ENTRIES IN TENNIS
TOURNAMENT CLOSED
All the Experts of the North and
South Indicate Their Intention
of Playing at Santa
Barbara

A review of the entry list to the fifth
annual tennis tournament of the Hotel
Potter, to be played July 16, II and Is
at Santa Barbara, shows that the best
tennis players of the west, If not in
the country, are scheduled to swing
racquets at this ever popular ltourna-
ment. The committeeman in charge Of
the tournament, consisting of S. M.
Sinsabaugh, A. c. Way and Charles
Hopper, have worked hard in preparing
for the tournament and they are well
pleased with the outlook for what
promises to be the most successful
tournament ever held at Santa Bar
bara.
S. NJ Sinsabaugh will leave for
Santa Barbara on the o'clock train
this morning and will assist in the
drawings tor the different events. An
other fact that causes unusual interest
to be attached to this tournament is
the debut made by many young and
promising players from this section of
the country who, in other seasons, have
held back because they did not think
they were able to compete with the
regular players. Upon being induced
to play, it was found that they in
many respects are equal to the older
players.
