EXPERTS
BEGIN CONTEST
ANNUAL TOURNAMENT OPENS
AT OCEAN PARK
Cracks From Various Sections Of the
State Seek the Champion
ship Of Southern
California

Play In the twenty-second annual
tennis tournament of the Southern
California Lawn Tennis association
opened at the Ocean Park Country club
yesterday afternoon and Will be con-
tinued until Saturday when the finals
in all events will be played.
The play yesterday was in the Junior
singles and in the preliminary round Of
the open singles.
While some of the players did not
show up when their matches were called
no defaults were recorded, as there were
plenty of matches for all courts and the
delinquent ones were given a second
C,.ance.
Play in the Junior singles opened the
tournament and was quickly over as
far as the preliminaries and first round
were concerned, because of the small
entry list.
Northern Expert Wins
The mems singles for the open title
of Southern California developed the
best play of the day.
r. r. Crawford, the San Francisco
expert, brought u. M. Taylor into camp
by the score of SO, 60. The first set
played was taken up by Crawford in
becoming used to the court, and he let
point after point get away from him be-
fore he finally settled into his stride and
began to play the style of ball that
made him feared on the northern
courts.
In the second set and after change
of courts, the northerner did not give
away a point and won with ease in a
love get and in at least two cases with
love games.
AS the tourney now stands Braly,
Browne. Bundy, Foley and Crawford
are expected to fight the matter of
supremacy out, while Spaulding, the re-
cent holder of the Santa Barbara cup,
is thought by many to have chance of
beating Braly somewhere in the tourna-
ment.
Play in the singles will be continued
tomorrow, and during the week the
rounds in the women's singles, womens
doubles and mems singles will be
played.
Saturday the finals of the meet will
be played in all events, and the winner
of the mems singles will challenge Eu-
gene Overton for the Southern Califor-
mia ttle.,

women's singles which will be started

BAILEY TO COME OUT

Washington, Sept. III. The southern
Democratic leaders have decided not to
make an open fight On William len
nings Bryan at this time. This decision
was reached after a couferenre here Of
some Of the most influential southern
ers. As result Of the p,lise sIopte1,
Senator Bailey will not give ut Tile
statement he had prepared, criticising
Mr.. Rran's government ownership sug-
gestion. The prevailing view among He
southerners is that Bryan cannot be
noniisted for President iprlcs5 he drops
his government ownership plank, aud on
reflection the southern leaders decided
that no good could come from 4 gen
eral attack upon the NeisrasEsan at this
time. They are still determined to OPP
pose him in the next national convention
unless he changes his views. The adj
visibility is still under consideration. It
Is evident TO most Observers thar Bailey
would respond to the call ii it should
come to him.

Ing There was no use to look for Che
murderer except In him. He had taken

bank. Indeed. the whole affair was d
| mystery, for what motive could there
be for him to murder the man who
was preparing him for his own place
and whose adopted daughter he was
engaged to marry However flight
was confession, and Everett White
more was execrated as the murderer
Of his benefacter.
Not long after Whittemores disap-
pearance a letter bearing foreign
post mark came for Irene Barrett. She
took Il to her room, read and destroyed
II Barrett's partner, Enoch Crowell
was in charge Of the bank, and Irene
went to him, told him that she desired
to prepare herself to be able to man
age her own interest in the bank and
desired position there. Crowell de-
murred but the girl was persistent,
and he consented.
Irene worked in subordinate places.
but principally studying the principles
on which the books were kept. Nearly
two years after her fathers death she
commenced surreptitiously to 80 to the
bank nights for the purpose or continu-
ing the work while doing which her
father had been murdered. In a peck
ct In her dress made for the purpose
she carried a loaded revolver of large
caliber. One night she went to the
bank with skeleton keys and into what
had been her fathers Office. but now
occupied by CroweIl She entered by
the door leading from the bank. There
was another door leading to the rear
Of the bank. She had opened Crowells
desk and grasped a bundle OF papers
when this rear door opened, and there
stood Crowell Seeing the papers be-
fore the girl, he raised an ak and was
about to bring 1t down on her head
when she shot him.
Taking up a telephone transmitter
she summoned the police, who found
Crowell dying from bullet In his
chest, near the heart. Before bis death
he confessed that he was involved,
that he had killed his partner in the
same way he lad intended TO kill Irene
to prevent his affairs from being
known and to get control IN order the
better to conceal them.
The next day Captain Seymour was
called before his commanding officer
and cablegram handed him, giving
him a summary OF the events Of Crow
ellis confession aud death.
Seymour's or Whittemore's reslgna-
ton was accepted at once, and he re-
turned TO America. The meeting be-
tween him and the girl who had taken
up the work her father had begun and |
brought back her lover to his own
identity can only be imagined. White
more had suspected that some ones nc
counts In the bank were wrong and |
had really gone there to investigate
when his stepfather entered At the
risk Of being dragged back to the scat
fold he had written Irene TINT the
secret OF the murder doubtless lay in
this deficiency.
