SPEEDY RAINLAND IS DEFEATED IN A CLOSE FINISH Corrigan’s Sweetie Wins by a Nose After an Exciting Drive Through the Stretch Rainy Weather Spoils the Card at Washington Park and Scratches Are Many Epecial Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, July 17.—There was no spe- clal feature on the Washington Park card to-day. Rain caused numerous scratches and spoiled the fourth race, one that looked to be most interest- ing. A killing was made on Brulare, winner of the ggent, his owners backing him from 8 to § to even money. The third race furnished the closest fin- ish of the afternoon.

During the present season four local cricketers have made batting averages of thirty or more runs. H. B. Richardson has scored 22 runs, has been six times at the bat, twice not out and has an average of 65.50; B. Kortlang has been five times at bat, twice not out and has a total of 170 runs, or_an average of 56.66; G. Harold Ward hds been six times at bat, twicé not out and has made a total of 190 runs, or an average of 47.50; E. G. Sloman has been six times at bat, twice not out and has compiled 120 runs, or an average of 30 per inning. As in batting, so in bowling three of the first four places on the list are taken by members of the S8an Francisco County Club. E. Petersen has bowled 138 balls and taken 10 wickets for 51 runs, or an average of 5.10 per wicket; E. H. Wilkes has bowled 138 balls and taken 8 wickets for 41 runs, or an erage of 5.12 per wicket; B. Kortlang has bowled 459 balls and has taken 2 wickets for 155 runms, or at an average cost of 6.20 runs per wicket; F. J. Croll of Alameda has bowled 36 balls and has taken 18 wickets for 147 runs, at an average cost of 8.16. Harold Ward of Alameda has bowled the largest pumber of balls, 568, while B. Kortlang (459), B. Bird (454) and O. N. Taylor (446) are almost on an equality as regards the number of balls sent down, Kortlang has taken the largest number of wickets, 25, and Harold Ward the next largest num- ber, 19. H. C. Casidy of the Pacifics has bowled nearly as many balls as Harold Ward, but the 15 wickets he has taken have been rather expensive, having cost 14.33 runs apiece. It is fair to suppose that neither of these players would have bowled so many balls had they not been captains of their clubs. In the list of the first ten bowlers the San Francisco Coun- ty Club has four names, the Alameda three, the Pacific two and the Santa Cruz club one. G. 8. McCallum and R. R. Stephens have joined the Pacific Cricket Club. The former was captain of the Vampire asso- ciation football club last season, and has r«:‘ntly returned from the Midway Isi- an RIDING OF BURNS IN CLOSE RACES COMPELS PRAISE Speculators .at Brighton Beach Rejoice in the Success of Skillful Jockey Narrow Margin of a Neck Decides One of the Big Events on the Day's Card Special Dispatch to The Call. RIGHTON BEACH, N. Y, July 17.— Speculators who cashed their wagers on Dinah Shad in the first race and on Leipsic in the. sixth race at Brighton Beach to-day can thank “Tommy' Burns' unremitting efforts for their good fortune, for in these cases it required the hardest sort of riding to get home first. The odds against Dinah Shad were 15 to 1. Burns nursed her speed, made his run in the stretch and caught the tiring pacemaker, Tendercrest, in the last sixteeenth. By the narrow margin of a neck Burns’ mount in the sixth race, Leipsic, defeated the heavily supported Hyland, which was backed from 10 down tq 5 to 1, and which seemed to have the race won in stretch, but failed to withstand Burns’ vigorous work on Leipsic. = Cocagne, backed from 15 down to 8§ to 1, was not placed.

S — AUDITOR WILL NOT HELP DEBT-COLLECTION AGENCIES Baehr Refuses to Audit a Claim Against Salary of a City Official. Yesterday Auditor Baehr was threaten- ed with a writ of mandate to compel him to audit a demand for $36564 on the sal- ary of Howard Vernon, officlal stenog- rapher of the Police Court. A judgment for the amount has been secured against Vernon in the Justices’ Court, but as his salary is not attachable, by a recent act of the Legislature, his creditors sought to secure the money through the Auditor. Auditor Baehr refused to audit the de- mand and forcibly said that he did not propose to have his office used as a debt collecting agency. There are a number of salary warrants tied up in the Auditor’s office by creditors seeking satisfaction. The Supreme Court has been asked to decide the legality of the law which does not allow the salary of a city official to be attached. R TR B LT HIGHLAND CATTLE. NEXT SUNDAY’S ART SUPPLEMENT.

The new boat led almost from the start and was in her usual position at the finish, but the Belmont boat, after being at one time more than a mile astern, came up with a rush at the close and was only 59 seconds behind her rival at the line. As the Reliance allows the Constitution 2 minutes and 17 seconds in thirty-seven miles, the length of the run, the latter won by 1 minute and 18 seconds. The time allowance, while unofficial, is believed to bé within two or three uewnds of the cor- rect time, All the fidet, with the exception of the racing nineties, were off by 11:15, and fif- teen minutes were allowed the cup yachts in which to maneuver. The three boats went over the line on the starboard tack with ballooners set. During the first ten minutes the Rellance and Constitution pulled by the Columbia very rapidly, but fifteen minutes later the wind fell almost flat. In the-drift the Re- liance again showed her splendid powers in light fanning airs, and at 12:15 was half a mile ahead of the Constitution and a quarter of a mile ahead of the Columbia, the latter having pulled up a bit. During the next hour there was a fine tussle be- tween the Reliance and the Columbia, and at one time the latter succeeded in getting out ahead to the extent of about a quarter of a mile, while the Constitu- tion dropped back until she was more than a mile astern of the Reliance. At 2 o’clock the Rellance had succeeded in pulling by the Columbia, and twenty miles from the start the Constitution also went by the old cup defender to leeward. Ten miles from the finish the Reliance was leading the Constitution by nearly three-quarters of a mile. The breeze proved fickle, however, and when it dropped it left the Rellance first, so that the Constitution was able to draw up to her, but could not quite catch her. Then the breeze sprung up again and once more the Reliance pulled away, only to be left a few minutes after with almost flapping safls. When the wind hauled back into the south the ballooners were set for a broad reach of five miles to the finish. As the breeze strengthened astern the Constitution gained rapidly on the Reli- ance. Two miles from the finish she was only a quarter of a mile astern and a mile away from the line she had cut down the Reliance's lead to 200 or 300 yards. The new boat broke out her spinnaker quickly in the hope of puliing away, but the Constitution followed suit and was almost blanketing the Reliance as they neared the finish line. . ‘While the Reliance managed to cross in the lead, the Belmont boat was one sec- ond less than a minute astern, both boats flying across the line under a great press of saifls, The Columbia, in the meantime, had been dropping quite rapidly astern and was more than a mile away. The of- ficlal time in the ninety-footer class was: Constitution—Start, 11:32; finish, 5:14:13; elapsed time, 5:42:13. © Reliance—Sta; 11 32; finish, 5:13:14; elapsed time, 5 Columbia—Start, ll 32; finish, 5:20:35; elapsed time, 5: The Reliance beat the Constitution in elapsed time by 59 seconds and the Colum- bia by 7 minutes and 21 seconds. Consti- tution beat Columbia 6 minutes and 22 seconds. —_——— AMATEUR GOLFERS TO PLAY FOR TROPHIES Northern and Southern California Teams to Play for the Byrne Prize.

L o and TENNIS MATCHES ON PARK COURTS ATTRACT PLAYERS HE attraction on the local tennis T courts this week will be the com- pletion of the handicap doubles tour- nament commenced on the park courts last Sunday. Three teams are left in the competition and it is expected the two remaining matches will prove close and exciting. In the morning at 11:30 ‘Will Allen and Grant Smith, the cup hold- ers, will meet R. N. Whitney and Jules F. Bradv. The latter is rather an odd combination. Whitney is undoubtedly one of the strongest players in the city, while his partner is several classes below. For this reason the latter will be al- lowed a liberal handicap. They will re- celve odds of “one-half of 15; that is, 15 every other game. Allen and Smith will play 15 back of scratch, which means that the first point they make in each game does not count. The scratch men will play everything to Brady and the latter will undoubtedly be kept busy dur- ing the match. In the afternoon at 2:30 Stewart Gay- ness and Guy Lytton will meet the win- ner of the Allen-Smith-Whitney-Brady match in the finals. Should they meet Allen and Smith the latter would bé 15 back, while Gayness -and Lytton would receive 15. Whitney and Brady would allow Gayness and Lytton ‘one-half of 15.”"% In either event Gayness and Lytton are expected to give a good account of themselves, as they have quite a snug handicap, and played much better than usual last Sunday. Of the three teams left Allen and Smith are the only ones who have won the cups. If they win Sunday they will be tie with the Hotchkiss brothers, who have two wins to their credit. The cups have been won once by Routh and Dunlap and Clinch and McKay. At 10:30 Sunday there will be an exhi- bition match on the park courts. The contestants will be Professor Joseph Daily, the crack professional, and S. H. Adams of the California Tennis Club. The latter named joined the Golden Gate Club last week, A match that is expected to excite un- usual interest is being arranged for a week from Sunday. The cogtestants will be Professor Daily and N n Hodg- kinson. It will be the first match played by two professionals in the city. Daily is & man who has been a wonder in his day, but is getting along in years for an athlete. Hodgkinson, on the other hand, is a young man who is improving con- stantly and is In fine practice. - The odds seem to be in favor of the last named, but Daily may be relied upon to make some strokes that will surprise the spec- tators. The match was to have been held in the park courts, but it was decided to hold it on the California courts and charge an admission fee of 25 cents. The proceeds will be donated to the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Assoclation, which is in debt. This is considered a better plan for raising the money than levying an assessment, which it amounts to prac- tically. The Park Commissioners decided last week to build two asphalt courts in front of the clubhouse at the park. This news pleased the park players greatly, but they were equally dismayed when they learned that Park Superintendent McLaren would not move the two trees that are very much in the way. Naturally he is averse to cutting them down. but they could be moved to another part of the park with- out much trouble. Local tennis players are greatly inter- ested in the doings of Reuben Hunt in the East. The latter, strange to say, is obtaining better results away from home and among supposedly better players than he did on the courts on wifich he learned the game. Hunt has reached the finals of the New York State championship and the local cracks would be pleased to see him gain more laurels. Hunt won the Gulf States championship last year, and also played a fine set match with Kreigh Collins, the Western champion who was rankad ten last vear.

The home team pressed them hard from the outset and not till the last man went out was the battle at an end. Score, 3 to2 All kinds of pretty plays were pulled off during those nine rounds of action and it was one of the hardest fought games of the season. Every man on each nine worked himself to the limit endeavoring to win out. It was anybody’'s game at every stage and a hit at the right mo- ment won it for the Senators. But the home team should have been the victor. The bad judgment of the coachers on the lines in the fourth and eighth rounds resulted in two being caught at the plate, and then again in the third Krug was thrown out by McLaugh- lin when hé should have scored easily on Meany's long fly. The locals flelded perfectly. Not a fumble did any of them make during the game. But they were unable to hit young Cutter at all when a hit meant a run. They only landed on the youngster for six and these he kept well scattered along the route of the battle. Uncle's followers landed one in the fourth and one more in the next inning. These two periods finished them for run getting. On both occasions good, solid hits by Pabst, Leahy and Krug did the trick, aldedsmaterially by the four errors the Senators managed to pile up at the wrong time. Sacramento made good with a pair in the sixth on three hits by Hildebrand, Egan and Townsend. Then they did net do a thing with the bat till the eighth, When Hildebrand hit past second and McLaughlin sacrificed him on a step farther. Egan tore off one that barely hit inside the line near the right field fence and Hildy registered the run.which kept Fisher and his bunch in second place. During the first inning a fast double play prevented the Senators from getting a man over the plate. Cutter led off with a double to center fleld and Casey beat out a bunt. Casey tried to steal second, but was caught between the lines. Then McLaughlin hit one to Shay and he im- mediately doubled up Hildebrand, who was on first, and spoiled a fat chance for arun.
