To-day the annual contest will be held | for the Wallace Trophy of the California Yacht Club over the usual course from the southerly plerhead of the narrow- gauge mole to and around Presidio Shoal buoy, leaving the same on the port hand; then to the finish across the startling line. The trophy is at present held by Vice Commgodore_Sagar’s sloop Edna of the Corinthian Yacht Club. The contestants will be Commodore 8. S. Marshall's sloop Thelma, the sloop Jessie E. and probably also the sloop Pactolus. These dropped down the creek and anchored off the mole yesterday. The Corinthian Yacht Club received an invitation to Napa City for to-day and THURSDAY. JULY 4, 1901 o WHITNEYS ARE LEFT FOR THE FIRST HONORS | As was expected the second day of the champlonship tennis tournament was pro- ductive of much better tennis than the first day. The first match yesterday was between Merle Johnson and John Hoffmann. The latter got away well, but when Johnson got fairly started he proved much too strong for his left-handed ppponent. Hoff- man made a good stand in the last set, when the score was 5—1 against him, pull- ing it up to 4—5. The complete score in favor of Johnson was 7—5, 6—1, 6—4. The next match was between Grant Smith and Alex Stuart of Oakland, and proved to be very one-sided. The score in Smith’'s favor was'6—0, 6—0, 6—1. One of the best matches of the tourna- ment was between R. N. Whitney and Fred Brown. Both players ran in on their service and were continually fighting for the net. Brown played a very good net game, while Whitney shone in the back court. The latter's drives, both fore and back hand, were exceedingly swift and ac- curate and won the day for him. The first two sets fell to Whitney, 6—4, 6—4. In the third and final set Brown ran the score u| to 5—2 in his. favor and.it began to loo! as if he would win the set easily, but Whitney took a brace and pulled it up to 5—5. At this point the real struggle com- menced, and after some long and fierce rallies Whitney finally came out a win- ner. The score in his favor was 6—4, 6—4, Bk This brought play to the semi-finals, in which George Whitney was pitted against Merle Johnson and R. N. Whitney against Grant Smith. Champion Whitney was in better form yesterday than on the pre- vious day and had little trouble in dis- posing of Johnson, whom he defeated in three straight sets. The score in Whit- ney’'s favor was 6—1, 3 . By win- ning this match Whitney is entitled to plaf in the finals to-day. The last match of the day was between R. N. Whitney and Grant Smith and, al- though the former won in straight sets, the contestants were evenly matched and the play was very close. In the first set every game was deuce and vantage, but most of them went to Whitney. With the score 3—0 against him Smith pulled up to 3-3 and 30 love, but lost the next three games. In the second set Smith seemed discouraged and Whitney won easily. In the last set Whitney won the first two games, but the next four went to Smith. The latter made a fine stand in this set, but Whitney was right on edge and won out, 7—5. Smith was in poor condition and seemed somewhat off in his game. The two third prizes will go to Merle Johnson and Grant Smith. At 2:30 to-day the Whitney brothers will settle the ques- tion of supremacy. Bob Whitney has been putting up a great game of late, while his %rolher George seems to have lost some of his former skill. The former is picked by most people to win the match to-day and there- by become the champion of California. ‘The drawing for the consolation tourna- ment was held yesterday afternoon and resulted as follows: J. Craig vs. R. Ers- kine; C. Elston a bye; J. Hoffmann vs. Carl Gardner; C. Kuehn vs. C. Smith; O. Hoffmann a bye; W. B. Collfer vs. J. D. MacGavin. One match was played in the consolation tournament and resulted in a victory for MacGavin over Collier, the score being 8—6, 1—6, 7—5. Both men played good ten- nis and the exhibition was a clever one from start to finish. - [ e e e e B T ) found impossible to make up a fleet of OF SPORT PUGILISTS WILL CELEBRATE FOURTH OF JULY BY FIGHTING IN OPEN AIR FOR A BRACE OF CHAMPIONSHIPS HE arena at Sixteenth and Folsom streets, which will be used this aft- ernoon by the San Francisco Ath- letic Club to bring off the first open-air boxing exhibition held in this city, is ready for the vast crowd that is expected.

San Francisco 35 2% 588 Los Angeles 29 2% .58 Sacramento % 31 & Oakland .. %5 34 .48 After an absence of four weeks the Los Angeles team returns to-day to play a se- ries of six games with San Francisco. The two teams are billed for a double at- traction at the ball grounds to-day. A postponed gamre will be played off in the forenoon, starting at 10:30, and play will be resumed, with a change of pitchers, at 2:30 in the afternoon. The Los Angeles players have been pre- senting a fine quality of ball since their last appearance in this city. They have won nine out of twelve games and are now in a position to dispute with the Germans over first place. They have been strengthened somewhat by the acquisi- tion of Henry Reitz, who was formerly with the famous Baltimore team in the days when it was invincible. Through failure to keep in condition he was unable to stay with fast company, but he lately rounded into form and is now playing with his old-time dash. The Orange Growers have also signed a new pitcher named Wittredge, who was lured from an East- ern minor league. Following is the line-up for the morn- ing game: San Francisco. Positions. . Hale or Hartwell Hutchinson Los Angeles. Spies .Third base. .Shortstop . Golf Contests on Local Links. There will be golf all day on the links of the Oakland, San Rafael, San Francisco and Sausalito Golf Clubs. At Point Adams, Captain Orestes Plerce and Vice Captain’ P. E. Bowles will choose teams which will play an eighteen-hole match, the losers to pay for luncheon. P. E. Bowles won the toss for first choice and selected E. R. Folger, while Orestes Pierce selected R. M. Fitzgerald as the first men of the teams. All players pre- senting themselves before 11 o'clock are eligible. The ladies of the San Rafael Golf Club will take part in a putting contest, and the men in driving and approaching com- petitions this morning.

BAKERSFIELD, July 3.—At the Serib- ner Opera-house to-night “Kid” McFad- den and Tommy Gilfeather met for what “ was to have been a twenty-round go. Gil- feather, who showed up well as a boxer, could not stand the Kid's punches and threw up the sponge in the seventh round. In the first round the men fought clev- erly, Gilfeather plainly having the better of it on points. In the second he landed gt will on the Kid, but the blows did not " haye much effect. McFadden forced the in the third, as he did in the 'ourth. In the fifth and sixth the fight- ing was fast, Gilfeather going down from a t swing in the latter round and ng the limit.

Therc was no sign. of exhaustion on the part of any member of the crew. The stroke, Gardiner, said: “We pulled pretty lively at the finish, but there was no time in the race whea we had any doubt about the resuit.” Ellis Ward, the coach, said: “The crew_did the work to-day which I expected. Their performance, I believe, was most creditable. But, to me, it was in no wise a surprise. There was no ad- vantage whatever in the stations to-day, and all the conditions of the race and the management were as perfect as any one could desire.

Constitution has not proved definite- 1y her superiority to the 1899 champion, the Columbia, for the second contest to-day béetween the two big racers was nipped in the bud through the unfortunate buckling of the Columbia’s martingale, when the yachts had sailed nearly three miles of the race. The accident took place when the boats were sailing very fast on the wind and so close were they that there is considerable difference of opinion as to Wwhat the outcome would have been had they continued on their ten-mile beat to the first mark, the race being a triangular one of thirty miles. Columbia again crossed the starting line ahead of her rival, just eighteen seconds in the lead, and had established herself in a g0od berth to the weather of the Con- stitution. Many of the yachts which fol- lowed the boats believe that in three short miles the old boat pointed higher and footed as fast as the Constitution, while there are others who are equally certaln that the Constitution, while admittedly behind, was nevertheless forereaching the Columbia and would have eventually beaten her to the first mark. The Columbia had the advantage of the use of her baby jib topsail at the start, | while the Constitution did not set he for some time after. When this sail w in shape the Constitution seemed to gain. But the accident stopped all racing for the day after the yachts had been sailing just “seventeen minutes, and again the Columbia was towed back into port. The race, which was the second under the auspices of the New York Yacht Club, will not be resailed, so that the next time the two vachts try conclusions they will have the Independence as a com- petitor in the first race held by the New- port Yacht Racing Association, off this port, on Saturday. e SHAMROCK I THE WINNER. Sir Thomas Lipton’s Old Boat Leads the New Racer. ROTHESAY, Firth of Clyde, July 3.— The two Shamrocks started on a thorough racing trial to-day over a forty-three mile course. In order to give the yachts a fair trial in the open sea, a triangular course was laid out for to-day’s race, starting at Garrock Head, thence to Holy Island, around the Erin, thence ten or twelve miles to the southeastward, around the Erin again, with a reach back to the starting point. oft Ascog. three miles out, the chal- lenger led by about half a minute. Find- ing the wind paltry, the original race plans were abandoned in favor of a trial inside the Firth, and the two yachts started on a reach across. Off Cumbrae the challenger was leading by fifty-three seconds. Soon after they came into & calm, and the Shamrock I the Shamrock II wide to the windward. Fetching up the Firth the wind headed the boats and their jib topsails were taken in. The breeze freshened, but the challen- ger gained very little. Later she bore away and passed wide to leeward of the Shamrock I. This left the older boat in a still better position, and she was soon able to pass ahead of the Shamrock Il and slightly to windward. The windward work continued for two or three miles in a gradually softening wind. The softer the wind became the better suited the Shamrock I seemed to be. The two were still in close company when they wore around and started on a long run down the wind, with spinnakers set to port, and the Shamrock 1 n that in going to leeward in a light wind she is faster than the new challenger. When off Knoch Cast'e the Shamrock 1 led by a minute and forty seconds. The timing two miles further showed that the former challenger had continued to gain seventeen seconds on each mile of the run. The cup challenger then set a club topsail in place of her jib header and the former challenger did the same. The Shamrock II then held the leader better, but for a time she was_unable to lessen the gap. The Erin sailed ahead and made a mark. As the yachts passed the Sham- rock 1 was about two minutes ahead. Beating up the channel toward Rothesay the gap was practically unalterad until the Shamrock I threw away part of her advantage and finished a minute ahead.
