Women's Dark Horse
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Bobby Bensinger, Washington's
outstanding young tennis player,
and Maurice Cowan, another crack
junior, will give the Capital two
outstanding threats in the Middle
Atlantic junior-boy tournament
starting tomorrow at Baltimore, but
there was a chance today that
Washington might be unrepresented
entirely in the boys division.
Winners and finalists in The
Stars tournaments last month at
Columbia Country Club auto
matically qualified for the sectional
championships, but Sam Doyle, the
boy champ, is unable to go and
it is doubtful If Jack Timothy, the
runnerup, can make the trip either.
LIE Roy Morgan, who lost to Doyle
in the semifinals, has been given
an invitation to represent Wash
ington in the latter's absence.
Unless some junior player has
risen suddenly-and secretly-in
Maryland, Virginia or West Vir-
ginia, Bensinger should add the Sec
tion's junior championship to the
boys crown he won last year. At
that time there was none who could
touch Washington's young star.
The tournament will be held to-
morrow and Friday.
Women in Crucial Matches.
The insertion of the only new
name in final round OF the current
public parks tournament at Rock
Greek was expected today as Mar
garet Keever faced Dorette Miller
in one of two semifinal women's
matches. With only seeded players
left in the mems competition, Miss
Keever stands as the lone dark
horse with chance of reaching
the title round and, because she
upset Charlotte Decker on Sunday,
was given better than even chance
Of eliminating Mrs. Miller.
Defending mpion Willie
O'Steen Herbert was to meet Hazel
(JimmO Bishopp in the semis of the,
upper bracket, thus setting the stage
for the women's title clash.
Two more mems semifinalists were
to be Established through the Art
Simmons-David Kay and Billy Con-
treras-Harry Brinkerhoff matches.
Brinkerhoff, the only unseeded play
er left in the running, accounted
for the mems first upset yesterday
when he defeated sixth-seeded
George Herbert, 60, Ga, as form
prevailed in other matches in which
top-seeded Allie Ritzenberg de-
feated his brother Hy, seeded fifth,
60, Ga, and second-seeded Ray
Stocklinski conquered seventh
seeded Hugh Trigg, 60, 6I1.
Ritzenberg -Burkom Set Pace.
Allie Ritzenberg and Phil Burkom
became the first doubles semifinalists
by defeating Bensinger and Jack
Carr, Ga, 6-1, but John Smith and
Herbert, Art Simmons and Harry
Goldsmith, Haney and Hy Ritzen-
berg and Fleming and Waymack are
in the quarterflnals.
The start of mixed doubles yester-
day saw Helen Fechtman and Carl
Fontanini defeat Roselyn Pope and
Harry Brinkerhoff, Miss Keever and
Smith defeat Eleanor Voith and r.
L. Willies, 63, 9-11, 60, and Mrs.
Miller and Hy Ritzenberg defeat
Ruth Rhetts and Taylor, Is. 60.
Anne Cullen Wins Consolation.
The girls District tournament
officially ended yesterday when
sprightly little Anne Cullen defeated
Mary Brookings for the consolation
championship in three hard-fought
sets, 3-6, 81, Ga. Miss Cullen
will be too old for girls competition
next year, but if she continues to
improve, will be making some of the
older woman players sit up and take
notice before long.
