LONG BEACH, Aug. 6.-Will Lewis
R. Freeman enter the semi-tinals in
mems singles tomorrow morning and
! play against Noble? While the big fell
low, who last night suffered disloca-
| tion of his right shoulder, said this aft
ernoon he would attempt to play rather
than default others think he cannot
I possibly play. Freeman and Holmes
today defaulted in the semi-tinals in
mems doubles to Braly and Duncan,
and the latter will play for the cham
pionship tomorrow against Bell and
Browne.
Freeman, who has been picked for a
winner of the championship, threw his
shoulder out of place last night while
in the surf DR.. w. Hartman Jones,
house physician at Hotel Virginia, at
tended him. Freeman appeared in the
gallery this afternoon and said he
would try to go swimming tonight.
This morning Winnie Mace defeated
Douglass in the other semi-inals in
mems doubles. Douglass defeated Hal
! Braly. Mace was picked today as 4
possible winner of the tournament, un-
! less Freeman's arm heals rapidly, al
though the outcome of a Mace Noble
match is an uncertainty. Mace's sue
!
are eliminated, looks like a run of good
! luck.
Today's program was reVamped con-
! siderably owing to the Freeman acci-
dent. Tomorrow the tournament closes
with the following program of semi

Florence Sutton Wins
Mrs. Farquhar did not appear to be in
favorable condition for her match with
Miss Florence Sutton in the finals of
the women's singles. Miss Florence
Sutton was in splendid form, however,
as she was throughout the day, and she
annexed straight sets of 6-1, 6-2. Mrs.

feated Mrs. Bruce and Miss Ryan this

| older teams mercy. Bell and Browne
made the last a 6-1 set.

One Of the most interesting matches
| of the day, although not one on the
! regular schedule, was a Women's dou-
| bles match with Miss May Sutton and
! Miss NJ. Scott vs.. Miss Florence Sutton
! and Miss Alice Scott. The champion
! and her partner lost this match after
most exciting finish. Miss Florence
! played in great form in this match
! The plyaing of the Misses Scott was
| quite even in the second set, but in
! the first and certain portions of the last
Miss Alice was the more fortunate.
Best Tennis by May
Miss May Sutton played some of the
| best tennis ever seen here, at times
covering the entire court and getting
! founders outside, first on one side and
! then on the other chopping with back
hand strokes, and lobbing with force
and speed. There was no side she
! could not cover Miss Florence played
a gilt-edged return game, and at times
! the racquet argument between the two
| sisters went a long distance, while the
crowd cheered.
Miss Florence Sutton and her partner
took the first set, GO. In the second
Miss M. Scott played a good variety
of tennis, and she and her partner had
the score 81 at one time. Soon, how
ever it stood 4-4. Miss Florence lost
her nerve and then Miss May won hers
