Double-faulting by Ritzenberg at crucial moments hurt his side's cause m the first and third sets, but he more than atoned for these when he led a counter attack which staved off three match points in the four teenth game of the third set and one in the sixteenth, and last game, before succumbing. March and Ritzenberg did not get a lead until 3—2 in the second set, the closest they came to sticking with their rivals in the first ending when Johnsen's service broke a tie and gave his team a 4—3 lead.

Tuckey and F. H. D. Wilde in the doubles. The Americans are favored to win this and thus go into the final day with a 2-1 lead. Just what will happen then nobody's even trying to guess after today. Hare's service probably will give Parker trouble, but the Mil waukee youth should be able to take advantage of Budge's belated dis ' covery that well-placed lobs would break up the Briton's rushes to the Bet. If Parker beak's Hare, then the final match between Budge and Austin will assume the statue of a friendly ex hibition. λ Battle for Mid-Atlantic Doubles Title Bill Breese (left) and Hugh Lyiich in action agavist Alan Blade and Stan McCaskey, whom they beat in the semi finals at Army-Navy Club yes terday.

FULL FIELD READY FOR PARKS TENNIS Precedent Set Here as No Default Mars Opening Play of Meet. A PRECEDENT for local tennis tournaments was set yesterday when, for what is believed to be the first time in the city's history, a major tournament pot under way without one default. The unique situation marked the start of Wash ington's 1937 public parks tournament which found all 72 of its entrants appearing on time and playing· first and second round matches at the Sixteenth Street Reservoir courts. The reason for the appearance of every entrant was traced primarily to the stipulation that all entry fees must, have been paid before a name was included in the draw. Heretofore, some prospective entrants who had not paid fees often defaulted when finding themselves paired with a player whom they considered their superior. Led by Ray Stocklinski, seeded No. 1 player who won two matches, six of the eight seeded favorites advanced into the third round. Billy Contreras. Art Simmons, Erwin Niemeyer. Hugh Trigg and Maurice Goubeau all drew first-round .byes, but defeated their serond-round opponents with ease Trigg's 6—1, β—4 victory over rangy Paul Falconer and Simmons' 6—2, 8—6 conquest of Wiley Gltusmire featured.
