At the Casino Courts in the Santa
Monica Tournament
A Much Better Exhibition at the Second
Days Playing Ladies' Singles At.
tract Many Visitors

Iuo ocCOHu udy OI Juo teHn1S tOurNd-
ment at Santa Monica opened with a
bright sunny SKY and promise of bet
ter weather than the players were favored
with on Monday. A much better attend
ance than on the previous day helped to
put ginger into those playing that was
entirely lacking in Mondays exhibition.
Numerous sisters and other fellows sis
tiers lined the court and cheered the IA
vored ones on to victory or jeered the
less fortunate to defeat. To the average
mind there is no mascot like pretty girl.
Play was called at 10 o clock, with Ar
thur Bumiller and A. G. Way, both of
Los Angeles, in the upper court. The
match was good one. Bumiller's strong
volleying meeting with worthy oppo-
nent in Ways steady place game. The
first set was a good one. Way passin e
Bumiller several times at the net with his
side stroke down the line. In the second
set Way got the score of four all, and
then went to pieces and Bumiller won
hands down. Score: 6.3, GA.
Y. Carter, Santa Monica, and J. s. Dag
gett. Pasadena. met on the lower court
and put up one-sided game. Daggett
disregarded friendly tip from one of the
players and put the balls down on Car
tsr's backhand, where they invariably
died. AS conseqn ence Carter took the
match in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1.
David Arnold defaulted to his brother
Paul and that concluded the second
round.
The first game of the third rounu was
the much talked-of Arnold -Bumiller
match. The game proved to be one of
the greatest dlsappointments of the tour
nament. The victory OF Bumiller was a
popular one, but many people had been
confident that Arnold was more than q
match for him, and they naturally oh
iected to seeing their judgment jolted in
this unceremonious manner. The game
lacked in bfilllancy, Arnold beating him.
self and knocking the balls out of the court
and into the net with reckless disre-
gard that made his supporters turn black
IN the face. AT the beginning of the
second set he braced up and began to
play in that easy. confident way that dis
tinguishes him. but he soon lost heart
ana Noodles, the pride of the kindergar-
ten and the joy of the older contingent.
won out anyhow. Score 60, 6-2.
The Freeman-Carter match was far and
away the best match OF the day. Free
mans clever net game and fast, accurate
placing made Carter's splendid backhapd
play of no moment. Though he was
passed at the net several times, he gained
ground on Carter steadily. Carter's mag.
niticent corner drives won frequent ap-
plause, but by good lobuing Freeman
kept him back and won the match.
Score, 6-4, 60.
This result leaves Freeman and Bumil-
Ter to play off the championship, and
tongues are wagging as to the prospective
outcome. Freeman's strong play has
gained him many admirers, and more
than one will remember the hard play he
gave Bumiller last year. However, to.
morrow will put all anxious doubts at
rest.
In the ladies' singles, Miss M. Jones,
Mrs. Chouteau, Miss A. Jones, Miss Shoe
maker and Mrs. Hendricks we're entered,
the last three drawing byes. Mrs. Chou
teau defaulted to Miss Marion Jones. and
Mrs. Hendricks, in we'll played match,
defeated Miss Alice jones. Score, 6-2, 6-3
Miss Marion Jones beat Miss Shoe
maker in straight heats playing clever
game and showing good judgment
throughout the game. Her placing would
not disgrace many an ambitious mascu-
line. and though not as fast. it was quite
as good game as some of the manly
singles that had taken place earlier IN
the aay.
The gentlemen's doubles were started
by Messrs. Pedley and Welcome of Los
Angeles against Messrs. Rowan and Dag
gett of Pasadena. The game was marked
by good playing on the part of Welcome
ana Daggetr, though the heavy drives of
the former were telling at critical
moments. This is Mr.. Welcomes first
tournament. and he will bear watching
for the future. The score was in favor of
the Los Angeles team-6-3. 81.
The Arnold brothers and Messrs. Cosby
and Brooks. all of Los Angeles, was a
long-drawn- out affair with few interest
ing features. The Arnolds played care
lessly and lost.the first set, the opponents
making brave fight. But they recov.
cred and won out in short order. Score,
1912 6-3, 81.
Tomorrow will occur the finals in the
gentlem len S singles, and the doubles and
