3 CLOSE FIGHTS
SLATED IN MEMS
D. C. TENNIS PLAY
BY Lillian RIXEY

1
Three close matches we're sched-
uled for this afternoon in the Dis
trict of Columbia m ems tennis
championship at Columbia Coun-
try Club. Tony Latona was to
meet Bill Howard; Big Bill BreeSe
VS.. Don CARRIER, and Lieut.. STAN
ley Robinson was to have a Set-to
with stock Bud Adair in the fourth
round of the tournament.
Yesterdays matches furnished
no startling upsets. Officials were
able to sandwich in all OF 10
singles and doubles between light
showers after p. m. Closest thing
to an upset was the elimination
of Frank Shore by Joel Baker, who
thus gets a chance to play Barney
welsh, perennial District cham
pion, at S this afternoon.
THREE-SET MATCHES
Two youngsters C a m close to
making headlines when they ex-
tended their more experienced op-
ponents to three sets each. David
johnson, of George Washington
University, played brilliant tennis
to take the second set in lis match
with Hugh Lynch, third seeded
player. johnson dropped the first
set, 60, in a mild form of stage
fright. Nervous tension again had
something to do with his easy
defeat in the third, which he lost,
81.
John Hatch, who next year will
undoubtedly gain position on the
West Point tennis squad, dupil-
Gated the LynCh-Johnsen score ex-
actly in his match with Ray Stock
linski. Of all the younger players
around Washington John Hatch
appears to be the most promising.
His game is not finished by any
means, but he has height, power
and form as well as youth.
SPIRITED RALLIES
Another match whose score be-
lies the closeneSS Of play was that
between Lieut.. James Farrin and
Tom Moorhead, of Chevy Chase,
The score was 6-1, 6-3 for Far
rim. Rallies were lengthy and vol
Ileys spirited.
The campaign with the rally
cry of Find a blond mixed doubles
partner for Bill Breese," tall hand
some nephew of Hamilton Fish,
seeded number four, has strangely
enough gotten nowhere at all.
There are no takers to date.
