The sloop Rover was cruising in the channel during the afternoon, but did not reach the starting-line in time.

Commo- dore R. 8. Bridgman of the S8an Francisco Yacht Club and party in the sloop Thetis, accompanied by W. W. Haley and friends the sloop Ariel, left Sausalito on the h inst. Thetis reached Paradise Cove, but Ariel dropped back to the Sausalito tide station. On Sunday Ariel joined Thetis and both yachts sailed up Peta- ima Creek and through the drawbridge 10 Lakeville, with a good breeze. On the ws the #1o0p Thelma and the Califor- nia flagship Idler were passed in a blind ovgh. At Lakeville the sloop Espy was oined. After lying at anchor for two wurs the yachts Arlel and Thetis ropped down to the drawbridge, where ey moored for the night.

The running will be diagonally across the field. The soil is - light ana sandy and cannot bake hard. The managers of the meet expect a big success. The dogs will be kenneled in the racing stables at the track. The level pastures mear the cityy will afford good training grounds for the dogs being pre- pared for the meeting. Yachting Notes. To-day and to-morrow are open on the programme of the Corinthian and Califor- nia Yacht clubs. The handicap race of the California Yacht Club for the Vincent cup will not take place on Sunday, the 20th inst., but a week later. On the 27th the annual regatta of the San Francisco Yacht Club will be held over the channel course. TTLE DOWN TO RE 3 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA'S FOOTBALL ME: AND SOME PLAYERS OF WHOM GREAT THINGS ARE EXPECTED DURING SEASON WHICH IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING. SOUTH PRODUCES THE CHAMPIONS OF THE COURTS Northern Players Are Un- able to Win® From the Clever Racket Wielders THE annual coast championship tennis tournament at San Rafael was one of the most successful ev held here, For the second time the southern players swept all before them. Last year all of the championships went south and again this year the north has been whitewashed. However, the local players made a much better showing this vear than they did last and showed that they are by no means outclassed by the men trom below. A. E. Bell, the new champion, has been one of the leading players of the coast for years and his victory was a well earn- ed one. He met and defeated all of the best men in the tournament and in the challenge match won without the loss of a set. Bell had two close calls, one in the semi-final round and the other in the final. In both matches his perfect condi- tion pulled him through. The match be- tween Bell and Smith was the only one in the tournament that required the full five sets to settle the question of su- premacy. The “run in” game played by both was exhausting and told more heay- fly on Smith. The latter's service was effective while his strength lasted. Beil serves a fast ball with a high bounce. It is a hard ball to drive, but easy to chop. In the championship match Freeman did not play near the game he put up a year ago. His overhead work was as effective as ever, but in his other strokes he has fallen off considerably. The ex-champion, like George Whitney, has heart trouble, caused by overexertion and it is doubtful if he will ever compete in a champion- ship tournament again. At the net Bell is undoubtedly the best man on the coast, but in the back court he is wofully weak. His best stroke is his ash. Bell's greatest weakness at the het is his handling of low volleys. In his match with Bell Murdock smashed almost as well as his opponent. This has always been the Alamedan’s weakness and consequently his clever work was a surprise. Of the three players Smith is probably the strofigest volleyer, but is weaker in overhead work. The poor back court work of most of the cracks is at- tributable to an extent to the excessive heat. The heat caused the balls to be- come so‘lively as to make it difficult to execute a good ground stroke. Men like MacGavin and Murdock found it hard to drive because the ball became light and instead of dropping sailed through the alr. —_———————— The cries of sea birds, especially se: gulls, are very valuable as fog signals.

Scottish bowling, like the other games played in Golden Gate Park, is becoming immensely popular. The San Francisco club has a membership considerably over one hundred. year ago, and at first did not thrive. As the on-lookers became better acquainted with it the merits of the game soon be- came evident. It is not a violent sport, and is espe- cially adapted to men who are no longer youths. It is played in the open air and pleasant surroundings, and requires con- siderable skill. The rinks are situated near the tennis courts, and are well at- tended, especially late in the afternoons. The game was formally introduced in Oakland on Admission day, and the matches were witnessed by a large num- ber of interested spectators. The open- ing day was given over to an interclub match between the San Francisco and newly organized Oakland club. Although the former won by quite a margin, the Oakland players showed up exceptionally well for their first tournament play. The club has a good start, and, like the San Francisco club, will soon have a large ‘membership list. The tournament which has been in progress for several weeks on the Golden | Gate Park rinks must be finished No- | vember 14. Sixty-four players entered, and as the first round must be completed to-day many matches will be played.

The men are all veterans and do not seem to have any At present greatest loss is that of Fullback McGil- | competitors, though a “phenom” is likel to develop any time. The changes are most likely to occur through the decisions of Mini, More and Heitmuller in regard to their playing. These men made records last year and the college wants them to get Into the game again. It may be they may not be able to withstand the weight of much importuning, in which case the team will be greatly strengthened The freshmen squad has been devoting more attention to the bail and fleld than the varsity. There are fifty of them, all anxious to get a place on the team, which accounts for thelr faithful training. It is impossible to pick a team from the crowd yet so the coaches have been giv- ing them all a chance to show what they can do. TEkere are a number of good players among them but none with a rec- ord that makes him stand out above his fellows. Mini has been helping Coaches Whipple and Hall show the freshmen how to play the game this week. Manager Decoto has arranged with the Stanford representatives the dates for the two big games and Some of the prelim- inary games. The freshmen intercoll glate game will be played on October 17 and the varsity intercollegiate game on November 14 in San Francisco. The first freshmen game will be played with either the Berkeley High School or the Oakland High School on Saturday, the 15th inst. The varsity will play its first game some time near the end of the month with the Reliance team that is being organized by “Pete” Smith. A game has been scheduled for October 24 on the campus against the Chemawa Indians of Oregon. @ it h @ Hutchinson vs. John T. Dare; James W. Elder vs. J. B. Low; Thomas G.
