TENNIS MATCH
IS HARD FOUGHT
PROBABLY RECORD GAME FOR
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Two Local Players In Santa Barbara
Tournament Require Two Hours
and a Half-Drawing for
Mixed Doubles
Special to The Herald.

SANTA BARBARA, July 26.-The
play was continued in the Santa
Barbara tennis tournament yesterday
morning with twenty-four players still
left i'm the mems singles event and nine
in the Junior singles.
The management has done everything
in it's power to speed the tournament,
but it is heavily handicapped by the
fact that only two courts are at its dis
posal, and some very fast playing will
have to be done if the five events are
to be completed by Saturday.
Most of the morning was'taken up by
two -drawn@out matches between
Junior players. Durant, the Mlramonte
player, who has shown UP so well in
his matches thus far, continued his
line of victories by taking Alex Nc
Andrews into camp by a score of As,
rs, 6-1.
The match played on the exhibition
court between Baker and w. Edwards,
two local players, probably holds the
Southern California record for length
of time consumed in a two out of three
set match. Baker won after two hours
and a half of play by actual count. Ed
wards died game, winning the second
set and pulling up from So in the third
set. The eleventh game went to deuce
ten times before Edwards finally
scored the winning point. He also led
at 80, Out at I0lS pO1I1C Baker came TO
the front and won out 81.
Both players made excellent shots at
times during the match, and If 1t had
not dragged it would have done credit
to the junior players.
The drawings for the mixed doubles
were held and few of the preliminary
matches took place during the after
noon. Seven teams are entered as fol-
lows: Miss A. Baker and Roseberry VS..
Tfce. n .,1e oF,I -
Hutton and Gowan VS.. Miss Florence
Sutton and Sinsabaugh; Miss Day and
Frink VS.. Mrs. Bruce and Donnell Miss
Early and Crawford bye.
The match between Condy Jones and
Ralph Noble brought out some fast
play Jones won the first set GA, lost
the second 6-2 and finally succumbed to
Mobiles steadier playing in the, deciding
set.
Up to Semi-Finals
When darkness put an end to play 1t
found the Junior singles completed UP
to the semi-final round and the men s
singles finished almost to that point.
Owing to the failure of Dawson, the
crack Los Angeles youngster, to appear
the junior event seems to lie between
Cab iel and Durant, who have played
consistently throughout the tourna-
nient.
s McAndrews may also make them
hustle as he created a big surprise by
the easy way in which he took young
Spaulding into camp this afternoon.
In the mems singles there were sew
eral strong matches after luncheon
notably those between Braly and Nc.
Duffie and Gowan and Holmes. II
both cases the losers put up game fights

event probably will be fought out be.
tween him and Wayne.
Friday the women's singles anC
doubles will be run off, and in order tt
