Were There.

Interest keeps up unabated in the
lawn tennis tournament on the Santa
Monica courts, and yesterdays playing
was up to the average of the previous
DAYS work. The attendance yesterday
was not quite so large as that of Thurs
day, and notable fact was that the
spectators were largely of the gentler
sex, who appear to be greater enthusi-
ssts than the men.
The association singles were resumed
yesterday, and some very fine playing
was done. In the game between German
and Woodhouse some brilliant plays
were made, and Mr.. German, with his
swift drives and brilliant backhand
strokes, won the game; score, 6-2, 60.
His play was frequently applauded by
the audience, and he certainly deserved
the applause. II he continues TO play
in the same form he will no doubt win
the association singles. This game will
be finished tomorrow, with Manning as
runner up. German plays Cosby, and
the winner plays Lester; the winner of
this match playing Manning in the final
