The tournament. will be purely a men's doubles affair and some of the best tennis talent in the south will be represented. Already a number I of enlriea hava been received and it is expected by the management that a record entry list will result, Such stars as Tom Ferrandini, Dick Hinkley, the Qodshall brothers, Horrell, Chappellet and Hunecke have signified their Intentions ot entering the tourney and thus some excellent matches are in the making.

I 1 il.ll4 11 1- I J. I tt.l Hi', MAY UPSET PLAN OF OPPOSITION "Kill Await Decision of Aa-l tional Commission. Paddy Driscoll will Report to the Angels.

Pair of Vernon Holdouts Spoil .1 Tranquillity. BY HAIUIV A. WILLIAMS. President Powers (it the Angels la quicker on the trigger than the national commission, That aw-goost body having failed to act In the Jack Fournier case, Powers yesterday up and fired a telegram at tha slugging Frenchman instructing him to report at once. For rapid action.

Gen. Foch hasn't anything on Powers, and the sudden-: neas of this move may upset the plans of the opposition. He does rot believe that the White 60S have tent Fournier a contract. If this is true the oversight would seem to Indicate that the So do not have a I great deal of faith In the validity of their claim. Anyway, order- Ilng Fournier to jeport.

Powers keeps the record clear In the cane and 1 maintains his claim to the player. The situation will remain in abeyance until the national commission renders iU decision. Meantime the fans will get a good deal of satisfaction out of seeing Fournier in an Angel uniform, In case be decides to report, and this will tend to strengthen the growing belief that he may be back on the job at first base permanently. i i Manager Ked Killefer has re ceived a wire -etatins that faddy DrlHColl -will, arrive here with the Cuba on March J8v Driscoll wan the demon quarter-back of the Naval Training School, which played at Pasadena New tear's. If he can dash around til diamond like he does across the tanbark there wan be a whole lot for the remainder of the Angel infield to do.

He Is slated for a whirl at short, and if he delivers the goods there, will continue to whirl for seven months and seven because if he 'gets to whirling at top speed it may take him a week after the season closes to run down. At least that is the way the kid's apead has been described to me. -Another wire "was received from the Cubs giving the Oakland address of Outfielder Schick. Until his arrival n'obody seemed to know that he wa in that city. Not until It waa learned, that Schick had wintered in Oakland did anybody suspect him of being eccentric.

Bill Ivenworthy is expected to breeze In from the Oakland shipyards today. Bill has been Boing ovep the top there with his dinner pail every morning for several months. He hasn't signed his con tract with the club, but his coming is believed to be a prelude to this. Kenworthy hasn't admitted that he is a hold-out, but In a series of letters to the club he has intimated that he Is getting a constant ralae In I salary. Plainly, he intended to give the impression that the struggling shipbuilding industry could not hope to survive without his services, and I as a result it hardly would be worth his while to play baseball.

One, in I fact, might be led to believe that he I and Edward N. Hurley and Charley eSchwab were in cahoots. It is believed, however, that he will relent end consent to extend a helping hand to the great national paatime that baseball may not perish from the 1 face of the Curly Brown, the side-winder, arrived yesterday from Spring Hill, Kan. 1 He trained at Spring Hill so as to get In condition for July 1. W.

F. Blclcenbach, of San Pedro, attended yesterday's workout of the Angels, thereby furnishing Indisputable proof that the season is Approaching. Last season Bickon-bach attended 104 games Ktraight, i equalling his record of the year be-l fore. Then the league blew and he j.waa prevented front beating his own mark. The day marked the return of I President Powers from Palm Strings.

and things were moving with even more than the usual eclat at Angel headquarters. For the first time in a week there was magnating in the main office and demi-magnating in the outer While Powers and Morley vera performing these functions, Sam Grant was answer-log the telephone in the anteroom, and Red Killefer was managing the athletes at top speed out on the diamond. Powers wore a hunting milt, with an old sweater that looked like it had been salvaged from the estate of Daniel Boone, while Morley was arrayed in purple and An linen and a checked suit calculated to cause shell I have heard the battle of the Marne in the morning, a session of the Bourse in Paris at noon and Billy Sunday tn a tabernacle at "night, but Jim's new suit Is the nearest thing to perpetual noise that I know of. Only when he takes It oft on retiring, does quiet settle over the city. Because of Morley superior ear-torial embellishment, strangers were loss to know which was the magnate and which the demi-mag-nete.

For the benefit of these it may bo explained that Mr. Powers wnokes a slightly longer cigar than Mr. Morley. Killefer has arranged a hunch of practice games for his club. The first will be today at 3:15 o'clock, when the Angels will warm up ngainst the Loyola College club.

Pertica, Valencia and Brandon will endeavor to fool the collegians. The Angels will play the Pasadena Merchants. Sunday afternoon, and are expecting to arrange a garnet with Goodman's team for Monday. Except for the development of two the day passed, pleasantly for Tom Darmody and Bill Klek. The holdouts developed while Bill wan busy developing young athletes on the Vernon diamond.

The- event consisted of wires from Zinn Beck and Joe FInneran demanding more money than they had received In the big league, This to too nructi. The world has suffered enough from goofs, war and the flu without a enuplo of holdouts putting in their oar. This is one reason when the pre and the pub- 11c aren't going to pay much attention to the baseball athlete heeflng aloud in the wilderoesa unless he has a genuine STievanrav Aside from the ueual two wrk-Wnts at Vernon. th only excitement Has caused when somebody stole match of the day was that participated in by Mrs. Roxcoe and Mrs.

Requa. Tha former, who has been playing a good consistent game throughout the tourney, eliminated Mrs. Uequa, the ultimate result being, 6 and S. A number of the players' backers followed the match und were well rewardfidffor their time, as the contest proved a veritable golfintr duel. From the time they teed-off It was a nip and tuck affair and not until tha seventeenth hole was reached did Mrs.

Roscoe really look as the prospective victor. At thlt point, Mrs. Roscoe took a brace and after pulling several nice putts won her match and thus landed in the semifinal round. Two other worthy matches, that offered a number of thrills were played by Ml.ss Doreen Cavanaugh and Mrs. Jack, Mrs.

Klllott and Mn. Kegley. Both of these were in the first flight and Miss Cavanaugh and Mrs. Elliott were the victors. Miss Cavanaugh won 6 aud while Mrs.

Elliott had a card of 2 up. The latter contest was a hard-fought affair, hringinar out Several sensational shots on the part of the contestants. In the third flight, Mrs. Wright defeated Mrs. Winters 1 up and many dandy shots took place during the set-to.

The driving of both players wus beautiful to watch. In the fifth flight airs. Boyle came to the front and eliminated Mrs. W. Smith 2 up.

Mrs. Warren defeated Mrs. Miner, 2 and, in their match in the sixth flight, which gave the victor the right to participate in the finals of this flight. As a sort of a side issue, a special event was staged yesterday afternoon, which was match play against par. Mrs.

Guy Cochran and Mls Doreen Cavanaugh were tied, each having 7 gross, 1 handicap and a net of 8. Miss Cavanaugh played exceptionally well and as the result made an 87. This is considered extraordinary for a woman. A playoff will take place at a later date. With the first flight players now in the semi-final round.

It ia ex pected that Some dandy playing will take place for today. Mrs, Roscoe will contest Miss Cavanaugh. Many of the wiseacres are Pinning their hopes on Mrs. Itoscoe, but In Miss Cavanaugh she is meeting one of the best ot the women golfer of the south. Mrs.

Elliott will play Mrs. pittner. Play in the defeated eight of the first flight has also reached the semi-final round, while in the remaining flights, finals will be held today. The specially arranged event for. those who have already been eliminated from the tourney and which is known as a consolation affair, will take place this afternoon.

Play will start at 1 o'clock. The tournament will be brought to a clone tomorrow, finals being 4 The Autocar pany one and the S-!
