The committee consists of Fred- iclair, chairman: Paul Carroll, Martin, P. Standeford and W. B. Hinchman. This sub-committee proposes to arrange a programme in con- nection with the Street Fair to be held on the shore of Lake Merritt and to dis- tribute the prizes won at the regatta on the same night A committ: »f the South End Rowmg Club is ‘engaged in preparing plans for the quarters on the site recently allot- si ted by the Harbor Commissfoners. It has not yet been decided whether a new house will be bullt orian annex added to the old one. In any event the accom- modations will be considerably increased. New lockers and dressing-rooms will be added and another lounging room for the men. The present quarters have a depth of fifty feet, but the new ones will have from eighteen to twenty feet more. At the side will be a house for Whitchall boats. Two lighter Whitchalle with slid- ing seats and more pleasure boats will be acquired by the club. "To meet the ex- penses of providing new quarters an as- sessment of $10 will be levied on the mem- bers. It is probable that the foundations for the new guarters will be begun next week. The South ¥End committee is working in conjunction with a committee of the Ariel Rowing Club. Several new members are coming into the South End Rowing Club, the entrance fee to which is $15. - The club. will have senior, intermediate and junior barge crews in the Lake Merritt regatta. The Ariel Rowing Club on Sunday or- ganized a junior barge crew. It is made up of Harry Reilly, bow; William Mc- Kee, No. 2; Louis Meyer, No. 3, and E. J. Murphy, stroke. Last year's intermediate crew, which won the championship that class, is of senior status.this year and will pull in the senior race at the Lake Merritt regatta. The crew was out for practice on Sunday. —_—————— Gaelic Sports in Golden Gate Park.

The final match of the sec ond class in the tournament held recently on the California Club courts will be played this morning at 9 o'clock. The contestants will be M Anita Beyfuss of San Francisco and Miss Bessie Valleau of Alameda. After winning the first two having a lead of 3—0 in the Beyfuss sprained her ankle forced to retire. Miss Valleau titled to the match but refused to take it. "The third set will be playéd over, the first two being credited to Miss Beyfuss. There will be a class singles tourna- ment on the park courts to-morrow. The first and tuird classes will be played. The sccond and fourth classes will be played a week from Sunday. In the first cla: Grant Smith, the holder of the cup, will not play. Norman Hodgkinson will not figure in the tournament, and unless R. N. Whitney decides to play Allen will probably win the cup finally on Sund: Allen and Smith are the only ones who have won it. If only the park regulars participate it is expected Allen will win without much trouble. The first championship tournament of the year, that for the championship of San Francisco, will be played on the Cali- fornia Club courts Decoration day. 1t will be an open event, although nearly all the entries will come from this city. This is due to the fact that the players of Alameda County have decided to hold a tournament the same day on the Kast Oakland courts. It was hoped Murdock and Hunt would play in the tournament here, especially the latter, who made such a good showing in the East last year. With these men out of it the strug- gle will narrow down to Whitney, Mac- Gavin, Collier and Smith. The Wright & Ditson Official Lawn Ten- nis Guide is out, and the long looked for ranking of the coast players is at hand. The name of the ranker is not given, the book merely stating he is a player who figured prominently in the Eastern tour- naments last year. It gives as the ten leading tournament players of the coast L. R. Freeman, A. E. Bell, James Brit- ton, Fritz Overton and Archie Way of the south, and R. N. Whitney, J. D. Mac- Gavin, W. B. Collier, Percy Murdock and Grant Smith of the north. These players are not ranked by numbers. In the opin- icn of the official ranker Champion Free- man would rank among the first ten play- ers of the United States. Whitney, Smith, Bell, Collier and Murdock are placed. in the second ten, while MacGavin is placed in the third ten. The latter ranking is a surprise to the tennis players, as Mac- Gavin properly ranks among the first five on the coast. The Golden Gate Tennis Club will hold its annual election of officers this even- ing. It is expected several important changes will be made. The drawing for the class singles tournament will be held at the same time. —————— Herbert W.
