Providence. - v AN RAFAEL, Aug. 21.—A large crowd was on hand to-day at the courts of the Hotel Rafael to wi ness the second day’s play of the women’s tennis championship tournament. it was an jdeal day for ten- nis and the players were less distressed by the heat than on the opening day. The ‘preliminary rounds of the mixed doubles tournament were played down to | the semi-finals. As a result of the day’s play four of the ten teams entered are i left to struggle for the championship to- | morrow. In one half of the semi-finals Violet Sutton and Drummend in and Miss May Sutton and W . Collier, in the other half are Miss Miriam Hall and George Whitney and Migs Florence Sutton and Grant Smith, This is the first mixed doubles for the championship of the coast and is a suc- cess in every way. The ten teams entered are composed of the best players | State and consequently the matches were close and very high class. The Sutton sisters wer en purchased ast to win the big record of 2:06 flat hird was only the first heat Louise G, Gam again very tered are still in the fight, . Miss Violet Sutton was the star and figured in the closest and most exciting match of the day. Her work at the net was strong and accurate. In doubles Miss Violet is very little behind her sister May. The latter played but one match, but her play was even better than on the previous day. The first match of the preliminary round was between Mrs. Kincald and R. N. Whitney and Mrs. Seymour and Merle Johnson. The formér Wwere Strong fa- vorites, but their opponents surprised the on-lookers by winning the match in straight sets. The score in favor of Mrs. Seymour and Johnson was 8-6, 6-3. Whit. ney was slightly off in his game, whils Johnson and Mrs. Seymour were at their best. In the second match of this round Miss M. Seymour and J. Hoffman were opposed to Miss Ethel Sutton and O. Hoffman. The latter rather outclassed their op- ponents and took the match by the score of 6-3, 6-3. The first match of the firs round was by far the best of the Jay.

Some lively bouts were presented by the Hayes Valley Athletic Club at its month- ly boxing exhibition last night. There were many knockouts and sufficlent gore was spilled to satisfy even the blood- thirsty. Barney Driscoll was given a declsion over Dick Cullen after four rounds of heavy fighting. Driscoll was the stronger of the pair, but Cullen showed a willing- ness to mix jt. It was a hammer and tongs *'go” and the spectators enjoyed it immensely. Cullen will develop into a clever man. Frank George, a hasky lightweight, mauled Ed Devlin for four rounds and was given a just decision. George pu meled his man with a will. “Fuzzy” Lit- tle subdued Joe Pluto in less than two rounds. Pluto was willing and that is all that could be said of his fighting, Little landed as often as he pleased. ‘Cyclone” Kelly knocked out Tommy Reflly in less than two rounds. Reilly was fat and uu- trained. Kelly went at him in hot fashion. Joe Angelo and George Murphy fanned the aLmuEEhere for four rounds. As An- gelo did the most work he was given a decision. Murphy imitated “Kid”’ Mec- Joy’s style, but was not as effective as t famous fancy ringster. Spider” Welch had an easy time dis- posing of Willle Schoenbein.” It was a case of the spider and the fly. As soon as Welch had his weak opponent inside the roped arena he laid him low with a punch on the jaw. The bout was so uneven that the referee strylpped it early in the second. The event of the evening was between Teddy Wolff and Mike Curtin, They fought like tigers and disregarded the referee’s injunction to “‘break.” The bout went the limit and the judges declared it a draw. Curtin fought foully and was hooted. —————— Dies at the Age of 102 Years. Mrs. Mary Collins dled yesterday at her reridence, 2431 Larkin street, at the ad- vanced age of 102 years. Mrs. Collins was born in Ireland on May 2, 1799, and had lived in three centuries. She has resided in California for forty-six years and the lmfl??lmidc“% fl% her death is given as senility. Mrs. Collins was an e pervisor W, N. McCarthy. ooy — to play the full three sets be- Pecessha 'quistion of superiority was settled. The winners were Miss Sutton and McGavin, the score in thelr favor being 6-8, 6-1, 6-3. The first set was the best of the three and was productive of the most exciting tennis seen here for a long time. The net work of all four was superb_and called forth great applause from the spectators. In the last two sets Miss Sutton and McGavin ‘steadied down and won out rather handily. The features of the match were the brilliant smashing of McGavin and the steady and accurate volleying of Miss Sutton. Miss Hoffman played a better game than any one thought her Cfapabl‘il of, but Wiehe was ightly out of practice. % s‘fitsuyMay Sutton and W. B. Collier be Mrs. Seymour and Merle Johnson, 6-4, 6 The losers put up a game fight, but their opponents were a little too strong for them. In this match Miss Sutton’s fore- hand drives to the cormers of the court were truly wonderful. She rarely nets a drive and most of them gp within a foot of the base line and are very speedy. In the next match Miss Florence Sutton ahd Grant Smith defeated Miss Ethel Sut- ton and Ogden Hoffman, the score being 6-4, 6-1. In this match the features were the steady volleying of Miss Florence Sut- ton and the terrific serving of Smith. The last match of the day was between the two coast champions—Miss Mirlam Hall and George Whitney and Miss Ruby Garland of Ojal Valley and Fred Brown 7 of Oakland. The champions outclassed thelr opponents and won in straight sets, the score in their favor being . The losers played a fine up-hill game and made a very good showing against their more _skiliful opponents. - Miss Garland played a remarkably good game in this match and was fully as clever as Miss Hall. Whitney was _slightly off in his overhead - work, but his ground strokes were excellent. Four handsome silver prizes have becn offered by the hotel management and will go _to the winner and runner-up. The semi-final matches will be played in the morning and the finals at 2:30 p. m. in the former Miss May Sutton and W B. Collier will é)lay Miss Violet Sutt: and Drummon: McGayin and Miss Miriam_ Hall and George Whitney will be opposed to Miss Florence Sutton and Grant Smith. Both matches will be very close as the contestants are evenly matched, especlally the former teams.

George McHenry, an employe of Ring-|_ lings’ circus, was instantly killed at 6:15 | 520 Conn o'clock yesterday morning by being run over by the 6:10 train from San Jose. Mc- Henry slept in the circus cars side- switched on Harrison street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, and was crossing the track going to breakfast when the passenger train came along and struck him. Attaches of the circus who witnegsed the accident informed the Coroner's deputies that the locomotive whistle blew and the bell rang before reaching the spot where McHenry was struck. McHenry was 40 years old. No one of his companions seems to be able to ex- plain why he failed to hear and heed the warning signals. The body was removed to the Morgue and an inquest will be held. —_———— Customs Inspector Resigns. Customs Inspector C. A. Walker re- CORONER TO INVESTIGATE DEATH OF A PHYSICIAN Relatives of J. D.
