Closing Games.

Bumiller was the sole topic of conversa-
tion in and about the hotel and tennis
grounds yesterday, and if the young
victor was of different character he
would be sure to have his head turned
10y the many nice things said of him,
but he takes it so quietly and modestly
that he is winning other praise than
dor his playing. 1t is simply marvellous
that young boy who year ago could
not score the game should jump to the
front in his first tournament. He is the
smallest player on the courts, yet he can
reach farther than any one else, and it
takes a good high lob to 60 over him.
Arnold played with the handicap of
the applause mostly for the other side,
but this is always the case in any
sport, the supposed weaker party hav-
ing the sympathy of the spectators.
Many of his friends think he was not in
his usual form, but there are others
who claim he never played better, so
this can hardly be decided. But his
friends must remember that for
almost the first time he had to
defend his court rather than play the
aggressive and consequently his plays
could not be as effective. Although
Bumiller won this match it is no critic
ri0n that he will win the next one
against Arnold, for there never was
more even match recorded. In five sets
the last one deuce one, each player
got twenty-six games. while Bumiller
won only one more point than Arnold.
The last and deciding game was deuce
one, Bumiller only winning after the
umpire had called deuce three times.
Play began a little earlier yester-
day morning, as many of the
players were anxious to go home for
Sunday. The first match was one in
mixed doubles, between Mr.. and Miss
Halsted, and Mr.. Gilmore and Miss
Shoemaker, of Pasadena. Mixed
doubles makes very pretty game, and and
this set was quite even. The Halsted's
succeeded in winning two straight sets
by the score of GA, 6-3.
While this set was being played the
last round Of the gentlemen's doubles
was going on in the next court.
Arnold and Chase faced Cochran and
Bumiller, SO the two cracks of the day
before were brought together again.
Bumiller showed up somewhat poorly,
while Arnold's net work was better than
usual. Chase played good game, while
Cochran was trifle wild. Arnold and
Chase won in two straight sets.
Mr.. Bettner and Miss Gilliland, OF
Riverside, played Mr.. Cochran and Miss
Tufts. The Riverside team played in
bad form and the Los Angeles team won
two. This left the finish to be played
between the Los Angeles team and Miss
Halsted and Mr.. Halsted. This game
was very one-sided and was hardly in
doubt after the first few games. The
Halsteds played all around their oppo-
ments and won in two straight sets by
the score of 81, 6-3. Cochran seemed to
lose heart, but his partner, Miss Tufts,
played we'll. The features were Hal
sted's net playing and Miss Halsted's
serving.
THEsGENTLEMEN's DOUBLES.
The finish in gentlemen's doubles
was the hardest fought match in the
whole tournament, though it was not as
exciting or as fine tennis as the finals
in the singles. The two teams in this
event were both from Los Angeles and
the applause was very impartial. Ar
mold and Chase played well together and
though their opponents tried to win by
driving most of the balls on Chase's
sside, the latter played we'll and gave
them plenty to think about. The first
set was deuce one, and the fight for the
necessary vantage games was hard and
stubborn. Arnold and Chase won after
the large score of 1910 had been
run up.
The second set promised to be of the
same kind, for the umpire called five
games all again. This one did not last
as long, however, Cosby and Germain
wi in hxy ho &c
luncheon the finishing of the match
took place. Arnold and Chase succeeded
In landing the next set by the score of
Cd. In the next set the other team
made desperate effort to win, and sue
ceeded in making it another deuce one,
but Arnold and Chase stopped them
there, winning the next two games and
the match. The score was, 1910, 10,
81, 70. This was grand match, there
being three deuce sets.
Miss Halstead and Miss Shoemaker
next played off for second prize. The
Young lady from Alhambra won the first
set handily by the score of 81. Miss
Shoemaker braced up in the second set
and the play was fine, but the Pasadena
girl won the set 6-4.
Whe last set was deuce one. Miss
Ealsted showed signs of fatigue as she
had already played two matches of
mixed doubles. She pluckily staid with
it, however, an6 only lost after the score
was 1913.
All the men defeated by Bumiller,
defaulted to Arnold, thus giving him
the seasons prize in gents singles.
Cosby and German played off with
Cochran and Bumiller for second place
in doubles. Cosby and German won,
"a. 4-6, 6-2, and thus was ended one of
