Crowell, W. A. Stringer, J. H. Sharpe and Stuart Middlemas; regatta committee, Thomas J. Kavanagh, Douglas Erskine and Charles Gerlach.

Yacht-owners are well repre- sented by John C. Brickell, owner of the sloop Genesta; W. F. Stone, designer, builder and owner of the sloop Pr.sto; W. A. Stringer, formerly commodore and present owner of the sloop Freda, and J. H. Sharpe, owner of the sloop Harpoon.

There is quite a comradeship between the members of the Oakland Canoe~Club and those of the Encinal Yacht Club at Alameda, joint races and entertainments | being held. The cancelsts are thinking of building several boats of one design, and it is probable that the members of the Encinal Yacht Club wil adopt the same design for 15-footers, with self bail- ing cockpit. A boat of this type may be sailed in the roughest weather and will i hold several persons for an afternoon trip on the creek.

The boys’ class sin- gles event, commenced,last Saturday, will be completed, and the young ladies will meet in a draw doubles tournament for rackets. At the California Club the mem- bers will participate in a handicap singles tournament. The public' court experts have had a long rest from tournament play, and all are anxlous for the fray, A draw doubles tournament as'a rule is neither interest- ing nor exciting, but it will give the poor- er players a chance to perform with and against the cracks. The drawing will be held to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock on the park courts. The handicap singles tournament to be played on the California Club courts to- morrow is the second cf a series for a three-time silver loving-cup. The last event of the kind was won handily by restaurant, E. J. Lynch performing the | Melville Long. The latter received slight 0dds from several of the other contest- ants, but henceforth will be one of the most heavily handicapped players. Her- bert Long, Carl Gardner, Harry Rolfe, Herbert Schmidt and George Busch will probably all be placed 30 or 0 3-§ below scratch. As in recent bandicap events, the poorer players will receive large odds. ‘The following players have also signified their intention to play: H. R. Burroughs, ,Henry Mills, C. J. Smith, H. E. Punnett, A. B. Webster, H. Gabriel, Dr. Love- grove, W. G. Knowlton, G. P. Fuller, M. ‘Warner, ‘A. Kenyon, R. D. Fry, H. A. Biddle and B. F. Nourse. . The concluding rounds of the boys' class single tournament should prove interest- irg. The first class finished last Satur- day and was mon by M. McLaughlin. In the second class four players remain. The first match will be between Batkin and Axelrod. The winner will meet W. Patterson in the semi-finals. W. Marcus is in the finals and Wwill be opposed to elther Batkin, Axelrod or Patterson. The following matches remain to’ be layed in the third class: i ’Bemnd round—Murtay vs. Garcla, Cohn vs. Lloyd, Finlay vs. R. Smith, H. Levy vs. D. Clark or Levy, Rosenshine vs. T. Willlams, Hobson vs. Herndon, Crane ve. ‘Torrey and Brunn vs. Greenberg. - Several matches have been played in the ladies’ continuous tournament at the Cali- fornia Club since its Inception, but there ‘have been but few changes in the stand- ing of the contestants, which is fol- lows: ,No. 1, Miss Valleau; No. 2, Mrs. ‘Wiemoski; No. 3, Miss E.

The Eagles will meet the F. Lynch, tormerly of the Independents and now of the Olympie Club, being the referee. The Albion Rovers will play against the Santa Cruz eleven at Free- man’s Park, Golden Gate, J. Fewster being the referece. The Oakland Hor- nets are matched against the San Fran- cisco team, the game to be played at the Presidio athletic ground, with Arthur Roblnson as referee. On the ground in Oak Park, Sacramento, the Sacramento eleven will meet the Inde- pendents, L. H. Isern being the referee. The only contest that seems likely to be at all close is that between the Hornets and the San Franciscos. In the other three a leading team v matched against one of the tail-enders.

It was discovered that there are several flaws in the amended by-laws, the most serfous one relating to the transfer of players from one club to another. prohibited the transfer of players after December 31 of each season, but in the which a transfer may not be made. Any transfer from one club to another at any time is, therefore, legal; a fact that may disturb the calculations of some of the strongest clubs, as fhere is a possibility that the best players may crowd into one club for the games to be played by the California Associa- tion Football Union cup. L. R. Gill- chrest, who played with the Sacramento Club, has registered with the Oakland Hornets.
