AT OCEAN PARK

Expected to Enter-Finals In

Gabriel

All preliminary arrangements, have been
completed for the twenty third annual
playing of the Southern California tennis
championships, and the courts of the
Ocean Park club have been selected as
the place where the crack racquet WELD
ers of the state will meet. The tourney
will open a week from Monday and con-
tinue until the following Saturday
All the events usually included will
again hold sway this year, and as an
additional feature the management has
added a ladies' special, which was such
pleasing number on the card at the
recent Ocean Park tourney. This event
is for women players who have never
won in an open tournament, and will
draw forth a goodly list of entries.
In the junior events the same rule as
was followed at the last tournament Will
hold sway. This makes the affair open
to all youngsters under nineteen years
of age, irrespective of whether they have
ever gone to the end of the lists in pre-
vious affairs of the kind.
The Southern California Lawn Tennis
association, under whose auspices the
tourney will be conducted, has appointed
the following committees to act in con-
nection with the big event:
Publicity-A. C. .. ay and T. c. Bundy.
Finances. NJ nsabaugh, Eugene
Overton and r. H. F. Variel, jr.
Tournament-H. II. Braly, Nat Browne,
S. NJ. Sinsabaugh, T. C. Bundy and R. H.
F. Variel, jr.
Entertainment-Mrs Robert Farquhar,
Mrs. ]. W. Hendricks, Eugene Overton
and Arthur Bumiller.
The social side of the week will not be
neglected, and it is planned to do things
on a much larger scale this year than at
Of Ct c
and small receptions will be the regular
style in each days doings, and the dance
which will wind up the week will be
much more elaborate in detail than any
of those which have preceded it.
Increased interest will be given to the
tourney by the announced intention OF
many stars of bygone days to once again
enter the lists and give the youngsters
battle. This means that d. c. McGllvray
and John S. Cravens, who have been
absent from the courts for some years,
will be on hand to display their ability
against newer players, and also against
the old guard which has never forsaken
the asphalt.
Many improvements are being made on
the ocean Park courts and the club
members there are planning to entertain
their guests of the week in royal style,
and everything to insure the comfort of
spectators and players will be looked
after.
Melville Long, present holder of the
Pacific States championship, will in all
be asked to come down from
San Francisco and compete in the affair.
Should he decide to come the champion
will be accompanied by another San
Franciscan, probably Gardner, and they
will enter the doubles as a team repre-
senting the northern club.
Entries to the tournament will be re-
,eived by -. c. Way at the First Nation
al bank; S. NJ Sinsabaugh, 1923 West
Third street; and T. c. Bundy, $40 Bumil- |
er building.
