BY BILL DISMER, JR. OR the eighth time in the year history of the tournament a new woman champion of the City of Washington tennis tournament will be crowned tomor- row, when either Edith Clarke or Mary Cootes wins the 1937 title—and The Evening Star Trophy—at the Edgemoor Club. Seeking the title which never has been won more than once by any woman since the tournament began in 1929, Miss Cootes and Miss Clarke, the second and third ranking play- ers of the District and the daughters of colonels of the Marine Corps and | Army, respectively, will start their | championship match at 2 o'clock There is a good chance, too, that both will be found in the title dou- bles engagement, which wiil follow | their singles match, as both were in | the semi-finals this afternoon.

As defending champions, Miss Clarke and Mrs. | Robinson are meeting K: ker | and Willie O'Steen, formidable, but | not expected to stop the cnamps. the other hand, Miss Cootes Mary Greason were called upon to | face Sara Moore and Dorette ‘\h!fm‘i this afternoon, the latter being final- ists last year and the seeded No. 2 team. Both of today’s matches were | to start at 3 o'clock. For Miss Clarke it will be the sec- ond successive year that she has played in the finals of both even! Last year she lost the singles cham- pionship to Mrs. Robinson, who was eliminated in the current tourney by Sara Moore. Miss Clarke, however, avenged her partner's defeat with a 6—4, 6—3 defeat of Miss Moore yes- terday, thus maintaining the tradition that a champion in this tourney never IROOSEVELT RULES SCHOOLS AT NETS Boys Coached by Woman End Perfect Year With 6-1 Win From Wilson. T'S been a long time since—and only rarely in all the history of the school formerly known as Business — that Roosevelt has won a high school champlonship in any sport, but today the Rough Riders are kings of the court—the new inter-high tennis champions! Roosevelt's 6-to-1 defeat of Wilson yes- terday marked the end of an unde- feated season. It isn't hard to trace the reason for the team’s march to glory. Play- ing Nos. 1 and 2 on its five-man squad are David Johnsen and Doyle Royal, two of the finest junior neimen in the District. Johnsen holds the No. 7 Jjunior ranking, and unless all signs fail Royal will be ranked this year. Wins by One Point. IN ONLY one of its five inter- high matches was Roosevelt pressed, and that in the opener, which practically gave it the title. Western, it had been doped out by the Roosevelt members, was the point. Roosevelt split up its No. 1 doubles team of Johnsen and Royal, assigned each a new partner, and each won, giving Roosevelt a one- point victory. Thereafter, in order, were defeated: Central, 5-2; Tech, 4-2, and East- ern, 4-2. That win over Wilson yes- terday clinched what already was ex- pected. Other high school teams haven't been the only ones. to bow to Roosevelt, however, for numbered University varsity and the Ceorge- town freshmen. Coached by Woman.
