tunity Of saying Fifty Of the city's
best players" are entered. They are
the same who help swell the entry
list to "record-breaking" proportions
Most Of these boys have been play
ing tennis here for years, many OF
them college graduates who started
to play before they entered high
school. Some still are in high school
Others who may enter probably never
saw their name in any larger type
than that very small agate which
reads: Welsh defeated Notsogood
60, Co."
You've seen them all, If you've fol-
lowed many tournaments from their
beginning. Probably you've never
known their names because there's
never been an occasion to run their
pictures unless they'd been made OBJ
jects of q feature story by some
writer. But you'll be seeing them
come next Saturday, for about q
week.
Moses led the Israelites from the
Wilderness; Washington led the CO.
lonials from oppression, and now
comes Suttenfield leading the ALSO
rams" from obscurity.
/ OUIS I. DOYLE, president Of the
Washington L. T. A.. attributes
Wilmer Allison's three defeats at the
hands Of the English directly to his
staleness as a result of a months
steady driving play. He says no
player can keep up such pace. He's
telling Barney Welsh?
Speaking Of Welsh brings up the
fact that so far the Districts best
has not received a bid to one Of the
many major invitation tournaments
just in the oflng. Barney's more
than anxious to play in all he can
in his quest for a national ranking.
but seemingly must content himself
with those similar to the one he's in
at Hagerstown this week. With
Lawrence T. Baker, secretary Of the
U. S. L. T. A. right here in the city,
1t seems like those invitations ought to
be pouring in on the Rockvillian who
likes to ramble. How about it, Mr..
Baker, can't you fix it up?
COUNTRY CLUB, here
we come!" is the song Of five Of
Washington's foremost players, and
what a gap will be left in the public
ranks next year. when Barney Welsh,
Dooly Mitchell, Ralph McElvenny,
Hugh Lynch and Bill Buchanan be-
come af1iliated with the Connecticut
avenue estate, as they now plan. The
best team in their history does not
seem too bright an outlook for those
belonging to Columbia.
