NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-Tennis sug-

Eastern tennis critics are certain
the male contingent headed by the
unpredictable Bobby Riggs is not

the current Southampton tourna-

Defending champion, Welsh seemed
headed for another easy titular con-
quest, for an expected influx of
court stars from Maryland, Virginia

challenger appeared in the "a en-
tries for the singles crown.
The fond hope of tourney officials
that Gil Hunt, local lad who ranks
10th nationally, would compete was
shattered when Hunt decided to play
at Rye, N. Y.
Welsh, who was to face D. C.
Classic today at o'clock in a first
round match, has been seeded first,
with Hugh Lynch seeded second and
David johnson, third.
Sharp competition for the doubles
title loomed, however, with the entry
of Baltimore's champions, Frank
Roberts and Alex Keiles. Welsh and
Dooly Mitchell are defending cham
pions.
Other outstanding matches at 4
o'clock today had Harry Brinkerhoff
meeting Dick Murphy and Merle

while an hour later Tom Sherburne
was to tangle with Charles Chan

Some horseshoe flippers, like a
great many golfers, are prone to
judge their entire game on their best
scores. To find out definitely how
capable ring tosser you are, under
championship conditions, take a
fling at the qualifying test in the an
nual Evening Star tournament to be
held on the evenings of August 81
and % on the National Capital Parks
courts, in the park opposite the
Commerce Building. I
In this, each entrant will pitch
100 shoes. with a ringer counting
three points and a shoe within six
inches of the stake one point.
Seasoning Is Necessary.
Hundreds of pitchers skip The Star
tournament because they're not
good enough to get anywhere ;"
They're scared off by the big reputa-
tions of the Hensons, Fleshmans and
Saunderses, ct al. but this is mis-
take. Only through competition
under championship conditions can
one hope to attain high degree skill
in game which may be played with
great enjoyment and physical benefit
by almost anyone but in which it
is difficult to become an expert and
therefore worthwhile.
AS mentioned many times in these
columns, seldom is a first class

three years and this means three

Tennis League Crown
Charlotte Decker's
For Second Year

Charlotte Deckers mounting pres
tige in local tennis circles zoomed to
new heights today as she added her
second District Women's Tennis
League title to an increasing collec-
ton of crowns.
Equipped with an excellent COM
petitive spirit, Miss Decker rallied to
overcome a So deficit in the decid-
ing set yesterday to trim Marian
Cunningham, 81, 3-6, 11-9, at
the Sixteenth Street Reservoir
courts.
Miss Decker also won the tourney
last year and the District Junior
girls championship in 1887.
The unseeded Mrs. Cunningham
spurted into a So lead in the final
set, but succumbed to the persistent
tactics of the bespectacled former
playground star. Twice Mrs. Cum
ningham fought off match points be-
fore dropping the lengthy battle.
After brief rest, Miss Decker
and Mrs. Cunningham teamed to
capture the doubles crown by whip
ping Joan Bransford and Frances
Carter, 60, in the final set of a
match which was postponed Friday
because of darkness after each team
had grasped a set.
The complete score was IS, 2-6,
60.
Margaret Graham of Columbia
Country Club defeated Ruth Rhetts,

the first quarter was over, Akron
left the field at half-tim tied with

Never FumbIe.
Abdulla, incidentally, has had an
offer from the Redskins longer than
any present rookie. Back in 1886
the Indians, being misinformed
that he was due to graduate that
year, rendered him a contract.
Eager to break into professional
football, although he never had
seen National League game,
Abdulla tucked it carefully away, but
any fears that he would not get
another bid upon graduation were
nullifed when he received a fresh
