BY GRANT SMITH

Melville Long, singles champion of
the Pacific states, and Maurice Nc
Loughlin and George James, the doubles
They will participate in the western
championship and national champion
tennis tournaments and a number of
lesser championship events.
Tomorrow night Thomas Bundy and
Simpson Sinsabaugh will leave Los An
city at Lake Minnetonka near Mime
apolis. The five cracks from this coast
will make their first appearance on
the other side of the Rockies at that
place, where they Will play in what is
called the northwestern championship
tournament
At the completion of this event Nc
Loughlin and james will go TO On
wentsia, just outside of Chicago, where
they VIII participate in the preliminary
national doubles. There will be only
four teams in this tournament, being
the winners of the eastern, western.
southern and Paclnc states champion
ship doubles. The winners will play
the present national. champions in
doubles in the challenge match
Long is eligible TO play in the west
eTn doubles. but will have no partner.
as both Bundy and Sinsabaugh partici-
pated in the Pacific states doubles and
are, therefore, ineligible. All five will,
however, play in the western singles,
to have the best chance to win. Long,
Mclaughlin and Bundy play clever
enough tennis to be conceded a chance
in this event.
In the New York state championship
tournament Bundy Will be the main
reliance to carry off the honors. OF
course, James at times plays remark
ably good tennis, but he is not reliable.
Sinsabaugh does not figure to do any
thing in any of the events, although
! he is clever doubles player and may
win some of the invitational events
| with Bundy
! Considerable surprise was occasioned
/ by the substitution of Sinsabaugh for
/ Carl Gardner. The latter had made al
! arrangements to go, and, in view of his
/ great showing in the state champion
much better right to go than Sinsa-
/ baugh. The latter is completely out
/ classed by Gardner who never played
! the game as well as he is playing Il
now.
Just prior to the New York state
! championship tournament, Bundy, Sin
/ sabaugh and James viii participate IL
an invitational event at New Haven
/ The national singles championship
/ tournament begins at Newport Angus
II. This is the biggest event of tbs
lot. and all five players from this coas

| list.
