TOURNEY BROUGHT TO CLOSE
BY E. v. WELLER

The final days program of the Ven
ice Country club tournament yester-
day brought forth a variety of ex-
hibitions from the first round or the
consolation singles and the contest
ants for the BOBBY prize to the spec
tacular shooting of the great pair from
the north and the local champions.
The match between Mclaughlin and
Long, supposed to have been the fea-
ture of the tourney was somewhat
disappointing contest. Long got away
with the struggle In desultory racket
work.
The only disappointment of the day
was the canceling of the scheduled
exhibition between Miss May Sutton
and Win Mace, and this event was
dropped only after it was found i'm
possible to arrange for the heavy az
ternoon's schedule in a satisfactory
way. The defaulting of Ward Daw-
son to Melville Long was another Flaw
in the arrangements. but barring these
miscalculations the tourney ended with
a record that no other tournament
held in the south can boast. Congrat-
ulations were rendered from all the
players to the manager, Thornton Kin
ney, for the splendid way in which he
has conducted the meet and the thanks
of a grateful tennis world are but
small acknowledgment of the trouble

ROUNDS COMPLETED
The morning was given over almost
entirely to the completion of the
rounds begun Friday and in moving
the matches up to the finals. The
Junior event brought forth the sur
prise of the day in the defeat of Lowry
at the hands of Thurston and the lat
ters defeat by Kendall. Both these
matches went the limit and the boys
played an even match throughout
Kendall seemed to be slated for three
set matches during the entire junior
event His first victory over Harri-
man In straight sets was the only ex-
ception, and 1t took him three sets to
defeat Sheldon. Dixon and Thurston
in the order named. Lowry did not
show up in the manner expected and
was clearly off his game yesterday.
He netted the majority Of his shots
and seemed unable to make them
climb the net Thurston, on the other
hand played sure. snappy game and
took the chances that meant points.
Kendall caught Thurston after a hard
three set struggle with Lowry and
succeeded in gathering home the cup
after dropping set and coming with
in a single point of going toward sec
ond place. The little San Diego high
should show up we'll after few more
years in the tournament department
of the game.
MISS SCOTT WINNER
Miss Scott, as was expected, annexed
the ladies' event in straight sets from
Mrs Widdowson, allowing her oppon-
ent but four games in the match and
outclassing her throughout. Miss Scott
was played out when it came to the
mixed doubles match for the semi
finals with Tom Bundy and May SUIT
ton and netted great many of her
shots.
Mclaughlin and Long, brilliant and
spectacular, although extremely erratic
throughout the day, annexed the
doubles cups without dropping a set
during the tourney and decisively
earned a decision over the Rogers
brothers by a 60, ga score. The first
set showed the Rogers nervous and
Wild but the boys rallied in the second
round and showed some of the class of
which they are capable. The score fol-
lows:
