FAME AND G >RY
OF FORMER DAYS
Famed Center Of Stadinm
At Forest Hills Preps
For New Match
By OSCAR FRALEY
United Press Staff Correspondent
FOREST HILLS. N. Y., Aug. 28
—(U.R)—The famed center court at
Forest Hills drowsed in noon-time
solitude as a brassy sun conjured
mental mirages today of a husky
youngster with silvery hair who
never had time to realize all his
ambitions.
From the sprawling clubhouse
FOREST HILL, N. Y., Aug.
28.—(U.R)—Led by defending
champions Pauline Betz, the
strawberry blonde from Los
Angeles, and Sgt. Frankie
Parker of the Army Air Forces,
the seeded stars advanced with
little difficulty today in the
opening matches of the Na
tional Amateur Tennis Cham
pionships.
The chief casualties before
a slim gallery were foreign
competitiors from six nations.
Seven were seeded in a foreign
ranking—and five were elimi
nated.
nearby came the dull hum of other
chattering youngsters. But the
grass green plot in the middle of
the horseshoe stadium was cloak
ed in a tepid silence that seemed
to whisper the fame and glory of
those had trod its well-groomed
surface.
Tilden of the cannonball service
...Lacoste, Borotra and Cochet, the
three-’ musketeers from France....
Vines and Budge and the Clown
ing Kovacs...and kids like young
Joe Hunt who went away to fight
a war and never wi’l come back.
The unhealable hurt is in boys
like yoiing Joe. The others had
their share of serving in the game
of life. Hunt was just about finish
ing his first set.
He had a lot of promise this tow
headed kid from San Francisco.
He was one of those boy wonders
who could wallop the daylights out
of you and make you like it with
a flashing smile that turned up
high at the corners. Joe was but
18 when they ranked him fifth na
tionally behind suclj greats as Don
Budge. Bobby Biggs, Frankie
Parker and Bitsy Grant.
That W'as in 1937, and two years
later he was chosen to play Davis
cup doubles with Jack Kram
er against the invading Australi
ans. That they lost, and in the pro
cess lost the big silver mug to
Adrian Quist and Johnny Brom
wich, was no disgrace. The two
Anzacs could have ber4ten any
pair in the world that day after
standing beside a radio in the
Merion Cricket Club and hearing
their king declare war.
TTie w»ar hadn’t struck yet
against American kids like Hunt
and Kramer. But they knew it was
coming and Joe turned toward
Annapolis. It was typical that a
tennis tyro, he wanted to be a
football player.
Joe wasn't varsity But for three
years he took a banging on the
“B” squad and still managed to
keep up his tennis. Thus it was
that following graduation, Lt. Joe
Hunt came back to Forest Hills
for one last crack at the National
title. He hadn’t played enough to
earn a National ranking so it was !
a bit surprising e.ven to himself
as he forged to the finale.
And there, facing him across
the net, was Kramer, his old Da
vis cup doubles partner now in
the Coast Guard. They had it out
right there on the center court just
two years ago and Joe Hunt car
ried off the prize.
The fates must have known then
that this was Joe’s last chance,
known it and smiled. For them
came intensive aviation training.
And last February Joe and his
single seater fighter plane went
into a spin from 10,000 feet and
crashed into the sea off Daytona
Beach. Neither of them ever came
up.
Yes, a lot of great ones have
come and gone over this famous,
sun-baked tennis court. But it’s
kids like Joe Hunt, who didn’t get
a chance to finish the game, that
you miss the most.

German Pugilist Denied
Right To Publish Books
BUNDE, Germany, Aug. 26.—(/P)
— Former world heavyweight
Champion Max Schmeling, who
said he wanted to publish books
to “re-educate the youth of Ger
many,’’ has been denied a license
to publish by the British Control
Commission, it was disclosed to
day.
British authorities were expect
ed to start a probe soon into re
ports that Schmeling's elaborate
publishing plan had the backing
of high British army officials, as
well as monied interests within
Germany.
The German pugilist—the only
man to knock out Joe Louis—is
iiving with his actress wife, Anny
Ondra, at Hamburg.
Sp*rts Officials Hit
Discord On Title Rale
NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 26,—{JP)~
Abe J. Greene, National Boxing
Association president, and Willie
Gilzenberg, manager of Freddy
'Red” Cochrane, world welter
weight champion, fought a battle
of statements today on the issue
of who should decide when it is
time for a champion to defend his
title.
The controversy was touched off
by an NBA announcement yester
day that all champions now out of
the services, whose titles were
frozen when they went in, should
begin arranging for title defenses.
The seldom-shaved but always
talkative Gilzenberg retorted that
he—and not any boxing commis
sioner—would decide when his boy
from Hillside, who got out of the
Navy in January and since has
been flattened twice by Rocky
Graziano of New York in over-the
weight, non-title bouts, should put
his title on the line in a cham
pionship bout.
Sen. Hattie Caraway of Jones

SNAVELY ATTACKS
RULING AGAINST
FORMER SOLDIERS
Says Meremant Underway
To Lift Ban On Re
trying Athletes
CHAPEL HILL, Aug. 38 — (IP) -
The rule against returning vet
erans attending the college of their
choice and being eligible to take
part in inter-collegiate athletics re
ceived a blasting from Carl Snave
ly, head football coach at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, here to
day.
Snavely, in an Interview with
Sports Editor Jack Horner of the
Durham Morning Herald, stated
that a concerted movement was
afoot in the Southern Conference
to have the ban lifted and predict
ed the way would be open to re
turning G.I.’s to be eligible for
athletics at colleges other than the
schools they attended before en
tering the service.
In a dispatch filed to his paper,
Horner quoted Snavley as saying
“that rule is a restriction on the
rights of the veteran and we’ve got
no business doing that to the fel
lows who went off and fought the
war for us.”
Snavely added: “The schools vot
ing against the veterans are being
selfish. We ought not to be so
afraid of one another and our evils
to have to do something unfair to
these boys. It’s the rights, not pri
perfectly legitimate reasons to be
able to go to the school of their
student activities like any other
student, if they can’t get the type,
of training they want at their form
er school.
“These Doys are far more ma
ture than when they went into the
service. They might want to study
something their former school
doesn’t have to offer them.
They’re going to demand, and re
ce.ve, what they want, instead oi
opening themselves up to a lot oi
the way for these veterans to go to
the school they desire.” >
The Southern Conference trans
fer rule, similar to the one re
cently passed in the Southeastern
Conference, shuts the door in the
face of a G. I. athlete who wants to
go to a school other than the one he
attended before he went Into the
service.

Ray Flaherty Talked
As New Brook Mentor
- X
By BUS BAM
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—<*>
Ray Flaherty, “within the nexi
tew days,” probably will become
coach of the Brooklyn club of the
National Professional Football
League, it was learned today.
Tom Gallery, Brooklyn’s general
manager, said that he plans to
‘sign a coach” within that time
for tiie 1946 season, and Flaherty
has been prominently mentioned
for the job.
Gallery was here to confer with
George Marshall, owner of the
Washington Redskins, for whom
Flaherty coached seven seasons,
winning the world professional
title in 1937 and 1942. ,
Flaherty, a lieutenant in the Na
vy, was reently discharged, Indica
tions are that Gallery will discuss
contract terms with Flaherty in
Chicago this week while attend
ing the college all-stars football
game with the Green Bay Packers,
National League champions.
Gallery commented on a con
troversial point in professional
gridiron circles, saying that the
Brooklyn team has defnitely decid
ed “to stick with the National
League.”
There has been considerable
speculation that the Brooklyn fran
chise, owned by Dan Topping,
wealthy sportsman, might go over
to the newly-organized All-America
Conference.
Gallery added that Topping’s
team “will play in New York’s
Yankee stadium in 1946.”
On the question of whether Top
ping’s club can satisfactorily fit
in home games in Yankee stadium
with the New York Giants, who
play at the Polo Grounds, Gallery
said: v
“We haven’t yet gone all the way
into next year’s schedule, and
will not do so until the league's
January meeting, but there is no
doubt in my mind about working
out home dates acceptable to us.”
This season, Brooklyn is com
bining forces with the Boston club,
and will play one home game in
Yankee etadium and four in Bos
ton.
