That advertisement may ap-

soon, If a certain and desperate
curly-headed young man, Dooly
Mitchell by name, gets any more
desperate.
Yesterday, teamed with young
Eddie Yoemans, the black
thatched wizard, the two lost to
Frank Shore, jr., and Anthony
LatOna, So, 3-6, GO, 6-3,
6-1, in the second round of the
Middle Atlantic Doubles Cham
pionships being decided at the
Congressional Country Club.
This wouldn't have been so
bad, only Dooly and Eddie were
picked by the concenSus of ex-
perts to be one of the finalists,
while Shore and Latona were re-
garded as tough opponents, but
not strong enough to trip this
combination.
Mitchell has had a hectic sea-
son in doubles this year. Paired
with William Buchanan, with
whom he Jared rather well year
back, they met defeat in this

Why should Dooly feel so bad
about these doubles? Well. Dooly
was one-half of one Of the great
est doubles teams that ever
pounded local courts in 1928 and
1929. He and Gwynn King al
most invariably managed to be
one Of the final twoSomeS in all
the District tournaments, and
won titles aplenty. King was
forced out Of tennis by a Shoul
der injury. That is why Dooly
Is. annoyed.
Nevertheless, those devotees
who watched him and Yeomans
yesterday, believe that he has
found the partner who will bring
new laurels to their combined
names. With q little more ex.
perience together to become bet.
ter acquainted with each others
game, these two youngsters will
make ranking doubles stand up
and take notice.
Yesterdays defeat was one Of
tlTose affairs which might have
gone either way. A momentary
let-up gave the juniors partner

hold and they, being somewhat
learned in the technics of the
court game, Immediately took ad.
vantage of the break and won.
In the meantime Shore
and Latona have to look
squarely into the grim coun.
