to every boy who is interested.
U. S. L. ?. A. Lists Purpose
Its purpose is set down in black
and white by the U. S. L. T. A.
and not by local authorities, and
that purpose is Ito provide coach
ing and expert supervision for a
few outstanding and promising
young players who appear to have
real possibilities for future Davis

High schools must realize that
it is strictly up to the high
schools, themselves, to provide ex-
pert coaching and playing facili-
ties for their squads. It is not up
to the clubs of the city or the
Junior Davis Cup committee.
Quite naturally, the Junior
Davis Cup committee is deeply in
terested in all youngsters who are
ambitious to improve their tennis
and will cooperate with high
school authorities in every way

Seek Rivals

Two teams at Lorton, Va, are
going great guns on the baseball
diamond this year. They are the
Blues and the Browns.
The Blues defeated the st. An
thongs Church Nine last Satur-
day, 8 to 2, with Herring and Cole
forming the battery. The Browns
triumphed over the Cardinals,
also of Washington, in a 11-to7
clash.
E. j. WEIGH, deputy superinten-
ent, is handling the schedule for
the Blues at National 5000, branch
$50. They want a game for
Sunday.
For games with the Browns,
who still have several open dates,
address Box 25, Lorton, Va. The
Browns will play either white or
colored teams.
The Blues lineup, which is
vastly improved over 1896, COM
prises besides Herring and Cole,
Baker at short; Wines, in center;
Bonneville at third; Jones in left;
Gunter at second; Lewis in right
and Fitzpatrick on first. This
team plays unlimited ball.

The time element, financial
limitations and local court facili-
ties available to the Junior Davis
Cup committee make it utterly i'm
possible for the committee to han
die more than Is youngsters, and
this Is cannot be continued with
the tryout group much longer
than another month before the
committee will be forced to cut
down to two groups of six players
each.
BY July 4, whether the commit
tee likes to do it or not, it will be
forced to cut the junior tryout
squad to eight players. There is
a financial reason behind this.
The committee must look ahead
and must conserve its finances,
for the committee must Cd fl

A||-Arnny Test
To be Held
June 20
BY HARRY COSTELLO

It is entirely possible-indeed,
probable-that several players Of
the Army, who will be in Wash
ington to compete in the 1887 ALL
Army tennis championships, June
20 to June 81, at the Army-Navy
Country Club, will enter the
Times-Hearst tournament which
will be played on the courts Of
Potomac and Rock Creek Parks,
June IL to June 20.
On the occasion Of the ALI
Army championships at the Army
Navy Country Club, four tourna'
ments will be run concurrently:
The All-Army singles (open); the
All-Army doubles (players paired
by tournament committed; t h e
All-Army Veterans singles (open
to all of 48 years or over), and
the AIl-Arny Veterans doubles.
Incidentally, the Army-Navy
Leech Cup matches are scheduled
for Saturday, July 10, at tn e
Army-Navy Country Club.
These matches, comprising four
singles and three doubles, were
initiated by the action of tn e
Hon. Dwight C. Davis, then Sec.
rotary of War, in 1924. These
events are sponsored by the U. S.
L. T. A. and derive their name
from Mr.. Ahner Leech, of Wash
mgton, donor of the trophy.
Lieut.. Dolf Muehleisen, of the
Ninth Corps Area, who won the
All-Army championship in 1886,
and who leaves for Hawaii in
September, will receive a special
invitation from The Washington
Times to compete in the Times
Hearst tournament, June IL to
June 20, here in Washington.
Lieutenant MuehleiSen is a star,
as he illustrated last year in win
ming the All-Army singles and
doubles and in the Pacific South
west championship. In that tour
ney, Henry Gully, ranked No. IA
in the national U. S. L. T. A. list,
encountered difficulty winning
over the Army champion. Lieuten-
ant Muehleisen carried Gully to
12-10, 6-3, which is far, far
from q bad showing against a
player of Cully'S ability.
In the doubles of the same tour.
ney, Muehleisen and Harrington,
the Army pair, met Bulge and
Mako, national champions, in the
quarter-finals, and came within q
few points of beating them!
Muehleisen and Harrington took
the first set at 6-3, lost the Sec
ond at 3-6 and then ran UP a
lead Of 81 in the deciding set.
Long rallies and Budge'S superior
play brought the match to 4-all,
and then to Sd in favor of the
national champions. Here the
Army pair made a gallant stand
and came within one point, twice,
of deucing the set, finally losing,
-6.

possible, but the committee can
not undertake the impossible task
of providing courts, coaching and
practice matches for such large
groups as the high schools would
send to the committee.
High school officials are re-
minded that the Junior Davis Cup
rules call for each school and
club to send to the committee
only the best player, and then only
if the best player has shown ex-
ceptional interest and potential
ability.
