How The Journal Expert Viewed the
Cuts, Drives, Nets and Strokes of
All That Took a Hand in the Last
. . Tournament ' : . ' ' ' ..'..
' After the tournament la always asked
ths question. "DM the beet man win!
The tennle eraake have been buay dur
ing the last week telling bow - It aU
, happened In ' the Oregon state tourna-
ntent and those that were beaten hare
bean trying to find out how they can
' correct the weak spots.
' There Is no question but ' that the
' state ohamplonahlp tn- gentlemen's sta
tries went to the right nan, although
he flnal match-' was a ' battle royal.
Goss has been' playing a most consist
ent same and it was not thought, that
Bellinger had. even a small chance ot
-winning, but he certainly cava a good
aocount of - himself. Goss placed his
( reliance In his ability to decipher his
opponent's game, but Instead of -doing
this his own game- was time and time
gain torn to pieces. ., .
Bollinger's. Crood Work. ).
: Bellinger is. to bo', congratulated for
his line game. Very often" he asserted
himself rn a, wonderful manner, end he
kept his head straight through the'
match. His overhand drive la a beauti
ful shot and for. the first time he ueed
it to Its fullest Talus.. No man In Port
land has so perfect a stroke, but here
tofore Bellinger has played It short snd
full half of his returns dropped between
the net snd the service line. -, la his
match with Ooss, however, he not only
played ' his ' shots very deep, but Used
excellent judgment, in placing. :
Bellinger certainly has the making of
- a great tennis player. He Is easily up
. set on the courts and gets disgusted If
i he makes a poor shot. This Is to be
: lamented, for It only allows his oppo-
" rent to get control of the situation. It
- should be said to his credit, however,
that he is fast overcoming, this fsult
i and a cleaner, better sport never batted
a tennis ball than Dan Bellinger. , .
Wloksrsham'S amsi '.
I , Wlckersham fought a good fight and
played good, consistent tennis. For the
' first time Wlckersham has been using
' Jus head ss well as bis muscles and-the
' results have been most noticeable. He
has an -excellent serve and Is very fast.
He has a world of confidence, which is
a good thing, and tt Is to be hoped that
,'. he will keep up his steady, consistent
work. " - - . "
. Dick Wilder was unfortunate In her
Ing a bad streak of being off his game,
and be did not play the gams of which
he is capable.
Turner, from Ban - Francisco, Is a
new msn and for a set was a great pus
sle to Goes, whom hs met In the early
part ef the tournament.- He-has many
' peculiar shots and strokes, but has thus
fsr played with great unsteadiness, snd
. It is hardly known Just how good a man
t be- really la. , , . ..... r
. -(- ' ChaBsng Btetoh. -. - -' . .
- '' The challenge - match in the. men's
doubles was a great disappointment, for
many thought that Ooss snd Lewis
' would at least give Bellinger and Wlck
" era ham a big fight. If they did not win.
It ended In an easy victory for the last
'year's champions. '- Wlckersham and
' Bellinger are both good net players and
they stood there like a stone wall, -and
1 were rarely passed. Ooss snd Lewta
are squally good at the net and their
team work Is perfect. They were easily
beaten, but should have given a far
' better account of themselves and another
match would be worth seeing.
Miss Amy Heltshu successfully de
- fended her title saalnst lilss Nan Rob-
er-tson. Miss Heltshu Is without doubt
- the best tennis player la Oregon, but
he will have to broaden her gams If
he expects to maintain her supremacy.

TIM HURST'S BRIEF
- REPORT OF HIS FIGHT
Timothy Hurst Is a bit fatter now
than he was In his former days, but hs
has changed none tn his disposition.
Hurst and Clarke Griffith' had a historic-battle
at' New Tor k this season
for which both had to do pennance, but
the funny side of the story has as yet
to be told. Just what Hurst and Grif
fith said jt each other before the bat
tle began Is known only to the pair,
but It must have heen something pretty
sarcastic,, as both are good at handing
out "roasts.' Hurst was supposed, of
course, to make a report of the affair to
Ban Johnson. . Now Hurst would rather
talk an hour any day than to write a
letter IS lines long. - 8o Hurst's report
to Johnson was very much like Finns-
gan's abbreviated report of ths train
wreck. It merely said: -l
-Griffith and myself had a little mix-
up this afternoon, but I don't think he
will give me sny mo.'s trouble."
Of course, the papers the next day
came out with long and detailed stories
about the trouble, or at least as detailed
an account as they could get with Hurst
snd Griffith trying to say nothing, and
Johnson hsd to hurry to New York- for
a verbal explanation from Hurst of why
hs "soaked" Griffith. . v .

"Among American girls Iswn tennis Is,
comparatively speaking, a new game,'
says Miss May Sutton, In ths London
Express. "I mean It la only recently
that girls on ths other side of the At-
lantlo have begun to regard the gams ss
a serious pastime, so that ths number of
players who have acquired that particu
lar standard of excellence which pieces
them obviously in a distinct class from
the timers' snd "duffers' is small. In
England ths general standard of play
among ths gentle sex is beyond question
far higher than in America,, mainly be
cause they are more ambitious and en
thusiastic. In 1 England, so I havs
been told, and can, from what Z have
seen, ceadlly believe, ilreotly. a girl be
gins to play passably wall her thoughts
turn to Wimbledon, snd in dus course of
time ahe probably finds herself there.

ican lawn tennis girl, but comparatively
few look forward to going there.
V Beg-aralag IrtasAards. ' -
"But tt must be remembered that ths
championship meeting at Wimbledon has
oeen a very much longer time In exist
ence than the annual gathering at Phila
delphia. . When the American girl begins
to compare her standard of play with
that to be seen at Philadelphia, just as
ths average English clrl has ths Wim
bledon standard always In view, I should
say ths general standard of- ths
American" girl's . play will become
greatly Improved. Without boasting. I
do not think, with the exception ot my
sister, there la a girl In America who
would havs very much chance against
ms In a single. I took to ths gams seri
ously directly I began to play. I played
In my first tournament at It .years.
From ths day I played in my first tour
nament I felt full of ambition and full
of anthuslssm. I wanted to rise clear
above the players I saw about mo, snd
reit I could do so. This Is ths feeling
that to my mind, must animate the suc
cessful player. I havs always watched
first-rste play with Immense Interest
It - possesses a fascination for me like
nothing else in the world. But I think
can safely say I have never copied any
one'a style. ' 'The successful player must
