"What lovely day." "what superb
flowers" "Oh, my, what q crswd."
"All Southern California seems to be
here" "Why don't the Chase boys
play ?" were few Of the phrases heard
on the grand stand at the Santa Monica
tennis tournament yesterday, and they
tell the story in few words Of the mag
nificent. tennis put up for the large and
select audience on matchless day in
the most fashionable resort in Southern
California.
The competitors in the great cham
pionship round between the Chase
brothers Of Riverside and the Garter
brothers OF Santa Monica in the all
comers' doubles were determined to win
or die in the attempt.
The players were in superb form and
the afternoon was Q perfect one, not
only for the admiring multitude but for
the players, who nobly recompensed
their friends in the gallery, 90 the band
stand has been termed. and the adher-
ents Of the CLANS Of Carter and Chase
were out in great force to cheer their
representatives, which they did to the
echo.
Mr. J. L. Daily kindly consented TO
act a. umpire, and called play at 2:3O
O'Clock.
The play was spirited in the very first
set, and every stroke known to tennis
experts, every imaginable kind of play
and game was indulged in and every
point of advantage quickly seen and
acted upon by the willy and alert con-
testants. After a hsrd-fought battle,
with many changes, the Chase brothers
won by the score of ga. Their playing
was the pink of perfection and in entire
unison. ~
The second set was commenced in
breathless silence, both sides awaiting
the fret good play. which was one on
the Garter side, and wildly applauded,
and the umpire called forth 10 love.
Then the Riversiders how.ed and ap--
plauded, when II was ID al, and after
such an exhibition of net game and yol-
leying as is seldom seen it stood 30-15,
then 40-15. and when the umpire called
"Game, one love-" Chase brothers in
the lead, the Chaaeites were wild with
excitemeht and the others wore an anx-
ious look. The excitement continued
throughout the. set, until the Chase
brothers finally won by the score Of 6-1,
and their following we're beside them-
selves with Rlee.
Anxiety, hope and fear reigned alter
nately while the third set was being
played, and shoe leather, gloves, epider-
mis- and lung power were all brought
into play by the audience while the
racket wielders play I'D in tho court OF
triumph. rs
The tossing or lobbing Of the Chase
brothers kept the experienced Garter
brothers on the defensive throughout.
The Garter brothers won the set finally
by the score of 81, and it was the first
innings their following had in the grand.
stand to Justify cheer, which they did,
while the Chase adherents focked
around the boys. and had only words Of
golden praise for the young Riversiders.
The fourth set was anxiously awaited
by all anxiously. The players rested
peared they received an ovation, all
nition. The first two games OF the set
were won by the Chase brothers and the
happiness Of their friends was untold,
