6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY,.DECEMBER 23, 1901. TENNIS. PLAYERS MEET WASPS SHUT OUT BY NATIONALS Home Men Mix Clever Fielding With Bad Errors. “Jake” Beckley in Eclipse as Assistant to the Umpire. The Nationals defeated the San Fran- ciscos yesterday at baseball at Recreation Park by a score of 2 to 0. The home play- divided their time between playing iant ball at critical points of the game and then aiding the Eastern men score by making costly errors. Three times in the first five innings the Na- als had a man on third, but were un- m home owing to clever e to send ielding. Beckley proved so successful on Satur- day iIn assisting McDonald umpire the game that he tried the same tactics in the first inning. Hildebrand bit to taird and Wilson out at second. The ball was sent to first to head off “‘Hilde,” but arrived too late. Beckley said “three out” and left the tield. McDonald called Hilde- toree brand “safe” and Beckley was in eclipse | or the time being as an assistant to the umpire. He (ried the trick again in the sixth and it did not work. Beckley had a heated argument with McDonald over the decision, ana for a time a fight seemed imminent. McDonald was severe on Iburg in the matter of balls and strikes, the spectators differing with him repeatedly in this par- ticular. The first run was made in the sixth inn- n After two men were out Beckley sin- cled Fhe ball out to deep right field for & two- bagger. Beckley just beat it home by a shade. Steinfeldt was caught stealing third. The second and last run was scored in eighth. Mertes was safe on Josh 5 fumble. Chance was hit by r. Lee singled, filling the bases. idey hit to pitcher, forcing Mertes out at the plate. Steinfeldt hit to Reilly, who again fumbled the ball and Chance scored. dcHale flew, retiring the side with the bases full. The score: NATIONALS AB. R. BH. §B. PO. A.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22—For six inn- ings McPartiiln held the All-Americas’ beavy hitters down fairly well, but in the seventh a base on balls, a batter hit, a home run and two singles netted seven runs for the visitors and gave them_the game. Los Angeles touched up Rube Waddell for nine hits and made a rally in the ninth that looked as if the score would be tied, but the big pitcher settled down to business and struck out two men.

Frank Jones' fast courser Wedgewood won first honors in the special stake yes- terday at Union Coursing Park, beating a tield. of good performers. Wedgewood showed a return of his old-time stake winning form, and in' every course ran with a snap and vim that won him his trials in short order. In reaching the final Wedgewood had been forced to but | seconds’ running. Roman Athlete, his op- ponent in tne deciding course, was in fine | tettle, and his clever work throughout the | stake gained him many admirers. | When the vair went to the slips the | Athlete was a strong second choice. He had more than twice as much going as Wedgewood had been called upon to do. Jones’ aog took the lead up the field and scored the first five points. The Athlete came into possession and worked the game for four points, and when he seemed to have the better of the argu- ment turned the hare to his opponent for the kill. Wedgewood Is classed as an in and outer by his backers, and ir past work is any criterion he can be looked to for a iew stakes before siacking up in his gait. Narcissus, a’1 to 2 choice and favorite | for the stake, was put out by tne mlti- mate winner. Ko Athlete outworked Vandal in the first round after being led | three lengths. He followed this by beat- ing Freeze Out, second choice for final honors. Both victogies were short ends at 3 to 5. George Nethercott's young greyhound Red Rock won the open stake final with | George Sharman’s St. Ives as runner up. The dogs had been _given an equal amount of going, but St. Ives, because of his experience and _weli-known ring qualities, was installed a 3 to 5 favorite. Red Rock won by a score of 9 to 6. In the second round he beat Sofala, a 1 to 2 choice, and in his other courses showed to advantage. Cruiser beat Greenhall in the sefond round on the short end at 1 to 2, and in his next go picked up the hare on Minnic Sankey, a 1 to 5 favorite, without allow- ing her a point. | _The Grafter beat Fred C. the stake fa- | yorite. in a close score of 1 to 3. Lorina | beat Elista pointless at the same odds, ‘and Dorothy M, at similar figures, out- | { | | worked Tapioca by a score of 6 to 5 after he had scored the first five points. The imported Bright Gold in the open- ing course took an easy victory from | Minnie Sankey. a strong 1 to 6 choice. Jingle Bells beat Rural Artist at 1 to 3. Good coursing was the rule.

HE Christmas class singles tennis tournament, commenced yester- day at the California Club courts, attracted the largest number of players and spectators of the win- ter season. Thirty-three of the best play- ers from both sides of the bay took part, and some exceptionally fine tennis re- sulted. Grant Smith played the best game in the first class, in which he and W. B. Collier are left for the finals. Smith gave Merle Johnson a drubbing, beating him 6—0, 6—1. Collier drew C. Dunlap, the park cham- pion, and beat him rather easily, 6—3, 6—2. Dunlap was handicapped somewhat by the asphalt court, but he was rather out- classed by his opponent. Collier also won from Fred Brown, the University of Cali- fornia crack. Brown took the first set, and was within a point of the match in the second set, but Collier, who is never beaten until the last point has_been played, hung on and won the set. Brown was discouraged after losing the second set and Collier took the last by a score of 6—0. Dick Adams disposed of Harry Routh, the second best plaver in the park. The score was 6—1, 6—4. Adams next played Dummond McGavin, and a good match resulted. With the score standing set all, McGavin went in and played some re- markable tennis, winning the deciding set, 6—3. After his match with Adams many thought McGavin would win the first class honors, but in his match with Smith the latter had him well in hand all the way and won easily. the second class William Frost beat Ray Cornell, one of the best men in his class, easily, the score being 6—0. 6—3. Frank Stringham and Homer Parker reached the semi-finals in the upper half and Chet Smith aftd Frost in the lower half of the card. After Parker and String- ham had each won a set the latter de- faulted, as he would not be able to play on Christmas. With the score standing set all, the match between Smith and Frost was called on account of darkness. R. D. Walker, Harry Young and H. Webster, three park players, were in this class, but were put out in the first round. Walker made an excellent showing against Parker and nearly defeated him. In the third class it appeared Charles Kuehn would again win, but he went down to defeat in the finals. Herbert Schmidt beat Kuehn in straight sets in the finals. 24 : The fourth class players were all evenly matched and the games were close. L. E. Wood and Al Kenyon will play in the finals on Christmas. In the semi-finals Wood and R. 8. Stubbs figured in the most stubbornly contested match of the day. Stubbs took the first set, 13—11, but efforts tired him and Wood won the next two sets handily. Following is the detailed score of the tournament: Championship class—R. N. and G. F.

SOLIETY MDOPTS SPOAT VASCL Exciting Game Zfi[s Taken Up by Prominent Clubmen. ‘Vasco pelota, the Spanish ball game that is played within three walls at Central Park, has caught the fancy of athletic society. Society would not go to vasco, so vasco walked off the court and went to society. The compliment was returned, and now the young clubmen of San Francisco have come out and sald to themselyves and their world, “We will play vasco.” This game has the elements of many American games woven into one, with a papoose basket flavor that gives it its distinguished characteristic. It calls for skill, alertness, agility and endurance. All these qualitles were brought into play Yesterday, when the clubmen of San Francisco crowded-the boxes and tiers in the stands overlooking the courts. In the first place, the management sprinkled tickets over the Olympic and Bohemian clubs and the spectators’ list was consequently a long one. Vasco was heard of before, but never seen, and now that the introduction has been officlal and gratuitously given and thankfully re- ceived the sport will certainly creaté com- ment, if*not a greater patronage. The famous Olympic handball stars, who have almost forsworn alleglance to their own country in their admiration of the Irish game, crowded the benches. They let their enthusiasm have full sway, and when the games were finished they all walked downtown and took enchiladas with their drinks. Among the Olymplans there is some talk of organizing a team to learn the game and represent the club in Mexican tournaments. Aiready some of the active members are searching the Spanish dictionaries for idiomatic terms that will represent“such critical judg- ments as “‘no fault,” “terrible,” “lobster” :mld the rest of the Olympic handball pa- ols. ‘What the Olympic Club men have con- templated for a future action the univer- BURN TO DEATH N THEIR HOME Four Persons Lose Their Lives and Another May Die. DUBOIS, Pa., Dec, 22.—Near Summer- ville yesterday the home of John Ash- baugh, a farmer, was destroyed by fire and four persons were burned to death. One other is burned in such a manner that recovery is doubtful and four others are seriously burned and injured. The dead: WILLIAM ASHBAUGH, 22 years old, a brother of the owner of the Ashbaugh home. MAYBEL ASHBAUGH, aged 12. HARRY ASHBAUGH, aged 10. JAMES ASHBAUGH, aged 9. The injured: Herman Ashbaugh, burned seriously, leg broken and injured internal- ly; John Ashbaugh, the husband and fath- er, burned serfously and suffering from exposure; two young children, painfully burned. The affair happened at an early hour in the morning. The fire was probably caused by an overheated stove. L e e e e e B ] ] sity men have taken up in earnest. Tom and Will Magee, famous in a small way on the handball and_tennis courts; Wiil Crocker, Charles L. Falr, Dr. Harry and ‘Will Tevis, 8. Chase, Dick and Joe Tobin are all pupils of the vasco teachers. These men are enthusiasts, and some day shortly they will entertain society wit! exhibitions of their skifl and prowess on the Eder Jal court. The Magees and tha Tobins and the Tevises will have family feuds over the sport, and polo will then find a rival in vasco.

The only preparation for destroying these germs is Newbro's Her- plelde. Charles Klein of Laramie, Wyo., says: ‘‘Herpicide allayed the Itching, cured the dandruff and stopped my hair’s falling out; and it is bringing a new crop of hait.” 'Herpicide is free from grease or dangerous drugs, and makes hair glos- sy and soft as silk.
