Dark Horse Possible.
Several well-known players arc
entered in the tourney which gets
under way tomorrow, but the posi-
blity OF a dark horse Is great. AS
there has been no competitive play
here since 1917 and due to the large
number OF capable players who have
never met some Of Tulsa's former
best, 1t is impossible to forecast the
probable result.
J. d. Iams, winner OF the 1917
tournament and by virtue of that
victory city champion, and Emory
A. Cook, vice president OF the Okla
homa Tennis nsociaton and
familiar figure in Sooner tennis cir
ces the past decade, are entrants
in the city tournament
