Afterward their fortunes may improve or they may even attain | ai tion; yet they are barred forever fr taking part in open amatcur com- petitions. Some people suggest that -'l distine- | tion be abolished, amateurs and pro- fessionals meeting on equal term: In Great Britain this is regarded as im- practicable.

Forty-nine players entered the San Francisco championship tournament, the drawing for which was held at the California Tennis Club last night. The good players are distributed through- out and will not meet in the opening rounds. In the upper half Percy Mur- | dock, Dr. McChesney and Merle John- n are probably the best players. | There are more good players in the lower half.

To-day, to-morrow and on Monday there will be matches between the city teams and a visiting eleven of the Santa Cruz Cricket and Athletic Club on the ground at Webster street, | Alameda. The Santa Cruz eleven plays against the San Francisco County team to-day. The Santa Cruz team is made up of H. H. Davis (captain), E. F. Hil- ton, Stephen Stagg, E. H. Day, A. Me- Namara, W. Howard, A. Jenkins, J. Richardson, S. F. Catling, A. Neville and Bruce Sharpe. The San Francisco County eleven w“l“ be chosen from H. B. Richardson (cap- tain), B. Kortlang, E. G. Sloman, E. J Stratton, T. J. A. Tiedemann, H. Rob- erts, C. W. Irish, W. R. Stewart, R. 8. Weaver, H. E. Boulton and T. J. A. Tiedemann Jr. The team wiil be de- prived of the services of E. Petersen, as he broke his arm in the lacrosse match played last Sunday between All San Francisco and the San, twelve. To-morrow the Santa Cruz visitors will play the Pacific eleven, which will consist of H. D. Bowly, E. H. M. Lan- | nowe, W.'Petherick, A. W. Wilding, Dr. O. N. Taylor, J. W. Myers (captain), | Norman Logan, D. Jamieron, E. H. Wilkes and H. C. Casidy. This is the first match in which E. H. Wilkes and D. Jamieson have played during the present season. Wilkes was a member of the San Francisco County team last year, and, in conjunction with Kort- lang, bowled consistently well all through the season. It is expected he will lend much strength to the Pacific attack. On Decoration day the Santa Cruz team will play its third match in suc- cession, its opponents being the Ala- meda eleven, selected from F. J. Croll, G. H. Ward, George Carroll, Stahl, W. H. McNaughton, W, G. Fort- mann, C. Banner,'W. J. Richter, S. M. Foster, J. U. Buchanan, W. E. R. Rooker and F. J. Pennion, E. F. Hilton, who is one of the vice presidents of the California Cricket As- sociation, and Stephen Stagg, secretary of the Santa Cruz Cricket and Athletic Club, will leave California for England on Tuesday.

A TEFTE, v A TAHG oar +- | | LATEST PHOT APHS OF CHAM- PION JEFFRIES, TAKEN AT DANA AND PETER- | | HARBIN B i Heavyweight Fighter Enjoys Outdoor Life. — | The manner of Champion Jim Jef- {fries’ training at Harbin Springs ! should be an object lession not alone to fighters, but to all amateur zl!h-} { letes, who are invariably overtrained. | | Jeffries has learned the great lesson that health and condition are synony- | | mous terms and he galns the latter | while striving for the former. | He lives out of doors and his rifle and fishing rod are constantly in use. He drives long distances to famous | streams and then spends hours whip- | | ping them for trout. On other oceca- | | sions he takes his rifle, in the use of | which he is an adept, and climbs | ’preclphous cliffs in search of game. | This builds up a tremendous store of | | vitality which makes him so formid- | able a fighting machine in the ring. | He does not neglect his boxing, do- | | Ing enough of this to “true up” his eyes and to bring the special muscles | required at this game into play. Jeffries weighs 238 pounds at pres- ent, but as the weather is warm he will soon get rid of some of this bulk. He will probably fight heavier than ever before, but will be trained to the hour when he steps into the ring with Munroe. = Billy De- laney is watching his work closely, and, as both expect to retire after this Xear, they are taking no chances of their brilliant records as fighter and trainer being marred by a deféat. —_————— Cruise of Corinthian Yacht Club. The cruise of the Corinthian Yacht Club to Vallejo last Saturday was well attended. The fleet started at 9:30 a. m,, reaching Vallejo in good sea- son. The yachts that accompanied the fdagship Speedwell were the schooners Lu?' Ada and Martha, the yawls Frolic - and Nereid and the sloops Nixie, Aloha, Emma, Edna, Meteor, Mignon, Aeolus, Presto, Freda, Dis- | covery, Belle, Josie, Espy, Neva, Nep- tune, Amigo and the cup challenger Corinthian. The schooners Bonita and Chispa also dropped anchor off Mare Island. Early on Sunday morning the fleet left Vallejo, some of the yachts Jdropping anchor in Paradise Cove. —— | first contest of the oarsmen ~3 ROWING REGATTA 0N JULY FOURTH Championship Barge Skiff Races Will Place on — Take be the scene of the of two clubs during the present season. One of the items of the programme to be given at that bay is a boat race in which two barge crews El Campo will from the Ariel Rowing Club and two | from the Scuth End Rowing Club will take part. The Ariel Club is manifest- ing great activity, a large number of members being at the boathouse on all Sundays and holidays. The boats are being put into commission and crews will be formed for the regatta to be held on July 4. President W. B. Hinchman of the Pacific Association of the Amateur Athletic Union has nominated the fol- lowing as the Fourth of July regatta committee: W. B. Hinchman of the Alameda Boating Club, E. J. Lynch of the Ariel Rowing Club, A. P. Rothkopf of the Dolphin Boating Club, D. E. Brewn of the Olympie Boat Club, M. J. Calnan of the Pioneer Rowing Club, T. 1. Fitzpatrick of the South End Row ing Club (chairman), and Herbert Hau- ser of the ton Athletic Association. The regatta will be held on Lake Merritt on July 4 and will be tl.e cham- pionship event of the year. Crews from all the clubs named, except pos- | sibly the Pioneer Rowing Club, will take part. The Dolphin Boating Club, being equipped for the first time with a modern, light racing barge, will try hard for first place in one or more of the barge classes. The famous “Spi- ders,” who held the championship for the Alameda Boating Club for several years, have parted company, but a strong crew will be made up of new men. The crew which wins first place n the senior barge race will have the chance @f representing San Francisco at the regatta to be held at Portland, Or., next year. E. A. Bannister has been elected cap- tain of the rowing crew of the Uni- versity of California for next season to succeed S. Bunnell, who has graduated. The cockswain, Joseph P. Loeb, and the other two oarsmen, G. J. Anloff, who rowed No. 2, and E. J. Grindley, who pulled the bow oar, will be available next season. Bunnell's place at stroke 'may be taken by H. W. Schreiber, who was stroke of this year’s freshman crew. Other oarsmen, one or more of whom may flll seats in the university four, are: H. W. Ross, ; H. W.

The Chicago Coursing Club held three meetings and then closed its gates until next winter on account of the hot weather. The club will bid for the Waterloo and for the Missis- sippi Valley Futurity. Rubber Ankles and Sacramento Boy have been matched for another series of trials. D. Walsh was not satisfied with the outcome of their !ast meet- ing. Each owner puts up $100, te which Union Park adds a like anwunt. The match will be decided one week from to-morrow. A special holiday reserve stake will be run at Union Park on Monday. The drawing will be held at the park to morrow. There will be the usual Su day train service.

Though the repre- sentatives of Stanford University did not do much this yegr, they feel con- fident that more practice will improve their crews greatly. If Stanford Uni- versity should fail to send a crew in for next year's intercollegiate event, the Berkeley crew will go 3 in their third contest against the Uni- versity of Washington.

Whit and t In the abs Whitney and pl throughout the tournament year a cup was presented by Josept Grant, and in future the champion not be called upon to play in the tour ¥, . th Ay nament. The best fifty p of the bay have teresting matches at. Most of the entries are Franeisco, be- ing sent in from the California and the Golden Gate clubs. The largest number of entries are from the park, twenty- three of the public court eracks hav- ing subscribed their names to the en- try list. Probably the strongest player in the tournament is Percy Murdock of Ala- meda. At his best he would have difficulty in winning, but he is erratic |on the courts and cannot be relied upen. Of the players from this side of the bay Will Allen, Frank Mitchell and George Baker are undoubtedly the best. Allen and Mitchell are from the California Club. Allen is in poor form om both sides nd some in- yers fi no and of late has been playing a miser- able game. Although he beat Mac- Gavin at the park two weeks ago, he was on the same day badly beaten by Baker. Mitchell plays a clever game at times. If he meets Allen, Baker or Murdock in one of the early rounds he may beat them, but he can hardly last through a tournament of this size. ‘While Baker, Murdock, Allen and Mitchell are figured as the class of the event, there are several players who n surprise the talent. Herbert Schmidt of the California Club and Clarence Griffin of the Golden Gate Club are clever players and should work well into the tournament. Men like Dunlap, Crawford, Cornell, Long and C. Smith may also make some of the cracks extend themselves. Play will begin promptly at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. All matches ex- cept finals and challenge match will be two sets out of three; finals and chal- lenge to be three out of five. A lunch- eon will be served to players and guests. The tournament will be held under the joint auspices of the Cali- fornia and Golden Gate tennis clubs. | Four prizes will be offered besides the Grand challenge cup. Those reaching the semi-finals will receive prizes. | o dr b SCOTCH BOWL REQUIRE MORE ROOM FOR PLAY | 1 With the limited number of rinks | at their disposal In Golden Gate Park the Scottish Bowlers are having some difficulty in rynning off their twotourn- aments. The doubles event is more than half shed and the absence of i|two of the players and the consequent withdrawal of their teams will make | it possible to finish this event several weeks earlier than the schedule calls for. The first round closed last Sat- urday. AS neither Charles Adams and James Gray nor E. J. Clinton and A. McVicar appeared, both teams lost by default. This puts James Mearns and Thomas McNaught in the semmi- final round. They beat Miller and Pat- | terson in the first round. A. Foreman and J. C. Moffatt, who reached the second round, will default to Dr. Ham- ilton and W. R. Eaton. The latter will thereby gain a place in the semi-fin- als, where they will meet Mearns and McNaught. In the upper half four teams are left. Alex Hay and A. McNair will meet J. M. Duncan and M. L. Crowe. and J. Stott and J. McLaren will be opposed to J. S. Webster and G. C. Patterson. Mr. McLaren will leav next week for Scotland and it is ex- pected his match will be played to- day. Since Foreman and Moffatt have withdrawn many are of the opinion that Dr. Hamilton and W. R. Eaton will carry off the honors. They did some great bowling when they met Y. C. Lawson and A. Craig in the-first round. But little progress has been mad= in the singles. Only four matches have been completed in the preliminary round. This leaves twenty matches to I be played to-day,
