The winter season of tennis began last Saturday at the Californfa Tennis Club courts, Bush and Steiner streets, and judging from the interest displayed by the participants there should be. a series of successful tournaments played weekly by the club’s racket-wielders, The Whitney brothers again asserted their superiority and will no doubt win the tournament when the finals are played off, The rain has somewhat interfered with this week, but if the weather there will be a singles tournament on the courts this afternoon.

S COME FROM ARCTIC REGION TO GLADDEN GUNMEN Big Returns for Sportsmen Who Shot Over the Preserves of the Gun Cluds Last Week. son reached all the gun club pre nd from the localities where unattached sportsmen are accustomed to gather come reports of an abundance of ducks. Heavy storms from the north, for which the sportsmen have been anxiously watching, have at last driven the birds from their summer baunts in the Arctic and have spread them along the California coast. The bay is full of splendid canvasbacks and biue- bills, and the smm: condition prevalls in San Pablo and Richardson ; On the marshes the birds swarm about the newly formed ponds, finding in them some feed which the old ponds do not afford. With the northern birds here ine gunmen look for good sport from thils time forward whenever shooting condi- tions are favorable. The rain of the past week may have scattered the birds over a large territory, but they are at least within the district over which the city sportsmen shoot. Nine members of the Oyimpic Gun Club had fine sport on their Cordelia preserves last Sunday. The combined bag was 166 Sunday. From ducks. Of these H. L. Miller secured 31, H. B. Hosmer 27, W. F. Fo r 2, M. E. Unger 21, L. W. Harpham 16, W. D. Me- Arthur and J. C. Jenson 15 each, L. Titus 10 and Dr. G. W. Kleiser 9. Mr. Hosmer ceased shooting at 1 o'clock, at which time he was “high gun." He could have increased his bag indefinitely, as birds were plentiful. The members of the Black Jack Club enjoyed their share of the good shooting. Billy Swain, Newton Hickman, Fred John- son and Bert Patrick shot over the Siier- man Island ponds, with Edward Murra as their gu The total bag was sixty- elght birds. made up chiefly of ‘“cans and mallard. The sport was not even, the birds favoring some ponds more than oth- ers. President John Lemmer, with John Butler as guest, went to the preserve on Wednesday to remain until to-day. It Is possible the rain of Thursday and yester- day spoiled their sport somewhat. ‘The members of the club are all sport- | ing duck straps of the finest quality. The leather was presented by Bert Patrick, while they were made and stamped, each with its owner’s name, by Fred Johnson. L. R. Larzale and J. H. Burfeind were the only representatives of the Spooney Gun' Club on their Alvarado pre- serve last Sunday. They enjoyed |£wlr first good shoot of the season and secured fair bags. Larzalere, Burfeind, Phil He- keart and Harvey McMurchy will be on the ground to-morrow, Joe McCrea, Joe Brickerstaff and Dick Itchen secured a joint bag of fifty ducks near Mount Eden. Price brothers secured thirty ducks at the bridges near Alvarado, while Plum- mer and McPhillips killed the same num- ber on their favorite ground near Newark. Sadler and Henrioulle shot on the bay shore between Mount Eden and Alvarado and made a joint bag of eighty. Achille Roos and another member of the San Pablo fihnnlln!r Club enjoyed great sport on Monday. The flight was heavy and afforded the first high class shooting of the season. Up to this time it has peen a comparative blank, the birds preferring the overflowed land rather than the arti- ficlal ponds. Members of the Alameda County Sports- men's Association who shot over their Sonoma preserves last Sunday secured 120 ducks, chiefly canvasback. Jesse F. Ives, an all-around sportsman of Alameda, has removed to Los Angeles. He is an enthusiast on yachting and shooting and will soon be identified with gport In the south. The directors of the Olympic Gun Club have outdined a plan by which all the trap shooting in this vicinity may be concen- trated on the club’s grounds at Ingleside next season. At the last meeting of the directors the trap shooting committee was instructed to open negotiations with all shooting clubs In and around this city. The object Is to make the club grounds the Mecca of the gunmen. Should this arrangement be effected it is believed the result would be the most prosperous year at trap shooting the gunmen have ever experienced. At the present time there are @ numbér of grounds fof the men who fancy trap shooting. With several events held on_the same day,the shooters have been divided. If all aré held at the Ingle- side grounds tirere will be shooting there every holiday, and the enthusiasts will know where they can find sport at any time. The grounds are pronounced the finest in the country outside those in New Jersey where the American handicap is held.

It is the recog- nized governing body of the sport on this coast and will pass upon all matters of registration and disputes as to ownership of dogs subject to review by the American Coursing Beard. As the major part of the sport In America is conducted on this coast and the majority of the dogs are owned here, it seems an unnecessary con- cession to. allow Eastern men with few dogs and small opportunities to them to direct, in even a minor degr the sport iu this State, where it has at- tained its highest development. The California Coursing Committee is a representative body. It is made up of del- egates of the Interstate Coursing Clu Ingleside Ccursing Club and THE California coursing committee course club. The Stockton club is expected to Jjoin shortlv. The Interstate club acle- gates are: Frank Moran, 1. F. Halton. R. K. Malcom, J. R. Dickson and John Kiein; Ingleside ciub: H. A. Deckelman, David Dillon, Captain Clarkson and W. Thompson. The country clubs are al- lowed representation in proportion to .heir membership. The coursing at Union Park to-day and to-morrow will be of the highest class. Among the entries are: Emin Pasha, Rock Island King, Sweet Emma, Corne- mara, Gladiator, Dalsy Clalr, Lady Em- ma, Royal Flish, aller, Moruing Glory, Wild Tralee, R Clair, Lexing- ton, "L Clare, O K Capitol, Golden Gate, ThornEfll, Young America and Firm Friend. ‘These are not all the sensa performers entered, which m timate winner must run “‘a gr. the language of the coursing men, to carry offt nrst prize and {ts attenaant honors. The feature of the card at Ingleside to- morrow will be the match between E D. Fallon’s Lily of the West and Murphy & Toland’'s Pieasant Girl. In a period of seven waeks at Ingleside Lily won five open stakes and wuas runner-up in the sixth. She met Pleasant Girl in the third round of ihe stake on November 26 and was defeated. Out of this deteat devel- 4 oped the match set for decision to-mor- row. There is 50 wide a difference of op fon over their respective running qualities that heavy wagering is expected over He match.

The stake is for beaten dogs and many £00d ones are Included in the list. The management of Unfon Park is pre- paring to open the coming year with an ambitious meeting. It is purposed to have three days' coursing with possibly four stakes. As at present outlined these ould be a puppy stake, open stake, champion stake and beaten dog stake. If these are finally decided upon the pre- liminary rcunds of all except the cha- jon stake would be run off on Satur Fhe remaining rounds of the opan staxe and all the champlon stake would be dis- posed of on Sunday. This would leav several rounds of the puppy and the beaten-dog stakes for Monday. This pro- gramme would provide for all ages and all classes of GOgS. The card at Ingleside on Christmas day v Master Glenkirk-Twilight, and | will be a champlon stake, limited to thir ty-two dogs. For the Saturday and Sun- day before the various rounds of an open stake will be run off. For New Year's day a veteran stake, and possibly one for puppies. will be the attraction. Pat Horgan, who served with ecredit among the volunteers at Manila, has set- tled down in his old home at Coneord. Coursing men expect to see r presenta- tives of his kennels again in competition shortly, as he is known to have some good performers among his dogs. He still has some of the Sir Hugo-Just Eclpsed ltter, of which the dog Pat Horgan was the star.
