FOREST HILLS. N. Y.. Sept. 10 —-1nch for inch the greatest lime player in the world, Bryan M, GTE-HI», J!‘-, 011C GGOIQIB, gnome who stands scarcely over five feet, com- pleted the bl88%t tennis upet, of the year today when he vanquished towering Don Budge in four sets, 6-4. 6-4, 5-7. 6-3. and Rained the semi-final round of the United States tennis championships,

It was an old story over again with an up-io-date angle. Grant became a "giant killer" of prom- inence 1n 1933 when he breazed through Ellsworth Vines in straight sets at a time when Vines was de- fending the United States title. He's been taking periodic falls out of the big fellows ever since,

In subdulng Budge he halted, temporarily at least, one of the most brilliant rises of a youngster in the history of the game. Budge, with victories over Bunny Austin and Baron Gottfried Von Cramm seeded second among the United States entrants and conceded as having the best chance of dethron- ing champion Fred Perry of Eng- land. ' Budge, Davis Cup singles player, actually lost to the Atlanta atom yesterday when the contest was . stopped because of rain with Grant leading 8-4. 6-4. 2-1. Budge thrives on speed~the harder an opponent hits the boll the better he 11km It. Grant fed him nothing but soft spinners yesterday and continued these tacfrics when play was re- sumed this afternoon.

Grant's victory advanced ih-m to the penultimate round. His oppon- ent tomorrow will be sldney Wood, Davis Cup alternate and former Wimbledon champion. The other semi-finalists are champion Perry and Wilmer Allison. These contests will be played in advance of the match between Helen Jacobs and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan for the women's championship, which Miss Jacobs has won the pest three years.

Island Horse Winner At Fred e ricton

FREDERICTON, N. B., Sept. l0.- Heber Sweeney. of Brldgewater, N.S., surprised many spectators at the Fredericton exhibition this af- ternoon by piloting Signal Senator to a win in the 2.18 ‘Prof: and Pace, one of three events on the opening program of a three-day harness racing meet. Btty S, bay more from Saint John, won the junior free for all after dropping the first heat and Calumet B, owned and driven by Wellington McNelll, Char- lottetown, took the 2.18 Trot. by winning the first two heats.

A feature of today's events was that none of the winners could take three heats in a row. Signal Sena- tor, competing against more highly favored pscers, had been overlooked by some of the experts. Sweeney has been grooming her particularly for the Halifax Exhibition opening September 30. The time of 2.07%. made by the mare in the second heat, was the best cf iihe day.
