YACHTSMEN PLAN LONG CRUISES ON COMING HOLIDAYS San Francisco and California Tars Are to Rendezvous at Martinez To - Morrow ext Month to B= Busiest of Season for the Sailors Hailing From Sausalito the coming holidays to make long cruises. The Corinthians will start this afternoon from Tiburon and will cruise up Petaluma Creek as far as Lakeville, where they will be at anchor until Monday, on which day they will sail down to their moorings. The San Francisco and California fleets will rendezvous to-night or early to-morrow morning at Martinez, and will‘cruise in company through Montezuma Slough, re- turning on Sunday night to Vallejo and sailing down to Sausalito and Oakland Creek on Monday. Next month will be a strenuous one for the active members of the San Francisco Yacht Club. On Monday, September 1, the yachtsmen will sail down from Val- lejo to Sausalito after the trip through YACHTSMEN will avail themselves of | Montezuma Slough. On September 7 the | annual regatta will be held over the Chan- nel course. On Tuesday, September 9, some of the yachts will be taking part in e annual regatta of the Pacific Inter- Club Association, while others will be on three-day cruises, On Saturday, Septem- ber 13, the fleet will sail up to Vallejo, and on Sunday, September 14, will race down Sausalito, the yachts receiving time allowances accosding to their racing length. On Saturday evening, September 21, there will be a reception in the club house at Sausalito to the members of the California and Corinthian Yacht Clubs, and on Sunday, September 28, the united fieets will cruise in the channel and along the city front. All three clubs were well represented at Paradise Cove last Sunday. Among the Corinthian boats were the sloops Har- poon, Emma, Aeoius, Speedwell, Freda and Presto and the sloop Spray, which had just returned from a two weeks' trip up the Sacramento River. During tie | past week the sloop Emma, with “Jack™” Short, J. C. Brickell and Commodore E. | ¥. Sagar on board, has been cruising up the river. H. F. Wakefield’s sea-going schooner yacht Josephine, which has made Sausalito her headquarters lately, has gone on a trip to San Diego. Willard B. Cook of Denver, a member of the Beattle Yacht Club, who spends three months each year on his schoonar Rambler on Puget Sound, has been visit- ing the various yacht club houses arcund Ban Francisco. Rambler is an old boat, having been a well known racer in San Francisco Bay twenty years ago. She has been well cared for and is perfectly sound at the present day. She was built by Matthew Turner of Benicia. A meeting of the directors of California Yacht Ciub was held during the week in the Oakland office of George M. Snhaw. | The yacht owners of Oakland Crcek will take an active pat in the aquatic carni- val in celebration of the opening of the tidal canal. They are already planning ingenious schemes of decoration and illu- mination, The yacht owners of Oakland Creek are suffering from the same nuisaice that has caused so much trouble to the yachts- men of Sausalito. The water of Oakland harbor has lately been covered with the | refuse of petroleum from the large fac- tories on the north shore of the creek, The oil eats through the paint.on the sides of a vessel and makes a band of dirt all round it. Even when painted over it comes out again in a few days. There is a Btate law forbidding manufacturers and others from discharging oil into naviga- ble waters, The yawi Dolphin and the sloop Star- light, both of the Vallejo Yacht and Boat Club, have been anchored off the Califor- ria Yacht Club house during the week, Dolphin - was formerly rigged as a schooner.

The club has | applied to the.Park Commissioners for the construction of a lake to be used specially for model yacht races.

The stake was decided last year at Friend. Three Cal- ifornia-bred dogs started then, but none ‘will start this time.- One hundred and forty-six second payments have been made on this year's event.

After drop- ping those six straight games to the Ponies it was immediately tipped off by the knowing ones that the overdue slump of the leaders had at last be- come a reality and that some one else would have a chance to play a headline turn for a time. The leaders dispelled all this sort of prophecy when their old players again dcnned their uniforms. They played holes through the Ponies once more. The fight remains unchanged, although the season is more than half finished. Much will depend upon the present se- ries of games in the south. ff Oakland can journey into Morley’s own barracks and Wwin a series of games again it seems an unreasonable proposition that they ever can be overtaken. Los Angeles is certainly entitled to sec- ond honors on their showing so far. The southern team has been putting up a choice quality of ball for the past two months_and 'is steadily coming to_the front. However, the Angels really have no license to beat the leaders, for they lack team work, by which the latter gained their standing. Until the southern tossers develop some of this they will not have a chance against Ewing’s stars. Oakland has been several runs behind in many games which they have won, but they always went at it by the hit anf run route. The perfect team work which thex always display works successfully when men are on bases. What a difference when Los Angeles or Frisco have men on the bags! Most of the batsmen try for a home run or some oth- er kind of long drive. Instead of bringing in runs the men are left on the bases, Nordyke's indifferent playing has helped the Ponles lose many a game latefiy He is extremely heavy on the bases. His er- 1ors at first base have nearly all been made off easy chances, and without ex- o(-itlon have all resulted in runs. Nor- dyke has not been hitting any too hard, either. He has fallen off woefully in his work all around. All kinds of amateur pitchers have been mentioned as possibilities for the local team of late, and Nagle is the latest. It is rumored he will be given a chance soon to show how he can mix the pils. Nagle was given a chance by Oakland last sea- son and showed up fairly well for an amateur, Schmidt received his first real drubbing ot the year at the hands of the Angels last Wednesday. He even had to be re- lieved by Hartwell. This is only the third time this year Los Axgeles has won a game from the smiling German. Judge McCreedie ie back in the game end lining 'em out just as of yore. All diamonds and all pitchers look alike to the Judge. The leaders are several points stronger since he began to work again. Mike Fisher says he had a chance to sign Hurlburt but was warned to leave him alone, as he had the reputation of be- ing a disturbing element. Hurlburt will prove a costly investment to Pete Loh- man if he breaks up the winning com- bipation at this stage of the proceedings. With McCreedie in the game again Hurl- burt mlllgrobably do stunts on the bench, Tacks Parrott is becoming a mark for the pitchers. They usualy throw Tacks a bg outeurve, and he always goes after it and usually misses. Tacks is get- ting most of his hits on wide balls that do not come within many feet of the plate, Jack Walters has suffered another re- lapse in Los Angeles. Walters seems con- tinually in hard luck. He {s never good for more than two weeks' playing at a stretch. ———— $25.00 From Kansas City. Or from St. Joseph, Atchison, Omaha, Ft. Worth, Houston or Missourl River points.

Play will commence on the morning of the 1st and wiil end on the afternoon of the 9th, when the cham- pionship singles will be played. Follow- ing is the order of men's events: All- comers’ doubles, Monday, September 1; all-comers’ singles, Tuesday, September 2; consclation tournament on the mornings of tife Sth and 9th. The women's events will be played as follows: All-comers’ women’s singles, Monday, September 1; all-comers’ ‘mixed doubles, Thursday, September 4, and all-comers' women's doubles, Friday, September 5. First and second prizes will be given in each event and there are also three silver challenge C}lps to be defended by last year’s cham- pions, The rules governing the events are as follows: All “matches in women's and mixed doubles will be best two in three sets; challenge match best three in five sets. All sets will be vantage. Play will begin each day at 10 a. m. and any player not on hand when called to play will be defaulted. ~Entries close’ 9 o'clock the evening before the event begins and must be sent to the hotel. The titles to be defended are as follows: Singles—G. F. Whitney; doubles—G, F. and R. N. Whitney; mixed doubles—Miss Miriam Hall and G.'F. Whitney; women’s singles—Miss May Sutton; ~women’s doubles—Miss Violet and Miss May Sut- ton. The men’s tournament committee is composed of W. B. Collier, Harry Routh and Grant Smith. Miss Alice Hoffman and Mrs. L. C. Bozarth will handle the Women's affairs. It is almost a certainty Champion George F. Whitney will not be able to de- fend his titles this year. His health is goor and it will be almost impossible for im. to get into shape to play. In this case there will be no challenge match in three of the events. In the singles, doubles and mixed doubles the winner of the tournament will become the cham- plon. With George Whitney out of the Tunning the men’s events have an open lgolllt- e south will send up Freeman, ell, Britton and several other atrong players, while the north will pin its fait to such players as R. N. Whitney, T. A. Driscoll, W. B. Collier and Grant Smith, Two of the southern players arrived on esday and have been putting in_the week practicing on the California Club ourts. These men are ex-Champion Al- onso Bell and Simpson Sinsabaugh. James Britton, Freeman's partner in doubles, has decided to play in the tour- naments, but the Bouthern California champlons will not play together, as Freeman has joined = forces with Bell. Britton will play with Fritz erton. Archie Way will play with Chet Smith, Hendricks and Sinsabough make another formidable team. The strongest teams from the north will be Smith and McGavin and Colller and 'Crowell. Tom Driscoll and R. N. Whitney will in all probability play to- gether in the doubles. Driscoll, who is an ex-champion of the coast, plays a bril. liant game, and with Whitney for a part- ner stands an excellent chance of win- ning the tournament. Word was received during the week that the four Sutton sisters would be on hang and play in the tournaments next 2 3 eek. St o i e, JRKR Wik, i m!

It is not known as {et whether Dris- coll will play in the singles. Should he do so he would stand a Jcod chance of winning. Some of the other cracks of former days will probably rlly next week. The park players will not be strongly represented. The class singles tournament will be to-morrow on the park courts. GRIDIRON- WORK COMMENCES ON BERKELEY OVAL Many Candidates Appear for the Various Elevens to Be Made Up at Once —_— - Practice Will Be Light for a Time to Prevent Possible Injury t> Any Players B suits, the football season at the University of California was form- | ally opened. Next Monday the veterans of last year's team will also put on the harness and the gridiron regime at the university will be in full swing. The first football meeting of the year ‘was held last Monday. For the first time the new material just entering the col- lege met the coaches and trainer and received words of instruction from old- timers at the game. { ‘Ihe young players who appeared on the | fleld, fresh from the honors of the star pesitions on their school teams, were a likely lot. The coaches and trainers were Dleased with the large percentage of Leavy men who have entered the sport. Besides there are men who have made re- cords for themselves on their school teams, such as Middleton of Lowell High schiool, Bosbyshell and Gillis of Belmont, Coogan of Oakland and = Solinsky and Volze of Berkeley. The preliminary training which coach James Whipple "has prescribed for the first week or so of practice will consist in light punting by the men who are try- ing out for backs, running down on punts, passing the ball and catching kicks. The raw men will be divided into squads ac- cording to the positions for which they are trying, and for several days nothing more will be done except to give these squads elementary lessons in football under the guidance of the coaches and old members of the team. The firgt weeks of the season will see the gradBial outlining of the eleven as it is likely to appear on the day of the big game. There are so many places of uncartn.lntg yet, however, that few posi- tlons on the team are certain. A severs setback to the hapes of the coaches has already been experienced. Gendotti, the plucky center of last season’s victorious eleven, has definitely announced that ob- iecuon on the part of his parents would eep him out of the game this year. The withdrawal of Gendotti leaves an- other hole in the line and breaks up the trio at center, of which Stow and Overall are the other two members, which proved such a strong point in the eleven last vear. 3 Therg has been talk among the football the possibilities of Overall being ERKELEY, Aug, 20.—With the ap- pearance on the field to-day of six- ty-five husky freshmen in padded men o moved from guard back to take the posi- tlon left vacant by Duden at full back. s place could be filled by either Heén- dricks or Stroud, who showed up well last season as substitutes for the posi- tion, Overall's punting propensities and strength at bucking the line would make him a formidable man behind the line. This change would Put More in at quar- ter, where he played last year, and leave Harry Hudson on one of the ends, where he is sadly needed. 'm% much discussed question of where the big game will be held will be defi- nitely decided on Saturday, when Man- agers Decoto and-Edwards will hcld a final conference on the subject in San Francisco.

But of late years; with the.ex¢eption ot the visit of the Stocktop barge crew to the Lake Merritt regatta on July 4, there has been litfle intercourse between the rowing men of the Tivers and of the | bay. Some .of the San Francisco oars- men will go to Stockton next month to take part in the Admission day regatta there. The Dolphin junior barge crew will consist of T. Harris, bow; W. Har-| ris, No. 2; T. Swedlund, No. 3, and T. R. Dixon, stroke. It is possible the Olympic Boat Club may also send a barge crew to the regatta. The Alameda oarsmen are devoting their attention to the aquatic carnival to Dbe held on the Oakland Creek next month in celebration of the opening of the tidal canal. The whole fleet of the Alameda Boating Club will take part in the aquatic procession, the boats being mar- | shaled in three or four divisions off the club float before being towed up the creek. Besides the rowboats there will be floats representing Washington cross- ing the Delaware, Columbus discovering Alameda island and similar scenes. The aquatie carnival bids fair to be a brilliant display, as all the clubs and organizations in Alameda are doing their utmost for it. The TUnited States torpedo-destroyer Farragut will be anchored in the canal between the two bridges and will turn her searchlights on the other craft. She will also be illuminated with electric lights. The carnival will extend over three nights. On Monday, September 15, there will be a land parade; on Tues- day, September 16, there will be an open- air concert: and on Wednesday, Septem- | ber 17, the aquatic carnival. One hundrea and fifty arc lights with colored globes will illuminate the shores of the canal. The members of the Alameda Boating Club are preparing a circus under the | management of E. J. Smith of Reliance | Athletic Club, the admission fee to the | show being ex’Fecled to realize a consid- erable sum. The sum of 3350 has been turned over to the aguatic committee for expenses. Of this, $100 has been set aside for prizes for the best decorated and best illuminated boats. All boat-owners, whether attached to any club or not, are invited to take part in the procession and compete for the prizes. The large boats of California Yacht Club will sail or be towed up the creek on Sunday, September 14, and will be an. chored in the canal. Small yachts and rowboats will be towed up in’ strings on Wednesday night. Any boat decorated with Chinese or Japanese lanterns will be towed by one of the launches. By day | the yachts will be decorated with flags, and at night with lanterns. There will also be fireworks and red fire. The races in outrigged skiffs betwee: F: W. Ayers of Alameda Boating Clul and George Baker of Dolphin Club, and | between E. B. Therning of Alameda Boat- | ing Club and F. J. Club have been postponed. They will take place on Sunday, September 2. The races will be over a course of one and a half miles, with a turn, and will prob- ably begin and end in front of the Ala. meda boathouse. Several members of the Olympic Boat Club have adopted canoeing, there being about half a dozen cances In the boat- house. Short trials of speed are held off | the clubhouse. . The barge crew of the | Olympic Club, which gained its place in the intermediate class by winning ths barge race at the recent Ariel regatta at-| El Campo, is practicing for :he tockton regatta. Last Bglday two of the large barges of the Soufi End Rowing Club took out large parties along the water front to the Union Iron Works. Captain Ed_Scully, Alexander McKerron, Judge A. J. PFritz and L, Barry last Sunday swam from the Union Iron Works around Mission Rock to the South End boathouse. They were accompanied by several boats.

Chesebrough, B and the Men’s by Macleay T to take place on the links of San Rafael Golf Club on Monday, Sep- tember 1. As notice of the events has not been duly posted on the bulletin board of the club, and as some weil-known golf- ers are likely to be absent, it is expected the qualifying rounds will be postponed. Last Saturday was the clésing day of the second annual meeting at Del Monte of the Pacific Coast Golf -Association. Though there were not so many merely “society people” present as during the sports’ week in previous years at Del Monte, the meet was much enjoyed. In- deed, from a golfer’s point of view, it was the pleasantest meeting ever heid in this part of California. The event set down or the closing day of the meet was an eighteen-hole match between teams rep- 1esenting Northern and Southern Cali- fornia. As enough players were not pres- ent from the southern part of the State to make up a team, the contest was abandoned. The trophy was won last year by the team representing Southern California and this year the northern team might have claimed it by default. As the northerners did not wish to do this, the cup was handed over to its donor, J. W. Byrne, past president of the Pacific Coast Golf Association, and will be in his cus- tocy until it is again competed for. In order to fill in the gap made by the fa'l- ing through of the team match, it was arranged to hold two handicap competi- {ions, “one for each sex, over thirty-six ioles. ‘The amateur handicap for men was won by R. L. Macleay of Portland, Qregon, who played from scratch; C. E. Maud of Riverside, also scratch, being second. The lagies’ handicap was specially inter- esting, inasmuch as it brought together: Mrs. R. Gilman Brown and Miss Ruth Underhill, both playing from scratch. Tha handicap was won by Miss Edith Chese- brough, runner-up for the amateur eham- plonship for women, with a score of 151 less 12-169; Mrs. R. G. Brown being sec- ond with a gross and net score of 170. Mrs. R. G. Brown's gross seore was eleven strokes better than Miss Edith Chesebrough’s, and twenty strokes better than Miss Underhill's. The winner of the handicap played consistently good golf, making three rounds in 45 each and the fourth round in 46. In the match play, Mrs. Brown would have béaten Miss Un- derhill 10 up on the 36 holes. The full scores are given in the table: OPEN HANDICAP FOR WOMEN AT DEL MONTE. 1 HE qualifying rounds for the club trophy, the women’s cup and the “second eight” prize are scheduled COMPETITORS. |8 2T Miss Edith Chasel 48|45/15/46(181/12] 160 Mrs. R.

Folger gained two holes in the first round, main. giln:‘ii his lead and in the second roun mgre holes, winning 4 up. Mr. Folger played a consist- ently good' game, keeping - his ‘nerve and steadiness. His game was well Suited to the Del Monts . course, “where the greens are not protected by ob- stacles and the ground is hard at this season. The winner made long running approaches, using a heavy ':umlmlm- headed putter for strokes of 100 feet or more. C. B.
