NOW UNDER WAY
Tennis Tournament Opens
on the Park Courts With
Many Interesting Games
FOUR TEAMS UNBEATEN
Allen and Griffin Earn a
Place in Finals by Max
ing Great Uphill Fight

The handicap tennis doubles tOurna-
ment played on the Golden Gate Park
courts yesterday was the most salts
factory and the most interesting one
held there this year. The poorer teams
were given larger handicaps than usual
and the matches were unusually close.
When the handicaps were arranged
many thought the Handicapped had
been too liberal. but the fact that the
two most heavily handicapped teams
reached the semi-finals shows the al
lOwanceS were not too large.
Late in the afternoon when time was
called four teams were still unbeaten.
The teams that reached the semi
finals and Will meet next Sunday are
Hall and SObey (15). Allen and Griffin
(cwe 15), Long 9nd James (owe 3-6) and
Foley and Dunlap lowe 15.)
The surviving teams had anything
but an easy time disposing OF their op-
pOnents. In their last match Allen and
Griffin put up remarkable uphill
fight. When the score stood set all and
so, 400 against them they did not look
to have a chance. With a little luck
and some good steady playing they
won seven straight games and the set
Sobey and Hall also had a close call
in their last match. The first set they
took by a 1910 score and after losing
the second set 81, took the third easily.
The ether two successful teams won
their final match in straight sets, but
both matches were close. Gayness and
BTabant were beaten by Long and
James. SIS, 81.
Foley and Dunlap won the last tour
nsment and stand an excellent chance
to retain the cups.

well next Sunday as they did yesterday
