Bundy, although he once reached the
final round In the singles tournament for
the national championship at Newport.
never has been regarded as a very strong
singles player, either In the East or on
the Pacific coast. Moreover. the trans
continental trip ne has just finished would
not tend to help his game any, but prac-
tically every one felt that he would beat
the former Harvard player.
Prentice. however. was playing rafting
good tennis and would have been a hard
man for any Of the players to have beaten
to-day. He was unusually steady and

was between Robert Lindley Murray Of
! Palo Alto and Wallace +. johnson Of
Philadelphia, a member Of the Davis cup
team last year. Tho young Californian
who has just been graduated from stan
ford University. was in exceptional form
and outplayed the Philadelphian at every
/ angle of the game, winning in straight
sets at Go, 6--3.
While tho johnson Murray match was
going on there was little drizzle, but the
spectators were too much interested In the
play to notice the rain Many of the
enthusiasts expected that tho Philadelphia

they were u little shocked to see how

Sc Toward the end of the last set OF
this match, which was not finished until
nearly o'clock. when II was almost too
dark To see ball two sections of the
bleachers collapsed but luckily the most
serious injury any of the spectators
about hundred In number seated in
them received was slight scratch or
a torn garment. The bloachers were only
three row affairs and were not crowded
to capacity. when the first one caved In
all those in the one adjacent turned
. quickly, and II is thought that the sud
den concerted movement OF those in the
. second stand put too much of n strain
on II and caused II to collapse also, SO
that the onookers of both were tumhed
to the turf almost simultaneously.
