HOTEL DEL CORONADO, Feb. 16— The grand stand was filled to overflowing to-day at the opening games of the tennis tournaments. Several hundred spectators were in attendaunce, and although the matches as a rule were rather one sided there was some excellent ten- nis. The Sutton sisters, as usual, won their matches with ease. Miss May Sutton and her sister, Mrs. Bruce, nave reached the semi-final Mrs. Bruce will be opposed to Miss Flor- ence Suston, while Miss May Sutton will meet Miss Gabriel Dobbins. Ten players remain in the men’s singles. They are: Brown, Warland, Sinsabaugh, Murdock, Davis, Belden, Smith, Elllott and Bundy. The last match of the day was by far the best. The contestants were Warland, ex-champion of Harvard, and Brown. In the upper half the winner of the Brown- Warland match will meet the winner of tfe Sinsabaugh-Murdock match in the semi-finals. One of these four players will surely be in the final match. In the Jower half either Smith or Bundy will win the final place. Bundy is a clever player and his match with Smith should be a good one. The cement courts affected the play of both Murdock and Smith, but they should become accustomed to them in a day or.two. The day’s score: les—Preliminary - round: b.?l.:: beat Madden, by defauit; Garaner beat Angler, 6-8, 6-1, 6-1; Murdock beat Sutton, by detault; Davis beat Russ, by default; Beiden beat Morgan, 4-6, 7-5, 6 First round—Brown beat Collier, by default; Warland beat Mills, ok, bast er, 6.4, 6., Bmith beat f:c‘:ogfl,b;‘-lfi EE:M:S m lB.ugsc:er':wfl‘d 6-2, 66'2; -2, 6-1. ond round— By e lant; 4.0, 6.4, 5-5, postponed.

N. Schmidt of the Cororado Country Club. Owing to iack of time they will not be able to accept the invitatlon of the Riverside Club. > The team will include F. J. Carolan. R. M. Tobin, J. O. Tobin, Paul Clagstone and W. 8. Hobart. If the piay in the golf tournament, which opens at Ingle- side to-day, is concluded In time, John Lawson may be one of the team. This j would make the strongest four the club i could place in the fleld. The players will | leave the latter part of next week. In addition to the polo ponles, the Bur- lIingame men will take a great collection of thoroughbred race ponies. 8o that full justice may be done them against the southern cracks, thev will be ridden by Frank Skinner, H. Marsh and R. Mackay. the clever Australian gentleman rider. Some of the poloists will also sport silks. One hundred and sixty-five pounds, the top welight in the Spreckels challenge cup race at one and one-quarter mlles, was coneidered too much for a pony to carry, so it was cut to 155 pounds. From present appearances there will be no iInternational polo match this year be- tween Hurlingham and Burlingame. F. J. Mackay is due here shortly, but he will not be accompanied by a number of English players as was expected. To take the place of this annual fixture it is hoped to induce a team of scuthern players to come here. QUESTIONS METHOD: OF WATER COMPANY Supervisor Gallagher Probes Spring Valley's Charging of Discounts on Bonds. The Board of Supervisors last night continued fts inquiry into the affairs of Engineer Cyril Williams Jr. and Secre- tary Pelham W. Ames were called upon to answer the probing questions of Super- visor Gallagher. Persistent questioning on the part of Gallagher elicited the statement that dis- | pany were entered:under the heading of new construction, and Ames justified this entry by saying that all corporations were allowed by law to make such entry the discount. Ames continued that lieved this in line with business p ety | and Gallagher remarked that he thought the people would take the opposite view. Gallagher then interpreted the entry as meaning that the interest on the sales of { new bonds for the purpose of taking up " the old ones would be charged to the wa- ter consumers and that the discount would be charged to ‘“permanent improve- ments,” for which the people must pay. Engineer Williams' testimony dwelt principally upon the charging of certain repairs on the Crystal Springs pumping station one year to. permanent improve- ments and another year to operating ex- penses, and admitted that both entries should have been under operating ex- penses. He maintained that if a plant were repaired to the equivalnt of its value the cost should be charged to oper- ating expenses, but if it were repaired in excess of its value the surplus cost would be charged to new construction. Objection “was made by Gallagher to the charge of pipe storage as permanent im- provements, and Wiiliams explained this in part by saying that the entry covered the taking up. redipping and relaying of the San Andreas pipeline. At the conclusion of Secretary Ames’ testimony, which followed that of Engi- neer Williams, the board adjourned to meet on the water rate question next Wednesday afternoon at 1:30, when it is expected the inquiry will end. —_— e — McCARTHY AIDS THE LOCAL TRADES COUNCIL IN EAST Branch of Union Formed in Monterey Hazall, Scene of Our First National Conventio @ P.

He calls the colored boxer a self-confessed faker and denies that there was anything wrong with' their last fight. Britt gave out the fol- lowing statement in his own handwriting last night: The reason 1 have not replied to statements reflecting on my homesty In connection with { the Britt-Gans contest has becn that I did not { think it necessary to defend myself against the accusations of a self-confeesed faker. It is significant that in this_the oply fght of my career that caused aay talk of dishonesty, Gans was my opponent. 1 fought Gums once because the pubiic demanded it, and to show 1 was his master. | Had any one eise been my oppoment there : would have heen no talk of dishonesty. I could not gain enything by losing to Gans, articies of agreement called for me to get 7 per cent for winning and 50 per cent for ioeing. ‘The difference in tne winner's and loser's end was olose to $3000. As [ did not bet a cent on the fight it is difficult to see what I could gain bv losing. All my friends bet on me, | ane this would not have been had things been prearranged. Inere_were rumors of fake previcus to this fight. On the night of the contest James Cof- froth came to my dressing-room and told me it anything appeared wrong he would declare it no contest and we would net et a cent. To this 1 readily agreed. As proof that he thought the fight was on the square I was paid the loser's end next day. The public and everybody connected with the fight were sat- isfied, and it seems funny that Gans, who contesses to faking. should be tne only one to ery fraud, Gans and those behind him ' are seeking a return match and think to force me into the same by smearing me with the siime of their own reputations. I am desirous of regaining my lost laurels and will box only those who are posaible opponents of Neison, in order to force him sooner into a return match. The sporting public know me and I do not fear that they will believe anything re- flecting on my honesty. It would be a serious matter indeed it I were accused by an honest man, but I know the public will consider the source. To fight Gans again would only make me a target for more slime. Joe Gans offered last night to present Britt with a $1000 bonus as soon as arti- cles for a fight were signed.

PRESIDENT MORROW ASKS FOR A TANCE Issues Another Pathetic Ap- peal for Starving Jap- anese in the Orient. United States Circuit Judge W. W. Mor- row, president of the California branch of the American National Red Cross, yes- terday issued the following additional ap peal for ald on behalf of the starving provinces of Japan: Through the California bramch the American National Red Cross has received from the American residents in Japan an appeal for tis famine-stricken people in thres northern provinces of that country. In one province the rice crop has yielded only 12 per cent of the average and the sentence of death over a quarter of a million people if for- gotten and unaided. In the eastern portion of another province the yield is only 13 per cent and 300.000 people are in great distress and on the verge of absolute starvation, and in the third province it is certain that over 100,000 persana cannot live without speedy and onged ald. Already thousands in these three provinces are reduced to shrub roots and the bark of trees by which mere life may for a time be sustained, but at the least calculation 650,000 people are Dnow facing extreme com- ditfons, H of thousands of persons are on the verge of starvation and winter is adding its rigors to the glstress. Snow has hid- den away the roots and herbs of the from the hands of the stricken speedy death or physical anguish worse than death confronts them. During the late war the great Hhiropean Red Cross societies did much to ald the Jap- anese Red Cross in its work of caring for our { abundance.

Magnus Ericksen and three compan- jons visited a saloon conducted by Mrs. Dougherty at 16B Clara street last night and spent several dollars, freely treating all occupants. Ericksen tried to hold out $5 foy another occasion, and because of this his guests. whom he had succeeded in getting semi-intoxi- cated, pounced upon him and gave him a severe beating. He was at the Central Emergency Hospital for numerous lacerations. John McEvoy, J. and James Cooper were ar- rested for the assault.

Walter Dunn, a slight looking youth of the welter-weight division, assayed to go against Charley Foster, a veteran at the e. Foster brought over a terrific right hand swing Wwhen the bout was but a few seconds old. Dunn hit the floor with such force as to lay him out for several minutes. An exciting scene followed the knoek- down. Dunn was carried to his cornmer and was apparently revived. He cols lapsed again in a few minutes and ap- peared In bad condition when Dr. Fita- gibbons succeeded in bringing him to. The police crowded into the ring and were ready to arvest ail the officlals and seconds. Dunn was reported te be pro- gressing favorably at midnight, though the after effects of the biow may be seri- ous. Aside from this the attraction of the evening was the reappaarance of Paul Martin., the former 125-pound champion who lest four fingers off his left hand some months ago. This little accident does not seem to worry him in the least. for he had but little difficulty in stowing clever Joe Kane away m two rounds. Martin is as fast and scientific as of yore. He ys=es his left hand as though nothing had ever happened to it If Battling Johnson, the husky Swede who went up against Bob Ward in the heavy-weight go, knew anything abeut the game he would have emerged from the ring a champion instead of a defeated gladiator. He rushed Ward around and came near landing the final wallop when his opponent cut in with a right hay- maker near the end of the first round, and then there was no more fighting. Fred Haas, halled as the German cham- plon, laid down te Kyle Whitney, the negro, in the opening perfod. Joe Reilly cleverly outboxed Willlam Schuitz, Bob Hagerdorn stowed Joe Medus away in the third round, and Jimmy Carroll received the decfsion over Johnny Roach. The fights drew out a crowded house. The Hawthorne Club has been particulariy unfortunate or reckless in its match-mak- ing for some months. It is permitted to promote fights only through the grace of the Pacific Athletic Association, as it has violated the rules repeatedly. —————— A1l 1| SUPERVISORS ORDER THREE BOND ISSUE IMPROVEMENTS Finance Committee Favors Repairing of Kearny Street and Sewers in Seventh and China Avenues.

The committee declined to pay a de- mand of the Standard Voting Machins Company in the sum of $225 for expert services in connection w the voting machines used at the last election. on the ground that the city did not comn- tragt for the services. The offer of Pyham & Phipps to col- lect moneys due the city by the State for maintenance of indigent persons ‘was rejected. The request of the Health Board th: $300 be allowed to repair a relief am- bulance for the Emergency Hospital | was referred to the Health Committee, the chairman of which said that the amount asked for was considered e: orbitant. The Finance Comumittee de- cided to allow the money for the re- pair of ambulances, including the one used for the smallpox hoespital, which has broken down.
