A few of the poorer pla have complained that the club members usé the three asphalt courts at all times for their to: rnaments. This is trug but | it is claimed there are enough clay courts | to satisfy the demands of the few who | | do not participate i the tournaments. | Only the three asphalt courts are re | saved for tournament play, and there | eight or nine clay courts. The ma- of the players who frequent the park are in favor of holding tournaments. it is the latter which keep the game alive. The tournament comthittee is anxious | to hoid an open tournament on the publi courts New Y day. It has not as yet | r permission from the authorities | to do so, but it s expected this will be | forthcoming in due time. An event of | this kind would bring together the. best | from the California Club, from | nd from the park. | Devotees of tennis are pleased with the | interest the ladies are taking in the pas. i The two events held last week | were a success in every way and brought | out some players who give promise of de- veloping into champions. Miss Eva Var- | ney is easily the most promising lady player in the bay counties. She is not as- skillful as Miss Hall, but the latter is a veteran and has not shown any recent improvement. Miss Varney made a good | showing against Miss Hall, and would bave made a much better one had she plaved at the net throughout the match. Miss Varney with the proper practice would make an excellent net player. It | seems strange the ladies avoid playing at | the net at all times, while the men are continually fighting for that position. Even the famous Sutton sisters play in the back court as much as possible. May | Sutton will never meet defeat until some | | lady becomes an expert at the net. When | this happens Miss Sutton will meet her master, ¢ | Although the subject of a Christmas tournament on the California Club courts was broached but two days previous to the 25th, the event met with remarkable success. Twelve teams entered the tour- nament, and the tennis in most cases was good. Drs. McChesney and Hill. aided by a_handicap of, “15” reached the finals, With_this handicap they beat Whitney and Mitchell, one of the three scratch teams. They will have to play angther | | seratch team to-morrow. MacGavin and | Smith‘are probably the strongest team in | the tournament and will be hard ones for { the medicos to beat. With the handicap | ailowed the match should go the full five | | sets. It will be played at 2 o'clock. The | winners will receive silver cups, donated | fer the event by Gus Sutro.- | J. D. Grant has offered the California’ | Club a cup, but nothing has been ‘done | as regards it yet. The tournament com- | mittee will probably report in favor of | kuying two cups instead of one and hav- ing a series of tournaments for them. The Bellevue Tennis Club evened up matters by beating the Alameda Club on Christmas day. The annual interclub matches were won last year by the Ala- Al Cummir of the Field and Tule ‘Club had an excellent shoot on Wednes- day and Thursday.

Coroner Leland was informed yesterday that the *iree-months-old child of Jane Nourigat sad died suddenly in a mater- nity home at 2518 Howard street, con- ducted by Madame Juilly, whose son is a physician there. Death is belleved to have been produced by natural tauses, but the incident is interesting from the fact that the child’s mother is prosecuting Marius Cliscagne in the Police Courts for breach of promise and betrayal. @ iiviviiniivivieiemliei il @ meda Tennis Club.
