It was not.a whole |10t of credit to take same, how- | ever, for the Ponies w only a shade less erratic than the Senatorial visitors. It took eleven rounds to turn the trick, and the result was 4 to 3. The contest abounded in ragged fea- tures, with little or no sparkling plays to offset them. The hitting was light, and | why more runs did not result is a mys- tery. The crowd was the largest Friday attendance at the grounds this season. Cutter and Chimmie Whalen opposed one another on the slab. Both ‘lacked control, though the former was in fine form after the first half of the trouble. He was the whole show and had Chimmie outpointed a block, but the errors behind kim were S0 numerous as to unnerve him, The last round was the disastrous one for the young college twirler. Up to that he allowed only -four safe swats, en the Ponies came up for a final nd they hit out a pair of clean ‘ones vays came one at a _time. arted in rattling iform. Casey singled, and by clever running reached third while Eagan went out be- tween second and first. Sheehan's timely Grive to center scored Casey. Nordyke tied up the score for the Po- es in the same round. He wérked Cut- | ter for a pass, and a couple of infield | outs landed him at the third sack. Shay s0 walked, and both runners did . pret- | t double steal trick, which put Dyke on | the safe side of the rubber. He might |have been captured only Casey threw badly to the plate and received an error tor his poor conduct. The game then dragged wearily along till the eleventh. Both sides weuld score }a run once in a while. Sometimes the re- | sult would be in doubt, but the Senators | ¥ _had the better of tha argument, though they did not seem to r | fact,” They had no trouble in ge on bases, but when the time | bring some of them in Mik men were never there.

A rough estimate places the number at 3000, and probably a greater number than this “will make the pilgrimage over ths desert to the hospitable shores of the Golden Gate. Seni Om Sed Temple from Des Moines, Iowa, will ‘be the leading band. This is one of the oldest and largest temples of Knights in the United States to-day and many men of note and distinction will be among the number. Several of the best known temples from different parts of Jowa and Colorado will complete the delegation, Several special trains have been char- tered to bring the first and most impor- tant installment of the notable visitors to this ‘city. They will leave Des Moines August 2. The special will be divided into several sections and will stop at the principal points of interest along the route. It will stop at Denver and take on a load of Knights at that point and then proceed west. Other stops will be made at Salt Lake City, Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs, where the passengers will have a chance to leave the train and inspect the beau- ties of the surrounding country. The par- ty will arrive at Los Angeles August 9, and after a brief stop at the southern city proceed on its way to San Francisco. All the festivities of the great conven- tio will be taken in and important busi- ness also will be transacted. San Fran- 0 and its many points of interest will thoroughly explored by the visitors. One round of celebrating will be the or- der of the programme, and the many Knights will be thinking of Frisco for many a day after their departure. The party will remain here till August 16, when the return trip will be ‘com- menced. Portland will be visited first, then Seattle and Butte, Mont. After this trip the party wil make a stopover at the great Yellowstone National Park, where five days will be spent in sight- seeing. Chicago will he visited and . the pilgrims will break up and proceed to théir homes. A famous goat is now on the way to the local temples of Pythians. The hon- orable creature was shipped from Maine abeout eight months ago and is being roy- ally entertained by the Knights of Py- thias in every town in which he happens to arrive. It is at present having a good time with a Nebraska temple and is due in this city within a few weeks. TENNIS EXPERTS DISCUSS RECENT TOURNAMENT PLAY Few Matches Are Scheduled Until the Big September Coast Championship Meet HE principal topic of discussion among the tennis enthusiastis during the week was the State champion- ship tournament, which resulted in a victory for George Whitney. The latter proved conclusively that he is in a class by himself. Both Collier ‘and Smith showed marked improvemert in the tour- nament. In another year they should be strong candidates for championship honors. The tennis players at large showed dis- satisfaction at the manner in which the tournament was run last week. The com- mittee either did not understand the handling of a large tournament or else was neglectful. On two occasions the spectators and players were kept waiting because the committee failed to be on hand with the balls for the matches, In- creasing. the entrance fee was another change that did not meet with the ap- proval of the players. A smaller fee would have brought a larger entry. Tennis is more popular at presént than it has ever been, but there were fewer matches in the tournament last week than in any champlonship event ever held on the coast. The poorer players should be encouraged. Play on the California Club courts will be rather light for the next month or six weeks. Most of the cracks have left town and will not return until a week or two before the coast Champlonshlg tourna- ments in September. The last September tournaments were by far the largest and most _interesting ever held in the West, but they will be eclipsed by the coming events. Several ladies will come up from the south and Beals Wright, the second best player in the United Btates, will also take part in all probability. The park players are as enthusiastic as ever, There is apparently no falling off in the attendance at the public courts. The third of a series of class tourna- ments for the silver challenge cups will be played a week from to-morrow. After these trophies have been disposed of the park players will hold handicap doubles tournaments for two handsome silver challenge cups which have been donated by an enthusiast. Several interesting tournaments were held at Mill Valley on Independence day. They were invitation affairs played on the Billings court, which is said to be one of the finest on the coast. It is made of decomposed rock and is as level as a bil- liard table. ZThe events included a handl- cap doubles ‘and scratch singles for men and mixed doubles. The latter was won by Miss Anita Hintz and A. Smith, who beat Miss Helena Hintz and J. Cutler in the finals. The score was 6-3, 7-5. Moul- ton Warner beat G. Eacret in the finals of the singles, the score being 6-4, 6-4. The final of the doubles brought out by far the best match. In it M. Warner and C. Judah disposed of Spencer Grant and R. Judah after a desperate match. The score: 4-6, 7-5, 10-8. ———— Wrenn Brothers Are Victors. NEW YORK, July 11.—The national dou- les champions, Ward and Davis, were beaten to-day by the Wrenn brothers in the tennis tournament at the Westchester Club.

Ryno has been arrested on a warrant sworn out at Galva for alleged connec- tion with the shooting of Miss Maud Hclmes, who was badly wounded here ou Sunday night last by some one, who fired a load of buckshot through her bedroom window. Dr. Ryno is 54 years old and has lived in McPherson County for twenty- filve years. He denies all knowledge of the shooting. There is no known motive for the shooting of Miss Holmes, who be- longs to one of the most prominent fam- ilies in the community. the doctor had been arrested there was talk of mob violence and Ryno was hur- ried t. McPherson. The detectives have collected a mass of letters written to Maud Holmes dated at placés in McPherson County with a dif- ferent name signed to each. These let- ters have been compared with the writing of Ryno end the handwriting is declared to be similar. One letter represents the writer to be a widower, wealthy, with one child, and seeking a wife and asking her to correspond with him. One letter was written when the Holmes dog was poi- soned recently. Another letter suggests another neighbor as guilty, and when the poison was traced it was found that tne day before Ryno had purchased strych- nme at a local drug store. Ryno was identified by the Holmes fam- ily as the man who called at their house last October under the name of CGeorge A Clark. The purpose of all the letter- writing and the poisoning of the dog is a mystery. It is believed that should it be proved that Ryno shot Miss Holmes it. was the act of an insane man.

OAKLAND, July 1l.—Fred Nopel and Erwin Knowles of this city had a battle vesterday afternoon on the old county road above Fruitvale with an infuriated bull. The young men encountered the brute on the road while they were on a hunting trip and driving in a cart. Nopel tried to frighten the bull, which obstruct- ed the road, by flaunting a red cloth gun cover. That maddened the animal, which charged upon the men, smashing a wheel of the cart. Nopel jumped and climbed over a fence, his flight attracting the bull. Meanwhile Knowles managead to get the horse and cart out of the way. was _rejoined by his companion furthér up the road, and they repaired to a near- by farmhouse for safety. 1 BERLIN, July 1.—A decree enforcing all the provisions of the meat law in April, 1803, has been officially published, | ‘When it became known in Galva that | Fred Sherry, the crack oarsman, who violated the order of the association Dy not rowing in the last Fourth of July regatta under the auspices of the Olympic Club, will escape with a mild reprimand. At a meeting of the regatta committee at the Olympic Club last evening the Sherry matter was the important topic of discussion. It appears Sherry, who is a member of the Olympic and the Dolphin clubs, decided to represent the latter or- ganlzatlon at the regatta. Captain 8..J. 'embroke on behalf of the Olympic Boat Club protested, and at the last meeting ! | of the association Sherry’s application for a license was recelved and passed on con- dition that he would row for. the Olym- .| ples. Sherry won the junior skiff event at the regatta, but rowed under protest of the Dolphins. The matter came up .at_ last night's meeting. George James; who is a dele- ate from the Olymple Club, and A. P. othkopf, who represents the Dolphins, l ad a wordy debate on the charges brought against Sherry. In the end a number of witnesses from the Dolphin Club were examined to prove that Sherry had been given his release by the Oylm- pics. Captain James. denied this, but C. M. Farrell, vice president of the Dolphins, and T. R. Dixon, captain of the same club, reiterated that James had given Sherry the privilege of rowing for them. After considerable debate, upon motion of Mr. Rothkopf it was recommended to the registration committee that as Sher- ry had been deprived of his prize for win- ning the race that be sufficient punish- ment for him and he be not penalized further. The motion was seconded by Timothy Fitzpatrick of the South End Club and was carried. Previous to the Sherry matter it was decided to declare the junior skiff race off owing to the controversy it started. This event was won by Sherry. Previous to the meeting of the regatta committee, which is a part of the Pacific Association, the latter organization held a meeting and granted Alec Pape ths privilege of taking part in a theatrical show to be given at the Central Theater. Pape is to row in_ “The Dark Secret” against the veteran Leander Stevenson. he_applications for membership made by the Observatory, Occidental and Twentieth Century athletic clubs were referred to the membership committee. The Twentieth Century Club was granted a sanction to hold an amateur boxing ex- hibition the latter part of this month.

CITY ROWING MEN PLAN REGATTA ON EL CAMPO COURSE Ariel, Dolphin and Olympic Bargemen Eager to Have Another Trial of Speed SUALLY the annual championship rowing regatta is followed by a pe« riod of dullness and lack of interest, but this year there will be a consid- erable amount of activity among the oarsmen for some time to come. -The regatta on Lake Merritt, while highly successful and punctually carried out, left several questiops unsettled. In the senior outrigged skiff race George Baker, who started out strongly, burst the key of an oarlock early in the con- test and.was unable to put any strensth into his strokes. As the Alameda oars- men pin their faith on F. W. Ayers and the Dolphins have great confidence in Baker, it is likely another meeting be- tween them will be arranged. Then- the Arfel junior barge crew up to the turning stakes in the Fourth of July regatta held second place and were revented from rounding by the Delphin our, which: was last. The stakes were too close together and did not give each crew space to turn without interfering with others. The:Ariel four is ready to try its strength against any of the ju- nior_barge crews, and as the Olympic and Dolphin crews are also willing it is like- ly a race between these three crews will be arranged. At the last regular meeting of the Ariel Rowing Club there was a large and en- thusiastic attendance. - A vote of thanks was given to the South End Rowing Club for the use of their boathouse by the Ariel crews while in training for the re= cent regatta. Leander Stevenson, who coached the Ariel barge crews, was presented with & traveling bag by the junior and interme- diate fours, the presentation being made by Willlam McKee, captain of the club. speeches were made by E. L. Smith and E. J. Lynch, members of the crew that won the intermediate barge champlon=- ship. James O’Connell, a member the Ariel Rowing Club, has recently returned from Alaska. The club is increasing in numbers, twenty new members being elected last Monday and ten applications for membershlg?émg received. In August the Ariel Rowing Club will give a regatta and picnic. Arrangements have been made for the use of the picnie grounds and course at El Campo and & committee has been appointed to take charge of the event. e chairman of the committee is G. McGinnis, secretary J. A. Geddes and treasurer E. L. Smith. The following are the committees: Press and_printing—J. A. Geddes, E. J. Lynch, G. Ross and D. O'Connell; grounds and transportation, H. Lester and G. McGin- nis; tickets—W. McKee, G. Ross and J. Quinn; prizes—H. Lester, R. Ellis, E. J. Lynch, J. Berwin and E. L. Smith; mu- sic and dancing—J. Berwin, T, Sewail and R. Elis; refreshments—G. McGinnis, R. Eilis, J. Quinn, E. L. Smith and Charles Wilson; regatta, E. J. Lynch; swimming, J. A. Geddes; track and field sports, H. Wilson and J_A. Geddes. There will be wimming races and a water polo game. | The rowing races will be half-mile dashes and will be fully within view of the spec- tators. The Stockton Athletic Association has interest in rowing and may arrange a regatta at Stockton for September 9. George Eckhardt of Stock- ton has been assured by President W. B. Hinchman of the Pacific Association that the San Francisco oarsmen will gladly take part in such an event. The meeting of the registration com- mittee of the Pacific Association did not take place last Wednesday night, but will be held next week. The case of F. Sher- ry, who won the junior outrigged skiff race on July 4, still remains undecided. ‘The Dolphin# are not inclined to yleld, saying it was understood ouerry was to wear their colors at the annual regatta; that for months he used the Dolphin skiffs and boathouse for Lralnlns pur- poses, and was regarded as a Dolphin Tepresentative. Had the Dolphins belleved him to be bound to row under Olympic colors they would have made Leo Wien- and their representative. In the race on Lake Merritt Sherry wore a racing suit which showed no club colors. Sherry had been instructed by the rega.ta committee of the Pacific Association that he must not take part in the regatta unless he wore Olympic colors. At the recent semi-annual election of Club_the following were elected: President, C. H. Smith; vice president, F. 5. Cone; tri urer, A. G. Bell; lmembers of the execu- tive 'board—A. L. Kihm, J. H. Peterson and E. B. Thorning: captain, H. E. Nel- son; lieutenant, Z. T. Thorning; sergeant at arms, John Lewis. With the exception of the sergeant at arms, all the members of the former board were re-elected. Game Law Violator Caught.

He has been a tireless worker, both_on the road and in the gymnasium at Harbin Springs and has stored up & stock of vitality which should carry him a long journey if occasion demands it. Jeffries will put the finishing touches to his preparation in Oakland, where he will arrive to-morrow evening. He will es- tablish training quarters at the Rellance Athletic Cluh and will use the Alameda County roads for his outdoor work. As the battle will take place in a tent the champion wants to prepare himself for the conditions under which he must fight. San Francisco, late in July, is likely to be many degrees colder than Harbin Springs and a sudden change of :femperature might not be beneficial to the big boxer. Fitzsimmons seems satisfled to remain at Skaggs, where he has undergone the conditioning process under ideal condi- tions. The surroundings have all been congenial to the domestic Cornishman. George Dawson has had his work and his diet in charge. Hank Grifin and Tom Wilson have given him all the boxing practice he needs to true up his eyes. ‘Work on the amphitheater at Four- teenth and Valencia streets, where the men will meet, is going on steadily. Man- ager Alex Greggains says it will be com- pleted in ample time. The view from every seat will be good, as the chairs are grouped about the ring. There will be but four posts between the spectators and the fighters. These will run up from the four corners of the ring and will support a stout frame work. This will, in turn, support the canvas which will, cover all the seats, except the cheapest ones. No moving pictures wilk be taken. One company wanted the fighters to pay. for the privilege of having pictures taken. After the fight the men would have the negatives and would then have to market the pictures. As they are mnot in that branch of the show business, they de- clined to ~consider the proposition seriously. Lou Houseman, the well-known sport- ing editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean, is here to attend the fight in the interest of his paper. A number of prominent writ- ers are expected during the next few days Fhie shirts for all manner and classes of men
