Pretty Tennis la Sooth Thla Week.
Some pretty tennis will be seen to

all Callfornlans: Ralph Gorrlll. of this
city, and such women as the Sutton
sisters and Miss Haxel llotchklss are
entered. 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.
McLoughlln. will make the long jour
ney to the Antipodes. -
On the horlxon there appears but one
hitch In the fact that Lamed and
Wright are not on friendly term. It
Is said that Wright la of the opinion ,

that Lamed coached McLoughlln how
to defeat him at Long wood, and later
told Bundy the same trick at Newport
a week ago. w hen the veteran rigni
again met his Waterloo. 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. In a sensational five-set
match. Larned has proved that he is in
he best form he has shown for some
years, despite his age. 40 years.
Speaking of Bundy. his work as run

year and his winning the intermoun-

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.

BILLION HOURS WASTED
Transit in Cllie9 Expensive, Besides
Consuming Much Time.
NEW YORK. Sept. 3. 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

better housing than is provided today
and also save 1 000,000,000 of hours of
