4 THE SAN.- FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1902, WINTER SPORTS C + COLLEGE TENNIS PLAYERS ARE IN HARD PRACTICE Racket Wielders of the Uni- versity of California Out- class Wearers of Cardinal From Appearances This State | \ \ of Affairs Will Prevail for; Some Seasons to Come The crack tennis players representin both Etanford U versity and versity of California; as well as those of the different preparato: schools of the bay ecunties, are already practicing for the intercollegiate and academic cham- pionships. The former will be played as vsual in April, while the contests be- tween the “prep” schools will be held in May. the Uni-| The intercollegiate tennis this year will | hardly be as good as last, as exceptionally only man from the latter place classes with the cracks from Berkeley and it is doubtful if he will take part. Although Paul Selby, Berkeley's star of last year, is out of college, the biue and gold will send fully as strong a team in.o both singles and doubles as last year. Next to Wiehe Du Val Moore is probably the best player at Stanford, and althougn he is promising it would be almost impos- sible for him to improve enough to make a winning team ‘with Wiehe. The latter could undoubtedly hold his own with the best player from Berkeley. Stanford is handicapped by a lack courts, the ones now down being 10 play on. This will be remedied course of two or three years, wh new gymnasium is built, but in the n time both a lack of courts on which to develop men and a Jlack of materiai makes Stanford’s prospects look poor for severgl years to come. Should Wiehe and Moore decide not to play thelr col- lege will be represented by the Li brothers and C. Baker. These m: would stand no chance of winnin, At Berkeley there are more crack play- ers this year than ever before, and their try-outs should result in some excellent tennis. There are at least six first class men and all are so evenly matched th: only a tournament could settle the que: tion of supremacy among them. These men are Drummond MacGavin, Harold Braly, Reuben hunt, Fred Brown, Trow, Hendrick and Baker. MacGavin, with Grant Smith, won the doubles tournament for the championship of the coast. y £ doubles champion of Southern Califor- nia, Hunt is champion of several of the in Guif States and Hendrick is the inter- scholastic champion of Southern Califor- nia. These men, with the exception of Hunt and Braly, all have either two_or three years more at college, hence the prospects of blue and gold victories for ithe next few years are good. T much more interesting and much than last year. For the last two ree years Lowell High School has so strong that its representatives bave won without difficulty. They have good men to represent them this vyear, but some of the other schools have also developed good men and the contests wiil been be close. The Geary brothers from Seat- tle will represent Polytechnic High School this year. in both singles and doubles, and their chances of winning the champlonship are considered good, Lowell will hold a try-out a week from to-day on the California Club.courts. Al Rosenberg is the best player in the school and will not bave to go through the tou: nament. He will play a round robin with the two players who reach the finals of the tournament. Rosenberg will repre- sent his school in both singles and doubles, consequently there will be but one dlace to try for. His partner in doubles will probably be Carl Gardner, who helped win the championship for Lowell last year. George and A. Jones, two brothers from Lakeport, are said to be good men. It would nof create sur- prise if George made the team ahead of Gardner. Fred Sherwood and B. G. Wood will represent Boone’s School, while Har Gorham will enter the singles for Idck. Barring Rosenberg, the strongest player in the league is Ray Taylor of Oakland. If he can find a partner in his own cla the champlonship mAY g0 across the bay. In a match on Wednesday Joe Tobin beat Al Rosenberfi two stralght sets 6—4, The latter is the equal of any of the first class men-of the California Club and l}(fls defeat was a surprise to the local cracks, —_———— Swimmers at Sutro’s.

The best results are being ob- tained with the Abalone spoon and the Wilson spinner No. 4. Some have been caught with red fly and shrimp, but none with salted roe, The usual plan is for two men to go in a boat, one rowing and the other trolling with the spoon. J. Gibson hit upon the idea of allowing his boat drift down stream. He has been using fresh roe taken from fish caught in the streim. Some of the old steelhéad fishermen spend much of their time instructing the novices. One of their lessons has been never to. touch the.line when landing a fish, as he always has a dying kick in him. The proper way, they say, is to “gaft” it or else catch it under the gill with the finger. When the fish jumps out Of the water, in its desperate struggle for liberty, the rod should be dipped. If the line is then helid taut the fish may strike it with its tall, cutting it as though 1t were thread. A party of anglers, includlrfi Alex Vo%’lung, ohn Butler, Frank Marquis, Al Wilgon, M.

This meeting serves as an attraction to the follower of the game, inasmuch as it brings out a new lot of coursers of high class. To the breeder it gives the first chance to try the merits of his carefully raised and fashionably bred puppies in an event set apart. for that class. That the coming meeting will be of high cls s shown by the fact that already more than the requisite number of entries have been promised for the event. The Belle Brandon stake is scheduled | for thirty-two nominations. It is for | hounds the bona fide property of members | of the Interstate Coursing Club or any coursing club represented on the Califoc- nia Coursing Committee, the latter, how- ever, subject to the approval of the:In- terstate club. The stake will bé run on February and will be open for nominations until th night of the draw. The running of the Belle Brandon stake | serves as a preparatory trial for t§e great | the attention of the entire coursing world. Dogs that have performed successfuliy in the Belle Brandon can be counted on to enhance their reputation in_the Futurity. The, first meeting of the Belle Brandon stake was held five years ago and w wen by the courser whose name it bea Laurels in this annual event have been won by One Spot, Bohe, Freda C aud Freeze Qut, in turn. In conjunction with this stake the ¢ fornia Plate stake of ninety-six en will-be run. This event, too, is a fea of the season's coursing, its rich p serving to attract the best performer: the running. Greyhounds that are cla as champions and by their clever work earn favor in the eyes of coursing en- thusiasts are being trained carefully for the California Plate stake. Their pr ence in the event makes it second only t the Jjohn Grace Challenge Cup stake, America’s greatest coursing meeting. As soon as the hares show a disposition to slacken in their speed the Union Park management wil run some sapling stakes. The candidates in the Belle Bran- don event will start in them to gain ex- | perience on the field. The death of Valley Queen, a greyhound whose name will live in history of local coursing, hae been recorded. Vailey Queen was the dam of many celebrated coursers, among which are Right Bower, an untrained dog that won an open plains stake In fast company, and Valley Maid, both by Dashaway. ' By Skyball sha whelped Mialmo a Mefced winner, anl Fireball. By Emin Pasha, Koolawn. a heat stake winner, Forget and Mira Mon- tez. By Skyrocket she whelped O K Capi- tol, a_Mercéd victor, Morning Glory and ‘For Glory, and by Firm Friend, Royal Anne and May Hempstead, winners on local flelds. The great annual coursing event of this year, the Waterloo Cup of England, will be run at Altcar next month. Greatér in- terest is manifested in this season’s event because of thé quarantine against Irish greyhounds having been removed by the Board of Agriculture. This will bring out many of the crack Irisn nounds, notwith- standing that many of the Irish leashmen holding nominations in the classie event gave Bem up expecting niver to be ok jowed to course their hounds again in England or Scotland. Fearless Footsteps, twice winner of the cup, will be among the entries, and is considered to have a grea® chance to again win. Two open stakes are programmed for this week's attraction for Union Park pa- trons. Both events will be run down on Baturday. Likely winners in the first event are Tiburon, Charta, Wild Norah, Loyal Lad, Bhadow, Silver Cloud, Lear King, Vandal, Full Moon, Fontenoy, Mer- rimae¢, Tralee Boy, Wedgewood, Hariean Gladys, Homer .Boy, Narcissus, Hap- hagard.

Saline Surface for Their Favorite Sport A team of ladles of the San Franeisco Golf Club will play against a team of 1a of the Oakland Golf Club this morning at the Adams Point links. The San Francisco representatives will prob- ably be the following: Mrs. R. Gilman Brown, Miss Alice Hager, Miss Alice C. Hoffman, Mrs. L. T. Scott, Mi Ives, Miss Bertha Dolbeer, McBean. and Miss Sarah Drum. The game will be over eighteen holes, match play, and will begin about 10 o’elock. he victory of Mrs. R. Giiman Brown in the final round of the fifth and, as it proved, the last competition for the Coun- cil's cup for women of the San Francisco Golf Club, was generally expected and well deserved. Mrs. Brown had met and disposed bf one of her most dangerous antagonists in the second round. This was Miss Alice C. Hoffman, who won the cup in the first two competitions held for it, in January and February, 1900. Mrs. Brown placed two victories to her credit It was hoped by some golfers that Miss Alice Hager, who is playing a strong game, might win and so save the trophy for a while. But Miss Hager, though she drove a longer ball than Mrs. Brown several times, was not so accurate in her approach shots or on the green. The medal play scores of both contestants for the fifteen holes showed_ little differgnce, Mrs. vn's being 34, 32, total s, and Miss Hager's being 56, 32, total $8. But Mrs. Brown's score in the first round was swelled by two elghts as against two sixes of her opponent, and in the second round by an 8 against a 4. In the second round Miss Hager lost the tenth and eleventh, won the twelfth, lost the thir- teenth and halved the fourteenth and ff- teenth. Mrs. Brown has already wonm the Council’'s cup for women of the San Ra- fael Golf Club and has one victory to her credit on the Poniatowski cup of the Bur lingame Country Club. Though the w: fair behavior of the spectators at Del Monte deprived her of the first women's Pacific Coast golf championship last year, she is almost universally regarded as the strongest golfer of her sex in the north ern part of California. It was hoped that some of the most expert women golfers of Southern California would contend at Del Monte last year, but none of them put in an appearance. If Mrs. Brown a tends the meeting of the Pacific Coas: Golf Association in Southern California this year, it will be interesting to ebserve the results of the play between her and Mrs. Jean W. Bowers of Garvanza, who is the woman champion of the sowth, and will be upon links famillar to her. Mrs. Bowers is commonly regarded in the south as invineible and has twice won the women's championship of that part of the State. So far nothing definite is heard about the team matches between the San Fran- ciseo and Oakland Golf clubs, though the first meeting of the teams in previous seasons has taken place early in Decem- Dber. It is likely that both clubs are wait- ing for their courses to be softened by rain, which Is necessary after the long dry 'spell and the parching north wind. The golfers at the Presidio have been playing the course in the reverse direc- tion lately, so 4s to give the greens and the turf in front of them an opportunity to grow strong. Early this week the golfers resumed play over the course in the usual manner. ‘President J. W. Byrne of the San Francisco Golf Club is in New York and it-is.not likely that the meet- ing between the clubs will take place un- til his return. Three well known San Francisco goifers recently played the Scotch game on & sur- face as totally unlike a Caledonian links as can well be imagined. Indeed, the game must have been unique in the pe- cullarity- of the course on which it was played. - The holes were lald out on the salt fleld at Salton, in Southern Califor- nia, the “greens” being mere circles drawn with a plece of string and a nail on the -crust of salt erystals The holes were long and it is curious that, notwith- standing the glittering whiteness of the saline deposit, the gol bail was not diffi- cult to find. The Coahuila Indlans, who work -on the salt fleld, were impressed into the service of the golfers and must have been almost the strangest caddi ever employed. What they thought the game cannot even be guessed, for the Coahuila Indian shows absolutely no sign of emotion and seems.quite indifferent (o external matters. L B o o on it. It is expected, when the club acquires an anchorage right on the open bay, so that the yachtsmen can begin sailing as soon as they leave their moor- ings and cam tie up at the close of a cruise without having to sail for some dis- tance up the estuary, the club will largely increase its membership. —_———— Says He Stole Child’s Money Bank.
