CHAMPION TENNIS GAMES,
Exciting Sport in the Courts
at San Rafael Draw Large
Crowds.
SUMNER HARDY THE FAvoRITE
The Eighth Annual Tournament to
Find the Best Player in the
Pacific States.

The eighth annual tennis tournament
tor the cham pionship of the Pacific States
commenced yesterday at the Hotel Rafael.
AS usual, the games were witnessed by
large and fashionable audience. The
games on the whole showed decided i'm
provement, and as the rounds are played
off the few who will be left to compete for
the semi-fnals are sure TO give the specta-
tors plenty OF opportunity to guess who
will be the lucky one to meet Samuel
Hardy on the afternoon of the Fourth.
The first match played was between w.
T. Thatcher, late of the New York Tennis
Club, who once was in the semi-fnals at
Newport and A. D. Martin. Thacher won
easily by three sets to love, 60, Go, GO.
Sumner Hardy and r. N Whitney &C.
cupied the second court and attracted
large crowd, as this match was looked on
as feature of the day. The tennis was Of
high order, but more especially on Hardy's
side, as Whitney appeared out of form and
lost the first set by 81. Whitney in the
second set was brilliant at times, but very
uncertain, and only managed to place two
games to his credit. In the last set after
Hardy had secured three games Whitney
limbered up bit and played better tennis
and took four games in succession, making
some very pretty shots, but Hardy took
the next two games. making the match
three sets to love, 81, GO, Ga.
George de Long had an easy victory over
H. W. Crowell, with the score at 81, e.,
60, and A. B. Wilberforce defeated A. E.
Kaeser, 81, 6-3, 6-1.
S. O'Brien won by default from Thomas,
and Allison won by default: rom Holmes.
Bowen beat ]. ]. Crooks, 6-3, Cd, Go,
and Sumner Hardy scored a great victory
by defeating the Eastern player (Thacher)
in three straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, 6-3.
Everybody was surprised at Hardy's play,
which was extremely brilliant, and his
vollying brought down the gallery time
and again.
The next match was between De Long
and Wherefore and the former had
narrow escape from defeat. After winning
the first set De Longs friends thought he
had an easy victory, but WilberfQrce pulled
up in the second set and much to every
ones surprise won it at So. Again in the
third set he led at 81, and after several
hard plays lost it to De Long at IS. Dur
ing the first game of the fourth set. there
was a dispute as to a point and Wilber-
force let down completely and only took
one game. Score: 60, 6-8, IS, 81, in
favor of De Long.
George Whitney and Magee were next
before the courts, and Whitney, after play
ing a very brilliant game, won with the
score of three sets to one: 6-3, So, 6-3,
IS.
Byxbee defeated Archibald easily, and
Allison won from O'Brien: 6-3, 60, 81.
The games to-day will be interesting, as
they are narrowing down now to see who
will be the runner-up. 1t is thought that
Sumner Hardy will be the victor, but Ali
son and Whitney both hold good chance
of meeting Samuel Hardy on Thursday.

In commenting upon the facilities of
the Newport News Company 1t says:
Its plant is one OF the most complete
In existence, and, while it Is not gene

leading British maritime journal, of

shipbuilding yards, there is ample
room to float the heaviest draught
