The south and west sides of Shasta are the best grounds close at hand. On the west there is good deer hunting around Castle Lake, distance nine ‘miles.

Players Are in Training | for the Pacific Coast | Champi_nships. ‘T IS cracks are getting back | to town one by one, and practice . for the Coast championship tour- W1 oontiane naments has already commenced. r. The dOVE | rhese events will begin the last weck | - °flin August and continue up to the | Sth of September, when the championship | singles will be played. Some of the ex- | | perts are practicing at San Rafael, while | the majority are doing preliminary work on the California Club course. 1t is interesting to note the evolution of in Golden Gate Park. Last fall e court was laid out as an experiment, = number of players increased so rapidly additional courts were blilt as | soon as possible. The increase has kept | up steadily, and there are now twelve courts, every available bit of ground in t vicinity being converted into a ten- | rt. After obtaining courts the piay- saw the necessity of organizing, and | the Park Tennis Club, one of the largest in the West, resulted. The players next turned their attention | | to their dress, which was neither suitable | for tennis nor comfortable. The bullding | of a fine clubhouse equipped with show- ers and lockers made it possible for the enthusiasts to wear the regulation tennis flannels. The white duck and the bright- | | hued sweaters, surrounded by the green | foliage, make a pretty picture when playi is in full swing. Last week the women followed in the footsteps of the men and organized an annex@ito the men’s club, known as the dieM Annex. The new organization al- y has a large membership list. Fri- y has been set aside as ladies’ day. On this day the courts will be reserved | for ghe ladies, who will hold tournaments every two weeks. Yesterday was the first ladies’ day, and the ladies were out | in force for practice. The first ladies’ | | tournament will be held next Friday. The latest and most important move | s the building of an asphalt court in place of one of the earth courts. This | court was used for the first time last Sunday, and although the players were | unused to asphalt their play showed | | marked improvement. When the remain- | ing courts are converted into asphalt | ones the park will contain the finest courts west of Chicago. Some of the | players are prejudiced against the asphalt | | court, but this prejudice will be over- come’ in short order. With ten asphalt courts situated as these are and a well organized club, the park can boast of | one of the most successful tennis organi- zations in the country. | | The class singles tournament com- menced on the park courts last Sunday will be completed to-morrow. Play was finished in the first class, but in the second class mi-finals and finals | ayed. In the first class Dunlap carried off the honors for | the second time. The surprise of the tournament was the showing -made by | George Bates. He beat the veteran Routh in straight sets and made an ex- cellent showing against Dunlap in the finals. Dunlap and Allen have each won the cup twice. | In the second class the matches will be | @s. follows: Clarence Griffin vs. C. C. Sayre and Alec Beyfus vs. Balley Mac- Farland. Griffin and Beyfuss are almost sure to come together in the finals, and | a pretty match will result. These boys i are two of the smallest and youngest players in the park, and both are, clever. Several California Club players wili cross rackets with fhe park experts Sun- day on the park codrts. Drummond Mac- Gavin and the Smith brothers, Grant and | Chester, will play doubles on_the new asphalt court in the morning. MacGavin $2d Grant Smith will play Harry Routh #nd Charles Dunlap, the strongest team the Park Club, and the Smith brothers be pitted against James Code and George Bates. | , The eighteenth annual tournament for | the champlonship of Southern California will be played at Santa Monica during | | the week " commencing August 4 The | | events will be as follows: All-comers’ sin- | gles, all-comers’ doubles, ladies’ singles, mixed doubles, ladies’ doubles and conso- lation singles. Besides the silver chal- | lenge cups first and second prizes are | offered for each event.

The hunting grounds are about | @ mile from this station. l WALNUT CREEK—Dove shooting will be P SERRSRRER S S SR e KILL A BEAR WITHIN SIGHT OF A HOTEL Bruin Strolls Down From Mountain Haunts for Food. Skin Is Presented to a Merchant of This City. UESTS at Shasta Springs did not indulge in moonlight strolls during the recent moonlight nights. A brown bear weighing 500 pounds wandered to within a quarter of a mila of the hotel in search of food. Instead of finding this he met Joe Axtell and Mr. Sullivan, each armed with rifles. Both fired at him at the same time and Bruin tumbled over in his tracks dead. The guests thought there were more in_the vicinity, but none have appeared to date. Two wounds were found on Mr. Bear, either of which would have caused death. The skin was carefully removed and was presented to Andrew Grant of this city. The bear was a splendid specimen. The carcass was hung in a dry, cool place and the guests of the hotel had a feast when the meat was pronounced in proper condition for cooking. B e Chadwick Is on Trial. Ernest Moore Chadwick, who had a skyrocket career on the Pacific' Coast as “Sir Harry Westwood Cooper,” and was finally sentenced to ten years in San Quentin for forgery, was on trial in Judge "Cook's court vesterday on the charge of perjury, alléged to have been committed in a former_ trial. The testimony yesterday consisted en- tirely of reading the transcript of the evi- dence at the former trial. A formal ob- jection against admitting the testimony of Norinne Schneider, whom Chadwick married at Crockett, was overruled by the Judge. SRR PR s, Suspected Embezzler Located. Chief of Police Wittman has notified the officers of the Butchers’ Union that he has located Adolph Rozinger, formeri; treasurer of the union, and if they wis] to make a complaint against him he will be taken into custody. .About eight months ago it was reported to the police that Rozinger had left the city after em- bezzling $1350 belonging to the Butchers' Union.

UTHORITIES on rowing are unani- mous in saying it is many years since any sculler on this coast developed the speed in a racing shell shown by Alex Pape, the present amateur - champion. The blonde sculler depends more on his strength than on his style to get pace out of his frail craft. His style is, if any- thing, awkward and scratchy, but he wins his races in an impressive manner. That is all that is required of any athlete. ‘What he could do with the finished sculler of the East is a question. Pape not only shines as a racing man, but s also a clever trick oarsman. Noth- ing more unstable in the water than a racing shell can well be imagined. It re- quires’ the nicest balance to keep its high- 1y polished underbody in the water. Pape has solved the question of balance and performs many gymnastic feats in his frall craft. One of these, a hand stand, one of many tricks. performed by the champlon. Pape {8 a member of the Olympic Club, also of the Dolphin Boating and Swim- ming Club. He is an all around athlete, being a swimmer, boxer, wrestler and also a photographer. In addition to taking part in races, Pape has done much to advance -shell racing. He owns the lightest Ef?fil‘on the 'bay, coaches aspiring. amateurs and on sev- eral occasions has offered prizes for com- petition, George Eckhardt of Stockton is work- ing cn a regatta for September 9. He has not done much in the matter during the gast week, owing to the interest shown y_the townspeople in the Gans-Turner fight.” In order to stimulate rowing, two :::::! have been arranged between home is shown In the illustration.

ROM the Truckee River and from the various resorts in the mountains come reports from the fly fishermen of good sport. Anglers recently re-| turned from the Truckee report as | the best -flies, the red spinner; gray hackle, yellow body; professor and Kam- lopp. In the daytime the small hooks, Nos. 12 and 14, are the most successful, while in the evening a No. 10 may be used. George Haas, T. Rothschild and C. W. Coburn have been fishing at Verdi. Here the trout are taking the spinner more freely than any other lure. Messrs. Rothschild and Coburn made the pil- grimage to Pyramid Lake and were amply rewarded for their long journey. They caught sixteén big fish, the smallest weighing three pounds. Walter Burlingame left for the Truckee on Monday. ’ A. M. Cummings has returned from his trip into the mountains. He found the fishing good in all directions. 0. W. Jackson and a friend fished San Leandro Bay and Alameda canal last Sunday for striped bass, but secured none. Sid Hall, J. Lynch, F. Staples and W. Ashcroft trolled the estuary without re- sult. G. H. Taubles and J. H. Wolf fished the headwaters of the Garcie, above the falls, last week and secured all the trout they desired. The fish were fine and fat, aver- aging from eight to ten inches. From fifty to seventy-five made a good basket. C. F. Precht fished Paper Mill Creek, from Tocoloma to Point Reyes, and se- cured but two good fish. Mr. Miller whipped the Lagunitas from the Little Carson to Camp Taylor and se- cured only three fish worth taking. Messrs. .Lowe and James caught 110 :"fi"' recently on Castle Creek, near Cas- ella. C. G. Perkins, cashier of the Custom- house, leaves next week to enjoy the great fishing at Big Meadows. ‘The members of the San Francisco Fly- casting Club are perfecting their arrange- ments for . entertaining brothers of the angle whom they expect from the East. In addition to being entertained here, the sportsmen will be escorted to the streams where fishing is at its best. —_— e - In the Divorce Court. Divorces ‘were granted yesterday to B. M. Chapin_from Isabel Chapin for de- sertion, Kate Brockman from H. Brock- man for neglect, Margierite Brammertz'| | pens to him and he is compelled to take from Richard Brammertz for failure to -provide and Eli P. Dodson from Frances P. Dodson for desertion. Anna Scherlin filed ‘a -suit for divorce against Abel Scherlin: for desertion. MORLEY’S TEAM IS HOT AFTER PONIES’ PLACE Many Fans Think Schmidt Is Throwing His Arm Out of Gear. Mike Fisher Is Determined to Oust Householder From League. y HE Angels are beginning to awaken from their long slumber and once more show signs of really jumping into the fight in earnest. The Po- nies are just about tled with them for second honors and the winner of the pres- ent series will have the pleasure of being second to Oakland in the running. This is where all the interest is cen- tered at present. No club can approach Oakland for the time being and the sole function which the Senators can perform is to act as a stumbling block to one or more of the teams. The long predicted ride on the toboggan which the wise ones predicted for Oakland has not begun yet, and until some of the others can beat them a few series they will con- tinue to be the paraders in the long and tedious run for the pennant. Mike Fisher is still hot on the trail of Eddie Householder and declares he will get the Angel fielder before many moons. A meeting will be called shortly and Fisher claims to have the best possible evidence to show that Householder acted badly while in Sacramento three weeks ago. . If Fisher can prove his assertions the directors of the league should black- list Householder without delay. He has always been a disturbing element here. Every one will admit that Householder is a great player, but this neither war- rants his perverse actions mor his inso- lence to respectable people whenever he takes the notion. It will undoubtedly be a hard matter to fill his place on the Los| Angeles team, but the league will be bet- ter off when he is gone. Fisher is also angry at the way he was| treated in Los Angeles. He claims the fans would all get hold of cushions and throw them on_the fleld in an effort to disconcert the Senatorial tossers. Fisher cialms that with any kind of a square deal he would have won four out of the five games played in the south. The pitchers are all getting wise to «“Tacks” Parrott's style of batting. They hand “Tacks” a varlety he seems un- able to hit. “Tacks” has fallen off in hl!; big batting average until he is hitting| at an even .30 clip. McCreedie contin- ues to wallop the leather and leads the league with an average of .332. A large number of the steady fans who follow "the game closely declare Pitcher Schmidt is throwing his arm out. They say Schmidt is using so many curves that he is constantly straining his arm and will soon be all in. Schmidt is certainly curving the ball in a marvelous manner and using terrific speed. Whether the talk about his injuring his arm is true or not remains to be seen. At all events, | Schmidt is apparently twirling holes| through all the other hurlers in this| league. | The chief weakness shown by Thomas of Sacramento is his fear of threcwing the ball to bases. In last Wed- nesday’'s game he had any number of| chances to get Oakland players off ths bags, but never wanted to toss the ball around. On one occasion, Dunleavy made a wild dash and stole second while Thom- as held the sphere. Every time Jack Walters gets into the game with the true spirit something hap- young | to the bench for a while. He was just| beginning to hit the ball with a venge-| | The ance after coming back from his long iliress and now he is laid up again. CHAMPION ALEX PAPE OUTCLASSES SCULLERS ON THIS COAST < WATERLOO CUP MAY BE RUN AT UNION PARK Coursing Organization of This City Will Bid for Event. Heat Puts a Temporary Stop to the Sport in Los Angeles. IOURSING men of the Middle West are deep in the subject of the Amer- ican Waterloo, discussing it in all its phases. For a time it seemed Sherman, Tex., would secure it this year, but there are other bidders in the fleld. The trio of wealthy sportsmen, Craw- ford, Orthwein and Bratton, who are coursing enthusiasts, have apparently set their hearts on the big event. They would run it on the infield of the Del Mar race course. It is also understood Union Coursing Park will bid for it. The latter, under ordinary conditions, could outbid any cther locality owing to the advanced state of the sport here. Only the St. Louls people could outbid them and they couid not expect to get their money back, mere- ly wanting the classic event to help the sport. Bids will be received by L. F. Bartels. of Denver, chairman of the Waterloo cup committee. The longest course in years was seen at Union Park last Sunday. Golden Gar- ter, always\ unfortunate in this respect, met Cascade. They ran for four minutes and thirty seconds. At the expiration of two minutes a rellef dog was released, but he could not break down the fast and same little hare. In succession four dogs were sent to relief of the first pair. They finally killed the hare. Dr. John J. Gaynor of Eureka has bought the imported dog Dudley Diamond from R. B. Kay. The dog is by Fabulous Fortune-Nordica, ona of the best blood lines in England. He has shown no form in competition here, but may prove & snuc- cess in the stud. Willilam McCaffrey has some of the Orthwein dogs, from St. Louls, in the run- ning this week. George Nethercott of Sacramento has sent his kennel here. The greyhounds will be trained by F. Lagomrasino. Among the number are Red Rock and Hickory Dick, besides the Emin Pasha-Little ‘Wonder youngsters listed in the futurity. Tommy “Fitz,” the veteran trainer from Merced, is in town with a string of Fu- turity candidates belonging to T. J. Me- Inérney and Tommy Hall. He will train them here. The present season at Los Angeles will close to-morrow, when a sixty-four dog stake will be run, with the added money greatly Increased. Coursing will not be resumed until September, as the weather is too hot now to permit the dogs run- ning with any degree of safety. Many of the kennels will be sent to this city at once. The coursing will commence at Union Park this afternoon upon the arrival of the 1 o’clock train. The reserve stake will be run to conclusion to-day, together with one round of the class reserve. For to-morrow the special stake will be the attraction. The dogs beaten in the first round will meet in a consolation event. remaining rounds of the class re- serve will complete the card. The likely winners look to be: Special stake—Roy Hughle, Vandal, Belle Free, Little Sister, Royal Friend, Rural Artist, Acolus, Prompto, Meirose Lad, Wedgewood, Tyrone Prince, Merrimac, Traies Boy, Pale Alto, Royal Archer and Yellowtail. Class reserve—Royal Alllance, Algy McDon- ald, Blackhawk, Crockett Hill, May Morning, Rich Argosy, Hot Slugs, White Hat, High- steprer, Charming Thought, Gold Ore, Lady Nellie, Gold Hill, Honest John, Shadow and Fenil. Reserve stake—Piker, Freestone, Harvey M, Rienzl, Sly Lad, Twirler, Gold Bells and Black Cloud. s
