STILL MISSING
"SkeegievY has. not been re-
turned tod8KS Rive and serae half
year old j. Cash, Jrg,1 kidnapped
Saturday, aecordingstOsthe agree
ment in which the parent Cash
turned over $4,000 to the abb
ductors, the child was to have
been returned yesterday, but
there are no signs of him. Re-
ports from the Princeton area are
that truckers, farmers, and the
general population of the agri-
cultural area are aroused and are
angrily talking posses to hunt
down the kidnapers. The father
has pleaded with them not to be-
gin their hunt until late today
when there is still a chance of
the child being returned. 1t is
strange indeed, that the kidnapers
could not have released the child
within sight of road or town lights
and told him to walk toward
them if they were fearful OF ap-
preaching closer. Those who have
learned to be ruthless put little
in their way. With the ransom,
they may more easily kill the
child and throw him into the
brush than return him. Their
fear of showing themselves at all
is probably high now with in
dividuals probably accommodating
privately now.

Just where former chancellor
Kurt Schuschnigg was taken
when secret Nazi police escorted
him somewhere north" is still a
conjecture bothering foreign cor
respondents. The move was prob
ably to safeguard a future upris-
ing, if Austria ever summons
strength enough again to throw
off the German yoke. The most
recent case was that of Cedillo
in Mexico who very nearly start
ed serious revolt against Presi-
dent Cardenas. Hitler, with the
drastic force of dictators, re-
moves all chance of that. Some
time back there was a blood
purge also. Blood beneath the
dictator's marching boots.

TOO GOOD
Perhaps washington players are
too good? Fans wonder. And the
answer is that nationally they're
just fair. What they need is some
imported competition from out.

revive spectator enthusiasm. But
that takes cash, and Washing.

The Middle Atlantic champion
ship, which has been postponed
again to August 81, this year
should be a tournament to rank
at least with Philadelphia's Mid
del States event. It has been
thrown open to permit stars from
all over the country to compete
and, yet, last year it was purely
q local event. Year before last q
couple of fellows came down from
Philadelphia.
The tops in tennis circles won't
stir from home without expense
money and, until Washington
kicks in with the cash, the high
caliber local competition will just
have to feed on itself without any
lift from spectator enthusiasm OF
out-of-town competition. Tennis
lovers hope that until that time

Why do the finals always produce
Barney Welsh and Dooley Mitch
ell, again and again?
WHAT KILLS CROWDS?
The Baltimore tourney in its
final stages drew q gallery OF
nearly 1000 spectators who gave
the matches the enthusiastic and
avid attention that Wimbledon it
self couldn't surpass. Boxes at $25
a crack were sold out weeks In
advance and the bleacherS were
packed. A local broadcaSting sta
tion gave a play-by-play account
Of the finals.
A District final is lucky to at
tract $50 lukewarm spectators in
cluding the players families, who
get in for nothing. Why this lack
Of spectator enthusiasm when the
Districts Barney Welsh and Gil
Hunt are the best tennis players In
the Middle Atlantic section which
includes Baltimore, Norfolk, Rich
nond and Washington?
In the annual HotchkiSS Cup
matches, none of the other Middle
Atlantic teams can touch Wash
ingten's performance, even though
the District tries to pep up COM
petition by putting in a bevy OF
its second7string players. Best Dis
trict tennis players come from
Edgemoor, and if an all-Edgemoor
team were put into the HotchkiSs
team matches, the one-sidednesS
Of the contest would be even more
pathetic.
ALL CONFUSION
Why, with the best players in
the Middle Atlantic section, Is
washington tennis and interest in
It so pedestrian?
At Baltimore the Semifinals and
the finals we're staged with all
the trappings Of big.time per
Torrance. Linesmen sat with
their eyes glued to their indiVid-
ually assigned lines; umpireS were
crisp and clear in their decisions;
play was brisk and according to
Hoyle. The galleries were promptly
shushed when they became OBJ
streperous by stern and unyield-
ing referee.
Washington tournaments are run
In lackadaisical style. Players are
permitted to postpone their sched-
Uled matches as they see fit.
Rarely does an umpire take his
high perch until the finals, and
confused IneSman may be as
signed to two or three lines at
time. Rules Of conducting tour
nament have been Winked at on
occasion, either through lack of
familiarity with those same rules
or because those conducting the
tournament evidently feel that it
doesn't really matter.
POOR COURTS
It is only fair to say that the
Baltimore Country Club, where
the Maryland State tourney was
held, pays the expenses of visit
ings stars, that B. c. G. members
