Johnsen Dethrones Welsh in Slashing Tennis Upset in Mid-Atlantic Final
Defeat by New King
First for Barney
Here Since '32
Gameness Tells in Play
Of Young Victor; Farrin,
Howard Take Doubles
Bv BILL DISMER, Jr.
Nineteen-year-old David Johnsen,
Just two years out of the junior
class, made Washington tennis his
tory yesterday when he upset
Barney Welsh, undefeated in local
tournament competition for eight
years, to win the Middle Atlantic
championship at Columbia Country
Club.
Before a large crowd which grew
more and more thrilled as the pros
pects of Welsh's downfall increased,
Johnsen played perhaps the greatest
tennis he ever has shown to de
throne the District's net king in
four sets. Welsh took the first set,
but thereafter it was all Johnsen,
4—6, 6—3. 11—9, 6—3.
In what necessarily became an
anti-climax, the Navy Leech Cup
team of Lts. Bill Howard and Jimmy
Farrin won the doubles champion
ship when they defeated Dick
Murphy and C. Alplionso Smith in
an Alphonse-and-Gaston match.
Although the match went five sets,
all except the first were decided by
one-sided scores, with the Navy
finally prevailing at 4—6. 6—1, 1—6,
6—1, 6—2.
Defeat Ends Long Reign.
Not since Hugh Trigg defeated
him In the public parks tournament
In 1932 had Welsh been beaten in
regular match play here, but John
sen—King David this morning—
combined effectively designed pre
match strategy with great all
around stroking to succeed yesterday
where countless and more experi
enced players have failed.
Probably because of the nervous
strain. Johnsen suffered an attack
of stomach cramps shortly after the
match, but recovered under the ad
ministrations of his admiring father
and came out smiling to receive the
champion's prize.
vv atpcpi/iiig ilia ucivai ui
good grace, simply declared Johnsen
had outplayed him and clearly de
served to win. “In a way. I'm glad,”
said the ex-champ, sipping a cote
In the locker room. "It was get
ting to be quite a strain to sustain
an undefeated record. I would have
liked to have retired that bowl,
though.” concluded the newlywed
barrister, wistfully. Welsh had won
the tournament in 1938 and ’39
and needed one more win to gain
permanent possession of the chal
lenge bowl. The loser then stated
that he would play no more tour
nament tennis until the District
Tournament in August.
Johnsen’s Gameness Tells.
Courage played a large part in
Johnsen’s great victory as he was
forced to come from behind in both
the second and third sets after los
ing the first and often found him
self on the short end of individual
game scores. Although leaving the
court for the usual 10-minute inter
mission after the third set with a
2-1 advantage in sets, Johnsen later
said that he did not feel confident
of ultimate victory until he assumed
a 5-3 lead in the fourth set.
At that, Johnsen broke Welsh's
service to won the match, but not
until the ex-champ staved off the
first match point against him with
a remarkable “get” of a low
bouncing ball in his far comer which
Barney converted into a placement.
With the score 15-40. however,
Davey drove deep to Welsh's back
hand with his opponent standing in
mid-court on the forehand sideline
for the point which evoked spon
taneous cheering from the specta
tors.
Winner Is Versatile.
A booming forehand, an accurate
backhand, a surprisingly effective
service and a fine volleying game
were the contributing factors to
Johnsen’s triumph. Probably never
before in a District tournament
match has Welsh been the victim
of so many placements. Johnsen
being credited with 42 on The Star's
scorecard. Welsh, on the other hand,
made only 23. In addition. Johnsen
was credited with six service aces j
against a player who usually gets
his racket on anything served
against him, while Welsh aced John
sen only three times. Johnsen won
eight love games from Welsh, while
he. in turn, was held scoreless in
seven.
Welsh started off as if he would
rout his younger adversary, taking
the first four games of the opening
set before Johnsen could score.
David retaliated by taking the next
three, but not until midway the
second set did the new champion
catch or pass his more illustrious
foe for the first time.
Johnsen Evens Score.
But with Welsh leading, 3—1. in
the second. Johnsen began a streak
of five straight games to even the
match at a set apiece. Then began
one of the longest sets ever staged
in a local final. Welsh again got
away to a 3—0 lead, but Johnsen,
breaking Welsh’s service in the
seventh game, tied the score at
4—all. From then on, it was give
and-take, with Johnsen holding the
odd game at 7—6 and 8—7 and Welsh
leading at 5—4, 6—5 and 9—8 be
fore Davey reeled off the last three
games to win the set. The set point,
Incidentally, was sensational, John
sen cracking the center service line
with a service ace that Welsh never
.law.
The first four games of the final
set were divided, but Johnsen then
broke Welsh’s service and won his
own for a 4—2 advantage. After
Welsh had narrowed the gap to
4—3, Johnsen won a five-times
deuced game by drawing Welsh into
the net with a drop-shot and then
passing him with a drive to the
corner. Welsh netted the first point
and ousted the third after a place
ment by Johnsen to place himself
on the short end of a 0—40 score
in the last game before losing on
the second match point.
Altogether, Johnsen lost 7 of his
24 services, while Welsh’s service
was broken 10 times in the same
number.

GLfNT KILLER—David Johnsen emulated his biblical namesake yesterday at Columbia Coun
try Club, where he sprang the biggest tennis upset in years by defeating Barney Welsh for the
Middle Atlantic championship i,a four sets, 4—6, 6—3, 11—9, 6—3. It was Welsh’s first loss in
a local tournament in eight years and prevented him from retiring the Washington Post Bowl,
on which he had two legs.

Ladies' Day Fans Up on Game, Cynic Finds
Claim Right to Discuss Fashions if Men Talk Politics
»y dill wnilxj,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, July 6.—You can
safely razz politicians, ham act
ors, the Brooklyn Dodgers or
your golf partner—but it isn’t
safe to kid the ladies. They
don’t like it.
In a thoughtless moment re
cently we wrote a piece that
ladies go to baseball games pri
marily to discuss fashions and
bargains, and they neither know
nor care much about the game.
Witness now our ‘‘fan mail”
of the past week:
Is #
■\uear uope:
“We just read your story on
ladies’ day. How could you be so
stupid? I can quote batting
averages, lifetime records and
case histories of most of the big
leaguers and I might throw in a
few statistics on the Texas
League. I'm an average woman
fan.”
Another admirer writes:
“You lug—
“The other day I sat next to a
man who thought a batter was
out if the fielder caught a fly on
the second bounce. And you say
«
women don’t know baseball. Why,
I'll bet I could tell you a thing
or two.”
An excerpt from a third billet
doux:
“What’s so criminal about
women talking fashions at ball
games when all the men talk
about is politics and golf scores?”
But the one we memorized was
this:
“Dear Bill—
“Your ladies’ day story was
very good. I laughted myself
sick and though I’ve never been
to a game I know you're right.
Love, Mother.”
