"The Pacific States Lawn Tennis as
ISOLATION announces an invitation
lawn tents tournament to be played on
the new cement courts on Mt Wash
tngton, Los Angeles. Cal, on Satur-
day, May 2S, and Monday, May 80,
1910" Thus heralded the official an
nouncements of the new annual tour
ney have just been put into the hands
of Uncle Sam and with the final ar
rangements completed, the event looks
like the best ever i'm the line of the
court game on local fields.
With an assembly of cracks not to be
equaled outside of the experts at New
port and LongWood the meet promises
to show a stage of the game new
among the followers of the sport
around the local camps. The courts
at the cloud resort are among the fast
est in the world and the invited play
ers will be able to keep the pace.
match of worldwide interest Is
to be the climax of the tournament
when Miss Hazel Hotchkiss. woman
champion of the United States, and
Miss May Sutton, late holder of that
title and eX-champion of all England.
will again face each other in an eX-
hibition of the highest art of the femi-
nine game. Local experts are divided
as to the outcome of this match, some
thinking that the northerner's heavier
volleying and net play will overbal-
ance the local champions drive. The
majority, however, are inclined to
choose Miss Sutton as the better. count
Ing upon her superb generalship at
the game and her record of the past.
FEATURE WORK
The main features of the Mt. Wash
ington event will be the Sutton
Hotchkiss match on Monday, the Nc
1>oughlin-B Bundy meeting scheduled
for Saturday, and the Long Bell match
to be played as a preliminary to the
Monday afternoon racket work. Some
of the best tennis, however, will be
seen in the mixed doubles and mems
doubles matches which will constitute
the major portion of the two days
schedule. The four-sided matches al
ways present a faster game for the
spectators as the players do not have
to cover as much territory, besides,
there being more chance for killing"
and smashing, much speedier style
of play is developed.
Miss Hazel Hotchkiss and Maurice
Mclaughlin, Miss Coda Myer and DR..
Sumner Hardy, Miss May Sutton and
Tom Bundy, Miss Florence Sutton and
Clifton Herd, Mrs. b. o. Bruce and
Claude Wayne, Miss Alice Scott and
Gerald Young and Miss Mary Browne
and Sinsabaugh will be the seven teams
to furnish the art work in the mixed
events. Close followers of the work of
the entrants look to the first named
to capture the honors of the tourney
as neither May nor Bundy have had
the necessary practice together to bring
home the victory. On the contrary the
northerners have been paired in
great number of the western tourna-
ments and work together harmonious
ly. In the meeting of these two teams
who will undoubtedly be the contes-
tants in the final play, there should
be some of the finest whirlwind court
work of the tennis season.
MEMS DOUBLES
There are twelve teams entered in
the mems doubles: Mclaughlin and
Long, Summer Hardy and Alphonso
Bell, Tom Bundy and Trow Hendrick,
Nat Browne and Sinsabaugh, Wayne
and Nariel, Hopper and Duncan.
Overton and Bumiller. Freeman and
Holmes, Dawson and Young, Mace
and Herd, Harry Rogers and Charlie
Rogers and Salisbury and Bacon. The
event, unless something unforeseen oc
ours, will rest between the McLough-
lin-Long combination and the Bundy
Hendrick pair. The first named were
the American representatives In the
international tournament in Australia
last year and are talked of as possible
invaders of that country with this
years team. Although they do not
work together with the precision and
regularity of the coast champions, Nc
Loughlin and James, their work was
surprise to enthusiasts last season
when they played together for the
first time and. as both are ranked
among the first ten players of the
world in the racket game, they should
show some fine class in the coming
matches. Bundy and Hendrick, a new
doubles team from the local strong
holds, are expected to give the inter
nationalists the run of their lives. If
these two aggragations meet in the
finals as they are "doped" to. one of
the finest smashing and driving
matches ever seen either east or west
will take place. Hendrick, erstwhile
interscholastic champion and near-Pa-
fic coast champion, Is coming back
into his old-time form and more, and
will be a serious contender in future
computations of aspirants to champion
ship honors. His smashing of short
lobs and tremendous kills" of the
high ones are only equaled by Alphon-
so Bell, and he possesses a strong fore
hand stroke which is declared to sur
pass the ldll-drive of the auburn
haired deizen of Frisco, Mclaughlin.
Bundy's serve has always been a puz-
zle to his opponents and it has won
him more games than McLoughlin's
twist which so disconnected the Brookes
and Wilding combination in the Aus
tralian contests. Experts locally ex-
pect Bundy and Hendrick to bring
the prizes home but the match will not
be a walltaway for either pair.
ANOTHER FAST MATCH
Tennis enthusiasts of the local courts
will always remember the great Bun
dy-McLoughlin contest at Venice last
year when the local player annexed the
victory only after losing a love set to
the northerner and coming pretty close
to the losing end himself Saturday
afternoon at Mount Washington will
witness andother fast match between
these two stars and there is no one
who is able to pick the winner from
past meetings, as the wins have see
sawed backward and forward, although
Mclaughlin is rated a few ranks above
Bundy In the national tennis stand
ing.
The match between Melville Fl.
Long of University of California and
Alphonso Bell, ex-Pacific coast cham
pion, will prove to be one of the big
events of the tournament. Bell was
the victor i'm the last meeting of the
pair and Long has been anxious ever
since to get another chance at the
lengthy rancher. Both players use
somewhat the same general style of
play: both are of about the same
build, and the match should show
some of the best strokes of the two
days exhibitions.
