Prelminaries over, the pay Of the
eecond day Of the annual tournament
Of the Southern California Lawn Tennis
association settled down into the busi-
ness like wedding out process which
must proceed the royal battles for the
championships.
The score cards gave promise, amply
fulfilled. of a good days play. The
most interesting match was undoubt-
edly that between Gerald Young and
Cecil Henry In the third round of the
mems challegne series. Young won the
no means an indication Of the kind of
tennis exhibited.
When Young entered the court
against Henry, who is a seasoned
player, the match looked to be one
sided one for apparently little could
be expected of a mere boy when pitted
against player of Henry's age and
experience The first ball over the
net, however, was enough to dispel any
Illusion which may have existed.
Henry's first serve was low difficult
one and barely rose from the ground,
but Young returned it into the tar
corner of Henry's territory. After that
the battle never for a moment Jagged
Young's Great Battle
Most of the games were to deuce,
and then after the vantage, deuce
again. Henrys smashes were returned
carefully, quietly, methodically and al
ways in the difficult corner of the
court Not strong enough to win by
a smashing game, and not at all bene-
fitted by long reach, Young was forced
to make up his deficiencies by foot
work, and the way in which he covered
his court was a revelation.
After the first set Henry rallied and
the pace was too steady, and, although
giving an exhibition of brilliant but
erratic play, he lost the third and de-
cisive set, 6-1.
In the second round of the ladies'
singles Miss Gabrielle Dobbins defeat
ed Miss Elizabeth Ryan. 9-7, GA AS in
the sets between Bundy and Browne,
steady playing won the match over
more brilliant though erratic play.
Miss Dobbins simply stood in the CEN
ter of her court, and by well placed
1obs and side line smashes kept her
opponent continually upon the move,
and gave her very little opportunity to
place her returns.
Other matches in the ladies' singles
were between Miss Peralta and Miss
Seymour; won by Miss Peralta, Sd
6-3, in spite of the fact that she was
suffering from an injury sustained ear
ly in the day.
Florence Sutton appeared on the
courts for her first match, which she
won handily from Miss Scott, 6-1, 6-1
while Mrs. Bruce defeated Mrs. Sey-
mour. 6-3, 6-2.
