No. NET PAIR
!. STANDS OUT
IN TEST
BY GINO SINH

This years Middle Atlantlc
doubles tournament, which opens
at the Columbia Country Club
Thursday, is as wide open as the
Akron's hangar after the mighty
sausage has taken flight.
No team has rendered IN its
entry to date from any OF the
surrounding States or the DISTRICT
which can be doped as the duo
to be suppressed by the ultimate
winners or else.
With the dissolution OF Ihe
uncomfortable Tom Mangan-Boo
Considine combination. VINO nave
lorded it over Middle AtlanCiC
doubles for three years. the 1lelo
is thrown into a tumble. Twice
this team won the M. A. title.
True, Baltimore can point to ltS
two Jacobs boys, Eddie, ranked
thirteenth or so nationally ana
his kid brother, Billy, and hlnt
that they have never been neaCen
in Middle Atlantic competltlon'
and that they, too. have twice
wreathed their brow with the
M. A, doubles laurels. But these
two rarely show their wares III
M. A. circles.
Missed Few
Mangan and ConSidine missed
few tournaments in these regions
over the past three years, and al,
ways managed to be photographed
posing with a trophy held up be-
tween them Symbolizing this or
that. and even the other, cham
pionship.
Perhaps the most favored pair
sure to play is Mangan and Bud
Markey. Both are fond of the
doubles game, and have played
J together and succeeded very we'll.
Last year they took over the care
of the city of Washington doubles
trophy for a season.
If Billy and Eddie Jacobs de-
eide to quest their third victory
and gain permanent possession
of the two cups on which they
already have two legs, they will
undoubtedly rule as strong favo-
rites. But, by no means, Will
they still be odds-on choices.
If the Jacobses fail to put in
appearances, Baltimore still has
Bob Elliott and Elmer Rudy to
bank on, and Phil Golsborough
and John MCGEE, two highly re-
spected combinations, and ma
terial for additional strong two
Somes such as Alex KeileS, Eric
Jacobson. John Howard and
Crawford.
Dangerous DuOS
Tony Latona and Frank Shore
are the most ambitious of Wash
1ngton's rising doubles, but dan
gerous at all times are Bill Blu
chanan and Dooly Mitchell and
Joe Rutley and Owen HoWen-
stein, two veteran teams who
can make life miserable for many
a highly touted net combine.
Maurice O'Neill and Douglas
Love, Hugh Trigg and Gene Her
man, FREDERICK Sendel and Al
Ian Staubly, Pat Deck and Bill
Seidel, are no SloucheS on the
doubles courts. either. They all
have fine records in all kinds
of competition. Considine is
pairing with Dick Mason,
youngster.
Norfolk has two sets of
doubles who are attracting con-
siderable attention, Gil Corning
ton and Bristow and Ted Penzold
and Reed. The first named pair
forced Baltimores crack team of
Eddie Jacobs and Bob Elliott
through three furious sets before
bowling in the Hotchkiss Cup
matches. The second team also
was downed only. after a Scorch-
ing three-setter.
Richmond Strong
Richmond has Cliff Miller and
Bob Cabell, Herb Bickel and
johnson, Spicer and Smith, all
very troublesome. Cabell is the
chap who took the measure of
Dooly Mitchell III the Hotchkiss
singles.
AAC ueIeIlulIlS champions, EQQlC
YoemanS and Bud Markey, were
unable to get together in the
defense of their title, Yoemans is
studying law at Yale and is unable
to get away.
Entries for the doubles, open
to all M. A. netmen, must be
in Arthur Slater's hands at Co
1umbia before 6 o'clock tonight.
