Rendle, president of the New York Wanderers' Cricket Club and of the Metropolitan District Cricket League, re-’ cently wrote to this city that a meeting of the delegates of the proposed National Cricket Association was about to be held and that the formation of the association seemed certain. Arthur E. Rendle also states that Harold B. Richardson and B. Kortlang, both of the San Francisco County Cricket Club, will in due course recelve the silver medals promised by himself to any cricketer in the California Cricket Assoclation who makes 100 or more runs in an inning in a regular scheduled match or captures three wick- ets with three consecutive balls. A third | Rendle merit medal was won last Sunday |in the match between the Alameda and Pacific clubs by G. Harold Ward, who scored 116 runs. The Alameda Cricket Club stands at the head of the list of matches for the Brown pennant for 193, having played six matches, won five and lost one, giving ten points. The San Francisco County Crick- et Club stamds second, having played five matches, won three, lost one and drawn one, giving seven pointe. Should San Francisco County win to-morrow’s match its score for the pennant will be nine points for the same number of matches as | have been played by the Alameda and | Pacific clabs. The Pacific Club, with only three points to its credit, and the Santa | Cruz Club, with nothing, are out of the { running for the pennant, which lies be- tween the Alameda and San Francisco County clubs. ————— The recent censuses of Scotland and re- land show them to be almost equal in population, each having but a few more peovle than the State of Ohio and San | semite | the ancisco County | third time during | T once the most interesting and the most remarkable polo team in all America is that organized and cap- tained by George J. Gould, master of Georglan Court, Lakewood, New Jersey. In addition to Mr. Gould, who plays No. 1, it embraces Mr. Gould’s two young Jay and King- don, respectively, posi- tions 3, ith Benjamin Nicoll as ack, Without being classed as brilliant individual players, these four X 50 perfected their team work as to place them among the leading players of the country. Their greatest achievement this vear was the winning of the national junfor polo championship on the field of the Philadelphia Country Club on June 2. The team work on this occasion was the delight of the spectators, the four playing with clock-like precision. The score was 14% goals to 6% for their opponents. Mr. Gould's polo establishment at Geor- gian Court is the most elaborate in Amer- ica and it is probably not excelled by that of any player in the world. He counts his ponies by the hundred and maintains three fields. Two of these are for prac- tice, while the third is for match play. Mr. Gould’s sons have had the benefit of the best instructors in horsemanship and in polo. A critical observer watches their every move on the field and at the first opportunity points out any tactlcal mis- takes they may have made. It is this in- struction which has made the team play as one man. Mrs. Gould enters heartily into the pas- times in which the members of her fam- ily take part. She watches every move in the polo games with a mother’s pride and a mother's fears—pride in the superb horsemanship of her young sons and fears for their safety. After each period the boys invariably ride at once to their mother's side to receive words of praise and of encouragement. @n directing the energies of his sons toward polo Mr. Gould has undoubtedly conferred lasting benefits on them. This most fascinating of the games of the fitld develops not only strength of limb and quickness of eye, but it brings out all the manly qualities required in life's bat- tles. The first requisite of a player is horse- manship, of a quality which the most dar- ing cowboy of the plains or the Cossack of the steppes would envy. The player must be in perfect physical condition, which means health. Mr. Gould is not a polo enthusiast to the exclusion of other healthful sports and pastimes. For many years he has been identified with yachting and has owned a number of crack boats. His lat- est acquisition is the turbine-driven yacht Emerald, which enjoys the distinction of being the first vessel of her type to cross the Atlantic. She is a 500-ton vessel, 236 feet over all and 26 feet 8 inches beam. The Emerald is capable of steaming fif- teen knots an hour. She crossed the At- lantic in eighteen days, encountering rough weather on the trip. Mr. Gould has, naturally, gone in for automobiling, but he uses his machines for their utility rather than for their ex- treme speed. The polo season, which is about to open on this coast, gives promise of being the GOLFERS EXPECT | GAY WEEK ON NEW | DEL MONTE LINKS | | | Association Has Arranged Six Days of Continuous | | Play for Men and Women | T 6 p. m. to-day the qualifying round | for the midsummer trophy of the !

The first match play round must be played between July and August 1. The cup is an unusually handsome trophy of hammered silver, with a simple decoration of thistles. The arrangements for the tournament of the Pacific Coast Golf Association at Del Monte are now complete. The most important event is the third annual com- petition for the open championship of the Pacific Coast Golf Association, which will be played on August 28 and 29. All golf players are eligible to compete, subject to the approval of the executive commit- tee. [Entries, accompanied by the en- trance fee of $3, should be made with R. Gilman Brown, secretary of the Pa- cific Coast Golf Association, at 310 Pine street, not ‘later than August 20. The competitors will be patred by the com- | mittee and will play over 72 holes, medal play, the one making the lowest score to be the open champlon. If an ama- | teur he will recefve the gold medal of the Pacific Coast Golf Association. If a professional he will receive $100. The ‘winner of second place will get the silver medal if an amateur, or $30 if he is a professional. The winner of third place will receive the bronze medal or $20. Any person who pays his entrance fee to the secretary will be considered as having engaged to submit to the rules of the assoclation with regard to restrietions and penalties.

None of the direc- tors of the club ever as much as express- ed ad to enter the rival league, sim- ply because they would lose by the move. - acoma club has been making big money in the Northwest since the season opened and everything has gone on in a satisfactory manner. I received Jle‘]l‘grfl.mj from J. T.

All st are drawing big crowds, says Mr. Hart, and as long | as the teams play the kind of ball they | Rave been putting up there is no danger | of the attendance dropping off. | The Tacoma club has been strengthen- ed by the addition of Jimmy Hannivan | and Zeigler, who formerly played with | the Seattle team of the Coast League. Both are good men, Hannivan especially. Both asked for releases from Manager Parke Wilson of the Seattle team and then they immediately joined the Tacoma | aggregatien.

Both Hogg and Thielman, | who were released by Seattle and Los Angeles _respéctively, are pitching good ball for Portland, and Messerly, the first baseman, who was also released by Los Angeles, seems to have made a good im- pression on the Portland fans by his work at the initial bag. He is also hit- ting the ball well. None of these men | were considered fast enough for the Pa- | cific National League. i The Butte team of the Pacific National League still continues to lead by an am- ple margin and all through its hitting powers. In every game the Butte play- ers seem to land on the ball at will and | bat in runs when they please. The club | does not field well, but its sticking pow- ers make up for any deficiency in that | line. Charley Reilly's Los Angeles team is holding its own in second place and ig | playing good ball. The team has under. | gone a great change lately and many new | faces appear in the Hne-up. With the three Princeton University men, the }Ill—\‘ derbrand brothers and Steinwal, Los An. | geles should prove a dangerous factor in the race for the pennant from now on Butte still leads Los Angeles by about three games. —_———— French drivers and firemen French fuel will be imported fo; and even T the trial | coursing. | this the banner | Hve | Some miscreant | he dogs there is money to be made in Cal- ifornia and hounds of record are being shipped to compete in big stakes that California is noted for During the next few months there will be run some events that will bring out some of the finest dogs in the country.

The Philalediphia Press makes some very friendly comments on Alex W. Pape, who withdrew from the senior sculling race owing to poor condition. The Press says that “With his withdrawal there rb- tires as true a sportsman as ever came over the Rockies.” Pape went to Phila- delphia several weeks ago to taxe part in the American Henley. When he left San Francisco he weighed 168 pounds and feit vigorous. Before reaching Philadelphia had lost eight pounds. He began training and four days before Henley day had gone down to- 14 pounds. He went about his training In a very conseientious and unassuming manner and made many friends. As soor as he had got into form his rowing attracted the attention of alil the oarsmen on the river. The potice boat Rescue followed him down the course several times and those on board were surprised to find that he covered the Henley course in_ 9:3. One day he covered one mile 50 yards in 9:15. O the day of the race he went to the nn in apparently great form and the favor- ite. After rowing about a mile Ernes George, the Boston sculler, and Pape col- lided, George being considerably out ¢ his course. Soon after this Pape becam exhausted, and, after wobbling in his shell, fell overboard. He was rescued, but dld not recover for an hour. When weighed at the quarters of the Vesper Boat Club he was found to be reduced to 139 pounds, twenty-nine under his nor- mal weight. Pape sald to a reporter: “I1 haven't made good on my reputatin® this time, but I shall try agam at the tionals in August. In the meantime I shall try to gain weight.
