BY BILL DISMER, Jr. FTER a lapse of two vears, A athletic feud tomorrow when the Leech Cup matches, test of tennis supremacy between the two services, Service Folk of Capital Are | Focusing on Leech Cup Washington again becomes the scene of an Army-Navy are played at the Army-Navy Club. The four singles matches, starting the competition to be completed by three | doubles duels, will start at 2 o'clock. Conceived in 1924 by Abner Leech, jr. president of the old Le Droit Tennis Club and the first Wash- ingtonian ever to hold an official po- fition in the U. S. L. T. A, the matches have grown in importance with the passing of the years. Today, a place on his Service's Leech Cup squad is the highest net honor which can be bestowed upon a soldier or a tar. As usual, military Washington will be represented in all branches by high-ranking officials of both the Army and Navy, including the Secre- taries of War and Navy—or their rep- resentatives—holding front-row seats An invitation to attend the matches | also has been tendered to President Roosevelt. The matches, played annually from ugh 1932, were changed to a status last year when it be- came impossible for either service to bring all of its players here each year. No matches were held in 1933 or 1934 hecause nf the establishment of the Civilian Conservation Corps, tempo- rarily removing many Army officers from their regular posts. Seek Ninth Straight Win. ‘Whether the one-year has changed Army’s luck, or lack of it, remains to be seen, for it is the cause of much chagrin on the part of the khaki that its wearers have not won a Leech Cup match since 1925. That was the second vear of play and gave Army, which also had won the first year's matches, a lead. Navy tied it up by winning in '26 and '27, how- ever, and has not lost since. It will be the ninth straight victory the Mid- dies are shooting at tomorrow Army came close to winning the last time out. in 1935, however, losing only 3-4. and except fo a defeat of its singles champion. Dolf Muehleisen, when he was only 3 points from vic- tory, would have broken the spell of the sailors. Muehleisen will be in Army’s line-up tomorrow, and although no line-ups of the 10-plaver squads have been an- nounced he, in all likelihood. will face Lieut. John K. McCue of the Navy in the No. 1 singles match. McCue, well known here because of his participa- tion in every major D. C. tournament Jast year, has been playing sensational tennis, a victory over Barney Welsh, local champion, last Monday having marked his warm-up tactics for the morrow's match. Other Selections to Come. IN© SELECTION for the other three singles posts and three doubles teams has been made by either Man- ager and Non-playing Captain Lieut. Comdr. D. C.

Tournament in Baltimore, Other With Diamond Tilts Here. NION printers of Washington are whetting their mashies for a brace of tournaments that will keep the composing-room the Capital and Baltimore for two weeks during August in quest of im- portant links trophies, including the Walter Hagen Cup, chief trophy of the Union Printers’ International Golf Association tourney. Two affairs are to be staged this year, where only one was held last | year and in previous years, because ect as Army’s playing captain, and | these four men have until starting time to name their players. | It is a pretty sure bet., however, | that Lieuts. Bill Howard, Jimmy Far- | rin and Dick Dole will join McCue in representing Navy—all being Leech Cup veterans. Navy's squad is com- pleted by Lieut. Comdr. R. W. M. Graham. Lieut. James Worthington, Lieut. M. Halstead, Lieut. O. A. John- | son and Ensign E. A. Grantham | Besides Muehleisen, Army will bank ! upon Capt. Stanley K. Robinson, weil known in local ranks, and Capt.

Samuel Lapsley | Louis I. Doyle, who has handled ef- | ficiently every tournament held in the Distriet this year, will referee the matches. Terry (Continued From Page B-7.) whose triple was the punch that soft- ened Hub for the knockout, had this | to say: | “Hubbell just didn't have anything | on the ball. He didn’t have his control, and he didn't have his stufi. I hit against him in the world series last year, and there was a world of differ- ence between Hubbell in the series and Hubbell in the all-star game. He threw one in my groove, and I belted it.” Dickey Defends Dean. 'HERE was a great deal of post- armistice mirth among the Yankees at the expense of Dizzy Dean, who pitched the home run ball to Gehrig that practically settled the ball game. But Bill Dickey spoke a word in Diz's defense. “He's all right, a fine pitcher,” said | Mr. Dickey. “Of course, I got a lot of | fun out of seeing Gehrig knock his block off. Gehrig was gunning for | Dean. He wanted to get his hit off Dizzy if it killed him, and he did. It was quite a poke. But if Diz hadn't tried to throw that fast one past Gehrig, he might have come through with a shutout. He's a real good | piteher.” The American Leaguers heckled the Nationais for being cheap skates—not | paying their dues toward the support | of sick and aging ball players. Of course, it's a man's own business ‘whether he pays or not, but $10 a year doesn’t seem too much for a very valu- able form of old-age security. I won't press the point, though, be- cause pressure just makes William H. Terry stubborner, and Terry is the backbone of the anti-charity group on st least one ball club in the National League. " (Copyright, 1937, by the North American the golf group of the printers has pulled away from the group which previously jointly sponsored base ball and golf and has gone out on its own. On August 9, 10, 11 and 12 the Union Printers’ International Golf Association tourney will be played at the Rodgers Forge Club near Balti- more, while a week later the Union Printers’ Base Ball and Golf Asso- ciation will stage their own golf tour- ney at Indian Spring. Men not actually printers, but in allied trades, will be eligible to play in the Baltimore tourney, but only holders of 1. T. U. cards will be eligible for the Indian Spring affair. Merkle Is Champion. ED MERKLE, an official of a local printing company, and & member of Columbia and Congressional, won the printers’ national championship at Chicago last year before the split in the base ball and golf groups. But printers from both groups will play in both tournaments, so the split, even though it exists, isn't actual where I T. U. members are concerned. Washington has produced three winners of the printers’ tournament. John E. Voll won the 1929 tourney five years sfter the initial affair in Chicago. Fred Stringer, a Beaver Dam golfer, won in New York in 1934 and Merkle grabbed the Hagen Cup | 1ast year with a victory at the Olympia Fields Club. Back in 1931 Hagen began to take an interest in golf among the members of the printing crafts. He ended by giving a big silver mug to the boys, which now is the chief trophy of the golf group, Quite a lot of the boys in the print shops around Washington can play respectable golf. Cherlie Picco and Serge Folf of The Star can whack the apple around in figures that aren't too obese. Merkle himself is no push- over and Fred Stringer can play a decent enough game. Golt today is one of the big sports among the print- ers, taking rank with base ball as the chief athletic activity. The U. P L G.

Cooper is held at 8 to 1 to win, 4 to 1 to place second and 2 to 1 to take third. Snead’s price is 12-6-3, the same odds as posted for Ralph Guldahl, national open champion. —_— ‘WANT MIDGET RIVALS.

BUT before the paid boys settled on | their championship dates they also worked out a schedule of exhibi- tion matches at the local clubs which will keep a dozen of them busy over | the next two months playing in con- | tests at most of the local clubs. Sev- | eral of them met at Kenwood with Wifty Cox, originator of the exhibi- tion match schedule idea, and worked | out & scheme for holding a match | each Sunday through July, August and September. In many cases the home pro will play in these contests, but the eight men who played at Kenwood last Sunday will form the nucleus of the group. These are Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase, Wiffy Cox of Kenwood, George Diffenbaugh of Indian Spring, Roland MacKenzie of Congressional, Cliff Spencer of Bea- ver Dam, Mel Shorey of East Po- tomac Park, Al Treder of Manor, and Leo Walper, driving range pro.
