disappointment, for many think that
he is still the best player in the associ-
alton, when in good "form."
Champion Coulter has not been play
ing much OF late but he is cure to come
out near the top.
Santa Monica will be ably represented
by Lester and Cawston. The latter IS
said to be playing in splendid form.
The Pasadena colors will be worn by
Messrs. Lindsay, Gilmore and Acker.
Alhambra will send a delegation also.
Wallace, Lane, H. Rise and George Rice
will probably represent this club.
The Casa Blanca club, of Riverside,
will have a strong list, headed by
Butcher, Halsted, Bettner, Waring and
others.
The new club at Riverside will send
contestants.also.
In the ladies events Miss Gilleland, of
Riverside, will probably take first place,
while the place of second will be warmly
contested for by Miss Shoemaker, of
Pasadena, Miss Halsted, of Alhambra,
and Miss Tufts, of Los Angeles. These
young ladies are all strong and well
matched players and there is sure to be
some exciting matches between them.
The entries for the association singles
close on Wednesday at l 80 p. m.

Paragraphs of Interest to the Baseball
Enthusiast.

Enthusiast.
Jim McAleer returned to Cleveland
last week.
President Vanderbeck is expected
home today.
The biggest baseball cranks in Los
Angeles are members of the legal pro-
fession.
John F. Roach ,one of the Los Angeles
pitchers, writes: II am eft-handed
pitcher, but am not one of the base on

A San Francisco paper remarks: All
the California League clubs have en-
gagged first basemen. Where does Tom
Power get off?
Manager Harris has written to George
Decker for his terms. 1t will please the
Los Angeles public if Decker is not al
lowed to leave the state.
The League captains will probably be
Fred Carroll, Oakland Glenalvin, Los
Angeles; Elright, San Jose, and Charles
Sweeny, San Francisco.
In Glenalvin, Los Angeles gets one of
the strongest minor league players in
the country. By many good critics ne
was pronounced the best player who ap-
peared on the coast last season.-fSport-
ing Life.
George Decker, who covered first base
go acceptably last season, has been
signed as manager and captain and will
have complete control of the team.
Decker led the first basemen and had
batting average OF .304. He is very
popular here.-[Sporting Life.

THE SOUTHERN CHAMPIONS.
The Northern Shooters Anxious to Re-
gain Their Laurels.


gain Their Laurels.
The scheme mentioned in Pacific Field
Sports last week, i. e., to form a team in
this portion of the state to wrest the
Selby team trophy from the Cotton Gun
club, which includes in its membership
the most noted shots in the southern
part of the state, is gradually coming to
head.
The idea at first was to form a new
club, in which were to be enrolled the
best shots in this vicinity, and from
among these experts select five men for
the contest. This proposition has abont
been abandoned, however, as several of
the eligibles objected to joining new
clubs, and club already formed and
shooting will be made the instrument
whereby the hopes of Southern Califor-
MIA will be destroyed.
AS mentioned last week, four men
have been selected, and these are
Messrs. Smith, Robinson, Merrill and
Hass. Several other shooters will be
closely watched, and as the time for the
annual struggle approaches, a selection,
to fill the fifth place, will be made.
The club fpom which the champion
team will hail has not been definitely
decided upon, but Stockton will prob

AMERICA IN MELBOURNE.
The Result of the International Tus
of War in Australia.

The Result of the International Tug
of War in Australia.
International tugs OF war are the rage
in Australia. In the Melbourne tourna-
ment the American showed up well, but
were finally beaten by the Irish. A
special to the Sydney Herald is as fol-
lows:
1.-The interest in the tug of war be-
tween Ireland and America, who were
till last night both unbeaten in the in
ternational tournament, drew an un-
usually large audience to the Exhibit
ton building on Saturday, and during
the tug between these two teams, which
only lasted minute and 10 seconds, the
excitement was intense. When Ireland
won, hats, umbrellas and sticks were
thrown in the air, and about thousand
people rushed to the platform to shake
hands with the winners. Last nights
winners were Norway, Scotland, Ger
many, Ireland and Australia, and the
losers were England, New Zealand,
Sweden, America and Denmark, in that
order. New Zealand and Denmark,
having each been beaten four times, re-
tire from the contests, which will be re-
sumed on Thursday.
