INDOOR net Event

NEW YORK, February 2. = Mrs.
Marion Zinderstein Jessup, Whining
ton, Del. won the final of the indoor
lawn tennis singles in the invitation
tournament courts of the Heights
Casino, Brooklyn, today. Absent from
competition for two years, she sig
nalized her return by remarkable
victory over Miss Lillian Scharman.
New York, No. 4 of the national
ranking list. The score was 6-4,
6-S, 60
The fast and steady driving of Mrs.
Jessup, combined with a marvellous
display Of court strategy, brought
her through. Miss Scharman made a
gallant fight In the first set Mrs.
Jessup- led 81 on games only to
have her younger opponent almost
overhaul her by the fury of her
drives. Mrs. Jessup- led AZ in. the
second set, after which she was out
played. She led SIS in the third set,
and was within a stroke of the match
In the ninth game only to be fought
OFF until the tenth game.
Miss Scharman lacked steadiness.
Although she outplaced Mrs. Jessup,
she was not accurate in the rallies,
especially from midcourt. and her
frequent netting of the ball at. criti-
cal stages cost her the match.

BARRY WOULD LIKE
TO PILOT GRIFFMEN

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WORCESTER, Mass, February q
Jack Barry, former manager of the
Red SoX, and at present coach at
Holy Cross College, said today that
he is willing and eager to return to
the big leagues as a pilot, and thinks
well of Washington.
Barry admitted that he would like
nothing better than to get into the
big game again..
81 was willing to talk business with
Griffith and made it plain that /
would appreciate the opportunity to
return to the big leagues, especially
to Washington, but the salary he Of
fered was not attractive enough.
II have kept in close touch with
the big leagues ever since I left the
Red Sox, thinking that perhaps the
day would come when could return
in some such berth as Griffith Of
fered me. It's a matter of business
with me. If the remuneration is suf-
flcient I would be interested"
Barry admitted that he had other
offers, all of which he had turned
down, either for the lack Of salary
attraction or because the location
did not appeal.
1.-THE first real thrill have had
since leaving the Sox came when the
Washington proposition was put up
to me. However, when l leave Wor-
cester and my job at Holy Cross it
will be only to better myself con-
siderably."
