chairman OF the tournament COMMITTEES,
lLNltinS himself. Coast Champion
George James and Bay Counties and san
Francisco Champion Charles Foley to
compete. Murdock VIII not be able 20
go south, but Foley and James win
probably do so.
The Southern California tournaments
viii commence on the S0th inst. on the
Ocean Park courts. near Santa Mon4ca
The three players invited are probably
the strongest and most representative
IN this part OF the State. Murdocix
played in the Southern California tour
n2ment several years ago and, with
Reuben Hunt, won the doubles cham
pionship.
Foley and James would make strong
combination in doubles and would have
an excellent chance to carry Off the
championship. In singles they could
easily hold their own. Foley is un-
doubtedly the cleverest player in this
part or the State, and would probably
arRex the singles championship.
While the southern California players
OF today are hardly as clever es ex-
Champions Louis Freeman and Alfonso
Bell in their prime. they play a fast
article of tennis Harold Braley is the
champion in singles. while Alfonso Bell
and Archie Way hold the doubles cham
pionship. James easily disposed OF Bra
ley at San Rafael last September. Lhe

game at home and did not do himself
justice in the last coast championship

Murdoch is playing great tennis at

able to compete. The tournament will
end August 4. Among those who will
compete are the Sutton sisters Miss

players in the city and should prove an
interesting event.
The handicap doubles tournament
commenced on the park courts last
Sunday and win be completed temor-
row. The final match will bring to-
gether Fred Adams and Charles Foley
and Harold Getz and Stewart Gayness.
The latter will have handicap OF owe
l. 3-6- These odds look to be about
right and the contest should prove close
and exciting. Getz and GayneSs put Up
a strong game last Sunday and cannot
be denied a chance to win. Although
Foley and Adams played well enough
last Sunday 10 win they viii have 10
inpTove to beat their opponents.
