She now has the appearance of an able, weatherly boat for outside crulsing. The sloop Verona, owned by Harry Brindle, has been added to the roll of the California Yacht Club. .

FOR THE WORD | NORTHERN MEN MAY FIGURE IN RACE FOR FLAG Seattle and Portland Are Now Holding Their Own With the Leading Clubs Joe Corbett’s Pitching Arm Is Rapidly Rounding In- to Perfect Form Again HE two northern teams of the Pa- cific Coast League, Portland and Seattle, are attracting more atten- ion from the baseball public at present than any of the other four clubs of the league. The marvelous jump made by these tall enders is the sensation of the hour. They have steadily climbed from almost hopeless positions and are now where they can make a fight with the three leading clubs. Of course, they have still a long way to go ere they will be within striking dis- tance of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but at the present time they are In dan- ger of heading Mike Fisher's Senators if they can keep on winning as they have been doing the past month. It will be no surprise to see either of the two teams in the first division when the September campaign 18 ushered in. Both Portland and Seattle have made all their headway simply by strengthen- ing their teams when they saw it was the only thing left for them to do. At the present time both clubs are well equipped for a fight with any of them. They have the talent and they are being well han- dled, =0 nathing but the best kind of ball playing on the part of the headline teams will stop them now that they have. struck their gait. Mike Fisher’s team is all in for the time being and perhaps for keeps unless he manages to corral a couple of good pitch- ers who will not collapse in the tight places. Those youngsters of Mike's can- not go the route; that is certain, from their recent performances. It is an old adage that you cannot win a pennant by having your slab artists batted all over the lot by every otMer team in the league. Black, the new one whom Mike rescued from the bush league, is a Chicago ama- teur. He came out here last April and signed with the Butte team of the Pa- cific National League. For some reason he was never tried out and the Butte management let him go after feeding him for a few weeks. Fisher is to be con- gratulated if he makes a good man out of Black. . Joe Corbett is steadily improving in his work. He does better at every perform- ance, But he has been pitching in hard ‘uck for all that during the past month. n that thirteen-inning game on Thurs- day Joe had everything that is the lot of the slab man to possess, yet he lost through the errors and dummy playing of his supporters. Dillon and his batting average are mych talked about among the fans at the p¥es- ent time. The Los Angeles first baseman is hitting the ball at about a .380 clip. This is the best record ever made in Cal- ifornia. At this time last season Mec- Creedie 'was leading the league d his average was about .325. It was thought to be a good one then. ———————— i BISMARCK, N.

I TRIAL RACES FOR OARSMEN ON THE BAY Result Will Determine the Two Crews Which Are to Compete in the North At the Same Time a Single Sculler Will Be Selected for the Astoria Regatta to-morrow there will be a try-out O between barge crews representing the Ariel and South End rowing clubs and the Dolphin and Oylmpic boat clubs. The oarsmen will race over a mile and a half course with a turn, and the crews taking the first two places will go to the ninth annual aquatic carnival at Astoria as the representatives of the Pacific As- sociation of the Amateur Athletic Union. The Ariel crew. will be the same as that which took part fn the senfor barge race at the annual championship regatta on Lake Merritt on July 4, being made up as follows: Alex Keegan, bow; E. L. Smith, No. 2; E. J. Lynch, No. 3, and Charles Wilson, stroke. The Dolphin representatives will prob- ably be the intermediate barge crew which rowed at Lake Merritt, viz.: T. R. Dixon, H. Swellund, Thomas Harris and ‘William Harris. The South End crew will probably be stroked by J. P. Foley. If the Oylmpic Boat Club should at- tempt to enter its intermediate crew in the try-out it would be rejected on ac- count of its faflure to compete in the Lake Merritt events, for which it was en- tered, but the junior Olympic crew might try to win a place. It is made up of Charles Stewart, Roy Wilson, R. W, Ma- son and Franels Boland. The Alameda Boat Club, being the hold- er of the senior barge champlonship, will send a crew of four men to Astoria with- out the ordeal of a try-out. The four will be B. B. Thorning, Sydney Pollard and two others yet to be chosen. There will also be a try-out to-morrow to decide who shall be the representative of the Pacific Association in the single shell. The races will begin at 11 a. m. _—————————— SAN RAFAEL GOLFERS REACH SECOND BOWD Four Players Are Now Left in the First Competition for Mid- summer Trophy.

The entry list, which reached seventy-four, was by far the largest ever heard of in this part of the country. An effort was made last Sunday to finish the first and fourth classes, but it was found impossible to do so. The final of the first and semi- finals and final of the fourth classes will be played to-morrow. The final match of the first class is ex- pected to prove the best of the tourna- ment. George Baker and Charles Dun- lap are the two players who will meet to settle the question of supremacy and decide who shall be the first winner of the new challenge cup. On form Baker ap- pears to have the better chance of win- ning. Dunlap played fine tennis last Sun- day. If he can play as good a game- to- morrow hestands a fine chance of win- ning. Baker at his best is somewhat stronger than Dunlap, but the college crack has not been showing his best form of late. In the fourth class M. Long will meet Howell and Crooks will meet Turner. The winners will come together in the final. The second and third class players drew LAY in the open class singles ten- as follows: Second class—E. M. Twigsgs vs. Horace Man H.

They will be completed in a month or six weeks, when it is expected a large open tournament will be held. The players are practicing hard for the coast championship tournaments, which are only three weeks off. All of the titles went south last year, but the northern men expect to get some of them back in September. In doubles the north will de- pend upon MacGavin and Smith. Much is also expected of these players in singles. MacGavin has been out of the game since May 30, when he won the San Francisco championship. He will retu to town next week and will put in the time be- tween now and the end of the month a® hard practice. The south will be strongly represented by Bell and Freeman in both singles and doubles. In the women's events the southern players should again prove vie- torious. Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Elston, the champions of Honolulu, are in town and will play In the September tournament. Elston won the championship this year | | | an — ATERLOO CUP TO BE DECIDED AT OKLAHOMA Whether It Will Be an Open or an Enclosed Meeting Is Not Known at Present For the First Time a Valu- able Trophy Will Go With the Rich Coursing Stake HE American Waterloo for this year will be decided at Oklahoma City on a date yet to be selected.

The coursing men of the Middle West are trying to induce P. J. Reilly of this city to judge their circuit of meetings this autumn. Judge Reilly has not as yet consented to act. F. L.

Carrie G won the dog open stake at Butte last Sunday, beating Lear King in the deciding course. The regular monthly meeting of the California Coursing Committee, the gov- erning body of the sport on this coast, will be held next Thursday night in its office in the Chronicle building. The coursing at Ingleside Park to-day will commence at 11 o'clock. The first run down of the open stake and also of the veteran stake will form the card. The coursing to-morrow will start at 10:30.

Mrs. Elston has been the woman champion for several years. Many of the vounger players of the California Club are coming to the front with a rush. Herbert Long is probably the most promising of the lot. Long has an excelent style, but his headwork is not good. Practice and experience will eliminate this fault. Harry Rolfe is an- other young player who is making rapid strides. He lacks Long's style, but is Steadier. Beyfuss is also a youngster of promise. He is greatly handicapped by his lack of size. When he gets his growth he will undoubtedly figure in the cham- plonship class. Dr. Lovegrove is prob- ably the most persistent player on the courts. The doctor has entered every tournament during the year. Last Sun- day he won his first tournament match. | In the same manner the doctor stayed with chess until he won the coast cham plonship. While this is not expected of he will surely develop into a good player. ——— Widow Sues United Railroads.
