That old and far-reaching post
card phrase, Having swell time;
wish you were here" best describes,
80 far as the favorites were con-
cerned, the opening round match
Is Of the District mems tennis tour
nament which got OF to . groan-
ing start yesterday at Edgemoor
Club.
Nary q favorite lost. Rather,
they spent . pleasant afternoon
blowing down opponents who paid
two iron men for the privilege Of
appearing In the tournament and
had not . ghost Of q chance Of
winning. Barney Welsh, David
johnson, Hugh Lynch and c. Al
phonso Smith, favorites to reach the
quarterfinals, won hands down, and
four other seeded players enjoyed
an equally easy time.
Welsh Erases Fletcher.
Welsh blasted j. r. Fletcher out
Of commission without losing .
game. Playing loosely and some
times brilliantly, he kept Fletcher
OF balance throughout the two sets
and never was threatened. Fletcher
never gained control Of his game and
bowed without struggle.
Johnsen was not hard pressed by
Ben Fisher despite the scores OF
e3, e3, nor did Lynch have to
extend himself against Bill Morrell.
Hardest match Of the day went to
Dean Judd. who outlasted youthful
De Witt Smith with his methodical.
consistent play to win in three tor
rid sets, +6, 81, e.
Smith, after coming from behind
to capture the first cluster, had his
opponent - and 40-love in the
second set when he decided to ease
up . bit, and his overconfidence
cost him the match. Judd rallied
with q series Of easy placements to
win the set.
Again Blows Opportunity.
In the third Smith again had his
rival at set point and couldn't bang
the winning shot.
Lynch, Breese, Bill Helfrich, jr.,
and Harry Brinkerhon remained on
the premises long enough to win
second-round matches In the up
per bracket, while Bill Howard oust-
ed Harold Gutenberg In the only
second-round engagement in the
lower bracket.
Brinkerho1 had his hands full
with Charley Fleming, who bowed
only after deucing the match and
carrying the deciding set into extra
innings. The scores were Ga, ST.
e6.
