MISS HOTCHKlSS IS BEATEN

Southern tennis players udu tASAA
day yesterday and the south came off
victorious in every event of the sched-
ule. The day was ideal for fine play
and the racket wielders, one and all.
were in splendid trim to make the
showings of their lives. Bundy and
Hendrick in a spectacular hVe-set
match defeated the northerners, Nc
Loughlin and Long, and earned the
title of Pacific coast champions ana
representatives of the Pacific slope for
the eastern doubles events. Miss May
Sutton added to the southern eXuber-
ance of spirits by decisively defeating
the national champion, Miss Hazel
Hotchkiss, in straight sets and proving
conclusively that she has no equal In
the world among the feminine racquet
Wielders.
The big event Of the day, the finals
in the Pacific Coast championship
doubles, between Maurice McLoughlln
and Melville II. Long, both of San
Francisco, and Tom C. Bundy and
TroW Hendrick of Los Angeles, pro-
duced the fastest exhibition of the
court game ever seen on local grounds,
and drew the applause of the gallery
as brilliant volley followed volley and
rallies altcrnated between one team
and the other.
Bundy was easily the star OF the day
and established a record that places
him at the head of the list of the
Southern California experts. His SER
vice was steadier and surer than any
of the other three, and his marvellous
returns of McLoughlin's kill drives
gave him the major share Of the lau-
rels. Bundy has always had repu-
tation for steadiness, but so far this
season had not come up to the eX-
pectations of his friends. With his
stellar work in yesterdays play, by
cones will be bygones, and all honor
will be paid to the best doubles player
in the. south.
NORTHERNERS DISAPPOINTING
Hendricks work was a pleasant sur
prise. Many had questioned Bundy's
choice in selecting a partner for the
seasons play in the doubles, but 1t
seems that Bundy knew his man, and
his confidence was not misplaced
Hendrick showed up brilliantly in the
net department of the game and did
not weaken when the critical points
were in the balance. His work in the
first set was especially notable, as ne
annexed more points than his partner
and was always in the midst OF the
volleying.
The work of the Long g-McLoughlin
team was a disappointment, but was
not entirely a surprise. The pair have
not been putting up the kind of cham
pionship play they have in the past
seasons tournaments, and they are
growing a trifle stale from too much
practicing at the game. Mclaughlin
showed UP we'll in the last half of the
match and killed lob after lob and
passed the opposing pair repeatedly
with his great drive. Long, as his part
ner improved, grew careless and lost
the turning points in the match from
his own serve. At the last point he dis
gustedly killed the ball to the fence,
giving up an easy chance for the sole
qualification of his soreness over the
winning streak of the southerners. The
Long and Mclaughlin pair do not play
together like the James and McLough-
lin combination, which secured the
championship from Bell and Bundy
last year.
sOUTHERNERs SHOW FORM
Long and Mclaughlin won the toss
and elected to serve. Bundy and Hen
drick chose the south court. McLough-
lin had a hard time to annex the
game from his serve, the score running
to deuce twice before the International
lists ran out the game Each server
won his game until the fifth game,
when Mclaughlin dropped his service
from deuce. The northerners got back
and tied the score at 4-all. Mclaughlin
then won his service to 80 and Bundy
followed with a win from Deuce MAX
ing the score games all. Here Long
came into the netting game and lost
his serve, giving the southerners the
vantage game and they easily ran out
the set on Hendricks serve from 30.
Final score, 7-5.
The second set started with Nc
Loughlin serving and the game went in
the favor of the northerners to 10.
Each of the four then won his own
serve regularly until the fourteenth
game, which the northerners won
from Bundy's serve to 80. The set
score was Sc.
The third set was a walkaway for
the local team, the only games the
San Francisco team winning being Nc
Loughlin's service, both of which were
won to Is. Only three Of the other
games went to deuce and the remain
der were won at 15 and 30. McLough-
lin did the most of the work in this
set, covering twenty-five shots to his
partners ten and Bundy's fourteen.
He made some brilliant net kills and
for the first time in the match his fore
hand drive seemed to be in working
order. The set score was 6-2.
SOUTHERN PAIR WIN

ably in the fourth set, while the north
erners braced a little and kept the most
of them from the net. Mclaughlin
won two Of his services to love and
the other to thirty, getting a tremen-
dous cut on the ball and scoring two
service acts against his opponents.
Hendrtck lost his nerve in the fourth
game, and the dropping Of this game
gave the northerners the set to a score
of 6-3.
When the match developed into
f1ve-set affair the spectators decided
that the southern pair had fought their
fight and finished their course, but de-
Velopments were to come. Long was
getting more and more erratic as Hem
drick weakened a little and McLough-
lin was playing a stronger game as
Bundy was putting more power behind
his strokes. In the eighth game the
Bundy-Hendrick pair, by playing to
Long, broke through his service and
made the score 5-3. On Bunday's serve
the match looked easy, but McLoukhIin
came in at an opportune moment with.
a succession Of brilliant aces that drew
the applause and won the game. Nc
Loughlin then took his own serve to
Is, and Hendrick followed with a win
from 30. Long became reckless, and
