(By Alan Gould, Associated Press Sports Editor. manor HILLS, N. Y., Sept. 1o.- (A-P.) — With a sudden, dynamic ‘m; that swept everything before him and broke up an otherwise dramatically close battle for points, dark-haired, 24-year-old Frederick y pmy of England whipped the great Jack Crawford of Australia in iive sets today for the tennis cham- pionship cf the United States.

gpeclfilillki, little short of a capacity crowd, watched the fiery Perry , i e with the speed and power of fir; corba in the last two sets.

British Davis Cup hero came from behind, after losing two heart-

crushing set duels, to win by scores oi 9-3, 11-13, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1.

Proving himself one of the great- est match-players of modern tennis history, Perry smashed Crawford's

First British Victory in 30 Years

For three sets they waged l close and frequently exciting con- test for points, 1n which the for- tunes shifted with mighty dramatic swiitness.

to Crawford and the Anzac looked like the winner when he also took the third set with a masterful dis- play of tactics. There were drama- tic moments that favored him in

i In the 22nd game of the second set Perry was within two points of winning, only to have Crawford

to save his service. In the 23rd game, Perry led 40-30 as Crawford whirled to make a spectacular re- turn of a difficult shot behind the baseline. As he completed the stroke, Crawford spilled, much as he had done the day before, and landed fiat on the turf. Perry was at the net, his racquet poised for a "killing" return, only to plop the ball into the net.

Losing his pose and control for the first time, the Briton double- faulted, lost his service and “blew” the 24th game with wild returns, en- - abling Crawford to square the match and forge ahead with more confid- ence. ~

A strong, gusty wind whipped through the Stadium most of the afternoon, often playing tricks with shots and partially accounting for an unusual number of double-faults. They piled up 23 double faults be-. tween- them, 12 by Crawford and ll by Perry.

It was Saturday when the last American hope of saving something out of the tennis wreck 01.1933 was blasted by the twin shot-making wizards of the British Empire who duelied between themselves today.

Crawford, despite a bad spill 1n the first set that painfully twisted his left knee, scored an unexpect- edly one-sided victory on the wild and over-anxious New Yorker, Frank X. Shields, by scores of 7-5, 6-4 ,6-3. Perry routed Lester Stoefen, tall California blond, with almost ridicu- lous ease in the first semi-final, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.

C. Ross Somerville, the silent Canadian from London, Ont, 1s the defending champion, but there were other heroes of the hour in- eluding Johnny Goodman oi’ Oma- ha, Nob, the United States open title holder who many believe will duplicate the feat of Bobby Jones and win both championships the l same year. As payer after player finished his practice round over the cham- pionship layout today it became more and morefipparent the tour- nament would be a. wide open race with Somervllle and Goodman conceded a. slight edge by the gal- leryltes and experts.

Although these two stood out as the men to beat, there are at least a score of serious contenders, in- cluding five former champions-H. Chandler Egan of Del Monte, Calif, Charles Evans, Jr., of Chicago, Jesse Guilford of Auburndale,‘ Mass, Jesse W. Sweetser of Mt.‘ Vernon, N. Y., and MIX F. M11801’! of Guelph Mills, Pa.
