Gabby likes to run the team
with a smile. It's lot easier and
a lot pleasanter. In the long run
it gets results. Somewhere behind,
the curtain Gabby has a bull whip
and he has the authority to WELD
1t where and when necessary. He
cracked it once this season, and
look at the Cards now!
Gabby is always home folks

He extends that gnarled and

DC. NET SEASON
NEAR END
By GINO SINH

The Wardman Park Hotel in
vitation tennis tournament, which
opens this afternoon at the hotel,
marks the close of the outdoor
tennis for the District.
This is one reason why a
goodly crowd of spectators are
expected. But another and the
chief reason is that all the pre-
mier tennis ball whangers OF
the city will be battling grin1ly
for supreme glory, and If the
ball ever gets there a split second
sooner, make of racquet or not,
it is sure to get there during
this tournament.
Here is a golden opportunity
for some obscure, unglorified
racquet-waver to flash across the
horizon of local tennis with re-
fulgent brightness. Which, all
in all, means that the man or
woman, singly and in twosomeS,
who wins this affair are bound
to come in for a lot Of back
humping and hand-shaking and
three or four rousing cheers.
1t was noted that Bob Con-
sidine hitched up his belt.
smiled that grim, lean-jOwled
COnsidinian smile, and
pounded the gut of his rae
quet to see that that split
second was still there and in
working order, when he heard
about the tournament.
It is also bruited about that
he looked at Dooly Mitchell sig
nificantly. Dooly was the curly
headed youngster who conquered
Bob in the National Public Parks
tournament recently and Bob's
synthetic French blood refuses
to cease boiling.
AS to Dooly, he says little, but
his peculiar, boyish smile plays
quietly about his lips as he twirlS
his racquet. Dooly is defending
champion and, of course, expects
to retain that status all through
next season in spite of Considine.
Eddie YoemanS, Tom Mangan,
Alan Staubly, Federico Sendel,

aces are also itching to grab the
crown of olives. Alex Keiles is
the lone Baltimorean in the
tournament.
All the brilliant girl stars are
also in the list, led by Frances
Krucoff, D. C. champion, and
defending titlist. Ruth Martinez,
Josephine Dunham, Frances
Walker, Corinne Frazier, and
Clara Tabler, the Baltimorean.
The girls first and second
round matches are being played

60 EXTRA
HOLES
BY JUNO KINERK

Every golf tournament brings
about it's upsets, its surprises
and it's unique shots. And the
one at Bannockburn, which goes
into its final stages today, Is Sec
ond to none in the way Of pro
viding outstanding features.
True, the dope has run pretty
true to form in getting to the
semifinals with John Shorey play
ing Harry Pitt and Bill DiEste
meeting Martin F. Mccarthy this
morning. However, the plan for
extra hole matches during the
first two rounds is something that
may be record.
Twelve matches in the five
flights were carried over, Bill
Penderg0st and Bill DiEste set
ting the marathon record by go
ing 81 holes before DiEste won:
two went 20 holes and nine went
to the ninteenth.
Golfers who found the 60
ing tough during the two
qualifying days found the
range yesterday and brides
and pars dotted players cards
galore.
Two outstanding shots were
made by Harry Pitt when he
reached the 580:yard sixteenth
with his second shot. This is the
first time such a record has ever
been made at Bannockburn.
Scarcely less thrilling than
Pitts fine shots was the accom-
plishment of Clarence Dodge, Jr,
who sank a 75-yard pitch in the
nineteenth to score an eagle two
and defeat Fred Rade, of Manor
Carl NoetZel also came through
with a thrilling performance in
his match with A. S. Gardiner, jr.
Dormie two, Noetzel staged a fine
. rally that saw him win the next
three holes and the match with
two pars and a birdie.
, A birdie two on the seventeenth
, enabled Bill Pendergast to battle
Bill DiEste all the way to the
! ItWenty-first before succumbing
, tJuSt to add further proof of what
, kind OF amatch this VAS the
nineteenth was halved In birdie
threes, while DiEste copped the
: decision by another birdie on the
third extra hole.
In his first round, DiEste
the morning Bill had John l..
Quigley four up and only to
play when the latter rallied
and squared the match on the
; eighteenth. Bill just chewed
his cigar little stronger then
and went on to win it with
birdie three on the first extra
hole.
Harry Pitt was in rare form,
eliminating ]. B. Heron in the
morning round, 4 and 3. and then,
coming back in the afternoon,
knocked off Bradley Ted" Bur
rows, the medalist, 4 and 2. In
this match, both reached the turn
in SO. Harry kept up his "hot"
streak, but Ted couldn't quite
; match it and bowed on the six
teenth; when Harry got those two
prodigious wallopS, to be on in
two. He missed the eagle but got
fthe bird.
J Johnny Shorey also went along
; nicely, disposing of Luther Florine
easily in the morning, but was
carried to the eighteenth by Jack
) Biggs in the afternoon before win
