BIG TOURNAMENT
COMMENCES TODAY
TENNIS CHAMPIONS WILL MEET
AT OCEAN PARK
Long and Gardner Represent the North
and Will Play Against Pick of
Local Racquet Weld
ing Colony

Commencing this morning at o'clock with
the Junior singles, the eyes of the entire tennis
world of the state will be on the courts of the
Ocean ark club, where the Southern Cali
fornia lawn tennis championships Will be de-
cided this week. Not alone is the interest
local, for the presence of Melville Long and
Carl Gardner of San Francisco is causing
northern racquet wieders to sit up and watch
for the returns OF the matches.
Long is the Pacific states and California
champion and he and Gardner will both try
and take home the southern honors when they
return to Frisco next week. Last year the
invaders from the city the bay Jared badly
against such cracks Braly, Sinsabaugh,
Brown, Bundy, Bell and the others who uphold
the honor of the southland. Since then Long
has improved in playing, and he will be po
tent factor in the results of the tournament.
While he will not play in the open tourna-
ment in any of the events. it is expected that
Hal Braly will defend his title as champion
of the south when called upon to do so. A
misunderstanding in this regard caused The
Herald to state yesterday that the champion
would allow his title to go by default, and
this occasion is taken to correct the error.
The entire week will be given over to mems,
women's and Juvenile singles, and the mems
women's and mixed doubles and save in one
instance-the mixed affair-last years cham
pions will be on hand to defend their titles.
At the close of the tournament tennis dance
will be held on Saturday night, and it is
expected to be the feature of the local ath-
letic social season.
