AN EXHIBITION MATCH TODAY

Some heated encounters in the racket
welding line were on the Mt Wash
ington children's tennis tournament
program yesterday and the youngsters
rambled through a fast schedule in
major tennis team style. Some of the
scores were one-sided in the extreme
many were closely contested and the
galleries were kept in a fund of good
humor by the splendid rallying the
younger experts would exhibit when
the scale seemed to be falling over
whelmingly the other way and the
match seemed lost. Game little play
ers they were, every one, and the way
the entire assembly tried for the vic
tory from the start of the match to the
finish would do the hearts of the ten
mis- fathers a world of good and make
them feel that the game on the Pacific
coast has a future that no other sport
in the west can boast and all on ac-
count of the younger element playing
their matches to a finish.
/ One of the features of the DAVIS pro-
gram was the set-to between Well
bourne and Johnson, the first set fall
ing to the former lad by the score of
8 to Z, the second set being won by even
a closer score by Johnson to the tune
of 10 to g. and the final won by Well
bourne. although every game went to
deuce several times, by the score of 6
to 2. Both boys played excellent ten
mis-, taking into account the strength
of their arms and their height. and
they would make as good a showing as
many of the entries in the bigger tour
naments. The two will bear watching
Hawkes. and Haney had an even
longer tussle to decide the victor,
Hawkes. finally bringing in the win
by totals of 12-10, 3-6 7-5. Haney came
within a single stroke of taking the
victory, but Hawkes. kept pegging
away and ran out the match.
The schedule proved to be a heavier
one than the COMMITTEES in charge had
expected and the tournament will
probably run into the first few days of
next week to complete the play Only
the firts round in the singles was run
off yesterday and ie will require the
use of both courts during the whole of
today to finish the first round in the
doubles. Besides this there has been
planned a special exhibition match be-
tween four of the best players of the
tournament elass-WilI Mace, the
Southern California champion, John
Holmes of Pasadena, R. H. F. Var
iel and Will Bacon.
The exhibition matih is scheduled

coming of the youngsters yesterday

pected to attend today's matches. The
