Model yachting is a pastime that is | becoming very popular and attracts many spectators on noon; In fa the crowd of onlooke of e has been large that the) | have crowded the path reserved for t sailors and made it difficult at times for the latter to conduct the races.

The only thing needed by the owners | of the miniatures is a clubhouse near Spreckels Lake. Some of the boats are | kept in a shed several blocks from the | lake, but this does not give the satis- | faction a clubhouse cn the banks of the lake would. Those who carry their boats to the lake cach Sunday are able to enter but one boat and considerable difficulty is expe boats to the lake owing to the crowded condition of the street cars. The club's subscription list is growing and before another year has passed the new club- bouse will be a reality. The club at present is experiencing to govern racing that will be satisfactory to all forth in the bylaws have not proved entirely satisfactory. W. B. Collier's | new set of rules will be tried for three Sundays and if they meet with the ap- proval of the boat owners they wiil no doubt be adonted. Under the rules the bo: finishing first and sec- ond in a heat qualify for the semi- finals. Collier's idea is to allow a boat to race until it has been defeated three | times, when it shall be dropped from In this way the boats will | narrow down to two in the finals. One | of these must defeat the other three times beéfore it is declared winner. The chief objection to Collier's meth- 0d is that it will be impossible to finish a race in a day. Many claim that with twenty or more boats entered it wouid be out of the question to dispose of them all in a single day. To test this the club members have been requested tc bring as many yachts as possible to the lake on the next three Sundays. If the rules stand the test and the races are completed in a day they should be adopted, as they lessen the of i | | | The new rules affect only Sunday pennant | races.

All boats must be measured three weeks before the race. —————————— ST.

The grocers of San Francisco were devoting their energies to entertaining the National Grocers' Association and in holding a pure food ‘show at the time usually {devoted to their annual celebration, which was the cause of its postpone-| ment. The interest engendered by | their successful exposition at Mechan- ics' Pavilion has aroused much en- thusiasm among the retail grocers and as a consequence even greater interestI than usual i§ being taken in their out- | ing. At the annual meeting of the organ- ization held recently the following of- ficers were elected by the retail gro- cers to serve until July, 1905: President, J. Salomon; vice presi- dent, Frank B. Connolly; directors, E. A. Lackmann. Herman Methmann, J. P. McGuire, George B. Doyle, William Ring, J. T. Hurley, J. M. Sullivan, Henry Wreden and Henry Rawe; sec- | retary, Fred Krueger. The grocers of San Francisco are now united in one strong organization, which has over 500 members. The wholesale trade has already contrib- uted numerous articles to be used as prizes at their outing and practically all the groceries of the city will be closed when the great day arrives. TOUNG PITCHERS - Overall.

Among the youngsters who are shin- ing brightly at the present time is Or- val Overall, the giant from Bgrkeley, who has done miuch to elevate the standing of Tacoma. “Ovie” did not | make a brilliant start, but when he go!] into the going he showed 'em all that he had the goods and was one of those slabsters who is always willing to de- liver them. Bobby Keefe, the Santa Clara lad, Is ancther wiz who has set the fans talking about him. Though slight of | build and meek of manner the young- | ster possesses a wonderful faculty for fooling batsmen and barring a little wildness at times his work this sea- son has been well nigh perfect. Jimmy Buchanan, the huge Texan on Peter Lohman's staff, is voted by a vast army of fans the best pitcher in this league. He is certainly steadiest and the coclest. It is his magnificent work that has kept the Commuters from sliding to the bottom. His record of twelve straight victories bids fair to stand for the balance of the season. This is Buchanan’s second year in professional ccompany and he should make the big league next sea- son. Charlie Hall, the lad from Ventura, came to Parke Wilson unheralded and practically unknown, but now he can get a job on any man’'s ball team. He stands second in games won at the present time and were it not for him Seattle would never have the honor of being second in the chase after the flag. And then comes Charlie Baum of Los Angeles, another youngster who has been overlooked for a long time. Baum suffered more hard luck than any other slab artist in this or any other league, but even at that, he suc- ceeded in getting away with a gc-odlyi percent of his games. Baum has them all beat in throwing curved balls and is possessed of one of the prettiest de- liveries in the league. Dick Williams has not been right this season. He never seemed to strike his gait and has failed utterly to show his worth. His best work was done at the opening of the season, but since that time he Has apparently lost his speed and cunning. ——————— Insolvent Dairyman. J.

The tournaments are only six weeks off, and the question should be settled at once. The Hardy brothers would probably decide to enter the tourna- ments. It would take over a month to put them in shape, and if the local players are desirous of making any kind of a showing they should see that these clever brothers compete. The players who are expected to come to the coast are Beals C. Wright, Hol- comb Ward or W. J. Clothier. Wright will be one of the players, but whether his partner will be Clothier or Ward bhas not been decided. Ward ranks sec- ond in the United States this year. T only man placed above him is Cham- pion Larned. Clothier ranks third and Wright fourth. Against these cracks the only local men with a chance to win are the Hardy brothers. Bell, Mur- dock and MacGavin might make a good showing, but it is doubtful. Sam Hardy is not in very good shape, but Sumner, with a month’s practice, would have nothing to fear from any of the visitors. In 1899 he beat both Wright and Ward at Del Monte. The latter have improved since then, while Hardy has not played in a tournament for three years. The same year, in doubles, the two best teams in the East were beaten by the Hardy brothers. The presence of the Fastern experts would be a great benefit to the local players and would help tennis very much. The latter learn nothing from playing with one another year after vear, and the game here {s at a stand- still. ‘ Parmeley Paret, a well-known player from the East, has written a relative in Alameda that he will come to the coast and participate in the Septem- ber tournaments. Paret at one time ranked in the first ten and was runner- up at Newport, but the game has gone ahead of him since then and the local men are figured to beat him. Reuben Hunt, former champion of Alameda County, will also enter the coast championship tournaments. Hunt has made quite a name for himself in the East and stands a good chance of winning the tourney. Two tournaments will be held in the local cecurts to-morrow. On the Cali- be non-owners’ day at the clubhouse. The annual race for the Wallace trophy having been held last Sunday, to-day and to-morrow are open dates on the programme of the Califofnia Yacht Club. On Saturday, Juiy sev- eral of the Oakland Creek yachts will start on a ek’s cruise up the Sacra- mento River. The regatta committee of the Cali- fornia Yacht Club, acting under article of the by-laws of the Pacific Inter- club Yacht Association, which govern the club races, has ruled that the elev- enth annual class flag regatta and Owners’ Cup race, sailed on Sunday, June 19, be resailed over -the same course on Sunday, August The en- trance fees paid for the race on June 19 will be returned. Though a fair steady breeze blew Saturday afternoon for the race for the Perpetual Challange cup, the general opinion among yachtsmen is that the trial was inconclusive. The Corinth- ians think that the Corinthian would have done better in a stronger breeze decidedly of the opinion that a heavy wind would have brought the Chal- lenger home a winner. All agree that the Ghallenger is a remarkably fast and able boat. She will certainly be the San Francisco club’s representative in next year’s race for the Perpetual Challenge cup. It is not so certain, however, that the Corinthian will be the defender of the trophy. When it is considered that the Corinthian is four- teen feet longer over all than the Chal- lenger and carried nearly 200 square feet more canvas, she ought to beat the Challenger by a more decisive mar- gin than forty-one seconds. Even un- der the conditions of last Saturday's race, one well-known racing yachts- man said that the Challenger might have won if she had crossed the start- ing line first and luffed the Corinth- ian out to windward on the reach to the leeward stakeboat. ~ There are some yachtsmen who say that more speed could have been got | out of the Challenger if her light sails had been handled more smartly. — e POLICEMAN HICKS MISSES fornia ¢lub courts there will be a hand- . 2 S o <« | icap doubles tournament for the di- THE POINTS OF OOMRA | ors cvpn.

There were neither peanut stands nor corner gro- ceries in the wilderness and Hicks came near leaving his bones there. ‘While hunting with a webfooter Hicks lost his bearings and there were no landmarks like the Call building to guide him. He wandered about the thickly wooded country until his friends found him tyo days later in an almost famished condition. When conducted to a running stream by his rescuers he madly plunged into it and it re- quired two men to prevent him from killing himself by drinking too much water. He says the next time he goes hunting in Oregon he will keep in the middle of the road. Will Discuss Mechanics. The monthly meeting of the Pacific Coast Railway Club will be held this evening at the Palace Hotel. The subject for discussion will be “Is a hollow shaft as strong and durable as a solid shaft of the same diameter? If so, what is the method of manu- facture and proportion of bore to size of shaft?” Robert McF. Doble will read a paper on this topie, which will be illustrated by stereopticon slides, =
