Mclaughlin and James, the champions
for the north, Monday afternoon.
The weather today was ideal until
the sea breeze developed to such an
extent that 1t interfered somewhat
with the work of the men in the
doubles finals. The grandstands were
well filled with fashionable society
folk of Los Angeles, Pasadena and
Long Beach, many of whom remained
until late this afternoon.
James and Mclaughlin this after
noon played several matches with
Braly and Duncan, the latter annexing
a couple of the contests and stringing
out another 8-6. The northerners
found their southern friends hard to
handle at times, both Duncan and
Braly doing some first-class volleying.
James and Mclaughlin are both strong
on the serve and quick as lightning
at the net.

at the courts and left for San Fran
cisco. On Monday she will play at San
