Just Like That
Either the reputation of the I'M
perial county sheriff's office has
been grossly exaggerated in some
parts of the country, or at least
one individual has very little con-

Enclosed in the letter was note

Cotton, among others, said he didn't t

today's and tomorrow's qualifying
rounds. Last wees rains helped some
but the course isn't in perfect shape
and the weather report indicated this
week will be hot.
Regardless of the conditions. Hilari-

BY BILL DISMER. Jr.

Immediate tennis interest did no.
halt with the close of the mems Dis
trict tourney yesterday. Indeed, it will
be just warming up. as three distinct
groups-women, girls and public park
ers-prepare to take the courts before
the week Is out.
First comes the vomen's District
tournament starting tomorrow at CO.
lumbla. and which should produce far
keener competition than the cut-and-
dried progress Of the mems tourney.
Although Edith Clarke is back in town
to defend her championship. host of
young stars have sprung up to con-
tending positions and each day should
see interesting matches.
Saturday. the public parks
tournament begins at the Six
teenth Street Reservoir courts
with Allie Ritzenberg in the role
Of defending champion.
Women are not scheduled to start
playing in the municipal competition
until next Sunday, and there is even
some doubt as to whether they will
play at all. No women's tournament
was held last year, and although one
is on the 1888 schedule officials still
are doubtful about staging it.
The third group which will swing
rackets in unison this week is that of
the Junior girl players, who are being
coached and given supervised instruc-
ton under the leadership of Dorette
Miller, one OF the city's guiding hands
for younger fair players.
Comparable to the junior Davis Cup
squad, these girls will meet again with
Mrs Miller at GAS o'clock Wednesday
morning at the Sixteenth Street Res
ervoir courts.
Winnie Suite Out Of Meet.
The District womens tournament
will be without one of the most color
full performers who marked the City
OF Washington tourney back in June.
That is Winnie Suite, the little Jack
sonvllle mother. who went to the
semi-flnals of The Star event, where
she lost out to the ultimate champion.
Margaret Robinson. Mrs. Suite has
accompanied her husband back to
Florida
Mrs. Robinson is in the lists, how
ever, and should produce the most
serious challenge to Miss Clarke, one
of her closest friends In fact, they
probably will be seeded l and 2; Miss
Clarke first as defending champion
and ranking No. l player Of the city
and Mrs. Robinson second as champion
of the only womans tournament played
here thus far this year.
Other formidable opposition is due
to come from such girls as Charlotte
