Ace on Boards,

Score Easily in
Tourney Start
BY HUGH r. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Joey Fish
bach never may become another Don
Bulge or win anything approximate
ing the fame of the tall Californian,
but in his particular tennis field he's
becoming someone to be considered
quite seriously.
Fishbach came from nowhere"
to win the national junior indoor
title a year ago and he's defend
ing the crown at the 7th Regiment
Armory this week. In his opening
match yesterday he routed Burton
Hellman, New York high school
player, 6-1, 6-1, and the chances
are he won't have any much harder
matches until the last two or three
rounds of the tournament. He won
the metropolitan Junior title last
week as tuneup for the national
event.
Self Taught Players.
There was gossip last year when
Joey came through to win his first
important championship that he had
been neglected" by the tennis au-
thorities; that his college-St. Johns
University of Brooklyn-didn't have
the prestige of Harvard or Yale; that
his coach wasn't regarded with favor
by the court moguls. In fact he was
regarded as just a kid who liked to
bat tennis ball around.
That much, at least, was true.
Fishbach never had much coaching
until he entered college and by that
time he had learned to do pretty well
on what he picked up by himself
or through his high school coach.
AS for recognition, however, 1t ap-
pears now that his game is especially
suited to indoor play and it wasn't
until he put together his string of
straight-set triumphs last winter
that he really showed his ability. He
was top seeded in the current tourna-
ment as matter of course.
Like some more famous players,
notably Greg Mangin, who could
win indoors but not outside, Fish
bach is at his best on the board floors.
He's more accurate than most of
the juniors and more aggressive and
he can judge just how the ball will
rebound. On clay or turf courts he
hasn't shown much, although he
took the eastern junior title the
past two years and the eastern in
tercollegiate outdoor championship
last summer.
Others Score Easily.
Five other seeded players who
won their first round matches in
the national tourney yesterday ad-
vanced almost as easily as the leader
Bill McGehee of New Orleans and
Scarborough, N. Y, school, No. 4 on
the list, whipped Herb Wolff, jr., of
White Plains, N. Y, 60, 60; Bill
Gillespie of Atlanta and Duke Uni
versity, No. S, downed Alter Milberg
of New York, 60, 60; Malcolm
Weinstein of Philadelphia, No. g.
rallied to defeat Bert Mcclure,
Yonkers, Ga, 6-3; H. c. Van Rens-
selaer of New York and Princeton,
No. 8, beat Dick Franco, New York,
60, IS, and Melvin Schwartzman,
New York, No. IL. downed Joel Adler,
Brooklyn, 6-3, 81.
The other six selected players are
scheduled to get into action today
when the first round of the boys
championship also is to be played
The 1887 boys champion, now a
junior, Richard Bender of Elizabeth,
N. j., supplied the only first day
surprise when he eliminated Bernard
Jacoby, local high school star, So,

D, c, MERCHANTS
PRAISE TIMES

A small group of merchants on
Eleventh Street Southeast, today
were celebrating a hard-fought
victory.
They succeeded in convincing
District traffic officials and the
Commissioners Of the futility Of
continuing one-way traffic restric-
ton along Eleventh Street from
East Capitol to South Carolina
Avenue.
Led by M. David Robinson, the
group of merchants started drive
a few months ago to have the
street reopened to tWo-way trafc-
fic. They argued the street was
sufficiently wide for two-Way traf-
fic, as it was a direct thorough
fare to Southern Maryland. Since
the one-way ban was started two
years ago, they pointed out, they
had lost about half of their bust
ness.
Mr.. Robinson today expressed
appreciation to The Washington
Times for valuable support in their
winning campaign.

Lewis Tydings Fight Is
Growing Hot
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

BY THEODORE HUNTLEY
Maryland politics were boiling
up to a froth today i'm difference to
the discovery that Governor Harry
w. Nice intends to run for re-
election.
Nor was that all-although the
governors Statewide radio broad
cast Thursday evening will set the
pace for his rivals.
Representative David ]. Lewis, OF
Cumberland, running for the Sena-
torial nomination against Senator
Willard F. Tydings, said as he left
this morning for the Eastern
Shore that Statewide hookups
were "out" for him unless some
one else footS the bills.
"a POOR MAN"
I'm a poor man." the New
Deal candidate said. Local
radio stations have carried one
or two of my speeches so far,
and others may as the campaigl,
progresses. But l have no
money to finance q big radio
campaign and will have to take
my fight directly to the people
in personal appearances"
Street-corner speeches and all
the old-time approaches to public
opinion are included in the Lewis
campaign plans.
Although expressing himself as
willing to accept contributions
from the Democratic National
committee. the congressional COM
mittee, or the State committee, the
Cumberland liberal was Skeptical
as to whether any campaign funds
would be forthcoming from these
sources. If they are, it will be a
clear departure from custom,
since political committees ordi-
narily do not spend committee
funds in primary fights. 1t would
not be without precedent. however,
as the Democratic State Commit
tee in Pennsylvania conducted and
in part financed the fight for the
winning Democratic candidates
for the goVernorship and senator
ship in that State in May.
PATRONAGE PLUMS
New Deal hope of helping Lewis
will meet two formidable obstacles
at the outset.
One of them is Tydings' hold
on Federal patronage in the State.
It is his boast that he has put
more MaryIanders on the payroll
than have been appointed from
any other State. And most Of them
are Tydings supporters.
In addition to this, the tall
senior Senator is satisfied that the
WPA organization will be in his
corner. It is there now, and he
doesn't think it can be taken away
from him.
Meanwhile. Governor Nice, more
than satisfied with the way things
are going in the opposition camp,
went ahead with his plans for an
active fight on his own account,
to be launched officially when he
speaks over six Maryland radio
stations Thursday.

Cayton in his petition declares
that the law holds that voting lists
