The Scores.

1t was an eventful day for tennis play
ers. The audience at the tournament
was larger than ever, as great deal of
interest was taken in the match between
the Chase and Carter brothers, as the
latter have never met defeat in tour
nament in America.
At2:30 p. m. the players walked out
on the court and were met by long and
hearty applause. They tossed the ball
| for awhile, then the game commenced.
| The Chase brothers did not exert them
selves in the beginning, letting the Car
ters beat them the first set, and the um
pire called out the score, go.
| 1t was in the second set that the
| Chase brothers began to play tennis, r.
y. Carter making bad play, giving the
| first game to their opponents. Then M.
net, which f.. Carter drives wide Of its
mark. The Chase boys lead by 20.
Carter wakes up and does some
beautiful work at the net, tieing
the score %, for a second, but
the alert. M. 4. Chase kept
repeating his drives at Carter's feet,
| showing him it was not one-sided af-
| fair. l.. N. Chase made beautiful
back hand stroke, which was received
with rounds of applause. But the Car
ters were gradually climbing on them,
the score being 5-5 This is where the
situation began to grow bad for the
Chase brothers, but, amid shower of
cheers, they won the set. Score, 8-6.
| The excitement was intense in the
grand stand, but the spectators did not
know what was yet in store for them.
A number of times did Garter place the
! ball beyond the reach of the youthful
| players, but in the third set the boys
were too much for the Carriers, beating
| them, GA.
The people then gathered in groups
and discussed the game, and a number
| followed the boys to the dressing-room,
| shaking their hands and clapping them
on the back.
AS the players came on this court to
contest the fourth set, the crowd gave
them loud applause. The excitement
at this time was atits height. A num-
ber of times did the spectators hold
their breath, then gave long, relieving
sigh. The umpire called out 't5-4,
Chase brothers lead" Everybody
asks, 80, are they going to win? The
Chase boys worked for dear life. for the
games were nearing an end. When the
umpire called out in favor of
the Chase brothers "6-4," there
was a pause for moment.
then everybody went wild, tennis balls,
| racquets, parasols, hats and even coats
| filled the air, for the Chase boys had
won the day. The crowd made their
way to the center of the court and the
grand stand 'sbuzzed for an half hour in
their praise" The score was 0-6, 8-6,
Ga, GA. IA
This is the first time the Carriers have
1 met their match in Southern California,
and as Mr.. Carter says, it was done by
two Of the best double players in South
| ern California.
Their playing is strictly q net game,
in which both play volley, and is con-
sidered by all experts the hardest game
to play. The boys were born and raised
in Rochester, N. Y, where they got
most of their experience. Both boys
have been playing for about eight years.
Mr.. L. N. Chase says that the reason
we do not turn out more good players
than we do, is because we have really
no professional players to watch and get
points from.

ing Bumiller met his defeat from L. N.
