The bridge was raised last Sunday and the yacht owners were ready to take their i | | | at hand. The victory of the Tacoma aggre- gation illustration of what a well organized ball team can do. It also demonstrates what a heady leader like Charles Graham is capable of ac- complishing with a team that was far frem being a stellar aggregation on paper. The Tigers were trained to be game and to fight. They lived up to is an Bl | this tutoring in all but two series with Oakland. After showing the yellow streak for a while, they rallied once again and came back fighting till they jumped into the lead once more and galloped in lengths ahead of the | field. From a financial standpoint, the de- cisive victory of the Tigers in the second half is a disastrous thing. Just imagine the crowds that Oakland and Tacoma would draw in this city in a pcst-season contest. The manage- ment loses thousands of dollars and the public misses the chance of seeing a royal contest between two evenly matched ball teams. But the for- tunes of the national sport have been shared by the Tigers alone, and they managed to triumph while their op- ponents were found wanting. The race with all its fauits has been one of the most exciting in the history of baseball in any league. During the first half, Oakland, Tacoma, Los An- geles and Seattle were all bunched at the top of the ladder and only a few points separated the four of them. The Tigers then showed their true colors, while the Commuters slumped and displayed the yellow streak. The Angels never fought hard enough to figure, while Seattle lost through overconfidence and hard luck at the last moment. San Francisco, as usual, proved a tramp team—a team that did not even get the sympathy of the home crowds. Away from home, the Seals could not win a series. When the fans did get warmed up and expected something, the Harris aggregation al- ways fell down. At that, they have played great ball during the last month and are about certain of beat- i The California Coursing Committee, | the governing body of the sport of the | leash on this coast, has made a rec- ommendation to the managers of the various coursing parks under its juris- diction, which, if accepted, will change |the system of punishing offenders | against the laws of coursing. | Under the present conditions the | park officials fix the penalty for any | violations of the rules. The person thus punished then has the right of {appeal to the California | Committee. The new idea is for the park man- |agement to suspend any owner or | 8reyhound and to refer the case to |the coursing committee which will | consider it at its next meeting. After hearing the testimony it can inflict the punishment. This will relieve the park management of much responsi- | ‘b:lu_\ and also of the charge of preju- dice. | After the accused person -has had an impartial trial it will be much | more difficult for him to be reinstated than under the present eonditions. The ‘inr-\\' tem has many advantages and | will undoubtedly be adopted. A reserve stake of sixty-four entries will make up the card for Union | Coursing Park to-morrow. The grey- | hounds are unusually well matched. | The likely winners: Iieserve staker—Forest Fire, Medley, Quita, Frisky Boy, Panoche, Rocked A , Jigamaroo, The Referee, ~MUggSY, Wedgewood, Charter Member, Frisky Barbara. | Red "Rock, Texas Jill.

There will be but one day’'s coursing at Ingleside Park this week. The first round of a reserve stake will be com- menced at 10:30 o'clock to-morrow. After the intermission the final of last Sunday’'s stake, between La Rosa and Lucy Clair, will be decided. After this the champion stake will be run. The likely winners: Reserve stake—Old TIronsides, Sir Winton, Frank C, Bright Columbia, Tamora, Our Motto, Royal Friend, Remisso 'Animo, 'The Duke, Commercial Traveler, Fretter, Mark Twain, Peerless Beauty, Daisy Rocket, Humboldt, Modest Beauty, Doc Burns, Courtly Guest, Smiler, Ragged Actor, Pasha Pleasant, Ouida, Sacramento Boy, Rolling Boer. Class stake—Belle Free, Rose, Clover Blossom, The winter season of coursing will open at Stockton on December 9 and will continue until late in the spring. There are a large number of high-class greyhounds available and good running is expected. A draw will be held every Friday evening. ———— e Re-enacts Old Ordinances. The Supervisors’ Judiciary Commit- tee yesterday recommended the re- enactment of fourteen old ordinances containing police regulations recom- mended by Chief of Police Wittman. The subject matters of the ordin- ances are not covered by the Penal Ceode and Wittman urged that they be put into force as essential to the peace and welfare of the community. The proposed ordinance prohibiting the shaking of dice for money in'places open to public view was also recom- ‘mended.

Barge, Mountain s SRS CE 2R Coursing | | | win events were started on Thursday and by to-morrow night five tournaments will have been completed. The mixed doubles tournament will be finished this afternoon on the Golden Gate Park courts. The remaining matches in the handicap singles will be played to-morrow the California Club courts. The mixed doubles event proved un- usually interesting and was produc- tive of some good tennis, Miss An- nabel Vodden and Charles Foley (owe 3-6) will play Miss Ethel Rat- cliffe and Charles Dunlap (owe 15 3-6) in the semi-finals. It is ex- pected Miss Ratcliffe and Dunlap will on this match, although their op- ponents are two clever young play- ers. In the second round one match re- mains to be played. Major Van Vleit and his daughter, Sarita, play- ing from scratch, be opposed to RO, M w 1 oble and Miss Mary Ratcliffe, who re ‘15 3-6" behind scratch. George Baker and Miss Vera Crocker (owe 3-6) will play the winner of this match in the semi-finals. All matches, including finals, will consist of two sets out of three. Excellent judgment was used by the tournament committee of the Cal- ifornia Club in allotting the handicaps on Thursday. In events of this kind as a rule only the best players sur- vive the first day's play. Of the nine men left four are on the “owe 15" mark, one scratch, one “15,” two “15 3-6” and one *30 3-6.” The only match left in the second round is that between Harry Rolfe and Sherwood Adams. They will meet on even terms and it is a toss-up between them. Rolfe is a steady player, but Adams is probably a higher class man, somewhat out of practice. The winner will be called upon to “owe 15" and give “30 3-6” to M. Little. These are tremendous odds, but it is thought either one can dis- pose of the limit man. A good match will result when George Janes and Melville Long come together. Janes defeated Herbert Long on Thursday and it is safe to say the younger Long will do his best to lower Janes’ colors. Janes will allow Long owe odds of 15. Long is consid- ered by many to be almost as clever as his opponent and with his handicap his chances look good. The last match in the third round will be between Will Collier and George Cutler. The handicapper probably underrated Cutler and he will make trouble for his opponents. The match between Long and Janes was a hard fought affair and shows how evenly matched are these clever young players. As a rule Long beats Janes in practice, but the latter plays a steadier tournament game. —_—— Healy Tumbled Off the Porch. John Healy, while carrying an over: cargo of Thanksgiving cheer, tum- bled off the back porch of his resi-' dence at 430 Clementina street at 3 o’clock yesterday morning. The in- Jjuries which he received were treated at the Emergency Hospital. —_——— When love sets the task the laborer championship of the California Asso- | ciation Football League are scheduled to take place to-morrow.

The Independents have no match to-morrow, having drawn the bye. The Occidental and Independent teams have six points each to their credit for the championship of the California Association Football League, but the Occidentals have play- ed only three matches, winning all, while the Independents have taken part in four contests, one of Which -Jaques .Lees they lost.

During the day there will heK a golf tournament, competitions in lawn tennis and Scotch bowling and a trap-shooting contest. In the afternoon there will be music and refreshments in | the clubhouse. H The road leading to the club grounds will be completed during the coming | week. Visitors from San Francisco | should travel by the Key Route, taking | the Piedmont line and getting off the | cars at the last station. Cars will con- | vey them thence to the club. The first nine holes of the new course are ready for play, and work is being done on the second nine. The course for the first nine holes requires straight and accurate driving, for a ball which falls outside of it will be as good as| lost. The remaining nine holes are laid | out on open land. affording unlimited | scope. George Smith, the resident pro- fessional of the old Oakland Golf Club, | says the new course when the eighteen! holes are completed will be superior to | any links in California. A handicap tournament over eighteen holes, medal play, was held on the | links of the San Francisco Golf Club on Thanksgiving day. The prize offered | for the best gross score was won by Dr. J. R. Clark with 83. The course, in spite of the rough treatment it re- ceived from the soldiers, is in fair con- | dition. The eight players who made the best scores, after deduction of the handicaps, qualified for the hnndicnp; competition over eighteen holes, match | play. Those who qualified and their net scores were: Dr. J. R. Clark, G. E. Starr, Rolla V. Watt and R. 1. Bentley, 82 each; Worthington Ames, 83; L. F. Monteagle, 84, and R. G. Hanford, 8. S. C. Buckbee and W. H. La Boyteaux, having made net scores of 86 each, will Detectives | play off for the eighth place. The hand- icaps given in the qualifying round will be kept throughout the competition.
