If he didn't retire each evening and rise

part of his mania was that he must get

his vollevs and stop volleys, have made
him a terror to opponents of the courts.

Will History Repeat
Ichiva Kumagae appears to be follow
ing the trend of lawn tennis history in
his inability to display any remarkable
kill at the doubles game Few of the
great players of the courts, the men who
have ealned the crowns and held them.
have taken their places on the heights
of the singles, while they scaled the
neaks of the doubles at the same time.
Kumagae is no exception. The great
Japanese player appeared to he as sklt
n.h aa i. colt nt a red umbrella when
he attempted teamwork with Selichlro
Kashiro on the turf of the Crescent Ath
letic Club at Bay Ridge
To those who critically watched the
work of the pair in doubles It was evi
dent that Kashiro is the member of the
nartnershln who won the points Some
how or other, Kumagae does not adapt
himself to the doubles game
Jt was the same with William A.
Lamed at the time the N'estor of the
American courts maintained his su
premacy In the singles. The dearest wish
of Larned's lawn tennis career was to
gain the national honors ln the doubles,
but he never accomplished It.
The same thing was true of William
J. Clotmer, and he teamed with Larned
a number of times In a desperate effort
to win the championship. At the time
he was Invincible In singles. Malcolm
D. Whitman sought to gain the doubles,
only to find that for him It was a will
o" the wisp. Kumagae undeniably Is most
formidable In singles, but he ls'far from
strong In doubVs.

smiled and replied-

k. in there all the time, and that this

In finding Black Sam."
