Possibility that the reigns of
Washington's junior and girl tennis
champions might come to an end
today spiced the final rounds OF the
youngster divisions slated in The
Stars City of Washington Tourna-
ment play at Columbia Country Club
and Friends School.
Bobby Bensinger and Margot Par
sons were slight favoriteS in defense
of their titles against Bob Hall and
Julie Fisk, but the realization that
each challenger had more than a
fighting chance sustained interest.
Halls cannon-ball service and
powerful strokes figured to bother
Bensinger more than the play OF
any opponent since he started to
play boys tennis in 1898, while Miss
Fisk is said to have been playing
Miss Parsons pretty evenly in re-
cent friendly matches at Army Navy
Country Club, where both are men,

All four of the junior and girl

Tom Walden last year, was to pair
with Hall against Ben Fisher and
John Waits. while the Misses Par
sons and Fisk were to challenge
Ruth johnson and Margery Snow

ployed together as team this year.
The boys doubles title was be-

Schweitzer and Jimmy Everett last
Saturday. 1t was regarded as a

have been able to turn this trick.
Kip, however, isn't the only one
turning in champion-class angling.
Sara harrington, his wife and an
angler of note, made an all-tackle
record for broadbill on June with
the catch of a fish weighing $40
pounds, then boated another to be-
come the sixth angler-and the first
woman-to accomplish such a feat.
Frederick Party Unlucky.
Poor catches over this past week
end could not be blamed on the
barometer They might have been
the result of the high temperatures.
And the fish did show some activity
during the major solunar periods.
With more fish in bay waters than
we have known for several years, a
party of 10 from Frederick, Md,
hshed all Saturday morning at West
River without a single nibble: drove
down to Deale and repeated the per-
formance in the afternoon at Her
ring Bay. The fishermen weren't
disgrntled until they saw the catch
Of another angler at the dock. Every
fish Of this string was caught from
1880 to 1890.
The slump also hit the Gooses
Saturday night, but not quite 50
heavily. All boats caught fish, IN
cluding many large trout. but the
high scores piled up during mid
week nights weren't approached.
Two white marlin have been seen
close in under the shore at Ocean
City. Most of the boats have been
fishing far off and probably missed
them for that reason. There is no
doubt about them being there. for
/ the catch of one on Saturday by a
commercial fisherman grinding for
bluefish on Blackfish Shoals off
Chincoteague is ample proof.
The weather has been hot enough
| to warm the offshore waters to their
liking. With more boats going out
there is every reason to believe they
will be caught this week. Last year,
despite that everything was against
an early season. the boats were run
ming every day by this time. This
year it looks as though every one
is letting George take try at 1t
first, and it is hard to blame them
for waiting. You can't catch those
babies without trying, however, 50
it Is up to the angler after all.

cease to worship materially. Spir-
itual devoutness is the soul of Chris

Nuzi UItimutum Unconfiirmed
However, Lack Of Notice to Bulgaria Unlikely
To Deter Troop Movements If Decided Upon

Turkeys position, to set up kind
of springboard for an ulterior ex-
peditionary force to the Near East
and yet not commit Germany, in
that part of the world, more deeply
and extensively than deemed con-
venient. That method of interven-
ton would merely involve the occu-
patton of air fields in Bulgaria.
The calculation made in Berlin
is that German air forces, starting
therefrom, would find it easier to
rescue italian troops in the noun
tains of Albania or at any rate to
impede and restrict the victorious
advance of the Greeks. At the same
time Nazi Germany, driving merely
the thin end of the wedge into Bal
kan affairs would have good chance
to avoid Turkish and Yugoslav coun-
terstrokes.
Strategy Shaped Year Ago.
The government of Ankara, and,
in a halting voice, the government
of Belgrade have said more than
once, in recent months, that the
entrance of German troops into
Eastern Thrace or into the Salonika
area could hardly fail to bring them
on the move. German diplomacy
believes that they might perhaps
be induced not to treat the arrival
of German planes on Bulgarian soil
as the full equivalent of an INVASION
by the ReichsWehr and that they
would face facts much more quietly
and be amenable to compromise.
Last February, when, for the first
time, the German Fuehrer and his
advisers seriously thought of tam
pering with the independence of the
Balkan states so as to foreStall
whatever intention Gen. Maxine
Weygand and the French govern
ment had then to create an eastern
front" the Quai DOrsay and the
Foreign Office were informed that
the air arm had been chosen as
the easiest and most convenient
means of throwing the German net
over Bulgaria and Rumania. One
years ago, Bulgaria airfields already
loomed large in the picture. They
were to be the starting point of
the pressure to be eXerted upon
King Carol and his country. In
the new circumstances of today, the
same men have still in mind that
the strategy and the tactics of the
air are to be preferred whenever
practicable TO more cumbrous and
outwardly more brutal methods of
intrusion. Anyhow, such a course
of action must not be ruled out OF
account.

The fact that, when shaping her
