D. C. NETMEN APPEAR
SURE OF MUNY TITLE
Washington's public court netmen
practically clinched the title in the
new Intercity Tennis League yester
day when they won from Baltimore,
6 to 3, in their third start in the loop.
The victory gives the locals a rec
ord of 22 wins in 27 starts, while the
Marylanders are in second place with
18 wins in the same numbeiv of
matches.
Each of the two teams has yet ’to
meet Wilmington, but neither is ex
pecting any difficulty in mopping up
with the Delaware team. Should Bal
timore score a clean sweep over Wil
mington, Washington would still have
to take only six out of nine tilts to
keep the lead at the finish. Wilming
ton plays here on the coming Sab
bath and meets Baltimore a week
later.
> Philadelphia and Chester teams
wound up their league campaigns yes
terday at Chester. The meeting re
sulted in a clean sweep for Philly
racketers.
In the meeting with Baltimore yes
terday at Potomac Park the District
contingent of racket wielders was not
so fortunate w'hen the score was
counted in the annual intercity match,
which was played concurrently with
the league encounter. Out of 15
matches that were played, the visit
ors gained the decision in eight and
won their first leg on the trophy.
