ing with visiting relatives than in the treatment of his patients. - Youngest member of the cast is Carl Gordon.
