GERALD THE GIANT
Hopes to Break Into America’s Cup Cupboard This Year
By NORMANL .IIROWN
Gerald Patterson. large of frame.
mighty of heart. and one of the
greatest tennis technicians in the
world. has come to the United
States to play with the Australian
team which will try once more to
wrest the coveted Davis Cup from
America.
Patterson is in form. He showed
that in his first important appear-
ance here when he defeated the
wirey litilc Jap. 'l‘akeichi Harada.
in a five-set match in the finals of
ihe Longwood Bowl tourney at
Brookline. Mass.
This tourney always includes
many national and international
figures and is ranked as one of the
most indicative meets of the suin-
mer. The form displayed by the
leaders can be taken as a. true line
on (their real condition.
Patterson lost the first not to
the Jep 5-7 and the Oriental star
had five points against him in the
second set when Patterson got an—
dcr way. The big Antipodcan then
proceeded to take seven straight
points and the set. He lost. the
third set and then allowed the Jan-
anese just four points in the next
two.
In Dad's Footsteps.
Patterson's father was a brilliant
player. It was only natural that
he should plan on Gerry following
his footsteps. As soon as the boy
was old enough to grasp the game
he was placed in rigid training.
Gerry tells now how the elder Pat-
terson made him arise at ti o. m.
and be on the courts a short time
later.
The court on which he played
was an asphalt one. How the ball
did bound. This had the effect.
however of making him the bril-
liant backhand player that he is.
It also helped him develop the
smashing style he has. The ball
came off the asphalt like a ballot.
Patterson. with his reach and pow-

The «listing of Bender u a regu-
lar pitcher for the Chisox calls
to third the fact that this 42-year-
old Chippewa Indian probably
was the greatest money player the
game has known.
Back in 1911 the Athletics were
playing the Giants for the cham-
pionship of the world. New York
won the that game and tign Mack‘s
boys won three in a. row.
Four victories would end the

This developed some ugly talk.
Betters who had lost intimated that
the game was thrown away so that
the club owners might get the gate
of a. sixth contest.
Connie Mack heard some of this
unfair and loose talk. He also
heard that this team was supposed
to lose the sixth game so that a
seventh would be played and more
dollars roll into the owner's tilts.
0n thi! morning of the day on
which the sixth game was to be
played Mack sent for Chief Bender.

"If you win the game for me.

Bender pitched one of the spark-

noon and but the Giants. 13-2.
That was "money-pitching.”
