Al O'Clock
Boys Singles FinoIist
To Be Decided Today;
Junior Doubles Open
By BILL DISMFR. Jr.

Less than "a hours remain before
the entry deadline falls on the first
mems tennis tournament of the sea-
son as the draw for The Stars City
Of Washington event, starting Sat-
urday at Edgemoor, will be made
tomorrow afternoon.
Strand johnson, chairman of
Edgemoor's tennis committee; Ma
riano Erana, also of Edgemoor; A.
K. Tigrett. president of the District
Tennis Association, and the writer
have been designated as the tour
nament committee whose first act
will be to make the seedlings and
flrst-round pairings tomorrow.
Rankings to Govern Seeding.
1t is expected that District rank
ings, based on 1888 performances,
will govern seedlings in the first
senior tournament of the year.
Play will start at o'clock Saturday
afternoon and - with ALL day
matches scheduled Sunday-it is
hoped to reach the quarterfinals be-
fore the Sabbath's dusk. Next
week, afternoon matches will pre-
vail as long as there is daylight.
Last-minute entries will be taken
over the telephone at the Edgemoor
Club, Wisconsin 1919, until o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Absolutely no
post entries will be accepted.
Meanwhile, finalists for the boys
singles championship were to be
established this afternoon at Co.
lumbia Country Club where two
sets Of youngsters are in hot fights.
Bobby Bensinger, the boy champ,
last year, was favorite to defeat
13-year-old Peter Fratt, but Ster-
ling Lee and Buddy Dawson, jr.,
were expected to battle long and
hard before Bensingers challenger
was decided.
Juniors to Get Busy.
With junior doubles just getting
under way, most of the spotlight in
the Junior division was focused on
tomorrows eight quarter final
matches involving five seeded play
ers and three who have advanced to
the round of eight by sensational
play.
The pairings:
$40 o clock-Leonard Sokol of Central.
seeded No. |. VS. David Kav of Roosevelt,
unseeded; Bobby Bensinger of Takoma
Park Academy. seeded No. s. VS.. winner of
today's match between Harry. Brinkerof
Of Central and Ben Fisher Of Roosevelt.
both unseeded.
4 o'ciock-Tom Walden of Wilson.
seeded No. .. vs., Edwin Richardson of Ana
costa, seeded No g.
5 oclock-Dck Mayfeld of Bethesda
Chevy Chase. -unseeded, vs. Byron Mat
thews. seeded No. 3.
Hot Matches in Sight.
Because three seeded players al
ready have been eliminated, all loom
as bitterly fought matches with no
favorites cited. If one must be
named, it should be Brinkerhoff,
who probably will beat Fisher today
and outclass Bensinger, still a boy
player, tomorrow.
All the rest have been playing
good, hard tennis and little choice
is seen. Walden is the only one of
the eight quarter -fnalists who has
lost even a set, but the manner in
which he rallied to whip two sterling
opponents in the odd set augurs i'll
for any who would extend him.

Six Marks Fall, Two
Tied as Maryland
Wins Trophy
Wushington-Lee Takes
School Section, With
Lees Setting Pace

One gentleman at least, Mr.. E.
Joseph Aranof, will not soon forget
the first annual Evening Star games
for District A. A. U. and Metropoh-
tan Scholastic track and field
championships, for today Aranoff
custodian of records, is marshaling
his staff of clerical assistants to re-
cord the damage inflicted on the
marks after an afternoon of unre-
strained record smashing at College
Park.
More than 1000 enthusiastic fans
braved a brolling sun to witness
games, conduct of which estab-
lshed another unofficial record, and
they were generous with their ap-
plause for Glenn Cunningham,
worlds premier miller, who ran in
an exhibition, and other contest
ants.
Cunningham Is Impressive.
No less than six standards fell
and two more were tied as Mary
lands potent forces romped off with
the A. 4. Z. team title, ainassing the
staggering total of 81 points. Only
the fact that Cunningham was run
ming an exhibition saved the aranoff
staff further work. He ran the legs
off quartet of District collegians in
negotiating the distance in 4 min
uteS 1856 seconds. His opponents
came the last grueling 200 yards on
their knees, figuratively speaking,
as Cunningham breezed home.
But all the glory does not belong
to the A. A, U. contestants, for Wally
Legg, the most promising schoolboy
trackman ever developed in this
section. led Washington-Lee High to
the metropolitan scholastic cham
pionship with a triple victory in
both hurdles and the broad jump.
And the schoolboys generally distin-
gulshed themselves with outstanding
performances in all events.
Chronister Is Forced Out.
Cunningham, reverting to the
mile, had race on his hands three
quarters Of the way as Mason
Chronister, Maryland's loose -hipped
long-legged star, took the lead at the
outset and kept it during the first
three turns around the oval. But
Chronlster, who insisted on running
even though suffering stomach all
ment a couple of hours before the
event. had to give up after going
three laps in 3 minutes Is seconds,
and Cunningham went the last
quarter with no competition.
New records went to Jim Kehoe
Of Maryland in the 88o-yard run,
Frank Cairo of Catholic U. in the
discus, Tommy Fields, Maryland, q
mile run; Goffredi, Washington
Track and Field Club, pole vault;
Red Hammacher, Maryland Frosh,
broad jump; 220-yard low hurdles,
Hermie Evans, Maryland, and YER
non Miller, Maryland, 440-yard dash.
George Bogans- former Georgetown
star, tied the 22o-yard- mark.

Encourages Apathy,
Citizens Told
Midcity Association
Hears Dr.. Evons of
Democratic League

DR.. Thomas Evans, president of
the National Democratic League of
Washington, declared last night that
his organization will tight with the
fullest of its resources" to achieve
local suffrage for the District and
cited the nomination of George E..
Allen as Commissioner as "an in
vincible argument that so long as
there is no enfranchisement here,
the wishes of local residents will be
ignored"
Speaking before a meeting of the
Midcity Citizens Association in
Thomson Community Center, DR..
Evans referred to the remarks of
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt at the
Washington Youth Council conclave
last week in which Mrs. Roosevelt
deplored the APATHY" of American
youth. Mrs. Roosevelt should real
ize that such restriction of demo-
cratic rights as exists in the District
can be traced as cause for this
apathy of which she speaks" de-
clared DR.. Evans. Citizens of the
District can be likened to group of
children who are forced to witness
through high fence the play and
happiness of the more privileged"
DR.. Evans said, adding that al
though perfectly normal they are
barred as criminals, foreigners or
the mentally deficient"
Asks Voice in Government.
The association acted to reafflrm
its conviction that residents of the
District be allowed a voice in the
management OF their purely local
affairs" and that the council or
other governing body of the city
should be elective. The resolution
was offered by George A. Warren.
The association also reiterated its
stand favoring the Fourteenth and
Upshur streets site for the proposed
new Abbot Vocational School.
Acting on two pending congress
sional bills the association approved
