TIE Advancement Made By Los Angeles
Tennts Players Something to Be
Proud Of Many Com
ing Players.

Tennis has made wonderful strides in
aSaztiAern California in the past two
xsaSrs. but it will be nothing to what
vssSiE be done in the next two years.
The recent Redondo and Santa Monica
tournaments have brought number of
good players to the front. The Los An
sasles Tennis club carried off the honors.
Ma club on the coast can show up sex
asaete equal to Arnold, Bumiller, Coulter,
.sSe-uain, Cosby and Guy Cochran. One
.San Francisco club may have one, or
assrSsaps two, better individual players,
saae the Los Angeles club can boast of
enaus good performers than any club in
sine state. The Los Angeles players are
sals young, and are sure to improve.
Next year Southern California should
sHrd team to the state tournament.
We may suffer defeat in the singles, but
aa everything else we would certainly
Easwe 8 splendid chance of victory.
Gsmy Cochran has gone east for
es9m2se of years. He is tennis enthus-
aGse. and is sure to keep up his practice.
He will doubtless come in contact with
ngany brilliant players, and should come
ksoaae q finished tennis player.
6sermain showed up in grand form at
ssee Santa Monica tournament. He put
eays q sensational game for a youth of IL.
EAe plays in good form, and with more
experience will be a hot member in the
best of company.
Art Bumiller is a remarkable little
qsSaver. His victory over Paul Arnold
Wlsi long be remembered by the en-
1l1@siasts who watched the battle for
zzse championship at the Redondo tour
zr;arnent. Bumiller has quick eye and
Ssas an abundance of that very neces
ez2g-y quisite-endurance He is one
nj tire coming players OF the west. 1t is
a1Gabtful if any player ever made such
pss0rd as Bumiller did for the time he
LAS practiced the game.
EsaEl Arnold is a player whom Los
.4ngeles is proud of. He came to the
Es0nt very rapidly, and is probably the
hest player in Southern California. He
spk2ys very safe, brilliant game, and
his steadiness at critical points has won
sSa5n2 many a contest. Arnold is quite
-vouag, and has not vet reached the
.sEsziSh Of his fame.
Thee. Coulter, who won the cham
wI0aship at the recent Santa Monica
tournament, eXcels at the net
srzsne. His placing gives his oppo-
sAez7t considerable hustling to negotiate
Al2e ball and gradually tires him out.
THE victory was quite surprise at
.EAnta Monica, as, for some inexplicable
EszsUn, he was entirely overlooked by
fine Guidnuncs. Coulter needs to de-
.sgMG@ his endurance powers, when no
GaHe in the west will have any license to
best him.
Casby is another good player, but
does not always do himself justice. He
asss in fine form at Santa Monica, and
2als work in the doubles with German
Sgxs first-class. His smashing was quite
sE revelation, and evoked considerable
applause. Cosby is dangerous man to
E9n against, even for the best of players.
We generally gives them an argument
Before the sets are finished.
Tile lady players of Southern Cali
ss7xnia excel the northern players. This
E&c1 is admitted by every northern player
esJzG has witnessed tournament at Re-
s2asado or Santa Monica. There are no
ss3ayers in the north who would be in it
VGiSh Miss Giliiland, the present cham
@zon. The writer also thinks that Miss
AEaisted, Miss Shoemaker and Miss
Fats could beat any OF the northern
players.
Mics Halsted is an especially promis-
i2g player. Her improvement in the
pGst six months has been little short OF
s3E3enomenal.
\ There are number of other good
g5aayers not mentioned above, and the
Rznnber of coming players is astonish-
zNgSy large. No team to send north
WF0nld be complete without Cawston, of
Santa Monica, and Halsted, of River
side. Young Merle Manning is another
fgaayer that should not be overlooked.
Me was little out OF form at Santa
Monica and did not do himself justice.
Gazs the near future the wriser hopes that
a tournament will be arranged between
Efze representative players of Southern
,sEss@ Northern California. DAGwoRTH,
