Those who have seen muc! work of The Challenger think she ca; t00 much canvas for the breezes pre ing in this bay during the summer, and also that her rigging and gear are too | weak for the strain to.which they are | subjected.

To-day the singles will be played, while the dou- bles are scheduled for next Saturday. For the last five years the players of one school or another have so outclassed their opponents as to rob the matches of all interest. This year the schools are evenly matched and each is thought to have a good chance of winning. Lowell High School has won the championship for the last three years and her repr sentatives are slight favorites this yea Al Rosenberg is easily the best player in the league, but has not practiced at- all during the past year. If his strength s out he should win the singles to- Rosenberg’s most dangerous oppo- ent is Will Geary of the n. High School. e latter school is strong in both do and singles, but it is doubtful if } ors will be able to take part. The en t closed Wednesday, and Polytech has not as yet sent in the names o its representatives. If the school officials can give a good excuse for not sending in the names matters will be arranged sat- isfactorily and the team allowed to com- pete, otherwise the Polytechnic entries | will ‘not be accepted. It is to be hoped Polytechnie will be allowed to take part, as otherwise the interest in the, tourna. ments would be greatly lessened and vic- tory would again go to Lowell High School without much of a struggle. It is thought by many that Geary will defeat Rosen- berg should the two meet. A uliar, circumstance attending the ténnis, tournament last year was the fact that Norman Hodgkinson of Lowell High School won the singles tour- nament without playing a match. Eight schools were represented, but were so completely outclassed by the Lowell man that each man defaulted to him until he had won the tournament without playing a game. This is the first time this has ever happened on the coast, and it may never happen again. The following teams have already en- tered: Berkeley High S(‘ho(flACang. sin- gles; Esterly and N. Ambrose, doubles. Alameda. High_School—C. Lewis, singles; C.:Lewis and M. Epstein, doubles. Oak- land High School—R. Gorrill, singles; Hinds and Smith, double: California School of Mechanical Arts—Harry Gor- ham, singles; Gorham and Leonard Cut- ler, doubl: Lowell High School—Al Ro- senberg, singles; -Rosenberg and Alec Beyfuss, doubles. Trinity School—G. Rid- ey, singles; Ridley and Henry Mills, dou- bles. St. Matthew's—L. J. Webb, singles. Beyfuss, Rosenberg's partner, is the smallest player in the league, but is quite clever. Harry Gorham of Lick is capable of playing a strofig game and should not be overlooked in §iguring the chances of different schoolgi Carl Gardner, who played for Lowell last year, left school a | month ago and will not participate. Had he remained in school Lowell would have won again this year without an_effort. Play in the tourngment to-day will com- mence at 9 o'clock. Many of the tennis players are moving out of town for the summer months and the club courts do not present so lively a scene as they have iIn the past few months, The park courts are becoming more popular than ever. Each week the attendance is increasing. It will probably be necessary in a <hort time to lay out more courts. The next tournament of any importance will be the annual State champlonship tournament inaugurated last year. The date of this event is the 2d and 4th of £ of the coast championship tournaments. The latter will again be played in September. All tournaments this year e Hotel Rafael courts, There will probably be a will be held on San Rafael. { class singlés tournament on the California Club courts on Decoration day. The sec- ond class singles tournament for the chal- lenge cups will be held on the park courts a week from Sunday. ———— A varied and sélect line of cameras and photographic supplies at Sanbor: Vail's, 741 Market street idy Polytechnic | Licene | s CAzoyL, DEMIBpE; &2 o \ ‘PraISHIN" FJ CAROLANS Y Por.o PoNY.

It will continue two days. The countryside is Idoking its best now in its dress of green, while there is a riot of bloom In all the gardens. The tanbark ripg will be made in front of the club- house, the latter serving as a stand from which can be viewed the performance of the horses in the ring. There will be music and gayety and an opportunity for the display of the daintiest creations of the modiste’s art. The competition this year will be more friendly than keen. Some of thé most prominent flgures at former shows will not be in evidence, thus affording the owner of a modest stable an opportunity of displaying his equipages without fear of being outclassed. The jumping competitions will supply the customary thrills, as: some of the herses go over the fences, while others go through them. Owing to the practice af- forded horses and riders during the past winter by the meets of the San Mateo Ccunty Hunt, this class should be a large and-a representative one. \The shows in the past have afforded much pleasure to the spectators. They have also had the broader effect of raising the standard of horses and of equipages. ———————— Yosemite Via the Santa Fe.

From indicatijons the main struggle for the present wil| be between Ewing and Mor- ley, the other managers resting on thelr osrs and looking on. At this time last year the clubs stood as they finished the season—San Franclsco, Los. Angeles, Sacramento and Oakland, The same thing may happen this year if nothing serious happens before Decem- e ';he 8porting Times, a leading baseball ‘weekly of Boston, speaks in the highest terms of Courtney's work. It classes him ag one of the fastest fielders in the Na- tional League and says he is sure to fin- igh with the first ten batters at the close of the seéason. s It is to be hoped Mike Fisher's name- sake, who has been chosen to do some tossing for the Senators, will not prove a Jonah to the tailenders. Many of the cranks think one Fisher is bad enough, but when a second butts in there is sure to be a sensation. The new pitcher’s first neme is Chauncey, and this may make a difference. It is certainly a great one for the boys on the bleachers to toy with, The scorer at Sacramento bunkoed Rube Waddell out of a strikeout last Tuesday. The dispatch said, “If Anderson had held the third strike on Unglaub in the sev- enth it would have made an even dozen.” According to the rules a strikeout is counted, no matter whether the third strike is held or dropped, so Rube is en- titled to one more than he received. San Francisco plays Sacramento here next week, while Oakland will take a Pullman ride to the tropical regions and tussle with the Angels. Los Angeles does not do something startling on the home (fl!;npnd this time Oakland will have a chance to be it for a while longer. Only four of the Oakland players suc- ceeded in getting on bases in Thursday's SOCIETY PLANNING FOR TROUT ARE SCARCE IN COAST STREAMS AT PRESENT TIME Anglers Are_Departing, One by One, for Favorite Spots in the Sierra Nevadas Six-Pound Rainbow.Among a Number Sent From Boca to a Well-Known Angler Here NGLERS are already sending down reports from the Truckee to the ef- fect that despite’ the high water trout are being taken ‘on the fly. Boca, Verdi and Floriston are the princi- pal ‘stations along the river at which the anglers rendezvous. Henry Skinner received a box of fish scme days since from Mr. Dougherty at Boca. One was a six-pounder. The men who fish with spinners are using ‘hooks some three times as large as those ordinarily used. An average size 18 number seven. Those now called for are “three-naught.” the deep water near the river bed. Frank Vernon, Bert Spring, “Doc" Watt, J. B. Kenniff and -E. L. Goodman fished at the “‘Big Fill,” near Point Reyes, last Sunday. A two-pound striped bass, secured by Mr, Gaodman, was the net re- sult of their work. Small striped bass were numerous near [ A . the sand spit at Point Reyes, Bert Spring taking them out two at'a time in flies. | As they were under the legal size, he re- turned them to the waters of the creek. Georfi ‘Walker and W. A. Cooper fished near gunitas, securing _thirty 12 fish. From appearances, all the big fish have gone out to the ocean. The San Gregoria is reported full small fish. in prime condition, the members of one party taking nearly a thousand trout from the stream in a few days’ ‘fishing. Dr. J. F. Lane and George Lane took four ‘10-poundérs near Santa Cruz some days since. John Fatjo, J. A. Pariser and Fred King tried for bass near West Berkeley last Sunday. They did not land a fish. A’ big salmon cleaned out Mr. Pariser. " “Dec” Watt will try his luck on' the Los Gatos to-morrow. Jeff Wells will leave June 1, on his an- nual pilgrimmage to Boca. He went up last year for two weeks and remained on the Truckee fourtéen. Bam Heller, Dave Sachs and Mr. Lilien- thal have gone to Big Meadow, where tha trout are both large and numerous. Edgar Painter has been enjoying the angling at Klamath Hot Springs. Al Cum- ming is still there. Achille Roos went up some days since. SR gy L FRESIDENT COMMUTES i SOLDIER’S SENTENCE Joseph Keane, Found Guilty of Mur- der of Filipino, Escapes With Life Imprisonment. L News was recefved at army headquar- ters yesterday that President Roosevelt had commuted the death sentence of Jo- scph Keane, Company F, Twentleth In- fantry, to life imprisonment. Keane was found guilty of the murder of an unarmed native at Tanauan, Philippine Islands, and was senteénced to death by the court-mar- tial. The sentence was confirmed by the t‘:#nunanding general and the Secretary of ar. President Roosevelt approved of all the findings, but in view of mitigating cir- cumstances. lightened the soldier's pun- ishment. Keane, however, will not be al- lowed to serve his time in a penitentiary in America, but must live the remainder of his life in some prison in the tropies.

In Thursday’s game at Sacramento twenty basé hits were made - by both teams, yet, strange to say, not one of them was good for more than a single base.
