Welsh Calls Il Unfair

Pile Up Receipts
Riggs Safe as Net Body
Foots Bills to Help
Davis Cup Cause
By LEWIS u. ATCHIsnN.

The United States Lawn Tennis
Associations recent decision to keep
closer check on the travelling and
expense accounts Of amateur net
men will not affect seriously any
Of Washington's small colony Of
transformers in Barney Welsh's
opinion. The long, lean barrister
is one Of them.
Barney recently passed the Mary
land State bar examination with
the highest mark Of the year and
is settling into the groove of q law
career, but he wants one more cam
paign on the Eastern circuit before
retiring to the courtroom cloister.
The U. s. L. T. A. last week
voted to enforce the rule prohibiting
players FROM accepting more than
eight weeks expenses and sus-
pended Wayne Sabin and Gene
Mako for the entire season as evi-
dence 1t meant business. Messrs.
Sabin and Mako were found guilty
of violating a rule which has been
on the statute books several years.
Two Months is enough.
Eight weeks" said Welsh. us
enough tennis for the player who
confines his activities to the sum-
mer. The Eastern circuit opens In
July and closes in September with
the national tournament at Forest
Hills. That's two months compete
ton and that's enough for the
average player.
Where it will hurt" he continued,
lis on the winter circuit. Hal Sur
face, Hank Prusoff, Gardner Malloy
and Bobby Riggs are playing in
Florida now and II that time is
counted, it will cut deeply into the
eight-week allowance. It simply
means those men will have to pay
large portion of their expenses and
don't think it's right because
they're making money for the clubs
where they appear-literally working
for them. Under those circum-
stances. 1 think they're entitled to
expense money"
ID. C. Players Foot Own Bills.
In Washington, only Welsh, Gill
bert Hunt and Dave johnson play
the Eastern circuit and most OF the
time they-Welsh, at least-pay
their freight. Their willingness to
dig down and shell out for part of
their expenses. plus the eight weeks
expenses it is permissible to receive
from the clubs is sufficient to tide
them over.
There are a few loopholes in the
association ruling, one of which will
permit Bobby Riggs to play winter
and summer with all expenses on
the house. The association, if ques-
toned concerning his status, will
answer that it is sponsoring his tour
and picking up the check to improve
his Davis Cup form. AL it does,
however, Is reimburse a club for
paving of. There are few players
around town who feel the ruling
will be invoked against racketers at
whom the association is peeved while
others in its good graces will be
able to flaunt it and go scot free.
Welsh hopes to defend a few of
the titles he won last year, hit one
OF two major tournaments and then
settle down to law. He won the
District OF Columbia, Middle Allan
tic. New York State, West Virginia
State and Edgemore titles last year
bringing home a tidy collection Of
silverplate.

Detroit's New GoaIie
Passed by Rangers
For Hockey Lead
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The New
York Rangers aren't very kind to
goalies trying to break into the
big time. or trying to fill a gap
caused by injury.
A few Sundays ago they almost
tore the head of young Willie Guide
when he came up to tend goal for
the Montreal Canadiens. That night
the frisky Rangers drove nine pucks
past the bewildered newcomer.
Last night they didn't have much
more respect for Claude Bourque,
who was rushed in from New Haven
to defend the Detroit nets after
the Wings regular goalie, Tiny
Thompson. was injured. However,
Goalie Bourque had better help
against the Rangers than Goalie
Guide and he only saw three pucks
go past as the Rangers hung up a
81 victory over the Wings.
That gave the Rangers undisputeh
first place in the league as the
Boston Bruins were idle.

Washington Horses
And Riders Primed
For Pikesvine
Capital Enters Strong
Group in 10th Field
Artillery Events
By stan Correspondent of The Star.


BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 16.-A
formidable group of riders and
horses from Washington were or
hand today ready to make up fol-
the poor showing that followed
their invasion last year in the
annual 10th Field Artillery indoor
horse show at Pikesville which
starts tonight and continues all day
tomorrow.
Apparently fit from a series of
schooling sessions back home, the
District contingent seems to have
forgotten last winters rather dull
display and has entered the show
on a vengeful note. The fact that
they easily were able to defeat
Baltimore riders in the recent
Presidents Birthday show at Fort
Myer has helped to give the cur
rent invaders confidence.
Pleased With New Hurdles.
Generally used to jumping big
strong looking barriers around the
Capital, the Washingtonians were
pleased to note on arrival here
that the jumps that make up most
of the courses now are a great i'm
provement over the ones set up
last year, when innocent and weak
appearing fences proved their un-
doing.
Heading the list of exhibitors
from Washington are Lisbeth Stieg
Fred Hughes, jr, and Dean Rath-
bun, jr. The first two have en-
tered several open jumping classes
while young Rathbun hopes to de-
feat the local children in the classes
for riders under II years of age
Eddie Talbert, who won the horse
manship class last year, will COM
pete in both the hunter and jumper
divisions with his promising colt
He'll Try.
Offer Old Liners q Battle.
Miss Steig will ride Hi Ho, and
Hughes will exhibit Black Caddy
Both are among the best around
Washington and figure to offer stiff
competition to the Marylanders
Hal Clagett Of Marlboro will COM
pete with Black Knight, and Sam
uel Bagley of Bethesda will try
his luck with Ringmaster. Mrs.
Isabelle Handy has Carrie knight
in good shape for a return to form
that has been lacking for several
months.
Tomorrow morning classes will be
devoted to the younger riders
while important hunter and jump
er sweepstakes feature tomorrow

Bottle Pesky Skeeters
In Lost Home Contest
Until February n

The slightly crippled but climbing
Washington Eagles, ebony -hued
nags of the Eastern Amateur
Hockey League renew their pursuit
Of first place tonight at Riverside
Stadium, meeting the lowly, pesky
Jersey Skeeters.
The Eagles will attempt to add the
fourth Of what they hope will be
lengthy series Of consecutive VIC
tories and in doing so whittle the
leads of the Baltimore Orioles and.
New York Rivers.
Baltimore, now in first place due
to its 6-3 win over the Skeeters last
night in Baltimore, is in a position
actually not as commanding as that
Of the second-place Rovers, for the
Orioles have played four more
games than either New York or
Washington.
Can Gain by Splitting Even.
The Eagles. by splitting even in
the four games they must make up,
can gain four points on the Orioles,
now leading them by eight. A win
tonight would trim Baltimore's mar
gin to six and New York's to five.
Appearing here for the last time
until February 27, due to the inva-
sion of their rink by the Ice Follies,
the Eagles will journey to River
Vale, N. j., tomorrow night to COL
lide with the Skeeters and on Sum-
day afternoon will tangle with the
Rovers at Madison Square Garden.
The playing status of Hal Dewey.
high-scoring wing, and Ross Knip.
fel, rapidly improving defenseman,
remained uncertain today. Dewey
continues to favor a lame back
which may keep him idle until
Sunday, while Knipfel has reinjured
his left leg.
Dewey and Knipfel Ailing.
While both Dewey and Knipfel
may be pressed into limited action
against the Skeeters, it is likely Bill

Johnny McTeer sub for Knipfs
Les Colvin, 20-year-old goaie who
has figured prominently in Wash

The Skeeters thus far have rep
resented stymie to Washington's
championship aspirations, whipping
the Eagles the last three times the
clubs have clashed and boasting an
even break with them in eight
games. The Eagles, though, never
have lost to the Skeeters here and,
by the same token, still are seeking
their first win at River Vale.
Chiefly responsible for the Skeet-
ers' success against the Eagles has
been youthful Gordie Hemming, a
goalie who repeatedly has checked
sizzling shots with spectacular saves.
The game will start at $3.50
