SEATLLE, Feb. 4.—Seattle sold the release of Jay Hughes, the pitcher, yes- terday to the San Francisco eclub. Terms private, as they say in real estate deals. Jay would not pitch for Seattle last year because he thought | he was still worth a big league salary, while he had demonstrated the year | betore that whatever money he got was | under false pretenses, so he put in al- most an entire year hunting around Sacramento and umpiring an occasional game in the bush league. When Clunie bought the San Fran- | cisco club from Uncle Henry one of his first acts was to send Jack Gleason to Sacramento to see how Jay looked and if he was not too fat to begin negotia- tions for his release.

Only two goals were made during the four periods of play and he scored both of them. The game attracted an un- usually large gallery, both of the fashion- able set and of the peeple of the country- sfde. R. M. Tobin brought a large party in his four-in-hand Park drag. Other spectators came in automobiles. The teams lined up: Whites—P. D, Martin, C. R. Tobin, J. O. Tobin, Captain Wood. Reds—E. J. Tobin, Paul Clagstone, F. J. Ca- rolan, R. M. Tobin. Referee—Thomas A. Driscoll. Score—Whites 2, Reds 0. Captain Wood, the English visitor, ap- peared in the saddle for the first time. He was off his game after his long spell of truveling and did not play up to his best standard. He played back for the Whites, and E. J. Tobin, who played No. 1 for the Reds, was commissioned to ride him off during the play. This he did effectually for a time, the captain invaria- bly finding his opponent between himself and the ball. Cyril Tobin scored the first goal a few seconds after Referee Driscoll tossed in the ball. Mr. Tobin picked the ball out of a scrimmage and ran it down the fleld unaided. The last stroke was a good shot at a difficult angle, but the ball went be- tween the posts. The Whites had the ball around thelr goal nearly all the period. R. M. Tobin saved one goal by a clever backhand stroke when the ball was near- ly through. Neither side scored in the second perfod, although there was a lot of desperate galloping. The ball was driven outside repeatedly to save possible goals. Cyril; Tobin nearly scored early in the third perfod. He hit the ball too hard and it went outside. 'Snortly after R. M. Tobin had the ball out in front, but broke his stick at an inopportune time. Just before the end of the period Cyril Tobin | scored the second and last goal of the game. The opposing players did not go after him in earnest, as there was a cry of “offside.” This was not allowed and the goal counted. The Reds forced the pace in the last period, but could not score. Cyril Tobin Tt | was offside in one of the plays and the aid not take long to fix up the deal, for | Reds were given a free stroke from the center of the fleld. They were not able to convert it into a goal. Francis J. Carolan has placed his pri- vate polo field at Crossways Farm at the disposal of the Burlingame Club until the latter's new field is ready for play. Mr. Carolan’s generous action makes the field a public one. This does away with the objections both of players and of spectators who did not wish to appear as intruding on private grounds. There Is a commodious public stand on the south side of the fleld from which every move- ment of the players may be watched. This is always open to the public. quhen' ono.ll: n'.fllhstod with rheumatism} to obtain relief as speedily as possible 1s the first consideration; take Las] Kidney and Liver Bitters, e 0% % OLYNPIC TEAN S DEFEATED Lose the First Handball Match of the Series to Condon and Leach e g Joseph Condon, champlon of the Occl- dental Club, and Thomas Leach, cham- pion of the St. Ignatius Club, won the first series in the hard handball cham- plonship match yesterday by defeating George James and Louis Levy of the Olympic Club by one point. The games were played at the Olympic Club before an immense crowd and the playing was of the sensational order. Condon and Leach eaptured the first two games in clever style and then James and Levy buckled down to wotk and gathered the next two by fast playing. ‘With the score two-all, the quartet start- ed in on the final game. Condon hegan to play great ball and scored many points. James began to serve hard and “kill” and ran the score to 12, and Leach raised it to 19 points. With two points to go, Condon and Leach went out from low “kills” and James followed the same route. It looked like a foregone conclu- sion when Levy went in to serve. He served low ones to Condon and made it even up, and then passed Condon, the score standing 20 to 19. Only one point was needed to give the Olympic Club men the match. The crowd was yelllng and Levy was nervous. He served an easy one to Condon, who drove it to the back wall and James tried to “kill” but missed. Leach then went In and won the game by one point. Condon played a wondertully clever game and was backed up by Leach. James was strong and used great judg- ment in his playing. George Cunningham was referee and scorer. The quartet will play agaln next Sunday. If Condon and Leach win, they will be awarded a sflver cup put up by the Olympic Club.

Wixson o e S T BiE R e SR e W%Y.M | RICHARD ANTON TAKES DERBY After an Exciting Course James Sweeney’s Dog Wins From Fast Davy Crockett oL C e R, James Sweeney won a popular victory when his great greyhound Richard Anton defeated Davy Crockett for final honors in the California Derby run yesterday at Ingleside Coursing Park. The deciding course was a sensational trial, and when Sweeney's dog took possession of the game from his opponent and ran up a sequence of points that gave him the flag the spectators cheered wildly. In the class stake Pony Capitol took first honors from Presidio Boy in the deciding course. The Derby brought out the fleetest coursers now performing in this country, and many fast Eastern entries tried to lower the colors of the coast champions. The largest crowd that has been in this park for some years was present to see the crack dogs measure strides. The running showed up a dog that was heretofore considered only ‘a fair per- former in Davy Crockett. He is & young dog and has Dbeen steadily imoroving. ‘When he hooked up with Panoche, which was considered by the talent to be the fastest dog in the stake, they laid 4 to 1 that Panoche would raise the flag. The outsider took Panoche to the hare by a good margin and won an easy victory. In his subsequent trials Crockett was made a big favorite over Barge, Carlow Boy and Frank C, which he defeated in succession. Sweeney had Anton in excellent shape and the big black dog showed great speed. The talent bet 2 to 1 against Anton in the final race probably because he had harder running than Crockett. They were slipped to a hare that ran in front of the grandstand. Anton broke in front by a couple of lengths, but Crockett came along -with a great burst of speed and when the hare was reached both were on even terms. The hare swung to the black dog, which gave him, the turn. He forced the hare for another turn when Crockett took the game and ran up a series of points. The short end would not be denied and he again took possession, | and with a great exhibition of cleverness scored several successive points and killed, giving him the flag, ending a great race. The results: Champion stake, first Bon Ami; Foxhunter beat Asicep beat Flower Girl; Frask C beat Or- sina; Davy Crockett beat Panoche; Barge beat Shotgun; Wild Turkey beat Belle Marie; Carlow Boy beat Agile Spurt; Lord Sefton beat Renegade Apache; Jim Lamb beat L L C; Lady Kelp beat Fetterless; Belmont beat Kee- ley’s Malt; Fiery Baden beat Four Paw; Rich- ard Anton beat Eurasia; Honest John beat La Rosa; Freeport beat Mr. Lonjers.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL 1S PLAYED AT PRESIDIO Independents Win From the San Fran- cisco Team After One Player Is Disabled. An interesting game of Association football was played on the Presidio Athletic grounds between the Inde- pendents and the San Franciscos yes- terday afternoon, in which the score stood 1 to 0 in favor of the former team. Although the Independents lost one of their men in the first ten min- utes of the game, and were compelhdl to finish the game with ten men, they did not despair, but immediately began ! to play several combinations, and wmli the aid of their strong fullback play- ers succeeded in winning a point dur- | ing the last five minutes of the game. _ William Evans, one of the best play- | ers in the Independent team, ¢ Central Emergeney Hospital. soow recovered, however, and will be able to play in the next game in which his team will take part. ~ ¥ EDITED BY R. A. SMYTH WINNING TERNS SHONN BY LONG Scores His Second Sueccessive Vietory on the Club Courts, Allowing Big Odds STYLE IS EFFECTIVE George Baker and Turner Cargy Off the Honors on the Park Courtsm Two tennis tournaments were completed yesterday. Melville Long again carried off the honors at the California Club, while George Baker and J. K. Turner won the draw doubles at the park. The weather ‘was perfect for tennis and many spectas tors witnessed the games. Yesterday's victory makes it two In & row for Long. Playing from 30 3-§ back of scratch and allowing big odds in both events, young Long won with ease. His game is effective under handicap condi~ tions, and he stands an excellent chance of carrying off the three-time cup. It was expected Ceorge Fuller would make trouble for young Long, but the latter beat him without an effort. Fuller last Sunday disposed of H. Long with the same odds in straight sets. The fact that Herbert beat Meiville in the round-robin led many to believe Fuller would beat the latter. Fuller did his best, but Long's caretul style of play made his opponent an easy victim. In the finals Long disposed of Moulten Warner without much of an effort. The odds were owe 30, but they did not prove big enough for Warner to win a set. The first two sets were one-sided, but in the third Warner made a good showing. Harold Gabriel won his matches so eas- ily last Sunday as to cause many to com~ cede him a good chance against Long. The latter won, as in his other matches, in straight sets. Gabriel played brilliant tennis at times and almost won the first set. Long was much too steady for his opponent and took the second set easily. Gabriel had a handicap of owe 2-6. In the semi-final Chester Smith and Moulten Warner met on practically even terms and the latter won in stralght sets. Warner won the first set easily, but Smith forced him to a deuce set In the second. The victory of Baker and Turner at the park was by no means a surprise. They looked to be the best team in the compe- tition, and their play yesterday proved ft J. Cahill and J. Kahn were opposed t@ Baker and Turner in the finals, and al- though the latter won in straight sets, the losers made an excellent showing. The first two sets were extremely close and Baker and Turner had to play thelr best to win. For two players coming from the lower classes Cahill and Kahn did re- markably well in a seratch event. Baker was easily the star of the four and re- ceived good gupport from Turner. The unfinished semi-final match was won by Cahill and Kahn easily. Each had won a set last Sunday, and the third went to Cahill and Kahn by a score of 6-1. The scores: Handicap singles—M. Long (owe 30 3-6) beat G. P. Fuller owe 3-6), -2 6-0. finals—Long beat H.

Golden Gate Park. There was not the faintest sus- picion of a breeze until 3 o'clock. At this time a good southwest breeze sprang up, and the boat owners held a number of impromptu races. It was too late to attempt to hold the quar- terly regatta, which has been postponed S0 often. 3 The lake was fairly alive with the tiny craft. Many boats not belonging to club members participated in the practice trials. J. Brannan's new boat Ruth, which is modeled after Peter- sen’s crack boat Stella, easily proved her supremacy. The Ruth was easily the fastest of the boats out yesterday. The club boats that raced were Bran- nan’s Ruth, Doyle's Priscilla, M. Lom- don's Cricket, Stone's Presto, Deme- van's Witch, Cookson's Alta. Brown's Bonita and H. London’s Imp. The three last named are new boats. —_————————— Vamplres Defeat Sacramentos. ALAMEDA, Feb. 4—In a well- played game the Vampires defeated the Sacramentos in the Association foot- ball league contest this afternoon on the Webster-street fleld. The punters from the Capitol City were unable to net the ball once, while the wearers of the bat emblem drove the éphere im between the goal posts three times. Two of the tallles made by the Vam- pires were earned in the first half and the third in the second period. The Sacramentos were handicapped by the absence of their regular goalkeaper, Thorpe.
