HALJll-‘AX, June 28 —- (OP) __ TennLs followers in the Eastern United States have long been "IN-bills for e player who calls home anywhere east of the Mississ- ippi to take the centre court at famed llbrest Hills. N. Y.

They think they've found such a person in 20-year-old Rhoda Joan Hopkins. who may be a starter in this year's Canadian lawn tennis cha-aiplonships here Aug. 1-6.

Rhoda is a pupil of the tennis coach Mercer Beasley, who tutor- ed Frankie Parker of Los Angeles, i0 loll ranking in international tennis. In‘ 26 years of coaching, Bcazley has seen his pupils carry of! 89 American and international termis titles and he hopes Miss HODkins will be in there alter the Canadian women's title, won lest year in Toronto by Pat Macken oi Montreal.

strategists plotting the Cana- dian net classic, part of the city's blcentenary sport program, have received a. request from Miss Hop- kins of Woodhaven, N- Y., for 1n. formation on the tournament.

In 1946. Miss Hopkins ranked 15th in the U. _S. and has been |gently nudging her stock higher [since that time.

Several other American net stylists are expected at this year's citampionehi .. Tournament chair- man H. L. (Harry) Roper- of Hall- fur has written liviJ-s. l-lezei Wight- man, wife of the domr of the Wightman Cup, in an effort to have at least eight of the first 30 leading American women players compete in Halifax. Notices of the tournament have been mailed to all clubs in Canada en-d to several leading U. S. clubs to promote a large competitive list. The championships will be play-

ed on the oourta of the Cathedral, - End and Weegwoltic Tennis v _ Entries close July 21. It is not known yet whether Bill Tully of Bronxville, N.Y., who won the 194B men's singles title. will defend his charnpionliip. He defeated Montreal's Henri Rochon in the finals lest July at ‘Toronto. Miss Macken, in winning the wo- men's singles, became the first ﬂnadinn winncr since 1940. 1t is hoped by tunnsment officials that she'll be in Halifax to put he: crown on the line. Another likely starter is last year's Junior champ, urns Main. the ambidextrous star from Van- couver. He is headed into senior. company this year. . This year the Canadian iunior titles will be played apart from the other events. ‘rhea: are men's and ladies’ singles and doubles andihe veteran's singles and doubles cham- pionships.
