first days play in the Ocean Park ten
mis- tournament, which began on the
courts of the ocean Park Country club
yesterday morning The new courts
were ready in ample time for the as
piring wielders Of the racquet and no
delay was caused by the inadequacy
OF the arrangements.
All Of the talent entered maintained
their winning form, no reyersals being
evident, the Sutton sisters, Sinsa-
baugh, Tom Bundy and Fritz overton
all taking their matches when pitted
against the aspirants. The junior sim
giles, the first class to be contested in
the morning, was productive of some of
the most Interesting tennis of the day,
although by no stretch of the imagin-
alton could the efforts of the younger
generation be dubbed anything but 'in-
teresting." The first round and part
Of the second were played Off but there
still remains several matches to be de-
cided before the finals are reached. The
finals In this division seem to lie be-
tween Ward Dawson and A. j. Gowan,
the Harvard school crack and winner
of the County High School league sin
giles title in the recent tournament.
Gowan went up against something a
trihe more difficult later on in the day.
meeting Fritz Overton in the, open
singles, and while the Harvard boy
managed to wrest. a set from the re-
doubtable Overton, Fritz came right
back and took the next two in handy
fashion, s-2. ga
Victory. for Tom ,Bundy
In the second round of the open
singles Tom Bundy and Simpson Sim
sabaugh faced each other across the
net and 1t took three sets to determine
the fortunes of war. Bundy played his
usual heady and effective game and
annexed a long end of the first set,
Ga. Sinsabaugh found himself in the
second set and began to work his net
scraping serve with effectiveness. Sin
sabaugh started off with lead of two
games straight, but Bundy extended
himself and when ten games had been
played there was a "5'eard hanging
on each side of the net, Sinsabaugh
took the deciding two games with clever
placing and neat net work. III -.
But Bundy was not to be denied and
captured the next and deciding set. 6-2.
Y G. Angler, who formerly held the state
tennis title in old Georgia, failed to
materialize as champion possibility.
Angler may have been a real, sure
enough champ" in Georgia, BUT when
he essayed to mystify Collegian Bob
williams with true southern strokes
Robert wasn't impressed at all and
slammed the ball around the court for
a victory in straight sets.
One of the surprises of the day came
, in the defeat Of Harlow Frink by j.
W. Lawrence. Both sets went to Law
renee ga, Frink appearing to be some
what out of form and unable to con-
troll his drives with his usual effective
ness.
Sutton Sisters Triumph
In the ladies' singles, the Sutton sis
tiers went through their opponents in
easy fashion. Florence Sutton defeated
Miss Scott, 6-1, 6-2, In the second
round Alice Early was unable to Sc
cure anything that might be interpret
ed as q. game from Miss Violet Sutton
and the Pasadena maiden added an
other trophy to her fast increasing
store. Eleanor Peralta is the other
likely candidate for the honors in the
ladies singles, but she won both her
matches yesterday by default.
Robert Variel is still in the reckon
ing in the open singles, having defeated
Edward Taylor in straight sets. 6-1,
6-1. variel put UP clean, snappy
game during his debate with Taylor
and should give the other cracks en-
tered In this class something of an
argument in the semi-fnals.
1t viii probably be impossible to con-
elude the turnament Tuetday, as orig
inally planned. the numbei of remain
ing matches to be contested making an
extra half day necessary TO play Off
the finals.
