tennis Director
Explains Row

Miss Dorothy Kelso, playground
activities ector, who's e
scheduled match with Miss Clara
Tabler was defaulted to Miss
Tabler Monday by Arturo Tomel'
don. director of the Government
Employees tennis tournament, was
not defaulted for showing up late
Monday, but for refusing to play
the match.
This was the explanation of
Mr.. Tomledon today following
the row which sprung up among
tennis fans as an aftermath of
the match set for Sunday in
. which Miss Kelso claimed q de.
. fault.
Miss Kelso was at the court at
scheduled time, ready to play
Miss Tabler and waited more
than an hour after which she
claimed a default. Mr.. Tomel-
don rescheduled the match for
Monday, saying Miss Tabler
! thought the courts would be un.
> playable Sunday because of Sat.
UrQay n1gnCS rain.
i Miss Kelso appeared Monday to
play Miss Ryan in the final round
and refused to meet Miss Tabler,
saying she should have a default
from her according to tournament
rules.
Tournament rules of the Lawn
Tennis Association are not govern
ing this tourney, Mr.. Tomeldon
says. Instead, the event is being
run to suit the convenience of the
players. If defaults were given
with reckless abandon, he claims,
tournaments would fail in Wash.
ington.
Men won't take defaults like
this, he pointed out. Alan Staub,
ley was due to play a newcomer,
Heacock, and Heacock didn't show
up. Staubley refused a default
and played him next day.
It's no easy job running a tour,
fament, Mr.. Tomeldon declares.
and adds that he doesn't blame
Miss Kelso for sticking up for
what she believes are her rights.
He is willing and ready to assume
full blame, if any, for his decision
in the default.

CLEVELAND PARK:
In an exclusive residential Sec

delightful double rooms, very at
tractively furnished, both of
them having double exposure.
In the basement there is a rec
reation room fitted up with a
bar, card tables and comfortable
chairs, where many pleasant
hours could be spent. This
would be an ideal home for
. young men, and in view Of the
nearness to Connecticut Avenue,
I can recommend it very highly.
HARVARD STREET:
Up in Mt. Pleasant, in a very
lovely guest house, there are a
couple of rooms available at this
time. One is a double room on
the front of the house, furnished
in a color scheme of blue; has

Myer not only went into the lead
in the batting race, but his alert
ness made the game safe for
Earl Whitehill in the tenth in
ming. After Walker singled, Cliff
ton sacrificed, Travis to Myer.
Walker was safe at second, but he
didn't slide. Instead he overran
the base.
Quick as a cat Myer threw to
Kress and Walker was cut down
in a double play. Buddy capital
lied on the stupid base running
of Walker, who is remarkable for
his antics on the paths. Along
side of the Tiger fielder, the
famous John Anderson was an
erudite citizen.
Powell came in fast to make a
fine catch of Fox's short fly in
the opening frame. It was his
only chance but good one.
Cecil Travis looked like a real
third baseman yesterday. He was
over that hot corner like tent
is over a circus, snatching every
thing that came his way. He had
II chances, which is two shy OF
the record shares by seven
players, the most modern of whom
is Tony Cuccinello, Of the Brook

Travis Makes 10 Assists
Travis made 10 assists, which is
one short of the all-time record,
but it still is the outstanding
performance for third baSemen
since Harry Wolverton, then with
the Phillies who made 10 assists
in 1903, just 10 years before Cecil
Travis saw the light of day. Or

Regardless OF a maCCer OF d
year or two, it was a fine per-
Torrance for the soft-spoken
Georgian, who seemed to thrive
in the cool weather. Travis broke
quickly on every ball hit to him.
It was by all means the finest
game this agent has ever seen
him play. His two hits topped
off the afternoon.
