The San Gabriel Country club held a
very successful opening day at it's new
home near San Gabriel.
The club house and the grounds were
thrown open and a siX-team round
robin tennis tournament and handi-
cap golf tournament furnished sport
for nearly one hundred visitors
The event of the afternoon was the
round robin tennis tournament. The
tournament was run on a unique basis
under the direction of M. Ill. SlOsson,
and developed a number of surprising
results in the course of the matches be-
tween the six crack teams entered.
Each team played the other five, and
each match was made TO consist of ten
games straight instead of the Tegula-
tion sets The tournament was won by
Sinsabaugh and Browne, after a close
and exciting finish with Variel and
Wayne, who made a surprisingly good
showing against the Venice champions,
leading them by six points to the last
match.
At this point the Sinsabaugh- Browne
combination faced Way and Bell with
only thirty points to the thirty-tiNe that
were chalked up for Nariel and Wayne.
Bell and Way had chance at the
cups If they succeeded in scoring eight
Browne, and the match started with a
rush. The veterans soon dropped three
games, which ended their chances, and
the question remained whether Sinsa-
baugh and Browne could take enough
games to land them ahead of Wayne
and Varel.
The score reached five to four in their
favor, tying the score between the
leaders.
Then Way and Bell dropped the last
game, giving the cups to their oppon-
ents bv a score of 36-35. Naricl and
WAYNE put up the best exhibition of
tennis that they have given this sum-
mer and will have to be reckoncd with
i'm the coming championship doubles at
ocean Park.
