Gives Good Start.

It also seems most probably that
this years women's tennis will be
enlvened by a return to competition
in American tournaments of our for
mer champion and present British
champion, Mrs Helen Wills Moody
and that our championships will be
climaxed by another epochal match
between Mrs Moody and our present
champion, Miss Helen Jacobs, which
will be of immense public interest
since these two outstanding Ameri-
can players are now bracketed at the
top of the women's tennis world.
While our mems Davis Cup team
faltered last year in the challenge
round against England and was
beaten, it should not be overlooked
that they won the interzone maj
against Germany, winner of the Euro
mean zone, and that there are sig
nificant elements Of encouragement
In the result of our American cham
pionship later in the season, when, Tor
the first time in three years an

n YEW YORK, January 81 be-
lieve We can look ahead to the
" tennis season of 1885 with
a assurance of most satiSfac-
tory year. There has been ample evi-
dence of the continued growth Of
public interest in the game, not only
from the standpoint of attendance ct
our tournaments and championships.
but what is more important, the con-
slant increase in the amount OF play
at our clubs, public parks and private
courses.
This increased public interest will
add to the attraction of the 1886
season, which already can be seen
to have elements of new favor, at
least by comparison with recent years.
Gives Good Start.
OUR American zone of the Davis
Cup competition will in 1886 re-
ceive renewed stimulus and zest from
the Australian challenge in this zone,
which insures high quality OF COM
petitive sport right from the start
Of the season.

r. ANTASTIC as it may sound to
- We average professional fight
fan. what with local boxing as
L rnildeUed as it now is those

- We average professional fight
fan. what with local boxing as
n mildewed as it now is, those
tenants of Tin Ear alley who really
get around today are ready to NOM
mate a diminutive Moses capable of
leading Washington's pro game from
the wilderness.
His name is Lou GevinSon.
Lou is a sharp-faced Jewish boy
from Southwest. He is unknown to
Turner's Arena patrons. He is. rather,
OF that army of strange boys and men
who glory in punching beaks for the
glory of punching beaks. In brief, he
is an amateur.
You've probably heard the name now
for about five years. Lou has been
peddling his flstic wares in local club
rings since he was 16 and he is 81
years old now. He has won District
titles at l12. ll8 and 126 pounds and
often fights in national tournaments.
Outside of that, what? Plenty. ac-
cording to those who last night
watched Gevinson add another terri
tory to his mythical featherweight
domain by whipping j. P. Morgan,
126-pound ruler Of Virginia, in the
feature of the Capitals first 1896
amateur show in the National Guard
Armory.
To Try 10. Olympics.
GEV1NSON, brought along carefully
since the day he first laced on a
glove under Matt Twomey's eye, is
ready for number of things accord
ing to the whisperings of Caulifower
alley. For one thing Lou is ready to
drag down Washington's first national
championship. That would be the
l26-pound championship of the A. A.
U. when the nationals are held late
next month in Chicago.
Next, after defending his District
Golden Gloves championship early in
March, Gevinson will be a candidate
for the American Olympic boxing
team when the tryouts are held March
81 and % at Charlottesville. Va. This
is within handy reach, yodel the
Gevinson supporters.
End finally, with equal conviction,
the Capitals amateur boxing colony
looks for Gevinson to pull the Moses
act in the pro game. Regardless OF
whether he wins in the nationals or
makes the Olympic team, sometime
this year Lou will turn pro.
Nearly Kayoes Salica.
A SIMILAR cry of wolf has sounded
before in this baliwick. Eight or
nine years ago Marty Gallagher, then
ganglslg light-heavyweight, emerged
from Foggy Bottom and the amateurs
He promptly was painted as a future
heavyweight contender.
But the Gallagher experience, II
anything, has only served to heighten
the enthusiasm over Gevinson. The
featherweight, it is pointed out, pos
sesses much of what Marty lacked
Gevinson probably is the most pol
ished local amateur in years and he
packs terrific punch. The only thing
Gallagher and Gevinson have in COM
mon is heart.

RING0 QUITS SCHOOL POST
MAYOR TENEROWICZ
APPOINTS RINGO
Gets Highest Pest Ever Held BY
Hamtramck Negro

Clarence c. Ringo, who has been
the head electrician in the school
system of Hamtramck, resigned
from that post last week to accept
the appointment of electrical COM
missioner for the City of Ham
tramck. This position was given to
him last week by Mayor Rudolph
G. Tenerowicz. Not since the time
that DR.. ]. L. Henderson was a
councilman has a Negro held such
a high position in the city.
Mayor Tenerowicz's announce
ment that he had named Ringo,
came as a complete surprise to the
many people who had been on the
inside circles of the Tenerowicz
administration. Ringo has never
taken any active part in the poll
tical campaigns of the city, and the
mayor did not make it one of his
promises to name a member of the
race to the position. Ringo said he
uiu AoI hhOW VI HIS SSlSSlloh W
the post until after the election.
Ringo's resignation from the
school job leaves the colored peo-
pie without any representation in
that body. 1t is doubtful, unless the
election of Mrs. Sarah Vaughn to
a place on the school board be-
comes a reality, as to whether
Ringo will be replaced by mem
Der of the race.
The electrician job in the schools
was for life, but the city job which
is still political plum and not I'M
der civil service is subject to
change every two years.
