s NPWELSH LATONA IN CITY TEAM TILT First Seeded Duo Is Far Outclassed After Win in Opening Set. BY BILL DISMER, Jr. EW partners for each resulted in a new twist to the usual N outcome of a Dooly Mitchell- Barney Welsh tennis rivalry yesterday when the former, paired with Navy Bill Howard, won the City | of Washington doubles championship | #t the Edgemoor Club. ‘To regain a title in the tournament of which he was singles champion for five successive years before checked last season by Welsh, Mitchell led a rally which saw the victors take three straight sets after losing the first to Welsh and his partner, Tony Latona. The scores were 4—6, 6—4, 6—2, 6—2. The somewhat unexpected outcome brought the men's competition in The Star's net classic to a close, and cleared the decks for the start of the Junior and boys' tournament a week from Thursday. It also marked the first time that Welsh had been on the losing end of & major championship match in the District. He won the same title last year with Ralph Mc- Elvenny, now abroad, and quently had been seeded No. 1 with Latona. Mitchell and Howard had been seeded second. Latona’s Errors Hurt. LTHOUGH Welsh and Latona scored one more placement than their conquerors, erratic play on the part of the latter spoiled all their chances for victory. While Mitchell was making only 31 errors, Welsh 32 and Howard 35, Latona contributed 53 miscues to bring about downfall. Looking more like the Mitchell of old than at any other time in the last two years, Dooly found admirable | support in the play of his partner, ‘who won his service eight out of nine times. Howard's record in this re- spect was even better than that of ‘Welsh, who dropped two of his serv- ices in 10 games. Mitchell about split even, winning five and losing four, while Latona could win only one | of his eight. Only one set was close tmoughuut the first, ‘won. The first four games were split, | but with the score favoring him and | his partner at 4-3, Latona won his only service of the day and two games | We later Welsh won on his for the set. Howard and Mitchell got off to a | 8—1 start in the second, but the favorites rallied for three straight games and a 4—3 advantage. It was the last time during the match that they were ahead, however, Mitchell and Howard breaking La- | tona’s serve to tie at 4—4 and then winning on Howard's and cracking Welsh's to deadlock the match. Welsh Prevents Utter Rout. BOTH of the two games won by | ‘Welsh and Latona in the third set were taken on Welsh's service, their rivals building up a 4—1 lead before Welsh could serve the second time, After a 10-minute intermission fol- fowing the third set, Welsh and La- tona were found in the running for | only two games. The score was tied at 1—1 when Howard and Welsh both | won their services, but at that point the eventual winners took four straight to sew up the match. Their streak was interrupted when Mitchell's service was broken, but they, in turn, cracked Latona’s for the match. They didn't hesitate either when match point came along, Dooly gleefully smacking a placement right | between his rivals. conse- | his side’s | which Welsh and Latona | PORTS. T HE EVENING STAR, WASHI NG S%VOLL N INNOVATION in high school tennis competition will be witnessed this afternoon | when the first inter-high tour- nament in history begins on the Monument courts. Never before has a singles tourney, exclusively for high school players, been held in Washing- ton. But with the wealth of outstanding players available, including some of the foremost junior players in the city, the time was considered ripe for such an event. Competition is being limited to 12 from each of the six public high schools, with David Johnsen and Doyle Royal of Roosevelt’s champion- ship team, Jack Hoyt of Western and John Bruns of Woodrow Wilson the |outstanding favorites. Matches will be held from 3 to 5 o'clock daily. Speaking of juniors and boys, both. have a surprise coming when the detadls of The Star's City of Wash- ington tournament, starting next week, are announced. No less than four incentives will be forthcoming. Watch | The Star during the next few | days. NCIDENTALLY, four of the younger boys are being taken to Memphis, Tenn,, for the Southern Lawn Tennis Association’s annual tournament this week by none other than Col. John McClintock, chairman of the National Interscholastic Committee of the U. S. L T. A The good colonel, who made his | first study of Washington's younger | netmen during The Star’s tournament | last year, has picked three locally-bred youngsters whom he considers excep- tionally promising and a newcomer who is playing sensationally his first year here to make the trip. They are Maurice Cowan, John Lincoln and Tom {adden—all Wash- ington boys—and Harry Heffner, the &O “ill Dismer e | said Washington'’s greatest, . N\ ninth nationally-ranking junior who is spending his first Summer here. The tournament at Memphis starts on Wednesday, but all will be back for The Star tour- nament starting a week later. ARNEY WELSH goes in quest of another net championship today. It's the Maryland State tournament at Baltimore, where Barney will seek to impress Marylanders with the same style of tennis which has made him king of the District. A long-range vision of another Doyle star appeared during the past week with the announcement that Fred Doyle, son of the famed Connie, has become the father of a boy. Even with Fred playing doubles in the City of Washington tournament, the news didn't leak out until after Connie was asked to officiate at one of the late matches. “I'd like to,” “but I'm too busy being a grandpa these days.” WE UNDERSTAND that Yelverton (Bill) Garnett, who made such a sensation in last year's City of Washington tournament, will be home from the University of Virginia in time for the Times-Hearst tournament which begins next Saturday. If so, it would be a shame if Welsh were absent, as there appears no one around here capable of stopping Garnett, unless, of course, Gil Hunt could be persuaded to play. Now, there would be a match.

By GeoragE £ HuBER- OUR correspondent is sporting four blisters on each hand, gained yesterday while rowing out to black buoy No. 23 from | 4 Plum Point Beach to see if fish really | had started biting. Fishing in the deep water just past the bugy we had no luck other than bad, being caught | a mile off shore in & thunder and | wind storm. Back in shallow water, however, somewhat protected from the ele- ments, we stopped for a moment and picked up four medium-size hardhead in a short time. These fish had all the Mfdsummer fight to them, hitting the bai% hard and trying for bottom. Biggest scrap of all, however, Was put up by an eel, a big, fat fellow, better than 2 feet long. So much argument did he offer that our light bass rod was bent all over the place and we thought we had a kingfish until it reached the surface. Light tackle is the only thing to use for this type of fishing, because hardhead are far from being a game fish, and to get any sort of sport at all one needs a limber rod and small line. Personally, we use either three or six-thread Ashaway linen and a steel bess rod, and have yet to lose hard- head on that line. Once, while trolling for rock at Solomon's Island with three-thread line, we hung into & big blue, and then it was good-by, but that doesn’t happen when still fishing. Solomons’ Catches Fair. ISHING at Solomons over the week end was better than it has been for two or three weeks, and much better than it was over the previous holiday week end. At that time, you will recall, fish refused to show at all and disappointed every angler who wet a line there. Capt. Harry Woodburn phoned to say that high boat was 54, with most of them running be- tween 20 and 50. Only & few of them ran below that. Luckily the storm which hit a bit further up at Plum Point didn’t get down that way at all. Almost every boat had one or two trout, and one rock was reported, caught while still Ashing. | point to a good trout season, and the Skipper Woodburn says all the signs yellow fins should be hitting in there soon. Hardhead All Around. ATURDAY was a better day than yesterday at most places. Off Breezy Point Beach, near Plum Point, F. E. Dotson of the Interior Depart- | ment, J. R. Wannan and G. W. Peart garnered 66 hardhead weighing be- tween two and four pounds. Catches like that made all up and down the bay probably marked the beginning of the Summer stand of hardhead. They hadn’t been acting so well up | to late last week, but with a change in the moon coming this week we should be in for some real bay angling. | Another good catch is reported from Cape Ann.

TON, [Little Generals More Than D. ¢, L3 BASEBALL TRACK TEAMS STEP FAST Hold Their Own With Big City Schools. BY ROD THOMAS. IME was when suburban high schools about Washington had little or no chance to share athletic honors with Ppublic schools of the big city proper, due to the disparity of student bodies. But at least one outlying school not only is cutting in on the laurel hereabout, but putting some of the Capital’s schools to shame. Washing- ton-Lee of Arlington has just finished a track campaign of which any in- stitution would be proud and its 1937 base ball record is almost as sparkling. Coached by Johnny Baker, former George Washington foot ball star, the Little Generals have won every dual, triangular and quadrangular meet in which they have participated this Spring. They were the top point scorers among the public school squads in the C club games and numbered among their triangular meet victims none other than the city champion, Central. Get Even Wjth Mounts. 'HEY scored a sweet triumph over | Mount St. Joseph's of Baltimore. The Mounts handed the Little Gen- erals the only dual meet defeat they suffered last year by a margin of 12 points. So when the Generals marched against the Mounis this Spring it was with a wicked gleam in their lamps. They bore down to the tune of 83 to 39. Of inestimable help to the Wash- ington-Lee cause has been popular | Jimmy Milks, track captain. Milks, | the outstanding schoolboy quarter and half miler of the year, in the | Metropolitan area, lost only two | races, both in the University of | Maryland interscholastic meet in which he placed second in the 440 and 880. They were tough defeats, | for in them Jimmy made his best | times of the season—51.4 in the 440, in which he was boxed, and 2.5 in | the 880. A half dozen colleges have their eyes on Milks, who is a crack end\ in foot ball, but Cornell has the in- | side track. His dad, Harley H.
