|MARKEY UPSET
BY N ELvENNY
FOR I'd TIME
Tennis is a funny thing.

Tennis is a funny thing.
Dooly Mitchell has taken the
measure Of Ralph McElvenny
every time they met. Bud Markey
is the only local man to have de-
feated Mitchell in tournament
play since 1881 when he also
downed him.
Elvenny, who could do
nothing against Mitchell, appar-
emily has the Indian Sign on
Marley. Yesterday McElvenny
used Markey as a stepping stone
in his path to the finals Of the
District tournament Just as he did
in the City of Washington semi.
finals. The scores were IS, 60.
Faces Welsh
This time, instead Of meeting
Mitchell for the title as he did
in the City of Washington, the
Stanford ace will run into Barney
Welsh, who eliminated Tom Man
gan, 81, Ga.
McElvenny played heady tennis

slightly-built Markey who looked
fatigued before the hard-fought
match ended.
Welsh proved too good for Man
gan. Besides a fine assortment Of
ground strokes, Welsh, who had
been called the class of the tourney
by some persons after seeing him
play his first round match, had
youth and speed on his side.
Service Clicks
Welsh's service was clicking to
perfection and the former Duke
star looked like sure winner as
early as the third game.
He and McElvenny will meet on
July 4 in a bang-up finale for the
1884 District singles.

This season the New York
Yankees will be the club on top
unless something unforeseen &C.
curs-which fact should halt all
questions Of who will be who next
September when the schedule is
an event of the past.
But President Clark Griffith
had something to say on this sub
ject today which is interesting to
say the least. Listen to Griff:
"It'S true we won't be in first
place ON this July Fourth, but
MI that business about the
team winning after being on
top on that date is tOmmyrOt.
I'll admit we won last year
after being in front, as have
several other teams in past
years, but it's just happened
that way, that's all. I've known
other times when a club fur
ther down in the race has
played great hall in the final
months of the season to finish
on top at the end. Our 1925
team entered this feat in the
rec0rds and there's no reason
Wy tbs 1884 entry can't do 1t.
It's D6d enough"
Wei, thereIl probably be many
an argument about this.
Maybe Good Enough
Many may believe the Griff'
are good enough to get going II
the stretch while others may al
ready have it dead set in thell
minds that Manager Joe Cronin'!
harried entry is no longer
powerful pennant contender.
Whatever the opinion, the pos
Sibilities are still there for al
old-time 9ariff squirt, come thu
future. With the race as cloS'
as it is, anything can happen

Old Folks Tale
"A Racing Yarn
Began in Saratoga

NEW YORK, July 2.-This
IS "Old Folks" story and I am
going to let him tell 1t to you
in his own words.
You will not hear anybody
asking "Old Folks" for any in
formation on the races, though.
Not II they know him. "Old
Folks" is not a tout. And mostly
he does his talking in little
words Of one syllable.
So I am surprised one day
when we are sitting off in a
corner Of the grand stand at
Saratoga, waiting for a highly
bunch Of two-year-olds to Scram-
bic through the last heat and
end the agony for the bridge
jumpers, to have him hand me
the paper he is reading and
say:
"See that?"
He is pointing to a little
three or four line filler down
at the bottom of the page that
reads about like this:
London, Aug. 1S.-It was
learned here today that the
Duchess of This and That has
taken up residence in Paris for
the purpose Of securing q d.
vorce. Before her marriage to
the Duke Of This and That, in
1919, the Duchess was Miss
Mary Martin, Of Atlanta, Ga"
At first I think he is point
ing to the wrong paragraph,
because I can't imagine "Old
Folks" being interested in the
Duchess of This and That, al
though I know that he is &C
Quainted with plenty Of folks
in all walks of life all over the
world.
"And do you see that2" says
Old Folks.
This one read:
''WAYSIDE, w. Va, Aug. Is.
Jockey Mickey Mcqueen was
killed at the half-mile Crescent
Park race track near here yes
terday, when his mount crashed
into the rail while suffering an
attack Of blind Staggers.

those two pieces in the paper,
would you?" continued Old
Folks, as I handed him back
the sheet.

Neither would anybody else,"
he went on, "but they are .

English duchess and q jockey

the Duchess This and That
which keeps this Baby Face
MCQUEEN from being another
Sande or McAtee or LOftus?"
"Well it could be SO" / admit.
"It all started right over
there" went on "Old Folks"
pointing across the backstretch
to where you could see the
barns set down among the
trees. ut must have been two
years after the war that I
come up here in July with q
