The fine weather attracted many
players to the Park and California Club
tennis courts yesterday. On the public
grounds a handicap doubles tourna-
ment for the three-time cups was play
ed, while at the club courts the day
was given over to practice.
Twenty-six teams entered the doubles
event and at the call of time late in the
afternoon but four were left to COM
pete for the cups. The successful teams
were Norman Ambrose and Marius
Hotchkiss, playing from scratch; A.
Brabant and Stewart Gayness, playing
from the "2-6'' mark; George Bates and
E. p Finnegan, on the "4-6" mark, and
Clarence Foley and Charles Dunlap.
playing from ''3-6' behind scratch. The
handicapping was better than usual. as
the scores show. No one of the four
surviving teams has won the cups.
The Baker brothers, the most heavily
handicapped team. were beaten in
straight sets by Ambrose and Hotch-
kiss. The latter took advantage of the
odds allowed them and won in straight
sets. The winners took all kinds of
chances and broke up the steady game
of their opponents. The first set went
easily to Ambrose and Hotchkiss. but
the second was close.
Will Allen and Clarence Griffin were
called upon to give only lowe 3-6" to
Dunlap and Foley, but the latter beat
them easily.
By far the closest match of the day
was that between Fred Adams and L.
Howell and Charles Teller and r. Parr.
Adams and Howell won the first set
GA. The last two sets were exception
ally long, but both finally went to Tell
er and Parr. The score was 1-6. 1913,
