All the championship events | will be held on these courts, and as the weather and surroundings are different the players will need considerable practice to become ac- customed to them. Collier, Crowell, Muc- Gavin, Mitchell, Salisbury, Pratt and mith will go across the bay to-morrow.

The little champion plays more accurately and with more speed. She is sure to carry off the honors again this ‘year. Drummond MacGavin is practising hard for the coming events. He will play with Smith again this year, and as the Whit- ney brothers have. played but little in the past year the former are considered to have a good chance of wresting the championship honors from the brothers, The match between Miss Hunter and Mrs. Kincaid of Alameda for the Gutte Cup was- postponed until next Tuesday. Miss Hunter has already won_the tro- phy twice, and needs to win but once more. She will have to play her best to win from Mrs. Kincald, as she is playing a strong game of late. The Rev. Mr. Guthrie has played on the local courts several times during the week and surprised the cracks by the game he put up. At one time he held the doubles | championship of Scotland with his broth- er. Mr, Guthrie has an English style and in' a short time will play an excellent game. Reuben Hunt, the crack player of the University of California, left for the East last month. Hunt will defend his title to the championship of the Gulf States, which he won last vear. ——— Low Excursion Rates—11 Days’ Trip. $40 first class, including berth and meals, San Francisco to Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver, Victoria, Everett, New What- com and return, allowing passengers am- ple, time to go ashore and visit the v: rious points of interest.

Oaklands are still the headliners. From present indications they will retain their exalted position for many moons to come. Notwithstanding their crippled condition, they play just good enough to win and as long as they can cut out the pace they are in no immediate danger of being over- hauled. Los Angeles in second place seems to have lost heart to a certain dégree, but still the Southern team is a strong onme and with a little more team work and less individual starring, should rapidly agvance on the leaders. If Jackson, the New - York fielder whom Morley has slgned, can bat in any kind of form, he will be a source of great strength to the _Angels. San -Franeisco is showing up better at present than at any time during the sea- son. Team work is more apparent and the ‘boys are hitting better and putting life and ginger into . their work. Shugart at second is playing a first class game while Reilly at third is there in old time form, a little better, ‘When Shay and Parrot arrive, the Ponies are sure to be in the race. A couple of more serfes 6f games will undoubtedly make a decided change in their percent- age. Sacramento still rides on the end of the. league wagon and unless something in the nature of a miracle turns up the Senators will be carrying the target for keeps. They seem to have lost heart and never get into. the game with the fighting determination which means success in the baseball world. However, the national sport is uncertain at all times and with a streak of good luck and some new play- ers, Fisher's team may possibly spring a surprise on the fans. ‘When old “Tdcks” Parrot dons' a Pony uniform for the first time the fans wiil have a chance to give a hand to one of the fayorites of the ancient days. Parrot was once a star pitcher and first base- man. He did stunts on the Haight street grounds twelve years ago. Mike Fisher's maneuvers in the East will be watched with interest by the en- tire local baseball world. Mike is doin the search act on the quiet and is !sjs to be offering big money to induce East- ern stars to flee to the sunny clime of California. Mike is keeping quite and probably has a sensation to spring. - Many experts who know the game say that old Bill Devereaux is responsible for the success of the Oakland Club. Devereaux certainly deserves a whole lot of credit, for without his gingery work and_funny talk the team, and.in fact the league, would be badly off.

TROUT READY FOR ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION| Fish Commissioners Have More Than Four to Put in Public Waters ORE than 4,000,000 trout will be dis- M tributed in the public waters of the State during the next few months by the California State Fish Com- mission. The members of the board have decided to pay particular attention here- to the development of Eastern brook trout. It has been found these fish thrive in a smaller body of water than do any other variety now here. They require cold water, which makes them suitable for the limpid streams of the high Slerras. Once in the stream they stay there, as they are pot of a migratory habit. ‘While taking lake trout spawn in Lake Tahoe recently the net of the Fish Com- mission’s deputies included some Macki- naw trout in their haul. These tish, which were planted four years ago, have at- tained a grewth of from six to ten pounds. . They were returned to the lake. Scme were taken in Fallen Leaf Lake last year weighing eight pounds. The anglers who went far afield during the Decoration day holidays returned empty creels. It snowed in the Sierras and rained in the lower levels. | The season is unusually late at all the re- sorts. The only consolation the anglers have is that the trout are waxing fat in the streams and will provide rare sport | for some brothers of the angle later on. Fishing for smelts at Sausalito has pro- vided good sport for the men who enjoy bay fishing. E. L. Goodman, James Watt, T. Rothschild, George Haas and J. A. Pariser had a successful day last Sunday. Mr. Goodman was high hook with fifty- five. They were all of good size and were taken on the incoming tide. M. Mattiveich has returned from a three weeks’ outing at Sims, on the up- per Sacramento. The first week was too cold fow flyfishing, but the sport has been . L0 Sam Heller and E. A. e Moyne to-day for the fish- ing. Mark Goodman caught twehty-five good- sized trout at Floristan, on the Truckee, some days since. He fished from 4 p. m. to §:30. He reports the water getting bet- ter every day. Sam Heller and a friend secured the limit of twenty trout at Lake Lagunitas some days since. Jeff Wells is settled at Boca, where he will remain some time. ————— Officers Seize Abused Horses. Three horses belonging to George Howes, who conducts a transfer busi- ness from 508 Jones street, were seized and condemned by the officers of -the So- clety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals_yesterday. It.is alleged by Sec. retary Holbrook that the animals were both ill fed and abused.

For various | reasons the exhibition was allowed to | 1apse for several years, and a fund of | $6000 accumulated. This amount would have been ample to finance an indoor show in this city. Instead of so using the méney it was sunk in the Tanforan venture with an- other $6000, leaving the Horse Show As- sociation in debt. This debt has since | been wiped out by assessment The memory of this faflure is gradu- ally fading away. This was evidenced at the Burlingame show, where many high-class horses were put through their paces in the ring by clever amatéur “whips.” Many new owners have ap- peared on the scene during the years which have passed since the last indoor show in Mechanics' Pavilion, and the | time 1s considered ripe for & revival of the Interesting exhibition. It would open appropriately the winter seasom of fes- tivities. These shows, whenever held, have al- ways had the effect of Keeping horses and equipages up to date. This is partic- ularly noticeable at San ){aleo and Bur- Hngame, where smart equipages are the rule. 5 There has been a marked increase “in equestrianism and in road and speedway ériving in this city in recent years, and these classes shoyld Dbe exceptionally strong. That there is much merit in the horse show I8 evidenced from the great growth of that institution in recent- years, says the Horseman. While the patrondge of society has done much to place the horse show on the high pinnacle of success which it now enjoys, there must of necessity have been a great popular support or the modern horse show would not have achleved' ita present high standing. That which has commanded the support and patronage of the wealthy social cirele and the admira- tion of the rank and file of healthy, sPort- loving Amiericans has been the horse itseif. Bach successive show has had an-educa- tonal effect, with the result that those who originaily admired the horse have had their regard for the beautiful equine broad- ened and intensified. - On_the other hand, those who togk but @' passing interest in the horse, who went to the show because it was the proper thing or from curiosity, have developed a truly genuine interest in man’s best four-footed friend. And this process of education is year by year adding to the ranks of horse show exhibitors and horse show spectators: Fortunately for the best interests of the horse himself, the promoters of the are not those who primarily Intes themselves from motives of financial As a rule the directors of horse show gentlemen who took up the horse show be- cause of their love for the horse aad from the hope that the show would prove o be & means of interesting others who took but & slight interest in the horse. The style of driving has Improved no- ticeably at Burlingame, and could be copied to advantage by the frequenters of Golden Gate Park. While many drive in good. style, there are still a large number who adopt a helter-skelter method which is not desirable. The stand- art has been raised at Burlingame through the teachings of such clever pro- fessional whips as Richerd Graham, | Joseph Dyer and Eugene Demiddeler,
