10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1901 . -— SPORTS¥ BASE BOXING CLUBS AND THEIR Fistic Programmes for the Next Few Tllonths| Are Arranged, but Not Yet Definitely Settled On next Wednesday evening before the Netional Athletic Club Terry ,McGovern Will make his second public rilg appear- ance in this city. This time he will meet Aurelia Herrera, the Bakersfield feather- weight, of whom so much has been writ- ten and said by the native enthusiasts of the San Joaquin oil city. In every fight that is a fight there are always two parties, and as Herrera is a strong, well muscied youth, a surprise of some sort may be in store for McGovern. Sam Harris, McGovern's astute man- r, thinks that the Bakersfleld terror 1 be easy game for the Brooklyn whirl- wind and blandly talks of the $5000-$3500 gide bet which will soon be annexed to the McGovern-Harris fund. Herrera has a manager in Carrilo who is playing the argel with a new set of wings, if ail that is said of him is true. Every day the word is passed that Carrilo has made another big bet on hxsmprolege at odds ranging irom 2 to 1 to 10 to 6.

The oarsmen were re ceived very well and the statement their case evoked a favorable expr: n of nion. The Merchants' Exchange a holding an aquatic carnival und ged to meet the oarsmen again lust One of the Oakland committee, a Yale graduate and oarsman, strongly in favor of the regatta and the Alameda and Oakland press has taken up ihe idea. -ast night the oarsmen stated more in detail the events they are preparecd to take part in and 1f the necessary funds can be obtained the aquatic carnival on Lake Merritt will certainly take place. The Ariel Rowing Club held a meeting on Tuesday night at which it was decid- ed to begin work on the foundation of the | new . boathouse to-morrow. Wooden czs five feet square at the bttom and ta ing toward the top will be built and filied with concrete. Twenty-one of these will be required. For will be done by the members, but men will be hired if it is found nec: to do so. It is hoped that the house be ready for occupation in about months. The Dolphins will probably be able to keep their junior barge crew together af- ter all. E.°A. Kragness will resume row- ing and the other thwarts will be filled by Lee Wienand, Lieutenant Captain T. R. Dixon and Fred Sherry, an Ol oarsman, who has joined the Boating Club. —————— Bay City Fishts. The Bay City Athletic Club will give a series of boxing contests on Monday, May 27, at the Mechanics’ Pavilion annex. The card is as follows: Dan_ Barry vs. Nobby Otts; Ed Tillson vs. “Jockey” Bennett: Pete Coleman vs Frank Merrett;: Frank Neal vs. Harry Baker; F. McLaughlin vs. J. McCormack: William Kellv vs. Frank Craig: Jock Murray vs. Dan Haley: Arthur Feno vs. Joe Angli. ———— Tuna Club Banquet. The Santa Catalina Island Tuna Club, famous all over the world, will hold its annual banquet at the Hotel Metropole, Avalon, Catalina Island, on Saturday evening, June 15. Judging from the re. sponses already received a large attend- ance will be on hand this year. These banquets draw the expert tuna fishermen from all parts of the country.

FOR RACKET WIELDERS. Dates for Championship Tournaments Changed and New State Event Is Added to the List At a meeting of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association held last Monday night the order of championship events was changed considerably. It was decided that | instead of the singles tournament for the | championship cf the coast being played it will be piaved the early part of Sap- tember, just previous to the doubles ~ | championship tournament. On the Fourth of July in placc of the coast champion- ship there will be a tournament for the championship of the State. In neariy all | the Eastern States there is a State cham- pionship tournament, and the action taken | the other evening establishing a like tournament in this State is considered a | very good move by all the cracks. All three tourraments will be played on the courts of the Hotel Rafael, and at present looks as if there would be nothing much the y of tennis at Del Monte this r. The latter place is hardiy suited for a hampionship event, as the light is very ard the overhanging foliage inter- ith the play to a great extent. By temb: fael = will the midsummer heat of San Ra- be avoided. This irntense heat made if difficult to play a s championship of the coast most important nt of the year, v consider it a bad move to put when the sum- mer season practic over. On the other hand, by doing this the best players from Southern California and the cracks | from the north will be on h: to compete in both singles and doubles. These men will not come for one event, hence both be played at the same time. s Goward, Foulkes and Free- | man of Oregon and Washington, and Bell, | Sinsabaugh and Hendricks of Southern | California will probably be on hand when | play is called. | . This morning on the courts of the Cali- fornija Tennis Club the finals of the academic singles tournament will be (‘play(«d, In this match Norman Hodgkin- son of Lowell High School will be pitted gainst Roy Taylor of Oakland High School. Hodgkinson is by long odds the | better player of the two, but Taylor has been doing corsiderable practicing of late and followers of the game expect he will | glve his clever opponent quite an argu- ment. The California Tennis Club will hold a cl singles tournament on Decoration day. This tournament is one of the most important ones given by the local club each year. Those who surely will take part are Robert and George Whitney, Sumner Hardy, W. B. Collier, Haroid Crowell, Merle Johnson, N. Hodgkinson, Grant Smith, Dr. Lane, Ray Cornell, Chet Smith, Sidney Salisbury, Du Val Moore, Drummond McGavin and many of the lower class men, who will probably enter at the last moment. The tennis courts built in the park for the use of thc general public are fast nearing completion, and in a few months | there will be enough courts to accommo- date all. The courts are macadam and are already down and well packed, making it necessary only to mark off the lines and build backstops. ————————— Swimming at Sutro’s.

In size he is a midget, even smaller than Mangerina, who caught for Oakland last season. He is only 19 years of age, but plays like a veteran. Brigeno weighs- 115 pounds, which places him in the bantam class. At present he plays second base for the Angels, and plays it in s'n('h a way as to c'flll for the | praise and commendation of all his admfirers. Although young and inexperienced in big games he displays the best of judgment and coolness on the field. His natural position is at short, where he eovers ground enogzgh on which to i build a railroad-depot. In Los Angeles'he is the hero of the day since baseball took firm hold there. Briseno is a native £ les product. wlien the old Los Angeles league team played in that city, Briseno was a boy to whom the batsmen of the team would knock out flies for practice. He thén displayed a baseball precocity that made him the wonder of the profes- | sional players. Ever since that time he has played the zame with the sandlot boys of the town. Manager Morley signed Briseno to use him as a change shortstop, as the lack of weight is a handicap at second, but so well has he acquitted him- self at ‘the middle station that unless an extraordinarily good man can be secured Briseno will not be moved, & 2 g DOUGLAS WILL MEET TRAVIS RYE, N. Y., May 24.—The third and semi-final rounds of match play finished the programme of the Metropolitan sclt‘ championship at the Apawamis Club to- | day. The weather was delightfully fine. The general opinionn among the golfers here is that the final to-morrow will ‘be another duel between Findlay S. Douglas of the Nassau Country Club and Walter J. Travis of the Garden City Golf Club, the amateur champion of America. Each of these players has four wins to his credit out of the eight times they have met -and if they should meet again to- morrow there will be an exciting game. A few weeks ago these two met in the GOLFERS TURN TO SAN RAFAEL ROAD RACE FOR THE CYCLISTS The annual 25-mile handicap of the Cali- fornia Associated Cyclists, run over I?y' order of the Racing Board, will be heid to-morrow on the San Leandro trianguiar course, starting at 10 a. m.

FOR FREEDOM IS BILLED TO RUN. The Unbeaten Greyhound Will Compete in the California Coursing Committee Stake Event The California Coursing Committee has completed arrangements for its inaugiral stake, which will be runein its entirety to- morrow at Union Park. The committee will meet this evening at Delmonico’s, where a banquet to the members will tend to make the annual gathering a memor- atle one. Besides other business, the committee will elect officers for the ensu- ing term. The twenty-dog stake, in which the members alone have the naming of a con- testant, is made up of the best coursing material in the country and should prove a great attraction. Seven hundred and fifty dollars in prizes will be distributed in the champion event, of which $250 goes to the winner, 3150 to the runner-up, $100 to third dog, $40 each to the next two and $20 each to the next five. Special prizes will be distributed as follows: $20 to the dog beaten by the win- ver, $15 to the dog beaten by the runner- up, $15 to the dog heaten by third dog and $10 each to the dogs beaten by win- ners of fourth and fifth prizes. The feature of the event is the naming of For Freedom by J. H. Rosseter. Noth- ing in the doings of the sport of the leash for many montns nhas given such satistac- tion ana pieasure to tne foliowers of the game as the announcemeént of Kor Free- dom’s re-entry on the field. It is two and a half years since this greatest of all coursers has had a public trial. During that time some good ones have developed, and notably among them is Bugene Geary’s crack sprinter, Palo Alto. For Freedem's record in this country was made before the black and white stake- winner was a factor in coursing, and upon his retirement to the stud there was no hound on our shores that could furnish exercise for him, he being absolutely and beyond question in a far away class of his own. His wonderful performance of gak- ing the final flag in the eight stakes in which he competed with other champions is one that will probably never be ap- proached. Palo Alto in form goes to th= slips in any event a favorite over the best on the card, and his reputation has been earned by hard tests with the Plck of the local kennels. If these two able representatives meet for final honors in ‘the stake—and every one is hoping that they will—pa- trons can satisfy themselves in saying that they have seen America’s two grand- est greyhounds slipped to a hare. While For Freedom has been out of the game for a long time, the hound has been brought to as fine condition as the limited time given would allow. H. H. Lyons and Charles Gassagne, meinters of the California Coursing Com- mittee, came up from Los Angeles yester- dag to be on hand for the big event. eorge Sharman will start a Pretender- Miss Skyrocket puppy in next month’s puppy stake. O. Sterl, member of the local coursing firm of Sterl & Knowles, has left for Aus- tralia for a short trip. The, ‘p-countr)’ doings for last week r sulted In Rona winning the stake at Val- lejo, with Aeneas as runner-up. At Los Angeles Master Clair won first money, Mollie Haskins second. There will be no coursing outside of San Francisco this week, the country mem- bers desiring to witness.the big event at Union Park. Winners in the California Coursing Committee stake look to be King Cotton, Litte Sister, Flying Fox, Homer Boy, Vandal, Wedgewood, Santonin, Sir Pasha, Rector and Palo Alto. In the reserve stake the courses gen- erally have an even look.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 24—Marvin Hart of Louisville to-night knocked out Dan Creedon of Austrahia in th. st Tound before the Southern Athicic Cluh BOXING, BIG REGATTAS ARE ON THE SCHEDULE. Decoration Day Events for the Corinthians and Californians on ‘San Francisco - Bay This evening the San Francisco Yacht Club will give a dance in its clubhouse at Sausalito, beginning at 8 o’clock. Ferry boats for Sausalito leave the city at § ! 6:15 and 6: 5 p. m., returning from Sausa- lto at 10:5% p. m. To-morrow is an open day on the schedule, and, as the tide serves well, running out till a little after 12 noon at Fort Point, and flooding all the “afternoon, most of the yachtsmen will cruise out toward the heads. H. R. Siropkins’ yawl Tramontana sailed down to the Union Iron Works last Satur- day to witness the launching of the battle- ship Ohio, and afterward cruised up to ValleJo, where she anchored for the night, returning next day with light breezes to her moorings at Sausalito, which she made about 5:30 p. m. She was to have started on a trip to southern waters this week, but is not yet ready for an ocean crulse. To-morrow members of the club who do not own yachts will be taken out for a cruise in the channel The directors of the San Francisco Yacht Club held a meeting on Wednesday night, at which nine new members wera elected. The time within which to put in bids for building the challenger for the Perpetual Cup irom Crowninshield’s de- signs Is not yet up, and the bids are still unopened. The sails will be made in th East, and it is sald that the craft will be ready to receive them in sixty days from the date of the order being given to build her. The plans furnished by the Boston designer are very detalled, %nnwm where every belt and na. to be placed. It is thought that it may be better to employ a small-boat builder than a shipbuflder, as the workmen of the latter are not ac- customed to the fine, light work and ma- terfal necessary on a racing yacht. ‘The San Francisco Yacht Club fleet will be increased by the addition of a big sloop, the largest on the bay, having a length over all of sixty-seven feet, a beam of twenty-two feet and a draft of six feet six inches. She is built for outside sailing, having a flush deck, with sunken sky- lights and a fifteen-inch rail. She carries eleven tons of lead on her keel and more will probably be adde Her name is Jilt. She was built at Benicit. and is owned by F. J. Croall. She has a fine cabin, state- rooms, lavatories, a bathroom, a sail-room and quarters for the crew. The owner proposes to have a crew of a dozen mem- bers of the San Francisco Yacht Club for cruising and a crew of twenty for racing. The regatta committee of the Corinthian Yacht Club, P. J. Martenstein, E. Leaming and W. P. Harrold, have issued the circular with regard to the sixteenth annual regatta to be held on Decoration day. There will be theee courses, a short one for the twenty-footers, one of medium length for the twenty-five-footers and yawls, and a longer one for the thirty- footers, thirty-six-footers and yachts in Class 1. The twenty-foot class includes the sloops Venture, Dart, Witch, Spider and Dorls, and the yawl Kittiwake. The special class includes the yawls Arcturus, Naiad, Spray, Ner apd Wave. -Arctu- rus is not in commission this season. In the twenty-five-foot class are the sloops Phoenicia, Cupid, May, Belle, Ceres, Me- rope, Mist, Josie and Discovery. The thirty-foot class comprises the sloops Aeolus, Presto, Truant, Amigo, Halcyon, Mignon, Emille and Sans Souci. The thirty-six-footers are the sloops Edna, ma, Queen, Freda, Neptune and Ge- nesta (formerly Embla). In Class I are included the sloops Ariel (formerly Ethel 8), Harpoon, Speedwell, Rover, Clara, Mixie and Mischief. The start will be at 11:45 a. m., yachts being allowed five min- utes to cross the line. Intervals of ten minutes will separate the classes. The California Yacht Club will hold its eighth annual class flag regatta on Deco- ration day over the regular course from the ‘narrow gauge mole to and around Blossom Rock buoy, thence to and around Mission Rock, thence to ihe starting point. The course is officially reckoned at ten nautical miles. The yachts will be divided into the following classes: Twenty-footer: twenty-five-footers, thirty-footers, thirt; six-footers, forty-four-footers and ffs five-footers. Entries must be made in writ- ing by the owner or his representative at least three days before the day of the race and must be countersigned by Treas- urer John T. Carrier. The sloop Pactolus, with Port Captain Allen M. Clay and Secretary George L. Wakeman of the California” Yacht Club starts to-day for a week's cruise up the Sacramento River. J. M. Macdonough, donor of the fund for providing trophies for yacht races in San Franecisco Bay, h: country from Europe, to the trustee of the funi cepts the suggest Inter-Club Ya Association and will write more fully. The directors of the California Yacht Club will hold a meeting next week, at which several new members will be elected and the provosed plan for keeping the association alive by a paymer from each club proportioned to the num- ber of yachts entered in the annual re- gatta will be discussed. The plan seems an absolutely fair one and free from all objection. yet it is meeting with serious opposition from some quarters. —_——— Cricket Match at Alameda. To-morrow on the Webster-street ground at Alameda the second match of this season between the Alameda and Pa- cific Cricket clubs will take place, begin- ning at 11:30 a&. m. The first match be- tween these two clubs, played on April 21, was won easily by the Alameda eleven, but| the Pacific men hope to turn the tabl®s on this occasion. The following will wear the red and black of the Pacifie Cricket Club: H. C. Casidy, captain; Juhn Myers, C. P. Coles, J. J. Theobold, A. W, Wilding, F. Bennfon, D. Jamfeson, W. Petherick, W, C. Comyns, V. Sollom and T, J. A. Tledeman. The blue and white of the Alameda Cricket Club will be wern by J. J. Morlarty, J. H. Saunders. B J Croll, A. F. Stahl, H- Ward Jr., W. G. Fortman, A. E. Chivers, W. Richter, A. 8. Willls, E. H. Ward and B. Bird. R. B. Hogue, captain of the Alameda Cricket Club, is now in Honolulu oh a trip of business and recreation combined, and will return to this city next week.
