o Tony Trabert Tennis Record Tony Trabert, world amateur champion who will appear here on May 28 when Jack Kramer's World Championship Tennis Tour plays at Hedrick junior high school gym, has compiled one of the greatest records ever produced by an amateur. For those who are skeptical, take a look at the record. Tony is an example of the American big game, and this year's tour has proven it is easy for him to make the adjust ment to the indoor situation. He is what tennis fans would call a "shot maker;" he has a big serve, a wonderful backhand volley and a variety of passing shots. He has a knack of adjust ing his game to any surface or condition. In 1955 he was able to win the national titles on wood, clay, grass and concrete, and has found no problem in adapting his game to canvas. In his Medford appearance, which is sponsored by the Med ford Lions club, Tony will clash with the gseat Pancho Gonzales. The match will be part of their cross-country series for a $25,000 contract bonus. Following is Trabert's 1955 record: Received U. S. Tennis Writers Association award for "disting uished service to tennis in 1954" after recapturing Davis Cup from Australia. Won U. S. L. T. A. national indoor singles championship.

(U.R) For mer Airman Daniel Schmidt celebrated his 24th birthday quietly today while recuperat ing from an operation under gone during three years in a Red Chinese dungeon. Schmidt, released last August by the Reds to return home where he found himself a latter-day "Enoch Arden," was hos pitalized a month ago at San Francisco Veterans hospital. His wife, Una, said Schmidt suffered complications from an appendectomy performed by the Reds during his imprisonment. Schmidt was captured by the Reds in January, 1953, when his plane crashed in North Korea. After three years in a Red dungeon on "spy" charges he re turned home to find his 23-year-old wife living with a lumber jack she said she had married in the belief Schmidt was dead. The case was likened to the "Enoch Arden" epic poem of Lord Tennyson, in which Arden returned home after being ship wrecked 10 years to find his wife remarried. Una subsequently returned to Schmidt and they went on a sec ond honeymoon. The lumber jack, Alford Fine, 21, married a Redding girl last December. Schmidt planned to return to work at a plywood plant 10 miles south of here next week. Una has been working at a soda fountain here. Una said they are quite hap py.
