Aurora, GEORGE BAKER DEFEATS MURDOGK AT TENNIS FPiAY Wins the Singles Match in the Ala- meda County Championship by His Steadiness. The Alameda County championship tennis tournaments were almost fin- ished yesterday on the East Oakland courts. The singles and consolation singles “were finished and only two teams are left in the doubles. Contrary to expectations, George Baker of the Golden Gate Tennis Club won the singles championship. His defeat of Percy Murdock, the Ala- meda crack. in the finals was a sur- prise. Baker was hardly considered in Murdock’s class, but in'a long, five- set match wore out the expert from Alameda. Baker's victory is due entirely to his superior steadiness. Murdock played brilliant tennis at times but was not at all steady. The score was 4-6, 6-2, , 6-1, 6-2. In doubles Drummond MacGavin and Robert Variel reached the finals by beating Clarence Griffin and Charles Dunlap. Dunlap and Griffin made a good showing and although they lost in straight sets both were close. The score was §-6, 7-5. The Murdock brothers won the other place in the finale. The results: First rourd—Murdock brothers beat I. A, Code_and A. Brabant, G-, 2-6, 6-2; Dunlap and Foley beat McDutfie and Church, 7-5, 6-2. ond round—Murdock brothers beat Gor- , 6-2, G-4; Duniap and Foley d Medcroft, 6-4, 6-3. Semi-finals—MacGavin _ and Variel beat Dunlap and Foley, 8.6, 7-3; Murdock brothers beat Svencer and Turner, 6-4, 6-3. George Janes and Stewart Gayness, both of San Francisco, met in the finals of the consolation singles. Janes won easily, the score being 6-3, 6-1. —_——— SOLDIER BALL TOSSERS OUTPLAY JESSE MOORES After Nine Fast Innings the Presidio Men Defeat Opponents by a ho have signed|4-3.

Lacy Crawford’s fast hound Rec- tor showed class above all the other dogsi in the open stake at Ingelside Coursing park yesterday and won out about as he pleased. Some good courses were run and while the short ends did not show often, there was a | surprise or two that made the pikers feel jubilant. Presidio Boy, which was looked upon to reach the deciding course, and in fact was figured to con- test for final honors with Rector, was put out in the early morning by Prin- cess Savoy. The talent thought so little of Jolly’s courses that they finally ran the price up to 10 to 1 against her, but the short end dog proved an easy winner. 1In the next round, she went the route again and sent Homer Boy to the kennel devoid of honors. In her next go, she went against that fast one, Full Moon, and after an unde- cided course was beaten by a single point, the score standing 5-4.

They will appeal the matter to the La- bor Council and see if something can- not be done to remedy the evil. A communication has been received by the Labor Couneil from Samuel Gompers, president of the “Amerjcan Federation of Labor, in which he ¢on- demns the practice of street railway employes playing in bands after work- ing hours. Gompers says in his letter that this is a common practice in East- ern cities, and he requests the local La- bor Council to take steps to prevent the practice in this city. The Labor Council yesterday donated the sum of $100 to aid the locked-out employes of the Holt Manufacturing Company at Stockton.

Pickwicks Tie City Eleven in First Half, but Are Beaten Hopelessly in Last -Period The Independents beat the Pick- wicks six goals to one in the match for the championship of the Assoclation Foothall League, played yesterday on the field at Idora Park, Oakland. The Thistles defeated the Alblon Rovers four goals to one on the same ground in the semi-final round for the Cali- fornia Association Football Union cup. The ball was kicked off at 1:30 p. m. in the game between the Independent and the Pickwick teams, the Referee being Norman Logan and the linesmen Shand and Christie. In the first few minutes’ of play the Pickwicks rushed the ball down the field and Cowan put it between the posts. Before the end of the first period T. Fay made a goal for the Indeperdents, equalizing the score. In the second period, after the change of ends, the Independents had much the best of the game, keeping the ball almost constantly in the enemy’s terri- tory and scoring five goals. The Pick- wicks did not score at all in this period, and the match ended six goals to one in favor of the visitors from San Fran- cisco. For the winners, the Fay brothers rendered conspicuous service. The In- dependents lacked their field captain and Center Halfback Mechels, whose knee was hurt in last Sunday's game. In the second half a penalty kick was awarded to the Pickwicks; Murdock made an excellent straight shot, but Forbes punched the ball upward so that it passed over the crossbar and no score resulted. The losers’ team in- cluded several new men who were ex- pected to prove a surprise to the Inde- pendents. The winners surprised the losers in team work. The teams lined up as follows: Independents. Positions. Plekwicks. Forbes. .. Goalkeeper ... Tozer - Leftback ... Murdock . Thotias - Rightback 1ddleton Left halfback. . ‘enter halfback. Right halfback. Outside left. . Inside left. Center forward. Inside right. ... Outside right.. At 3 p. m. the Thistles came out for the cup tie, being followed almost im- mediately by the Albion Rovers. Henry Roberts was the referee, with J. D. Robertson and A. W. Wilding as lines- men. The play was keen from the start, the Rovers hustling the champions cqn- siderably. T. Disher secured the first goal for the Thisties, who soon after- ward added a second. Early in the first period R. Disher wrenched his knee and, though he stayed in the game, was not able to render any ser- vice to his team, which was really one man short in its forward line. The Thistles playing well together, scored a third goal from a corner kick. Then the referee awarded a penalty kick to the Rovers, which Tweedie -cleverly converted into a goal. Before the call of time the Thistles scored a fourth goal, and the game ended four to one in their favor. A large number of spectators watched the match with the greatest interest.

David Wells and Fred Crothers were arrested yesterday morning by Po- liceman Harry Hook and booked at the city prison on a charge of disturbing the peace. Wells gave his age as 28 and his occupation as a cowboy, and Crothers said he was 30 years of age and a clerk by occupation. Two ladies complained to Hook yes- terday morning while he was patroling his beat, on O'Fairrell street, that three men had insulted them, and about an hour later Hook saw three men talking to Merle Bunn, a girl 16 years of age. She was on her way to the Alcazar theater to attend rehearsal. When the “‘fi men saw Hook, they rar along o' ell_street and disappeared in saloon. The girl, who was trembling with fear, told Hook that one of the men had accosted her and had taken hold of her and asked her to go him to a saloon. While he was to her the two other men came up, and they were iutroduced to her as a ‘Wells, who was identifled by the and an hour later he arrested Crothers, who was also identified .by her. The third man could not be found. Britt Puts in a Busy After- noon Entertaining Crowd of Interested Spectators CORBETT ON THE ROAD Avoids the Gymmnasium but Poses for Some Time Before a Moving Picture Machine i For the sake of their peace of mind sportsmen who expect to wager a lt- tle money on the forthcoming meeting of Young Corbett and Jimmy Briit should shun the training quarters of the man against whose chances th.y expect to bet. After seeing one man go through his training work the spec- tator fails to see how he can lose—until he watches the other man. The crowd which packed the big gymnasium at Croll's yesterday came away with the idea that Britt could not lose. Britt helped this feeling along by sayinz that Corbett will never hit him wilh one of his swings. He went further and said Jeffries could not do some of the damage to him which Corbett's friends claim the Denver man will do. Britt looked big and strong yester- day and seemed to enjoy his work. He went four rounds with Frank Rafael, which came near being genuine fighting. He is taking no chances with his- hands, wearing a bandage on hi3 right and a thin glove on his left in addition to the big boxing gloves. He showed great quickness in landing a straight left followed by a right hook. His friends claim the oldtime strength is in the right hand and that he will do great execution with it. Britt ys that for the first time in his career he is fighfing a man of smaller stature then himself. Seiger, Fitzgerald, Erne and the others werc tall lightweights and men of bulk. This he considers a big factor in his favor. Corbett went on the road yesterday and afterward went in the ocean. He then poséd for some time before moving picture machine, doing a vari ety of training work B e g PICKS CORBETT TO W Former Manager of the Denver Man Thinks Britt Lacks a Punch. DENVER, March 13.—In his coming battle with Young Corbett, Jimmy Britt has but little chance of winning, according to Johnny Corbett, who brought out the champion and was at his back up to the moment he knocked out McGovern and brought the title to Denver. “While I believe Jimmy Britt is going to make Young Corbett step some be- fore the verdict is rendered,” said Johnny Corbett to-night, “T look to see the Denverite win before the twentieth round is reached. I base my judgment of Corbett's ability to defeat Britt on Britt’s past performances, which in my opinion have been meritorious but not brilliant. Britt demonstrated in his fights with Erne, O'Keefe, Fitzgerald and Canole that he is aggressive, game and clever—a g ring general, who knows when to punch, where to punch and how to punch, but lacks a decisive blow. No boxer, no matter how skillful, can hope to defeat Young Corbett when the distance is twenty rounds unless he cargies a punch that will stay the champion’s rushes. “From all accounts of the Britt-Fitz- gerald fight Fitzgerald kept Britt un- der full head of steam for the entire twenty rounds, although hahdicapped by a dislocated thumb. I have seen Fitzgerald and Corbett mix it in earn- est while in training, and I have seen Young Corbett show marked supremacy over the Brooklym boy in everything but gameness. He could, in my opinion, easily give Fitzgerald a quietus in twenty rounds.” Steamship Line to Be Discontinued. BOSTON, March 13.—Announcement was made to-day of the discontinuance of the Puritan line of steamships p ing between Boston and Antwerp. The business between Antwerp and this port will be continued by other steam ers and those that have heretofore been on the route. ADVERTISEMENTS.
