RACKETERS ARE BUSY
IN DISTRICT TOURNEY

Several unfinished matches, halted
on account of rain yesterday, were
to be continued this afternoon on
the Dumbarton courts, where the
District title tourney is under way.
John Temple Graves. who defeated
Don Sickler, 60, 6-3, in his initial
contest yesterday, is scheduled to
complete his match with II. Nc
Diarmid of Western High School, in
which he had captured the first set
at 60 and was leading, 40, in the
second before rain interfered with
play.
Edward Garbish of West Point and
w. l.. Powers of Waco. Tex, were
leading Tom Mangan and Fred Haas,
seeded doubles pair, 4-3 and deuce, in
the first set of their first round en-
counter. They will renew the battle
at o'clock this afternoon.
A. G. King, former Junior cham
pion, has one set on E. M. Hinkle,
his third round opponent, captured
after long struggle, IL.
Fred Haas and Paul Harding pro-
duced the best tennis yet seen in
the tourney in their three set thriller
played late in the afternoon on rain
soaked courts.
Despite the heavy courts and leaden
ball, these two set fast pace and
kept 1t throughout the match, driving
and smashing with exceptional ac-
curacy.
Pa Harding. seasoned netman, re-
peatedly thrilled the gallery by his
spectacular recoveries and his skill
full placements. He took the second
set from the Georgetown star after
the latter had fought his way to
within two points of match at 5-
Haas exhibited unusual skill in
placing deep court drives down his
opponents side line and won numer-
Gus points by his accurate net
smashes. His consistent service VIC
tories gave him the edge on the match
which he ultimately won, 6-4, ST,
Is.
