TAKES 8 SETS
FROM RALPH
M'ELVENNY
BY DAN GILL

There are champions and there
are great champions.
Rockville's Barney welsh, jr.,
who defeated Ralph McElvenny
In yesterdays final round Of the
District tennis tournament, 8-6,
Ga, 13 belongs definitely to
the latter group.
His winning Of the title was no
mere accident as no player in the
A years Of the tournament has
ever deserved the crown more than
the quiet, smiling Duke Univer-
Sity star. Figures show that Bar
ney was the class Of a strong field.
Wins Ten Straight
All he did was play 10 matches,
six singles, four doubles, without
the loss Of q set. Thirteen sets
were played by the new champion
in singles, and he and Bud Markey
won all nine Of their doubles sets.
His first engagement in singles
brought him into action against
Pat Deck, who was one of the
seeded players in the recent City
Of washington Tournament and
who had just beaten him in a
league match few days before
the District. Barney limited him
to two games and won, 60, 60.
WelSh Downs G. w. Ace
His next opponent was Allen
Staubly, George Washington Uni
verSity luminary. Welsh won
60, IS. In the third round he
met Herbert Shenkin, formerly of
Philadelphia. Shenkin, q big man,
had tremndous power in his drives
and took Barney to IS in the
first set but Welsh put on the
brakes and stopped him at 60
in the next setto.
Next in line was Tony Latona.
who some thought capable Of halt
ing the Rockville youth. Latona
fell, 6-S, 60. Tom Mangan,
who played good tennis through
out the tournament, bowed in the
Uemifinal, 81, Ga.
Yesterday McElvenny, after
seeing Welsh get off to q 80
lead; won the next five games,
but Welsh showed his champion.
ship qualities by coming through
Just when it appeared as though
the set had slipped through his
hands.
The second set also saw him 20
into . lead, fall into a tie at 4-4
and then annex the last two
games for q Ga win while the
last set found McElvenny ahead
S-2, only to have Welsh win the
next four games, to take the
match.
McElvenny proved a great con-
lender and would likely have won
the title had he faced onyone but
the Welsh OF the District Tourna-
n1ent.
In doubles, Barney and Bud
Markey ran the. same sort Of
course as Barney Travelled in
tlngleS.
They met Nelson Spottswood
and Ed Baker OF Edgemo0r, In the
first round and won, Ga, 6-1.
Next they won from Pat Deck
and Maurice O'Neill, 6-2, 81,
while Tom MGngan and Dooly
Mitchell went down in the semi
final, IS, GO.
Defeat Rivals
In the final they met Tony La
Iona and Axel Craven, who had
annexed the City Of washington
doubles crown but a week before
and won 6-3, &6, 81. Latona
and Craven had them 40 in the
second set and Al and So in
the last set but the welsh magic
touch combined with Markey's
skinfu1 play triumphed.
Welsh'S dynamic service, scorch-
ing drives, well-directed place
mentS and heady all-around play
featured the tourney.

PRODUCTION AT GLACIER
MINE TO BE INCREASED

That production at the Glacier mine
south of Libby is to be materially in
creased was stated by Samuel B. Hol-
bert, consulting engineer, in an inter-
view given to the Spokane Spokesman
Review last Thursday.
New slopes are being opened above
the mill level and hoist is being in
stalled SO that Stopping may be done on
the No. 5 shaft level, which was stopped
by caving during the storm of last De-
cember,' said Mr.. Holbert. This will
enable us to operate the mill on a two
shift basis instead of one. Increase Of
the quantity of ore delivered to the
mill will be started soon.
Skilled in handling large tonnages,
Superintendent Lee, formerly of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan, is putting the
mine in condition rapidly for the in
creased production"

RumOr Promises Much
Road Work This Year

That there will be extensive high
way work in this section later in the
season is the gist of unconfirmed re-
ports reaching Libby during the past
week While the reports a e not official.
they are, nevertheless, backed by con-
siderable authority.
One of these reports is to the effect
that contract will be let the latter
part of this month for a highway prof.
ect extending IL miles south of Libby
on highway No. q Included in this prof.
ect would be improvement of Mineral
avenue in Libby. Another one is that
before Contractor Sam Orino is through
with the present Kootenai Falls project.
contract will be awarded for improve
ment of the short stretch between the
present completed highway west of
Libby and the one now under construc-
ton by Orino.
Some of this activity, it is said. is
contingent on an appropriation by con-
gress for highway work, which seems
assured.
