HARDYS BEATEN
ON THE COURTS
Lose Doubles Match
to MurdOck and
MaCGavin.

Two tournaments and an exhibition
doubles match yesterday kept both
tennis players and spectators busily
occupied. On the California Club
courts a handicap singles tournament
for men was commenced A handicap
mixed doubles tourney was finished
down to the semi finals at the park. A
special doubles match between the
Hardy brothers and Drummond Mac
Gavin and Percy Murdock was also
played.
OF the thirty-six players entered in
the California Club tournament but
nine were left in the competition when
darkness put a stop to play. The sue
cessful players. with their handicaps.

The exhibition doubles match was the
drawing card at the park and the larg-
est crowd Of the season turned out to
witness it. BY beating the Hardys
rather easily MacGavin and Murdock
showed they did not play up to form
at San Rafael in September. The
Hardys are probably the strongest
team on the coast. 1t is only fair to
them to state that they we're not at
their best yesterday On the other
hand, Murdock and MacGavin put up
a remarkably good game They robbed
the contest of considerable interest by
winning the first two sets easily. The
third set was won by the Hardy broth
ers after fourteen games had been
played. The score in favor of MurdOck
and MacGavin was 6-1, 6-3. 6-8.
In the mixed doubles tournament five
teams are left. Miss VOdden and
