TENNIS TALK
Kelley Comeback Astounds Doctors
By c. ALPHoNso SMITH

Two years ago on Labor Day,
William A. (Spike) Kelley, one
Of the areas most enthusiastic
tennis players, suffered an in
jury which nearly took his life
and seemed certain to end his
tennis playing days.
A powerful swimmer, Spike
was riding the waves at Vir-
ginia Beach when a big breaker
spun him around and broke his
back. He was floundering
helplessly when a life guard res
cued him. Rushed to a Norfolk
hospital. Kelley was paralyzed
from the neck down.
Three months after the &C
cident. Spike entered the para
plegic ward of a veterans hospi-
tai as a wheel chair case. Every
day. morning. noon and night.
Kelley did every exercise the
doctors ordered and then some.
After Is months Spike was
able to limp out under his own
steam. He was told he could
do little putting on a golf
green but in another two
months. this indomitable Irish
man was playing nine holes.
Two weeks ago, Spike called up
his good friend. Supreme Court
Justice Hugo Black. and sug-
gested a little tennis. He played
a'Set and a half, completing a
comeback that astounds the
doctors. Spike goes back to
the veterans hospital in Rich
mond whenever he can. He
wants the boys there to know
IT can be done.
In IS. years of following ten
mis-. we thought we had heard
every excuse for losing known
to man. but in the Edgemoor

of the players offered the alibi
to end all alibis. He said his

Johnny Musser is the most
ambitious tournament player
of all the Middle Atlantic pros.
He never misses q sectional
event. finds one-day opens in
the hills Of Pennsylvania that
he attends. and he even played
the Caribbean circuit last win
ter.
Four years ago he spotted an
open date on the tournament
schedule and started a new
open over his home All View
course in Ellicott City, the How
ard County Open. He had
plaques donated. had the XII
wants Club sell program ads
and tickets. and came up with
a purse of about $500.
1t took his own tournament
yesterday to pull Johnny out Of
the longest slump since he be-
came All View pro in 1916. He
has played as much tournament
golf this season, but with All
View in its busiest year, his
mid-week golf was restricted.
Ties Course Mark
Musser had an opening "a,
in which his duties as host pro
cost him a couple of strokes.
But he blazed back in a Ave
under-par 81 that tied the
course record as he won by five
strokes with 141.
After playing the front nine
in 35 in the morning, MuSser
was told a threeSome of anna
teurs was holding up the course.
He borrowed a car, rode out
to catch the threeSome and
warned it to move along.
That upset Johnny somewhat
and he bogied 10. IL and double
bogied Is. But he started con-
centrating on his own golf at
that point and from the l4th
hole of the morning round he
was untouchable.
Retires Trophy
MuSser won $500 and retired
the w. A. Edgar trophy. He
won the tournament last year
with q 139 total.
