Play will com- mence promptly at 9:30 a. m. This is the only champiopship tourna- ment held in the city and is the most important event locally. of the year. The San Francisco championship was inaug- urated two years ago and was won by ex-Champion of the Coast George F. ‘Whitne Last year the tournament was won by Grant Smith. As there has been no challenge cup heretofore the champion is called upon to play through the tour- nament. A valuable silver trophy has been do- | nated by Joseph D. Grant. It is to be a challenge cup and must be won three jon. Next times, not necessarily in succe: | vear the champion will stand out and play the winner of the tournament. All of the tennis cracks the tournament and some great matches | are expected. The favorites are Mac- Gavin, R. N. Whitney and Smith. That one of these three players will prove the winner is almost a certainty. The Golden (ate Club has twelve men entered, but none are of the champlonship caliber. | The strongest player from the park is | Norman Hodgkinson, who, outside of the threesalready mentioned, is considered to have the best chance of winning. Such | players as Routh, Dunlap, Janes, Griffin and the Hotchkiss brothers, while not expected to win, will make the cracks | play hard to beat them.

Owing to the large entry list it will not be pogsible to finish the tournament in one da§. As much as pos- sible will be plaved off to-day and the | remainder to-morrow. The second and fourth class players of the Golden Gate Tennis Club furnished some great matches on the park courts last Sunday. In the second class nearly every match was exceedingly close. Clarence Griffin and George Janes, eas- ily the most promMsing players at the park, will meet in the final. Interest in the match is enhanced by the fact that both have won the cup twice and the match to-morrow will settle which one is to retain it permanently. The players are evenly matched and it would be hard to pick the winner. Griffin showed to bet- ter advantage last Sunday, but Janes is fully as clever. The match will be played at 10:30 a. m., and will be three sets out of five. In the final of the fourth class G. L. Hall and C. 8. Skaggs will meet, and a hot contest is expected. This mateh will be played at the same time. The annual State championship of sin- gles tournament will be played at San Rafael on the Fourth of July.

The result of the match played last Sunday at Alameda between the Pacific! and San Francisco County clubs showed that the latter club is stronger than was supposed. It was believed that Richard- son, Kortlang and Sloman constituted the whole batting strength of the team and that, if these failed to come off, the whole eleven would ‘collapse. But last Sunday E.

A seventeen-pound Mackinaw trout was caught on Lake Tahoe. near Tahoe City, some days since. It was sent to the Southern Pacific Company officials in this city for exhibition purposes. They had it frozen in a huge block of fce, the process requiring three days. The fish retains all its beauty and color and out- lines. It was taken by a man trolling. The usual method is to have a large spoon y on 100 feet of copper wire, which in turn is attached to fifteen feet of ordinary line. Reports from the Truckee are conflict- ing, some saying the river is falling rapid- Iy and the water clearing, while others say the angling will not be good for weeks. Jim Maynard.
