Ena De||inger' Rush
Al Tennis Getting
Big Test Today
Faces Charlotte Decker,
Top-Seeded Player in
League Tournament

Beaten only by two of the Dis
trict's best women tennis players
this season, little Ena Dellinger was
to get crack at third top-notcher
today when she met top-seeded
Charlotte Decker in the semifinal
round of the annual Women's
League tournament at the Rock
Greek courts.
Miss Dellinger entered the next
to-last bracket yesterday by defeat
ing Peggy Smith, 90, 3-6, 60,
and her long drives, which have
peculiar hops to them, may worry
Miss Decker no end. Numerous
doubles faults cost Mrs. Smith on
the average of two points a game,
but there was no denying that her
opponent bested her at every depart
ment.
The other semifinal match, bring
ing together fourth-seeded Sara
Moore and the girl who helped her
win the District doubles champion
ship last month, Eleanor Fishburne,
will not be played until 5 O'Clock
tomorrow.
Miss Moore is favored, but Mrs.
Fshburne is playing fine tennis
these days and upset a higher-rated
foe than Miss Moore Sunday when
she conquered second-Seeded Frances
Rowan. Mrs. Fishburne proved too
experienced for youthful Ruth john
sen yesterday, prevailing by 60,
@L.
Probably the two best doubles
teams in the draw were scheduled
to meet in the semifinals round
today, Willie Herbert and Miss
Decker taking on Mrs. Fishburne
and Miss Moore. Because no seed
ings were made, these tandems fell
closer to each other in the draw
than they ordinarily would. Mrs.
Smith and Mrs. Rowan undoubtedly
are the next best team.
The only doubles match yesterday
found the Decker Herbert combine
scoring over Louise Chinn and
Dorothy Towns, So, 60.
Consolation victories were scored
by Margaret Graham and Eleanor
Voith at the expense of Betty Zim-
norman and Ethel Shedlov. Mrs.
Graham defeated Miss Zimmerman,
63. 81, while Miss Voith van
quished Miss Shedlov, 60, 6-3.

FORT BLISS, Tex, Aug. Sit.
Norwood (South) Sothoron, fleet
quarterback who carried the mail
for Maryland a couple of years ago,
has been named coach of the 260th
Coast Artillery (anti-aircraft foot
ball team which already has begun
practice.
Sothoron, who will be assisted by
staff of officers with collegiate
football backgrounds, expects to
place on the field a team strong
enough to cope with some of the
better college elevens in the Lone
Star State. A feeler already has
been sent Sun Bowl officials regard
ing post-season game but men of
the post realize any post-season bids
will depend almost entirely on the
teams record.
Lit. Rutherford Cravens, Sewanee
College, will coach the backs, and 1t.
Bob Stroud, South Carolina, will be
head line coach. Capt. Ted Lowrie,
Missouri; 1t. Fred w. Hearn, Ala
bama, and 1t. James Nichols will
assist Stroud.
Good Material Abundant.
Material is plentiful and, at first
glance, appears to be capable. No
less than 1874 candidates answered
the first call for practice and the
group included 20 men who played

Money Is Main Problem.
One of the biggest problems con-
fronting the council is obtaining
funds to get the program under way.
1t. Osborne is mapping plans for a
regimental football league as well as
the varsity" team, and the success
of the venture depends on the gen.

are willing to lend a helping hand.

it is hoped that receipts from it's
games will be sufficient to carry
the program.
Until then all donations will be

Men to Play Tomorrow,


Next tourney on the mems links
card comes off tomorrow at Balti-
more's Hillendale Club, when the
Maryland State Golf Association
will stage one of those three-event
affairs for pros and amateurs and
an amateur-pro affair.
But probably. if you can judge by
the way affairs are going. they'll
have more entries in the Middle At
lantic P. G. A. pro-amateur tourney
at Woodholme next Monday. We
say judged by the way affairs are
going on the basis of what hap
pened at Kenwood yesterday when
the biggest mems field of the year
entered a pro-amateur. and sweep
stakes affair.
Twenty-Five professionals entered
the Kenwood event, and there were
nearly 70 amateurs contesting for
esmerchandiSe prizes from George
Diffenbaughs golf shop.
Worsham Sweepstakes Winner.
Lew Worsham, the gallivanting
youngster from Burning Tree,
topped the pros with a 3-under-par
6s. composed of 80 and 36. One
shot back were Leo Walper, who had
a bad 5 on the para seventeenth
hole. and Bob Barnett of Chevy
/ Chase. both with Cos.
Ralph Beach, Baltimore Suburban
pro, who has been doing a lot OF
| figuring in the prize list lately,
/ turned up again with a winning
score in the pro-amateur affair.

net 64. They were: Barnett and
G.. c. Warner, Chevy Chase; Leo
/ Walper. unattached, and Dick Mel
win, Indian Spring, and Lew Wor-
sham and John S. Brookes, Burning
Tree.
Spencer Overton, the steady man
from Rolling Road. scored a subpar
70 to win the gross award among
the simon pures. Marvin Wire OF
Kenwood grabbed the lions share
of the net prize with 77-13-64.
Bobby Bowers, Rock Creek Park
amateur. was next with 72-6-66.
Four Birds in Succession.
Walper, in the groove again after
months of indifferent campaigning.
had four brides in a row, starting
at the ninth. He played those holes
in 8, 2, 3, 4, which is good country
golf in any league. But that 5 at
the par-3 seventeenth gummed the
works for Leo, when he had the
tourney in his hands.
Al Houghton. tournament chair
man for the Middle Atlantic P. G. A.
in the Washington section, expects
today to set the place for the COM
ing Washington open tourney. Al
has had an offer of cash from one
of the prominent country clubs and

Miller, Black Given
Chance TO Register
DE- Net Upsets
Playing Lynch, Chonning
In Quorter-finoI Round;
Welsh Only Sure Shot

Possible upsetS today in two quar-
ter-f1nal matches added spice to the
District tennis tournament at Edge
moor Club as Public Parks Champion
Eddie Miller carried the fight to
fourth-seeded Hugh Lynch and un-
rated Bill Black tackled seventh
ranked Charley Charming.
Miller, rapidly improving his game
all around and gaining confidence
with every start, may give Lynch
more than he bargains for. although
the established District star should
win on experience. Yet, few gave
Miller a chance against Bobby
Bensinger In the final of the public
parks tournament. and the Mary
land ace gave Bobby as artistic a
lacing as you'd want.
Black Is Former Badger.
Black, who played on the Uni
yersity of Wisconsins tennis team in
1887 and now Is employed here by
the F. B. l., hasn't been overly i'm
pressive in his three starts to date,
but tournament followers weren't
counting him out before he and
Charming came to grips.
The other two quarter final
matches will be played tomorrow.
Defending Champion Barney Welsh
Is expected to take Bill Breese in
stride en- route to his certain berth
in the title round, but Don Leayens.
likely winner over Herb Shenkin to-
day, may have a bit of trouble with
unseeded Ed Kilgus. Kilgus already
has accounted for the elimina ton Of
Austin Rice and Buddy Adair, and
his match with Leavens should be
interesting, to say the least.
If seedlings prevail, Leavens will
meet Lynch in the semifinals of the
upper half of the draw and Welsh
will tackle Charming, but it's en-
tirely possible that Miller may face
Kilgus while Welsh finds himself
against Black. Obviously, Welsh is
the only sure thing in the tourna-
ment.
Lone Three-Set Match.
Black was the only winner ex-
tended the limit of three sets yes
terday, Pete Gartner sending the
scores to 60, 2-6, s4 before bow
ing. Welsh and Lynch were pressed
in one of their two sets with Dick
Bennion and Ricky Willis, re-
spectively-the champ subduing the
Utah State title holder, 6-3, Ga,
and Lynch disposing of Ricky Willis,
Is, 6-3.
Neither Leavens nor Breese ever
was worried by c. M. Beall or Ken
Dalby. Leavens dropped only one
game to Beall, while Breese swept
over Kenyon Colleges Dalby, 60,
60.
The only two doubles matches
played resulted in a 81, 8-6 victory
for De Witt Smith and Doyle Royal
over the father-son combination of
Charles Hackney, senior and junior,
while Shenkin and Rosenbaum out
lasted Morrow and Taylor, 6-3,
2-6, Ga.

An appointment will be made
within few days to fill the impor-
tant post of tournament chairman
for the Woman's District Golf Asso-
citation. Announcement of the res
ignation of Mrs. Edward Fox of
Kenwood from that post was made
today by Mrs. Walter L. Weible,
president of the association. Mrs.
Fox's resignation was accepted sew
eral hours ago. According to Mrs.
Weible, she resigned over the
mooted question of pairing con-
testants in feminine tournaments
according to handicaps The resig-
nation is the first since the complete
lineup Of committees by the women
early this year.
Several candidates are in line for
the post, Mrs. Weible said, and an
appointment will be made within
few days, certainly before the
British war relief tourney to be held
at Army Navy August Is.
The golfing gals around town have
q big month during August for, in
addition to the war relief tourney,
they have a woman-pro affair COM
ing up at Congressional August 18,
to be followed August 10 by the
affair for the Columbia Broadcast
ing System Trophy at Chevy Chase.
Mrs. Meckley Stars Again.
But 1t seems sure now that no
one is going to put the stop light
this year on the veteran Betty
Meckley, who appears to improve as
the years pass. 1t has been II years
now since Betty won her first Dis
trict championship, and not only is
she winning but apparently she
grows better as the years roll on.
All she did yesterday was establish
a new competitive course record at
Columbia, with a 1-under-par rs in
winning the gross and net prizes in
the National Broadcasting Co. tour
ney. It's getting to be a habit with
the Maryland State champion, this
winning Of both gross and net
awards. She did it in The Star
tourney In May, and now she has
done it again.
