The hospitality and the sportsnfanship of the St. Louis men are proverbial, and those who attend may feel assured of good treatment. At a meeting of the directors of Union Park last night it was decided to grant Judge John Grace a leave of absence in November. This will enable him to ap- pear in the saddle during the Waterloo meeting at St. Lo This action was teken at the ul L request of the na- tional committee ving in charge the running of the big Stake. G. Lacy Crawford, a millionaire sports- man of 8t. Louis, has signified his inten- tion of visiting this coast in October to witness the running for the John Grace challenge cup. Mr. Crawford is a cours- enthusiast and has owned many good rhou: He is a sportsman of the best type, being interested in all the high class sports and pastimes. Al Harder of Sacramento is making a name for himself as a successful condi- tioner of greyhounds. He handled Sac- ramento Boy when he won the John Grace challenge cup. He also trained Po- catelli and Belle Free, the winner and runner_up respectively in the Futurity. The Junior Champlon stake, which will be run at Union Coursing Park on the Zith and 28th insts., will practically be a re-running of the Futurity. It is expect- ed to artract the entries of Pocatell Belle Free, New Home Boy, Rubber Ankles, Conroy, Consort, Matters Much, Niobe, Pepper Hill, Maid o' the Glen, Menlo_Prince, Flora Belle, Silver Heels, Tillle R, Valid, Viking, Miranda, Twister, Mickey Free, Spencer and Can’t Tell, In addition A.

This question will be decided next we when the cracks from the north meet the Scuthern California champions in the final matches. In doubles the north will | pin its faith to Grant Smith and Drum- mond Me( in, while the south will representcd Bell and Freeman. In sin- gles it will again be the north versus the outh, with the odds slightly in favor of the latter. There is but one southern man left in the singles, while there arc two from the north. The Whitneys have swept everything before them tfor the last ten years,. but will probably never again play in a cham- pionship match. George is physically dis- abled, whiie Bob has lost his former speed. As was expected, the Sutton sisters met no opposition. It is a pity there are not some lady players from the north Who could at least give them a, game. Al the sisters have improved their games | in the past year, but the most marked improvement s in Miss May's playing. The championship tournaments this year have been the most successful ever held on the coast. The only regrettable fea- ture is that Champion Whitney will not be present to defend his title. Gallant Sailor Rewarded. For his bravery in rescuing the crew of the British ship Frankenstein, which vessel was abandoned in the North Pa- cific Ocean on April 3 of this year, Cap- tain T. B. Nelson, formerly of the Amer- jcan schooner H. C. Wright, was pre- sented, yesterday in the office of the Col- lector of the Port with a fine pair of binocular glasses by Collector Stratton.

The aquatic committee desires to an- nounce that positively no excursion boats will be permitted within the tidal canal on the night of the 17th inst., when the great procession of illuminated craft takes | place. . The committee has authority from the | War Office for the assertion that the tidal canal is not open for navigation on that nizht. The only craft that will be admit- Ited are the yachtg, which will be drawn | up In 1me on each side of the canal, and Wwhich will be anchored in their positions, and the launches towing strings of boats decorated and illuminated in a manner satisfactory. to the committee. The boats | will be under the supervision: of the mar- shal. The committee will have the ser- vices of a sufficlent number of patrolmen both on shore and on the water of the canal to maintain order and secure obedi- ence to the regulations. For the purpose of encouraging and re- warding the decoration and illumination of the various craft that will take part in the celebration prizes will be awarded for the best decorated yachts, launches and small boats. First prize for yachts, trophy, value $25; second prize for yachts, trophy, value® $15; first prize for small boats, a trophy valued at $17 50; second prize, a trophy valued at $7 50; first prize for launches, a trophy valued at $22 50; second prize, a trophy valued at $17 50, The trophies will be selected and pur- chased by Allen M. Clay of the Caiifornia Yacht Club and H. M. Landsbe:ger of the Encinal Yacht Club. Any owner of a boat, whether attached to any club or not, may enter the competition. Last S8unday many members of the Ala- meda Boating Club took trips in the boats or swam in the tidal ¢anal, the opening of which has tended to clear the water. It has also cohsiderably increased the speed of the tide In Oakland Creek, eapecfally on the ebb. The next rowing event in Oakland Creek will be the match races be- tween Fred W. Ayres of Alameda Boating Club and George Baker of Dolphin Boat- ing Club, and between E. B. Thoming of Alameda and F. J. Sherry of Dolphins, The races will take place on the 28th inst.

From now on until the big game the football men will appear every night for practice and the frocess of rounding a team into shape can be said to have begun In earnest. When the vaysity squad of last year's victorious season appeared on the fleld several absences were notable. Womble, the terror of four years for the cardinal, was gone. Gendottl, the plueky little center; Hansen at right tackle, Starr at left énd and Duden at full, men who put up strong games at their respective posi- tions, were not on the field again. With a strong nucleus of seven out of last season’s eleven to begin work with, California’s prospects at the present time seem brighter thdn at any. beginning of former ‘seasons. With the exception of the positions at end, there are two or more substitutes for every position who proved likely men in practice last year. "There is still the indefinite quality of the frgshmen class to be developed. The coaches, Whipple and Womble, started their men in at easy work and will continue to bredk them in gradually until the men get hardened and the | grounds are gone over more thoroughly and put in a softer condition. Next week when the field has been put into softer condition the men will be divided into squads and will practice fall- ing on the ball and tackiing runners. The tackling bag will be rigged up and all candidates will be put through a hard coursé in the fundamentals of bringing a runner to earth. Stroud, the 05 man who got into the game last & ar when Overall was ruled off the fleld, i§ being tried out to fill the place left vacant by Gendotti at center. He is a much heavier man than Gendotti, tipping the scales at 185 pounds when in training, but he is not so active as was the former center. For the tackle left vacant by Hansen, Cook, '03, looms up as a strong possibility. He plays a hard, conscientious game and should have a strong show for the position. For the vacant position of end, Brown, the sgrimer, has appeared and at present is the only likely candidate. Among the fresnmen who have appeared on the field tHere is a good deal of promising material and the coaches are counting upon developing some possible varsity material out of the class. At present the chance of a strong freshman team looks promising, as there are a large number of hard players among the youngsters. They are béing given the same training as the varsity at present, but will be sent ahead faster to be in trim for the game with Stanford at the end of next month. Sabin, an Exeter man, shows up strong- ly as an end. Middleton, formerly t{g heady player on Lowell High School, is mal a strong play for tackie on the varsity second eleven, for he is barred from playing with the freshmen. At L 4 PENNANT RACE STILL REMAINS AT STANDSTILL| “Kid” Mohler Is Hitting a| 265 Clip and Now Ranks With the Star Batters | Pete Lohman’s Bad Finger | Is Liable to Cripple the Leaders Very Seriously T dces not appear from present in dications that the next few weeks of | play will develop any change in the | standing of the four clubs in the pen- | nant race of the California Baseball League. Oakland will undoubtedly fatten its per- centage at the expense of Mike Fisher's team, while Los Angeles is almost cer- tain to take at least three out of five games from the Ponies in the south. Oakland and San Francisco will indulge in eight games here next week, while Los Angeles will endeavor to entertain the Senators with six little arguments in the land of sunshine. The Senators will have | a slim chance against Morley’s talent, while Oakland seems to have an advant- age over the locals. Los Angeles appears to have struck its real winning gait. The team is playing better than at any other time this sea- son. They will be dangerously near the .600 mark if the present gait is main- tained for two weeks more and thenm it remains to be seen what they can do | when away from home. “Kid” Mohler was never rated as a slugger, but at present he is doing the | sieadiest hitting of any man in the league. Mohler's present average is .265. He ranks among the first twelve batters o the league and may be soon hitting at 2 e fons think a comparison of the hitting of Nordyke and Mohler would | sound ridiculous, but nevertheless the | midget second baseman outbats the famed slugger of the Pony troop about twenty points. “Mur:’eyp has evidently secured a batter of the prize class in Dillon. The former | Detroit first baseman is hitting them out | at the rate of two and three a game, a | little better than Bifll Hanlon used to do. | Unglaub of Sacramento is played in ev- | ery position but the one he is best suited for. When he first arrived he adorned the second pillow, then he was removed to short, later to right field, and now he is doing a few stunts at first. i As a matter of fact, Unglaub is a third baseman, and is said to be one of the | best in the business. Philadelphia want- ed him for this season, but he had some trouble about a4 contract and decided to cmigrate to California. Fishet should give him a chance at third. Hard luck continues to invade the camp of the Leaders and now the mat- fer has reached a ciimax in the injury of the veteran Pete Lohman. Pete's finger is badly injured. He will probably take a two weeks' vacation on the bench. Lohman is the man who has brought the Leaders up to their high standing, and with him out of the game it will not be the same team at all. Gorton Is a firet-class backstop, but when the ecriti- cal moment arrives, Lohman's quick maneuvers will be sadly missed by the rest of the team. One of the prettiest plays of the was seen on the Oakland diamond in ‘Wednesday's game. Casey was playing a few feet off second when Lohman sig- naled to Schmidt, who turned around and barely caught the runner a foot off the bag. The throw to Mohler was perfect Bnfi Casey was taken entirely off his guard. It Mcrley is fortunate enough to secure the services of “‘Ducky” Holmes, the for- mer Detrojt figider, he should make a strong bid for the flag. Holmes is one of the greatest fielders in the country and always bats in the .300 class. Just at present Holmes' whereabouts is unknown, but it is extremely likely he will drop into Los Angeles any time. He became dissatisfied with Detroit and mysteriously disappeared, but it is known he had been negotiating with the Los An- geles magnate. Frank Shugart's eclipse was a meteoric one. From the proud position of short. stop of the great Chicago White: Sox, he is at the bottom of the list,"stranded and out of/a job in San Francisco, When a ball player commences to descend there is small hope for his future success in the game. St. Rose’s Picnic. The parishioners of St. Rose’s Church are preparing for their annual picniec ana outing which is scheduled to be held at Shell Mound Park September 9. It prome {ses to draw one of the largest crowds that has attended any of the church picnics this season. Many valuable gate and game prizes will be given. @ it @ quarter the fight lies between Gillis of Belmont, Simmonds of St. Mathew’s and. Solineky of Berkeley High School. Stern candidates is one of the most promising for fullback or suan£ ear S TTIT .

It is approximately reckoned at nine miles. The exact position of the | starting line will be determined accord- ing to the conditions prevailing at Sausalito in. the morning. From the starting line off the clubhouse the yachts | will sail to Blossom Rock buoy, leaving it on the starboard hand; thence to the Presidio shoal buoy, leaving it on the starboard hand; thence to and round the | dredger working at Arch Rock, leaving it on the port hand; thence to the elub- bouse, finishing across the starting line. This course has the advantage of being wholly within view of the spectators at the clubhouse and much resembles the old triangular course of San Francisco Yacht Club. In order to make the race as Interest- ing as possible and to cause a close fin- ish, an arbitrary time allowance, based upon performances and speed, has been calculated for each yacht. The tima al- lowance will be given at the start, with the view of bringing the boats close to- gether at the finish. The yacht Violet, the smallest craft in the fleet with the exception of the yawl canoe Rita, will cross the starting line at 10:20 a. ‘m., or as soon thereafter as she can do so. She will be followed by the rest of the fleet at the following times: Sloop Alice and sloop Anita at 10:30 a. m., sioop Dewey 10:36, yawl Wave, sloops Surprise and Haleyon and yawl Royal at I Phylils and sloop Juanita at 1 , sloop Thetis at 10:52, sloop Amigo at 11:04, sloop Aeolus at 11:07, sloop Rover at 11:09, sloop Queen at 11:17, sloop The Challenger at, 11:25, schooner Ramona at 11:2, yawl Tramontana at 11:27, schooner Chispa at 11:28 and schooner Lurline at 11:32. The yacht which crosses the finfshing line first, after having completed the course without violation of any of the rules of yachting or of any of the con- | ditlons of the race, will be the winner. The first, second and third yachts to cross the fintshing line will receive suit- able prizes. The regatta will be under the management of the regatta commit- tee, consisting of Dr. Thomas L. Hill chairman), W. G. Morrow and J. R. avory., The Corinthians have no event sched- uled for to-day or to-morrow, as many of the yacht owners will be getting their boats ready for the seventh annual re- gatta of the Pacific Intercigb Yacht As- sociation on Admission day.® The Califor- nia Yacht Club has on its programme for to-day a ladies’ cruise to Lone Tree Cove, Angel Island, returning to-morrow. Next Saturday the San Francisco and Califor- nia Yacht clubs will cruise to Vallejo, and on Sunday, the 14th inst., the San Fran- cisco fleet will race home, with time al- lowance, to Sausalito, while the Califor- nia yachts will race ' in _cruising rig to, their quarters in Oakland Creek. On Wednesday evening a reception was held at the home of the California Yacht Club on Oakland Creek at which the Wal- lace trophy was presented to J. T. Car- rier, the ownemof the sloop Jessie B. He will hold it till the next annual race for the cup on July 4, 1903. The Vincent cup, presented by Vice Commodore Robert Vincent, was _handed to Allen M. Clay, Whose sloop Pactolus proved the winner in the handicap race on August 10. This trophy became the winner's permanent property. C. E. Clark, owner of the yawl 'ypsie, received a second racing pennant and J. E. Back, owner of the sloop Catherine, a pennant for third place in_the handicap race. John T. Carrier’s sloop Jessie E was the only yacht of the . California Club that made the scheduled cruise through. Mon- tezuma Slough on Labor day. The sloops Queen and Surprise and the yawl Royal of the San Francisco Yacht Club accom- plished the trip. The sloops Pactolus and Catherine and the sch@oner Frances of the California Yacht Club reached Val- leJo. Lee Gale returned on Tuesday in the sloop Secret from a five days’ cruise to Napa City. A. Reubold’s sloop Aloha recentiy cruised . up the Sacramento River as far as_Freeport. The light winds which prevented many of the San Franeisco and Californi-. yachts from getting through Montezuma Slough also stop; the Corinthians from reaching Lakeville during the holl- days. The sloops Truant and Aeolus reached their destination, but the sloop Freda ran so hard on the mud in Peta luma Creek that the owner and erew had to take out a ton or two of balla!‘:‘ before she would float. The sloop Speed- well lay in Paradize Cove last turday night, and on Sunday went out nearly (0 the Heads, where a stiff breeze and heavy sea were encountered. — — Claims She Was Cheated. Emma L. Leonard, who purchased the hair-dressing parlors of Frances E. Sher- man at 406 Sutter street, flled a suit to recover $2500 damages from Sher- man yesterday, alleging that she was damaged to that extent because Miss Sherman misrepresented to her the value of a certain hair dye. She charges also that Miss Sherman violated an agreement not to- engage in the hair-dressing busi- ness in the vicinity of her old stand. —_—————————— Wants New Books for Soldiers.
