Pretty Tennis la Sooth Thla Week. Some pretty tennis will be seen to morrow at Del Monte In the play for tha pacific States championship, when such men as Long. McLoughlln. Bundr. Sln sabaugh.

The reaching of the finals by May Sutton and Hazel Hotchklss yester day Is proof positive of great play w hen they meet, another time "for blood." Practically all those who will par ticipate' hare won many honors In ten nis tourne during the year and will now hare an opportunity to show what they ran do against each other. Janes at present Is champion. ex-Champton Ing having failed to show np last year to defend his title, and It seems most probable that Long or Bundy will be the 1910 Pacific Coast title-holder. But that remains to be seen, and It goes without earlag that the play at Del Monte will be watched with more Inter est this year than for some years pre vious. This Is the first time the Pacific Northwest has been represented at the Pel Monte tourney, even unofficially. and the many friends of Gorrlll will be deeply Interested In the showing amid the Callfornlans. where they play ten nis all the year round, which accounts for the experts that state turns out. Probably no match of the year will be more Interesting from a country wide focus than that between MI'S Hotchklss. National woman's champion, and either one of the Sutton girls. Miss Florence Sutton is Pacific Coast title- holder now and Miss Hotchklss. while defeated by her last year, has a better chance to win this year than ever be fore, nnless It happens that Mlas May Sutton, who Is conceded the best woman tennis plsyer In the world, puts out of tha running the National champion and challenges her sister for the title, which sne herself formerly held. fpeaklng of Miss Hotchklss. she prob ably holds a world's record all by her self this year In the fact that she has toured the country without losing a set. In the Oregon state, in the Pacific Northwest and in the Washington state recently at Seattle she seldom allowed her opponents more than two or three games and more often but one game In fact at Seattle she played one match In which she did not allow her opponent a point. If not a world's record for tke season. It alone Is unique. Larned and Wright t'nfriendly. From the latest information It ap pears that six-time Champion Lamed will lead the American team to Aus tralia In rhallenge play for the Davis International cup. The champion Is ready to make the long trip In Decem ber f a suitable team ran be made up, and it is believed that Beats C. Wright and either Thomas C. Bundr or tha other California phenomenon. M. E.

Whatever may be the facta in the case. It Is cer tain that Larned has taken the Cali fornia boy. McLouKhlln. under his wing as a protege. He was remarkably successful with the Westerner In the doubles the middle of last month at Southampton. I I., where the two de feated the Pacific Const pair. Bundy and Hendrirk.

Greatest Exhibition of Game Ever Witnessed on Coast In Woman's Play Kecorded In Matches on Del Monte ' Courts. DEL MONTE, Cal., Sept. 3. (Spe cial.) The Pacific States tennis cham pionships at the Del Monte courts brought the competition In the women's singles to the final round. Miss May Sutton won from Mrs. B. O. Bruce In straight sets, and Miss Hazel Hotch kiss won in like manner from Miss Golda Myer. The winners will' meet to contend for the right to play the present cham pion. Miss Florence Sutton, for the title. The first match of the day was between Miss May Sutton and Mrs. B. O. Bruce. Mrs. Bruce has been play ing phenomenally good tennis through out the tournament, and at the start struck a gait which was too- rapid for even her more famous sister to curb. Best Tennis Ever Seen. The spectators agreed that It was the best tennis contest they had ever wit nessed between the Sutton sisters. The necessity called from Miss May button the greatest exhibition of severe driv ing and volleying which she has ever irlven an the Coast. Fighting desperately for every point in hard-fought rallies, she gradually broke down Mrs. Bruce's attack and put her on the defensive. Mrs. Bruce used a very severe chop stroke in the early part of the set, and taking the net often, was accurate and severe in dealing with overhead balls. Rallies Tell on Player. In the early stages, and until the set was well advanced, it seemed that she had a good chance of breaking inore than even with her sister, but the ral lies were so long and the piay so hard that it became a question of endurance and she could not maintain her plan of battle. ' Once on the defensive she was com pelled to run so hard from side to side for those relentless drives that the re sult was inevitable. The final score of the match stood B-2. fi-2. Miss Sutton has never driven harder or covered her court in better sty than in today's match, and, a battle royal is expected when she meets Miss Hazel Hotchklss In the finals. Beautiful Play Recorded. Tho other semi-final match, between Miss Hazel Hotchklss and Miss Golda Mver. in some respects resembled the Bruce-Sutton match and contained much beautiful play. .Miss Hotcnki-s gave a very line ex hibition of volleying and of chopping from the back court, while the ace earnine back and forehand -lrl es of Miss Myer were much In evidence. Miss Hotchklss won the match by a score of 6-2. 6-2. Throughout the match, tho play was fast and called forth the most strenu ous kind of work. Miss Hotchklss proved able to meet the severest' kind of demands on her strength and speed, and the final will surely be a great contest. The drawing for the men's singles will be made tomorrow hlgrht. WOLGAST SIGNS FOR GO PACKEV M'FARLAXD TO FIGHT IV 5IILWAI KKE TOWX.

That the re markable increase in the population ot the big cities of the country shown by the thirteenth census, is one of ths leading causes of the prevailing high cost of living, is the declaration of Pro fessor Benjamin Clark Marsh, secre tary of the Committee on Congestion of Population in New York. 'We will have to stop land specula tion and eliminate the cost of transit," said Mr. Marsh, "If we wish to reduce the high cost of living, for they are two fundamental matters which make life expensive for urban dwellers. "Another peril Is that we are hous ing our workmen with poor regard for economy. Land for the cement dwelling-houses In certain parts of New York is worth from $12 a square foot upwards. ir we couia distribute factories and population so that toilers could walk to their work, New York could cut out $10,000,000 year In carfare and still provide better housing than is provided today and also save 1 000,000,000 of hours of time."
