Failure OF District netmen to rise to

n of a slow, pleasant drawl,
known to his intimate
friends as Babe"
That's Barney Welsh, the new
Public Parks singles champion.
He has completed three years
at Duke University, playing on
the varsity net squad three sea-
sons and is captain ELECT for
next year. On obtaining his de-
gree at Duke, he plans to enter a
university in Washington, possibly
George Washington, with the an
nounced intention of becoming a
doctor of laws.
Barney's game has improved almost
miraculously during the past season.
Barely ranked in the Districts first 10
during the 1882 season, he hit his stride
while playing at Duke, carrying Wilmer
Hines, North Carolina ace and winner
Of many Southern tournaments. to
match point on three different occa-
sions. In one instance the match
hinged on an overhead smash, which
Welsh netted.
Barney is modest to an extreme. His
mother smilingly relates finding two of
his cups, laden with dust, buried in
neglected corner of the basement.
Both his father and mother
are tennis enthusiasts, Mrs. Welsh
accompanying him on his recent
trip to Baltimore. where he COM
peted in the Maryland State
championships, losing to Eddie
Jacobs in the semi finals. The
senior Welsh invariably occupies
vantage point at his sons
matches, criticizing Barney's
stroking with a coldIy apprais-
ing eye.
With comparable improvement in his
play during the coming season Barney
is an odds-on choice to go places in
the realm of whizzing rackets.

r 5.-Blond Helen Jacobs, the
L sturdy Californian who holds
the national tennis cham
pionship, came to the rescue OF
the American Junior varsity to-
day and scored the decisive VIC
tory in the Wightman Cup match
es after Great Britain's girl chal-
lengers in a spirited comeback
failed by only points to sweep
the final days play.
Previously close to defeat twice az
she trailed by 3-5 in the third set and
found herself once again in the grip OF
the British rally, Miss Jacobs staged q
superb finish to capture four straight
games and beat her left-handed English
rival, Margaret peggy Scriven, ST,
SO. IS.
This was the only American victory
in the concluding four matches, but
it was the fourth in two days play and
clinched the series in favor of the
United States by the narrow margin Of
to g. 1t was the third consecutive
cup triumph for the Americans and
their seventh altogether since the cup
was put into competition in 1928
In the absence of Helen Wills Moody,
the American captain, who because of
illness failed to take part for the first
time in seven years, her California rival
emerged as the outstanding heroine of
notable victory for the countrys
youthful tennis talent. Miss Jacobs
figured in three Of the four triumphs
for the defenders, including one doubles
and two singles matches.

Famous COlOratura S0pra- no in Community Con=
 cert Series

In returning to this country for a coast to coast concert tour, in the course of which she sings here on Thursday evening, March 30, at Waterbury's Women's club, Maria Kurenko returns to a land which, from Maine to California. has shown in every way its affection and admiration for the Russian nightingale"
 The following critical highlights are culled from the sopranos last American concert tour.
 New York Evening Post:
 "Kurenko sang enchantingly. Her voice scars like @ lark, but has a witchery beyond the throat of bird. She proved herself a rare delight, singing with lovely, flow ing notes, clear as a bell. She made each song distinct and dramatic thing |. She brought out the ten der meanings of the phrases. she made the light fancies of the songs as fresh as some secret garden drenched with dew. Before her singing all anti-soprano outcriers are turned into praise"
 New York Times:
 She sang with crystalline tones." New York World-Telegram:
 ''The concert was brilliant suc- cess. Kurenko scored heavily with the large gathering in each and all of her many contributions of scin- tillant song Two songs were sung from manuscript and for the first time, Gretchaninoff Polka and Vocalise Orientale by Wein- berger. Soon many will sing them. no doubt. but none so well as Kurenko."
 New York Telegraph:
 "Her timbre is limpid, delicate, and yet at the same time vibrant and vital. Each note which springs from her throat comes eagerly, searching and pleading"

 The indications point to a big gathering of crack players Thurs day evening. and in this as all other contests of the kind much interest is centered in the teams that will carry off the honors. Of course, already there are those who claim to know the winners. but it would pay to be too sure about that. It is believed that there will be many women com petitors who are likely to prove more than a match for the men.
