WELSH MEETS
MITCHELL IN
NET CLASSIC
BY DANNY GILL

You can have your so-called
"battles of the century," but
Washington tennis bugs are Itch
ing to see but one match which
to them eclipses any pugilistic
encounter, and that's being played
today.
Yessir, Barney Welsh, the
Rockville Rocket, and Dooly
Mitchell, the Washington Wild
cat, come together in the Ward
man Park Tournament semiti-
mails and the meeting should give
us the real lowdown on what
happens when an alleged irresis-
tible force runs into a supposedly
immovable object.
The customers, however, are no
more anxious for such a match
than are the principals who come
mighty close to be a closed cor
poration wherein Washington
tennis is concerned. Ralph Nc
Elvenny, Colorado star, will likely
be taken into the firm by virtue
of his fine work in local net
events.
Virtually Unbeatable
Mitchell, when he wants to be,
is Virutlly unbeatable. Welsh,
too, has a great game as his
championships in the D. C. Public
Parks tournament, the Washing
ton Grove (Md) tourney and the
Frederick (Md.) tournament at
test. He beat Mitchell in q
tennis league match.
Mitchellites say a league match
is not a singles tournament and
Welsh followers stick to the
theory that a victory is a victory.
Today should find the solution
to their arguments.
According to none other than
the elder Welsh, who doesn't fol-
low every sport, but who really
has a thorough knowledge Of
those which capture his fancy,
Babe" hasn't been playing up
to snuff so far.
Watched Mitchell
He has watched Mitchell, too,
and thinks that the Wardmau
champions game needs renoviz-
ing, but figures that this match
will be the best of the tourna-
ment and that both men will
perk up when they see who's
peering across the net.
The Ralph McElvanny-Gene
Hermann match will also bear
watching as a semifinal classic.
McElvenny, who romped through
the Government Employees Tennis
Tournament without the loss Of
a set and helped to win the dou-
bles title in that tournament, only
to succumb to Welsh in the finals
at Washington Grove, is finding
the going a little more difficult
but still manages to come out on
top. He had a real scrap with
hickey Willis, finally winning,
10-8 and 8-6.
Hermann the Wrecker
Hermann, on the other hand,
has not been winning so many
titles but occupies much the same
position as some baseball and
football teams do in running the
ambitions of several Would-be
finalists. He did that thing no
later than Monday when he
eliminated Hy Ritzenberg after
Hy had shown unusual strength
in defeating Tom Mangan in an
upset. He put Don CARRIER out
of the running yesterday, 60,
Ga, while Mitchell was trimming
Lawrence Sherry, Ga, GA.
Mrs. Ruth Martinez, the school
teacher who could give tennis les
sons to most of the fair sex, won
herself another title yesterday
when she emerged victor in her
match with Frances Grimes, 6-1,
Ga.

bursting into a run. Hey! Wait minute!

himself by saying.
She wasn't crying now; her eyes snapped.

Eyes, you were! Well, don't do 1t again"
"Iu do it If like. What right have you,
I'd like to know, to follow me around for
hours and hours, creeping up on me like

Hours and hours? He had strolled up and
down q good part of that Saturday afternoon,
but If he'd noticed the girl in yellow until
few moments ago it had been subconsciously.
His mind was on that contract.
DETER whirled on his heel. What boob

swim to the Statue of Liberty for all he cared
the cute little trick! What was eating her
anyway? He'd have given anything to know.
Oh, WELL what If she did leap over, along
about dusk? Things like that were common
enough in New York, and one more dame or
less by thunder! There's piece of para
pet I didn't reckon in!"
Peter Durant walked rapidly toward the far
end of the bridge. Not once did he turn around
after he remembered the thing he'd left out
of his former estimate, SO he did not see that
now the girl in yellow was following him.
Clickety-c click, her small heels beat brisk
tattoo. Then she stepped more briskly, dodg-
ing pedestrians, who were thinning out now

she saw Peter had halted abruptly. Was he
climbing over the rail?
Great snakes! Hey!" The heels fairly flew.
"Wait minute!'
DY the time the girl in yellow reached Peter

to the low rail of the bridge while his feet felt
for the top of the under supports. In fash
she seized his hands and screamed, Help!

Can you cook, Iila?"
She smiled confidingly.

Incredible that a girl with trusting eyes ike
hers could be so ickle. To hear her, any one
would think he had right to ask her-to ask
her-to cook his steaks all her life. The nem-

Gee she'd make some guy a fine wife to

But on the way to his Office in the
