DARK HORSE TAKES
TECH TENNIS TITLE

Esther Jolley, the dark horse" OF
the Mckinley High School singles ten
mis- tournament, romped home for a
spectacular victory yesterday, captur-
ing the title with the loss of single
game in the browning match in which
she scored over Hilda Drach, 6-l, Go,
on the Henry Park courts.
Previously Miss Jolley had scored I'M
presSively over Katherine WaSsman,
1928 runner-up, in the semi-fnals,
while Miss Drach had eliminated Anita
Dunlap, defending champion. MISS
Jolleys victory was doubly Significant,
therefore, in that she defeated the con-
uueror of the titleholder.
Miss Jolley's net ability was unknown
to McKinleyites until this Spring, as she
entered the school only last September
coming from Buffalo, where she had de-
veloped a game characterized by un-
usual accuracy and speed, especially IN
the back court, where her fleet footwork
made her easily superior over all OF hel
competitors in the school event.
A minor T, the highest athletic award
open to girls at Mckinley, will be pre-
sented Miss Jolley at the senior assem-
bly,, to be held at the school next week
probably on Wednesday.
Jeanette Cavanagh, physical educa-
ton director, refereed the title match

Interdepartmental Golf Cro,on
ShipIey's after 3-Yen Effort

HREE years of struggle to
win the individual golf
championship of the Inter
u departmental Golf League
came to a successful conclusion
for M. A. Shipley of the State De-
partment yesterday. TraverSing
the tortuouS, tree-lined fairways
of the Manor Club in rs and rs
for a 36-hole total of 161, Shipley
won the championship by mar
gin of 10 strokes over his nearest
rivals.
T. M. Belshe of the War Department
and John r. Miller of the Treasury tied
for second place with scores of 161.
Miller was the defending champion.
Two years ago, over the same course,
Shipley tied with George Wadsworth
for the title, and lost on the play-off.
Last year at Indian Spring he had a
chance to win, but was noSed out by
Miller Yesterday he set a scorching
pace over the first round, getting back
over the last nine in "a strokes and
getting over the first nine in the after
noon in SO to sew up the title. Even
though he came back in 40 he had too
long lead to allow Miller to catch him.
Treasury Wins Cup.
Shipley's fine play could not win the
Mellon team trophy for the State De-
partment, however, for the more con-

rotary Mellon two years ago. Members
Of the winning team were John r.
Miller, j. j. Lynch, J. F. Phelan and

State Department team by one stroke.
The State Department team was made
up of Shipley, E. P. Hair, ]. I. Heating

DAVIS CUP TEAMS
PLACES ALL OPEN
Players Representing U. S.
Will Be Picked with
out Fear or Favor"
June 5 %

- Eugene Dixon, non
playing captain of the
United States Davis Cup
team, declared today that every
position on the team for the inter
zone final still was open and that
in making his selections he would
act without fear or favor"
Mr.. Dixon said that all members OF
the squad would have an equal chance
to gain positions on the team and that
when the selections we're made tennis
fans would know that the players had
been chosen because they deserved and
earned their positions"
IT never entertained the thought"
Mr.. Dixon asserted, that the various
places would be assigned on the
strength of performances in years
gone by.
"As captain of the United States
Davis Cup team, I am particularly
anxious to win. The boys who have
followed me in the home matches have
fought with honor for their country.
John Hennessey, John Van Ryn,
Wilmer Allison and George M. Lott are
sportsmen who have battled hard and
clean. They also have displayed skill
which augurs we'll for the future.
There is no way of telling what Is
in store for US. A much better idea
of the strength of the team will be
obtained when Bill Tilden and Francis
Hunter join the squad. Every posi-
ton is open. The players will be
watched closely in the Wimbledon
championships and the international
match with Spain"

Voigt May Fight EN-.
"Of course, some new amateur
star may come along to succeed
Jones, and even George Voigt
might give the pros battle for a
few years; but I doubt if the am
ateurs will fare as we'll for many
years as they have since 1913"
Evans related to the writer how he
never entered an open championship
until 1914, although he had been COM
peting in the amateur for several years
prior to that.
IT did not think had chance" he
declared. LAS a matter of fact, I was
down East in 1918, just a short time
before Ouinet won at Brookline. I had
beaten Francis and Jerry Travers on
medal play at Garden City, but did not
enter the open. I could not have won,
anyhow, for Ouimets victory over Var
don and Ray was the greatest feat in
American golf. But it just shows you
the feeling amateurs once had relative
to the open"
Chick will attempt to qualify for the
approaching open at Winged Foot, and
if successful will be one of the real
veterans in the field. He broke in one
year after Hagen, and Mike Brady will
be the only contestant to antedate
those two-if Michael qualities.
Chick Has Bright Record.
Evans has a splendid record in the
open championships. After finishing

courses on Long Island from early

New York, June 27-29 in the open golf
championship.
OF the 235 in the New York district,
only % can qualify, so more than 200
will lust play SO holes of golf Monday.
In the Chicago district there are IA
places and 122 bidders. Pittsburgh has

No. 4 is 1856 yards longer than No. but
the par is the same-72-with So

performance.
After the 10 tests Monday have re-
duced a field of 1,O01 to $50, the golf
stage will be set for the thirty-third
competition for the open championship.
Thirty-ffve players will not have to play
Monday as they are exempt, either as a
result of finishing among the first 80 in
the last open championship, playing in
the British open, or registering as a

the ball he was using He won at Mini
kahda in 1916, and later took the anna
teur at Merton. His dual victory that
year is one record Bob Jones never has
been able to equal. He was the first
amateur in the open from 1919 to 1921.
and since Jones came to the front has
consistently been the second best.
Chick was the first amateur ever to
win an important open championship
in the United States. He captured the
Western open in 1910, and still is the
only amateur ever to win in that event,
which annually attracts a star field.
Chick has played little or no golf since
last Autumn, but intends putting in
some hard work on the fairways dur
ing the next two weeks in an effort to
attune his game for the qualifying test
at Olympia Fields.
Evans still is one Of the greatest
short-iron players in the game and one
of the sports most popular figures. He
has played in more open championships
than any other amateur, and in more
amateurs than any other player with
the exception of Bill Fownes. And the
golf1ng world wants him to play in
many more.
The open at Winged Foot probably
will be purely a domestic affair. The
latest bulletin issued by the U. S. G.. A.
shows no entries from Great Britain,
and unless some of the British pros
elect to come over at the last moment
the championship will lack an interna-
tional flavor for the first time since
1920, when Ted Ray captured the title
at inverness. But with Jones, Horton

cal condition, with the stamina to
last the four burning rounds in the

is his wonderful golf temperament,

the fourth is the fighting spirit, the
love of conflict that goes with youth,
as represented by young Horton

Add to these the experience gained
