The pupils of the school will be culled from thcse juve- nile offenders who will be given a chance to reform. Should they show a firm disposition to mend their ways they will be allowed to return to their regular schools. It is planned to develop the school by slow stages and it is the opinion of educational officials that Faulkner and Miss Alexander will be perfectly competent to deal with the difficult problems of the new venture. —_—— Dr. Mish Under Arrest, Dr. Solomon C. Mish, Parrott build- ing, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives B4 Gibson and Graham and booked at the City Prison on a felony charge. It is alleged that the doctor performed a criminal opera- tion last Saturday afternoon on Edna Sampson, a girl 19 yea-s of age. from Ripon, near Stockton. The girl was taken to the City and County Hos- pital, where she told her story yester- day morning. It is said that she will recover. Dr. Mish denies the charge. He admit: that the girl called upon him and that he gzve her advice, but that was all. those for the Del Monte cups, one fo men and another for women. Just what compe settled within the next few days. It is possible the meet will be held dur- ing the week of the 22d to 27th inst., as the races to be held by the Auto- mobile Club of California on the 26th and 27th on the Del Monte track will attract many visitors at that tim Though a few players continue practice on the Presidio links, the course has been so much cut up by cavalry drills that mno competitions have been held by the members of the San Francisco Golf Club for several months. On the new course at ingle- side such work is being done as can be accomplished in the dry season, burn- ing off grass and weeds and stubbing up bushes. When the first rains come to | | chosen from the following: tions will be held will be in the fall the task of laying out the | course will be prosecuted vigorously. The winning of the British amateur championship of 1904 by Walter J. Travis has drawn much attention to | him or the aluminum putter used by and known as the “mallet” chenectady” putter. Many Scotch golfers still use the old-fash- joned wooden _putter, among them being James Braid, Andrew Kirkaldy, Willie Fernie, Archie Campbell, H. H. Hilton and Arthur Balfour. The iron- headed putter is the one used by Harry and Tom Vardon, A. Herd, W. H. Tay- lor, J. E. Laldlay, Horace G. Hutch- inson and most of the best known mod ern golfers. The aluminum or “mallet™ putter has been known in England for more than two years, but there had been no demand for it. Since the vic- tory of Travis the firm of English mak- ers received orders in a few days for nearly two hundred dozen. Nearly a year ago six dozen were sent out from London to Hongkong and the putter is much used in Australia (the native country of Travis) and New Zealand. The English retail dealers ; do not dwell much on the merits of the aluminum putter, as they have large stocks. of fron putters on hand, but they admit that they receive many inquiries for the new club. % The makers of the “mallet” say that its weight is concentrated at the point where the shank enters the base, en- abling the player to judge his stroke ‘better and preventing the putter from turning in the player's hands. The putter weighs 10 oz. 2 dwts. The won- derful putting of Walter Travis fs, however, to be attributed to his skill more than to the club he uses. The material of the head and the weight of the putter are not wholly respon- sible. e —e———— One of two things is liable to happen to the money a man leaves when he dies: his widow gives it to her kin or else she gives it to her church. great | 4 San Francisco County Club will be Harold B. (captain), Henry Roberts, E. M. Petersen, T. J. A. Tiedemann, M. Eubank, W. R. Stewart, W. E. R. Rooker, A. Davies, H. F. Pepys, A. C. Chadwick, E. G. Sloman and Henry Dixon. The representatives of the Alameda Cricket Club will be selected from the following: G. Harold Ward (captain), F. Croll, F. A. Stahl, H. Bird, W. H. McNaughton, S. M. Foster, G. I Baugh, W. Fortmann, V. Seebeck, J. H. Saunders, J. Brown and George Croll. The match played last Sunday on the Alameda ground resulted in a victory for W. Jamieson's side over H. Rob- erts’ eleven. As the teams were merely picked up on the field, the scores will not be reckoned in the batting or bowl- ing averages of the players. H. B Richardson is at the head of the lLat- ting averages, with A. W. Wilding sec- ond, as on July 23, but Dr. O. N, Tay- lor, who has been absent on a fishing trip in the Sierras, row stands at the head of the bowling averages, Wilkes' performance on July 24 having in- creased his average, while Dr. Taylor's remained unchanged.

The Dolphin Boating Club will send two barge crews, a junior and an intermediate. The latter will pull in the senior race also. The intermediate crew will be made up of the same men that rowed in the Fourth of July regatta. The Junior crew will consist of new men. F. J. Sherry, who won the outrigged €kiff race in the, senior championship regatta and against whom a protest was raised by the Ala- meda Boating Club for impeding other competitors in their course, has been awarded the first prize. Though he pulled wildly and took the water of each of his competitors in turn, he neither fouled nor was fouled by either of them. It was alleged that the Ala- meda representative did not foul Sherry because he was afraid of dam- aging the new Alameda racing skiff. It is obviously absurd to claim the benefit of a foul if no foul actually was made. The Dolphin Beating Club will also have a representative in the junior outrigged skiff race in the Admission day regatta. He will be selected by competition. Rowing at Stanford University is still in a bad way and no signs of speedy improvement are apparent. At the end of June the water, which had been sinking lower and lower in Lake Lagunita, was drained off, as has been | ! counties who play any kind of a game done each summer. The lake is artifi- cial and, though hundreds of tons of clay have been spread over the bottom to retain the water, it is still leaky and can probably never be made tight. The crews of the Unlversity Boat Club have hithertoc practiced on the lake, but will probably try to secure a boat- house on San Francisgo Bay, which is three miles distant. +* —_— the percentages for the 1904 champion- ship, while if Alameda wins it will have a percentage of .55, or only 1-100th belgw the Pacific .Club's .56, San Francisco dropping to .44. e Thieves Try to Enter Saloon. A. Korber, saloon-keeper, Golden Gate avenue and Polk street, reported to the police yesterday that an at- tempt had been made during the night by burglars to break into his saloon. An effort had been made to pry the padlock off the front door, class at the | 1 ! Spare Time at the Nets for the Championships R ] The annual coast championship ten- nis tournament will commence on Sep- tember 2 at San Rafael and the cracks are putting in every spare moment in practice before the nets. It is more than likely all of the challenge matches will go by default. In the | men’s doubles Bell and Freeman will surely not defend. The latter is out of the State. Bell, the singles cham- national championships and it is doubtful if he will return in time. May Sutton, the woman champion, is also in the East and rumor has it that the Suttons will pot be seen at San Rafael | this year. The absence of the Southern Cal fornia champions will lessen the in- terest in the events. | players in this part of the State are southerners stay tournament away will rare.

Reuben Hunt is ex- pected to arrive in time to play, in which case the two cracks would have no sure thing. Hunt was as clever as | either of them whe. he left here and in the | he has undoubtedly improved East. Another man who has signified his intention of entering is Fritz Over- | ton of Los Angeles. He is one of the cieverest players on the coast. four would furnish some interesting matches. If the Suttons and Miss Dobbins do not ‘enter the women's events they wou! attract but little attention. There are just three girls in the bay at all and the entry list would be small. and Miss Ratcliffe are the only ladies possessed of much ability. The tournament committee, antici- pating an unuually large entry list, decided to start play on the 2d and thus allow ample time in which to finish the events. On the 2d the men's singles and women's doubles will be started. On Monday, the 5th, the men’s doubles will commence. The challenge . matches will be played on September 9 and 10. The Oregon State championship tournament opens on the 22d inst. at Portland. The courts of the Multno- mah Athletic Club will be used. The next tournament to be played on the Golden Gate Park courts is scheduled for the 14th inst. Entries close on the 12th inst. It will be a handicap doubles for the club cups.

On Sunday, the 14th inst., there will be aquatic sports at the club- house at Sausalito. The Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Asso- ciation will hold its first meeting of the present season at the temporary quar- ters of the Merchants’ Exchange on Sansome street on Monday evening next. The business of the past year will be wound up and the a: ciation will reorganize for the coming twelve months. Commodore W. G. Morrow tee of the San Francisco Yacht Club as delegates to the association. The members of it are ex-Commodore R. S. Bridgman, Roy C. Ward and C. M. Gunn. The delegates of the Corinthian Brennan and F. E. Schober. The rep- res atives of the South Bay Yacht Club are S. E. Smith, E. L. Corbin and T. E. Gibson. The Vallejo Yacht and | Boat Club will be represented by P. J. Weniger and Carl Siebrand. It is doubtful whether the Encinal Yacht Club will send delegates to the Asso- ciation or not. After organization has been effected, the delegates will make the preliminary arrangements for the ninth annual regatta of the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association to be held on September 9. It is probable that the San Franecisco won by the which defeated the sloop Challenger, the holder of the trophy in the recent race, will be turned over to the winning club on Saturday evening next at the Cor- inthian clubhouse in Tipuron. The trophy has not been in the custody of the Corinthian Yacht Club since 1902, in which year the sloop Challenger, now owned by W. G. Morrow, won it from the sloop Harpoon. The return of the highly-prized trophy to the Tiburon clubhouse will be made the occasion of a jollification, - ' last Sunday, was the most successful ever held there. The reclassification made the matches in three of the| classes close. In the second, third and | fourth classes each player had a good chance to win, but in the first class some of the players were greatly out- classed. —_—— DEFICIT IN FIREMEN'S PENSIONS.—The Board of Fire Pension Fund Commissioners petitioned the Board of Supervisors vesterday to devise some means to meet the deficit in the June pensions of retired firemen and also to increase the appropriation of the present fiscal year for that purpose, so that a recurrence of the deficit may be avolded. sloop Corinthian, | geles, | president, land c.

OWNERS DY FOR CUP CONTEST Large Fleet of Boats Will Compete for the Dickie Trophy on Spreckels Lake. With the new set of racing rules which minimizes the element of luck pennant races, and with the meas- uring tank in operation, the mode yacht owners expect the races at Spreckels Lake, Golden Gate Park, te be more satisfactory than formerly In the past boats of all sizes and de- scriptions have met on even terms and some of the smaller ones have stood absolutely no show. Measurer L. S. Adams is busy meas- uring and stamping the yachts of the San Francisco Model Yacht Club. He expects to have them all measured be- fore the end of next week. Large and small boats will still meet in competi- tion, but the latter will be given » time allowance and thus the large boats will not win everything in sight To-morrow will be the last day in which the boats will meet without the time allowance. The annual regatta for the Dickie cup is scheduled in the bylaws to be raced on the second Sunday in August A postponement was deemed advis- able, as the measuring of the yacht: would take some time.
