For several weeks the rupture was im- minent, all those who were on the inside expecting it to happen at any moment. The result of it all will be mora cours- ing. The Ingleside association will surely operate the San Mateo park. t the What opening date will be has not yet been de- cided upon, but it will certainly be not far off. As the Union Park people now op- erate on Wednesday in a midweek reserve stake they will continue that plan. The Ingleside as: establish a midweek event, to be run on Thursdays. This places the game back on its old basis—two midweek stakes, one at each parl, and Saturday and Sunday parks. The Union Park association declares that it has adopted the recently deter- mined line of action on the behests of the dog owners. They claim that the expense of training. keeping and all the other out- nels are so great that continuous coursing is necessary. That the sport has devel- oped here in a remarkable manner there can be no doubt. On the score of the sup- ply of dogs there will be no difficulty ex- perienced by either park, for there is a greater number than is needed to go round. i The agreement which resulted in an al- ternate operation by the two associations was_voluntarily and deliberately broken by Union Park. It was not a contract agreement, so the moving factor in the rupture acted without consulting or in- forming the other party. The Futurity stake, which will be run during the Admission day celebration, promises to be the largest and most in- teresting stake of its Kind ever held in America. This will be the next big cours- all dlrectgl toward it. This week's stake at Union Park is ex- ceptional from the point of quality.

He swung his left at his opponent very much as if his first duty were to send telegraphic messages of his intent. His style was reflexive of his physique—heavy, lumbering and massive. ‘When the ‘““champ of all the champs” met the ‘“‘champ” that was he acted like a dif- ferent man. His ring attitude was changed. He was shiftier and cleverer, knowing something about boxing and sidestepping. This/is what he learned from Ryan, who took him in hand, teach- ing rudimentary and advanced lessons in the manly art. That is why Tommy Ryan is called the molder of champions. Ryan at present is in fine physical con- dition. He is lighter than he has been for several years, weighing 146 pounds, which, e S SR S S o S S o g i S R e i o o o entered, The same performance will prob- ably be duplicated.

Kemp's Remember Me to Hotstuff, July Bartels On the Cricket Field. Four of the six series of matches be- tween the Alameda, Pacific and Califor- nia cricket clubs have now been played and the Alamedas have obtained a sub- stantial lead, the Paclfics second and last year's pennant winners last. All through the season the Californias have depended almost entirely on the ef- forts of Arthur Dickenson, W. H. Howard and W. Reynolds, but chiefly on the first two. When these for any reason failed to “come off” the whole side has collapsed and fallen an easy v tim to its opponents. Two more series’of matches—one in September and the other in October—remain to be played; but it is hardly likelye that the relative positions of the clubs will be changed. To-morrow being an open date on the schedule of the California Cricket Asso- clation, efforts were made to get up a match between Young America and Great Britain_and_her colonies, but were not successful. The older players, after tak- ing part in three matches during the month, are not sorry to have a respite on the fourth Sunday. Preparations for t ty are going on apace, and there is every likelihood gxaz the three local clubs wiil send a strong team_to play against the cricketers of Burns Valley and Lakeport John Myers of the Pacifics will take his vacation in Lake County and will join the team there. As it is the policy of the Commissioner: of Golden Gate Park to render the park as attractive as possible to the people and to offer facilities for sports of all kinds, it is not unlikely that arrangements may be made to play the matches against the Santa Cruz Country Club there. Many hundreds of San Francisco residents had he visit to Lake Coun- never seen a game of polo until the Bur- | lingame men plnxed in the park, and the In the park | same may be said of cricket. cricket can be plaved on real green turf, as it should be played, and not on con- crete and mamnf‘ as it is gecessary to do at Alameda.

He is as fast as ever he was, showing that remarkable footwork in side- stepping, advancing to or retreating from his opponent. With his arms he is like lightning streaks. His best work is with the bag, which when he punches it beats a tattoo like the roll of a drum. Training with Ryan is Jack Jeffries, brother of the famous champion. He is also a heavy-weight, but several sizes smaller than Jim. He is heavily muscled, strong and powerfully framed. His ca- reer In the ring has just begun.

The impression made upon the spectators was that Iburg was slugged unmercifully and that the Friscos went to pleces. The tabulated score also indicates that such was the case, but the fact is that Hank's | men also encountered®” a bunch of hard | luck erowded into_the single inning.. This week the Friscos begin a new serfes with Sacramento on the home grounds of the champions, and the fans will no doubt see some very good ball. It is a feature of this season’s games, the mix-up between San Francisco and Sac- ramento. Whenever the champions and the local contingent clash the crowd is out, hooting and cheering. Although San Francisco jumped from the tail end posi- tion to second place, it seems that a set- back is always thrust at them when least Sapected.
