AfCNY MAHCa To-Day KNOWS
just how Helen Jacobs must
have felt. In fact, Harry
L L thinks the losing Helen
might feel somewhat better if she
were fully acquainted with the facts
of a quarter final match he played in
the Blue Ridge Mountain Tourna-
ment at Frederick yesterday.
Harry is certain Miss Jacobs must
have suffered plenty after losing the
match point that would have given
her q glorious victory over her most
bitter rival, but March is convinced
that his illustrious feminine con-
temporarily would be somewhat con-
soled if she could but know that a
former boys" champion of the Dis
trict tossed away IL opportunities to
take match with the winning of but
single point.
No less than a dozen times at the
Catoctin Country Club yesterday
Lloyd Rice of Georgetown Prep saw
elimination reckoning him to the side
lines after the next point was played
against March. But after the match
Rice's theme song seemed to have
been mo. No, Dozen Times MOI"
for on each occasion he rallied to
turn back the tall Tech High captain.
Observers claimed it one of the
best and longest matches ever played
in Frederick. Rice reached the quarter
finals in uphill fight against March,
winning Ga, 12-10, after dropping
the first set, 2-6.
OTHER District boys Jared better
" than young March, however.
Allie Ritzenberg, who was deprived of
the junior championship this year
only because Big Brother Nate thought
it would be safer in his possession.
avenged Frederick's victory over
Washington in the other quarter-final
by defeating William Koontz of that
city in straight sets, 6-1, SIS.
And Charley Charming of Central
High, batted his way to victory over
another Frederick boy, Max McCar-
dell, to the tune of 6-1, 6|4.
So Washington's hopes are not ex-
actly dead. Both Ritzenberg and
Charming have bright future ahead
in the tennis world and a victory in
a tournament of this kind is not be-
yond their reach. They are the lead
ing local netmen left.
There are two others whose home
is listed as Washington in the sum-
maries and maybe it's our fault that
we'd never seen Harold Landsman and
Paul Faloner in action here. Al
though they never have been partic-
ularly successful in local tournaments,
they're still winning at Frederick,
Yesterday Landsnan trimmed another
unknown Washington boy, Harry NC
Ginness, 60, 6-3, while Faloner
took Trago Brust of Frederick with
the loss Of but two games in as many
sets.
over at Annapolis yesterday two
teams gave each other practice
for impending important matches for
both concerned. A Washington team
got the workout it desired and
Navy team got the opposition. AL of
which Is to say that a combination of
local star netmen went over to the
Academy to lick the Navy Leech Cup
team aspirants out of IL matches,
Barney Welsh & Co. started yester-
day to get in their lickS for the return
match with Philadelphia next Sunday
while the Navy racketers are popping
for the Leech Cup matches with the
Army here week from Saturday.
Washington's only loss in the singles
occurred when Frank Shore of Moth
China University, sub, was defeated by
Gay of the Navy in two overtime sets,
Is, 8-6. The Middies managed to
split even in the four doubles matches,
however. That championship team of
Welsh and McElvenny had no trouble
with Lieuts. McCue and Dole winning
60, IS and the Tarheel teammates,
Shore and Willis, licked Howard and
Lyman, e6, IS, but Tony Latona
and Tom Markey were trimmed in the
deciding set Of Q match with Gay and
