His overhead
erratic.
Second to Jones I place Charles Watson III of Philadelphia. Here
is a boy with a most remarkable resemblance to Chuck Garland in
style of his game. Watson has a fine service, beautiful ground
strokes fore and backhand and a more aggressive volley than
Garland. His overhead lacks punch. He is the cleverest court
general among the juniors.
Phillip Bettens of San Francisco is a possible successor to Billy
Johnston. Bettens has a terrific forehand drive and a rushing net
attack. He needs to steady up his game, but he is a player of
great promise.
Armand Marion of Seattle, Washington, is another boy with a
finely rounded game who, given experience and seasoning, bids
fair to become a great star. Marion does not have enough punch
yet and, needs to gain decisiveness of attack.
Charles Wood of New York, W. W. Ingraham of Providence, Milo
Miller and Eric Wood of Philadelphia, John Howard of Baltimore,
and others are of equal class and of nearly equal promise to the
boys I have mentioned.
In the younger class of boys those under 15, one finds many
youngsters already forming real style. The boy who shows the
greatest promise and today the best all-round game, equalling in
potential power even Vincent Richards at the same age, is
Alexander L. (Sandy) Wiener of Philadelphia. At fourteen young
Weiner is a stylist of the highest all-court type.
Among the other boys who may well develop into stars in the
future are Meredith W.
