SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, MAY 21, .1937. SPORTS. Girl Tennis Ace Makes D. C. Debut in Evening Star Tournament in Honolulu—Tournament Opens Tomorrow. BY BILL DISMER, Jr. GIRL who never has played A has been seeded No. 4 in The Star’s City of Washington women'’s tournament which offcially opens the tennis season tomorrow She is Mary Greason, a young George Washington University stu- dent, who learned the net game in Honolulu, developed her play to a 80 Impressed observers here that she was awarded the last seeded spot in the classic starting tomorrow. Justification for her gaining the recent victory over Sara Moore, local public parks champion and the fourth ranking woman racketer of the Dis- trict. Miss Moore would have recetved ton draw had it not been for her de- feat at the hands of Miss Greason. The newcomer is said to be on a par with Margaret Robinson, defend- champion, and Edith Clarke—seeded in that order. In addition to her con- quest of Miss Moore, Miss Greason's play has been recognized officially six positions on the Middle Atlantic section’s Sears Cup team, on which Mrs. Robinson, Miss Cootes, Miss Clarke and Miss Moore also were G.

May Be Biggest of Season. THUS, on the eve of the tournament, The Star's competition shapes up as a fitting send-off to what may be Washington's biggest tennis season in history. In addition to the presenta- tion of a new “find,” The Star's spon- eorship of the tourney again was responsible for attracting a full draw of 32 women players—a number in excess of the average entry for a women's tournament in the Capital. All but one of the city's first 10 ranking women players are entered. In addition to Mrs. Robinson and the | Misses Cootes, Clarke and Moore, the tournament will be marked by the presence of Mary Ryan, Dorette Miller, Edith McCullogh, Willie O'Steen and Frances Bassett—the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth ranking players of the city. If dope runs true to form, Mrs. Robinson should meet Miss Moore in the quarter-finals of the upper bracket while Miss Clarke would play Miss Ryan in the lower half of the same bracket. Miss Cootes heads the lower bracket and is favored to mest either Mrs. Miller or Miss O'Steen in the quarters. ‘The survivor would. play Miss Greason in the semi-final of the lower bracket, provided, of course, the latter gets by Miss McCullough, ap- parently her strongest rival. Still, the above-mentioned must watch out for such players as Kay Baker, Christine Gawne, Frances Carter, Dorothy Kingsbury and Elinor Finckle-—most of whom have disting- uished themselves in play of the ‘Women's League, which, incidentally, supported the tournament in splendid style. Doubles Entries Open. HIRTEEN of the 16 first-round singles matches are scheduled to- morrow, starting at 1 o'clock. Miss Greason, however, is not ascheduled to play until Sunday, while Miss Cootes will not play until Monday. The op- ponent of the former is the formidable Kay Baker who, as Kay Johnson, was one of the District's ranking stars s few years back. : ix full doubles teams already have signed to play, but entries in that divi= sion will be held open until after the first day’'s singles. They will be ac- cepted up until 6 o'clock tomorrow night and should be made to the com- mittee at the Reservoir courts” The defending champions, Mrs. Robinson snd Miss Clarke, undoubtedly will be seeded No. 1, but three teams loom as possible No. 2 entrants. Miss Greason has paired with Miss Cootes, while Miss O'Steen, the playground cham- plon, has entered with Mrs. Baker. Mrs. Miller and Miss Moore, the public parks doubles champions, also are con- tenders. Entrants are requested to report and pay their singles entrance fee of $2 to Felix Silva. Then they will be directed to courts and given new balls for their match. Entrants are remind- ed that tardiness in excess of 15 min- utes of the time their match is sched- uled may result in their default.

Its & long way away, and that drive over the sand dunes is plenty tought, but they know that on the other side there will be bluefish and channel bass in such numbers and such size as you never have seen before. That is, some- times. You can figure the weather and you can figure the tides; you even can bring in the moon and a rabbit's foot, but you can’t figure the fish. Boy, when those fish are there it is like no place on the coast. Every- body gets plenty. But when they are away there is no drearier or more God-forsaken place this side of the Sahara Desert. Theré are times when the fish are so thick and plentiful that they fight each other for a chance at your feather, but there also are times when you can't get them to bite if you hang a gold-plated bait over the side. Oregon Inlet Experiences. WANT to know how fishing is at Oregon Inlet? Ask Frank Del Vecchio, ask Ted New, ask Roger Planner. For the answers they give you about that blank blank place they could be put out of Sunday School. Continuing your investigation, you might ask William Hubert of Alexan- dria or Representative F. H. Hildebrang of South Dakota. You find that Oregon Inlet is the best place in the world, that the fish are more plentiful and larger and have more fight than any- thing else they have seen. You see, they hit it when the fish were in, the others were not there at the right time, With J. 8. Bartow, William B. Hobbs and C. B. Rollins of the R. F. C., they captured 24 channel bass weighing between 25 and 50 pounds, and 110 blues between 114 and 8 pounds, all in two day’s fishing.

Year after year, season after | | for some time, the time it is terrible, and this season has been one of the most spotty. Last season after that storm which practically ruined fishing for the sea- son, we reported here that the water seemed to be running through the inlet in a different manner, and it may be that the whole bottom has | changed, which of course will change | feeding conditions. | You remember what happened at | Ocean City after a big storm some years ago. It ruined the whole water- front and changed the angling picture Flying Fishing Trip. AME rumor hath it that once again this year Esstern Air Lines will run its famous fishing trip to Miami. This trip proved plenty popu- lar with us last season, and should the event take place again wild horses couldn't keep us back. The idea of the trip was to prove that an angler could leave New York or Washington Iate one day and be fisMing off Miami early the next morning. They cer- tainly proved it to our satisfaction, and we cannot recall a more enjoyable experience. Your correspondent left here at 11 o'clock one night and the next morning by 8 o'clock we had had breakfast, changed our clothes and were trolling all over the Gulf Stream, 5 miles out of Miami, In our party were several anglers who could not spare many days away from the office and they found that by flying down they could spend a| minimum of time away from Wash- ington and yet get in several days of actual fishing for sailfish, tarpon and baracudaa in Florida. There also is another rumor running about town, a dark one. It seems that Bill Briggs will not be included in the jaunt this time. Bill, District manager for Eastern Air Lines, is 8n expert angler and a man who knows his business. Should he de- cide not to go this time it will be just another fishing trip, not the highly enjoyable occasion we had last year.

ENTRAL'S long search for the public high school track championship today appeared to be ended as Coach Hardy Pearce’s crack squad raised a menacing paw toward the crown which has rest- ed rather securely on Tech's head for the past four years. Anticipating considerable aid from Roosevelt and Eastern in events which find it woefully weak, Central reigned & slight favorite to topple Tech fol- lowing Qualifying competition yester- day which found Central placing 19 men in the finals starting today at Central Stadium at 3:30 o'clock. Central Strong in Field. 'OACH ARTIE BOYD of Eastern already had conceded victory to Central, but Pearce was reluctant to view the situation optimistically due to the simple reason that Tech, East- ern or Roosevelt could capture the crown if Central faltered. Tech quali- fied 18 men, while Eastern and Roose= velt qualified 14 and 8, respectively. Tech was regarded as likely to take both the mile and half-mile runs, but Central, outclassed in these races, looked to Roosevelt's fleet distance runners to whittle the defending cham- pion’s margin in each. . Central registered three men each in the high jump and low hurdies, while Tech equaled that in the pole vault and javelin throw. Central's Wilbur Barr loomed as the winner in the javelin, however, eclipsing by far the tosses of his rivals in qualifying. Break for Blue in Dash. OOSEVELT'S misfortune proved a break for Central in one of the 220-yard-dash heats, when Ed Vas- vary ran out of his lane and was disqualified. The qualifying place thus was awarded to Val Machen of Central, & surprise entry, who has been unable to compete in other meets because of a Job. Machen also placed in 100-yard- dash trials. By virtue of automatic fifth places, Roosevelt held the lead as the teams entered the finals, scoring 1!, points to I3 for Central, 100-yard dash. first heat—Won by Machen (Central)’ secoud, Hughes (West- Second ‘neat—Won b; 1); second, Chacos (Cen- : time. 0:10.4."

Ernie Dusek was the only member of the quarrelsome quartet to record a victory last night at Turner's Arena, scoring over the same gigantic Davis who accidentally kicked Ugel, shat- tering his glasses and cutting an eye- lid slightly. Ernie disposed of Davis, who was transformed from a villain into a hero for the evening, through the medium of a body slam after 33 min- utes of viclous snarling. ©Other Duseks fared not so well, how- ever, as Brother Rudy drew with Gino Garibaldi, Brother Joe lost to Joe Cox, who applied a backdrop and body press to win in 13 minutes, and Cousin Wally gave up under the persuasion of Hank Barber's Japanese armlock after 19% minutes. ‘The opener found Mike Mazurki md‘ Irish Jack Donovan twisting to a 30- minute draw. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. CONNIE DOYLE defeated one of the foremosi tennis players of the country when he trimmed Dean Mathey of New York in an exhibition match at the Columbia Country Club, 6—2. Ray Morgan, the Nats’ second baseman, missed his first game of the 1917 season because of a swol- len ankle and the Nats lost their first game in six starts, St. Louis defeating them, 4-3.

ECH'S base ball team today was clinging to a fond hope that Roosevelt will upset Eastern's undefeated nine Tuesday and thus throw it into a first-place tie with the Lincoln Parkers in the public high school diamond series. Assured of second place, Tech, with four victories and one loss, can tie for the title and necessitate a play-off for the championship should Roosevelt defeat Eastern, which boasts an un- blemished record in four starts. Tech Topples Western. ’[‘ECH gained its faint glimmer of hope yesterday by topping Weste ern, 8-4, at Roosevelt Stadium, as Tommy Doonis limited the defending champions to three hits and chalked up 12 strikeouts as Western defeated its own cause with costly bobbles. Ciomei, Fillah and White paced Tech's 10-hit attack, which scored two runs in the first, second and sixth innings. Western grouped two of its three safeties in the first fnning, which, coupled with Tech errors, pushed over three runs.
