COMPETE TODAY
Maurice Mclaughlin and Reu-
ben Hunt Clash in Singles
at the Park
By GRANT SMITH

Play will be resumed today in the
annual bay counties championship tour
naments at the park. It is possible
both the singles and doubles event will
be completed, but as several OF the
players are still in both. the chances
are one OF the tournaments will not be
finished.
In the singles Maurice McIsoughlin
and Reuben Hunt will furnish the ex-
citement I'm the forenoon. Hunt, al
though he hardly figures to win. ought
to bring out McLoughlin's best game.
The latter took it easy last Sunday, but
will likely show great Improvement to-
day. This match will undoubtedly prove
one of the best OF the tournament The
winner Will go into the seminal round.
where he will meet the winner of the
Hardeman-F. Guerin match.
Guerin and Hsrdeman appear evenly
matched. but neither figures to beat
either Hunt or McLoughlin While
Hardeman is a more snowy player than
Guerin. the latter is much steadier.
and for this reason should be returned
winner.
In the lower half q. Batkin qualified
for the semihnels last Sunday. He will
play the winner of the z. Fottrell-G.
Guerin match. Fottrell. who took for
mer Coast Champion George James into
camp last Sunday, looks almost sure
winner over Guerfn.
Fottrell and Batkin will furnish a
good match in the afternoon. They
are clever pair OF youngsters and both
are in great form.
If Mclaughlin is in anything like
his best form he can hardly lose the
tournament, and as Foley has not
shown much in the last two or three
years the title will probably go to the
former coast champion for the third
and last time. Foley has twice won
the cup also, and it will pass out of
competition with this tournament un-
less Hunt or one of the youngsters fur
nishes big surprise.
Six teams remain IN the doubles
event, the outcome of which is even
less uncertain than the singles. Nc
Loughlin and James, three time winners
of the coast championship and also
winners Of the national preliminary
doubles last year, outclass the other
remaining teams.
The present champions are Hunt and
Foley, who are expected to make a
fair showing against James and Nc
Loughlin, but are hardly conceded a
chance to win.
The first match in doubles will bring
together Cahill and Marcus and Fottrell
and Johnston. The winning team will
meet Ambrose and McSwain In the
other half Batkin and Powell will op-
pose James and Mclaughlin and the
winners will take on NJ Rosenberg and
Curley in the semifnals.
The first annual tournament for the
junior championship of the bay counties
was completed to the finals on the
Golden Gate park courts yesterday. As
was expected Ellie Foltrell and William
Johnston easily qualified for the final
round. They will meet on the same
day the challenge match of the senior
event is PLAYED, which will probably
be next Sunday
1t is expected the two youngsters
will put up Snore interesting match
than the pair that comes together for
the senior title.
Foltrell played one match yesterday
while Johnston played two. The lat
ter's first victim was L. Smith, who
was beaten 60, 6-1. Johnston next
took on Willie Foltrell and won with
equal ease, the score being s-S, 6-1
