Galaxy Of Stars Due
For Weeks Memorial
Tank Meet Monday

The memory of A. Earle Weeks,
who probably did more to foster
competitive swimming in the Dis
trict than any other person, will
be honored Monday night when
the seventh annual tank meet
bearing his name is staged at
Takoma Park pool, starting at
8 o'clock.
Entries close tomorrow night
with a star-spangled group en-
pected to compete. Ten events
are on the program.
Weeks, a charter member of the
District AAU and its president
from 1886 to 1943, labored con-
stantly for the sport and was
largely responsible for its high
place in Washington today.
At his death in 1943. the Dis
trict AAU elected to perpetuate
his achievement in the field, and
thus the first Weeks meet came
into existence. 1t has grown into
the Districts largest outdoor
swimming event, and its list of
past winners and record-holders
reads like an aquatic who's who
of the Middle Atlantic area.
On the roster of former meet
winners appear the names of Joe
Verdeur, world champion: Marie
Corridor. the Olympic champ
from New York's Women's SWIM
ming Association; Prince Nufer.

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y, July 81.
Richard (Pancho) Gonzales,
who is showing signs Of regaining
the form that earned him the ma
tional title last autumn. opposes
veteran Frank Shields today in a
third round match of the Meadow
Club Invitational Tennis Tourney.
The young Los Angeles star,
seeking his second straight Mea-
dow Club crown, followed up a first
round bye with a 6-2, 9-7 victory
over William J. Tully, Bronxville,
N, Y. yesterday. He is expected
to have little trouble with Shields,
former Davis Cup player from New
York.
No longer the formidable foe he
used to be Shields needed three
sets yesterday in disposing Of Tom
Boys, New York lad, rs, 3-6, 6-3.
Billy Talbert of New York,
ranked fourth nationally and the
man most observers figure will
meet Gonzales in the final at the
end of the week. also reached the
round of 16 when he defeated
Sidney Schwartz, University OF
Miami. Us, 6-2.
Gardnar Mulloy, the tall Mi
amian who. with Talbert, holds
the national doubles title, won his
second-round match with Straight
Clark. Pasadena, Calf. 60, 6-3.
Mullow is deemed a likely semi
finalist against Gonzales.
Herbert Flam of Beverly Hills,
Calf, who barely missed a tri-
umph over Gonzales at the Merton
Cricket Club last week. kept pace
with the other favorites by beat
ing Jack Geuer, East Orange, N.

An upset occurred when Jack
Tuero of New Orleans. national

mated by Richard L. Gaines, Ed

who has little tournament expert
encet but is captain of the Prince
