dondo early in July has had an enliven-
ing effect equal to that OF q large dose
Of DR.. Brown Sequard's elixir Of life.
For some months the omnipotent
croaker, (the same who maintained that
Los Angeles could never sustain league
ball, that she had no athletes, etc., etc, J
announced that tennis was back num-
ber; that it was dying lingering death
and soon would be talked of only as one
of the fused o.be's." AlasI i am
sfraid he has missed his call again, for
the outlook was never brighter for this
delightful game than at present.
1t is true that the old Los Angeles
club, whose members have won SO many
brilliant victories, has suffered severe
setback in the loss of its grounds. bat
if anyone judges from this fact that its
members are out of the race, he will be
sadder and q wiser man before many
weeks 60 by.
present, but it's we'll known colors, blue
and white, will be seen we'll to the front
in this season as heretofore, as it's mem
bers are all loyal to and proud of it's
past glories.
There are numerous young clubs,
too, which will send forth their cham pi-
ons this year for the first time. OF these
Pasadena, Riverside and Los Angeles
have several, and some promising mate
rial in each.
The 2-year-olds, as the horse editor
would say, Alhambra, Boyle Heights,
the Olive clubs of this city. Sierra
Madre and San Diego, will swell the
number of players and show what they
have been doing the past year.
Then the score or more of private
courts that have sprung up all over the
country will add materially to the entry
list, doubtless, so that l am afraid Mr..
Croaker will have be shelved this year.
The Redondo tournament will begin
on the 9th of July, continuing four days.
Three years ago the Redondo company
opened its fine courts by tournament,
which was a pronounced success. Last
year the former success was distanced.
and the company promises better time
for this year than ever before.
Handsome prizes will be furnished.
There will be special rates at the hotel
for the players, a tennis ball and proba-
bly, another moonlight fete. The de-
lightful novelties introduced last year
will also be features this year.
players who have attended these tour
Ilaments in the past will be on hand
again this year, bringing their friends
with them.
Although it is too early for all to-
know to certainty whether they wil1
attend or not, those who will probably
be there are as follows:
From the Los Angeles club, Miss
Tufts will do the honors for the ladies',
while Harry Germain, Art Bumiller,
last years champion; Walter Cosby,
Coulter. Tufts, Chase, Manning, Flint
and Cochran will uphold theiro own and,
the clubs reputation.
Flint and Cochran have just return ed

Santa Monica will be represented by
Cawst0n, Routh, Lester and Woodhouse..
Alhambra has quite list of players
of whom Wallace. Halsted Rice, Lane,
Noble and Shankland will probably go.
While it's ladies' team of Misses Halsted'
and Green, if they play, will come very
near taking the ladies-double event.
Pasadena will find representatives IN
Gilmore, Barry, Miss Shoemaker and
number OF younger players whose names

circles Of late, and who may prove to,bs,

The Los Angeles Athletic club and
Olive club have applied for member
