Be Decided This
Afternoon.

The second days tournament of the
Southern California Tennis association
was a marked success, judging from the
increased attendance, the stand being
too small to accommodate the many
pretty young ladies who came to see
their friends, who were contestants for
the valuable trophies.
The annual business meeting was
held ON Monday night at the Arcadia.
The following delegates were present
Messrs. Cosby and Tufts, Los Angeles
Mr.. Campbell and Mr.. Johnson, Pasa-
dena; Mr.. Gilmore, Riverside; A. H.
Halsted and Mr.. Waring, Riverside, A.
S. Halsted and E. Rice, Alhambra, and
+. e. Ryan, Santa Monica.
President Abbot Kinney presided and
Mr. Cawston acted as secretary. The
chief business was the election OF officers
for the ensuing year, which was held
with the following result:
President, Mr.. Severance, of Los An
geles; vice-president, F. q. Ryan, of
Brookhurst; secretary, r. Ii. Lindsay,
of Pasadena executive committee: A.
H. Halsted,. Riverside, A. L. Halsted,
Alhambra, Mr.. Lester, Santa Monica,
Ed. B. Tufts, Los Angeles.
Every club in the association had a
representative on the ticket and more
satisfactory election of officers could not
have been had.
The grand tennis hop will come off
Thursday night in the ball room of the
Arcadia. Mr.. Tufts, Mr.. Halsted and
Mr.. Lester were appointed committee
to have charge OF the affair.
THE PLAY.
Yesterdays play was called shortly
after O'Clock yesterday morning. Cav
ston and Germain finished set that
they failed to play through on Monday.
Cawston won the decisive set. A
very interesting game was then played
by Osburn and Manning, Osburn win
ming the first set 65, but Manning
played very fine game and surprised
his many admirers by winning. Wood
house and Coulter were the next to face
each other, the latter winning, ga, 6-2
The most exciting of all contests was
between Cosby and Bumiller, the young
Redondo champion being vanquished by
score of 81, 6-5 after hot contest
The defeat of Bumiller created decided
sensation, as it was generally expected
that he would be sure winner after his
brilliant showing at Redondo. Manning
beat Bettner in two straight sets, and
Cawston beat Waring 60, 6-4
The championship singles will be con-
cluded today. The complete summary
will appear tomorrow.
THE LADIES' DOUBLES.
This event created quite a futter
when the contestants came out. The
average tennis votary delights to watch
the lady racquet wielder Miss Tufts,
of Los Angeles, and Miss Shoemaker, of
Pasadena, were arrayed against Mrs.
Woodhouse and Miss Donaldson, OF
Santa Monica. The ladies exhibited
considerable grace and all good plays
were impartially applauded by the spec
tators. Miss Tufts and Miss Shoe
maker proved too strong for their sea-
side opponents, and won by score of
81, 81. The winning team put up an
admirable game, playing together in
irst-class style, all things considered
Miss Tu'ts and Miss Shoemaker
played against Miss Gilliland and Miss
Waring, and won after surprisingly
well-contested match. 1t was generally
expected that the Riverside team would
win. Miss Tufts and Miss Shoemaker
won the first set rather handily by
score of to 2. The next set was a bril-
liant one and both teams made gallant
struggle, but Miss Tufts and Miss Shoe
maker won by score of to 5, thus
giving them the first prize in the ladies
doubles.
The open doubles are still in progress.
Bumiller and Coulter, crack team,
were placed hors de combat in the pre-
liminary round by German and Cosby,
after hot and highly exciting contest.
The results thus far are as follows:

Cosby beat Bumiller and Coulter, 6-5-3-
6-6-4 Cawston andWoolhouse beat Bow
