Although drawings will not be made
until Friday afternoon answers to the
invitations sent out by the San Gabriel
Country club for their doubles tourna-
ment Saturday are pouring in on those
in charge and from the looks of things
at the present writing the racket wielders
will have most successful and pleasant
day of it.
Already nine teams in the mems doubles
and eleven pairs in the mixed events
have signified their intention of being
on hand when the first service is called at
9 o'clock Saturday morning, and Judging
from the array of talent included in the
list it will be a hard matter to pick the
winners.
The mixed doubles will be unusually in
teresting, and already the following have
decided to play together in an endeavor to
annex the trophies offered by the Country
club: Mrs. Bruce and Bunny, Mrs. Far
quahar and Bell. Miss Sutton and Doeg,
Miss Browne and Variel, Miss Shoemaker
and E. G. Hart, Miss Garland and Boland.
Miss Conger and Browne, Alice Scott and
Bacon. Dorothy Scott and Sutton; Millie

have agreed to combine their efforts
baugh, Variel and Wayne, Sutton and
Doeg. Woodbury. and Hopper K. Mace
and Bacon. Young and Brotherton, Dom
Saturdays tourney will give local en-
thusasts a chance to get a line on the
work of Boland, who will play in, the
recently from South Africa, Where he
was considered an adept at the art of
sending the balls over the net. and his
work on Southern California courts will
be watched with interest. The Joining of
interests by Horace Donnell and John
Holmes will also be a noticeable feature
of the days sport on the courts, as they
should prove formidable adversaries for
many of the older teams.
Popular Players Missing
Among those who will be missed from
the San Gabriel courts will be the Sey-
mours and the Ryan sisters. While they
are usually on hand at the opening of the
local season. Mrs. and Miss Seymour have
yond the usual time, and it is probable
that their appearance on Southern Cali
fornia asphalt will not be made until
late in the the, season; 1ai;t if at all: -,
leave for British Columbia early next
week, are too busy with preparations for
their journey to be able to play Satur-
day. and their clever racket work will
be missed by many. 1t is possible that
they will return here later in the season
and participate in some of the midsummer
tournaments.
Hendricks Clever Work
In addition to the laurels he gathered
against Princeton several days ago, Trow
Hendrick has also taken unto himself the
scalps of the best that Cornell could Of
fer In the line of collegiate tennis cham
pions. Last week Hendrick won the
championship for Columbia against the
Ithaca racket experts, and his work was
surprising even to those who know how
clever Trow can be when he really set
ties down and tries.
In addition to gaining undisputable hon
ors on the courts, Hendrick also made
ball player at the Morningside institu-
tion. He was undoubtedly the best first
baseman in college, and easily made a
time came for playing in the intercol-
legiate games scheduled. Trow was forced
to resign. This Is his first season at
Columbia and as the one year rule is
generally recognized in eastern intercol-
legiate circles, Hendrick was forced to
relinquish his position in favor of an
return to Columbia next year, and then
nothing short of an accident can stop him
from making the varsity.
