Betty Jacobs Gains Crown
AT Playground Net

A rivalry born last year in the
junior tennis championship was
renewed yesterday and had the
same, disappointing ending for
Shirley Coombs as the comely miss
from Happy Hollow lost to Betty
Jacobs in the final of the city play
ground senior championship Miss
Jacobs won by scores of 8-6, 60.
VanqWshed by her opponent In
the final of the Junior tournament
last year, Shirley had high hope Of
avengins that defeat and achieving
one of her most cherished ambitions
in senior competition. but Betty
wore her down in the gruelling first
set and was returned an easy victor
in the second.
Miss Jacobs is the first girl to
capture both junior and senior titles
in succession. Hailing from Mont
rose Playground, she succeeds Har-
riet Williams of Chevy Chase. who
did not defend her crown because
OF the age limit.

Seobright Upsets Reveal u S. Net Strength
Country Richer Young Talent Than Ever Before Soy Observers

in tennis history have there been
so many youngsters of very high
quality as at present. Members
of the Australian Davis Cup
squad, now in this country, agree
with them. Speaking on this
subject, a member Of the Antipo-
des group, one of the leading
players, said he was amazed at
the development which even a
year had seen in young American
players.
Il think" he said, "that we will
win the Davis Cup this summer.
We should. We better had, for if
we fail this time we and other
nations may as well kiss hope Of
winning the cup good-by for
some years to come"
Both Riggs and Cooke seemed
greatly discounted by their de-
feats, and attributed them to
their failure as yet to regain their
land legs. But close observers
were astounded at the tactics of
the two boys. Having come

Meet 10 Be Truly

Stors of Entire Section
Are to Stort PIoy at
Edgemoor Saturday

Indications that. for the first
time in several years. the Middle
Atlantic Tennis Tournament start
ing Saturday at Edgemoor Club
would be truly representative of this
section were given last night by Tom
Mangan, chairman of the Tourna-
ment Committee.
In contrast to recent years, when
they were conspicuous by their alb
sence, Mangan said that players
from Baltimore, Annapolis, Rich
mond, Norfolk, Charleston and
Huntington, w. Va, would be on
hand and that included in the field
would be late doubles conqueror
of Barney Welsh.
That will be the Huntington team
OF Bob Shanklin and Ed Blickle,
winner over Welsh and Buddy Adair
for the West Virginia doubles cham
pionship last week.
Welsh not only will be on hand
to defend his singles supremacy, but
also will pair with Dooly Mitchell as
the defending doubles champions.
Shanklin. incidentally. is the lad
who defeated Deacon Parsons at
White Sulphur and will be one of
the singles threats in the coming
competition.
Baltimore is planning to send a
strong array of netmen in Alex
Keiles. Price Colvin, Herbert Rawls
and Ed Griepenkerl and other cities
in the Middle Atlantic section are
expected to enter their best.
Strand johnson has been named
official referee of the tournament.
All entries for mems singles should
be sent to the Edgemoor Club before
6 pm. Thursday, when the draw will
be made.

While the downfall of leading net

plished in some part by expert
enced players, enough of the up

indicate that within year or two
United States tennis supremacy
likely is to be surely In hand, not
for a single year or two, but over

Some attribute the defeat of
Bobby Riggs and Elwood Cooke
to a letdown in the character of

they are of lesser stature than the

PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

During the past summer num- erous Civil Aeronautics Author ity representative have visited Nome on general inspection trips and in connection with the dew elopment of civil aviation in the Territory.
 The Civil Aeronautics Author ity already has a comprehensive program under construction thru out the Territory, and it behoov- es Nome and this section of A aska, to keep in step with this, our latest and one of our most vital industries.
 Not to be forgotten, is also the fact that the U. s. Army is al- ready commencing construction of air bases in Alaska, and that Nome is amost certain to be in- cluded as main terminal.
 With these incidents fresh in mind. and the recent statement by the Chief Inspector of GAIA for Alaska, that Nome should turn it's attention to the selection of a permanent site for com mercial airport; it is time that Nomeites considered project of development which in very short time will be necessary to the progress of aviation in this part of the country.
 The demand in transportation is for speed, comfort, and saf- ety, and with the advent of large transport airplanes many times the size of our present fleets. we must have accommodations for landing and takeoffs. We must have safety facilities in case of adverse weather. We must have suitable runways for large air craft to take off and land.
