Some one, who evidently did not know what he was talking about, gave to the sporting editor of the Post an article claiming that some of the managers were not pleased with the work of Joe Staple- ton, the officlal scorer. This statement is very untrue. No one has complained and no one can complain, as Mr. Staple- ton, when it comes to scoring a ball game, has not a superior in the business. I have had occasion to go over the work of many “'star” knights of the score book, during my brief sojourn in the major le have yet to find the man that can out- score ‘‘delicate Joe.” When the Balti- mores and All Americas played here some few months ago the players were aston- ished to find a man keeping score who was so perfectly posted in the art of sep- arating base hits from errors and who had such & knowledge of baseball in gen- eral. Many a flattering compliment was the Baltimore players, who during the champlonship season back East never let a game pass without a tilt of some sort with the scorers. This little incident in itself would be sufficlent to secure for Joe a life position on Nick Young's staff, as there never was a complaint in any shape manner or form entered against his work by these experts while here. These facts alone demonstrate Joe's proficiency properly take care of his rumor that some one was disple doubt originated from some pl to work, and the sed no er who gue, and | pald “Sir”" Joseph’'s ability, especially by | | Mr. awful to the rec penctrate. afting offic From Mr, ¥ < ily apparent tha a trifle chagrined over the turn in affairs, still clung to the hope that all would m be forgotten.

The mo v t important point developed in Pyne's case lies in the right of one manager to offer inducements to a player already the property of another club. If the San Jose management knew that Pyne signed a San Francisco con- tract and then made overtures to him, they should be more severely dealt with than Mr. Pyne. idea was all right, but the action was wrong. A player cannot be blamed for endeavoring to bet- ter himself, but in so doing he should be | discreet. Pyne, on finding he could not secure his release, should have let the matter drop. However, from what I can learn of the case, the real ‘villain” be- longs in San Jose. He started things a- rolling by not minding his own affairs, and it is certain had he not made over- tures to Pyne the trouble never would have occurred. As it is, Pyne’s sentence, while a just one, should be cut and the matter patched up. Not ever, without first giving other players to {IH(‘GI" and that the next case will be the ast.

On the first date the scullers will race and on the second day the oarsmen. McAusland has gone back to the Ariel Rowing Club, and will wear its colors at the regatta. He will use a skiff specially buflt for him by H. B. Kennerson on the model of a shell and much lighter than skiffs gerie- rally are. His antagonist in the special skiff race, A. W. Pape, is an excellent swimmer, and, being fond of many forms of outdoor excercise, neither a smoker nor a drinker, 1s always in good condition. H. A. Wittkopf will represent the Ariels in the shell race. If McAusiand should beat Pape at El Campo he may enter for the shell race also. The Ariels_will hold their club regatta on Sunday, June 12, when medals will be | offered for senfor and junior scullers. The | senior skiff men are Frank Wilson, Rob- | timers’ contain some good baseball. The line-up is as follows: S8an Jose. | . Catcher Kent Pitcher . .. Tberg First base ... .. Hanlon Second base ..

By noon we had reach- ed Kelseyville, and after a short rest pushed on steadily for Highlands, where we intended to spend the night. This was done easily, and the roads continuing to be good and the at- mosphere delightful, we congratulated our- selves on the choice of routes made. The forty-elght miles’ run from Calistoga had been done in very good time and with no unneces- sary exertion | Next morning, not too early, we turned our aces toward eport, where we found our- selves shortly after noon, and a brief st went on toward the Upper Lake. This is a fair three hours’' ride over decently »d roads, and on arrival there we had a choice of spending the night at either Blue Lake or Saratoga, there being but a mile and @ half between the two places. After enjoy- ing the scenery for a while we decided on Sar- atoga, and got there in good time for dinner. The Foad leads into & broad and well-wooded canyon a half mile up which we found the hotel. There are any mnumber of excellent short rides in this vicinity, and as a matter of fact we found it convenfent to make it our headquarters for a couple of days. It Wwas the intention to have reached the ecity the fourth day after starting, but the inity of the Lakes §s very fascinating to the cycler who has time to spare. Returning we took the road to Uklah, past Laurel Dell and Blue Lakes. As far as Blue Lake the road is excellent and quite level, but it is somewhat—though not very—hilly beyond. The scenery is delightful all the way, and a pleasanter round trip it is scarcely possible to_conceive. On the route described the stopping placea are so well arranged that there is not the glightest necessity for making a labor out of a apin for pleasure. The roads are very good indeed and the mountain air is deliclous. Those who have more time will find any number of Dlaces to take up temporary headquarters from Where a number of Interesting daily runs in the vicinity of the lakes can be made much in the same way as we did at Saratoga. It 1s in point of fact quite a little paradise for the cyclist. 1 would recommend that any one making this beautiful trip should first provide him- %I with one of the Associated Cycling Clubs’ road books and membership cards. The’ for- and the latter saves money in hotel bills b reason of the discounts allowed C. A. C. C. members. The regular monthly meeun% of the California Assoclated Cycling Clubs will be held this evening at 8 o’clock at the rooms of the Olympic Club Wheelmen on Post street. The most important subject to come before the board of governors will be the changing of the date of the annual twenty-mile race, which usually takes place in July. It will probably be put off until September. * Captain Coulter has called a moonlight run of the California Cycling Club for this evening, leaving the club rooms at 8:30 p. m. at Twenty-second and Foisom streets. At the destination, the beach, a clambake has been arranged. Charles J. Birdsall and Thomas H. White have been appointed lieutenants by Captain Coulter. ‘our members of the Californias left for Manila on the Peking recently, among Whom was John F.

They will probably compromise by holding a picnic and games at Mill- wood, Marin County, and President Ker- rigan is now perfecting the arrangements. As usual, all ex-members will be accorded a cordial invitation to attend. The Acme Club Wheelmen and the Bay City Wheelmen will hold a joint blind run on Sunday, June 12.

The San Francisco Kennel Club has filed a complaint with the American Ken- nel Club accusing J. B. Martin of mis- conduct in connection with dogs and dog shows. The complaint will be heard at the next meeting" of the executive board, and Interesting developments may be confidently awaited. At the recent quar- terly meeting of the A. K. C. two decis- fons affecting this coast were arrived at. The action of President Belmont in sus- pending and afterward reinstating the Pacific Mastiff Club was approved and confirmed. In the matter of Wade Collins, con- victed and suspended on his own con- fession for fraud in connection with the pedigree of a St. Bernard pup, a petition for his reinstatement was forwarded by the St. Bernard Club of California, bear- ing also the indorsement of four mem- bers of the Pacific Advisory Board. In view of the strong petition it was decided ‘to condone Collins’ offense and to cancel his unexpired suspension. An application was received from Web- ster Jones of San Francisco asking that the club rescind the suspension of his famous setter dog Count Harold, which he bought some time ago from H. T. Payne. Payne was suspended last year for making some libelous charges against James Mortimer, the judge at the Oak- jand_show, which charges Payne afte ward refused or was unable to substan- tiate. Of course all Payne's dogs were sharers in the suspension, and now Mr. Jones, who bought the Count in good faith, naturally wants the suspension re- moved. The A. K. C. however refused to accede tlohtxhedlr Ifie‘:t until Payne is urged of his disal Y. pEx‘nmett Sullivan of Menlo Park is ap- parently determined to be known _as the most versatile of our fanciers. He has lately acquired one of the finest fox ter- riers extant in the East and expects to “sweep the deck” with this latest acquisi. tion over next season’s clrcult should first learn how ¢o play baseball be- fore attempting to criticize the work of Mr. Stapleton. As a warning to other players, Mr. Pyne has been suspended for thirty days. Such is the punishment inflicted on a player who, being unable to secure his release on his own say so, resorted to work which he now undoubtedly realizes was not the “proper caper,” so to particularize. Had it been possible to have given Mr. Pyne thirty days in the “old ladies’ home,” no one doubts for a second that Manager Coffroth would have done so. But it is not always best to go to the extreme in matters so “‘separating,” and as ‘‘Hand- some’” James had the unadulterated pleas- ure of planting his hard right on Mr. Pyne's left optic after the game at San Jose, it is hardly to be wondered at that he should feel avenged, and at the same time contented, over the way things have terminated. The trouble, as I now under- stand it, after making a few “feints” and “side steps,” while perambulating in the “terrible’” Pyne's presence, came about as all such trouble does. Mr. Pyne, after signing with the San Franciscos, recelved a very flattering proposition from the San Jose ‘management. ‘““They offered me a position,” says Pyne, “‘at $60 per month, outside of my share coming from the ball games, and those ‘guineas,’ Coffroth and Bunker, would not ‘cut the wire' and leave me to myself. My persuasive powers being on the ‘dink’ ever since I made that home run at Central Park, led me to the conclusion that there was but one way of my sep- arating myself from that ‘sausage rower,” Bunker, and ‘Cigar Indfan’ Cof- roth—who, by the way, reminds me of 2 plece of ‘chilled ice’—and that way was by ceasing to interview the ball when it came Into my territory. The scheme worked like Murphy's throwing . arm-— sort of ‘icecreamedly’—but I neglected to use a little ‘discreth,’ and they rung the curtain down on me amid an avalanche of ‘noise, which sounded something like steam oozing out of an engine whose pipes were a trifle to the leeward. It's all right, though. I'll be in-the game again, and when I do steal in those ‘guys’ who have been awarded a ‘blue ribbon’ for develop- ing ‘knotty chests’ will sink into a state :ltntobllxfl';.lon (oblivion) when they get a ype of my expansion.” . “So_there's nothing I could do for you, Mr. Pyne, such as placing your case be- fore the strategy board?”’ I met my fforts of that e erpendicular’ board, ‘Dewey’ really gets another crack at on the the game. If they telegraph you for re- inforcements tellythem 'P forgive,’ but don’t mention it in the same sentence with the thirty days. It might resurrect old thoughts, and the ‘Old Ladies Home' is a 'trifie high-priced durln§ these dull times. Say! ?un a minute, voted for ‘%rosperlty and this is what I gets.

In doubles there are really but two first-class teams, the Whitneys and the Hardys. The Whitneys refuse to play under the banners of the California Ten- nis Club, and this practically leaves the Hardys the unchallenged masters of the situation. The Interclub schedule has not been half completed, owing to our rainy Sat- urdays. Two matches will be played to- day at .Oakland. The match originally scheduled for this afternoon will be be- tween Holmes and Bowen of Alameda and the Hardys of Oakland. The second match which should have been played a week ago will be between R. Nicholson and E. Stone and Weihe and Adams. This should be a close contest with the San Francisco team the favorites. A great deal of discussion is betng had by the tennis players in_regard to the new rule passed by the National Lawn Tennis Association in regard to foot faults. The old rule was supgosed to pre- vent all overstepping of the base line be- fore the ball was served, but owing to the ambiguity in which the rule was ex- pressed a player could on a flylng start still have one foot back of the base line and his moving body well on the way toward the net at the moment of serving. The new rule reads: *“The server shall stand with both feet behind, i. e., farther from the net than the base line.” This will cause a great deal of trouble to the umpires, and the players who will have to change their style of serving. It wil) especially affect the best players who have a perfected style of serving. Some very good matches were played during the week. For the first time sinca the last championship games at Sun Ra- fael, George Whitney played a set with Sumner Hardy. It was a very close match, and was élther man’s until the last, when Whitney won out. The score was 6—4. Sam Hardy beat Joe Dally, 8—8. Dally had five games to Hardy’s two and forty love, and the Oakland crack played ‘the ball of his life, sweeping everything before him. Sumner Hardy and Geor; Whitney beat Bradshaw and Robert .
