THE SCENE Deciding Games in Handicap Doubles Tennis Match to Be Played To-Morrow AT S HERE will be but one tournament mateh on the tennis courts this week and that will be the finals of the handicap doubles event com- menced two weeks ago at the park. The contestants will be the Baker brothers ! of Berkeley and Harry Routh and Charles Dunlap of this city. Of the thirty-two | teams entered these two were the only ones to play from scratch. The Bakers went through their half in easy fashion, while Routh and Dunlap in two' cases had an cxceptionally hard time winning. As the teams will meet on even terms the Baker brothers are thought to | have the better chance of winning. Many | are of the opinion that Routh aud Dun- lap should receive a slight handicap. The latter team won the cups once, while the Baker brothers have never be- fore competed for them. Should Routh and Dunlap win to-morrow's match they | will lead in the race for the trophles, needing but one more victory. It will be a five-set match and will commence at 2 p. m. It will be played on the pub- lic courts in Golden Gate Park. The first tournament held on the Cali- fornia Club courts in several months proved a success last Sunday. For an| opening tournament the handicapping was well done. The fact that there were thirteen entries and the event was fin- ished In one day shows how well the committee in charge did its work. This was the first of a series of handi- cap doubles tournaments for the two new silver cups which are to be won three times. They will take the place of the Davis cups, which were won five times by the Bmith brothers. A tournament will be held each month until the trophies are disposed of. In the next tournament Collier and Mitchell will be the only scratch team, as Smith and MacGavin will not play to- gether again in handicap events. Smith will play with his brother, Chester, in future and will probably be placed on the mark with Allen and Hill, who won last Sunday’s tourney. Stringham and Salis- bury will be a new team and will also recelve the same handiacp as Hill and Allen. The poorer teams will be given liberal handicaps, as they were last Sun- day. As the California Club now has many active women players several tourna- ments will be held for them. Many new players will join the club shortly and with those already members will make a large entry list in future tournaments. There will be a meeting of the board of direetors of the California Tennis Club Monday night. Officers will be elected and committees and delegates appointed. The club wili have three delegates to the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Assoclation. Injured Jockey Is 5 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2—Jockey Willlam Shea, who was injured in an accident at Delmar track Wednesday afternoon, died at the Missourl Baptist Santitarium early to-day from concussion of the brain. He never regained vonsciousness after the ac- cident. CORBETT'S RECORD IS FANS’ TOPIC Prolonged Season of the Pacific Coast League May Injure National Pastime S e ITCHER JOE CORBETT of the Los P Angeles baseball team is perhaps the only man in the business who ever retired from the game for a number of years and then made good on his return. Corbett's great pitching during the last two months has brought him into prominence all over the coun- try and by next season the California boy will be in great demand by some of | the magnates in the East. When Corbett got into the game this season, after an absence of six years, the majority of the fans thought it was a huge joke. Not one man in ten conceded Joe had a chance of making good. When showing anything like his ancient form no one thought he would do, but at the present time he is considered the best pitcher in the Pacific Coasé League. Big Hall of the Los Angeles team was thought to be a real miracle for the time being, but since he has been getting his bumps right along the opinion of the fans has changed. It {s~funny how they have got on to Hall suddenly. He has not won a game for a long time. He is always beaten by a wide margin. If Morley keeps his team together next season he will win and no one can dispute that. The Angels to-day are a crowd of fast ball tossers and they conld run In almost any com- pany. The chances are the Los Angeles magnate will have nearly all the same faces again during the coming season, so he is sure to be hot after the pennant. The long drawn out season is be- ginning to have 1ts effect here. The fans of San Francisco are getting too much baseball. They have begun to lose in- terest in the game. So far as the flag race goes, it is all over and has been for the last two months. Still we have base- ball every day in the week but one and it will continue for two months. This long drawn out season is lable to effect the sport next year and in other seasons to come. The people may like it for a while, but they will become tired of it sooner or later, and when other at- tractions come to the front they will in all probability abandon the baseball park and turn their attention to something else. Charley Irwin met with his first ac dent of the season on Thursday, when he was hit by a pitched ball. This is certainly a piece of hard luck, consider- ing that the gritty player braved all ki of accidents during the season, only to be injured when the danger point was all but passed. It was one of the chances of baseball and was unavoidable. —_————— Fire Commissioners Meet.

With but two weeks to prepare for | the freshmen to meet the California | youngsters, things do not look bright for | the cardinal, | Only two preliminary games have been | played by the freshman eleven up to the | present time, so there has been little op- portunity to judge of its real strength. | The showing made in those two: contests, | however, was discouraging. An almost | absolute lack of speed and team work was | noticeable, but this condition may be at-| tributed largely to the fact that the| coachers have paid practically no atten- | three weeks. The coachers have begun to | devote more of thelr time to the '07 team | and hereafter will drill the freshmen ex- clusively for a half hour or more each afternoon before the varsity candidates appear on the fleld, besides dividing their attention with them during the regular | practice perfod. The poor showing made in the games partly to the fact that a number of the | best players among the first year men did | not go into the contests. Outside the freshmen, there are so comparatively few candidates on the fleld that the coachers have found it necessary to remove som '07 gien from the freshman squa and put thém with the varsity candidates | in order to have two good teams to pit | against each other. ‘The men on this gridiron have been al- most immune from accidents up to the present time—a result probably due to the | thick coating of saw dust on the fleld | and also to the fact that Coach Lanagan has insisted on the men taking the utmost | precaution in the way of padding, shin| guards, ankle braces and the like. With | all this care two promising freshmen, Morphino at center and Minturn at half, have sustained injuries that may keep | them off the gridiron the remainder of the season. Morphino has a broken collar bone and Minturn a badly injured arm. Crutcher and Goudy of the '07 squad have | been forbidden to play by the resident | university physician. Goudy was putting up a hard game at right half and looked a likely man for the position. While the freshmen seem in a slump, | the varsity men are certainly improving | both in speed and team work. The cold, | snappy weather during the week has put the big fellows on their mettle and every night sees hard fought scrimmages be- tween the two elevens. The fact that so few places on the big team can be con- | sidered ‘“‘cinched” makes the rivailry | among the candidates particularly keen. | The fight for end positions promises to | be one of the most interesting of the sea- | son. George Clark, star end on last year's | team, has not entered the game and the struggle goes merrily on among a half dozen or more aspirants for the two pos tions. Preston, '04, who earned h S | as substitute end two years ago, Is mak- ing a strong bld for one of the positions. | Butterfield, Staniford and Wilbur of last season’s second eleven, and Smith, a new | man, are also showing up well. Any or | all of them may be seen in the game with | California in November. @ il @ made the following scores: Stahl, b..Fort- mann, Banner, c. and b. Lannowe, 1; Von Tagen, b. Fortmann, ‘4; Irish, b.

Fort- mann bowled 43 balls, taking 3 wickets; | Lannowe bowled 42, taking 3 wickets; Ben- nion bowled 27, taking 1 wicket; Willlam- son 12 and Petherick 12 . Of the five encounters that have taken | place this year between the Alameda and Pacific elevens the former won the first three and the latter’ the last two. ——————— Court Modifles Mahony’s Injunction.

ERKELEY, Oct, 2—-The most sig- B nificant event In football at the Uni- versity of California this weck the return of Mint and John More to the gridiron.

More, after hesitat- ing for a month, has put.on the uniform again. He will try for quarterback. The return of these men to the complicates mattess somewhat In varsity team and makes it harder for the coaches to pick the best men. Min! wiil- not have an easy time. regalning his ¢ Place, as he has two speedy. competitors In Risley and Graves, both of whom have bad the experience that comes with past seasons. More will have to fight it out. with Bel knap and Geary for quarter. ‘Both of these little fellows have been playing steadily and just now are better qualified for the place than More. . More has beer giving the signals for three years, how ever, and the charnces are that after a little training he will get back into his old form. A halfback who is likely té give Muther and Whipple a rub for right half is Sred- igar, who showed such good form thls week that he was taken out of the sec- ond eleven and put into the first. Snedi- gar is fast on his feet, is a quick thinker and stands a good charice for making the varsity team. This has been a disastrous week for three or four o varsity men. Stroud and Overall have injured ankies and Stow and Sterns injured knees, the last named having contracted water on the joint. The incapacity of these men is not sxpected, however, to Interfers with their playing In the game against the naval . school team to-day on the Berkeley campus. The freshman team does not seem to have swung into its proper gait yet. It has won all its games, but not with eneugh margin to warrant the statemeat that It is as good as Stanford's {reshman eleven. It will likely be much improved, however, before the intercolleglate game is played on the 19th inst. There have been no important changes in the line-up of the team during the week. About the only changes made are those due to accidents. The most serious of these is the loss of Allen, the big right guard, -through an injury to his knee. Caminetti, who.had a good chance to play at left end, has been attacked by appel- dicitis and 18 spending his time in a hos=- pital. He will not be able to play again tkis season. Theré is a chance that Boothe, who is a promising fullback, w!ll be put on the eli- gible list of players. On s:xcount of tha limited number of his studies he was left out of the list sent to Stanford, but”it is probable the matter may be adjusted with the Belmont Schoel, of which ie was a member. fold th e — | LACROSSE TEAMS MATCHED TO PLAY AT SAN MATEO California Association Intends to Bring the Champions of Brit- ish Columbia to This City.
