Two tournaments were played on the tennis courts yesterday, and both were well attended. The California Club players wereengaged in one of the most successful handicap singles events held in a long time. On the park courts an open mixed doubles tournament fur- nished good sport. The entry list at the California Club was unusually large, and affairs were better managed than they have been for years. A light lunch was served, and the affair was more like those held ten years ago than any held recently.

The day was an ideal one for the sport No records were broken as the trac was too soft. Some of the best athletes on the coast took part in the contest The sury of the day of Abadie of the Univ. fornia by L. Schwartz, a Lowell High | School sprinter, in the 100-yard dash. Abadie heat | and Gerhardt ran a'de; and E “l in the semi-final the race would be betw They, | however, did not count on Schw: aflz who developed a burst of speed and beat Abadie out by three feet. The two-mile race also proved inter- esting. In the last quarter Hackley of the University of California tcok the | lead and sprinted away from Maun- drell and Garcia. H. W. Bell, a promis- ing Stanford athlete, captured two firsts and one second. He shattered no records, but proved a dangerous com- petitor. The University of California was represented by P. G. Hannigan, A. C. Plaw, Victor Ligda, R. Abadie, R. C. Hackley and H. W. Ro all of | whem showed up well. The initial contest for the Gaelic foot- ball championship of the Gaelic Athletic League was highly exciting. The Wolfe | Tones defeated the Emeralds by a score | of 5 to 2. The victors will hold the H. J. Crocker cup for a year. When won three timfes it becomes the permanent property of the club. The teams were made up as follows: Wolfe Tones—C. MclInerney (captain), P. Kearney, J. MeGurrin, J. Lawler, P. Crowe, P. Stapleton, T. McInerney, J. Heafey, B. Fox, J. Laughlin, P. Con- lon, T. Lane, J. J. Lane, J. Hannigan, @it e e the day's play. The successful players were Harry Rolfe, Ray Splivalo, Jo- seph S. Tobin, Will Allen, J. D. Mac- Gavin, Alden Ames, Herbert Schmidt and Charles Kuehn. These eight players represent every class in the club but one, and that is the limit class. Allen and MacGavin are “owe 1 Tobin is “owe 2-6"; Schmidt is “owe 1-6”: Rolfe snd Spli- valo are qrralch" Kuehn is “4-6,” and Ames is “15 4-6.” The fact lhal these representative players are left show how perfectly the ‘handicapping was done. The feature of the day was the work of Joe Tobin. Tobin ten years ago was considered one of the pest players. He lived up to his reputation yesterday, winning both of his matches without losing a set. His match with Frank Mitchell was an interesting one. Mitch- ell gave Tobin “‘owe 4-5,” and the wise ones thoug; he would win easily. They did not figure on the steadiness of the ex-cnampion, which won out. for him. L. C. Bozarth, with “15 3-6,” had an easy time with Collier, who owed 15. Schmidt (“owe 1-6”) had a hard time beating Dr. Lovegrove (15 4-6). Fol- lowing is the tournament by rounds: First round—Harry Rolfe (scratch) beat R B. Comnell (scratch), 4-6. 6 R. B. Dag- et a0y howt Herbert Lonk (4.0, 1.8, 0. 6-4; L. C. Bozarth (15 3-6) beat W. B.

What was lacking in the other matches, however, was found in the final match. This was one of the closest seen at the park for a long time. It took all five sets to settle the question of suprefmacy. A noticeable feature is that not one of the five sets was close. The contestants were Miss Hazel Hotchkiss and George Baker, and Miss Ethel Ratcliffe and Charles Dunlap. They met on even terms. When the former won the first set 6-1; it looked easy for them. Their oppo- nents won the next two sets just as easily. The last two sets went to Miss Ratcliffe and Baker, giving them the match.
