The laurels of the day went to the local man, and his victory has set a new standard for the game on this coast. All other matches in which either Hardy or Whitney figured were foregone conclu- sions and the latter is now the win- ner of the All-Comers’ tournament of 1899, As such he will meet Sumner Hardy this afternoon for the cham- plonship of the Pacific Coast. The tennis loving people of San Ra- fael, as well as the adjacent towns, scented a battle from afar and gath- ered on the courts an hour before the calling of the match. The western stand was packed with women in light summer array and men in duck cos- tumes. It was like the old days, when tennls was the pet sport of the fash- jonable world, drawing society with a magic wand. The principals appeared a half hour later than the scheduied fime and the crowd settied down for what was expected to be a two hours’ engagement. ‘o many the match was a surprise, for Hardy had been picked the win- ner. At any rate, it was thought that Hardy would force Whitney to fight e e P every inch of ground before resultant victory. After the struggle, when Whitney had captured the virtual championship by defeating Hardy in three straight sets—and with compara- tive ease—there were many who could not realize what had taken place. The prettiest and fastest tennis was that of the first set. It was a nip and tuck affair, both men playing a care- ful and watchful game. First one man would have the advantage and then another. The games stood four all and the victory at this point was either man's. Then the local knight of the asphalt spurted and by the closest, halr-splitting, placing and ac- curate volleying won the next two games and the set. A blistering sun had made itself felt, and both men used the ten minutes’ rest by a plentiful external application of water and ice. Robert N. Whitney and Billy Plunkett acted as seeonds to the lccal athlete as he lay prone upon the grass back of the clubhouse. Plun- kett fanned him with a towel, while the brother smeared cakes of ice over his face and feet. Hardy was recelv- ing a similar treatment at the hands of his friends, The second set brought the brothers of the principals to the side lines.

The bout between the heavy- weights, George Coster and Billy Meyers, who styles himself champion of the United States navy, should on that ac- count be particularly interesting. Another feature of the exhibition will be the prac- | tical demonstration by Jeffries of the re- | turn to old ring methods in the way of | position, his pose in the ring now being ‘,nm prints of Tom Cribb, Mendoza, the Belchers and others.

In the second set Hardy won the first three points, but there he stopped for a_while. Whitney caught up, but lost the game, which was Hardy's sole scoring in the set. Smashing, volles ing, placing and driving with a nerfect accuracy, Whitney proved too much for Sam Hardy. who soon became dis- heartened by his opponent’s show of racket cleverness. The score, 6-1, read Hardy's utter defeat. When the two faced each other for the third set Hardy was totally vanquished. Still rifts of the old-time spirit and cour- age showed from time to time, and Whitney had to battle for his victory. Hardy won but three games in the third set. A double fault by him gave the last point, game, set and match to the man who won the championship from him two years ago. But one other match during the day is worthy of comment. It was the semi-finais between Selby and Grant Smith. The former, wearied and foot- sore, dragged himself through five sets, after his opponent had scored two against _him. he champtonship match this after- noon between George Whitney and Sumner Hardy promises to be even better tennis than that of yestérda: Sumner and “Brother” Sam have beeu playing an even game of late, and the present champion will fight hard to re- tain his positign on the tennis pedes- tal. In the mnrnlnf there will be a consolation doubBles for all the losers. The results of yesterday's play are: Grant Smith beat Dr. Phillips, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4. Selby beat Roth, 6-4, 6-8, 6-3, 8-6. Whitney defeated Welihe, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3. Hardy won from Dibblee by de- fault. Sel beat Smith, 2-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-1.
