While Am- brose has a good chance with Janes, the latter will undoubtedly be favor- fte. Ambrose is steady, while Janes is erratic Y In the third class two men who have been unheard of heretofore will meet in the finals. Brabant, a recent | arrival from New Zealand, where he held the championship, will meet Harold Gabriel. The latter is a youngster o received his tennis education on the California Club courts. He is a little short on expe- rience, but plays a clever game and won all his matches thus far easily. In the fourth class Skaggs and Gue- will contend for final honors. These two players have met many times and the honors are about even. —_— .

CAEOLN WELL-KNOWN POLO PLAYERS OF BURLINGAME COUNTRY CLL'.B FOREMOST IN REVIVING THE GAME ON THIS COAST XPECT THIS SEASON WHO ARF AND WHO - — TO BE A RECORD BREAKER. |SEEK TO REVIVE FORMER GLORIES OF HORSE SHOW —— With the Renewed interest in Sport at Burlingame Comes Exhibition = Talk s There is a noticeable quickening of interest in the horse at the Burlingame Country Club in recent months, due chiefly to the energy with which the polo players have been preparing for and bave opened their season. Ponies are seen in every direction, and vet the demand for these animals is 80 great it cannot be supplied. Soon the foreign players are due here, and when they arrive the struggles on the field wiil take on an international air. The play up to the present time has been unusually fast. When the ponies reach their best condition the standard will be still higher. A match will be played to-morrow on- Mr. Carolan's field. With the renewed interest in polo comes a renewed interest in the horse generally. Already some men are talk- ing of the possibility of a4 horse show. The memory of the disastfous show held at Tanforan three years &go is fading, and a show in Mechanics' Pa- vilion at some future day seems as- sured. The outdoor shows at Burlin- game were always a success, although the entries were usually confined to owners residing in San Mateo County. The show was not held this year owing to the absence of George Almer New- hall, 'who was usualiy the moving spirit in these affairs. g The men who are discussing the pos- sibility of a show feel assured of its artistic success. Many people have in- vested in high class horses in' recent vears, and would it is thought be glad to show them. —_———————— Meet of San Mateo Drag Hounds. The first meet of the season of the hounds of the San Mateo.County Hefint will be held this afternoon at the Burlingame Cpuntry Club. Francis J. Carolan, the master, will enfertain' the members of the -hunt, together with some of his friends, at a hunt break- fast at the clubhouse. The ground is:reported in excellent condition for galloping, and a fast run is expected. Jerry Keating, the hunts- man, has the hounds in fine trim to commence -the season’s work.. -« - ..

The prin- cipal kennels of the country are repre- sefited here now and the question of greyhound supremacy should be quick- Iy decided. E. M. Kellogg, the Iowa coursing | man, is here with Lady Allen, Rosie Cross, Frisco Lad, Haughty Helen and Joe Pasha. Russell & Allen's striflg, in charge.of Arthur Hynes, consists of Advertiser, Barefoot Boy, Trouble- some, Pathfinder, Bill Dugan, Crank, Our Minnie and Yours Truly.

Martin, Charles E. Vogel and John J. Sherry were appointed a committee to nominate candidates for the offices of the club during the ensuing year: The California Yacht Club is grow- ing, the following being elected recent- ly as members: Frederick D. Wells of the United States army transport ser- vice, S. B. Conner, owner of the sloop Pactolus, formerly owred and sailed by Allen M. Clay; A. R. Conner, Charles C. Gardner, M. G. Jones and Charles E. Noyes. The Building Association of the Cal- ifornia Yacht Club has decided to erect a clubhouse about 250 yards to the east of the slip on the south side of the Key Route pier. As scon as the foun- dation plers are finished work will be begun on the building, which the direc- tors expect to have ready for use on opening day, 1904. The yachtsmen of the San Francis- co Bay and these of Oakland Creek especially have for a long time been much annoyed and damaged by the petroleum refuse permitted to escape into and befoul the waters in which their pleasure caft are moored. Many complaints have been made to the officials of railroad companies and the owners of steam vessels that use oil as fuel, but nothing more than prom- ises resulted. At last the directors of the California Yacht Club seem to be in a fair way to bring the offense of fouling nav! ble waters home to the perpetrators. The first officer of the steamer Rosecrans, owned by the Madsen Navigation Company, has been charged with violation of the State law by permitting refuse petro- leum to es: from the steamship into the navigable waters of San An- tonio estuary. He was placed under arrest as the vessel was about to put out to sea and was brought before Justice Quign, who put him under a bond of $500 to appear for trial when the Rosecrans returns to this port, as she is expected to do early during the présent month. August R. F. Brandes, chairman of the regatta committee of the Califor- nia Yacht Club, leaves the Oakland En- quirer to-day and proceeds to Wash- ington, D. C., having received a posi- tion in the United States printing of- fice. August Brandes has been a mem- bér of the California Yacht Club and chairman of the regatta committee for many years. He has also been a direc- tor of the club and of the Building As- sociation. In conjunction with A. C. Lee, now vice commodore of the San Francisco Yacht Club, he owned the sloop Surprise, but for some time past has been a member of the crew of Com- modore George M. Shaw’s yawl Idler. He carries with him to the national capital the hest wishes of the yachts- men San Franciseg Bay. He had one of the narrowest “Wescapes from drowning that has befallen any San Francisco yachtsman. Returning one day single-handed in a small partly open sloop to Oakland Creek he met with a nasty sea off Angel Island. The boat shipped several waves and became water-logged.

Harold Ward, captain of the Ala- meda Cricket Club, stands at the head of the batting list of his club for the past season, with an everage of 27.4 runs for thirteen innings. He also stands at the head of the bowling list, with fortv wickets for 470 runs, giving an average of 11.75 runs per wicket. Captain Ward also scored the only “century” made by any member of the Alameda club during the season, mak- ing 116 runs on July 12 against the Pa- cific eleven. B. Bird, with a batting average of 18.3 for thirteen innings, comes nearest to his captain on the batting list, and the same player is second on the bowl- ing list, with twenty-two wickets at an average cost of 1 runs per wicket.

Rendle of New York, president of the Metropolitan District Cricket League. have come into the hands of Arthur Inkersley, secretary of the Callfornia Cricket Association. They are handsome solid silver medals, having a diameter of one and a half inches and a thickness of three-six- teenths of an inch. On the obverse is the head of the famous English crick- eter, Dr. W. G. Grace, in relief, sur- rcunded by a laurel wreath, with the motto “Long Live Cricket.” On the re- verse is a wicket-keeper’s glove and a ball, with the words “Rendle Merit Medal, awarded to * Three of these medals have been received, one going to Harold B. Richardson, the captain of the San Francisco County Cricket Club, for his century made on | June 21; the second to B. Kortlang of the same club, for a century scored on June 28, and the third .to G. Harold ‘Ward, captain of the Alameda Cricket Club, for his score of 116 runs made on July 12. Each medal is accompanied by a gold button bearing the letters G. 8. C. in monogram style and the words “Founded 1902 by Arthur E. Ren- dle.”” The border is of dark blue enamel, with the words ‘“The Grace So- ciety of Cricketers” in gold letters. Be- ing genuine medals, they are like coins, except that the edges are not milled. Having no loop nor pin, they cannot be affixed to any part of the clothing. —_——— Collector in Trouble. John P. Dignan, a tailor in the Mur- phy bullding, secured a warrant from Police Judge Mogan yesterday for the arrest of Charies Newman, a collector, on a charge of misdemeanor embezzle- ment. Dignan alleges that he paid Newman $2 50 to commence suit for the recovery of $15 from David M. Jones, a well known vocalist, but Newman failed to do so. Warrant and Band Clerk Fitzpatrick says that numerous complaints of a similar character have recently been made to him against Newman. | Atbert” P. .. o uoidcAs s Dsmwesvb e . POLO PLAYERS REVIVE FORMER GLORIES OF BURLINGAME COUNTRY CLUB SCOTCH BOWLERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE GAME —e Rinks in Golden Gate Park Prove Inadequate to Ac- commodate All the Players iy et Scottish bowling is the latest recrea- tion to seek a home in San Francisco. This game was introduced about a vear ago by a few enthusiasts, who had played it in the *old country.” In the past year the ‘membership list of San Francisco Scottish Bowling Club has increased steadily and now con- tains ninety-two names. A small spdce was set aside for rinks In the park, but the green is not nearly large enough to accommodate the players on Saturday afternoons. It is impos- sible to extend the green in any di- rection but to the west and many dif- ficulties would be met in doing that. It is probable a new green will be turned over to the fast growing club. Fourteen new members were elected on Thursday night. The club con- tains few young men, the membership list containing the names of the most influential men in the city. It Is not a game that appeals particularly to young men, but is better suited to mid- dle-aged men, who are not able to indulge in more violent forms of exer- cise. While the game is as Scotch as base- ball is American, still many of the club members are not Scotch. In Scotland the interclub matches at- tract thousands of spectators and valu- able prizes are competed for. The only place in the United States outside of San Francisco and Oakland where Scottish bowling is played is In New Jersey. The San Francisco Club is | the largest of the three. The Oakland Club has been in existence only about two meonths, but already has a mem- bership of forty. An enthusiastic meeting was held Thursday night by the bowlers and from 8 o'clock until 11 plans for the future were discussed. A new singles tournament was arranged, to begin to- | day. The event will start at the con- | clusion of the finals of the tournament, which was started several months ago. The contestants will be J. C. Moffatt and James Gray. Some of the members were in favor of having a doubles tournament in- stead of a singles. It was thought that many of the players would not be present when these matches were called. defeated on his partner would be ad account of the absence of scommoded. | adopted whereby an entry list should be posted at the clubhouse and those | who were desirous of playing would | enter their names and agree to play | their matches if possible. Partners will be drawn by lot, as will be the op- ponents. A question that called forth much discussion was that of the bias of the bowls. It was not decided whether bias No, 1, 2 or 3 ,would be adopted in tournament play. bers were in favor of adopting the standard bias of the big clubs in Scot- land. It is doubtful if the players could have the bowis changed in time for the preliminary round of the new | tournament. ably go over until the next meeting, three months hence. The challenge of the Oakland Bowl- ing Club for a four-rink match, to be played on the Oakland green Christ- mas day, was accepted. This will be the third meeting of the two clubs. The first two were won by the local bowlers. The Oaklanders made a good showing on Thanksgiving day and think they can win next time. —_— DOLPHIN- CLUB TO HOLD MASKED BALL NEXT WEEK Election of Officers to Serve During Coming Year Will Take Place Soon. Next Saturday evening the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club wiil hold a masked ball at Eintracht Hall, on Twelfth street, near Folsom. The prom- enade will begin at 9 o'clock.
