IS WON BY
LOCALS
BY GINO SINH

Tennis is still holding its own
on the local sport stage.
Two tournaments are now in
progress and the poobahs of the
volley and lob sport are hard at
work completing details for the
annual play-off of the city's team
championship
Yesterday the most brilliant ag-
gregation of Baltimore racqueters
to appear in Washington this
season were turned back by the
best Washington public parks
can muster in the annual Aaron
Strauss Trophy series. 1t was the
Districts third straight win and
gave it permanent possession OF
the trophy The locals noSed out
the invaders, 8 to 7, taking seven
singles and one double.
The biggest thrill of the en-
counter was the stubborn battle
Dooly Mitchell, the Capitals net
idol, put up against Baltimore's
nationally ranked Eddie Jacobs.
Bob Considine also got himself
talked about, by spilling Elmer
Rudy, another Oriole "toughy." ="
Doubles Disappoint
The showing of the Capitalites
in the doubles was diSappoint-
ment. Usually Our boys show
their greatest strength and bril-
lance in the two-man game.
