FLEET HOUNDS WILL COMPETE FOR BIG STAKES Jobn Grace Challenge Cup Second in Value to the Burns Handicap. Miss May ‘Sutton Is to Play | Crack Greyhounds of the East in the National Cham- p’onship. ‘ 'HE tennis cracks are resting after their hard work in the recent cham- pionship tournament. The meet held at San Rafael eclipsed anything of | the kind ever held on the coast. The only regrettable feature was the in- | ability of Champion Whitney to defend his title. A match between Whitney and Freeman would have been interesting. Be- fore the tournament few thought Free man would have a chance with Whitney, but many are of the opinion he would stand an excellent chance of beating Whitney. The game of the present cham- | 1 is much more effective than it looks. s the ball exceedingly hard and is te and steady. The Suttons showed great improvement over their“last year's form. Miss May Buttorn is e: y in a class by herself. She will go East next year to play for the championship of the United “States. Her chances of winning are considered good. The play of Miss Dobbins was a great surprise to the local enthusiasts. She piays & game similar to the Suttons, but not quite as steady. She will be heard | from next year. The number of crack men players in the South also surprised the local players. The game shown by Way Britton, Overton and Sinsabaugh 3 much better than was expected. The popularity of the Park tennis courts i on the increase. Three new courts be laid out soon. The trees in front of the club house will be removed and the courts laid out in their place. Six more of the clay courts will be bitumin- ized Lefore the first of December. The park players are planning many tourna- ments for the future.

Under the conditions of the stake the majority | of the hounds competing will win this | back. The stake will be limited to six- | ty-four entries, the majority of the nomi- | nations being already taken. The Eastern kennels will be more | strongly represented than in any previous vear.

Palo Alto is again firmly fixed in the affections of the coursing fraternity. He has won his last four starts and thus es- tablishes a world’s record of winning courses. He has won more courses in one year than any other greyhound ever While taking all his s he has won more than any three English_dogs and has suffered more de- eats. The record of wins in England is held by Bab at the Bowster, a total of sixty out of sixty-five starts. Palo Alto has exceeded this greatly. His enforced retirement for some five months owing to a broken leg marred his brilliant rec- ord. He seems now at his best, having Tun himself into condition. He stands out above all the other dogs now in the if he continues in form should have a bright chance for the John Grace cu. George MacDougall has retired from the management of the Butte (Mont.) cours- ing park. It will hereafter be conducted by a club of eight. The officers are: A. W. Jones, president; R. M. Grebal, sec- retary; A. E. Davenport, treasurer; F. Gaines, slip steward; Willlam Nolan, Judge, and George Kellett, slipper. The new club has requested the California Coursing Committee to assume jurisdic- tion over the sport. The latter's work for the advancement of coursing has heretofore been confined to California, and it is not known whether the officials will enter the Montana field. Heretofore the park has not been affiliated with any governing body, although the officlals have lived up to the rules and have main- tained the standard of the sport. They have been hampered in the quality of the hares. These are sent from a distance and usually arrive in bad order. The coursing at Union Park to-day will commence upon the arrival of the 1 o'clock train. The puppy stake and the reserve stake will each be run down twice. The feature of to-morrow’s card will be a special stake with a consolation for dogs beaten in the first round. The remaining courses in the Saturday events will complete the card. The likely win- ners look to be: Special stake—Merrimae, Game Boy, Bonnie Pasha, Charming_ Thought, . Sir Lawrence, Prompto, ter Rocket, Mose, Chicago Boy, Homer Boy, Loyal Lad, Tame Tralee, Tralee Boy, Taploca, Aeolus and Sir Pasha. Reserve stake—Menlo Prince, Lord Goft, Eager, Aeneas, Gold Hill, Molsey, Lady Menlo, Daylight, Belle Rocket, Major Mason, Red Pepper, Lily Wright, Master Whalen, Toronto, Honest John and Reta S, Puppy stake—Roaring _ Avalanche, Kerrs Pippin, Young Johnnie Rex, Renegade Apache, Rustic' Anna, Rubber Ankles, Roving Author, Mald of Potrero, Meddlesome, Ginger Hill and Presidio Boy. _— Demurs to Poker Complaints. When the cases of August Miller and 101 others, charged with visiting a gam- bling place at 8 Fourth street, were called before Judge Conlan yesterday Attorney Riordan demurred to the complaints on the ground that ordinance 1587, under which the men were charged, had been abrogated. The matter will be argued next Wednesday. In_Judge Cabaniss’ court the same procedure in connection with the cases of M. A. Brown and six- icen others arrested at Henry Hansen's, 777 Market street, was gone through. —_———— Tear Down Condemned Buildings. The officials of the Health Board yes- terday began the work of tearing down buildings condemned as unsafe. The nec- essary apparatus was borrowed from the Fire Department, and the ‘houses at 18 Willow avenue and 428 Clementina street ‘were soon laid low. 3 ‘ cours TENNIS ENTHUSIAS <+ TS SWING ONMAN i SAN FRANCISCO - TARS TO RACE TO SAUSALITO California Yachts Will B: Towed to Moorings in Tidal Canal. Corinthian Fleet to Cruise to Point San Pablo ‘This Evening. THE fleet of San Francisco Yacht Club will cruise to Vallejo this.even- ing, the tide, which is high at 8:28 p. m. at Fort Point, serving well for the run up to the navy yard. Yacht own- ers are requested to leave Sausalito for Vallejo at 3 p. m. To-morrow the yachts will race down from Vallejo to Sausalito, starting at 11 a. m. on signal from the flagship Thetis. The starting line will be an 1maginaq line drawn from the float of the Vallejo Yacht and Boat Club to the nearest point | on the Mare Island shore, and yachts will | be allowed fifteen minutes within which to cross it, the time of each boat being taken from the shore. The finish will be across an imaginary line drawn from the mainmast of the schooner Rover to the clubhouse wharf at Sausalito, the schooner to be left on the starboard hand. An arbitrary handicap has been as- signed to each yacht, the schooner Lur- line being the standard boat. In deter- mining the time, the allowance of each yacht will be deducted from its actual sailing time, as follows: The sloops Alice, C Anita and Violet, 1 hour 45 Tinutes; the sloop Dewey, 1 frour 3) min- utes; the yawls Phyllis, Royal and Wave, and the sloops Juanita, Surprise, Halcy- on, Cygnus, 1 hour 15 minutes; the sloop Thetls, 50 minutes; the sloop Amigo, minutés; the sloop Aeolus, 30 minutes; the sloops Queen and Rover, 25- minutes; the sloop Challenger, 10 minutes; the wayl Tramontana and the schooners Ramona and Chispa, 5 minutes.

The yacht owners of the San Francisco club, in common with all the other aquatic organizations of the bay, received an invitation from the aquatic commit- tee of the Alameda celebration to send o ALAMEDA ISLE AWAITS GRAND AQUATIC SHOW Oarsmen to Appear in Guise of Great Historical Characters. University of California to Train a Crew for Eight-Oar. VER on the island of Alameda noth- ing is being talked of among the oarsmen but the aquatic carnival in celebration of the opening of the tidal canal. Oarsmen, yachtsmen, canoe- ists and landsmen are bending all their energies to make the aquatic display the most notable ever seen in Alameda County. Charles Stewart, of Oakland Canoe Club, will be grand marshal of the aquat- ic procession, and the part of King Nep- tune will be taken by W. B. Hinchman, the well-known secretary of the Alameda Boating Club. The marine parade will ba divided Into five sections, eath of which will be in charge of a marshal in a launch. H. G. Hinckley of Oakland Cance Club will be marshal of the first dlvision, which will consist of a float representing Balboa discovering the Pacific coast and the island of Alameda, and of 1au'ncne_s towing sloops, ships’ boats and yawls. The second division will be in command of C. D. Bates Jr. of Columbfa Rowing Club, and will consist of a float repre- senting Christopher Columbus and party on board the ship Santa Maria, and of Jaunches towing sloops and small boats, The third division will be under the com- mand of Carl Foard of California Yacht Club as marshal, and will consist of a float showing Father Junipero Serra and nineteen monks landing on the Pacific coast, and of launches and small boats. The part of Junipero Serra will be taken by E. T. Crandall, the well-known sing- er, and the monks will be selected for heir good voices. The fourth division ill be under the command of George H. Miller of Alameda Boating Club, mar- shal, and_will consist of a float showing George Washington Crossing the Dela- ware, and of launches and small boats.

They are the possible exclu- glon of Captain Albertson from playing this season owing to his lateness in reg- istering for college and the definite ap- pearance of ‘“Locomotive” Smith, the famous halfback, upon the fleld as a can- didate for his old position behind the line. Much depends upon the decision of Pro- feesor G. C. Edwards, chairman of the athletic committee of the faculty. With him lies the question of whether or not aptain Albertson will be reinstated as an eligible for the team, after his formal disqualification by the executive commit- tee for his non-appearance for registra- tion in college, With these two indefinite factors decid- ed the experts who are watching the team will have the opportunity to sise up the results of this week's radical changes. “Albertson's absence from the lina would leave a serious hole to fill. He | is a fierce player and a strong man on the defense, which made his end of the line particularly stanch. ‘With the tuckle formerly filled by Hansen also open - at the beginning of the season’s practice, the problem controntlni fiie coaches would be an exceedingly difficult one. But the return of Smith to the game would offset the loss of Albertson. It ‘was the opinion of Coach Garret Cochran and afterwards Kelley that Smith was a likely candidate for any of the crack teams of the big Eastern colleges. Of- fensive play is his strong point and he is generally conceded to be the surest greund gainer this coast has ever seen. ‘With the first practice game with the Reliance team only two weeks off, the varsity team will have to do some severe work to be in any kind of shape. So far e little has been done in the way of actual team work, most of the practice being de- voted to_ tackling, running with the ball and handling punts. Coaches. W hipple and Womble have de- voted a large part of their attention to instructing the various elements of the team in playing together. The tackles and the ends have been instructed in “boxing” thelr opponents and the backs have been put through training in back- ing up _the line and interfering for a run- ner. With next week, signal practice will be introduced and regular line up against the second eleven will also be in- roduced. The personnel of the varsity is grad- ually taking shape. Stroud seems a fix- ture for center, with Stow and Overall, the guards of last year, in_their old po- sitions. For the position of right tackle, now vacant, Demerritt, "05; Howard, '05, and Hartline, '04, have equal chances, Hudson has right end all his own, and for left end Clark, a 1%-pound man from }he East, looms up as a strong possibil- ty. - Johuny More seems a fixture at quarter. Smith and Mini, the light-weight left balf of last year's team, make the posi- tions at half certain. For fuilback, Sher- man and Whippel, two of last year's substitutes who went into the game in the places of Womble and Mini, are hav- ing an even contest. High hopes are being set upon the freshman team for this year. The spirit which is in thetr work bids fair to carry the baby team to victory after the long list of defeats which have marked the freshman games since ‘02 were freshmen. They will have an opportunity to test themselves shortly in a series of gam arranged for them with the high schools and academies around the bay. Most of the positions on the team are still open property. Solinskey, who was gutung up a good game at guarter, split is ear drum and had to withdraw from the game for good. McCoy of Berkeley High School seems to have a cinch on center. Bosbyshell of Belmont is putting up a strong fight for half against Coombs. Hatch at tackle and Coogan at end are both putting up good football. You Shouldn’t, But if you do play poker we have the cards and chips at lowest prices.

Hooper in the final round of the contest for the club trophy, which carries with it the men’s match play championship of e club. On Admission day Carlton Curtis defeated D. B. Skinner in the semi-final round 1 up in a remarkably close match, while E. J. Hooper proved victorious over R. J. Davis, 2 up, 1 to play. The final round of the competition for the women's cup, which carries with it the match play championship of the club for women, was reached on Admission day. Mrs. George Heazleton 'defeuted Mrs. Frank 8. Johnson, 3 up, 2 to play, in an eighteen-hole match. Next Saturday is an open date on the brogramme of the San Rafael Golf Club.

Only three players came uj from that part of the State—C. E. Mau of Riverside Polo and Golf Club, and J. W. Wilson and Raymond Hornby of Red- lands Country Club. All three did welil, C. E. Maud taking second place in the open championship, making the second lowest gross score in the men’s amateur handi- cap on the last day of the meeting and establishing a record of 31 for the nine holes of the Del Monte course. In the contest for the Del Monte cup he was beaten by R. L. Macleay of Portland, who was_the runner-up for the trophy. J., ‘W.

Not a single member of their yachts over to the tidal canal. It was at one time thought that the sloops Queen, Thetis, Surprise and Halcyon would go over to Oakland to take part in the celebration, but it seems likely that A. C. Lee’s Surprise will be the only rep- resentative of the San Francisco Yacnt Club. In order to take part in the cele- bration it will be necessary to sail over this evening to Oakland Creek, as it is intended to tow the yachts up to the canal to-morrow and anchor them there. A steam tug will be engaged all morn- ing and part of to-morrew afternoon in towing the yachts of the California Club and such other yachts as may be willing to take part in the carnival. The draw- bridge will be opened promptly at at 3:30 p. m. under the supervision of the War Department of the United States. Yacht owners desiring to have their vessels towed must be ready ' in Oakland Creek at the anchorage of the California | Yacht Club not later than 2 p. m. to- morrow. It is expected the whole fleet of the California Yacht Club, as well as some of the Corinthian yachts, will take part, in the celebration. The proposed cruise of the Oakland Creek yachtsmen o Vallejo to-night and the race home in ('l&ulsing rig to-morrow has been called off. As is usually the case, the Corinthians bore off the lion's share of erzes in the annual regatta of the Pacific Interciub Yacht Association on Admission day. the twenty-foot special class Loiterer fouled the windward stakeboat and Alice was not reported as having rounded the mark. The Corinthlan Yacht Club won four out of six drst trophies, the San Francisco Yacht Club one and the Cali- fornia Yacht Club on. —_— CRICKETERS PLAN GAME NOT ON THE SCHEDULE Teams Representing Alameda and San Francisco Counties Will Try Their Strength To-Morrow.
