Pape, OARSMEN FORM ASSOCIATION WANTS RACE GLOSS Portlander Eager to Meet Pape Next Spring. e On Monday night at the quarters of the Dolphin Boating Club, at the foot of Hyde street, a meeting was held at which representatives of the Delphin, Alameda and Ariel clubs were present | to discuss the formation of a new asso- | of this city and ciation for -oarsmen neighborhood. A member of the South End Rowing Club meeting. Tempcrary organization has been ef- fected, C. M. Farrell of the Dolphins being elected chairman and A. Kihn of the Alameda Club being secretary pro tem. It was decided that the sec- retary should address letters to the Olympic Boat Club and the Stockton Rowing Club, asking for. their co-oper- ation and membership, and to the Na- tional Association of Amateur Oars- men, asking for information in regard to joining that body. The new organi- zation is to be named the Pacific Asso- ciation of Amateur Oarsmen and is in- tended ultimately to include all the rowing clubs on the Pacific Coast. Two committees have been appointed, one to prepare a draft of a constitution and by-laws and the other to reclassify the oarsmen. The members of the South End Row- ing Club are showing great activity in aquatic matters. There is keen rivalry between F. R. Berman's and Frank Baker’s crews, each wishing the honor of representing the club in the junior barge class at next season’s regattas. Two races have already been held be- tween the crews. On Sunday, the 6th inst., Bergman’s crew won. Last Sun- day Baker's crew took first place. A third trial will take place to-morrow. The directors of the club intend to hold contests every fine Sunday. Light re- freshments will be served at the club- house. Many good swimmers are being de- veloped by the South End Club, and it is probable a mile race will take place between Judge A. J. Fritz and T. I Fitzpatrick and a contest for the heavyweight championship between I. Tuchler and John Ross. James P. Foley of the South End Rowing Club has received a letter from also E. O. Gloss of the Portland Rowing | o Club, the well-known single shell man. Gloss is desirous of arranging a race for the sculling champlonship of the the holder of the title, at any time between April and June of next year. Gloss, ! though handicapped by a poor beat, gave Pape a hard race some seasons ago, and in a new shell feels he can do better than on that occasion. Last Sunday there was a race be- tween E. Wolfe and A. Korn of the ! South End Rowing Club in outrigged gkiffs from the Mail dock to the club- house. The contest was close, Korn leading by less than a clear length when the finishing-line was reached. attended the { TENNIS DEVOTEES SHOW ACTIVITY Two Special Tournaments Are Scheduled for Decision Thanksgiving Day. —_— | There will be but little tournament iplay on the tennis courts this week, | !but two affairs are scheduled for | Thanksgiving day. The California Club | will hold a handicap singles for men { while a mixed doubles will be played on | | the park courts. | All of the best players in the club | | will be in the handicap event and there | | should be some interesting matches. It will probably be Champion MacGavin's | | last appearance on the tennis courts. He is going on a trip around the world and his stay may be ten years In length. He expects to locate in South | Africa, where he will have little time | | for tennts. | | The mixed doubles tournament will be the largest ever held on the coast. While there will not be as much class to the event as there is at San Rafael there will be many more teams than | ever participated in a similar event In | this city. Already nineteen teams have entered and there will probably be more by Wednesday night when the entries close. The best teams are: Will Allen_and Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, C. Grifin and Miss Bessie Valleau and C.| Dunlap and Miss Ratcliffe. To-morrow the handicap doubles tournament which has occupled the at- | tention of the park players for the last | two Sundays will be completed. In the finals the Baker brothers playing from “15 back of scratch” will be opposed to | Horace Mann and Robert Drolla, who | will receive odds of “three-sixths.” | | These two youngsters have played clev- | er tennis throughout the tournament and the steady Bakers will have their hands full winning. The finals of the first class of the Junior Club will be played to-day. Miles | HcLoughlin will meet Harold Getz. The former won the first tournament, and if he is successful in his match with| Getz the racket and case offered as first prize will go to him permanently. The directors of the California Club decided Tuesday. night to offer two three-time cups to replace the two won | by Long and Janes. They will not be competed for until next month. | The teams entered in the mixed dou- | bles tournament up to date are: | F. Adams and Miss B. Cully, Wil Allen | | and’ Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, Neil Baker and | Miss Worcester, George Baker and Miss Vera Crocker, A. Brabant and Miss 1. Smith, C.

SOUTHERN OWNERS HAVE SUCCESSFUL SEASON OF SPORT Greyhounds-of Los ‘Angeles Carry Off the Richest Stake Events. The most prominent of the Southern California leashmen who have had strings of greyhounds here during the past season have returned home well satisfied with their ycoursing pilgrim- age. Henry Waddington, whose greyhound Tom King won the rich John Grace cup, was the most successful of the invaders. In addition to this event Tom King placed other stakes to his credit. Mr. Waddington is an orange grower and will not be able to co north again until February, when h | will try to capture the California plate. Ed Janicke, another man from South- ern California, won the Junior Cham- pion stake with Eagle Bird. He also had a clever performer in Mt. Eagle. The last coursing meeting of the sea- son in the Middle West will be heid to-day at Blackwell, Oklahoma. T. J. Cronin has been elected a mem-= ber of the California Coursing Commit- tee, as a representative of the Inter- state Coursing Club. Mr. Cronin stands for all that is high class and honest in coursing. His great young dog Blaze, | which won the Futurity, is being rested in the country. He had some severe running and his owner was afraid to take a chance in starting him again until he has regained all his strength and vitality. The John Grace Cup stake furnished the best coursing seen here in years, The best eight dogs in the stake work. ed their way down through the early running and clearly demonstrated their class. The judging by P. J. Reilly and the slipping by James Grace were flaw- less, pleasing winners and losers alike, For the first time in years the betting on the flnal was at even money. The course proved the accuracy of the bet- tors’ judgment, as Tom King and Mec- Vey reached the hare on even terms. McVey secured the first turn by favor of the hare. With the last of this year's events out of the way the promotors are pre- paring already for the season to come. The Inaugural stake will be run at Union Park on New Year's day. The California Plate will be run as usual on Washington's birthday.
