STANFORD uNlvERsrr,
TENNIS PLAYERS
OF OTHER DAYS
ON THE COURTS
Tom Driscoll, Will and Gus
Taylor, Hobart and Others
Promise to Appear Again

The oft-discussed question as to whether
the champion tennis players of former
years were as skillfuI as those of the
present day will probably be solved short
~. The Taylors VIII and Gus, Tom Dris-
coll, Walter Hobart and other old-time
experts have expressed their intention Of
again taking up the game. For several
years VIII Taylor was in a class by him
self on the coast At that time Champion
Whitney was a beginner. Those who are
in position to know are all inclined to
think the quality Of the game has ad-
Vanced considerably in the last few years.
Taylor can hardly be expected to regain
his championship form, but it will be pos
sible to judge from his present game how
he would rank with the cracks of to-day.
He would probably be near the top of the
first class. but would have his hands full
beating such men as MacGavin, Collier
and Smith
Young Joe" Tobin created a sensation
last Sunday by his brilliant volleying.
With Gus Taylor as a partner, he easily
defeated Collier and CroWell with small
handicap
If Tobin could bring his back-court
strokes up TO his volleying he would be
a hard man for any of the experts to
beat. Tom Driscoll, eX-champion of the
coast, is another beautiful net player. He
is left handed and puts lots of steam into
his strokes
The handicap doubles tournament held
last Sunday was successful in point of
numbers, but the outcome was unsatisfac-
tory, as the winners-C. Smith and Code
won the cups by playing only one match
They won both the Semi-final and final
match by default.
The tournament committee of the Cali
fornia Tennis Club is planning a novel
tournament. This is TO hold a tournament
for each of the classes on different days
and an inter-class handicap tournament
for the winners Of the classes. The short
ening days and the large entry list make
1t impossible to complete a class tourna-
ment in one day.
The public courts in Golden Gate Park
are being placed in better condition and
in a short time will be as good as any
similar courts in the State. The oiled
courts are much harder than they were
at first and will be in flrst-class order in
a month or two. The courts are particu-
larry fast after a rain. The old band
stand has been removed. In its place is
being erected a fine club house, which
viii be fitted with lockers and showers
1t is the intention of the park tennis
players to hold a tournament on the first
Sunday Of each month. It would be a
good plan for these players to appoint
a tournament committee to handle the
matches There will probably be a dou-
bles match between Collier and CrowelI
of the California Club and Routh and
Dunlap, the park champions, on Sunday.

osBoRNE'S SUCCESSOR
George Heimrod Of Omaha Receives
the AUDointment.

George Heimrod OF Omaha Receives
the Appointment.
George Heimrod, one of Nebraska's
leading German American citizens, has
been designated by President Roose-
welt for the United States consul gen.
eralship at Apia, Samoa. Mr.. Helm
rod had the endorsement Of both Sem
ators Willard and DIETRICH. The APP
pointment is construed in official
circles to be a special compliment to
the German-American citizenship of
Nebraska.
The Samoan consul generalship pays
$1,000 a year and is a post of great re-
sponsibility and trust. The German
government dominates the islands, and
its representatives do not look kindly
upon a United Ssates representative,
going so far as to say that under the
Berlin treaty an American consul at
Apia was not contemplated. The
Washington government, however, ig-
nores these objections as it does the
antipathy of the government to the
appointment by the United States of a
consular representative Of German
birth.
