San Francisco contains more high-grade billiard players, according to competent judges, than any other city. There are easily twenty men here who can be count- ed on to average from & to b In competi- tion. Nearly all of these are business and professional men. Among these twenty there is a keen rivalry for supremacy. The six men entered in the Waldort tour- nament are so evenly matched that each one is well backed to win. Dr. O. B. Burns, the present class B champion, has played in the tournaments for upward of fifteen years. He is afraid of no one in his class and is always ready to defend his title. His play is remark- able for steadiness. At the same time he readily adapts his style of play to attack his cpponent’s weak point. Frank Pechart probably possesses the greatest speed of any of the entries.. He is, however, comparatively new to com- petitive plaving and is apt to be rattled by his gpponent's safety plays. J. J.“Roggen is a Sirong open table player, excitable and high-strung, but a good fighter In a contest. It is dl! r_:ulr. to leave Roggen a shot he cannot solve, Dr. W. E. Davis, while a new man at the game, is a speedy and brilllant per- former and always a dangerous opponent. During the past week he has defeated in Ymcflce nearly every one with whom he has played, Frgnk) Whitney is also a young man. His style of play is more open than Da- vis', and he makes a hard game for his ek Coffin s the most uncertain quan- tity in the problem of Einklng the win- ner. Should he play in his best form he is likely to capture the trophy. @il b @ gles is doubtful. Miss Florence Sutton is playing good tennis at present, and in practice games has often defeated her ter May. Miss Marion Jones, who recently won the championship of the United States, may possibly be here next month, Many _enthusiastists would like to see the champion and Miss May Sutton meét at the nef. < Sherwood H. Adams and Orville C. Pruit_intend leaving soon to contest in the Pacific Northwest tournament. The event is the twelfth annual open fourna- ment, and will be played August 12 on the courts of the Tacoma Club, Samuel Hardy and O. C. Pratt made the trip last year, and {n doubles succeeded in defeating the Victoria team, R. P. Pow- @l and A. T. Goward. Hardy was beatea in the finals of the singles by R. Powell, A match between Hamilton and Percy Murdock against Frank S. Mitchell and William B. Collier Jr. is scheduled for to-morrow on the Hotel Rafael courts, George F.

OAKLAND TEAM STILL PLAYING WINNING BALL Fans Ask Lohman to Pitch Some One Other Than Big Bill Cristall on Sunday HATEVER is left of the pennant Wra(‘e in the California Baseball League seems to rest between San Francisco and Oakland. Oakland is still the headliner with a tremendous lead. The Ponies are playing the real article of ball, and if everything goes well they should begin to give the lead- ers a run before many weeks elapse. Los Angeles has apparently lost ail li- cense to the flag. The team Is not above the class occupied by the Senators. Fish- er's men recently beat them four games straight, thus making it decidedly inter- esting for the Angels in their home town. As Sunday approaches again everything points to the probabllity that Southpaw Cristall will again occupy the b~ for Oakland. It is nearly time for Manager | Pete Lohman to give the fans a chance to see some other twirler work on the Sabbath. Cristall pitches every Sunday afterroon when Oakland plays bere. This has hap- Dened regularly for the past two months. Not that the fans have any objection to the clever left-winger's box work, but fully 75 per cent of those who attend Sun- day games never have a chance to see any other. They are always up against the same pitcher. Pete Lohman explains that there is a superstition connected with Oakland’s pitching staff. Cristall has pitched only 2 few games on the far side of the waves, and in every instance it has re- sulted disastrously for the leaders. Near- ly every Sunday game Cristall has of- ciated in he has won. Therefore Cristall refuses to pltch on the Oakland diamond. Lohman is the boss and should cut the superstition out and give the local fans a chance to view Schmidt or Hodson in actlon once in a while. There is not a fan in the State who does not feel grieved at Dr. Moskiman's departure from the Oakland club. Moski- man was undoubtedly the most popualar ball player in California, and not only a ball player, but a gentleman. He had never played ball professionally with any club other than Oakland, and the manage- ment certainly should have given him a fair chance instead of hurting his feel- ings and letting him go without offering any inducements to stay. Unglaub develops a mania for batting out four-sackers as soon as he reaches ‘Los Angeles. He has already made two of them this season, and both have been cracked over the fence. Mugsy McGraw has at last made good his threat to set even with Ban Johnson. Mugsy has kidnaped the whole Baltimore American League club. Those who have not gone to New York with him have joined the National League in some other city. This will probably start a new baseball sensation in New York, and may change the course of the present Amer- ican League, Rube Waddell's pitching continues to be the ruling sensation in American League soclety. So far Rube has lost but one game for Philadelphia, and that was the int he pitched. He never did such good work while in California. Appar- ently he never tried his best to win for Morley. FUTURITY DOGS BEING TRIED ON THE FIELD Candida?es for thes ' Rich Stake Are Given Plenty of Coursing Practice NI CANDIDATES for this year's cours- ing Futurity are being regularly tried” out in puppy and sapling stakes, owners desiring to give their greyhounds all the experience possi- ble. ‘Second payment has been made on seventy-six youngsters. Under ordinary condlitions this should insure at least six- ty-four of them going to the slips in Sep- tember if disease does not stalk through the various kennels. Of the principal strains represented Emin Pasha leads with eighteen represen- tatives. Fetter Free has eleven, Fortuna Favente six, Herschel's Pride and John- ny R. five each: For Freedom, Rocker, Fine Fire and Gold Hill three edach; Con. nemara two and Sylvanus one. Chiarini Brothers' Cosette, which will be a starter, won a puppy stake. Belle Free was runner-up in the same stake. Miranda was runner-up in a puppy stake, P. M. Curtis’ Quito has shown a lot of speed in Los Angeles. The sayme owner will have eight representatives of Fetter Free in the running. M. C. Delano’s Conroy, a son of Conne- mara, won a sapling stake, while his sis- ter, Consort, won a uppy stake. Ralph Arthwein of St. Louis will be rep- resented by Can't Tell, John McKenna, Spencer and Missour}, all by Emin Pasha- aggie N. George McE. Malcolm's Fine Fire youngsters Matters Much and May Morn- ing have each won stakes and are consid- ered promising candidates. Menlo Prince, another entry, won a pup- py stake. J. H. Rosseter will be represented by ten youngsters by Fortuna Favente, Emin Pasha and For Freedom. Renegade Apache has shown a lot of speed. Rubber Ankles, the star of the bench show, is wsoflexgected to develop good qualities on the field. W. C. Glasson has purchased Honest John (Emin PasharMamie Pleasant) from L. M. Connpell. George Dayton of Lincoln, Nebraska, secretary of Mississippi Valley Futurity Association, advertised for bids for the annual meet from Eastern coursing clubs, bida to be opened on August 15. Friend, Nebraska, secured it last year on a bonus of $400. It is expected this amount will be more than doubled this year. A sapl!n§ stake was scheduled to be run at Union Park to-morrow, but the neces- sary number of entries falled to qualify. Owners complained when sapling stakes were mummnui‘,l but now that they are listed as regular Ynonthly events the man- agement of the park finds it exceedingly difficult to fill an eight-dog stake. ‘William McCaffrey has bought for Ralph Orthwein of St. Louls McKenna and Can't Tell, by Emin Pasha-Maggie N., trom D. J. Healey. Both are listeq in the Futurity. Mccaflr? will start Ses- quog, Tiburon, Elista and Lady Clare next week. Mac has also with him the only one of the Fortuna Favente-Wave litter, a fine-logking black greyhound, also listed in_this Year’'s Futurity. Coursing at Unlon Park to-day will commence upon the arrival of the 1 o'clock train. - The card will be made up of the reserve stake and one round of the class reserve. To-morrow a special local clubs have signifies OARSMEN SEEK SPECIAL RACES AT EL CAMPO Plan to Bring Together the Cleverest of the Junior and the Senior Skiffmen OFFICIALS of Ariel Rowing Club are making extensive preparations for the regatta and field day which they intend to hold on . August 17 at El Campo. An interesting programme of events is being arranged. The Dol- phins are secking to arrange races be- tween George Baker of their club and Fred Ayers of the Alamedas and also be- tween F. J. Sherry, who wore the Dol- phin colors in the regatta on Lake Mer- ritt on the Fourth, and E. B. Thorning of the Alameda Boat Club. If these races are arranged, and they probably will be, they will without doubt be rowed at EI Campo and should attract widespread at- ention. < In the senior outrigged skiff race on the Fourth of July Ayers succeeded in defeat- ing Baker, but the latter was seriously ha.ndlcagped by the parting of the key of one of w{ock to spread. Baker started in the lead and is oarlocks, causing the the Dolphins stoutly maintain that, under equal conditions, he can outrow Ayers, It has been suggested that the two clubs offer a suitable trophy for the race. The arrangements for a race between Sherry and Thorning cannot be comyle!. of the ed until the registration committee Pacific Athletic Assoclation of the Ama. teur Athletic Union has decided What penalty shall be imposed upon She: for rowing under the Dolphin colors l’oruy In- dependence Day. The officers of the Dol phin Club claim Captain James of th: Olympic Club §aye Sherry permission to row. Captain Jahes denies this. At any rate it 1S not expected Sherry will be severely punished.
