Sunday, September 20. the
Aaron Strauss Cup matches, a
major intercity feud between a
picked team of District public
park netmen and one from Balti-
more, will be played at Potomac
Park.
Much Interest
Though this will be only the
second year for the Strauss Cup,
the matches are attracting wide
spread interest and are the cause
Of considerable jawing both here
and in the city of the Orioles.
The BaItimOreans, stung by
many defeats by Washing
tOnians. are out to collect the
strongest possible cOmbina-
ton so that they can humble
their rivals of long standing.
It is rumored that the invaders
will have Eddie Jacobs, twelfth
ranking player of the United
States, and the favorite to win
the Wardman Park event
Despite the great prominence
which Jacobs has received, he is
still a public parker, and may be
inveigled to pit himself against
the best Washington can offer.
Billy Jacobs, Eddie's younger
brother and a star in his own
rights, is sure to come if Eddie
comes. and is likely to be in the
opposing lineup even should his
brilliant brother be missing.
Elmer Rudy, Baltimore's pres
ent public parks champion; Alex
Keiles, last year title holder, and
one of the toughest players for
WashingtonianS. the Oyster-shuck
ers boast, and Louis Kurland, will
give the Baltimoreans plenty of
old-fashioned sock.
YeOmans, Markey Here
Other leading aces from the
Monumental City are Edward La
Fleur, Philip L. Goldsborough, jr.,
Eric Jacobsen, Shapiro, and
Beaker.
However, the Washington
officials are not overwhelmed
with fears. 1t is certain that
both Eddie YeOmans and Tom
MarkeY will be here for the
matches.
Both will be right on their toes,
tingling for action, and both do
their best against stiff opposition.
Then, there is Dooly Mitchell.
Frank Shore and Tony Latona.
In fact, Washingtonians will
be pulling for the Baltimoreans
to bring down Eddie Jacobs, for
he would likely draw Yeomans
as an opponent. If this should
happen, local fanatics would be
regaled with the best tennis Of
fered them since Hector expert
enced growing pains.
The series calls for nine singles |
and six doubles. Last year the
locals had to step around plenty
to win eight matches to seven.
Next week the Capital City
Tennis League will try to catch
up as many postponed matches as
possible, and thus settle the ques-
tion Of supremacy between Po-
tomac, Henry and Montrose. Po-
tomac is leading the league by a
few games, but has been faltering
badly of late. Henry and Mont
rose have been going great guns |
the last month or so, and both
have postponed matches with Po-
tomac, Montrose having 18 Of 'em. |
