Young johnson Wins.
EQUALLING the feat of Robinson,
although he played but one match,
was little David johnson, 15-year-old
boy champion of the District, who
showed courage and class in whipping
the veteran Deane Judd in straight
sets, IS, "a. johnson goes against
Harry Goldsmith, another man almost
old enough to be his father, in sec
ond-round match today.
The third surprise" victory of the
day was turned in by Ted Pierce. cap
tain of George Washington Univer-
sity's net team, who eliminated the
founder of the City of Washington
tournament, Bob Newby, in three
hard sets. After dropping the open
ing encounter, 6-8, Pierce rallied to
trim Newby, 6-1, 6-3.
But the real sensation of the early
matches, nearly bringing with it the
first major casualty of the tourna-
ment, came when young Tom Moor
head of the Chevy Chase Club battled
Welsh on even terms for more than
an hour, bowling to the Districts rank
ing racketer only after three sets.
Moorhead, playing supremely steady
for the first two sets, tied the cham
pion at one-all when he won, 6-3,
after losing the first encounter, 60.
So hard were the combatants playing,
that new balls were called for before
the deciding set, the originals being
almost cut to shreds by the fierce
stroking.
Mangan Still Good.
TOM MANGAN, the veteran who
- was playing in the eighth annual
renewal of the tournament whose
first he won in 1929, came through
with victories over far-from-easy foes.
beating Chester Lane, 6-1, 60 and
Larry Phillips, 81, 6-1. Mangan's
next opponent will be Wilbur Lang
try, who defeated Herold Marting
with the loss of but one game.
Doubles competition, featuring 81
teams, opens today with the familiar
alliances OF Welsh and Ralph McEl-
venny and Mitchell and Markey head
ing the list. A congressional note will
be injected into the team play with
Representative Jennings Randolph,
erstwhile college athlete from West
Virginia, having signed to play with
Tony Latona, ranking singles player.
