Smuggy Hursey, Washington mid

Title 10 Herbert;
johnson Scores

It's a long way to Wimbledon, but
DR.. Dave johnson and Lefty Don
Leavens gave Washington fans a
sample of sizzling "eenter court"
action yesterday as the methodical
medicine man blasted his blond op-
ponent out of the District tennis
championship at Kenwood, S6.
81, 6-3. The result, witnessed by
a small but appreciative gallery, left
johnson squarely on the spot, for
today he faced Jim Thackara, who,
in some quarters, is rated an even
money shot to lasso the title aban-
doned by Allie Ritzenberg.
In the womens division smiling
Willie Herbert turned back Char
lotte Decker in two blistering sets,
rs, 6-3, to win the singles cham
.pionship. The two later joined
forces and whipped Pearl Mccoy
and Margaret Sweeney in an uphill
struggle for the doubles crown,
16, 60, g..
Meanwhile, Barney Welsh, the
towns No. l player and peepul's
cherce to take the crown, was down
for q semif1nal match today at 2
pm. that carried a gilt-edge guar
antee of fireworks. Neff biffed
Barney on his well-groomed whisk-
ers In the opening round of this
tournament last year and the thin
man has hankered for revenge since.
Johnsen's supporters thought he
could repeat his City of Washington
victory over Thackara, but others
had an idea Leavens took too much
out of him yesterday. If johnson
wins he'll either be red hot or COM
pletely tagged in the final, for
Thackara was d 'lead-pipe cinch to
go The HINT, II the one-time Argen-
tine champ didn't win. ID
Customers and contestants alike
marveled at the Johnsen-Leavens
duel, for Lefty Don isn't supposed
to be such strong tournament
player and DR.. Dave has been known
to blow sky high under pressure.
But Leavens, who would have beat
en- almost anybody but johnson yes
terday was at his best when the
going was toughest and was In the
running until johnson patted the
winning placement over the net.
johnson, too, gave champion
ship exhibition. time and again
crossing up his rival with drop shots
that laid down and played dead. He
even tossed in a Fritz Mercur" shot
on one occasion when Leavens made
a nice get and was left helplessly
at the net as Dave lobbed a return
to the backcourt. But most of the
time the two simply cranked up
and exploded screeching base-line
drives at one another with amazing
accuracy and boldness. Most fans
thought 1t better tennis than the
previous johnson -Thackara match,
which had been hailed as the sea-
sons high mark. L. F. A.
