TOURNAMENT NARROWS
DOWN To CHAMPIONS
Play for Alameda County
Tennis Titles Nears
Completion

The annual tennis tournaments for
the championship of Alameda County
will be completed on the courts across
the bay today. The concluding rounds
will bring together the clevereSt play
ers IN the bay counties and the matches
should prove highly exciting. Charles
Foley. present holder of the singles
championship title, bids fair to succeed
himself. He has won all his matches
cleverly, and the man who beats him
will probably annex the title.
Foley will first meet Fitz Guerin. and
is in no danger OF losing that match
He outclasses Guerin and will win as
he pleases. In the semiinals Foley will
in all probability be opposed to Reuben
Hunt. The latter must first dispose OF
Harold Getz. While Getz has played
throughout the tournament in remark
able form. he can hardly be expected
to take the measure of as tried a player
as Hunt.
The Hunt-Foley match should prove
a good one. Hunt on his Eastern form
would probably figure to win. but
majority expect to see Foley lower his
colors.
In the lower half Carl Gardner and
P B. Delano. the Stanford crack, will
meet in the first match While Card
ner is rather erratic and plays below
form in a tournament, 1t is expected he
will dispose Of the college expert.
Maurice Mclaughlin and Percy Mur-
dock will come together, and the match
should prove one of the best OF the
tournament. 1t will be a rising young
player against a veteran. and It would
be a difficult matter to pick the winner.
Murdock beat ex-Coast Champion
George James easily last Sunday. and
for this reason many look to see him
beat Mclaughlin. The latter has not
won his matches as decisively as he
should have against poorer players. but
as he is inclined to loaf when he feels
confident of winning he may not have
been exerting himself much
Mclaughlin is the most promising
player in this section OF the State and
is expected to win some OF the cham
pionship events this year. Murdock is
probably playing as we'll as he ever
did and will give his younger oppo-
nent a hard rub for the honors- The
into the finals, as either player figures
to beat Gardner.
The final match OF the doubles will
be played in the afternoon. The Oppos-
ing teams will be George James and
Maurice Mclaughlin and Charles Foley
and Carl Gardner. The former have
been playing together for some time.
while Gardner and Foley had never
played on the same side OF the net
previous TO this tournament. As Tar as
team work is concerned. James and Nc
Loughlin will have a decided advan-
tage. Their victory over Hunt and
Murdock last Sunday has caused many
to pick them for the honors. 1t is diff
ficult to get a line on Gardner and
Foley. but as both are clever players
individually and know the doubles
game we'll they will make it interest
ing for their opponents.
Two tournaments will be played on
the local courts today. At the park
the handicap singles event. commenced
last Sunday, will be resumed A handi-
cap doubles tournament is scheduled
for the California Club.

THREE-SIDED CONTEST
IN BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Lowell, Wilnerding and Lick Remain
in the Competition for the
Championslip

The subleague basketball schedule
has resolved itself into a three-sided
fight. Notice was received at the
schools interested that the Polytechnic
High School team had withdrawn from
the tournament. This leaves Lowell,
Wilmerding and Lick to fight it out.
Lick received an awful "drubbing" at
the hands Of Lowell week ago. The
score of IS TO in favor of Lowell had
the desired effect upon the Lick boys.
Heretofore only the younger boys have
turned out for the gymnasium game.
In fact. basketball never was popular
at Lick. The Potrero institution has
taken academic championships in base
ball, football, track, swimming and
cross country events, but has never
done anything remarkable in basket
