SANTA MONICA
Large Attendance and Exciting Play at the
Tennis Courts

Large Attendance and Exciting Play at the
Tennis Courts
SANTA MONICA, Aug. 27.-Every-
thing at Santa Monica has tennis cast,
with the racket and ball the emblems
Of society. The grand stand was packed
to wellnigh suffocation, with chair,
benches and even boxes utilized for seats
to accommodate the onlookers. The
tennis put up was high grade, all right,
superb. lovely, splendid or capital-I
heard all OF the above criticisms on it.
Play was commenced in the morning
in open doubles, with Welcome and Bell
defeating Barry and Warning; score.
60, 60; and T. Hendricks and r.
Faithful defaulting to Way and Bu-
miller in the first round. In the second
round Burniller and Way easily de-
feated Waring and Acker, 6-2, 6-3.
The finals in the open singles were
played in the morning also, Freeman
being pitted against Picho. 1t was a
pretty game, with brilliant, bold, ag-
gressive and scientific playing in every
set, Freeman showing up in superb form
and putting old-timers in mind OF r. P.
Carter's playing. He was too strong
for his friendly oppon ent and won, 6--5,
GO. 6--2. the score by points being 1o4
to H. this finishing the mornings play.
In the afternoon the grand stand was
ablaze with the wealth and beauty OF
the south. 1t was the same contest as OF
last year, when Bumiller defeated Free
man by score of 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-1,
only this year the Pasadenan wears the
laurel wreath and a new champion has
come to reign In the sunny south. His
name is Louis Freeman, the superb,
all-round Stanford athlete.
Play was commenced in the match
promptly at 2:3o, with D. D. Acker as
umpire and A. c. Way as line man. In
the first set Freeman won, GO; points,
2e-1S. The second set Bumiller cap
tured, 6-3; points. 29-27, and Los An
geles had turn. but it proved to be her
last. Freeman won the third set, Go;
points, 39-32, and the fourth by score
OF e.; points, 31-17. The total score
of the match was CO, 3-6, 60, 6-2;
points, 123 -9e.
Immediately at the close of the cham
pionship round in the all-comers sin
giles, play was commenced in the match
between Braly and Sinsabaugh VS.. We'll
come and Bell in the second round of the
second round Of open doubles, in which
Braly and Sinsabaugh outplayed their
opponents at all points of the game and
won. 6-3, 60; points 26-21. 2o-11.
The finals in the open doubles will be
played tomorrow morning, and the
championship in the afternoon, with
play in the ladies' singles and mixed
doubles during the day. The great
matches still to come are the contest be-
tween Miss Marian Jones and Miss Law
son in the ladies' singles. and the cup
match between Picher and Freeman in
the open doubles. There may also be
an interesting match in the mixed
doubles to be drawn this evening.
Tonight the Santa Monica Silver club
held it's second meeting, the town hall
being crowded and a large number Of
new members reported by the enrolling
committee. 1t has ceased to be craze
and has reached the magnificent proper
tions of ground swell, with new con-
verts daily and intense enthusiasm all
along the line.

SOUTH PASADENA

SOUTH PASADENA, Aug. 27.-The
Baptist church was filled last evening to
its seating capacity with an assemblage.
of intelligent people, to hear the cause
Of equal suffrage discussed. 1t was the
first public meeting Of the Campaign
club, and Mrs. NJ. Y. Longley, the chair
man, presided and made the principal
speech. She contended that the fathers
OF the republic in it's formation did not
intend to. and, in fact, did not, prohibit
the equal right Of women to exercise the
full rights of citizens, including the bal
lot; and, as evidence of it, cited the fact
that the women Of New Jersey did ex-
ercise that right for some years. She
also showed that there was nothing in
the state constitution of California that
prohibited women from voting; that
their exclusion from the polls was only
In conformity to custom and prejudice,
and therefore should be changed by the
adoption Of the constitutional amend
ment submitted to the whole body OF
voters in the state.
Rev. Mr.. Henry, pastor Of the Baptist
church, also spoke in favor of the move
ment, although he had. until recently.
been opposed to It, The church choir
kindly contributed to entertain the au-
dience by few good songs. Many new
members were added to the club.
