If you are moving from a house
and have massive furniture, you
probably are discouraged in your
search for a small apartment that
it will look we'll in. This apartment
is of the older type with large
rooms, plenty of wall space and
extra high ceilings. While it is only
a tWOroom, kitchen and bath unit
with an entrance hall, it is ex-
tremely roomy and furniture of
that type will look good in it. Also
the location is an especially con-
venient one with all types of
stores, churches and schools close

Net Duel

Representatives from the diplo-
matte corps Of all nations compet-
ing for the internationally known
Davis Cup will attend the Fred
Perry-EllSworth Vines tennis con-
test on Monday night in Ritchie
Coliseum at the University of
Maryland. The trophy has been
retained by England for the past
four years, due to Perry's capable
play for that country, prior to his
turning professional two months
ago.
Ritchie Coliseum should be
jammed to capacity when Perry
and Vines start their singles
match, according to advance ticket
sales. More than half the total
number of tickets have already
been sold. Bruce Barnes and
George M. Lott, jr., will appear
with Perry and Vines in singles
and doubles contests.
Tom Mangan OfficiateS
Tom Mangan, veteran Washing
ton tennis player and official, will
officiate during the Perry-VineS
meeting, while other umpireS and
lineSmen will be recruited from
the ranking amateur players and
officials in this district. Otto
Glockler, pro at the University
Club, will umpire the doubles, and
Bill Coyle, of National Broadcast
ing Company, will make announce
ments over the loudSpeaker sys-
TEN.
Because of his triumph over
Vines on Wednesday night in Buf-
falo, Perry now leads 4-3 in the
series. The two players meet to-
night in Philadelphia and tomor-
row in Baltimore. Vines, since
his appearance in New York in
the first engagement of the tour,
has entirely recovered from the
flu, which affected his shots in
earlier matches.
The green canvas court, usually
used by the troupe, will not be
laid down for Mondays contest.
The wood floor will be marked out
with tennis court lines, and is eX-
pected to furnish plenty of action
for Perry, Vines and the other
members of the troupe, as the
wood surface adds additional speed
to shots on account of the skid"
resulting from the smooth, wood
foundation.
Arrive Here Sunday
The players, accompanied by S.
Howard Voshell, co-promoter Of
the tour with Frank Hunter, of
New York, will arrive in Washing
ton Sunday and will stay at the
Mayflower Hotel.
Lawrence Baker, Of Washing.
