1t was an open. scratch singles event, the
success of which was somewhat marred
by the unsettled condition of the weather
All the cracks from boths sides ofotbe bay
were 'entered, thfrty~six in all The nu-
merous defaults were due to the fact that
many: of the players thought the tourna-
ment would. be postponed on account Of

ished match These men are Grant Smith,
VIII Allen. Or: y. Whitney, Carl Gardner.
George Janes; Drummond MacGaSin, ,oHar-
ry Routh, c. Griffin and c. Dunlap.
There were many surprises, some IF the
lower class men showing remarkable form.
The greatest sarprise vas the defeat of
Norman Hodgkinson at the hands of Cfar-
enCe Griffin. The latter won two sets easi-
ly. Hodgkinson IS one of the strongest
players in the first class of the California
club, while Griffin is but a second class
man at5 the park 1t hardly seemed possi-
bic for HodgkinsoG to lose, but the midget
from the park played a remarkable game
kinson was somewhat out of practice, but
was outplayed by Griffin. o.
Herbert Schmidt and Alexander Beyfuss
also covered themselves with glory.
Schmidt came within an ace of beating e.
n. Whitney. He won the second set 6-1 and
in the first set was within, point ofwfp-
ming on three different occasions when the
score stood 5-3 In his favor.
Beyfuss made Charles Dunlap, one9of
the best players from the park, put up his
best game to win. Both setsCwe long
deuce ores, which the veteran barely wona
In both sets Beyfuss had a good lead, bNt
could not~win out.

one-sided, as the cracks were not drawn
together. Following is summary of the
