ENTRIES RECEIVED
FOR TENNIS TOURNEY
Many Local Experts to Compete fol
Southern California Titles on
Long Beach Courts,
August 2-7

Announcements have been issued for
the twenty-fifth annual Southern Cali
fornia championship lawn tennis tour
nament to be played on the courts of
the Hotel Virginia, Long Beach, August
2 and 3, and already the entries have
begun to come in. The fact that Sim
sabaugh, Bundy and probably May
Sutton will probably be east during the
tournament will detract but little from
the contest, as every effort is being
made by the management and with
every probability of success, to induce
tennis players from the northern part
of the state to compete.
The Southern California Lawn Tennis
association offers two new cups for the
winners in mems doubles, and 1t is
believed that the successful contenders
will have to beat the Rogers brothers
to acquire the trophies In the mems
singles there will be several local
cracks in the field, and it is believed
that northern players make a strong
bid for the Southern California cham
pionships. Among the local players
who will enter the tournament are A.
E. Bell, Nat Brown and Allen Duncan,
who, with Sinsabaugh and Bundy in the
east, should have little difficulty In
annexing the honors. Although A. f.
Bell will probably enter the tourna-
ment a strong favorite in the mems
singles it is likely that either Duncan
or Brown will give him close rub
for the honors.
Among the woman racquet wtelders
who will compete are Miss Florence
Sutton Mrs B. o. Bruce, Mrs. Robert
Farquhar and Miss Elizabeth Ryan.
From this quartet 1t is difficult to pick
winner although Miss Ryan is now
playing in her best form, and if
she and Miss Florence Sutton meet
some first class tennis should result.
None of the contestants in either the
mems or women's doubles have as yet
been announced. and beyond the fact
that the Rogers brothers, Harry and
Charlie, should afford some exciting
sport in the mems doubles the players
who will compose the opposing teams
are as yet matter of speculation.
Many entries have also been received
for the juniors singles, and 1t is be-
lieved that several new stars may be
brought to light in the armament Of
local tennis experts. No detail will be
neglected by the committees to facili-
tate the handling of the crowds which
will undoubtedly attend the tourna-
ment. The contest will close August Z
with a tennis dance" at the Hotel
Virginia.

SOMETHING NEW IN
PNEUMATIC TIRES
Jersey City Inventor Claims That
Puncture Will Detract Only Slight
Iy from Original Efficiency

A new tire, the invention of Daniel
Macarthur of Jersey City, will shortly
be placed on the market. According to
the claims of its inventor, the tire, al
though of the pneumatic variety, will
not datten when punctured. 1t is in
tended to obviate the danger of acct
dents through punctures.
In speaking of his invention a few
days ago Mr. Macarthur said:
more than year ago there appeared
a communication in a Sunday issue OF
the Herald which pointed out the great
need for a tire that upon being pune
tured would not collapse.
Fatalities resulting from such seri-
GUS accidents is a matter of almost
has been offered to automobilists that
meets approval, at least none of them
has brought real relief.
zone of the important conditions ac-
companying these tire collapses is the
inability of the driver to guide the car
the tendency to cramp the wheels tC
one side making it impossible for him
to steer properly, resulting in upsettine
the automobile.
1.-THE Herald's article caused me tC
investigate the subject, with a view t.
discovering a remedy. On June Is last
| obtained a patent for a pneumatic
tire of novel construction, having the
inner tube arranged in series OF
pockets all connected to a charging
section by automatic valves, operated
by air, which close simultaneously all
around the wheel after being charged.
"Thus, after a puncture occurs, the
loss of air is limited to the contents OF
one pocket only, which is less than
yer cent of the whole charge, the air In
all other pockets remaining intact, SO
that the wheel is practically as good as
ever excepting for one small fiat spot
of three inches on the periphery. Such
a wheel can easily be guided by driV-
err to the end of his journey"

Fast and classy ball was played by
nearly every team in the Interurban
league yesterday, and good crowds were

their previous form and are now head
ing the list with a clean average of
1000 per cent. The San Felice boys
played good ball, but the score of to

out to twirl for the Outfitters, blew up

DUSTLESS CARS ARE
LATEST CREATIC M
Manufacturers Are Bringing Out New
Models That Afford Greater
Cleanliness for Their
Occupants

Satisfied that the only mechanical in-
provement possible on the incoIaIIg
lines Of automobiles are minor cha &C.
in details, as the cars already re r1-
sent the highest type of the buil5efa'
art, manufacturers have begun 20
figure on body changes that will r1aEa
their offerings more attractive to tho
buying public.
The so-caIled "dustless" body app ara
to be the next step in the imp wee
ments of the modern car, and alrG ~
the pioneers along these lines ara
turning their attention to this fea
with the results that are ILLUSTRATED On
this page today. That the bodies shove
represent perfection in obviating ina
dust nuisance in touring is not clai uao,
but that they will add to touring nan-
fort as compared with the ord arY
touring type is undoubted.
The average touring car Of tod is
capable of travelling distance without
developing mechanical troubles IL
will run anywhere and under any sort
of road conditions. For smooth run
ming it compares with the most lux
urious car that runs on steel tracks
It's speed is practically anything shat
the operator desires or that the law
allows.
The greatest drawback, therefore,
under present day conditions to the
height of enjoyment in touring is dust,
which, even on asphalt or the finest
macadam, will bother the eyes and
smudge the clothes Of the automobile
pleasure seekers.
The dustless touring body must be
one which, offering all the advantages
of fresh air for it's passengers, will af-
ford protection against the clouds that
swirl up and around the car in the
currents of air created by its swift
passage along the roads. The tonneau
seats are the ones that catch most of
the dust and CRIME of the road, but the
new bodies are being built with the
idea of seating all the passengers low,
so that they will escape this.
Then, too, every projecting part Of
the car catches and holds dust, and
the fine particles are being continually
thrown again into the air. The new
bodies are smooth in every respect
from the motor hood back, the front
seats being enclosed so as to afford
no place for the Judgment of dust. In
every respect they are rounded to
give smooth surface, with no project
ing angles. Even the tonneau doors
are set in flush with the remainder of
the body.
1t is not asserted that these bodies
entirely obviate the dust nuisance, but
the claim is made that there is much
greater freedom from dust than in the
ordinary touring car, and, additionally,
| that the smooth surfaces reduce friction
to a minimum, making greater speed
| possible.

eateways Score VICTORY

The Gateway baseball team scored a
victory over the Wellingtons yesterday
afternoon at Dolgeville in one of the
snappiest games of the season. The
playing of the entire nine innings con-
sumed but one hour and fifteen min
utes, which compares most favorably
with games played in the Coast league.
Sullivan, third baseman for the Gate
ways, proved himself to be first class
stick artist, going to the plate twice
and tallying two runs. Sullivan also
made four assists, four putouts and
stole. one base. Second Baseman Will
son and Center Fielder Bilaude of the
Gateways also made connections with
the horsehide at every trip to the plate.
The Gateways are now in the lead, and
according to the present outlook ap-
pear to be likely winners. Every man
on the team is working to hold first
place, and the nine that noses them out
will have to play first class baseball
every game of the series. Following

This being the vacation season and
the season being open for deer, dove
and trout, only few of the members
of the Los Angeles club put in an ap-
pearance on the Bishop street police
range yesterday to take part in the
contest for the gold, silver and bronze
medals. The contest was an interest
ing one, owing to the fact that Presi-
dent Thaxter had won the gold medal
twice previous to this, and If he won it
this time II would become his own
property Thaxter seemed to be in
good form, however, even IL he was not
in the very best physical condition, for
he landed first place with a score of
264, while l. C. Douglas gave him a
close run with 26f. Thaxter winning the
trophy as his own. Thaxter and A. b

and are barred from competing for
these trophies hereafter.

Gardena boys and but five by the Win

sixteen men. The score was to 2 at
