LARGE LIST OF ENTRIES 18 EXPECTED Post and Davidson Among the Cracks to Take Part. YEAR’3 FIRST BIG EVENT The tenth annual tournament of the Southern Lawn Tennis Association begins tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, and prom- ises to be one of the best ever held by the association. The entries are expected to be larger than ever before, including a larger number of players from the north and east than at any previous event. The entries are not scheduled to close until tonight, and a large number of additional applications are expected before the closing time ar- rives, The drawings for the matches will be held this evening at 8 o'clock. In addition to assigning the various players, the com- mittee In charge of the tournament will also close up all minor details, leaving nothing undone that will tend to make the event one of the most notable in the his- tory of the Southern Lawn Tennis Associa- tion. A gross of excellent tennis balls have been received, the donation of Wright & Ditson of Boston. Last year the tournament of the assocla- tion was held at Baltimore, but this year Washington is honored with the presence of the celebrated tennis cracks of the coun- try. A large delegation of Baltimore play- ers can be expected, some to participate in the tournament and others to cheer them. Another important factor in the tourna- ment this year will be the advent of the tennis players of Georgetown University. The presence of the students is expected to have a material effect upon the general playing of the tournament. For some time the young men of the university have been In daily practice preparing for the coming games. About ten persons will be placed to compete in the match—Driscoll, MeMahony, Gower, Egan, Dugan and Tobin being the most promising. The Georgetown players will have some advantage,inasmuch as they have dirt courts of their own upon which to practice, and this will count for some- thing in the tournament. It has been only of late years that the association permitted other than residents of the south to participate in the champion- ship games, but this has been done to give a larger list cf entries, which would Virtually insure better playing. This has had a good effect and the tournaments. since the change have been attended by ‘he best players in the country. The New York and New England representation in. the tournament, which begirs tomoirow, is expected to be jarger than ever. The title cf champion of the south is row held ty A. H. S. Post of Baltimore, who was recently elected president of the association, He is a comparatively young man, being about twenty-seven years of age, bur a cracking good player. He is what is known as a ret player, standing altogether clese to the net. He can make some phenomenal returns of the tremen- dous drives of his opponents and his smashing 13 about as near perfect as it 13 possible to be. On ground strokes, how- ever, his playing is orly fair. He cannot handle the ball when swerved below the waist. Anything above the shoulder he can get at with remarkable quickness, and his work in this direction is excel- lent. His style of playing is well suited to a grass court, but is somewhat different on a dirt court. Post will not defend the honor in the tournament this year, and it may be that he ts slightly afraid to play on the dirt courts of the Bachelors’ Club. Outside of winning the champlonship this year he has held the honor several times before. He first became the cham- pion of the south in 1889, when he was only nineteen years of age. He won it in 189), and in 1801 he defenced the title suc- cessfully. For the followirg four years he did not enter, and last year he only joined in to fill out the Ist of ertries, there being fifteen rames on the list, necessitating eitther arother man or the dropping out of one of the entrants. He played in good style and finally won out, defeating John Davidson, the local champion, only by one point. John Davidson, the local champion,stands an excellent chance of winning the cham- picnship this year, and should he play in the form he did last year he will walk away with the championship trophy. He has met most of the players in the tourney and defeated most of the prominent men. Last year he was badly handicapped when he played for the championship. The weather was extremely warm, and he had played four sets, which fatigued him great- ly. Post was fresh and yet had a hard tus- sle to win the honor. Mr. Davidson was born in Maryland, just outside the District line, and is but little over thirty years of age. He has been play- ing tennis for the past fifteen years, from the time he was a boy at college. He was actively engaged in helping to organize the Southern Lawn Tennis Association, and helped to arrange for the first tournament which was held in this city on the courts at the marine barracks. He has played in all of the championship events, and, while he has never won the championship, he al- ways managed to play either in the finals or the semi-finals. For the past five years Mr. Davidson has successfully defended his title of champion of the District. He has won one prize by holding the championship for three con- secutive years, and should he secure the championship again this year he will be entitled to the beautiful loving cup which is the championship trophy. The characteristics of Mr. Davidson's playing are the long sweeps of the racquet as it descends for an under stroke or an upper stroke. He handles his racquet more at arm’s length than any other local player. His accuracy in scoring points by his side line playing is prenomenal. Though he has been practicing a good deal of late, his playing is not quite up to standard, though Mr. Davidson says he feels better than he ever did for tennis playing. According to the official ranking of the fifty-six American experts, Davidson is placed away down in class eight, while A. H. S. Post is placed in class six, two grades higher. Their rating is regarded as manifestly unjust, and has been the sub- ject of much criticism. According to an interview published recently in a New York newspaper, over the unjustness of the rat- ing, a tennis expert of that city is credited with saying: “In my opinion Davidson would prove the strongest man of the whole fifty-six ranked, if a handicap tour- rament were held at the beginning of the season at the odds assigned in the official ranking.” As the tournament tomorrow Is the first big tennis event of the season in the coun- try, it will be an extra inducement for the tennis players who will endeavor to get on their “tennis legs,” for the events which come immediately after, the next great tournament being the playing for the cham- pionship of the middle states, which will be held at Orange, N. J., June 10. Fort Myer-Chevy Chase Polo Game.

The Senators had no trouble in winning from Loulsville yesterday, Fraser being an easy mark for the visiting team. On ac- count of Brooklyn lcsing the Senators took an upward stride, and are now a few points ahead of the Bridegrooms. Eighteen hits were made by the visitors, while Mercer and German were both effective. Mercer's finger was injured by a hot one from Hassameer's bat in the fifth,and from that time on German was a complete puz- zle to the Colonels. Selbach put out seven rien and fielded his position generally in his masterly manner. McGuire got in a home run, one of the longest hits ever seen on the Louisville grounds. Just to show what 4 good base ball town the Colonels’ village is the rooters turned out to the number of 9,000 as a result of the winning streak of the home team.

It was planned that the Senate commit- tee on civil service and retrenchment should hold a special meting Saturday to conclude the investigation into the charges that the public printer violated the law in placing his office under civil service rules last August. But at 11 o'clock there were but two mem- of the committee present, Senators Wal- thall and Chilton, and after consultation they agreed that the best course to pursue was to postpone the hearing set for Satur- day toa time when either Chairman Pritch- ard or Senator Lodge, who is the author of the resolutionfi under which the committee is acting, might be present.
