Interest in the coming match between Miss
Hazel Hotchkss. woman champion of the
United States, and Miss May Sutton, ex-
champion of the world. to be played at Mt.
Washington next Monday afternoon, Is at
| fever heat, and all the followers of the tennis
game are figuring and devising ways and
means by which our local star may bring
home the laures.
Ask the entire delegation of local racket
wielders the question, 'Will Hazel beat MayP"
and YOU Immediately precipitate a riot. Credit
is given to the Golden Gate champion for her
tremendous volley stroke and her fast play
at the net, but you will always find the An
geeno players banking ON Miss sutton 5
deadly accuracy and steadier headwork. 10y
atty to the representative of Southern Cali
fornia is the first thought of every racket
will start the match with the assurance that
she is playing among her own. every one
of whom will make the fight with her.
WHAT FATHER SAYS
A. C. Way, father of the lawn tennis game
in Southern California and one of the warmest
admirers of the Sutton game said in discuss
ing the Mt Washington match:
'Miss Hotchkiss uno ubtedly is the best
overhead player among the women, but she
lacks the steadiness to win from May. She beat
her at Ojai because May has not had any
competition to speak of in the past few years
and has therefore been unable to keep up her
game. May can keep up driving game
all day, and when in form is able to tire out
any extent"
Although the match of the tournament will
be decided on Monday afternoon the two
champions will be seen in some fast work
Saturday, and good opportunity will be
given the fans to size up the chances of both
players in the big event.

Miss Coda Myer and DR.. Sumner Hardy Al
though experts pick the former team to come
in with the victory, the northerners are eX-
peeted to make a strenuous contest of it, and,
for the spectators, it will probably be one
of the prettiest contests of the day This
will mark DIR. Hardy's first appearance on the
local courts since the final tournament held
the old Casino courts at Santa Monica
many months ago. He was star OF some
magnitude in the Coronado tourney, and prob
ably will be a strong contender for individual
honors in the coming schedule.
THE MEMS DOUBLES
In the mems doubles McLoughn and Long
will be seen in action together for the first
time since their Australian tour. and will
undoubtedly be contenders for the final hon
ors in the tourney. Hardy and Bell is a
combination that will bear watching. Both
are old timers but expected to take a
fair measure of the juniors. Mace and Herd,
