FARRELL Plays Saunders.
! MOTHER contest of particular in
terest will bring together Harry
Saunders, the District titleholder, and
Temple FARRELL, University of Mary
land student, who won the District
intercollegiate title this Summer in
an Evening Star event FARRELL re-
Gently scored a clean sweep over
Saunders in the Metropolitan Singles
League, and became the second
pitcher in more than six years to
present Saunders with a coat of
whitewash. The former Westminster
College athlete and the long-legged
Old Liner are expected to be among
the leading contenders for the
Metropolitan title, which combines
the ringer throwing rule Of Maryland,
Virginia and the District.
Four players will be seeded in the
Maryland tournament. They are
Fleshman, FARRELL, Ed Kruse and Joe
Merryman, the last-named a former
State champion.
On Thursday night will begin the
Virginia tournament, with George c.
Thompson's courts at Falls Church
the scene of action Here the defend
ing champion will be Deadpan Ray
mond Frye of Orkney Springs, the
expressionless young man who was
the sensation of last years Evening
Star tournament. Unheralded, he
swept through the Virginia event,
and lasted to the final of the Metro
politan play-off, where he was con-
quered by Henson.
Washington Tourney Tough.
A REPETITION of Frye's 1884 tri-
n umph is expected in the Old
Dominion battle, but he may find the
going a lot tougher IN the Metro
politan. Every star that reached the
big event last year has improved and
some new talent has appeared, Bill
Moore being notable among the latter.
Five players each from Washington
and Maryland and six from Virginia
will make up the field in the metro
politan, these being the survivors of
State competition. The semi-finalists
will qualify and a consolation round
among the defeated quarter-flnalists
will determine the fifth place in each
group. Henson, as defending cham
pion, automatically will be qualified.
He will not compete in the Virginia
tournament.
The Washington pitchers will swing
into action a week from tomorrow and
the metropolitan play-of will fol-
low their contest.
The keenest battle for the Wash
ington title since the tournament was
inaugurated seven years ago is ex-
pected, with Saunders, Moore, Roy
Wilson, Raymond Brown and half
o dozen or more others in the thick
OF it.

= Playground Department is rushing
