BUNDY AND HENDRICK WIN

BUNDY AND HENDRICK WIN
In the play-off for the deciding set
in the Hardy-Bell VS.. Dawson Young
match. the former team won in easy
fashion by a 6-3 score. The youngsters
could not fathom Bells sweeping un-
derhand drive and lost a number OF
precious ones through Hardy's star
angle shots from the net. The junior
pair played deep most of the time ana
could not be persuaded to come to the
net except at rare intervals. When
they did follow their lobs, however,
they took the point but generally failed
to clinch the argument by repetltloh
of the play.
The result of this match lined Hardy
and Bell with Bundy and Hendrick, one
of the new doubles combinations on the
Southern California courts and hereto
fore an unknown quantity in local ten
mis- circles. Bell started the mil, TAX
ing his service to thirty, and for the
moment the bleachers were thinking
that the former Pacific coast cham
MONS were too fast for the other pair.
The games alternated until the fifth,
when the Bundy- Hendrick team COM
menced to lob and follow the stroke IN
to the net. The game turned with that
play, and after taking Bells serves
thew ran out the set, 6-2, with four
straight games.
The next started a duplicate of the
first, but Bundy and Hendrick had mt
their gait and soon started things in
their direction. The score from 1-love
in Bell and Hardy's favor went to Al
for their opponents before the older
champions awakened to the fact that
they were rapidly being swept off their
feet. The sixth and seventh games ran
to deuce, Hardy bringing home both
with brilliant short from cross-court.
With the score 4-3 In their favor, Bundy
and Hendrick took love game but
and Hardy's steadiness on the sideline
shots. The twelfth game run to deuce,
Bundy and Hendrick finally pulling out.
Bell then lost his own service to love
and Bundy finished the set by pulling
out his own service to love. The match
was a splendid exhibition throughout,
the two pairs being an excellent match
for each other. Hardy's clever work at
the net and his placing of the difficult
ones brought him round after round or
applause from the gallery, while Belps
tremendous reaching for the high lobs
kept the spectators gasplng. Bunuy
was the most erratic of the four. AT
times he would come in with a great
rallv. only to follow 1t with number
of nets or outs. He did not seem to get
into every play with the interest he
generally shows, and gave away num-
her of easy ones that looked like points.
hendricks work in the match was de-
serving of the highest praise. His
overhead was in fine>condition, and his
etrong forearm drive was working to
the best advantage. His individual
work far overshadowed that Of any of
the others in the match.

Nervousness lost the first set for
Miss Hotchkiss, superior play won for
her the second, and lack of confidence
lost her the third. The northern player
has a style of play all her own, yet she
delights in the angle shot which Miss
Sutton used when right in her prime.
She outshone the local player at all
stages of the game, save in endurance.
Her placing was perfect, and she quite
outranked Miss Sutton in the number
of clean aces. A glance at the score
sheet would impress one with the way
the play progressed. In the first set
Miss Hotchkiss had eight nets and six
teen outs, in the second made thirteen
nets to twelve outs, and In the third
made nineteen nets to nine outs, show
ing that her play was rapidly weaken
ing throughout the match. If she could
begin to play with the assurance that
has so long stood May Sutton In good
stead there would be no doubt of the
outcome. Miss Hotchkss would have
no equal in the feminine tennis world
today.
Miss Sutton won the first and second
games in the first set, but lost the
third The fourth, fifth and sixth also
came to the local champion, making
the score 5 to I. 1t looked at this point
as if the match would be a walkaway,
and the crowds turned back into their
old way of cheering Miss Mays oppo-
nent Miss Hotchkiss made a fierce
stand and by clever network follow
ing the ball in when she lobbed took
