 BLOSSOMS FORTH.
Adams and Weihe and Picher and Freeman Will Cross Packets This Afternoon-FinalS
 for Ladies.

If the pony team wins this match l will give & luncheon in their honor," said society matron at the tennis tourna- ment yesterday on the courts of the Ho- tel Rafael. The team referred to consists sf the liliputians, Weihe and Adams, ten- his players and juvenile society men. The team won, and they will no doubt get the luncheon with plentiful supply of tea, which they do not like.
 The championship doubles tournament of the Pacific Coast drew out every yorngster within a radius of twenty miles, and they played some remarkable tennis. Of course there were exceptions, such men as Plcher, Freeman, Dr. Root, | ale and Cole, the latter of whom those on the inside declare 10 be past 30, but he looks and always acts as If ne were in the heydey of 1uveniIity. Then there was the championship singles for ladies, which proved by far the better and more inter- vada, a daughter of the Silver Senator, gave California young women an exhibi, uon of first-ciass tennis and waItzed through the home talent for victory upon victory.
 George and Robert Whitney held the back lines in place and looked critical and patronized the lemonade man for sticks. George said, 70 my. how bum" !" and his brother Robert \. wanted to know if tennis had died with their with drawal from the field of competition Every tennis crank who had the time at his disposal and the inclination was there wielders insinuate themselves into the graces of society and swat balls stuffed with gas. But one man was missed-the attenuated peanut and chewing gum ven der of the past affairs was not on deck. He asked for permit to exhibit himself and supply the spectators with confec- tions, but General Warfield of the ban omitted from the cast.
 The pony team did the playing and the ladies were happy. Weihe and Adams stars" from across the bay picked as the winners of the tournament. The year lings showed that they were not merely the curled darlinss of young society, and rapid succession and the hospital corps carried Murdock and Holmes out on stretchers. Then the ponies champed their bits until they met Brown and Stone in the second match, and their goddess Fortuna did a lot of smiling again. Brown and Stone went under with the band playing In 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 time.
 Messrs. P1cher and Freeman came all the way from Stanford to take the coast honors to Palo Alto. Their first. engage Smith. Root and Smith are an improvised team, never having played together in tournament before yesterday, but after the first set they played together as If they were trained together in harness. The first set was an easy victory for the cardinal, but the second was the match of the day. The score of 11-9 tells the tale and that is why pr. Root will not pull teeth for two days.
 If Weihe and Adams are dubbed ''the pony team" the only name that will ap-- ply to Fletcher Hamilton and Drummond McGavin is colt. The colts shone for a minute and they administered a solar plexus blow on Hunt and Stark, but when they met Picher and Freeman-the score below will tell what happened.
 The ladies tournament was most sue cessful from the tennis standpoint, al- though the entries were few. Miss Marion Jones. a player who has met the celebri- ties of the country on Eastern courts, and who is equal to the best in the land, de- feated Miss Hoffman in a splendid match. Miss Martin defeated both Georgtana Jones and Miss Mason in easy fashion, and will meet Miss Marion Jones to-day In the finals.
