the games keeps up in way that must
cause the management to figuratively
stroke its mustache-if it had any-and
pat itself on the back.
The excellent manner in which the
tournament has been conducted is a
subject of comment and congratulation.
Events have been brought off on time
and in every instance some interesting
match has warmed the cookies of the
spectators combined hearts. The ex-
cellent manner in which the program
has been carried out, to the complete sat
isfaction of everyone, is entirely due to
the efforts of John w. Wilson, the tour
nament master.
The first event of the mornings play
was the postponed set of the match be-
tween the Misses Giffen and Hugus
Each had one set to her credit. Miss
Giffen went at the game in a manner
calculated to win, and she did win. Miss
Hugus played a clever game, but her
strokes lacked the force of her oppo-
nent's. The game seesawed back and
forth, Miss Giffen finally pulling the
set out GA. The complete score of sets
was: Ga, 6-S, ga.
This left Miss Giffen to meet Miss Mari
an Jones for the championship round
during the afternoon.
Bumiller and Braly then went up
against Osborn and Young in the finals
of the mems doubles. Some very ex-
cellent tennis was seen in this match
Osborne showing in better form than he
has yet displayed Bumiller and his
team mate showed their superiority al
all close rallies, outplacing their oppo-
nents constantly. The match went to
Bumiller and Braly in straight sets.
6-3 60, 63.
Wilson and Miss Georgina Jones met
and defeated Barry and Miss Hugus in
the mixed doubles. Both of the ladies
played excellent tennis doing their full
share of the work. Miss Hugus was
doubtless somewhat tired from her pre-
vious match, but played cleverly, she
and her partner winning the second set
Of the match. Wilson and Miss Jones
took the third and deciding set winning
the match, 60, 81, GA.
Two interesting events in the after
noon, the ladies' championship and the
championship in the mems doubles, drew
out an attendance equal in point of
numbers and enthusiasm to that of the
preceding day. Some brillinat tennis
was looked for, and the interest in the
events was marked by the "Ohs!' and
"Ahs!" that ran through the grand
stand at some particularly good play
or exasperating miss.
Miss Marian Jones, the present holder
of the title of champion, and Miss Giffen
of Pomona, first played the match for
the ladies' championship. The result
Of the game was never in doubt, Miss
Jones being entirely too strong for her
rival. One thing Miss Giffeb possesses
and that is an extremely good back
hand; but she lacks the easy swing of
Miss Jones playing, and the speed OF
her opponents drives. Miss Jones show
ed accuracy liz placing, as well as speed
and good judgment, serving fast and
covering the court in excellent style. The
match went to her in straight sets, 6-1,
60.
Bumiller and Braly next appeared, to
struggle with Freeman and Pitcher for
the championship in mems doubles.
Some excellent tennis was looked. for in
this match, and in the first set the spec
tators were not disappointed. At times
the game fairly scintillated with good
plays, the grand stand being poised on
its tippy toes in its anxiety to miss none
of the good strokes. Freeman and Picher
took the first game, both men playing
the net Braly and Bumiller also came
up, and the closeness of the four players
kept the ball flying fast on the volley.
The Pasadena men pulled the score of
games up to 4-2in their favor, and then
Bumiller and Braly made stand. Braly
smashed in magnificent style, some times
