This is the question followers of the game are puzzling over. It will be settled on the California Club courts to-mor- row at 2:30 o'clock. The contestants will be Percy Murdock, champlon, and Carl Gardner, challenger. : Champion Murdock is picked by a majority to win. but Gardner is con- d a chance by onme and all. He »d fine tennis in the finals against and Murdock will have to est to retain his laurels. Un- doubted furdock s a higher class man than Gardner, but the latter improving much more rapidly than the pia: former. Murdock 18 not a steady player, and If he happens to have an off day Gardner will probably take | his measure. The latter is not a bril- i liant player, but is steady. He has not had as much tournament experience as Murdock, nor has he been playing the game so long. To offset this Gardner has lLad dally practice for while Murdock has not than half a dozen games since last September. 1If the champion is at his best he should dispose Gardner bandiiy. Gardner will go into and for this reason will probably play a strong see Gardner give sc1t! even if he does not win. The match will be three sets out of five. The tournament finished on Thursday | did not possess as much ciass as thosc in the past, nor was the same Success attendant upon it. It showed, that there are more promising young plavers in the city than at any time in the past. The playing of Schmidt was a revelation. This young- ster has been ng for years, and he has always been considered promising. In the past he has always been too in- different to win. e went into _the tournament on Sunday determjned to win and tried for every point. The re- sult was he almost carried off - first houors. If he shows this spirit in the future iie will surely develop into a champion. He is the most graceful player in the cily, and has a remarka- nly good physique. His tennis career has been simiiar to that of MacGavin's, and when ambition overcomes his In- difference he will duplicate the coast _champion’s record. Gardner, the tournament winner, is another player who will have to be figured on in future champlonship events. Harry Rolfe played a rmuch better game thun was expected, and ! had he been xifted with the stamina of Schmidt he might have carried off the honors. Janes and Baker, two of the strong- est plavers in the eity, did not com- pete. They will probably be in the State championship tournament in July. With these two cracks added to it the entry list will be about the same as that for the San Francisco cham- plonship. The members of the ladfes’ ex will meet in a handicap singles tourna- wment for the Van Viiet cup on the park courts to-day. ——————— Search out all impurities and expel them from the system through the nat- wral channels by using Lash's Bitters. ¢ _|race for the Owners’ cup on Sunday, the ot | how- | ; ) '\I\ gvl TS S==2Y .. IHATEDR THRS SHL AT WiL There will be a reception and dancing! al the quarters of the San Franelsco | Yacht Club in Sausalito at 8:30 o'clock to-; night. To-morrow is an open date on-the | schedule of the San Francisco and Corin- thian vacht clubs. As the tide runs flood until 1:32 p. m. at Fort Point the condi-! tions are favorable for a cruise to Para-: dise Cove or McNears Landing. The tidé ! runs out until 5:55 p. m. at Fort Point. i The! California Yacht Club will hold its annual regatta for. class flags and the. 1th inst. For the class flag race the vachts of the fleet are divided into three | | classes, denoted A, B and ‘C. Class A in- | cludes the largest yachts and class C the | smallest in the fleet. In this event each vacht receives a time allowance based upon its racing length. The race for the | Owners’ cup is a handicap event, in which | each yacht receives an allowance deter- { mined by the regatta ¢ommittee from its known speed and previous performances. | The two events are sailed at the same | | time and over the same course. The re- j gatta committee chosen at the annual | | election of the California Yacht Club ! | consisted of A. M. Clay, G. L. Wakeman ! {and W. B. Beaizley. A. M. Clay’s time is | so taken up that he has resigned his po- { sition on the commliitee, being unable to : fulfill the dutics entailed by it. | The South Bay Yacht Club will hold a | regatta for eighteen-footers to-morrow, | the sailing time from Alviso being set at 2 p. m. -On Sunday, the 1lth, there will be a cruise in squadron, the starting time | from Alviso being § a. m. On Wednesday, the 14th, there will be a ball at the club- house. On the 17th and 1Sth inst. there will be an over-night cruise, and the Zth is ladles’ day, the time of starting from ‘the clubhouse being 9:15 a. m. On club days members of the South Bay Yacht Club may sail on any boat they wish, but jthose who desire to join an over-night {eruise are required to notify the secre- tary at least three days in advance, so that berths may be assigned to them. The fleet has sufficient accommodation to en- able members to sail on every scheduled | event, no special Invitations from the ! boat owners being required. Westerfeld and Morrow's sloop Aeolus |had a walkover in the thirty-foot class at the annual Decoration day regatta of the Corinthian Yacht Club. The owners did not intend to take part in the race, as during the holidays they had cruised jup to Army!Point, through Montezuma | Slough to Anticch and down to Paradise Cove. On reaching the course, however, they decided to sail round it and add an- other flag to their already large store. The racing sloop Coriuthian was out | for a spin on Decoration day, with Skip- | per Frank Stone at the wheel, but few of the regular crew were with him, Com- modore Jennings being on his own yacht, Vice Commodore J. C. Brickell having a party out on the Genesta and Douglas Erskine being on the regatta committee’s | steamer. | The regatta committees having the con- | test for the Challenge cup in charge have | arranged for the steamer Sunol to convey | spectators around the course and to keep up with the racing sloops. The judges arfi officials will be on another boat, as | they must be at the finishing line in good | season. The course is 131 nautical miles. | The racing length of the Challenger is | 28.60 feet. In lngt year's contest the rac- ing length of the Corinthian was stated { in the letter of challenge as 29.91 feet, and { this measurement being taken as the: basis of time allowance she conceded 2.04 ' | minutes to the San Francisco boat. The| | actual measurement of the Corinthian | being 2850, the Challenger will recelve & | small allewance in this year's contest. —————————— i i WARRANTS TO BE SWORN OUT FOR MANY BUTCHERS : District Attorney Says Use of Harme less Adulterants in Meats Is a Violation of the Law. Health Officer Ragan had a confer- Byington relative to swearing out war- rants for the arreést of the butche! who adulterated their meats to givi them a fresh color. Byington is of th opinion that it will not be necessary to prove that the coloring matter used is deleterious to health in order to se- | cure a conviction. He says it will only be necessary to show that the adulter- ants were used. It was decided to| swear out warrants for some sixty-five | of the alleged offenders mw 8 claim Byington takes no stock in 2 made that the use of harmless adulter- | ants is not a violation of the law. it e ey % | that the fish are undersized. tence yesterday with District Attorney | TROUT STREANS JRAW NCLERS The call of the trout streams seems ir- resistible these days, and an unusual num- ber of city sportsmen are putting their angling luck to the test. The streams, both large and small, are yielding good returns, but there is a general complaint The Truckee | 1s lower than for years at this time and many fish are being taken. . ‘Ward and Austin creeks at Cazadero still yield big returns, although the fish are rather small. W. D. Fountain is the fisherman'’s friend at Cazadero. He knows where the best Is are to be found and acts as guide and mentoro the men from the city. Achille Roos, W. C. Murdock, Louis Titus and T. C. Kierulff have had good sport on the Upper Sacramento, near Cas- tella. Mr. Kierulff secured forty trout the first day he went on the stream. One of these was a two-pounder. All the fish were taken on the fly. Two weeks hence the river will be in much better condition. The best sport was obtained between bridges 14 and 15, near Castella. Lake Lagunitas, forty-five .minutes’ walk from Ross Station, in Marin Coun- ty, will be opened to anglers to-day. Fishermen must have a permit from the water company. They must not use bait, a fiy or spoon being the only lure permit- ted. The lake is open from 8 to 4 o'clock for persons with the proper ecredentials. Among the men who will wet a line there to-day will .be Frank Marcus, Charles Breidenstein, Jullus Bruns and' Bert Harwood. Mr. Breldenstein fished the Purissima early in the week with a friend. They had a joint catch of seventy-five fish. There is not much size to the fish in the stream, and Mr. Breidenstein voices the opinion of anglers when he says the stream should be closed for a season or so to give the fish a chance to develop. The season in which black bass may be taken opened on the 1st inst. and will con- tinue until December 31. These fish put up a game fight and are highly prized by sportsmen. There are some in the Rus- slan River, but they are hard to capture. Some sloughs near Stockton and numer- ous sloughs near Yolo, between Sacra- mento and Dixon, contain these fish. They are taken with all kinds of lures—worms, spoons, bass flies, live frogs and live min- nows being some of the favorite ones. Joe Uri and Jim Turner will go after black bass to-day on a private lagoen, ‘where they are promised good sport. Joseph Doyle and party left yesterday for the Yosemite. They will remain a month in the valley and will whip its streams carefully. W. A. L. Miller and Joseph Pincus were on the Carmel recently. They found the stream full of fish, but they were small in size. Eli Marks goes to Webber Lake next week. He does not expect much sport, as the lal is teeming with minnows, upon which the trout feed. They are big, lazy fellows and few aré taken. Bert Spring and a large party left on Thursday for the Big Meadows for a twa | weeks’' stay. W. Burlingame reports the fishing there as being better than for ng Sailors![ 1 in seven strokes from a distance JUNCIL'S CUP Begin To-Day on Links of the San Rafael Club MERCED COURSE READY San Francisco Players to Move to New Quarters at Ing!eside in Few Weeks The final round of the contest for the Gustav Sutro cup will be played to- morrow on the links of the San Ra- facl Golf Club between A. S. Lilley and J. J. Crooks. The match will Dbe over 36 holes, 18 being played before and the remaining 18 after luncheon. A cup bas been presented to the San Rafael Golf Club for competition in a ladies’ tournament. In the driving competition held on the Happy ley course on Decoration® day eagh competitor drove three bails: As the contest was one of accuracy as well as ‘of distance, no ball that _fell outside of the course was counted. A 5. Lilley won with' three drives, hav- ing a carry of 166, 164 and 182 yards; total, 492 yards. In the approach-putting contest held on the same day each competitor loft- €d threé balls over a net guarding the green and holed- them out. George Hell- man, the winner, holed the three ou: o 45 yards. . Two or three of his fellow competitors accomplished the task in cight strokes. On the same day an 18-hole tourna- ment was played, the gross scores be- ing reckoned as the qualifying rounds of - the competition for the Council's cup for ‘men, and the net scores; after deduction’ of handicaps, for a special trophy offered to the players making the best net score.

Lilley. - The competition held in Sep- tember of last year for the Couneil's cup was won by A.S. Lilley, and the contest in May. 1904, by E. J. Hooper. On the links of the Claremont Coun- try Club on Decoration day a contest over 36 holes, match play, against Logey, was held. It was won by R. M. Fitzgerald_with a gross score of 13 down, less 8, net 11 down. The best gross scoré wus made by F. Kales, who was 17 down. Fou¥teen players made returns. Work on the new clubliouse of the San Francisco Golf and Country -Club is progressing, and the course is al- ready in good condition. ‘The club- house adjacent to the Presidio Reserva- tion must be given yp on ‘August 1. It is possible it may bé retaimed as the headquarters of the Presidio Golf Club, the membérs of which will be the resi- dents of the park now being laid out on the tract adjoining the scuth wall of the reservation and First avenue. ————————— LACROSSE PLAYERS DESIRE TO ORGANIZE A THIRD CLUB Olympie Team JWill Play for Pacific Coast Champlouship at Lewis and Clark Exposition. So many good lacrosse players live in or near San Mateo and a third club is £0 necessary for the maintenance of the game In this region that President Blackwell. and the other members of the executive committee of the Califor- nia Lacrosse Association will use their best efforts to organize a club and to get a good player to take the manage- ment of the team. The club may retain the name Tala- goo or may adopt a new appellation. It will comprise members of the Tala- goo Club and of the San Mateo Athletic Club. It is pessible Dr. McNaughton, an old lacrosse player of Toronto, Can- ada, will assume charge of the team. The match between the Talagoo and Olympic teams, set down for to-mor- row on the Presidio athletic grounds, has been called off. The Olympic Lacrosse Club has re- ceived a challenge from the Seattle La- crosse Club to play a series of games either in San Francisco or Seattle. The Seattle team is managed by H. E. Ken- nedy and will compete with the strong teams of British Columbia. The Olym- pic Club has accepted the challenge and suggests July or August as a suitable time. One month’'s notice is requested, so that there may be an opportunity for the players here to arrange for their summer vacations at the time of the northern trip. The Olympic Lacrosse Club is also trying to make arrangements for matches with the Los Angeles team. An Olympic team will go to the Lewis and Clark Exposition in September to play for the championship of the Pa- cific Coast. The club expects to gain some recruits who are familiar with the game and before the end of the sea- years past. He fished at the Big Springs, ] son to have as strong a tedm as any on the Hamilton branch and the reservoir, and in each secured a good basket. trout range from one-half to two and one-half pounds in weight. Dr. Bull and wifé of Alameda, both en- thusiastic anglers, are having great sport at the Meadows. Colonel Kelihor and J. V. Stevens are at Baird, on the McCloud. The weather is said to be cold.

The flily Bonnie Me, bred and owned by W. H. Lumsden of Santa Rosa, is to carry. California’s colors in the great event this year, and she glves gvery promise of proving equal to the ordeal Bonnie Mc is by Charles Grifiiths’ great pacer Bonnie Direct, 2:06%. the champlon of. his day. Her Jam is that popular old mare Myrtle, 2:13%, by Anteeo. It was back in 189 that two flllles, Myrtle and Vida Wilkes, started in the Occident Stake at Sacramento. Myrtle was named in the race by her breeder, the late Isaac De Turk of Santa Rosa, | while Vida Wilkes was the representativi | of the famous Cerbett farm at San Ma- teo. Myrtle was handled by “Bill" Me- Graw of Silas Skinmer fame, while the late John Goldsmith held the ribbons over Vida Wilkes. The wise money was down on Vida, and at odds of four and three to one, poured into the peel box, while the “grape pickers™ from Sonoma County quietly took the other end. It was easy for Myrtle, and she won In three straight heats. She started a few times the next year, but was retired with a “leg,” and placed in the brood-mare ranks. She then became the property of Mr. Lumsden, who patched her up in 139, when she was 1l years old, and started her in.a race at Santa Rosa. She recled off a mile in 2:13%, knocking six seconds from her former mazk, and was then re- tired to the farm to spend the balance of her days as & matron. She is the dam of that fast trotter Robigola, 2:13%. which Millard Sanders raced on the Grand Cir- cuit two years ago. Her three-year-old daughter, Bonnie Me, will add further to her reputation as a producer of speed. Bonmnie Mec trotted a mile in 2:22 last April with & half In 1:05% and a quarter in 2% seconds. This seems marvelous speed for one of her age so early in the year, but she will have to trot much faster to win, as the Kentucky Futurity is gen- erally a record breaker. Last year Grace Bond won it and her winning heats were 2:09%, 2:09% and 2:09%. In 1904 Sadie Mac carried off the big end of the purse, 2:12% belng her fastest heat, and the year before Nella Jay won with 2:143% tbe best time. Bonnie Mc will meet the pick of the three-year-old trotters of Ameriea 'in this race. She will be driven by Ed Benyon, the Kentucky trainer, who has a reputation’ for winning big ceit stakes. Bonnie Mc reached Lexington last week and will be given a_ careful preparation for the race, which comes off in September. Among the other starters will be W. A. Clark’s Kentucky bred colt Bon Voyage, which won the two-year-old division last year, driven by Charles Marvin. Bon Voyage has wintered at Los Angeles in charge of Ted Hayes. His record is 2:15 as a two-year-old. Lou Dillon is billed to start for Cleve- | 1and on Monday. She will probably have her last work-out this morping at San Jose. She has been taking her fast exer- cise on Tuesdays and Saturdays during | the past two months before admiring crowds who visit Agricultural Park in the Garden City especially to see the trotting queen in agctien. The Los Angeles list of entries was not as large as expected, but shows an average of nearly eleven for each event. This should result in good flelds of starters. The 2:09 class pace has seven of the fastest side wheelers on the coast entered. The little stallion Daedalion 2:10, owned by A. Ottinger of this city, is the horse the winner will have to beat. The other entries in this event are Zolock 2:09%, Kelly Briggs 2:09%, Alone 2:09%, Le Rol 2:10%,. Ira 2:10% and Jonesa Busler 2:11%. Daedallon beat Kelly Briggs last year at Santa Rosa, and there was much talk of a $2000 match between the two this spring. but it néver got beyond talk. If both start at the Los Angeles meeting it should be a fight to a finish and one of the best betting races seen there in years. One of the most improved trotters in training on the coast is Captain J. R. Bennett's Dr. Hammond 2:12%, which is taking his work at the San Jose track. He looks and acts as if 2:10 would be easy for him this year. Lady Zombro is expected to win a few races and get a low record on the Grand Circuit, which begins at Detroit during the latter part of July. P. W, Hodges is training her at San Jose and a half in 1:02% has already been shown by the daughter of Zombro. She will be taken to Los Angeles and started In the 2:17 class trot and then shipped to Detroit. Lady Zombro has heen entered in the big stakes all through the grand eircuit. —_——— Bartender Shoots WHdly.
