United States Immigrant Commis- sioner Hart H. North returned yesterday from Washington, where he had been at- tending & convention of immigrant com- missioners assembled to discuss ways and means for the improvement of the service. The convention was brought to an abrupt termination by the selzure of Commissioner General Frank P. Sargent with a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. North visited the Federal immi- grant stations at New York, Boston, ‘Winnipeg. Vancouver and Montreal to | study the system of management at those points. In response to the joint | recommendation of Messrs. North and | Bargent, Benator Perkins has introduced a bill in Congress to appropriate $200,000 for the erection of a Federal immigrant station on Angel Island, and Mr. North believes that the bill will certainly be sdopted. Included in the items of ex- pense are a wharf end a separate station on the island for Chinese immigrants, ————— Olympic Club Bonds. There was a special meeting of bond- holders of the Olympic Club last Wednesday night in the beautiful red room of that institution. President ‘William Greer Harrison surprised the interested partles with the announce- ment that the club was in a prosperous condition and would during the next five years pay the bondholders 71 per cent interest instead of § per cent, as called for in the bonds. Mr. Harrison said this was done in recognition of the great kindness done the club by the holders of bonds, who refused to accept interest on the bonds for five years. Beven-eights of the bondholders sign- ed a paper accepting the offer of the club and it was ratified at the meeting. A vote of thanks was extended the di- rectors for their action. ———,— e Seventy-seven per cent of the women #nd only’ 62 par cent of the men taking the civil service examination are able to Jare it Sensation { GREYHOUNDS OF THE EAST ARRIVE- HERE Strong Kennels Will Soon Oppose the Crack Repre- sentatives of the Coast 2o Special Meeting of Inter- State Club Is Called to Arrange for Rich Stake P ESEAR, The invasion of the coursing fields of Califcrnia by Eastern leashmen and their greyhounds has set in in earnest. Peter Olma, having in charge eght greyhounds from the kennel of Cecil Lych of Sherman, Tex., arrived on e - | | | 23 < Thursday. He was followed vesterday by Blake and Smith of Monwana with ¢aeir string. Among them are Northern Express and Celtic, two oi the crack | greyhounds of t middle West. The firm was unfortunate in ..sing their dog Confidence recentlys at Oklg- homa. He met Quicksand in the decid¥| ing course of a ztake. Yhen the hare was about to escape some bystander threw » s*ick at it. The missile hit the dog instead of the hare, causing injur- ies “rom which it died. E. M. Kellogg of Towa will start for this city on Monday with Joe Casha, Frisco and other fliers. As all these men are particularly anx- ious to start representatives for the John Grace challenge cup, the date for | its running has been put off one week. | It will be run at Union Park on De- | cember 12 and 13 and will mark the re- opening of the San Mateo County Park. A special meeting of the Interstate Coursing Club, under whose auspices | the stake is run annually, will be held | at Fythian Castle on Tuesday evening. | At this meeting all detalls of prlza!‘ and other conditions covering the cup contest will be decided upon. In addition to the loss of Confidence Blake and Smith have also lost .the English dog Parton. Heart disease carried him off. He was one of the best bred dogs in this country. The coursing men of England are deeply interested in a sporting match made by the Duke of Leeds and Lord Sefton, two of the most prominent pa- trons of the sport in the United King- dom. Two pupples from thelir powerful kennels were matched for a $500 trophy last spring, but. the Duke of Leeds’ representative went amiss. The match | was then declared off by mutual con- | sext. New conditions govern the pres- | ent match. Each owner is allowed to | run the pick of his kennel whether it be a puppy or an aged greyhound. The contest is limited to one course. Coursing will be resumed at Stock- ton to-morrow and will be cofitinued throughout the winter. NINETY-SIX DOGS ENTERED. Ingleside Coursing Park Stake At- tracts Some High-Class Hounds. The stake at Ingleside Coursing Park this week attracted an entry of ninety- six greyhounds. The first pair of dogs will be ‘slipped to-day at 11:30. The coursing will be resumed te-morrow. The total prize money is $830. The draw last night resulted as follows: Ninety-six dog open stake—Firm Fellow vs. Dorothy M: Monbells vs. Loretta; Dartaway vs. Biskiyou; Gold Idly v Little Plunger: Linda Vista vs. Boots; Equator vs, Yellow tail; Adonis vs. Mellinwood; Doreen ‘vs. Mald of the Glen; Yankee Boy vs. Orsina: Bril- liancy vs. Pasha Pleasant: Remisso Animo ve.

F. P. Skelly, residing at 1241 Filbert street, while on a Market street car yesterday was startled to find a man picking his pocket. Skelly did not hes- itate, but grabbed the fellow, who was given into custody. He says his name is William McCann. A charge of grand larceny was entered him. - AR ST ST [T !

EST HEADED DOG OF H}S TES, CHAMPION FERA AND e | GOLFERS FIND COMPETITION - AT PRESIDIO Interesting Matches for Men and Women on the Cards for the Coming Week On the Presidio golf course this after- noon there will be mixed foursomes, over eighteen holes, medal play, with handicap, beginning at 2 o'clock. This event was to have taken place last Sat- urday, but bad weather prevented. The following couples have already entered the event: Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Clark, R. Gilman Brown and Mrs. Brown, Miss Chesebrough and E. R. Folger, Miss Alice Hager and Henry M. Hoyt, Mrs. E. S. Miller and S. L. Abbot Jr., Miss Alice Hoffman and J. W. Byrne, A. M. Shiels and Mrs. Shiels. It is probable that more players will pair off this afternoon. There are several strong pairs in the list and a close con- test should result. The prizes for the winning couple are two handsome pewter trophies. The tie between R. Gilman Brown, Rolla V. Watt, Charles Page and Leon- ard Chenery for eighth place in the opening match round of the competition for the Council's cup for men of the San Francisco Golf Club, will be de- cided this afternoon, holes being played until three of the four have dropped cut. The winner will take eighth place in the gualifying round and will play against Lieutenant J. S. Oyster, No. 1 being drawn against No. 65 No. 2 against No. 6, No. $ against No. 7 and Nos 4 against No. 8." The matches in the opening round must be completed within one week. On Tuesday morning, December 1, the ladles of the San Francisco Golf Club will hold the qualifying round, over eighteen holes, of a competition for the Council's cup for women. Un- less eight or more qualify for the event the competition will be postponed. Among the ladies likely to take part in the qualifying round are Miss Edith Chesebrough, Mrs. E. 8. Miller, Miss Alice Hoffman, Mrs. J. R. Clark, Mrs. Leroy Nickel, Miss Alice Hager, Mrs. R. Gilman Brown, Miss M. B. Hough- ton and Mrs. A. M. Shiels. The eight ladies who qualify will take part in the opening match play round on Wednes- day, and the four winners will play in the second or semi-final round on Thursday, On Friday morning the final round will be played. On Thanksgiving day there were two handicap events on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club. Six ladies played in a woman’'s handicap over nine holes. the winner being Mrs. E. J. Hooper with a score of 71 less 20, net 51. Mrs. J. J. Crooks was seécond with a net score of 57. Twelve players entered the eighteen-hole handicap for men, J. J. Crocks proving the winner with a gross BALL CRANKS WILL HAVE A NEEDED REST Curtain Rings Down on the Present Baseball Sea- son Tc-Morrow Afternocon When the last man is put out in to- morrow's game the curtaif will be rung down on ‘baseball in this city for a period of four months, during which time the admirers of the national pas- time will have an opportunity to cease | worrying about the fate of the home team and sit about the family fireside and tell of the way Pat Meany was wont to line 'em out or how Doc New- ton often tossed the leather over the rubber at breakneck speed. The managers of the various teams will immediately proceed to get busy signing up likely talent for the season of 1904. They will have to do some lively hustling, for with six clubs in the Pacific Coast League there is need of good men, far better than many al- leged stars who have performed in this organization this year, taking money | under false pretenses. As usual, each magnate vow4 his team will be one something after the plan of Jimmy Colling’ Boston Ameri- ean League bunch. We will hear how Mr. So-and-so has been signed at a fancy salary and, of course, when he arrives here nine times out of ten he proves a gilded bar and not a ball player at all. If we do not have a good ball team in San Francisco next year we will at least have a swell ball park. The re- cent gentle raindrops which have fall- en on the grass at Reereation Park have brought forth a beautiful crop of real verdure. With a little fixing and a long rest the Eighth-street diamond will be one of beauty as well as of ser- vice, Out at the Presidio they have a ball team that is alleged to be one of the best ever seen in these parts and Man- ager Joe Wagner says he will play any of them for $1000 a side. Wagner's bunch has nailed everything that has shown so far and so decisively that the team is in a class by itself. Last night the warrior ball tossers left for a two days’ trip to Monterey, where they will endeavor to scalp a couple of crack military nines on the field at the Hotel Del Monte. The of- ficers around Monterey barracks will make the affair a society function and when the two -rival organizations mix it on the diamond to-day and to-mor- row the .elect and select of the army circles will be there to yell and cheer for the men who can play ball as well as they can fight. @ ieievimieiieiiuepjeirepieleeieei- @ and net score of 102. R. J. Davis, also playing scratch, was second with a gross and net score of 104. The win- ners in both events received prizes. DUCKS DEPART FROM THEIR KNOWN HAUNTS Owners of Preserves on the Marshes of Alameda and Suisun Have Poor Sfiort; e g The owners of duck shooting pre- serves are having poor sport on the | marshes at present, the birds having disappeared from their ususi haunts. | There is said not to be a duck in sight at present on the Alameda marsh. The San Joaquin Valley about Banta and all that district where the recent rains have started the gras¢ growing provide feed for great numbers of ducks. . The Chain of Lakes in Golden Gate Park is a favorite wasting place for ducks at present, large numbers of mallards being seen there. 5 From all accounts the Empire Gun | Club men had the best of the shooting on their Monterey preserve last Sun- day. Three hundred and thirty-three birds fell to fourteen guns. J. B. Hauer and F. Blgir Turpin secured limit bags. Mr. Hauer's was made up of forty-five teal, five mallards and two English snipe. In Mr. Turpin's big string was one spoonbill, which he says does not count. The party at the shooting lodge included J. B, Hauer, F. S. Judah, Dr. George G. Gere, C. A. Bennett, F. Blair Trupin, W. O. Cullen, L. H. Allen, J. S. Brownell, . S. Aubert, J. Peltier, Dr. C. C. Payne, George A. Batchelder, T. C. Van Ness Jr. and F. H. Mayer. A much smaller party will go down to-day. It includes Con Roman, J. Pel- tier, Bert Patrick and Dr. Gere. Messrs. Judah, Sylvester and Pat- rick shot over the preserve Thanksgiv- ing day, getting fair returns. Mr. Ju- dah brought down a swan, the first seen on the preserve. The Suisun marshes have yielded poor sport recently. The same condi- tion prevails on the San Mateo marsh. This is a favorite place for the unat- tached gunmen, as it i8 easy of access by the electric cars. A. F. Hopke, C. C. Mc%ahon and Captain Stinson will shost over thd Field and Tule Club preserve to-mor- row. Otto Feudner and two friends will visit the Stewart pond, which in- variably affords rare sport. ——— . Sentenced for Burglary. George Davis and Thomas Corcoran appeared for sentence before Judge Cook yesterday on a charge of burg- lary. They entered the room of Annie Liedner, 889% Fifth street, on the night of March 26 and stole some of her clothing. Davls, who had a prior con- viction against him for petty larceny, was sentenced to serve ten years in San Quentin, and Corcoran, who plead- ed guilty, was sentenced to serve five years. ’ —_—— A man well or ill as he thinks him- melf- ? I TOURNAMENT PLAY HOLDS TENNIS: MEN .- With Two Clubs Promoting Matches Devotees Are Kept in Action on the Courts i nas b naments once a month each the players are engaged in tournament play the greater part of the time. This is un- doubtably the livliest winter in tennis eircles on record. The California Club has taken a new lease of life and big changes are noticeable on the grounds. The tournnament committee, which was recently appointed for the year, is are being handled in an efficient man- ner. The handicapping is another mat- ter the committee gives much time to and the results on Thursday show the time has not been wasted. The com- mittee ‘is composed of Frank String- ham, WIill Allen and Chester Smith. Aonother man to whom credit is due for the pleasing state of affairs at the club is John Oliver, the new court- keeper. Mr. Oliver has had consider- able experience in the East and Canada and most of the improvements are due to him. The club is fildng up rapidly and has almost reached its limit of 200 members. It is expected there will be a waiting list by the first of the year. The handicap singles tournament, commenced on the club courts Thurs- day, was the most successful held in years. Eight players are left to com- pete to-morrow for the four prizes. These eight represent all the different classes and as the handicapping has been carefully attended to all of them should prove close. Joseph S. Tobin, the old-timer, was the star on Thursday and many pick him to win to-day. Tobin is an easy, graceful player. He is not brilliant, but uses good judgment and is as steady as a clock. He has only a small handicap, but will make good use of it. The men will oppose each other as follows: Harry Rolfe (scratch) vs. Ray Spilvalo (scratch); Joseph S. Tobin (owe 2-6) vs. Will Allen (owe 15); Drum- mond MacGavin (owe 15) vs. Alden Ames (154-6); Herbert Schmidt (owe 1-8) vs. Charles G. Kuehn (4-6). Spilvalo caused quite a surprise by the game he put up Thursday. He is, however, not in as good practice as Rolfe and the latter ought to win. The match between Tobin and Allen should prove the best in this round. Many think Tobin would stand a good chance of beating Allen on even terms. The latter will allow odds of “owe 4-6." He has shown his ability to play un- der handicap conditions many times in the past. Tobin beat Mitchell with the same odds and Mitchell is considered a better player than Allen. MacGavin should beat Ames, but will have a hard time doing so, as the odds allowed are liberal.

Russell, | outside right. | The Thistle eleven has consented to play over the match against the Oak- | land Hornets, which was declared for- feited to the Thistles by Referee C. W Irish on the 22d inst. at Idora Park Oakland, because the ground, which is the home one of the Hornets, was not in proper order for play. The match will take place on some day in February next. This is generous and sportsmanlike, as the Thistles won the game played at Idora Park 2 goals to 1 and could claim a victory on two grounds. .. SCOTTISH BOWLERS PLAN ANOTHER BIG TOURNAMENT It Will Possibly Be for Teams of Either Two or Four | Men. The annual meeting of the San Fran- | cisco Seotish Bowling Club will be held | next Thursday, when an election of of- ficers for the ensuing year will take place. Arrangements will also be made for another tournament. As the one | new all but finished is a single, prob- ably some other form of play will be indulged in, either two or four on a side. The tournament that has been in progress for several months will be completed to-day, when the final match will be played in Golden Gate Park The contestants will be James Gray and J. C. Moffit. Each has gone through his half of the tournament cleverly and the experts look for a close struggle The return match between the Oak land and the San Francisco bowlers last Thursday was a marked success. San Francisco won again, but by small margin. The home men did not put in their strongest sixteen, but the second sixteen proved just strong enough to beat out Oakland's sixteen players. The latter showed great im- provement over their play of a few weeks ago. It is the intention of the two clubs to hold many interclub meet. ings in the future. L s aad ] Schmidt match will probably be ciose. If Schmidt plays a steady game he will win, but if he is wild Kuehn, who makes few errors, will beat him. . Play will commence to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. The final match will be played at 2:30. The four reach- ing the semi-finals will receive prizes. But little of the first and foarth classes were played at the park last Sunday on account of the rain. The park players have decided to postpone their matches a week, owing to the fact that Allen and MacGavin, two of the best men in the first class, will be engaged at the California Club courts to-morrow. The first class will go over until a week from to-morrow. The fourth class will probably be finished to-day. s In the mixed doubles tournament on Thursday two of the women players showed up particularly strong. They| are Miss Hazel Hotchkiss and Miss Ethel Ratcliffe, both of Berkeley. They have improved wonderfully in the last year and if their improvenent is kept up the north may hope to make at least a good showing against the famous Suttons when they come htre again, FAMOUS SETTERS FOR THE BENCH SHOW
