RACK racketers in both the men's and women's divisions | will open battle for laurels in the annual Wardman Park Ho- tel tennis tournament, which opens to- morrow afternoon on the hotel's courts | at 2 o'clock. It is the last important | tournament of & net campaign here crowded with attractive events. E\’\kks‘ closed today at noon and the draw was to be made this afternoon. Doubles play is scheduled for the first time in the history of the tourney. | It seems assured that Dooly Mitchell and Frances Krucoff, defending cham- pions in the men's and women's sin- gles, respectively, will be offered the sternest battling in the fights to hold their crowns. Both, however, appear to be about at the top of their games and are figured to give all rivals all the opposition they are looking for. Mitch- ell’s most notable feat this year was to finish as runner-up to George Jen- nings of Chicago in the national pub- lic parks tournament here, following his winning of the District parks singles’ title. Miss Krucoff retained her sin- gle's crown in_the annual Women's District Tennis League tournament. In all approximately 60 men and 20 women are expected to compete. Mitchell's chief opponents will be, it | is figured, his old rival, Bob Considine, District singles champion; Tom Man- an, former city title holder; Eddie eomans and Bud Markey, District public_parks doubles standard bearers; Alan Staubly, clever George Washing- ton University player, and Felix M. Sil- va, who, besides belng a hard worker in tennis circles here, also is considera- ble of a player, having recently won the Washington Filipino championship. Those expected to offer Miss Krucoff the stoutest challenge include Mrs. Ruth Martinez, clever little District public parks women’s singles champion, Who was runner-up in the singles in the recent national public parks tour- nament; Josephine Dunham, singles victor in the City of Washington tour- nament; Frances Walker and Mary K. | Burke. \ An unusually fine bunch of trophies will be at stake.

Ad proceeded to chuck two strikes by Kress, then the Brownle isted to Manush. Harris grabbed Liska's bat in the eighth after two were out and banged a dou- ble. Rice, though, flled out.
