" B—6 Army and Navy Ready to B LEECH CUP PLAY 1S ON TOMORROW Sailors Boast Seven Wins| in Row—Event Resumed After Two Years. Army vs. Navy! Washington's annual version is slated tomorrow with the Leech Cup tennis matches, held annually for the last 11 years, with the exception of 1933 and 1934. Play will be at the Army-Navy Country Club. Conceived by a Washington sports- man, Abner Y. Leech, jr., the matches were forced to lapse the last two vears because of the all-confining activities of the Army in directing the Civilian Conservation Corps. But you can’t keep the Army and Navy separated very long and, re- gardless of the still existing C. C. C., the soldiers insisted on resuming the competition and they have a very good reason. They want, as soon as possible, to attempt to break the stranglehold Navy has held on the beautiful Leech trophy for the last nine years, for not since 1925 has the Army won. Since the matches started, in 1924, Army has won just twice—in the first two years of com- | petition. For the first time since he devised the scheme of annually uniting the services in this way, Leech will not see the matches. He left with his family on a two-week trip only last Saturday and the familiar figure of the silver-thatched court devotee will be conspicuous by its absence. | Big Attendance Seen. EALIZING that the last series of this major net event of the city drew the largest crowd ever to see | a tennis match in Washington, of- | ficials of the Army and Navy Club | are preparing for another record at- | tendance. Supporters of both branches | of the service will be on hand, in addition to the hundreds of local fans, and the gap of two years has done nothing but whet the appetite of the local public for Saturday’s meet- ing The only connecting sporting link between the Army and Navy during that period when the two academies, st Annapolis and West Point, severed relations, the match has been pro- ductive of some of the best tennis Washington sees each year. With the exception of 1926, when they played at the Germantown Cricket Club, the soldiers and sailors always have plaved before Capital faps. In its seven-year victory streak Navy has won all sorts of margins. In 1927 it took the four singles and three doubles encounters to whitewash the Army. Since, however, competition has been keener, but one match hav- ing separated the rivals on two occa- sions. Lieut. Watt a Veteran. E man on the courts this year will be no stranger to Leech Cup followers. Lieut. R. M. Watt has played in every one of the matches, and this year will be in the Navy line- up for the tenth year. Lieuts. McCue, Lymar and Howard all have played for the Middies in the past, but none of :hem can match Watt's lengthy serv- ce. Outistanding for the Army will be Lieut. Dolf Muehleisen, victor in the recent Pacific Coast championships and ranked No. 6 in Southern Cali- fornia. Muehleisen is a veteran Leech Cup player and formed the No. 1 doubles team with Stanley Robinson a few vears back. Maj. R. C. Van Vliet, who won the singles championship of the Army up at West Point early this month, will also be here to help his khaki-clad compatriots in what has been s0 long a losing cause. The match is sponsored by the War ind Navy Departments and also by the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion, of which Joe Rutley is acting as representative. Louis I Doyle, presi- dent of the Washington Lawn Tennis association, will referee.

WRIGHT TOPS JOCKEYS Two Wins at Arlington Put Him Back in National Lead. ‘Wayne Wright, the Rexburg (Idaho) veteran, has regained the lead as the ranking jockey of the year. His two winners at Arlington Park yesterday boosted his total for the year to 124, two more than Joe Wag- ner of Lexington. IN THE STAR JFOR the second consecutive day the Griffs took a double- header from Cleveland, coming from behind in each game to win. Walter Johnson, pinch-hitting in the ninth inning of the first game, singled two men home to tie the score, Washington winning in the thirteenth, 4 to 2. The Nats scored three runs in the last in- ning of the nightcap to win, 4 to 3. By the two victories, Washington jumped to fourth place and boost- ed its season average to an even .500. Umpire Billy Evans was knocked to his knees when one of Johnson'’s fast balls got past Catcher Eddie Ainsmith. As Evans got to his feet, Ainsmith remarked that he got only a flash of the ball as it passed him.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, July 19.—A litile brown filly named Black Helen cast an ominous shadow across Omaha’s path today in his march to the 1935 3-year-old championship of the American turf. ‘They will meet tomorrow with eight others, of the Nation's best 3-year-olds in the $30,000 added Arlington Classic at Arlington Park, with Omaha, if victorious, coming into undisputed possession of the 3-year-old title. In- dications are that more than 40,000 spectators, biggest crowd of the year, will witness the race. Black Helen, owned by Col. Edward R. Bradley of Lexington, Ky., is rated as the most dangerous challenger to Omaha. The fleet little daughter of Black Toney-La Troienne has won six of her seven starts impressively this season, her only defeat coming in an overnight race at Washington Park, when her stablemate, Bloodroot, nosed her out. She has won two important derbles, twice taking the measure of Roman Soldier in winning the Florida Derby and capturing the $25,000 American Derby, in which she led from start to finish.
