BUNDY AND> HENDRICK WIN
Real Enthusiasts Are Treated to
Spectacular Contest When
Darkness InterfereS
BY E. V. WELLER

The preliminaries of the Pacific
states doubles championship tourna-
ment, played yesterday at the Vlr-
ginia courts, Long Beach, produced
some of the finest exhibitions of the
court game seen around the local fields
for many q moon. With stars from the
north and with a collection of southern
ers the like of which no local court has
gathered this season, 1t gave the rams
something to talk about during the
entire schedule.
Mclaughlin and Long, the interna-
tionalists, were seen only In one
double event which they won heandl-
ly but today will give them a chance
to warm up for the Monday hght'
which will be a struggle to the hnlSn.
McTouehlin played a singles practice
match with Nat Browne, whom he mad
at his mercy at all times and in which
there was volleying and smashing
enough to keep the fans in constant
applause.
davis program was played as the dusk
was coming. There were few specta-
tors. but those who remained were
amply rewarded for their interest.
Rundy and Hendrick, matched with
Braly and Duncan, resulted In
pruelling five-set match, in which no
one could pick the winner until the
final net that ended the argument. All
four players were in fine form and the
two pairs made the best match of the
drawings. Bundys serve seemed
puzzler to Braly and this was the de-
Gliding point in the mixup. AT one time
the Braly-Duncan pair were within a
single point of victory, when Bundy's
twist wound an evasive circle In front
of Braly and the big player could not
Judge 1t for the winning tally. Hen
drick showed splendidly In the over
head work, although Bundy came IN
for his share in the killing part OF the
day.
ROGERS BROTHERS SCORE
The Rogers brothers had a little
trouble in landing a straight three-seI
match from the Overton- Bumtller pair
and some hot interchanges kept the
spectators interested, but the team
work of the brotherly duo was too
much for the older delegation and the
rally In the second set was the last
stand of the former champions.
Mace and Noble had an easy time OF
1t with Kobbe and Newell, the latter
team losing through nervousness and
lack of teamwork. Braly and duncan
had little difficulty with the Goodrich
Knox team and put them out. IN
straight sets. although the losers came
in with some splendid driving at IN
tervals and won their games by clever
acing through the winning defense.
Crawford and Salisbury got win In
their first match with Sheldon and
Feitchans without much difficulty, but
could not find enough speed to defeat
the Bundy- -Hendrick pair in their next
hook-up. Crawford Is one of the pio-
neer squad in tennis circles and has
not been seen in action hereaboutS for
n long time. He showed flashes OF his
old-1time form during the match, but
he was too erratic to bring home the
games. Salisbury suffered from the
nd o1fhnnQh he made
some brilliant shots. always evened
them up with easy net faults that
should have been points. Freeman
and Holmes, the veteran pair from
Pasadena, almost dropped set to the
Dawson Hopper duo, but played con-
sistently and kept the lead throughout.
EASY FOR MISS SUTTON
Miss May Sutton made her first ap-
pearance in the tournament in a match
with Miss Florence Allen, whom she
defeated by the two-love set route.
Miss Allen has a strong service, but
cannot cover the court to make any
showing against the worlds best wo-
man player. Miss Sutton made but
few misses and drove steadily, keeping
her opponent on the defensive through
out. Her play has improved since the
Mt Washington meeting and there is
little doubt in the minds of those who
saw her play yesterday that Miss
Hotchkiss will have little show in the
Monday battle.
women's singles and doubles, beside
the continuation Of the play in the

will produce some great matches and
the fans who wait until monday to
visit the courts will miss much.
