DISTINCT threat to the re- tention of the District of Co- lumbia tennis championship by local players in the tourna- ment starting at Columbia on Sa urday has been manifest by an en- try received from Baltimore. According to the Middle Atlantic rankings, Price Colvin, the entrant under discussion, is rated the fourth best player in this section—behind Barney Welsh, Eddie Jacobs (an- other Baltimorean) and Bill Breese, local sensation last season, now out of the city. He is ranked ahead of such local stars as Dooly Mitchell, Tom Markey, Hugh Lynch, Ralph McElvenny and Tony Latona—rated in that order. , Should Colvin crash through to yin the champlonship, it would- be the first time in over three years that any major title has been annexed by & non-resident. The chances against him doing it are 10-1, with every local Detman now at the top of his game. But rankings give him a favored sp With play scheduled to open at 2 o'clock Saturday, Referee Louis I. Doyle hopes to have the first three rounds out of the way by Sunday ight, contemplating completion of e tournament in four or five da; Doubles entries will be held op Bntil Saturday evening, with play starting the following day. HAMPION BARNEY, incidentally, = may have himself another title by the time he plays in the District. Although badly banged up by every injury peculiar to tennis players, the Rockville Rambler is advancing to- ward the Middle States grass courts championship at the Fox Chapel Golf Club in Pittsburgh. Seeded No. 2, Welsh stopped Dr. David O'Laughlin of the host city yes- terday, 6—3, 6—3. But he entered the tournament after spraining his ankle in the finals of the New England championship, which he won at Chicago last Saturday, cutting his hand on the net post i the same match and also after nearly putting his kneecap out of commission by running into an upright. Incidentally, Chicago papers pro- nounced the later Welsh-Riggs match, taken by the latter, as the best of the fational clay courts tournament. 'A LETTER received today from Joseph S. Rutley, treasurer and chairman of the Sanction Committee of the Middle Atlantic Lawn Tennis Association, officially designated .

By that designation, all finalists and semi-finalists are eligible to compete in the tournament for boys and Juniors at Culver Military Academy during the week of July 13. It means that the eight boys and juniors who were found in the semi-final round of the singles tournaments and the eight teams in the same round of the doubles tournaments all are eligible, Only the traveling expenses of those who win sectional champion- ships, as the one starting at Baltimore tomorrow, will be paid, however.
