Bundy, McLoughlin, Mace, Sinsabaugh and Other Court Stars Fur
nish Plenty of Thrilfs for Crowd of Fans-New Hotel Courts
Christened in Happy Style-May and Florence Sut
ton Will Play Today-Women's Matches Are
Scheduled for Morning and Afternoon.
Galusha-Herd Match Attracts
Fast and snappy tennis, a pair of perfect cement courts bordered
with evergreen shrubbery that only California can boast, a typical,
appreciative lawn tennis crowd, combined to make the second an
nual midwinter tournament of the Pasadena Tennis club on the
Maryland hotel courts an assured success. Although there were no
surprises in the final count of the day's play, there was enough of the
three-set variety to make it interesting, and everyone voted the af
fair "the best ever."
One of the best matches of the program, that between Gerald
Young and Nat Browne, was called on account of darkness with a
score of one-set-all and two-games-all. The match will be resumed
today. Young played at the net the majority of the time, Browne
taking his stand behind the baseline and only coming in to kill. In
driving the local player has the best of the argument, while the ex
junior Duarte title holder excels at the volleying game. Their meet
ing today should prove one of the best of the program.
One that looked like a pretty exhibition before the play, Mace
and Herd vs. Bundy and McLoughlin, was too one-sided to produce
many thrills. Both members of the losing pair were off their stride
and neither serve nor drive was in right working shape. On the other
hand the winner at Longwood, McLoughlin, and the winner at New
port, Bundy, drove and served in great style, working together won
derfully for their debut as a double team.
If vollying can win the national championship, Bundy and
McLoughlin will be easy winners. Both are strong at the net and on
the angle shots. An eastern expert is quoted as saying: "Only a
pair of volley players can defeat Hackett and Alexander." If this is j
true, the Californians should take the title in short fashion.
One of the matches that drew the attention of the crowd was
the Galusha-Herd contest, It was nip and tuck from start to finish,
the veteran making a hard fight for every game but the youngster
having just enough to put over the deciding points. Galusha is a
hard fighter and although influenced to a great extent by climatic
conditions he is not beaten until the last stroke is won and lost. Any
match in which he engages is sure of a well-filled gallery.
Today's program promises even a better collection of muatches
than yesterday's, with Bundy and McLoughlin scheduled for their
first appearances in the singles event. Miss May Sutton will also be
on the morning's program and a large assembly is expected to wel
come her play.
The results of the day's play werej.-

Ing to B. B. Johnson, president of the

As in tinj past, there will be 161 games
In tin- American, and from present Indica
tions the same number will be selected lev
the National league.
"Save for tie- election of four directors —
two from the eastern clubs and two from
the west—there won't lie a great deal of
business," said President Johnson. "During
the course of the two league sessions I
hops to confer with Mr. Lynch relative to
the arrangement of playing dates for 1911.
Then, in a later meeting, the schedules will

•'ln addition to the schedule matter, Mr.
Lynch and I will urge the passage of a
new rule prohibiting the world's cham
pions of any year to participate in barn
storming games following the close of the
title series. To have a band of cham
pions out of condition troop off to other
countries and play with opposing teams In
the highest stage of perfect condition and,
perchance, suffer defeats, .■in a:. base
ball. These exhibition trips will have to
stop."

SPORTING GOSSIP
Here's another — from the east. The
date line explains Its news value:
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. I.—Reports from
the west make statements to the effect
that Jim Jeffries Is making frantic efforts
to discover who doped him on that fatal
Fourth of July. In fact, those reports even
go far enough to insinuate that a small
fortune Is being squandered in research
work and that the Jeffries family Is turn
ing Itself into a detective bureau, having
purchased a bloodhound. As yet the trail
has led only into the confines of mystery.
The coroner's jury cannot even produce the
corpse. All the followers of the alleged
lopeiter have returned to camp weak and
despairing. Their hunts have hut led them
Into a morass of misinformation. There Is
one clew which, it Is said, the native sons
have not followed. That clew Is to the
effect that the doping was done by a tail,
dark man with powerful shoulders, early in
the bout.
The Jiu iltau and wrestling artists who
are to take part in the Jai> athletics at

GRAFT PROBERS TO
GET TURF BOOKS
New York Legislative Committee
Trying to Trace $300,
--000 Boodle Fund
NEW YORK. Dec. I.—The books of the
Metropolitan Turf association, an organiza
tion of bookmakers which flourished before
the passage of the Hughes anti-betting bills,
will be placed before the legislative graft
investigating committeo tomorrow.
This announcement was made tonight by
Isldor Kresel, counsel for tin- committee.
He said James J. Evans, treasurer of the
association, who was subpoenaed on Wed
nesday, had agreed to appear, bringing the
books.
Mr. Evans was a witness at the graft
hearing today. He was willing tp be au
thority for the statement that iii a pre
liminary examination he found entries show
ing subscriptions by members amounting to
•'an enormous sum," not less than $300,000.
The Metropolitan Turf association, under
the rule of the old regime, was permitted
to make books on the tracks of the Jockey
club. Many of Its members wero men of
wealth.
Testimony heard by the committee that
Influential members of the Jockey club
raised a fund of $500,000 at a dinner at

bills was characterized by August Belmont,
president of the club, as absurd. But Linn
Bruce, chief counsel for the committee, es

SULLIVAN MAY BE
GIVEN BOUT HERE
Baron Long Offers to Bet $1000
His Boy Can Win from
Jim Flynn
I Jim Flynn has finally found some- ..
thing to do. The Fighting Fireman,
after vainly seeking for a match, was
accommodated yesterday, when Pro
moter McCarey agreed to a bout with
Dan Sullivan, the date being unde
cided. In all probability some Decem
ber day will be selected, as Sullivan
Is anxious to get in action and pre
fers an early opportunity to show.
TJot only will the men battle for a
winner's and loser's end of their cut
of the gate receipt., but a $1000 bet is
also among the possibilities. Baron
Long, who- Is handling Sullivan, wired
his desire to wager a bunch of the
filthy on his boy's chances, and an
Flynn has all along talked about a
side issue, some coin is apt to change
hands. \
Long thinks pretty well of Sullivan
and Is perfectly satisfied to let his
money express this opinion. As soon *
as Flynn signifies his willingness to
bet, the former Jeffries Athletic club
chief will send down a certified check.
The only condition Long imposes la
that the bout be scheduled for at least
twenty rounds, at catch weights.
Flynn is ready to fight at any time
and give the usual good account of
himself. The fireman has been putting
in some strenuous afternoons at Jack
Doyle gymnasium and with a little
more training should be fit to answer
the bell. Sullivan is In San Francisco
and as soon as a date is decided on
will come south with Manager Long
and select a training camp.
