The absence of Robert Carter and the
non-arrival of the northern players makes
the winner problematical. The victory
Is generally conceded to Paul Arnold or
Arthur Bumiller, but Freeman is a man
who will bear watching. He Will be re-
membered as the man who, with PIcher
as partner, won the doubles handily last
year. The absence of De Long and DrIs
coll, the northern cracks, Is accounted for
bv the fact that De Long had bad fall
at polo. and Driscoll declined to come
down to contest only in the single events.
Games were called at 1880, the first
match oeing between Bumiller and We'll
come, both of Los Angeles. Bumiller
played a strong service line game, keep
ing Welcome on the run. Throughout
the match Bumiller showed fine tourna'
ment form. and looms up as likely
winner of the cup. He won handily in
straight sets, 81, 6-3.
On the other court P,cher and Rowan
of Pasadena put up the best game of the
morning. The former has much better
style than he displayed last year. and
plays with speed and accuracy.
Rowan close, careful game, however,
made the match a most interesting one,
so that it looked for time as il it was
anybody's match. After well-played
game, however Picher took the match
in straight sets, Cd, 10.
In the Paul Arnuld-Crosby match the
formers magnificent form and hard driv-
ing game made the match a compare
lively uninterestlng one. Crosby was
clearly outclassed, and Arnold took the
match in straight sets. G-l, 81.

throwing lobs out o' court ana cutting
service and drives into the net.
Daggett and Pedey opened the after
Moons sport , and between them put up
a good game from the spectators POINT
of view. The first set went to 7 Padley by
good play and the slowness of Daggett.
