Dean Judd, the scholarly, stoop-
shouldered ball bangor who could
step into nigntshirt any time and
give fair imitation Of the OLE gent
with the hour glass, appeared head
ed for elimination in the District
mems net tournament this after
noon, but not before giving ambi-
tlous youngsters sound lesson in
persistence and courage.
Judd faced Barney Welsh, an out
standing contender for the crown,
in one of the afternoons features
and, barring a sudden attack of
paralysis on Welsh'S part, seemed
destined to lose. How to figure the
match, whether Welsh would have
much trouble with his older oppo-
nent or suffer an upset, had fans
guessing. Certainly two more dia-
metrically different figures will not
face in the current tournament, so
they installed Welsh a favorite and
let it go at that
Welsh Is Man to Beat.
Barney figured to win. In three
matches, displaying all his vaunted
power and finesse, he hadn't dropped
game-disposing of his victims in
near-record time. He was more
like his old self than he has been
at any time this summer, slamming
hot ingots down the sideline and lit
orally blowing down the opposition
1t is agreed that whoever knocks off
Welsh will do mansized job.
In two appearances Judd has gone
312 and 3 hours, respectively, to win
long. drawn-out sets from more
youthful adversaries. No less than
10 times has he tottered on the
brink of defeat, only to gather his
ebbing strength, summon up all the
skill and cunning at his command
and raked the chestnuS out of the
fire Both rivals, De Witt Smith,
defeated Saturday, and Reggie Coop
er, ousted yesterday, have told the
same story of thinking they had the
match under control, only to see
Judd steal it away with his per-
sistent pecking.
Yesterday Cooper had Dean at
set point four times in the opening
bluster before losing, ST. In the
third and clinching set he had Judd
at match point four times before the
veteran slipped over the deciding
shots to win. The complete figures
were Is, 3-6, 10-8 Both Cooper
and Smith will not soon forget that
a healthy lead is not enough to win
a set or match, that you've got to
put over final especially if the
man on the other side of the net is
Dean Judd.
Davey johnson, co-favorite with
Welsh in singles, faced a mild test in
Bill Breese, one of those angular
SaXons with mellifluous tone and
excellent forehand johnson was
doped to win.
Brinkerhoff Sportsman.
A fine bit of craftsmanship on
Harry Brinkerhoff's part saved
Ricky Willis from extinction in the
third set of their torrid match.
Willis won the first set, 7-5, and
dropped the second, 80, before
developing a serious cramp in his
leg. First aid failed to iron out
the Wrinkled muscle, so tourna-
ment officials ruled Brinkerhoff the
winner by default But he would
not have it that way and the third
set was to be resumed today at 3
o'clock
In doubles the Welsh-Dooley
Mitchell duo got the jump on the
field by winning two matches yes
terday and reaching the quarter
finals. The 1888 titleholders
trounced Hal Joffe and Carl Fon-
tanini, 81, 6-3, and Hy Ritzen-
berg and John Smith, 6-3, 6-1.
