Tennis of every variety was the pro-
gram of the second days play on the
Virginia courts at Long Beach yester-
day. and the matches have been mar
rowed down to the topnotch class. 10

4loubles events, and q goodly number
of the tennis fans will travel down to
the beach to watch the faster side OF
the sport. One of the heaviest day 5
program of the whole tournament mas
been arranged for this morning ana
afternoon, and the eliminating process
will be the point in view. men
doubles, mixed doubles, the completion
of the open singles to the semi -tnais,
and perhaps match or two in the
women's events, will be the schedule.
The gallery enthusing matches OF yes
terday's schedule were the Sinsabaugh-
Bacon struggle in the morning and the
Bell-Young contest in the afternoon:
Many of the knowing ones had picked
the Monroyia player to take the match
from the veteran Sinsabaugh, but were
doomed to disappointment, as Bacon
seems to have too much interest IN the
consolation event to turn his luck III
picking a hard man for the first try
Bacon made a game fight ana came
within a point of victory in the second
set. Sinsabaugh is playing steady
game that BODIES i'll for his opponents In
the remainder of the program, and ms
drives were in fine shape for acing
purposes in yesterdays play.
YOUNG TAKES SET
Gerald Young, ex-junior champion
and conqueror of many a title holder.
almost added the scalp of the prospec-
tive tournament winner in fast mill
Yesterday afternoon. Young outdroVe
and outgeneraled Bell in the first set OF
T.. min nic repu
larly and breaking through Bells at
critical moment of the play. Bell
"came back" however, in the second
lineup, and using his backhand ana
forehand drives with rare judgment
passed Young when he came to the net
and kept the youngster on the deIen-
siye throughout, the latter taking only
one game in the set. The third set was
more closely contested, although Bell
was able to run out the deciding points
when they were needed. Bell dropped
only two games in the last set.
Sheldon gave Fottrell scare in the
omen singles event and ran the score to
deuce games in both sets. Fottreli s
serve was not working as well as in
Mondays play, but his back court game
was much improved. Sheldon's reverse
twist service brought him many points,
and he has a good chance to turn the
tables on the San Francisco player II
Queen May came forth for a short
while Yesterday afternoon and carried
away a two-love-set match from MISS
Laura McVay Miss McVay lost all
confidence in herself when the world
champion began shooting aces down
the side lines and did not DO herseI
Justice She is marked for the tnal
honors in the women's special event,
however. il she regains her lost conf
dence and goes in for the w1n
Today's program will be one of the
best of the week, and the two courts
will be working overtime to complete
the matches scheduled.
