VON GRAMM TO RETIRE FROM TENNIS
* NEW YORK, December 22. The German tennis player, Gottfried von Cramm, in a letter to J. D. Budge, reveals that he is retiring from tournament and Davis Cup tennis, and intends to enter a banking house. Budge, who expressed his regret, said that von Cramm was one of the finest sportsmen he had ever met. “Australia,” he added, “is thus the logical team to meet the United States in the 1939 challenge round. They will be our most dangerous rival.”
