New York, Sept 7 We sat in a few moments age at the
coronation of a new TJ.S. tennis champion.
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. Tilden was the title-holder then end kept it Seixas (pro
nounced "See-Shus") was the title-holder today but lest it The
winner was a husky kid Just out of the navy by the name of
Trabert who hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, where Geosge Roberts
came from (or near there).
"Kid" is the proper term for Trabert. When he won the title
he threw his racquet high in the air, and let it fall ha knew not
where, as he rushed to the net to be congratulated by the loser.
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. It 'seemed to be a very
happy occasion all around.

The opening day in this valley

This year most Jackson county

for nearly a week because of the

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

the foundation, but he begged

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. Some jlay a youngster will come up

side of the sport just as another. Yankee win will be bad for

joy and the complete naivete of the youngster was most appeal

was in his prune. But we don't know of a sport where being "on'

I has been interpreted as partial
confirmation of these reports.
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.

The international money

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. Medford hign
school iunior. This marks his
first attempt at make believe in -any
play, as he' enacts the role -of
Titus' undistinguished broth
er. Somewhat lost in the
nenumbra of his brother's cold
authority, and his sister's brittle
self-assurance, he manages nev
ertheless to retain some of the
remnants of his wealthy family's
dignity in the role or judge
Savage. M
