TENNIS TOURNEY
BEGINS TODAY
SEASONS BIG EVENT SLATED
FOR OCEAN PARK
Junior and Women's Singles VIII Hold
Down Courts at Opening Session
Today-Many Players
Entered

Tennis enthusiasts will have their
first real chance of the season to par
ticipate in and watch tournament play
at Ocean Park today, when the annual
competitions given under the auspices
of the Ocean Park Country club VIII
begin. The entry list is filled with
names of the best that Southern Cali
fornia's tennis world can present, and
everything points to successful gath
ering of the racquet wielders.
The tourney will start with the pre-
liminary round of the Junior singles,
and a goodly array of youngsters VIII
be on hand to contest for high honors.
This division of the tourney is con-
fined to players under the 19-year-age
limit, and the work of the coming
champions will be watched with inter-
est by the older division.
The women's singles will also be keen
ly contested. as any one of a dozen
feminine players will have a chance
to connect with the laurels. The fact
that former or present champions are
not allowed to compete gives more
even chance to the contestants all
around, and the very novelty or nav
ing a champion who is not a member
of the famous and clever sutton ram
lily will be a feature unique IN the an
nails of local courts.
sabaugh. Browne Wayne, Bundy, Va
riel and all the others who make up
the crack first division will compete;
Braly, last years champion, returned
from Mexico early last week, ana ms
recent practice on the. Central courts
shows that. the big man will give ms
opponent hard fight before tne
laurels are wrested from him. Judging
from the form displayed by Bell at the
San Gabriel club a few weeks ago ne
will probably be the one to fight it out
with Braly, but there Is a chahce tnat
some one else may step in and upset
calculations. ~,
The mixed and women's doubles Will
be given important places in the llst OF
events. In the recent tourney on the
San Gabriel Country club courts the
mixed events were unusually well con-
tested. and as the same teams have
agreed to play at Ocean Park the Iour
ney which opens today should go down
in tennis history as highly appreciated
as those of former seasons.

CITY TRUSTEES
FILE PETITION
TAKE NO ACTION TO CALL
ELECTION
Merchants Declare Mandamus Pro-
ceedings viii Be Brought if Dis
incorporation Question Is
Not Acted On

OCEAN PARK, July BY simply
ordering filed the petition signed by zzo
voters requesting that the necessary
steps be taken to hold an election at an
early date to decide the d1s1ncorpor@
ton question, the city trustees coii
pletely "buffaloed" the enormous crowu
of spectators who jammed the couiien ~.
chamber and trailed along the nan ~
the entrance of the city nah at last
nights board meeting.
The petition which had in an uIlcoii-
pleted state. but containing twice tne
number of signatures called for py I'd"
to enforce the holding of an electloh'
had been put in the hands OF the trus-
tees a week ago, at which time tne CITY
attorney was instructed to prepare an
opinion on the matter. The opinion was
presented last evening previous 70
definite action being taken on tne Peti-
ton and to most persons appea5eo ~
be a most perpleXng anu
worded document.
Resides advising the trustees agalnst
"undue haste or unreasonable delay
the attorney expresses peWlueIllis
array of terrible consequences tnat may
result from disincorporatioh, ana says
IT am strongly of the opinion that a
sufficient interval should elapse peIore
the election is held to enable tne Voters
TO fully COnSlQeT
mentous possibilities with which 1T is
fraught" -.
The question of property stated to be
worth 81 900, 900 reverting to its donors
is gone into at considerable length by
the attorney, whose words are sum, summed d
IN in the following paragraph from MS
naner. "If am right in this the people
Of Ocean Park are in serious danger of
losing title to all of this vast and Nvalu-
able property-valuable intrinsically
and even more valuable in public own
ership, as such ownership forever in
viii never be marred by unsightly
structures or be made the hawking
ground for street venders or to be occu-
MED by other more or less undesirable
nuisances."
Comment today by members of the
local trade organization and prominent
citizens of the beach was emphatically
to the effect that If the board does not
take steps to call the election at its next
meeting that mandamus proceedings
will be begun to force them to action.
