Washburn Is Uncertain.
Washington's hopes depend greatly

who for some time has been sojourn-
ing in our midst, is available. Ordi-
narily his services would be assured
but as the Church cup match between
the New York and Boston teams will
take place in the Hub on June 10, and
as Washburn is a member OF the
Gotham combination, il is feared that
Washington will not have the berert
of his expert ability in the Hotchkiss
cup play.
Even if Washburn should not be
available, Washington is in a better
position than in 1921, as ii will have
Dwight Davis and Dudley Morgan.
two players who Were not on hand
last year. Davis was not playing
competitive tennis at the time and
Morgan was out of the city. They
will add considerable strength to thr
capital outfit.

These two teams are much stronger
than Columbia Country Club, the
both have beaten decisively.
Dumbarton won in its previous
meeting with Chevy Chase, in close,
hard-fought match. Although the
count was to >, the contests were
SO close that IL would not have taken
much to have turned the tide the

probably would have won. as its ei-

burn available for next Saturday the
match should be about the best tennis
team battle of the local season.
