HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1959-01-22, Page 7Perry realized he had lost the
vet through being too anxious to
win it quickly, and he did not
repeat his error in the decider.
Instead, it was Cachet who
"blew up" to lose at 6-1,
Next day the French pair won
the doubles so the last day be-
gan with 13ritain leading 2-1,
Austin facing the wily Cachet.
Lacking Perry's stamina, "Bun-
ny" tired after winning the first
set
Cachet became the hero of the
French crowd with a win at
5-7, 6-4, .4-0, 6-4, 6.4 to make
the series two all.
As Perry ''and Merlin came out
for the depicting match, the
crowd's sympathies naturally
were with the young Freneh,
man. He had the responsibility
of trying to keep the Cup in
France against the man who was
proving himself the greatest
British player of his genera-
tion, Would nerves ruin Merlin.
or would the tide of enthusiasm
inspire him to win?
For a time it seemed. the
crowd and Merlin would prove
an unbeatable combination. Per-
ry, plainly affected, by the
cheering, lost the first set 6-4.
After leading 4-3 in the second
he lost his service and the next
game.
Merlin needed only one point
for the set, and the crowd went
crazy. With a 2-0 lead, he seem-
ed set to win. But Perry, grit•
ting his teeth, grimly returned
everything, and at last the young
Frenchman, overcome by the ex-
citement, cracked. He lost that
vital point; Perry pulled up and
took the set at 8-6 to level the
match and skated through the
next at 6-2.
Merlin made one last effort.
As against Cochet two days pre-
viously, Perry became too eager
to finish it, and his 4-1 lead in
the fourth set was whittled away
and Merlin got to within a point
of 6-6.
The Frenchman had now be-
come the killer at the net. Four
successive strokes from him
were all smashes. Yet each
time Perry returned them. His
fourth "miracle" return was all
that was necessary. Merlin could
not get the ball across again,
Perry had w,on the point, and
quickly took the set and the
match.
The Davis Cup had gone back
to Britain. Appropriately, it
stayed there as long as Perry
remained in the Davis Cup team.
During World War II, a pri-
vate and a sergeant were court-
martialed for striking a colonel.
Asked why he had done it,
the sergeant explained that the
colonel, while passing down the
line of review, had stepped on
his sore foot.
"Instinctively," said the ser-
geant, "I threw up my guard,
like anyone would do, and let
him have it before I realized
what had actually happened. It
was an accident, I can assure
you."
Then the buck- private was
asked for his explanation. "-Well,
you see, sir," he replied, "when.
I saw the sergeant strike the
colonel, I thought the war was
over."

The Great Battle
Of The Books
The Soviet Union has been
throwing "the book" at the
United States now the United
States _is' throwing• it back.
It has been throwing millions
of books around- the world —
books in some 50 different lan—
guages. Books about this• coun-
try — the classics, books on, eco-
nomics, history, fiction.
As a result,,if a popularity con-
test were to be conducted today
on the most popular American,
way out front in that Gallup
Poll would be—Abraham Lin-
calm-
In one Far Eastern country,
a 25'-cent paperback book • on
Lincoln sold out-practically over-
night-25,000 copies!
A best seller on the streets
in Arab countries is, of all thinks;
"Little Women." Some 60,000
copies of the Arabic translation
have already been snapped up—
by little Arab women.
In an Asian country, one mer-
chant rented doorway space for
a bookstall- featuring the low-
cost, paperback English transla- •
tions. He le reported to be doing
a flourishing business, during the
day; and subletting the'space for
sleeping quarters at night.
* The popularity of these paper-
backs is such, rumor has it, that
one trucklioad was hijacked and
sold on the "black' market."
It is thought they may even
be trickling through the Bamboo
Curtain into Red China from,
border countries where they are'
available.
The book program, under the
United States Information Agen-
cy, began in 1950, The agency
cooperates with American and
foreign publishers in the publi-
cation, translation, and distribu-
tion of these editions.
Since that time, more than
44,000,000 copies of 4,400 Amer-
ican titles have been put out
in 50 languages.
For many years, Soviet Com-
munist books, selling at extreme-
ly low prices, have been flooding
the book markets of the world,
or have -been given away free.
This country has entered the
battle of the books—that is, the
battle to tell the American story
- through its own literature —
under a three-part'progratn. This
includes assistance to publishers
in the production of hard cover
but inexpensive, books; produc-
tion' of low-cost paperbacks; and
the sale abroad by American
publishers of English language
paperbacks.
The latter program is made at-
tractive to publishers here under
a special currency arrangement
by Which, the government guar-
antees that they may convert
into dollars the foreign curren-
cies obtained from the sale of
their books in foreign,boolKstores.
Interest abroad in Americans
and their country is indicated by
the "best. sellers" among the
translations—some of which, in
cidentally, are produced by hand
presses Under the most primitive
publishing conditions.
American capitalism has been
so denounced by Soviet Russia
as to stimulate a great curiosity
abed it,• apiittrehtly, At any rate
one of the most popular trarisla-
tioria is "Capitalism in America"
by Frederick IVI. Stern,. published
in 25 languages.
You. A.
Place To Hunt
The most important thing to
the sportsman at this season of
the year is a proper place to
hunt. Withaut it, all be is likely
to get from extended touring of
the countryside are worn . out
ahoe leather, well - calloused
heels and a frustrated spirit,
Who will have the best hunt-
mg this season? The answer is
Fimple. The fellow who has had
foresight enough to make friends
with a number of landowners
during the closed season months
and secured permission to hunt
over their lands is the only one
who can ensure himself of fruit-
ful hunting opportunities. Un-
less, of course, he owns his own
property or prefers to take his
game on one or more of the
numerous commercial shooting
preserves which are rapidly
gaining popularity,
"The example of a friend of
mine in Alabama represents ex-
ceptionally fine farmer-sports-
man relations," says Henry P.
Davis, public relations manager,
Remington Arms Company, Inc.,
Bridgeport, Conn. "He lives in
a city located in a fine upland
game hunting area. He doesn't
own an acre of farm. land, yet
he is on a first name friendship
basis with farmers in every sec-
tion within• 50 miles radius of
his business. Arid the welcome
mat is out for him on practically,
any of these farms when the
huntipg season is ushered in. In
fact, in many cases hunting
privileges are closed to all ex-
cept him and any friend he
wants to bring along. Yet he
leases no hunting rights nor does
he make any cash payments for
the privilege to hunt on these
lands.
"How does he accomplish this?
Through the years he has prov-
ed himself -a staunch friend to
these landowners. He never
misses the" opportunity to do
small favors for them or give
them valuable, advice on major
matters. During the spring and
summer months, many of his
SundaY afternoOns are spent in
making short, friendly visits (he
describes them ;as-front porch
pop-calls) to these families. He
usually leaves a half-gallon ice
cream pack, some useful kitchen
or sewing utensil for the house-
wife or some-amusing trinkets
for the youngtsers.
!,!He's known as Mister Joe .
all over two.,counties and all are
thoroughly familiar with the'fact
that he likes to hunt quail and
doves. As a result many of
these farmers go to considerable
lengths to provide' proper nest-
ing and feeding .game habitat
for his pleasure alone—although
he has never asked for the ex-
clusive hunting_rights op any
area. It's just that they know
they can depend 'upon him for
assistance when needed and, it is
their way of showing apprecia-
tion.
"There are lots of
of within the ranks of sportsmen.
No one has a patent or monopoly
on friendly relations and anyone
who will try can be a Mister Joe
in' his own community. It doesn't
cost much and „the small ex-
penditures necessary are return-
ed many times in valued friend--
ship : . plus the big bonus of
excellent hunting opportunities.
"Here are a few simple rules
through which any cooperative
sportsman can make himself
welcome in any farming com.7
munity , and assure himself a
good place to hunt:
1 Always drive in to the
farmer's yard and ask permis-
sion to hunt.
2 Hunt only in the areas he
/designates, N ever •go on
ground he wishes to keep in-
violate. Stay away from his
stock,
3 Respect his fences. If neces-
sary to climb them, climb over
by a post, Use gates if possible,
closing them behind you. Al-
ways replace lowered bars..
4 Never shoot near houses, barns
or livestock,
5 Leave his' fruit and other crops
alone. If you want some, buy
it from him.
6 Go around fields where people
are working, or pastures where
'livestock is grazing, Do not
walk on seeded ground Don't
walk through standing grain.
7 Shoot crows and predators
that d6 damage to his crops
' and livestock.
8 ST-I'AI4, YOUR GAME WITH

Wife or children Seine little
gift or token of friendship.
10 After you've become well ac-
quainted, suggest a planting
program to be t t et game

or help him with it, thereby
showing genuine interest in hit
tholes.

"The New Soviet Empire"- by

are high on the popularity list,
indicating curiosity also in de-
velopments in the Soviet Union,
writes Josephine Ripley in. The
Christian Science Monitor.
Such classics as John Stuart
Mill's "Essay on Liberty,': "The
Federalist Papers," and other
similar writings are going' well
in some countries: The 'Essay on '
Liberty" was actually reviewed
in half a dozen ,different news-
papers in. Damascus, and Syria
after its 'publication. there.
Japan is taking to the Ameri-
can/classics, •and the books are
being used in schools in that
country. Intellectual circles in
Italy have been making "The
Federalist Papers" a subject of
seminar discussions.
The American' books do not go
into Soviet Russia or its sate).-
liteS. They are distributed, how-
ever, in Poland and Yugoslavia.
The Yugoslays have been par-
ticularly interested in transla-
tions of books on the war by
Generals Eisenhower, Clark, and
Bradley, but also go for such
books, as "The Sea Around Us"
by Rachel Carson; "The Life of
George Gershwin"; Hawthorne's
"The Scarlet Letter".

"Moby
Dick"; and works on the Ameri-
can economy,
The program has been consid-
ered tremendously 'ellective, and
one of this country's best long-'
range foreign programs. But it is
still far smaller In scope than
that of the Soviet Union which
prints many millions of books
annually for distribution abroad,
with stepped-up output to such
'areas as the Near and Middle
East.

Defied Killer
ro Win. Trophy
No other sports tournament
can rival the Davis, Cup for the
way in which the honors go
round, Great Britain, Australia,
France and the United States
have all held the trophy for a
period of years without inter-
ruption. Once they lose, usually
they have taken years to get it
back again.
Just now, over in Sritain
there are signs that they are get-
ting strong enough to make a
real challenge once more, and
that the 20-odd years "in tlu-
wilclerness"e are coming to an
end. This story of a week-
end in Paris in 1933, which end-
ed in the Cup's returning to
Britain after an absence of 21
years -- a victory which ended
the hoodoo that seemed to haunt
the players and shattered
France's domination of this fam-
pus international lawn tennis
event.
France had held the Cup since
1927 after two years as losing
finalists. In all those eight years
they had relied on only four
players — Jean 'Betotra, Rene
Lacoste, Jacques Brugnon and
Henri Cochet — the "Four Mus-
keteers", as they were called
Now the team was breaking up.
Lacoste had retired and in his
place the French authorities
were giving a chance to a new-
comer named Andre Merlin.
The draw brought Merlin on
court in the first match, against
Austin. The Englishman, anxi-
ous to strike a quick demoraliz-
ing blow, swept his young op.
ponent off the court in less than
an hour: the score, 6-3, 6-4, 6-0,
tells its own story.
Cochet revived French hopes
with a display against Perry that
had the strongly partisan crowd
cheering for minutes on end and
that had an unexpected yet ,im-
portant sequel. The veteran
Frenchman followed Austin's
example and gave his opponent
no chance to settle down. He
was leading 4-1 before Perry
began to get a grip on himself
and pulled back to 4-4.
Five times Cochet was within
a stroke of winning the set, yet
each ; time Perry pulled him
back. Then the Englishman
served a double fault to lose at,
10-8,
This upset Perry and he could
do nothing right at the start of
the second. Cochet led 4-2 be-
fore the Englishman recovered
his touch to draw level, take the
lead, and finally coast home - at
6-4, and when he took the first
1W4 games in the third set the
match seemed over.
But Cochet, far from spent,
pulled up to lead 5-3 -and was
in sight of capturing the set.
Once more, however, fortunes
turned and again Perry drew
level, finally winning at 8-6.
The two men had been playing
hard for nearly two hours in
tropical heat. Cochet looked tir-
ed, but after trailing 3-1 'he took
the next five games to draw
level at two sets all. Immedi-
ately pandemonium broke out,
and it was some minutes before
order could be restored and the
game resumed,
