Dorothy May Bundy, The youngest
member of the U. s. Wightman cup
team, was born and reared in a ten
mis- atmosphere. Her father, Thorn
as c.. Bundy, won international
fame as a doubles player He team
ed with Maurice Mclaughlin to win
the U. S. doubles title in 1912, 13
and IA and to represent the U. S.
in Davis cup competition.
Dorothy's mother, May Sutton
Bundy, was perhaps even more ia
nous for her exploits on the courts.
After having won the U. S. women's
singles crown in 1904, May Sutton
invaded England the following year
and won what was called the world
tennis title at Wimbledon. She was
beaten for the same title in 1906,
but won it again in 1907.
The annals OF California tennis
history are replete with the brilliant
play Of May Sutton Bundy and
that OF her three Ethel,
Violet and Florence. Daughters of
a British naval captain, they came
to America As years ago. On their
own court in Pasadena, Cal. they
learned the game. Tennis was just
becoming popular at the time. Curry
ed rackets, similar to lacrosse sticks,
were used.
All the sisters played Grade A ten
mis-. All held Championships on the
Pacific Coast. But it was May
who went on to international glory
Upon the death of her husband
16 years ago. Violet Sutton Dceg
accepted an opportunity to become
an instructor to support her six
children. Her son, John H, won
the U. S. singles championship in
1890. The other Sutton Sirls, Flor
ence and Violet, also devoted them
selves to teaching tennis.
Dorothy May Bundy is one of the
most promising of the younger ten
mis- players Since January /, 1897
she has won all California tourna-
ments she has entered. She reach
ed the semi-final round in the Sea-
bright invitation but was defeated
by Mile. Jadwiga Jedrzej owska, Po-

2 VESSELS USED
AT union DOCK
ARE SUBMERGED

A 20 by 60 foot scow owned by
Jake Cropley, and the Vera, 80
foot boat owned by Joe and Raw
Paddock, which have been used in
construction of the new Union Oil
dock at the rock dump, were sub
merged in high tide overnight
According to Capt. Walt Hickey,
who noticed the absence of the two
vessels when he went to work this
morning at 7 o'clock, apparently a
leak had developed in the scow thus
dragging the Vera, to which 1t had
been tied, under water with it.
The scow likely will not be able
to be salvaged, according to Hickey,
but the Vera will probably be hoist
ed and fixed up.
Work on the dock will not be ma
terially affected by the accident. APP
proximately 10 men are working
on the dock construction. Compile
ticn is expected around october /.

"As the depression faded out
