The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-06-25

will have an opportunity this after
noon to witness some exhibition
matches on the Neighborhood courts,
which have been arranged by the
committee in charge as a fitting way
to celebrate the opening of tn enew
club house that will be thrown open
to the public for the first time.
Sixteen of the best lady and gentle
man players of the city will be match
ed against each other and judging
from their record this past season
they will furnish splendid exhibitions
Of the popular game.
The first match of the afternoon be-
tween Greenfield and McKeever the
two Eva cracks and Castle and No
well, should be well worth going miles
to see All four players are well
known to the tennis public and before
the match is over the gallery will be
treated to tennis of championship
form.
Greenfield and McKeever are two Of
the fastest players in the territory
and their Eva followers feel confident
that they will be able to bring back
fresh laurels from the champion Of
Hawaii and the champion of the Ma
noa club
Castle and Noweli have won every
thing in sight this year, although they
were not paired off in the champion
ship double tournament.
The second match of the afternoon
between Steere and Singlehurst repre-
senting the Manoa Club and Wall and
Prosser the Neighborhood club should
be almost as interesting a match as
the first one, in spite of the fact that
none of the players are considered to
be quite in the same class as the for
mer four.
Steere and Singlehurst recently won
the double championship Of the Ma
noa Club by defeating Novel; and
Schmidt, and their fellow club mem
bers want them to uphold the honor
of the club by defeating the two
Neighborhood cracks.
The third match between Gray and
Captain Low versus the champion
Cooke team should be a fast match
from start to finish, as everyone who
has followed tennis this year knows
what the four players have done.
Low and Gray are hard combina-
tion to defeat, and the present double
champions will have to play better
than they did against Castle and T,w
if they want to win.
The fourth match between Mrs.
Ethel Coulter and Miss Burnham and
Mrs. T. Give Davis and Miss
Lucy Ward, should result in a match
that will be fought for point by point.
Every one who has followed Mrs. Coul-
ter's return to the championship class
knows what she is capable of doing
when forced to exert herself, and her
partner Miss Burnham will give her
the necessary support all through the
sets.
Mrs. Davies and Miss Ward although
not in championship form, can be re-
lied upon to give their opponents
plenty of work if they play the way
they usually do. If time will allow,
the winners of matches two and three
will play the best two out Of three
sets for the inter-club championship.
Great pains have been taken by the
ladies of the club to entertain the
stronger sex that are expected to be
present, and from all reports the house
warming this afternoon promises to
be complete success in every way.
Tennis players and those interested
in the game are cordially asked to be
present at what promises to be the
most interesting tennis exhibition
ever given in Honolulu. The com.
mittee consisting of Messrs. Wall, No.
well and Greenwich deserve much ere
dit for their efforts in arranging the
tennis this afternoon, and with good
weather the pretty grounds of the
club should be taxed to their utmost.
