Net Stars to Battle
In B.-A. Ambulance
Corps Benefit
Troupe to Carry Great
Records to Edgemoor
Counts Saturday
Washington tennis fans will have
one of their rare opportunities to
see top-flight stars in action Satur
day when a troupe comprising
Wayne Sabin, Bobby Riggs, Mary
Ruth Hardwick and Mrs. Dorothy
Round Little stops - off at Edge
moor Tennis Club on their round
of benefit matches for the British
American Ambulance Corps.
Singles and mixed doubles are on
the program which will start at 3
o'clock. The match should find all
four contestants at their best as the
tour was launched in mid-May and
they have had ample time to polish
their games.
In Riggs, twice national champion
and winner of the last Wimbledon
jamboree, the customers will see
not only one of the game’s leading
strategists, but also one of its most
colorful performers. He quit ama
teur ranks last year to join up with
Don Budge, Fred Perry and Frank
Kovacs and now is devoting his
energy to the war effort.
Riggs has been called a tennis
psychologist because of his knack
of out-nerving his opponent, getting
his “goat” with calm, methodical
shots and forcing him into errors of
commission. He exerts himself as
little as possible and appears to
loaf through set after set. But
when the final figures are posted
Riggs usually is the winner.
Sabin Is Aggressive Player.
Sabin, a native of Des Moines,
Iowa, is, like Riggs, not a heavy
weight, but packs a lot of power
In his shots. His service, smash and
drive are all of the attacking type
for Sabin prefers to leave the de
fensive game to someone else.
Ranked sixth last year, his primary
difficulty seems to be a lack of
patience. His temperament is not
at all suited to poor or mediocru
play. Sabin Isn’t satisfied unless
he’s hitting on all cylinders, winning
and showing his best form.
Mrs. Little and Miss Hardwick
rank at the top of British net
women, with the latter standing
out as the No. 1 player. Unbeaten
by a British player in tournament
competition since 1937, Miss Hard
wick holds honors in the doubles
and mixed doubles of the Scandi
navian championships, Scottish and
South of France titles and has been
a consistently good Wightman Cup
player.
She turned professional last year
to go on tour with Alice Marble.
United States singles champion, and
Bill Tilden, to provide mobile can
teens for sorely pressed citizens of
her home town in England.
Mrs. Little, raised only a stone's
throw from Wimbledon’s famed
courts, a former Methodist Sunday
School teacher, mother of a 3’-4
year-old son, has been teaching the
game to pupils of Lake Erie Col
lege in recent months.
Mrs. Little Wimbledon Star.
She first gained prominence at
Wimbledon In 1933 when she con
quered Helen Hull Jacobs and then
stirred usually unemotional England
to great depths by capturing a set
from Helen Wills Moody in the
championship. The following year
she smashed through to her first
world title, repeating her victory
over Miss Jacobs.
In 193d she won the mixed doubles
crown with Fred Perry, repeating the
next two years, and in ’37 she re
gained her lost singles laurels with
brilliant victories over Miss Jacobs,
Senorita Anitz Lizana of Chile and
Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, the sensa
tional Polish star. Mrs. Little vir
tually dropped out of tournament
play following her marriage in 1937
to Dr. Douglas Little, but when her j
husband was called to the colors she
decided to resume her court career.
A capacity crowd of nearly 1,000i
fans Is expected to witness the ex
hibition. Tickets have been priced
from $1.49 to $4.40 with 15 boxes al
ready sold at a higher fee. Many
prominent members of the diplo
matic corps will attend.
Taxicab service from the District
line at Wisconsin avenue and Chevy
Chase Circle to the club will aug
ment the regular bus service.
The Washington committee spon
soring the event hopes to raise suf
ficient funds to add another ambu
lance for service in this city.
The corps already has loaned two
ambulances to the A. W. V. S. here
and Washingtonians have accounted
for several of the more than 700 the
B. A. A. C. has sent overseas for
service in Britain, Libya, Syria,
China, Australia, New Zealand and
other countries.

Manufacturers Halt
Production Today
Of Steel Clubs
Millions of Golf Sticks
To Become Priceless
Until War Closes
By War Production Board edict
steel golf club production stopped
today in scores of factories scat
tered over the country. In a move
! to save steel and other vital metals
j the Government order has frozen
large stocks of steel shafts, alu
minum sole plates and other metals
which have gone in to golf clubs.
Suddenly the clubs which have
been in the hands of millions of
linksmen become priceless, not to
be duplicated until after the war.
And few replacements are avail
able, although for a few months
golf club sales will continue from
the backlog of production amassed
by the overtime efforts of the manu
facturers to produce in anticipa
tion of the expected ban.
Wooden Shaft May Return.
It won't come for some time, but
the day may arrive when wooden
shafted clubs again will be on the
market and the few skilled club
makers who remain will dust off
their benches and set to work. But
the real rub there will come in
lack of heads for iron weapons.
There won’t be any.
Golfers, even if the war and the
stop-production order lasts 10 years,
can continue the game, however,
with proper care for their clubs.
For modern links weapons don’t
wear out and break only under un
usual conditions.
But one of the local pros got a
rude shock a few days back when
he shipped some clubs to a factory
for reshafting. Back came the
heads with the notation, "See you
after the war.”
For a short time small manu
facturers, such as Bill Hardy of
Chevy Chase, who fashions hand
made clubs, will be able to keep
going from carefully accumulated
stocks. But the time will come
when those stocks vanish and Bill
will be in the club repair business.
Not many of those clever club re
pair men are left. For years this
business has been in the doldrums
as pros shipped clubs back to the
manufacturers for repair.

Net Doubles Strength
Enables Princeton
To Retain Title
Princeton retained its laurels in
the Eastern Intercollegiate Tennis
Association, while Yale’s golfers.
New England champions, defeated
Penn State, the Middle Atlantic
titleholders, to win the Eastern col
lege crown, according to final stand
ings released by Asa S. Bushnell,
secretary of the two organizations.
In winning the Lamed Trophy,
emblematic of tennis supremacy, for
the second successive year, Princeton
defeated six association opponents
and also topped the perennially
strong North Carolina netmen, 5 to
4. It was the Southerners’ first de
feat in 66 contests.
Princeton’s strength lay in its
doubles combinations, no team tak
ing a majority of these matches
from the Tigers. Bob Bender and
Capt. Phil Moore formed the No. 1
combination, Ward Chamberlain and
Hank Canda paired very effectively
in the No. 2 slot, w’hile the third
Nassau entry in the doubles was
Dick Bender, brother of Bob, and
Peck Edwards.
Dick Furlaud, Steve Ham and
Stan Bellows were the singles play
ers in addition to Moore and the
Benders.
Yale, a member of the circuit for
the first time, defeated Pennsylva
nia, Army, Harvard, Columbia and
Dartmouth and lost only to Prince
ton to clinch the runnerup berth.
Army, winning four of seven starts,
was the only other team to finish
above the .500 mark.

Pittman Recalls His Triumph
Over Hogan in Texas Golf
Ben Hogan is one of the biggest of
big shots in pro golf nowadays, but
he didn’t look so big to Gene Pitt
man, Congressional Country Club
champ, when Gene wiped him out
in the Lone Star State Amateur
Championship 10 years ago. Gene
is one of the few men who has
beaten Belting Ben.
It seems that Ben came over to
the Brook Hollow Club of Dallas to
win the State simon pure cham
pionship. He hailed from a Port
Worth club. The two cities are only
a few miles apart, and the rivalry
between them, in an athletic and
business sense, is intense.
Ben shot a 72 and was licked, 2
and 1, by Pittman, who then, as
today, was a handy man with golf
clubs.
“I couldn’t do it now,” said Gene.
"He’d probably whack me about 5
and 4 nowadays, but I did trim him
once.”
Lacey Winner Over
Champ Carlberg
In Ringer Loop
Victory Promises Keen
Scrap for City Title
In Star's Tourney
Irwin Carlberg, District horseshoe
champion, appears a trifle shaky on
his throne following his first defeat
in the Federal League. It was ad
ministered by Clair Lacey, a fellow
Civil Service Commission employe,
who won the city title two years ago
in The Star’s annual tournament
then left town for a year.
He and Carlberg probably will
shoot it out for the 1942 crown in
The Star championships, to be held
in August.
Classification play in the Federal
League, which fires Tuesday and
Thursday nights on the Commerce
Building courts, began last week.
Up to that time Carlberg had beaten
Lacey several times.
The former champ has won four
straight games in Class A with Carl
berg second with a 2-and-l standing.
Ralph Jones of War tops Class B
with a clean slate of four wins, with
Clinton Cozad of Civil Service Com
mission second with 5 and 1.

Reprocessed Golf
Balls in Danger
Reprocessed golf balls about
which we’ve been hearing so
much as substitutes for the
dwindling stocks of spheres made
of new rubber, may come in for
Government ban on manufac
ture. Golf professionals around
town have been advised by one
1 manufacturer to ship stocks of
used golf balls for reprocessing
as quickly as possible.
The manufacturer explains
that an order freezing balata,
the cover material for golf balls,
is anticipated. Balata is that
thin cover you cut when you top
a golf ball.
Up to now the manufacturers
have had plenty of balata.
For months golfers have been
saving old golf balls, giving or
selling them to the pro, who has
shipped them back to the manu
facturers, who stripped the old
covers, recovered the spheres and
put them back In circulation.

Also on the fence, but for an

Johnsen will begin the summer

This year’s tournament greatly re

Fish Biting Contrary to Lunar Theory;
Channel Bass on Virginia Shore
According to the moon, fishing last week should have been
good. It wasn’t. Now, when the lunar promise is weak, not only
hardhead, but stripers are being taken everywhere. True, the rock
aren’t large, but any time it is possible to get 3-pounders, brother,
it’s time to go fishing.
And, suddenly, anglers appeared late this week to be doing
i just that—everywhere. Sam Hanlein and Sid Atlas gave Point
Patience a whirl, and connected with*
74 by way of several gallons of shore
shrimp and Capt. Ed Bowen of
Solomons. By this method even
the pound size are plenty of fun.
Have Luck at Deale.
Down Deale way Louis Clerico,
Hans Maurier and John Mattimore
tried the Herring Bay black can
buoy for hardheads with Capt. Benny
Manifold and after catching 22 large
ones took 11 stripers up to 2l/2
pounds under the point. The Piney
Point schools continue to raise reg
ularly, but that also is true of those
below Black Walnut Point in the
Choptank and off the rocks at
Thomas Point Light.
The great majority of striped bass
everywhere weigh from a pound up
to 3, and appear to be the 1939-40
crops, which were found all over the
bay and river last fall, when they
were just short of being keepers.
Many have been caught off Polo
Point and above the railroad bridge
on the Virginia shore, running with
the spawners. They’re still catching
them, in spite of the muddy water.
Baymen May Be Too Hasty.
Baymen aren’t enthused particu
larly over this summer’s prospects.
The old gas tank isn’t filled so easily
now, and the anglers are holding off
until the big days arrive, which
will be soon. However, instead of
Just giving up, as many skippers
appear to be doing, they at least
might get in touch with their old
fares If only to let them know what
:*
they are doing. We believe that an
other week will find the anglers
active, not in old-time form,
but in numbers enough to fill the
boats left to guide fishing parties.
Channel bass have arrived off the
Virginia Eastern Shore, but the
boatmen aren’t doing much about it.
The best fishing grounds, around
Fishermans Island, are closed to
fishing for the duration but there
are others almost as good. Too. the
big spot-tails will be close under the
beach, within reach of a surf rod,
within a week or two.

The commission's duty, as out
lined by Congress, provides that it
promote a better utilization of At

the development of a joint program
for promotion and protection of the
fishing industry.
While the commission is not a
law-making body, it can recommend
