Completion of the semifinal round
IN women's singles, beginning of
women's doubles and scattering
flrst-round matches in girls singles
formed todays program for The
Stars all-embracing City of Wash
ington tennis tournament for the
Capitals fair players.
Over at Army Navy Country Club
Jane Wilmerding, surprise con-
queror of fourth-seeded Hazel
(Jimmy) Bishopp yesterday, was to
take on Marian Prichard this morn
ing. with top-seeded Willie O'Steen
Herbert meeting Dorette Miller this
afternoon. Both were quarter-fnals
affairs, with the winner of the Will
merding- -Prichard match scheduled
to meet Margo Lee in the semis of
the upper bracket and the Herbert
Miller survivor paired with Char
lotte Decker in the lower.
At the same place eight doubles
teams were to play four matches,
with Elinor Finckel and Mrs Miller
the seeded No l combination and
Mrs. Herbert and Margo Lee No. 2.
Many believe the latter will beat out
the Flnckel-Miller duo for the
championship. but it is their first
tournament together while Miss
Finckel and Mrs. Miller played as
team throughout the 1889 season to
gain rank as the Districts No. 3
Woman'S team.
Many Clever Girl Players.
Out at Friends School Betty ia
cob, as expected, topped the girls
ranking, but strong opposition is
expected from Margot Parsons, for
mer girl champion of Hawaii who
is seeded second. Miss Parsons, a
student at Woodrow Wilson High
School, gave some indication of her
promise when she carried Elinor
Finckel to three sets in her losing
flrst-round stand in the womens
tournament.
Other outstanding girl entrants
appeared In La Jeanne Echols, an
attractive miss from Montgomery
Blair High School in Silver Spring
who was seeded third and Becky
Yobst. who has looked good in re-
cent practice sessions at the Army
Navy courts.
Although all of the girls were to
meet Referee Dorette Miller early
this afternoon, only a few matches
were to be scheduled today, the bulk
of the contestants not making their
start until tomorrow morning.
Thereafter, matches will be sched-
uled to start at o'clock and con-
tinue until 3.
Winner Meets Miss Lee.
AS the end of women's singles
neared, the question on most OBJ
servers lips was whether the winner
of this mornings match between
Mrs. Wilmerding and Mrs. Prichard
could be conceded a chance against
second-seeded Miss Lee tomorrow.
On the surface it appeared not, but
few gave Mrs. Wilmerding a chance
to beat Miss Bishopp yesterday, yet
the promising MARYLAND coed, ex-
periencing one of her too frequent
"off" days, went down by Ga, 6-1
scores, while Mrs. Prichard soundly
trounced both Roselyn Pope, Go,

The first stop was to be in Chi

The entire group was in excellent
shape and while they expected to
run their best races of the sea-
son there were some misgivings as
to whether the supreme effort would
be good enough. I'm undefeated,"
March grinned. "but I don't know
whether I'll still be unbeaten after
Saturday" He captured both high
and low hurdles in the Southern
Conference games and won the 400
meter timber race at the Penn Re-

The Terp trio trained religiously
for the games. Eppley was unable

Miss O'Steen was expected to de-
feat Mrs. Miller in their quarter
final match this afternoon, setting
the stage for renewal of her feud
with Miss Decker which started back
on the Districts Fairgrounds.
All three of the matches in the
lower bracket, incidentally, provided
interesting developments yesterday.
Frances Rowan, coholder of the
women's doubles in the first City
of Washington tournament IL years
ago, gave Miss O'Steen more than
she had bargained for before bow
ing, 6-3, Ga. Mrs. Rowan, taking
the court after shooting l8 holes
OF golf in the women's District
tournament, flashed a strong FORE
hand and If she continues to play
tournament tennis, may regain her
once high spot in District rankings.
Play Three Deuced Sets.
Pretty little Eleanor Voith also
worried Mrs. Miller throughout
their match, which developed into
the Journeys longest to date before
the veteran finally prevailed at
IS, 81, 8-6. Some observers
said that the winner held as many
as Is match points in the last three
games before she finally was able
to drive home the clinching points,
so stubborn was Miss Voith's op-
position. Even though beaten, Miss
Voith's stand is certain to enhance
her chances for a District ranking
next year If she continues her good
work.
In match of school teachers,
Miss Decker was just too good for
Miss Finckel, winning in straight
sets, 6-3, 6A Accurate through

Anglers heading for various Ches-
apeake Bay spots to chum for rock
are advised to make reservations at
least one day In advance. It's not
so much that boats are booked
heavy and are difficult to find, but
that the shrimp chum itself is scarce
and hard to get.
Ordinary shrimp, such as sold
around local markets for use as
hardhead bait, will not do. A small
er grass shrimp is the ideal rock
chum and must be caught practi-
cally by hand around the shore line.
The cost averages around 50 a gall
lon over and above your boat
charges, but once you've hooked a
big rock by this method you'll think
1t worth the difference.
For ordinary hardhead fishing
take your shrimp with you from
local markets. The cost is only 25
cents pound here, while at many
bay ports it sells for so cents.
Washington casters have been in
vlted to compete in the fifth an
nual E. A. S. A. C. tournament at
