ish girl, IS, 8-6. In another ex-
hibition nearly all the 3,428 CUSTOM
ers who paid net gate of s4,672 to
see the quartet of famed tennis
stars, remained to see Bulge and
Miss Hardwick lick Miss Marble
and Tilden in mixed doubles, 60.

invade the University gym. despite
poor parking arrangements, which
were not altogether the fault of the
promoter or the university.
Forced Into Extra Games.
Miss Hardwick, plainly the crowd
favorite, led Miss Marble in the
opening set at A, and had the
former world amateur champion at
set point, only to lose the opening
set at IS. She put up quite as
good a battle in the final chukker,
but this time La Marble didn't let
her get to set point. She pulled out
another tough one, in which again
she trailed at 42, by the final
score of 8-6.
If any woman in the world is going
to lick Marble it will be Miss Hard
wick. But the Marble, win or lose,
is an eyefull. Boys, she is all those

top fight of national tennis.
Bulge, of course, is the master,
the unperturbed carrot top who gave
up future years of undisputed rule
of the amateurs for the more solid
feel of some negotiable frogskins.
Don has done all right, but either
they should keep Bill Tilden out of
automobile accidents which might
hurt that trick knee again, or they
should find Don another playmate.
With all Bills wizardry, and his
tricky shot assortment, he looked
pretty bad against the speed and
day tennis. When Bulge wanted to
win point he stepped out and won
it-either with sheer speed or with
trickery. And Bill simply stood by
and watched 'em bite into the boards
for placements. He couldn't do any,
thing about it.
Bill was great when he had it, but
he doesn't have it today against a
man like Bulge.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-The 28th
annual dog show of the Maryland
Kennel Club opened at the 5th
Regiment Armory yesterday with
a representative entry of TAG dogs,
many of them from the Washington
area. The first nights judging
proved that the Washington owned
entries take their obedience train
ing seriously. In the novice A class,
which had 10 entries, first place was
won by Mr.. and Mrs. John H.
Mullock's Welsh terrier, Peter
Pans Rebel, a dog locally bred as
well as locally owned. In the novice
B class with five entries, first price
went to Mrs. Harvey Browns Dober-
man Pinscher, Herr Faust Won
Brickley, and second to Anne L.
Kondrup's German shepherd, Orla
of Clarandall, another locally bred
dog. The open and utility classes
will be judged today.
Clean Sweep in First Show.
Washington-owned dogs made an
equally impressive record in many
of the regular classes of the show
One of the star entries was Mrs. M
Carter Halls and Milton H. Birds
Irish terrier, Hunters Moon, which
finished with best-of-bree award
This should mean the final points
for his title. Another best-of-breed
winner from the Capital area was
the white bull terrier, Trampfast
modestly entered by his owner, Har-
old F. Stewart, in the novice class
Trampfast defeated an unusually
large entry of his breed to take
winners place, went on to defeat 9
couple of well-known champions
for best of variety and topped il
by defeating the colored bull terriers

The newcomer was a remarkable

an infectious smile and happy-go-

smith in the poem, he cared for no

master and his business as a pri-

leading him along a fairly pleasant

Men, Women Stort Quest
Of Four Crowns in Meet
AT Heurich Court

World and United States cham
pions, an internationally known
trick-shot artist, a professional
dance team and all of the best
players of the Atlantic Seaboard
were the principal ingredients of a
varied field which was to start in
the eighth annual Eastern table
tennis tournament at Heurich gym
early this afternoon.
Four championships and a con-
ISOLATION prize in mems singles were
at stake, with women's singles,
mems doubles and mixed doubles
supplementing the main attraction
mems singles.
Fifty-two male paddlers from 10
cities and a foreign country COM
prise that division which was to in
augurate play at l O'Clock, but the
women's draw. scheduled to get
under way three hours later, was
left open until the last minute.
The greatest and most varied
amount of play in the two-day
tournament Is destined to be played
at tonight's session starting at Z
O'Clock, action for all four divisions
looming every minute. Whatever is
left of the starting field tonight will
be narrowed to semi-final proper
tions tomorrow afternoon in a ses-
sion starting at 2:30 o'clock.
Both semi-finals and finals of all
events are scheduled tomorrow
night.
AS expected, National Champion
Lou Pagliaro topped the mems
seeded list, with five of his nation
ally-ranked fellow-townsmen from
New York rounding out the select
group. The only two seeded players
net from the big town are Laszlo
Bellak and Thor Hazi from Hun
gary, who were classed as small,
but distinct, foreign group.
Trailing Pagliaro in the seedlings
are Ed Pinner, ranked eighth ma
tionally; Sol Schiff, ranked second /;
Charles Schmidt, No. nationally;
Bernie Grimes. No. 9, and Cy Suss-
man, No. f. Pinner and Sussman
were seeded above and below their
national ratings, respectively, on the
basis of their current play.
New York led all out-of-town
cities in representation with 13 en-
tries, although Washington, as host,
had nearly twice as many, %. Four
are here from Baltimore, three from
New Jersey, two from Philadelphia
and two from Delaware with Hart
ford, Norristown (Pa0, Glenbrook
(Conn0 and Silver Spring being rep
resented by one each.
If mems seedlings are borne out,
Pagliaro and Hazi will meet in the
semif1nals of the upper half of the
draw and Pinner and either Bellak
or Schiff in the lower. Stanley
Fields, the District champion who
is conceded a fine chance of going
places, was drawn in Pagliaro's half
with his greatest obstacles to a semi
final meeting with the champ being
fourth seeded Schmidt and the
Hungarian Hazi.
The tournaments defending 2
champions-Pagliaro. Magda Gal
Hazi in women's singles, she and her
husband in mixed doubles and the
male Hazi and Hamilton Canning of
Philadelphia in mems doubles-all
are on hand.

North American Crown
Defender DeudIocked

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Feb. l.
Although Leo Freisinger, Chicago's
perennial speed skating marvel, has
yet to win a race in the current re-
newal of the North American cham
pionships, he shares leadership for
the crown.
Skating yesterday in defense of
the title he won last year, Freisinger
obtained enough second-plac points
to equal the 80 his co-leader, young
Ted Ellenwood of Amsterdam. N. Y,
gained in winning the 220-yard
sprint feature.
Mile Race Dead Heat.
The speedy Chicagoan, former
member Of two United States
Olympic teams, finished second to
Ellenwood in the 220 and then in a
wild scramble at the finish of the
race resulting in dead heat, hurdled
over two fallen competitors for an
other second.
The mile was won by Charles
Leighton, Minneapolis, and Bob
Hackenback, Chicago. Because of
the tie, the two shared first and
second place points, Is each, with
Freisinger being credited with 10.
In the womens senior division

Triumphs Despite Fall.
After easily winning the 220-yard
final, Miss Landry, who last week
won the national title at La Crosse,
Wis, fell while leading in the y =
mile event.
With a lap and a half to go, she
got to her feet, dug in her skates
and, although apparently hopelessly
outdistanced, overhauled the lead
ers and won going away.
Biggest opening day disappoint-
ment, was National Champion Ken
Bartholomew inability to place in
either of two finals. The Min
neapolis speedster finished fourth
in the 200 and fell in the mile while
