MISS MAY SUTTON, Fo RMER WORLD CHAMPION

lection of great tennis matches has
never been condensed into so short
space before. The first fray of the af-
ternoon was the play-off of the old
fight between Long and Bell, both
former holders of the Pacific coast
title and both having secured the scalp
of the other in last years tournaments.
Both players were nervous when they
started the match, using the lob for
the most part and sending but few
of the point-wlnning drives for which
they are famous. Longs drive is
great sweeping stroke, striking the ball
in the center of the racket and de-
pending on it's speed and heavy pull
to bring the drop on the finish of the
stroke. He does not put the top" on
the ball which Mclaughlin uses, but
puts fully as much muscle into his
swing. Bell delights in a short back
hand drive, taking the ball when it
commences to drop on the second
bounce. He finishes the stroke cross
his body, giving the ball a sufficient
cut to drop it in the opposite court.
| His height and reach are advantages
| in his favor and there are very few of
the tennis cracks who are able to loft
the ball over the former champions s
head.
The match started slowly, both
players warming up for the test to
service, and four times Long did the
same, but in the ninth game Long be-
gan putting little extra steam on
his underhand strokes and Bell was
unable to cover fast enough to win out
That game decided the set and match.
Long followed with a win on his own
service and the first set was over.
The second struggle was the opposite
of the first, Bell starting out by los
mo hfc
suit. With the score 2-all, Bell took
his own serve to love and made
strenuous effort to get a good deal in
the set, but although Long served
three doubles in the next game, his
great driving brought him the tally.
His victory in that game gave him
confidence in the following and his
driving gained In speed and accuracy.
He took the seventh game to fifteen,
the eighth to love and the final game
to fifteen. The exhibition was, as
whole, the superior of the Mclaughlin
Bundy match of Saturday and both
players gave the grandstand plenty of
excitement a number of times during
| the match.
The score by points:
FIRST SET
Alphonso Bell ..... So S-S1
Melville Long 49,. 2 5-37
SECOND SET
Alphonso Bell ........2 1-25
Melville Long ........ 4-S4
CROWD APPLAUDS CHAMPIONS
When the two women champions,
Miss May Sutton and Miss Hazel
Hotchkss, came on the court at $3.50
o'clock the grandstand arose and APP
lplauded for number of minutes. At
ter a preliminary warming up, the
northerner playing with Melville Long,
and Miss Sutton with Tom Bundy, the
two feminine experts chose sides and
| opened the fray. Both players started
nervously, afraid lest they might make
| a fault that would cost them a game,
and the nervousness lasted through
the major portion of the first set. From
| the way the points went during the
beginning of the match the victory
looked like an easy one for the former
worlds champion, but there were sur
prises to come.
