STOR UNIVERSITY HICKTING ~ OFF | TOURNAMENT PLAY REACHES POINT OF EXCITEMENT SRty Lo | Ten Racket Wielders Remain to Compete for Honors on the Public Courts . HE largest tennis tournament ever held on the coast will be brought to a close to-morrow on the Golden Gate Park courts. Of the original 104 en- tries but ten are left. Although the handi capper was liberal with his odds only the s have survived. J. D. Mac- Gavin and Will Allen, two of the most heavi handicapped men, are still in it and stand a good chance of meeting in the semi-finals. The match would un- doubtedly result in a victory for Mac- | Gavin. The first match will be an uncompleted one between J. A. Code and Horace Mann Jr. Both are playing from scratch and each has won a set from'the other. The third and deciding set will be played to- morrow morning. The wimfér will make the eighth man in the fourth round and will recelve a prize. He will be pitted against George Baker, who will concede odds of “owe 5-6.”” Baker should win this match with little difficulty. The first match in this round will be between Guy Lytton and Herbert Long. The latter is called upon to give Lytton a handicap of “3-6”" Long is an erratic player, but if he plays anything like his game he should dispose of Lytton in short order. The match between Will Allen and Neil Baker will undoubtedly be a good one. Allen will allow odds of “owe. 15 2-6" and will have his hands full doing so. Baker plays a game that is better suited to handicap conditions than almost any one in the tournament. While he is not as brilliant a player as Allen he is steadler, His only troke in the back court is a lob, and Al- en will have trouble handling it. At the net Baker seldom kills, but when the time comes cuts them off cleverly. Another match that will be a good one and one full of action will be that between Drummond MacGavin and George Janes. Both players hit the balls hard and take chances. With the same odds allowed Baker, Janes undoubtedly has a chance to beat the scratch man. MacGavin, how- ever, 1s playing a fine game, and unless he is badly off in his play should win the tournament. Clarence Griffin, who will probably play George Baker, should not be overlooked. The youngster has been rather heavily handicapped, but is improving rapidly and will surely give a good account of himself. The men will oppose each other as follows: Herbert Long (3-6) vs. Guy Lytton (15), Clarence Griffin (owe 2-6) vs, George Baker (owe 5-6) or the winner of the Mann-Code match (both scratch), Neil Baker (scratch) vs. Will Allen (owe 1526), J. D. MacGavin (owe 15 vs. George Janes (scratch). The final match will be played at 2:30 o’clock and will con- sist of three sets out of five. The second handicap doubles tourna- ment, set for to-morrow on the Califor- nia Club courts, has been postponed one week. This was necessary because three of the players who are expected to figure in the event are to play in the park tour. nament. Many new teams will play next Sunday, and as’ the handicapping will be carefully done some good, matches are ~- . Aanticipated. & ¥ PLAYERS OF RIVAL UNIVERSITIES WHO ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUPY A PROMINENT POSITION ON THE | GRIDIRON DURING THE IMPORTANT FOOTBALL CONTESTS WHICH REMAIN TO BE PLAYED AND | WHICH END WITH THE INTERCOLLEGIATE MATCH. | | — | CROCKER TROPHY DRAWS ENTRY OF TWENTY HOUNDS Artistic Cup Will Be Com- peted For To-Morrow at Ingleside Coursing Park; HE artistic silver trophy presented by TH"nry J.

The next of the classic coursing events will be the junior champion stake, which will be held at Unfon Coursing Park on Novémber 1. All the Futurity candidates are eligible, as well as pupples whelped in October, November and December, 1901. Among the starters will probably be Quito, Charter Member and Rapid Water, by Rocker-Little Wonder, which were not listed in the Futurity, but which give promise of being great greyhounds. Con- cord Tralce, a brother of the Futurity winner, will also start. T. J. Cronin expects to have Fair Tralee ready to do himself justice. McVey, Mi Amigo and ‘ others will have another chance with hounds .of their own age. Among the eligibles are also Rockefeller, Rock and Rye, Special, Yankee Boy and Nob HilL - There is also the Rock Island King-Irma litter, which hds performed so well in Los Angeles. W. C. Collier has registered a black greyhound, which he has named Harry Corbett imp. Some months since the dog, which is solid black, was sent from Aus- tralia to the sporting man’ whose name he bears. He was sent off to the country and has developed into a fine looking youngster. He is by Black Douglas- Rowena, and is of the best Australian breeding. His sire and dam have won many stakes. He is 14 months old and ‘will be started soon. 45 05 T. E.

The best shooting was on the Alviso and Alvarado marshes, where ducks were found in profusion The {ntense heat at several points was agalnst the sportsmen. It also had an ef- fect on the birds, many of which were spoiled. The bay is filled with ducks, and it needs only a severe storm to set them in motion. This would also bring in the | northern birds in greater numbers. It is the general opinion that better sport will be afforded this season than has been en- joyed in many years. The ducks are more numerous, and the ‘“cans” and other birds are appearing unusually early, One of the most unique clubs in this State is the Montezuma Gun Club. It is the only “family” club in this district, the wives of four of the members being ardent sportswomen in the fleld and on the stream. The club is made up of J. F. Nickels, " president; T. J. Walsh, treas- urer; H. C. Wyman, secretary; W. W. Richards, W. C. Swain and P. J. Code Jr. Mrs. Walsh, Mrs. Wyman, Mrs. Nickels and Mrs. Richards all shoot over the club preserve at Collinsville, Solano County, having the same privileges as the men. The' joint bag on opening day was 300 birds, ‘including some twenty-five “cans.” The preserve consists of 700 acres and in- cludes a snipe patch three-quarters of a mile long. Each lady shoots from a sepa- rate blind and over her own decoys. The largest pond is about a mile in circumfer- ence. It affords magnificent canvasback shooting from November on through the entire season. The club members marked the opening of ‘the season with an enjoy- able banquet at their clubhouse. The heat on the Monterey preserve of the Empire Gun Club last Sunday had a bad effect on the shooting. The men who sought quall were nearly prostrated and abandoned the sport at an early hour. | With cool weather and an easterly wind the members expect fine shooting on their fresh water ponds, which are already at- tracting toe ducks. Among the members who expect to go down to-day are F. S. Judah, Dr. Parent, Dr. Alden, Dr. Gere, Mr. Bennett, Frank Mayer, Mr. McRos- key, Stephen T. Britten, E. R. _.Ms, Dr. A.:J. Sylvester, T. C. Van Ness Jr., F. B. Schwerin and J. S. Brownell. W. w. Van Arsdale will be down next Wednesday with some of his celebrated setters for a day after quail. These game birds are plentiful. 8 Otto Feudner and Ed Feudner shot ovet the famous Stewart pond again on Sun- day and bagged the limit on ducks. Among them were a number of canvas- backs in prime condition. Up in Sutter County the ‘‘cans” are more numerous now than they have ever been in previous years at the height of the season. George Ohleyer bagged fitty in one day recently. are unusually plentiful, a good shot being able to bring down 500 if he had such murderous ten- dencies, » Fred t::hm and iufll.-fllckmn se- cured it on g t at Bolinas. i g l | won during the season by the boats of the BOYTNGTON UNIVERSITS>CALIFORNIA 4 | PLEASURE FLEET ITS WHITE WINGS ——— i WILL SOON FOLD | | | | | | Three Yacht Clubs of Bay Hold Closing Jinks and | | Supper§ of Present Year| etk G, LL three senior yacht clubs of the bay will hold their closing entertain- \ ment to-night and their closing | cruises to-morrow.

The members of the Corinthian Yacht Club will enjoy a closing supper and en- tertainment to-night at their quarters at Tiburon. On the arrival of the 6:30 p>m. ferry-boat from San Francisco a supper of the good old Corinthian sort will be served the members. This will be fol- lowed by a vaudeville entertainment un- der the direction of the jinks committee. To-morrow the closing crulse will be tak- en under the command of Commodore E. F. Bager. The members of the California Yacht Club will ‘hold an impromptu jinks to- night, beginning at 8 o'clock, in their clubhouse on Oakland Creek, music be- ing furnished by the club orchestra. Re- freshments will be served during the evening and at 10:30 p. m. there will be a supper of clam chowder, hardtack and coffee. To-morrow morning at 10 o'clock | the fleet will start on the last cruise of | the season on signal from Commodore George M. Shaw's yawl Idler, the flag- ship. The fleet will cruise over to the city front and thence toward the heads, in company with the fleet of the San Francisco and Corinthfan yacht clubs. During the progress of the jinks on Sat urday night the trophies and prize flags California fleet in club regattas will be distributed to the winners. The Vin- cent handicap cup and a first pennant will be handed over to Robert Vincent, owner of the vawl Iola, winner of the handicap race. C. E. Clark’s yawl Gyp- sie will receive a second pennant, and S. 8. Marshall's sloop Thelma a third pen- | nant.. For the special yawl race Julian | Altendort’'s yawl Pilgrim wins a silver cup and first-class pennant; C. E. Clark's yawl Gypsie takes a silver cup i'nd sec- ond class pennant, while 8. S. Marshall's sloop Thelma, as the winner of the din- ner race, recelves a speclal .ag. A few of the California yachts will be laid up at once for the winter, but most of the owners will keep their craft in commission for duck shooting. Charles C. Bruce, first officer of the steamer South Portland, who rendered such good service to the shipwrecked passengers and crew, was commodore of the California Yacht Club in 1895, his | flagship being the well known sloop Ro- | ver. Curlously enough, it was reported | last Saturday that the sloop Rover had been lost in the fog on the ocean. The report was erroneous. Robert Vincent of the yawl Tola, during a trip up the Sacramento River in Sep- tember, got a touch of malarial fever and has been lald up, but is now recovering | his health. The vawl Iola, in company with the yawls Pilgrim and Nereid, crufs- ed along the city front last Sunday. Jack London was also out for a cruise in his sloop Spray. Julius E. Bach’s sloop Catuerine, which has been mogred in Tiburon Cove during the summer, is ly- | Ing off the California clubhouse. Lee Gale's sloop Secret returned on Sunday from a hunting trip in the lower bay. The flagship ldler started about 2 o'clock last Saturday afternoon for McNears, | but after drifting with the ebb tide nearly to the light at the entrance to Oakland Creek, met the flood tide and dropped an- chor. At 1l p. m. A. M. Clay's Pactolus came along on the ebb and the Idler, making sail, drifted out to the broad gauge mole and came to anchor. On Sunday morning the yachts cruised to leeward of Goat Island and out to Fort | Point, where they found a fog coming in. Putting about, they ran home to their moorings without having had any chance of reaching the Tendezvous at McNears, Several of the Corinthian yachts will not go into the lagoon when the bridge is raised next month. The sloops Edna, Belle, Josie and Cupid, with Commodore R. §. Bridgman's Thetis, will probably be hauled out on Anderson's ways at South San Francisco. Frank Stone’s Pres- to and J. W. Pew's Truant will be laid up at Stone’s yard near the Fulton Iron I | Vampir | Churchin, | San Francisco. On Sunday the last sched- | | terday sued J. H.

Many of the b players who were members last season of the clubs that have now gone out of existence have join- ed other teams. Douglas Erskine, who | played once or twice with the American- British Rifles having is in the Oakland Hornets, become a resident Oakland. one of the forwards of the has joined the Albion Rovers. Shand, formerly center of the Rifles, with “Percy” Chambers, the brilliant half- back, is in the Oakland Hornets. Forrest and Lydon of the Rifles have joined the Rifles, Thistles, while Willilamson, McKay and Harry Bird have become members of the Oakland Hornets. “Doc” Leahy is Spokane, and Connolly is under susper sion until after the first league match. Edgar Pomeroy, the weil known mem- ber of the Rifles’ team, is in the Oaklan Hornets. O'Shaughnessy and Bo have joined the Occidentals. Hodge and Murray have not given their names in to any club as yet. The Holland brothers are in the Oceidental Club, while the e "ay brothers have become Independents. Most of the players of the former San Francisco Club are Independents. Hooker. one of the mest brilllant .forwards of last season, is in Victoria, B. C., where he is playing on a team. The Albion Rovers have lost the se s of Grantham. who met with a severe accident recently At the annual meeting of the Californ EY Assocfation Football League there much discussion as to the composition of the executive committee. It was at last decided it should consist of the delegates sent by each club, with the president, sec- Tetary and treasurer of the league. In - case of a tle vote, the president is to have a vote. The following are the officers for the coming year of the California Asso- clation Football League: President, Ta- llesin Evans: vice presidents, Frank Jones, P. E. Bowles and J. A. Barlow: secretary, Henry Roberts of the Califor- nia Association Football Referees’ Unlon; treasurer, L. R. Gilchrest of the Albion Rovers. The executive committee consists was of J. R. Robertson of the Vampires, chair- man; T. Hunter of the Thistles, Willlamson of the Pickwicks, Owens of the Independents, J. J. H W, E. Congden of the Occidentals and T. D.

The Alblon Rovers are drawn against the Oakland Hornets at Idora Park, Oakland. The Thistles will try conclusions with the In- dependents at the Presidio Athletie Grounds. The Vampires will play the Oc- cidentals on the cricket ground at Web- ster street, Alameda. The committee charged with the task of preparing a conmstitution and bylaws for the California Association Football Union consists of J. Michaels, Douglas Erskine, T. Congdon, H. Willlamson and Andre A. Glarner. —_——— Big Bag of Game. Robert Smyth and E. H. Plant shot over Plant’s ranch, near Rio Vista, on opening day and bagged 17 geese and ducks. Al- though the thermometer registered 102 de- grees the gunmen never saw such fine shooting before. There was only one drawback—the birds spoiled before they could get them home. Fred Butler, Frank Maskey and Frank Vernon, three of the regulars at Point secured the limit on quail there ‘eek. The ducks have not come in there yet. Most of the quail grounds are preserved, but there is still some open territory. —— Barton Sues for Damages.
