SANTA BARBARA, July PA sur
prise developed today in the mems sim
giles in the defeat of Simpson SINS
baugh at the hands of Claude Wayne
Steady play won the match for Wayne
in straight sets, although at times Sins
baughs driving was spectacular
Tracey Crawford a northerner, who
has come south for the Ocean Park
tournament, made good showing, but
was defeated by Ralph Noble In two
sets.
Ideal weather conditions marked the
opening of the Santa Barbara tennis
tournament this morning, a cool breeze
sweeping in from the fog banks across
the bay and holding the temperature
at point agreeable to the players.
Forty-four contestants are entered in
the open singles which breaks all pre-
vious records for a Santa Barbara tour
nament and practically assures sue
cess during the four days of play. With
the suspicious weather conditions and
large entry list it is anticipated that
the tournament will be the most sue
cessful ever held in the history of the
local courts despite considerable bung-
ling on the part of the hotel manage
ment.
The handsome cup offered by the
Santa Barbara Press for the Junior
singles championship attracted great
number of players who attended upon
the assurance that they would be
eligible to compete for the trophy.
Arriving at the hotel, however, they
were Informed that the age limit was
lower than had been represented to
them and that they would be obliged to
content themselves with other events
Play during the morning was con-
fined chiefly to the junior singles, in
which there are twenty-five entries. S.
Spaulding, brother of the Santa Bar
bara cup holder, made a very promis-
ing showing in his match with H.
Chase, winning by the score of 6-2 6-2.
Should he be able to defeat Dawson
the ocean Park junior champion, he
will be regarded as a strong aspirant
for the Press cup.
Although the entries in the mems
events are all large, few women have
entered the tournament, and Florence
Sutton should have an easy time in
winning all her matches.
Several close contests are anticipated
in the mems doubles, in which ten
teams are entered. There will be con-
ISOLATION tournament for players losing
the first round of the mems singles.
