A warrant was sworn out yesterday morning by Frank E. Hartigan, man- eger of the Mobile Carriage Company, for the arrest of Mike E. Silva, for- merly employed as a chauffeur by the company. Silve, it is alleged, has been systematically overcharging pa- trons of the company and pocketing the surplus. The warrant charges him with misdemeanor embezzlement and bail is fixed at $100. The specific act of misconduct of which he is accused was committed on the night of August 6. when he exacted a fee of $12 50 from two patrons and turned in only §10 to the company.

The details are not fixed, but the general agreement of the directors to build has been ob- tained. Action may be taken at the next meeting of the board of direc- tors. The intention is to tear down the present structure and to begin the new building early next year.

S. H. Wingfield Digby, chaplain of the Seamen’s Insti- tute, will be played this afternoon on Adams’ ground, East Oakland. The Pacific cricket team will meet the San Francisco County eleven to- morrow for the fourth time during the present season on the ground at Web- | ster street, Alameda. The Pacific club | will be represented by the following: John Myers (captain), A. W. Wilding, E. H. Wilkes, W. Petherick, F. Lewin, B. M. Altman, Dr. O. N. Taylor, H. C. | Casidy, W. L. Flower, H. D. Bowly | and E. H. M. Lannowe. W. L. Flower | i8 a recent addition to the ranks of the | Pacific_Club. | The San Francisco County Club rep- | resentatives will be the following: Harold B. Richardson (captain), Henry Roberts, T. J. A. Tiedemann, E. M. | | Petersen, H. F. Pepys, M. Eubank, A. | #C. Chadwick, E. G. Sloman, P. R. John, | A. Davies and W. R. Stewart or W. E. Rooker. | The Pacific team is as strong a one as 1t has put into the field at any time | during the present season and, now that the San Francisco County Club | has lost its overwhelming superiority, should make a close and interesting contest. As the Pacific and San Fran- cisco County teams have the same per- centage. .63, for the championship of the California Cricket Association for 1904, the victory of either team in to- morrow’s match will put it at the head | of the percentage table, giving the | winner a percentage of .60, while the | loser will drop to .50, and have exactly the same percentage as the Alameda | club, which has played one match less than the Pacific and the San Francisco County teams will have done at closing time to-morrow. A. W. Wilding has been In British Columbia for two weeks, but returns in time to take part in to-morrow’s match. As he has played In three or four matches during his holidays, he has had plenty of practice. No match having been played last Sunday and the game played on Sun- day, July 81, not having been a sched- uled one, the standing of the clubs for the championship pennant remains as before: Pacific Club, .63; San Fran- cisco County Club, .63; Alameda Club, .60, and Santa Cruz Club, .33. The batting and bowling averages also re- main unchanged, as given in The Call of July 30. s S BT s Schussler Again Testifies. Little progress was made yesterday in the hearing of the suit of the Spring Valley Water Company to have set aside the water rate fixed by the Su- pervisors. Chief Engineer Schussler occuplied the stand in the morning and at noon an adjournment was taken until Monday. A map was offered in evidence showing the rainfall for the past fifteen years on the Alameda Creek system. Engineer Schussler said he was positive as to its accuracy. e RESIGNATION OF BLIGIBLES.—City At- torney Long vesterday advised the Civil Ser- {yics Commission ‘shat 1t i ‘without powss uto w restore' a person to- the eligible list resigned therefrom. . —_— BPORTEMEN WHO HAVE B SBUCCESSFUL THIS _YBEAR THETR QUEST FOR DEER. EEN IN i Sportsmen Find Their Game Within Easy Travel of the Metropolis. ——— It is always a matter of surprise to the layman to find that deer can be killed fn Marin and in other counties within a short ride of San Francisco. It is not intended to convey the idea that they are found in large numbers, although one sportsman reports having seen eighteen during a day spent afield near Gilroy. The most of the deer in the State are in the northern countles and are usually found at considerable distance from the railroads. George Dougherty, Lieutenant How- ard and J. Loughnane have just re- turned from a hunting trip to Hum- boldt County. They are found in their praise of that county as a sportsman’s paradise. They found both deer and trout in profusion. They went to BEu- reka by boat and thence thirty miles by rail to Altan Junction. After leaving the latter place they packed In sixty miles, making their camp at South Fork Mountains, near the Trinity County line. Each member of the party secured his legal limit on deer without diffi- culty. They counted thirty-six deer at one time and killed fiye of them in an hour, The trip was a rough one, but the hunters felt well repaid for their efforts. ‘Will Janssen secured three fine bucks recently on the Black Rock Range, near Laytonville, Mendocino County. He was accompanied by Miss Janssen, Albert Cahill and Miss Crowley. The latter, who is but 16 years old, is skilled in the arts of woodcraft. She is an ex- pert with the rifle and is a splendid equestrienne. In the absence of her father she manages his 10,000 acre ranch. She knows all the haunts of the deer and the trout. ‘While the party was out they jumped up four deer under one tree. They in- cluded three spike bucks and a forked horn. Frank W. Fuller, George P. Fuller and Clarence N. Roolin have returned from a succesful deer hung In Gravelly Valley, Mendocino County. Deer are unusually plentiful this year about Point Arena, Mendocino County. A party from the Point Arena Hot Springs had a highly successful hunt recently. Ten deer were killed in one day. J. R. Norris of this city secured three, 8. A. Pierce brought down two, Dr. W. A. McCornack, proprietor of the Springs, secured one, as did also Fred ‘Warren, Walter Foster, D. O. Becker and Tom Marich. Nels McGann, the guide, had out his famous deer hound Jet. The party filled out the day with some excellent trout fishing. Messrs, Al Winkle, Carl Carlson and ‘William Buttman of this city have re. turned from a three weeks’ trip to Buck Mountain, in Humboldt County. The party killed four deer, Mr. Winkle v | “Hy TENNIS CIAMPIO WILL PLAY IIERE Presence of Miss May Sutton, America’s Greatest Player, 'Will Help the Tournament U B The seventeenth annual tournaments for the tennis honors of the goast are less than three weeks away and the cracks are practicing as much as pos- | sible. The tournaments this year are | attracting unusual interest. This is| partly due to the fact that Miss May Sutton, the greatest woman player in America, will again be seen at San Ra- fael. The decision of Miss Sutton and her two clever sisters to participate has assured the success of the women's | events. Of course the champion will | have things all her own way, but a | match with either of her sistgrs is al- | ways interesting. The home players are not conceded a chance with the Suttons, but they are thought to be skillful enough to play Miss Violet or Miss Florence | rather close. Miss Hazel Hotchkiss | and Miss Ratcliffe are the best players | here and much is expected of them. The presence of several old players | will also make the contests unusually | interesting. The Hardy brothers may | play and Reuben Hunt, the new north- | western champion, has already entered | the tournament. Dr. Sumner Hardy | has expressed a willingness to play and | will do so if he can prevail upon his | brother, Sam, to agaln enter tourna- | ment play. Hunt has made an excel- lent showing in the East and the cracks are anxious to cross rackets with him. L] The project of bringing several of the Fastern cracks to the coast has been abandoned. The committee is doing nothing in regard to the matter and if the Easterners’'come they will do so at the last moment and on their own re- sponsibility. % The players that will compete this year are more evenly matched than ever before and no one outclasses the rest. Champion Bell will haye to be at his best to retain his title. Percy Mur- dock and Drummond MacGavin will be the mainstay of the north. A great deal is expected of Hunt, but he has not played here for nearly two years and little i1s known of his game. He must have improved considerably, however, to beat Waidner. From the southern part of the State Champion Bell and Fritz Overton will make a strong combination. If Sumner Hardy elects to play he would probably win the championship. In doubles. however, he and his broth- er would not have such a sure thing. MacGavin and Murdock and Bell and Overton would be hard men for the Hardys to beat. The Gglden Gate Tennis Club has planned & handicap doubles tourna- ment for Sunday. The last event of the kind was won by Charles Dunlap and Charles Foley. Many other teams have won the cups once. The young ladies of the Golden Gate Club Tennis Annex will hold a class singles on the park courts to-day. Play will be called promptly at 9:30. ‘hou.‘le is expected. % bringing down one of the largest bucks of the season. Irving Ingerman had some excellent sport after deer In the Guadalupe dis- trict in Santa Clara unty. He se- cured two five-poin! one weighing 146 pounds and the other 152 pounds. . AUTOISTS EAGER FOR DEL MONTE Races to Be Held at Summer | Resort Stir Much Interest Among Lovers of Motoring —— e The programme of races to take place under the management of the Automo- bile Club of California at Del Monte on the 26th and 27th inst. is ready for the printer, a little uncertainty about some detalls having prevented its being put into type sooner. A circular has been sent to the mem- bers of the club showing the rates for hotel accommodation and gasoline that will be charged during the meet. The inquiry for rooms at the Hotel del Monte has been so great that a full All' the members who intend to go down for the races, whether as contestants or spectators, are requested to inform the executive committee of the number of party, whether they will journey to Del Monte by the railroad or on motor qar, or will themselves travel by rail, shipping an automobile for use during the meet. The United States statute regarding | the conveyance of automobiles on ferry- boats carrying passengers permits ma- chines to be carried if any fire or flame about them is extinguished be- fore they are placed on the ferry-boat. The gasoline in the regular tank may be carried, but no additional supply is permitted. In passing off the ferry- boat at the end of the trip the motor car must be pushed. Hitherto the statute gave the captains or masters of steamboats carrying passengers the right to refuse, at their discretion, to convey motor cars de- pending for their operation upon gaso- line, naphtha or "any other burning fluid. The joint endurance run to be held by the automobile clubs of California and of Southern California is expected, according to the present arrangements, to begin on Wednesday, September 14. In some of the towns along the route it is not possible to purchase gasoline on a Sunday, and the present arrange- ment involves no traveling on that day. The cars from San Francisco will reach Ios Angeles on Saturday, Sep- tember 17, The automobilists will spend Sunday and Monday, September 18 and 19, in Los Angeles as the guestf of the Automobile Club of Southern California. On Tuesday, September 20, the San Francisco motorists will stare on their homeward trip, being accom- pained by the Los Angeles automebil- ists on thelr outward trip. They wil reach San Francisco on Friday, Sep- tember 23. The motorists of Southern California will stop in San Francisco as the guests of the Automobile Club of California Saturday and Sunday, Sep- tember 24 and 25, and will start back on Monday, September 26, to complete the run. They will arrive in Los An- geles on Thursday, September 29, The coming endurance run is excit- ing much interest not only in California but is becoming well known by the automobilists of the FEastern States, long accounts of the proposed route and conditions of the event having been published in the Eastern periodi- cals. —— .

Match Play, With Handieap —_— The annual tournament of the Pacific Coast Golf Association will be held at Del Monte next week, beginning Thursday and lasting as many daya | as may be rendered necessary by the [ number of entries. On the first day there will be an open event, which may be entered by amateur or professional players, for which prizes In meney, amounting at least to fifty dollars and probably to a larger sum, will be awarded to the professionals. Th> competition will be over thirty-six | holes, medal play, eighteen being play- |ed in the morning and the remaining eighteen in the afternoon. Entries should be made at the Hotel del Monta not later than the 17th inst. The fourth annual competitions for the open championship and women’s championship of the Pacifi | Coast Golf Association have been rost poned by the executive committ to some time in the fall. Mrs. E. T. Per- | kins (formerly Mrs. Jean W. Bowers | of Garvanza) of the Los Angeles Coun- | try Club, who won the women's cham- | pionship 'in 1903, still retains it. The annual competitions for the Del Monte cup for men and for the Del Monte cup for women will be the prin- cipal contests of the tournament. The | competitions will be at match play, if the number of entries is not so large as to preclude this manner of decid them. In order to induce as competitors as possible to enter, dicaps will be given. The competitions :“'Hl be held under the management of | the Pacific Coast Golf Association, | executive committee of which that the secretaries of the ass clubs earnestly endeavor to sect | many entries as possible.

H. Beaver, J. J. Crooks, W J. Casey; R. B. Hellman and R. J. Davis of the San Rafael Golf Club. An estimate has been mcde of the | number of golf courses in Great | Britain and Ireland. The figures are | only approximate and are said to be | rather- under than over the mark | There are many private courses and | some club links that are not included | There are more than one thousand courses in the United Kingdom, about |330 of them being of eighteen holies. | The total male membership of the golf clubs is nearly 170,000. The golfers play over §9,200 acres of land and pay rent amounting to about $400,000 per an- num. The late Lord Shand was an emin- ent British lawyer who was also an enthusiastic goifer. He was largely instrumental in securing the Braid | Hills as a publie course for Edinburgh, being the mover of the principal reso- | lution at a meeting convened in Ed |'burgh in 1885 to consider the matter. He played on some of the courses near London and presented the Shand medal, which s competed for annually on the Biarritz links. On the famous Musselburgh course a bunker bears the and,” but whether it ac- title from the frequency of his lordship's visits to it is not cer- tain. —_—————————— CHARLES CLARK 1S SUED | BY INJURED HOSTLER Son of )lonlxgr Senator Made De- fendant in Another Suit Filed in Superior Court. In the series of suits agairst Charles W.

This was settled out of court. Next a mining expert named Brigham sued for $500 fees said to have been promised for the examination of the X-Ray mine in Placer County. Y terday, through Attorney G. R. Li ens, Edward A. Whitlock, who E employed as a hostler in Clark’'s barns at San Mateo, began a suit for $10,- 000 damages for personal injugies sus- tained on September 28 of last year. According to Whitlock’'s complaint, he was instructed to mount a scaf- folding and assist in painting one of the barns. He declares that the scaf- folding was carelessly built and fel with him. His arm, he says, was broken and he was permanently crip- pled. Attorney Lukens said yesterday that Whitlock had demanded that he be retained in Clark’s employ at his for- mer salary, but that Clark had “passed it up” to his stable foreman one Donnelly, who said he would em- ploy Whitlock, but would only pay him what his services were worth. “On account of the attitude of Clark and his foreman,” said Lukens, “we have declded to ask the court for adequate relief.” ————.

Injunction papers were served yes- terday on City Treasurer McDougald and Auditor Baehr restraining them from paying the salaries of fifteer deputy registrars who were not ap. pointed from the civil service list. The injunctions are the result of suits in. stituted by Frank J. Symmes, presi- dcnt of the Merchants’ Association against Baehr and McDougald to stoy payment of the demands.
