Great Tennis

round Of the singles was disposed Of.
The style OF tennis put up by the
two Californian cracks was first
class, and It was seen that Long and
Mclaughlin have improved lot on
the kind Of tennis they played when
In Honolulu last.
The bali opened yesterday when
Long met Low, and on the other
court Mclaughlin played Castle.
Captain Low did fine work against
the expert. and by taking three
games In the first set and four In
the second. he justified the conn
dence OF those who considered that
he would make the Californian play
real tennis % win.
Low took The first game, and then
Long pulled himself together and.
playing in splendid form. took four
games In succession. With the score
Al In favor Of Long. the set looked
about over. but Low took q pull and.
making some fine shots, annexed an
other game. Long took the next
game. and then Low captured one

ed. and then the Californian put on
all steam and took the ninth game
and with II the set, go
The second set was even closer, as
Low again took the first game. ana
then Long captured three straight.
Low, however, was not to be de-
MED. and he went after the crack 8
scalp In grand fashion. He got a
game on Long and then the latter
forged ahead once more. Low then
capped all his good work by TAX
Ing two games straight and making
the score four all.
The spectators began to sit up and
take notice then, and II looked as
II a vantage set might be in store.
However. Long started out In bril-
liant fashion and, making some love-
ly strokes. tbek the next two games
ana with them the set, Ga.
Castle did not do ms well against
Mclaughlin as Low did In his match
with Long. The varsity player was
rather outclassed. and the Caiifor-
nian took the first set easily to two
games. The Davis Cup man was in
good form. and some OF his recover
les were a treat to watch: he is par
ticularly deadly with his smashes.
and he gets TO the net In very qnick
order.
The second set between Castle and
Mclaughlin was more exciting. al
though the score looks one-sided. The
Californian won the set to two
games. but the score on paper does
not give any idea of the way the
set was fought out. Castle pulled
himself together In great style and
fought out each point In determined
fashion. He took the second game
without allowing Mclaughlin to
score a point. A love game against
a man like Long IL something to be
proud OF. and Castle deserved the
ovation that greeted his effort.
After the singles were finished for
the day, an exhibition match was
played between Gee and Roth. rep
resenting Hawaii. and Long and Nc
Loughlin. The first set was an easy
win for the Californians. who only
allowed their opponents to get one
game. The Davis Cup men pls yed
In great form, although they were
more or less tired after their exer-
lions In the singles. Gee and Roth
did not seem to be able to get GO
Ing properly, and made many mis-
takes.
The second set was complete re-
versal, as the local men, warming
up to their work. went ahead In
great style. and although the main
land players took three games
straight at one stage OF the set,
every game went to deuce and van
tage several times.
When the score was three all. the
crowd woke up to the fact that real
tip-top tennis was being played. and
the applause came good and hard,

to a state OF excitement. and every
good stroke was applauded.
The ninth game went to the local
men. who only allowed their oppo-
nents TO get thirty. With the score
5-4 In favor Of the home team
things looked good to the Honolulu
people. and when the locals captured
the next game and with It the set
everybody was delighted. To beat
the Davis Cup men Ga Is a feather
In the hats OF our tennis men. and
should they repeat the performance
tomorrow at the Country Club. there
will be great Joy in local tennis
circles.
The third set OF the match was
not played. and at present honors
are easy, with each pair credited
with set.
The Californians played fine ten.
