ned off several times by visiting play
ers. Fritz Mercur of Lehigh and
Cedric Major of New York both hold
legs on the District trophy, While
MarywilI Wakeford of Georgia has
claimed the women's crown q number
of times.
According to the present plans, II
the new idea meets with the approval
of Col Sheriff., the championship OF
Washington will be decided in five
events, open only to players resident
in the District or employed locally.
Club affiliations will be disregarded
entirely The event will be conducted

and the District Tennis Association.

most welcome addition to the tennis
season. 1t would take the place of
the women'S municipal tournament,
which fair enthusiasts have attempted
unsuccesSfully to organize for several
years.
The plan has been discussed with
Col. Sheriff., and while he has not
vet made public his decision. il is
