GREAT COURSING.
The Biggest Event Ever
Run in the State.
Dogs VIII Be Here From All Over
the State-The Day at Ocean
View Yesterday.

The hares were never livelier at Ocean
View than they were yesterday. The lit
tie animals are brisker at this season o {
the year than any other for the reason that
they are not breeding.
Such speed did the cottontail flyers
show that there were no less than four
races in which the hares ran away from
the hounds and escaped into cover.
The betting yesterday was not very
lively, and what was wagered was about
evenly divided between the short and long
enders. Captain Morse of the Alameda in
spected Ocean View park during the last
week on behalf of several Australian
clubs. He will make report when he re-
turns to Australia. Captain Morse was
very much pleased with the park at Ocean
View.
The greatest coursing event which ever
took place in this State is down on the
books for Sunday, July 2. About sixty of
the best dogs in California have been en-
tered for the races. The hounds will come
from Merced, Sacramento, Los Angeles,
San Jose, Stockton, Santa Rusa and other
towns. Among the con ntestants will be the
celebrated Skyrocket and Shortstop. There
will be purse of $500 offered by the Col
den West Coursing Club. under whose
auspices the meet Will take place. The
cOursing will be continued on Monday,
July 3 and Tuesday, July 4. John Grace
Sr., will be judge of the day.
The coursing yesterday at o can View
consisted of forty-dng stake. There
were no ties. for the reason that the day
was consumed in the rundown. There
were a number of good races, and those
who attended witnessed some excellent
sport.
Examiner ran a good race with Uncle
Jimmy III the lead off, and had hard
scratch to bring down game.
Blue Jack showed his heels to Penny
royal'in great stvle and skinned the liveli-
est hare of the day.
Nancy Till made great race with Die
tator. the betting being to 1. 1t was a
nip-and-tuck race up till the time the hare

There is no longer any doubt regarding
the transfer of the Stockton team to Sac
ramento Manager Moore went to Sacra-
mento and made the people there an offer
that was accepted. The offer was that he
would play the second season there pro-
vided lie was paid $1,000. He got his money
and closed the deal.
The Stockton people raised a kick when
they found that the team was really 60
ing. but it was, of course, too late. Their
chance, like chances sometimes do, had
passed them by. Moore told them frankly
that it was not that he loved Stockton less
put that he loved the support Sacramento
would give him better. He also told them
other things that wouldn't look we'll in
print.
The gentlemen in Sacramento who have
been active in working up the deal are
Clay Chipman, George II. Clarke, John H.
hatcher Jr. and Frank Hickman. These
are all prominent business men and en-
thusiastic lovers of the sport.
John 81. Batchin Jr. will he made vice
president of the Calif0 MIA League at It's
next meeting, the promise having been
made that Sacramento should have the
vice-presidency when the transfer was
made. and Mr.. hatcher having been Sc
lected by the Sacramento people to take
the office.
MT. MuOT6 has alTeduy pdlu month s
rent on the grounds at Snowflake Park
and made arrangements TO have the park
put in firstclass shape.
San Jose made Mr.. Moore a flattering
offer for the team, and some people there
will feel chagrned that Sacramento. the
hated rival of San Jose in the State capt.
tai argument. should out-do them thus.
but Moore says he likes the looks of Sacra-
mento better. He considers it one of the
best ball towns in California, if not the
best.
Moore saws that he is go.ngt to strengthen
his team. He is going to strengthen it in
every department by making every man in
it play bail for all be is worth.
Perhaps he will go further and put Tip
ONeiIl in then for captain. but he does
not say so yet.
The California League is seriously con-
sidering the proposition to place the
pitcher back where he belongs-five feet
from where he now stands. Opinion is. of
course. divided on the advisabilty of this
move. but the bulk of opinion seems to be
that it would be better.
The placing of the pitcher five feet
further from the batter has put batting
back where it was during the underhapd
pitching days, and if there has been any
improvement made in the game thereby it
has been hardly apparent to the average
fan,

LAWN TENNIS.
Brilliant Playing at the Olympic
Grounds,

There we're some spirited tennis gam es
played yesterday at the Olympic grounds.
The event OF the forenoon was a special
contest between the crack heavyweight
drivers and lobbers. Alex Forsyth and
Charles Sullivan. The former played a
really beautiful game and astonished such
clever exponents of tennis as Bob Nc
Arthur. Peter Mcintyre and John Living
ston Elliott. 'Suiiyan's great drives puz-
zIed his opponent considerably. and
Forsyth perspired freely in his wild efforts
to be at all corners If the court at the same
time. Had it not been for the remarkable
cleverness he displayed in lobbing Sulli-
van would certainly have won the "event
OF the day." as he was in the better condi-
tion physically.
Mr.. Forsyth is one of the crack billiard
players of the club, and now that he has
won the heavyweight tennis champion
ship. IL is presumed that he will not rest
satisfied until he tests his hands and feet
against some of the young fellows who are
aspiring to high honors in natatorial art.
Among other players who were repre-
sented on the tennis courts we're: Larkip.
Rowen, Goodlow, Battersby, Lincoln
Johns. Greenlee aud Birdie Golcher The
games played between these players at
trected considerable attention, as the wind
was blowing gale during their progress.

tling doubles between some of the ANA
teurS. Close scores and good contests for
points were frequent.
The event of the day. quadruple handi-
cap between john the champion of Aus
tralia and beneficiary. and j. Lawless, j.
RIearney and ). teeney, was then played.
Despite his activity and endurance, Jones
had his hands full from the start, as the
men composing the latter team are we'll
known in professional circles on this
coast and were in fine form, after several
weeks training.
The rather unequal contest was played
for purse of $3.50 side.
Jones quickly perceived that he had met
opponents that would give him an un-
usually hard game and judiciously forced
the play from the beginning as his only
chance. As result the contest was close
and exciting throughout, and the tossing
both raDid and effective on both sides.
Jones covered the court, despite the
heavy odds. in magnificent style, and
lodged in and out among his three oppo-
nents with lightning rapidity.
He won the first two games in success
sion. when an intermssion of fifteen min
utes was given the contestants. The
Australian finally CAPTURED the third bout
alter allowing his opponents to score only
once. Score: 21-1S. 21-1S. 16-21, 2l-19.
James Harlow acted as referee during
the game. At the conclusion of the bouts
Jones addressed the audience, thanking
them for their support.
The benefit. both professionally and
financially, proved an unqualified success,
and fully 400 tickets had been disposed of.
Jones leaves for the East tomorrow
afternoon with his trainer James Cam
bridge, who has come from Sydney, Aus
tralIa, to handle him. They will stop in
Chicago. where Jones will second Hugh
Napier. the Australian feather weight, in
his fight with Bobbie Burns, in the Windy
City. They will then 60 on to New York
where Jones will go into training for his
match with Phil Casey of Brooklyn, who
now holds the championship of the world.
The position Of instructor at Ryan's
court, made vacant by Jones' departure,
will be filled by John Feeney. well-kuown
player on the Pacific Coast

COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
The Olympic Club VIII Select q
Team on SUNDAY Next,

There was large and decidedly enthu-
siastic crowd of Olympic Club members at
the club grounds yesterday. The announce
ment that a football team would be selected
to represent the club next season attracted
the gathering of athletes and supporters of
the great intercollegiate game. Among
those present who played last year were:
Tobin, Sherrard, Graham, Morse, Nc
Glynn, Wand. Miller ana the Coffin boys.
After lengthy discussion On the pros
poets of football and the athletes VINO
would make good kickers, it was decided
TO call another meeting for next Sunday,
when ii is expected that several good ath-
letes, who were absent yesterday, will put
in an appearance, as there will be no fur
ther delay in the selection of team.
Laurie Bliss. the famous Eastern coach.
will be mere on July TO- and the CLUB is in
hopes that team will be ready then to be
placed Immediately under his charge, as
he will remain only few weeks ON this
coast under engagement to the Olympic
Club.
Two teams were selected from the
athletes who were represented on the
grounds yesterday. and q practice game
was held, which afforded great amusement
to those who were conversant with inter-
collegiate football. Joseph Tobin thinks
he can select a good team from among the
outdoor athletes.

BEHIND WICKETS,
The San Jose Boys Gain
a Victory.
Anson Is Badly Handicapped and
Makes but Poor Showing
for the CALIFORNIA;.

The San Jose cricket boys showed up in
great shape at Golden Gate yesterday and
gained a decisive victory over the unfor-
tunate California Club.
The last-named club is struggling hard to
come to the front, but it is sadly in need
Of good backing. True, there is Anson, as
enthusiastic and accomplished cricketer
IS can be found, but the club is in bad
way for all that. And even Gadesden, the
captain. has not shown up for some weeks
to lend encouragement to his men.
Yesterday was magnificent day for
cricket and quite number of enthusiasts
travelled over to see the game. Anson won
the toss, but preferred to put the San
JoseS in.
In they went, and before long their
antagonists began to feel some respect tor
their skill. Gardner, the San Jose captain.
played in really excellent form and showed
what sterling crlcke:er he is. He made
81 not out in an inning most carefully
played. Besant made 16 and Jardine
played well for Il, until he overplayed an
easy ''lob" from Arson.
AT luncheon time the score stood at l24
for six wickets and as there was some
doubt of the California team being able to
beat this score, it was decided to take the
risk and declare the San Jose innings
closed. SO California went To the wicket.
All hopes were centered on Anson. He
was the mainstay OF the team. He had
carefully bowled ''iropkicks" right
through the innings of the San Josps. but
this was offset when he went TO the wickets
Anson certainly played good cricket He
was wretchedIy supported, but he did his
best and when the innings closed he was
not out for %. a small score, but one
sounding well in a total of 4S, and COM
piled by steady play. The San Joses
seemed to know that they had got their ad-
verSaries at disadvantage and fielded
somewhat loosely. Both Anson and Ward
Eaton we're missed at the wicket, and
Eaton was altogether missed three times
before he was bowled. Arson should !ave
been caught the second ball he received
Altogether it was good game and was
most enjoyable IN every way, and when
the San Joses boarded their train cheer
after cheer rang after them. They are an
enthusiastic sportsmanlike lot of fellows
and deserved their ovation. Following is
the score:

TOSSING THE SPHERE.
The Farewell Benefit rendered Jones
Proves an Unqualified Success.


1t was lively day in handball circles
yesterday and the enthusiasts had their fill
of good sport. Both courts were crowded
with players ald spectators, and some un-
usually good bouts with high scores were
contested.
The principal events were played at
Ryan's court, where an unusually large
crowd was present at the farewell benefit
rendered to John Jones. the champion of
Australia. previous to his departure for
the East.
Fully 200 friends of the champion filled
the benches of the court to overlooking.
and as many more were obliged TO content
themselves with points OF vantage on the
roofs of neighboring buildings, the prin-
cipal attraction being the quadrnple handi-
cap between Jones aud three well-known
local players.
