10 \/rGrrv7A CARROLL— SANAS SIS I TOrYEY AL EE VG, ‘PO TEL cvT T7E \IIYVER NOTED HOUNDS WILL MEET IN SPECIAL STAKE Sacramento Boy and Roman Athlete Drawn Together To-Morrow in First Round Union Park Officials End the Sport at an Earlier Hour Than Heretofore HE sport at Union Coursing Park this week has assumed a *‘classy” look owing to the fact that five of the crack greyhounds which repre- gented this State in the American Water- loo at St. Louis are in the running. The fortunes of the draw for position have brought Roman Athlete, the Water- loo winner, and the crack Sacramento Boy together in the first round. Their names were the last two drawn, so they will meet in the last course to-morrow before luncheon. The course has caused much speculation among the experts, as there are widely differing opinions on the relative speed of the two great grey- hounds. Sacramento Boy did not per- form up to the expectations of his ad- mirers at St. Louis and they are eager to see him regain his lost prestige to- morrow. In addition to these crack dogs Black Coon, Rural Artist and Aeolus, which also went Est, are entered. There are four young greyhounds which ccursing men would like to see in a spe- cial match. Two are from Sacramento znd two from this city, and they are all under 2 years of age. They are George Nethercott’s Pocatelll and W. Raught's Belle Free of Sacramento and L. M. Connell’s Black Coon and P. Tiernan's Reta 8 from this city. Pocatelli is pro- ncunced the greatest young greyhound in America, while the others have all dis- tinguished themselves. There is another match in prospect be- tween Jim Edmonds and P. Mullarky, two veteran coursing men. This will be to determine who can get off the field faster after their hounds have run a course. Edmonds is a rollicking young blade and has many backers in the pro- posed match. Both men have their dogs tiained to return to them immediately after killing a hare. They are the only ones which will do this. Becretary George MacE. Malcolm of the California Coursing Committee has com- menced the compllation of the eighth vol- ume of the American Greyhound Stud Bock. All registrations intended for in- sertion in this volume must be in the sec- retary’s hands before the first of the vear. The book will be ready for,distri- bution in April. At a meeting of the California Coursing Committee on Wednesday night the ap- plication for membership of Alameda Park Coursing Club was received. Ac- tion was deferred until next Wednesday night. The club intends to promote the sport at Melrose Park. Its officers are: M. Kolander, president; P. C. Blick, secretary; T. Jolley, judge; J. Schaefer, slipper, and C. W. Avery, kennel steward. David Doust has been appointed judge at Fresno. The sport is expected to thrive there, as the park is an attractive one and the conditions favorable. The officials of Union Coursing Park have tried the innovation of finishing the day’s sport at a comparatively early hour. It has been received with marked favor by spectators and attaches alike. Owing to unnecessary delays the deciding course was often run in the dusk. This was a marked injustice to Judge Grace, who wants the spectators to see every move of the hounds. At times the com- peting greyhounds were similar in color and the spectators from their position in the stand could not hope to distinguish one from the other. This led to confu- sion. Under the new arrangement the spectators are in the city in ample time for dinner and for a night at the theater if they so elect. The coursing to-day will commence upon the arrival of the 1 o’clock train. The sport will be provided by the first round of a forty-eight-dog open stake. The special stake will be at attraction ::u-morrowA The likely winners look to e Special stake—Gambit, Master Rocket, Black Coon, Real Article, Aeolus, Ruby Sankey, ¥enii, Pepper Hill, Charta, Game Boy, Rural Artist, Roman Athlete. _Open_stake—Tyrone Prince, Sir Lawrence, Vina, May Hempstead, Miss Wilson, Sofala, Medley, Beifast, Prometheus, Maid o' the Glen, Cloverdale, Arbacus, Glaucus, Conroy, Flower of Gold, Clarice, Harvey M, Santonin, Lily Wright, Roxana, Cecil M, Lady Menlo, Har- lean Gladys and John Doe. o sz e LR ARIEL OARSMEN DISPLAY CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY Interest of Members Is Being Kept Alive by Entertainments and Tournaments. The Ariel Rowing Club, despite the fact that it has no boating nor swim- ming quarters, is maintaining an active existence. The masquerade ball given last Saturday night at Saratoga Hall was largely attended and realized a sub- stantial sum for the bullding fund. The “German band” of the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club created much amuse- ment. The band is made up of Alex W. Pape, first cornet; James Farrell, sec- ond cornet; A. H. Pape, trombone; W. O. Patch, tuba; F. Bush, first piccolo; Leo D. Wienand, second piccolo; T. Harris, clarionet; A. Scheppler, F. W. Woerner and H. Perazzi, drums; Tom Keenan, bass @rum, and J. 8. Earls, leader. !

Adams Point for Trophy Opening Matches for Men’s Council’s Cup May Take Place at the Presidio TH!S morning on the links of the Oak- land Golf Club there will be a contest over eighteen holes, match play, with handicap, for the iadies’ cup. Play begins at 10 o’clock. Next Saturday there will be men’s four- somes, scratch match play, on the links at Adams Point. Members entering the competition will be divided into classes A and B, according to their strength. Part- ners are to be drawn by lot. Play begins at2p. m. On the Presidio links on Thanksgiving day the qualifying rounds for the coming competition for the Council’s cup, for men, were entered by thirty competitors, the first two rounds played during the day being counted. The eight who guali- fled and thelr scores were: H. C. Golcher 42, 44, total 86; S. L. Abbot Jr. 46, 45, to- tal 91; Dr. T. G. McConkey 50, 43, total 2; Warren Gregory 46, 47, total 93; G. E. Starr 48, 45, total 83; G. B. Cooksey 44, 50, total 94; Captain D. J. Rumbough 49, 46, total 95; Lieutenant J. 8. Oyster 48, 47, to- tal ¥5. These eight are paired as follows: George E. Starr” versus Captain D. J. Rumbough, Wadrren Gregory versus Lieu- tenant J. S. Oyster, S. L. Abbot Jr. ver- sus H. C. Golcher and G. B. Cooksey ver- sus Dr. T. G. McConkey. As no event is set down on the schedule of the San Francisco Golf Club for to-day some of the matches will probably be played this afternoon. There was a handicap tournament over eighteen holes, medal play. on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club on Thanks- giving day. The course is in a muddy condition and the scores were somewhat high. R. B. Rorison won by a small mar- gin from R. Gilman Brown, who played scratch. Last Saturday a team of ten members of the Menlo Golf and Country Club played on the Presdio links the second half of a thirty-six-hole match against a team representing the San Francisco Golf Club. On the previous Saturday the Sap Francisco team had played the first half of the match on the - Menlo course, being ten up. When the second eighteen holes were played on the Presidio course the 8am Francisco team added 27 holes to their score, win- ning the match 37 up. Only two of the visitors, Lieutenant J. S. Oyster and Dr. J. H. Moss, beat their opponents on the Presidio course. The details are shown in the table: San Francisco and Menlo golf clubs. match. Team San Francisco— Up, | Menlo— A.

The silver cup, which was purchased by the two clubs jointly as a trophy, thus becomes the property of the San Fran- cisco Golf Club. The Captain’s cup, presented in 1898 by Mr. and Mrs. Orestes Pierce to the mem- bers of the Oakland Golf Club, was won last Saturday by Frank A. Kales with a score of 84 for eighteen holes. His will be the sixth victory to be recorded on the trophy, which remains in the possession of the club. The first contest for the cup was won by Ernest R. Folger on Novem- ber 12, 1898, with a score of %0; on May 31, 1899, Charles P. Hubbard won the second contest with a score of 94; on October 13, 1900, W. P. Johnson was victorious with a score of 94, and on March 30, 1901, the same player placed another victory to his credit with a score of 92; on October 19, 1901, F. 8. Stratton won the fifth contest with a score of 8. The trophy will be- come: the permanet property of the player who first wins it three times. e e e e e e e e o ) ing Club the limit of the membership list was reached and a waiting list, on which there are twenty-four names, was tablished. The building fund is already large enough to permit the club to begin work on its proposed new clubhouse. The South End Rowing Club has pre- sented a petition to the Harbor Commis- sioners asking that a new location near the Arctic Ofl Works, where a suitable piece of land fronting on the water is at present unusued, may be assigned to the teating clubs. At the last meeting of the Pacific As- sociation of the Amateur Athletic Union President W. B. Hinchman appointed A. P. Rothkopf, the well known charter member of the Dolphin Club, commission- er on rowing, and T. Harrls commission- er on swimming. At the last regular meeting of the Dol- phin Swimming and Boating Club the following were appointed a committee to nominate the regular ticket for the elec- tion of officers to serve during 1903: E. H. Coney, Frank H. Curry, W. Remens- berger, J. G. Gallagher and J. C. Reimers. FAMILIAR FACES SEEN IN RING AT INGLESIDE Horsemen From All Over the Country Gather at the Track to View the Sport Many Are Familiar With Race Followers on Every Course North and South WINTER racing has attracted men to California who are known on all the big racecourses throughout America. They are the regulars at Ingleside and may be seen there six days in the week, either as spectators or as participants in the exciting work at the track. Percy Treat gets the money whether this or that horse wins or loses. He is the secretary of the New California Jeckey Club, and all the owners have to come in and look him over before they can start their horses. Treat is a good man in this place and popular among horsemen. He is a little stingy with his badges, but why shouldn't he be? Virginia Carroll is one of the old- timers. He has been making book ever since Ivanhoe was a two-year-old. They can't come too high'for him. He took a bet on The Major a few days ago 'higher than a cat's back.” But this didn’t feaze him. His prices are usually a point or two above the market. “San Francisco” George Rose is prob- ably the largest bookmaker in the ring. He has a bankroll which it would hustle old Charentus to jump over. George is usually looking to knock down the favor- ites. “Dinky"” Levy is one of the prominent characters at the track these days. He auctions off the: property of honest men in the morning and in the afternoon tries to win the money of other honest men. Harry Stover usually knows what he is about. He is, perhaps, the shrewdest man on the course, and when he sets his in you can gamble the horse will be “thar or tharabouts.” Harry Jenkins, brother of the noted lightweight ‘“‘Clem,” is the handsomest man at the track these days, although Caricaturist Warren has handed him one in his pen sketch. £ ‘Who doesn’t know “Whitehat”” McCar- ty? Not to know this old-timer is to confess one’s self unknown. “‘Kid” Nelson looks wise and keeps the Sunset'Club posted on the doings of the other bookies. “S8andy” McNaughton is the Beau Brummel of the racing fraternity at In- glesidé. Any time one thinks ‘“‘S8andy” doesn’t know what he is about—well, one is in bad, that's all. Caesar Young is probably one of the best known bookies in the country. Barney Schreiber is never afraid of a longshot. He has been too long in the business. He is one of the best known men on the American turf. John Mackey turns out all the good ones from the Haggin farm, near Sacramento. He is a keen judge of horseflesh. Green B. Morris is always the same, whether he wins or loses—cool, calm, col- lected—always preserving that peace af mind and serenity of makeup which go far toward making the happy man. SRR T [ e i 2 CALIFORNIA YACHTSMEN PLAN FINE CLUB HOUSE Members Are Expected to Approve the Design for a Colonial Structure. At the last meeting of the board of di- rectors of the California Yacht Club sev- erai sets of plans for the new clubhouse, to be built near one of the railroad moles, ‘were presented for consideration. The de- sign most likely to be adopted was sug- gested by ex-Commodore Allen M. Clay and was approved by the directors pres- ent at the meeting. The clubhouse will be two and a half storles high, in the celonial style, with a lighthouse tower containing a cluster of lights eighty-five feet above sea level. A veranda will run around the dome, from which a fine view will be obtained. 3 In the clubhouse there will be fifty lock- ers for yacht owners and 250 for members who do not own yachts. There will be space for storing eighty small boats and for a pumping-room, in which will be in- stalled a motor to supply power for haul- irg yachts up on the ways. A wide staircase will lead to the second 'floor, on which will be the reception hall and assembly-room, which will have a stage 37 by 18 feet at one end. There will also be a parlor, dressing-rom, rooms for the directors and for billlards and cards. Dressing-rooms _for j#inks will be adjacent to the stage. A large reading-room with a great open fireplace will lead off the assembly-room. The wide veranda will be open on one side and covered with glass on the other. The half-story on the top will contain a stewards’ room and a sail loft. —————— Featherweights May Fight Here. The officials of the Hayes Valley Ath- letic Club are still trying to secure the proposed McGovern-Young Corbett box- ing match. As the Eastern promoters show no great desire to secure the match the featherweights will probably be glad to come West. :1f the Hayes Valley Club wants a match that will please the ring-goers here it will bring Jimmie Britt and either of the Eastern men together. the performers at | 4 NOVEMBER 2 PERFORMANCES OF CRICKETERS ARE ANALYZED Only Two British Batsmen Score Double Figures . Against_ Local Eighteen Bosanquet With Ball and Whatman Behind Wicket Prove a Deadly Couple CALIFORNIAN cricketers performed well on Wednesday, when they scored 125 runs against the bowling of the English visitors, and, better still, when they allowed only two of the English batsmen to score double figures. Of course, eighteen men can be so dis- tributed about a cricket field that many hits which would be worth two or thrze runs under ordinary circumstances get only one. The large number of flelders render it hard for a batsman to escape being caught if he plays a ball into the air. In- deed, of the nine Englishmen who went in to bat only two were clean bowled by the Californians—E. M. Dawson, the Cam- bridge University captain, by H. C. Cas- idy, and J. Stanning, by Harold Ward. The Californians -proved good fielders, stopping nearly all the balls that came their way and missing hardly a catch. To get such practiced and expert bats- men as E. M. Dawson, C. J. Burnup, F. L. Fane, T. L. Taylor and P. R. Johnson out for less than ten runs apiece was highly creditable. Each of these men is likely to make a century or two before retyrning home to England in April next. B. J. T. Bosanquet of the Oxford Uni- versity eleven proved. the most brilliant performer on the side of the visltors, capturing eleven of the Californian wick- ets and scoring fifty runs, not out. A. D. Whatman showed himself quick and sure behind the wickets, stumping seven of the Californian batshien off Bosanquet's puzzling slows. Thompson, the English professional, bowled three of the Califor- nians. and J. C. Burnup bowled one. Four were caught off Bosanquet's bowling and two off Hargreaves’ bowling. On the Cal- ifornian side John Myers, B. Bird, H. V. Keeling, C. L. Enderly and T. W. Tetley, all capable batsmen, likely to make runs, added nothing to the score, while of the Englishmen only one, Thompson, failed to make at least six runs. Harold Rich- ardson proved a tower of strength to the Californian team, going in first and keep- ing his wicket up until H. C. Casidy, who went in eighth, had joined him. H. B. Richardson was neatly caught in the slips by T. L. Taylor. A. Hoskings, a new man, who had not played previously on a local field, displayed good form at the | bat. He will be a useful addition to one | of the teams next year. The only six-hit during the match was made by B. J. T. Bosanquet, who also scored five fours. The Californians who made hits for four were H. B. Richard- son, H. R. Elliot, F. J. Croll, C. P. Coles and A. W. Wilding. The visitors played twelve men against the California eighteen, and five of them ‘were put on to bowl. Nine of the eighteen lccal players tried their hands with the ball, the most successful being Harold ‘Ward, who captured three wickets for 34 runs, an average cost of 1.3 runs per wicket. C. P. Coles took one wicket for 4, D. B. Bowly one for 6, H. F. Elliot one for 16, H. B. Richardson one for 16 and H. C. Casidy one for 19. Of the visitors B. J. T. Bosanquet's eleven wickets cost 48 runs, or 4.3 each; Trompson took three for 18, an average of 6 per wicket; Hargreaves captured two for 18, an average of 9 per wicket, and J. C. Burnup got one for 15 runs. The visit of the Englishmen will do much good to the cause of cricket in this State. The local team was made up not only of the Alameda and Pacific clubs, but also comprised representatives of the Santa Cruz, Sacramento, Burns Valley and Lakeport clubs. ————— UNUSUAL TENNIS ENTRY CAUSES SOME SURPRISE Nearly One Hundred Players Take “Part in the Two Tournaments Held on Thanksgiving. The two tennis tournaments played on Thanksgiving day were the largest ever held in the city. In the club affalr there were fifty-seven players, while thirty- seven figured in the park tournament. Nearly a hundred players competing in the city at once shows how popular ten- nis is at present. Throughout the day there were at least 500 spectators at the California Club courts and many more than that number at the park. Several good matches were played on the club courts. That between Drum- mond MacGavin and Grant Smith was as fine as has been played in years. Mac- Gavin played a brilllant game and would have beaten Smith had not the latter been playing the game of his life.” It was nip and tuck throughout the match. Smith won by a small margin, The best match in the second class was that between Will Allen and Chet Smith. Allen took the first set so easily that it began to look as if he should have been put in the first class, but the next set went to Smith just as easily. In the lest set the latter had a lead of 4-1 and when the score stood 5-3 and 40-30 in his favor needed but one point to win the match.- Had Smith gone to the net at this stage of the game he would probably WV IinNG, LEAGUE SEASON WILL SOON END ITS LONG RUN Clubs Have Enjoyed One of the Best Paying Sea- sons in History of Game Billy Phyle Returns to the Fold and Lines Out the Base Hits in Good Form THERE remains but one week more of this year's season of league base- ball in California. The players of the four clubs will then betake them- selves to some sheltered retreat, where they will spend the remainder of the win- ter in seclusion and will try to forget etrors and base hits. Meanwhile the magnates will be scanning the horizon for likely talent with which to open the 1903 season, while the fans will be forced to sit around the fireside and play over again some of the hair raising contests of the year. When the pennant is delivered to Oak- land and the season comes to a close the stars of the American and National leagues will arrive in this city and open a five weeks’ engagement. This will pro- long the ball season into the middle of Jenuary—a season all told amounting to nearly ten months’ steady playing. This is a remarkable record. Ten months of playing, six games a week— four-in this city and two in Oakland and big crowds in attendance all the time. San Francisco is undoubtedly the great- est ball city in the world. -Where is there another town that will average 8000 peo- fie a Sunday. for ten long months with- out an intermission? Next year if the high class of talent cf some of the league is maintained the same crowds and probably larger “ones will turn out to view the games just as they have been doing. The fans will be as eager for a ball game, though they will have had but two months’ rest between | seasons. The California League during the past ycar has been a tremendous success from a financial standpoint. No other league in the country has made the money which this one has. Every team made hand- some profits all during the season. The year 1902 has probably been the banner year of baseball in the history of the na- tional pastime in California. The league could never have been the success it was if the clubs did not de- liver the goods. All have played good, fast ball during the season. No other minor league in the country ran ome, two nine with the California League. As the Oakland team stands at present, any of the big league aggregations will have t> play some to win from fit. There are four men in the league who have taken part in every game played by their clubs this season. These four are Toman, Eagan, Sheehan and Dever- eaux. Mohler played in every game up to last Friday, when he had to stay out for a couple of days on account of his wife's illness. The home run hitting this season has not been nearly as heavy as it was last year. In 191 Krug led the league, with fifteen to his credit. This season Dun- leavy 1is the headliner, with nine. Last season Householder and Nordyke had eleven each, but this year they have made only four or five. Billy Phyle’s long vacation did not af- fect his batting eyes in the least. Just as soon as he got into the game at Los Angeles he began to line 'em out in old- time style. He secured five hits in the first three games. Pat Meany also seems to take to the southern climate. He fat- tens his batting average on every trip. Two Football Players Die. MARSHALL, Mo, Nov. 2.—Bunce Quarles of Booneville, the young Kem- per College student injured here two weeks ago in a football game, between Wentworth Academy and Kemper Col- lege, dled here to-day from his injuries. His neck was dislocated. WESTCHESTER, Pa., Nov. 28— Charles Carr, colored, 21 years of age, of Philadelphia, dled at the Chester County Hospital from injuries received yesterday during a football game. Carr's neck was irjured in a mass play and he was ren- dered unconscious. e e e e ] ] have won. From then on Allen had no trouble in winning. The final of the first class, in which R. N. Whitney will be opposed to Grant Smith, will be a good contest, as the play- ers are evenly matched. It is scheduled for 2 p. m. to-morrow. Will Allen is ex- pected to win the second class, but will probably have some trouble in disposing of Frost, who is expected to beat Spli- valo. Only a part of the park tournament was run off on Thursday, owing to the fact that there was but one court avail- able. Bitumen has been laid on two of the other courts, but they have not been marked off. The park players are anx- jous to have bitumen laid on the new courts In front of the clubhouse. This is an ideal spot for tennis courts and the players claim it would be a mistake to lay out earth courts. As both Whitney and Allen are in the final of the California Club tournament to be finished to-morrow- and also in the final of the handicap doubles to be played on the park courts, they will probably de- fault in the latter event. The Hotchkiss brothers, who are opposed to Whitney and Allen, may allow the match to be postponed. - GE o REE g SROSE : GoT SIS ISED o R f wAHILE — PP v i GRELENS 8B ./70RRS /5 \AIIIIS IS G e LoOS I 0F THE TRAC ‘SANDY " I FE/SAVCH Tt WV TYm ]yfl'.f" A )
