One of the largest crowds of the week attended the fifth day's play of the
twenty-fifth annual tournament of the Southern California Lawn Tennis aaSO
tion and the program was worthy of the large attendance. The finals in the
open singles event was somewhat of a disappointment to many who expected
Fottrell to show up strongly against Nat Browne, but Fnitrell was nervous,
his nervousness kept him in the back court and he played into the South
erner's hands. The result in the doubles was predicted, but the first set went
In the Freeman-Holmes direction and for a few minutes the dope was quiver
ing for another turn. Florence and May will meet in the finals of the
women's singles, as has been the case for many moons. May has at last been
defeated and the defeat will stand on record as one of the prettiest mixed
doubles matches the Virginia courts have ever witnessed.
Miss Mary Browne and Simpson Sinsbaugh were the ones to turn the
trick, and May Sutton and Nat Browne were forced to content themselves
with second honors for once. The .Browne-Slnsabaugh duo were in fine form,
und during the last set Mary Browne kept the stand in constant applause with
si succession of beautiful plays that brought the coveted points in the hard
epots. She outpointed the world's Champion In every phase of the play dur
ing the last few games of the final set and the manner In which the little
player killed and drove the ball threatens the Sutton prospects in the future.
"Little" Mary Browne is destined for the national championships or better
if she keeps up her present pace. The score was 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.
►. WAYNE-BRUCE PAIR WINS
The other semi-final match In the mixed event was also one of the feature
events of the day, and Mrs. Bruce and Wayne won only after a lone; and
gruelling struggle with the odds falling one way and then the other. Twenty
two games were required to decide the first set, the Bruce-Wayne pair win
ning at 12-10. Bell and Golda Myer went Into the second set with additional
speed and won handily to 6-2. The third set was almost as easy for the
Wayne-Bruce duo and the match was won. 'Wayne has been showing better
form than ever before on the Southern California courts, and his driving in
yesterday's matches was almost perfect. Bell showed the lack of practice
and many of his drives went wild, but Miss Myer played a steady and heady
game and made a number of applause-bringing shots.
Sinsabaugh and Dawson had a stren
uous time-with Freeman and Holmes,
and the veteran players gave In only
after a long and grueling fight. Free
man's net work was the delight of the
fans and Holmes was in topnotch form.
During the first set Sinsabaugh drove
wildly and could not get settled down
to his, real game. After that, however,
the score changed and the drives be
came aces at critical times. Dawson
played a good net game, but was rath
er weak ln the driving department.
The match this afternoon, when Sinsa
baug and Dawson line up with the
title holders, Bell and Browne, should
prove to be the best and fastest match
of the week's play. All four players
are of championship caliber and ate
capable of displaying expert tennis
form when it is necessary and the fans
are confidently expecting a treat in
deed. ■
FOTTREJ,L LOSES NERVE
Browne's defeat of Fottrell In the
finals of the open singles surprised the
prophets in the ease with which it was
accomplished, and many explanations
were given of the affair. Fottrell be
gan the match unsteadily, nervously
and could not hold down his drive with
the regularity he has shown In his pre
vious matches. His service, too, was
not up to standard, and Browne drove
on his backhand repeatedly for precious
points. Fottrell needs a few years'
experience only added to his present
skill in the court game to match him
with any player on the coast. He
has all the necessary qualifications
for a champion and is good timber for
the class A variety.
Fottrell ls picked as the junior cham
pion, although Newell gave him a hard
fight yesterday afternoon in the second
round of that event. Newell puzzled
the northerner for a. while with his
hard service, but Fottrell kept his head
and held a little In reserve lor the
final meeting, winning the match by a
score of 6-4, 2-6, 6-3. Sheldon probably
will be the man to meet Fottrell in the
finals of the Juniors, and the local
youngster is confident of giving the
Frisco lad a run for his money. Shel
don has roved wonderfully of late,
and may be expected to make a splen
did showing, If he does not carry away
the win.
Miss May Sutton lost only one game
In the two sets she played with Alice
Scott, nnd it Is probable that she will
take her sister Into camp by somewhat
the same score. The rule of the tour
naments In the women's events is to
leave the finals for the Button sisters
and the last, winning for the redoubt
able May.
One o; the surprises in the consola
tion event was the defeat of Bacon by
Ketchum, one of the younger players.
Ketchum played a fast and heady
game and outplayed Bacon nt every
point. Bacon, it must he said, was
tired with the day's series if matches,
and his weariness affected the result.
Great erellt Is due Ketchum for his
splendid work, however.
COM! AGAIN', VISITORS
Now thai the tournament is almost
over and tlie visitors are ready to re
turn, the tennis funs are unanimously
voicing a "com' again," and all are
hoping that another year will see But
lin, Fottrell, PMnnegan, Golda Myer and
the rest back again In another attempt
to wrest the laurels from the southern
tennis grounds,
Today program will be one of the
In st the south has seen for many a
day. Win Mace may be expected to
put up the game of his life against bis |
old enemy, Browne, and the doubles j
event will be close enough for the most
critical. There will be plenty of the
women's events for the feminine side
of the tourney, and the mixed doubles
should bring forth a fast and snappy
contest. No one can predict who the 1
1010-11 champions '-ill be until the sun
has set tonight and they are known.
Tennis is getting to be—and perhaps
already la— game that knows no dope
sheet, und many of the players have
taknn to wearing horseshoes to bring
E.V. WELLER
the bird of victory in their direction.
The chance side of the game is the life
of the sport, and long life to it!

TENNIS FANS ARE
ENJOYING TOURNEY
Close Matches and Changes in
Predicted Results Keep Gal
leries in Good Humor
In many respects the tennis tourna
ment on the Virginia courts at Long
Beach during the current week has
been the most novel ever held in South
ern California. The dopsters have b^en
proven prior guessers time and time
again. New and brightly shining
lights in the tennis sky have leaped
up in a single day, and staid old tim
ers admittedly great players in their
day, but now supposedly among the
has boons, have proven to everybody's
satisfaction and their own that it is
possible for former champs in some
lines of sport to "come back."
Among the fans an impression
seemed dominant during the early por
tion of the week that without Bundy,
McLoughlin and Long entered in the
tourney, things would be rather tame.
At this, latter date, however, e,very one
admits the error. Without tfcesg bright
est stars who outclassed' -everybody
else on the course, the games have
been of better quality, far more excit
ing, and the element of uncrtainty
with its consequent thrills and expec
tations much more prominent. With
any of them in the tournament the
fans can only hope for some one to
put up an exciting flght against them.
In their absence it Is impossible to tell
where the plum is going to fall and
who will be the next champion.
'As It was for the championship -of
this end of California the entry list
was composed largely of local talent,
although several racket wielders from
other parts were present, the latter
furnishing the undercurrent of excite
ment and entertainment on account of
their unknown ability. .. „
Not a few of these players from
other parts proved surprises. Perhaps
the j greatest was Fottrell, the left
handed junior player from the' Golden
Gate. Practically unknown, tall, slen
der, and apparently not very fast, the
young San Francisco player did not
look to he a very formidable stumbling
block to the title aspirations of any of
the older players. At least, he did not
look so from the side lines, but on the
courts and in the heat of the fray he
developed a serve and line Judgment
which even the best of his opponents
were unable tee fathom. Certainly he
was defeated b*- the veteran Browne,
but only aftr he had played a remark
able good game un to the finals and
defeated Butlin, champion of Mexico,
Holmes, he conqueror of Bill, am I sev
era] other lesser lights.
Butlin wi i another player who kept
the grand stand guessing. He also kent
his opponents In hoi water, bo to speak,
most of the time, and up to his meet-..
ing Fottrell, small talk about the Vir
ginia lobby and on the grand stand
had II that he waa to be the next
Southern California champion.
The women players also furnished
some- thrills of surprise during the
week as several who will undoubtedly
give a good account of themselves in
a year or two leaped Into prominence
during this tourney, Foremost among
these er,' Miss Josephine Struve,
Misses Laura and Helene McVa: and
Miss Agnes Yoch. .Miss stru\". the
youngest woman in the tournament,
gave an excellent account of herseli
in the singles and brought cheer after
cheer from the grand stand for hor
work In the mixed doubles, going after
things in a manner which would have
done credit to a veteran. Probably the
thing about this young lady's playing.
however, which endeared Tier the most
tn the hearts of the fans, was her
gameness. She goes after everything
which comes over the net, Is fiirliting
all the time', and keeps it up until the
last point is won or lost. This par
ticular sort of work was noticeably
lacking ln some of the other women's
play.
The Misses McVay, newcomers here,
were most conscientious in their play
ing, and will also be marked to make
some of the old timers sit up and no
tie" them occasionally. •'
.Miss: Yoch was hor same modest self,
as in other tournaments in which she
has taken part, pegging away con
stantly and putting up her usual
steady, consistent game.
The Rogers brothers deserve a great
Meal of credit for the fight they gave
Slnsabaugh and Dawson in the men's
doubles. This match, with the possible'
exception of Fottrell's defeat of Butlin,
occasioned more comment and sent
more genuine thrills through the hearts
of the fans than any other during the
tournament. It was fast and exciting
from start to finish, and the result
hung In the air until the last ball was
served. Among the most enthusiastic
fans of the gallery were Mr. and Mrs.
Rogers, parents of the two young stars.
One seated at one end and the other
at the other end of the grandstand,
they watched every shot and point
from beginning to end, and were justly
proud of their sons' showing.
The fans themselves probably got
more for their money in this tourney
than at any other that has been held
in Southern California for some time.
And how partisan they were, cheering
hard luck on the part of players from
Other parts and applauding wildly the
work of the local players when things
seemed to be coming their way. It
surely was fine for the local men, but.
rather hard on players who traveled
hundreds of miles to contest. As one
northern player expressed it;
"You can't blame them a bit. It is
only natural that they should want
the players they know t.i win, but
nevertheless it Is rather bard for us
who are not from the south to do our
best under such conditions. Everyon»*
is simply dandy to us and we are treat
ed with rare courtesy, but at the same
time we are made to feel just a. little,
like Interlopers." ,■>■-»■■..,; v... ;;*",>• ..
Of effurse! this condition^ of..things is
not caused- by the players themselves,
but will have to be laid at-the door of
the fans. For instance, a favorite
team— an.d generally the favorite teams
are the weaker ones—makes a good
Shot, wins a game or a set, or per
forms some fast work in some depart
ment of til" game. Away goes the
stand in cheers and applause. The.
other team' does the same thing, and
what happens? Applause, to be sure,
but a nice, quiet, ladylike sort of ap
plause, the result, of a heartfelt duty
rather than real desire. And it doesn't
help much. According to the players
from out of town, silence would be,
preferable.
There Were also plenty of "Oh?" and
"Aha" coming forth from the sacred
ftortals under the big canvas. Some of
the fans 'if the gentler sex seemed to
hold their breath until' a good play
was made just to emit an expjresstve
"Ah-h-h," which, though not very loud,
seems to fill tin- bill as to a tennis
rooter's requirements.
The attendance was good throughout
the tourney, the fair sex predominat
ing. They came early and stayed late,
and once in a while the dining room
had p. be reopened after Its usual
closing time in order that an enthusias
tic party of fans, who had become so
interested that they neglected to get
in for luncheon, might be- served. All
of which goes to show that a tennis
fan, judging from those who attended
the Virginia tournament, are an en
thusiastic class of fans, fully as en
thusiastic as any members of baseball
or football fandom. The only difference
seems to be in their manner of showing
their enthusasm. The two other classes
yell their heads off.,^ The,-ts.'nnis tan for
gets to .-"iii" in ,for-luncheon, ■■-.:■

LIVELY DOINGS IN
DOYLE'S PASTURE
Villagers Treat Crowds to a Fine
Exhibition of Umpire Bait
ing, and Win
SCORE WINNER IN THE TENTH
Plenty of Action for Fans Who
Made the Pilgrimage to
Vernon Park
Any time real action In wanted stage
tho show at Vernon. In about as
scrappy, umpire halting, In and out
fame as has been played on anybody's
lot since the flood, the Villagers nosed
out Berry's pits yesterday and ob
tained the verdict after ten Innings, six
to five. Several times it looked as
though' the Insurance companies would
have to pay off on Indicator man Fin
neys life—or death—and not until the
Hoganltes broke It up by collecting a
gong ringer In the extra frame was
everything quiet.
■ There were plenty of features to suit
the most exacting, whether of pugnac
ious or universal peace activities. The
Angels had their batting clothes on,
and played the parts "i' desperadoes
when once on the bugs. Hap's hire
lings were consistent and when it came
to a real showdown nosed out Berry's
bunch for the winning run. Action
with a big A was on tap at all times,
and plenty of names wore put down on
the dope sheet. Three pitchers and
two catchers were utilized by Vernon,
and the Angels employed a duo of twlr
lers and a like number of receivers.
Home runs were not scarce, and the
sixteen hits recorded by the combined
forces were usually productive of some
thing besides a man at the first or sec
ond station. Incidentally, the umps
were aggressive most of the time,
and several players felt their wrath.
The first went by without disaster,
but the second started as though busi
ness was meant. Wheeler got as far
as third base with only one down,
but when be attempted to reach home
on a double steal It was all off.
THK FIRST ONE
In the third the Angels 'broke Into
print and put the flrst run of the game
over. One was gone when Delhi
stepped out a single and proceeded to
second on a passed ball. Daley
slapped out an infield single and Delhi
attempted to score, being an easy vic
tim at the plate, after several Ver
nonites had joined in the chase be
tween the bases. Daley reached second
all right, and scored on Bernard's In
field hit, when Schafer made a bum
heave to Norman Brashear. Howard
walked and attempted a double steal
with Bernard, the latter being nipped
at the final cushion..
In the fourth came the real disas
ter, according to the early dope, for
Los Angeles had a quartet at work
ringing the score bell. Wheeler opened
with a single and was forced at sec
ond on Murphy's hit to Schafer. HaJ
llnan slapped one at Lindsay and was
called safe at first on a close decision.
Stovall made a grand catch of Del
mas' long one. and had not Lindsay
Juggled his toss would have made
Murphy the victim of a double play at
second. Murphy stole third, and he
and Hallinan finally put over the
double steal, the former scoring. Smith
