Local tennis boosters are proud
of the achievements of their
itinerant club netmen.
Yesterday our boys turned in
two superb victories on widely
separated fronts.
Barney Welsh, our champ, who
recently annexed the city of Wash
ington singles crown in real cham
pionship style, contributed the
most spine-tingling performance
of local player of the past five
years when he crushed - yes,
crushed-J. Gilbert Hall, of Or.
ange, N. j., who less than three
years ago was considered as Davis
Cup material.
Barney let the nationally famed
star down by the unbelievable
one-sided score of 6-1, 60, and
thereby gained the finals of the
New England tennis tournament,
facing William Reese, of Atlanta,
for the title today, at West Hart
ford, Conn.
Down in Norfolk, the local
Hotchkiss Cup team flashed as
amazingly when it swept its
strongest rival, Baltimore, in all
eight matches played to advance
to the finals against Norfolk to-
day.
None of the matches went to
three sets and only hickey Willis
had any kind of an argument in
the singles when Hebner deuced
the first set twice before losing,
Is, 60. Scores:

All of which proves that the
recent shift of the local tennis
"big shots" from public parks to
Edgemoor Tennis Club was just
what the city needed to lift it's
tennis out of the doldrumS and
humdrum of mediocrity.
Sara Moore, comely defending
City of Washington champion,
had to give way to the superior
game of the tournament favorite,
Edith Clarke, in the semifinals, at
Edgemoor Club yesterday, but she
fought back bitterly, bowling,
6-3, As, 6-4.
Mary CooCeS ana Mrs. Margaret
Robinson clash today for the
right to face Miss Clarke in the
title-round tomorrow at II a. m.
at Edgemoor. Miss Cootes is .
slight favorite.
