WELSH, MITCHELL
NOT TO CONTEST
New Name to Go on Evening
Star Cup--Competition to
Start Tomorrow.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.


A new mems tennis champion of
next week or 10 days and name
other than Barney Welsh's will be in
scribed on The Evening Star Cup for
the first time since the trophy was
put into competition in 1886.
That was the cheering news today
for entrants in The Stars City of
Washington tournament which opens
at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at
the Edgemoor Club
For Welsh, tWo-time winner of The
Star tournament, is leaving town to-
morrow for a weekend holiday va
cation and will forsake competition in
the seasons first tourney.
More good news for the perennial
"also-rans" appears from glance at
the draw which fails to include the
name of Dooly Mitchell, ranked second
only to Welsh in District net circles.
The absence of both the Nos. and 2
stars presages the widest open fight in
a mems tennis tournament this old
town has seen in years.
Lynch Is Seeded No. 1.
With either Welsh or Mitchell hav-
Ing cleaned up in every major tourna-
ment here in the past two years, the
pending Star event will mark the
first time in recent history that new
face will join the Districts roll of
champions who have ruled local nets.
In the absence of the perennial top
notchers. Hugh Lynch-only yesterday
named the third ranking player of the
District and one of the most popular
netmen in the Capital-has been
named the seeded No. contestant and
leading challenger for The Star Cup.
With local rankings governing the
seedlings, remaining outstanding en-
trants were seeded as follows: No. 2, 1t
James Farrin: No, 3, Frank Shore;
No. 4, Allie Ritzenberg; No. 5, Ray
Stocklinski; No 6, 1t Stan Robinson;
No. 7, Billy Contreras, and No. s,

the host, Edgemoor Club. and public
parks leaders like Pat Deck Hugh
Trigg, Elwood Hoffecker, Mau.ice

BY the luck of the draw, Farrin,
Robinson, Shore and johnson are
slated to fight it out in the upper

among their obstacles.
In the draws lower half, Lynch's
bracket, are found the seeded players
