* Out of Bounds: President Bush’s son Neil was disqualified from a tennis tournament in Denver over the weekend for playing in a bracket that was too easy for him. Bush, rated 5.5, trounced opponents in a bracket for 4.5-rated players. A tournament spokesman said: “Someone officially protested and after a review, he was disqualified . . . . It’s the player’s responsibility. He blew it.” Bush, who is battling in court over his role in a failed savings and loan, could not be reached for comment.
