HANDBALLCOURTS
Keenly Contested Games
Yesterday.
Entries for the Tournament-Great
Interest Taken in Wednesday
Nights Match.

The handball courts were crowded yesterday
and several rafting games were witnessed.
One OF the most exciting was between William
Kelley and James Harlow and NJ. Dillon and
Pat Donnelly of the Union court, the TWO for
mer winning 10 three straights.
Another keenly contested game was between
Kelly and Austin Hendy and William Nc
Mauus and Al Ptnnoyer Kelly and Hendy
again won by two straights, although they had
all they could do TO keep ahead of their clever
opponents.
At the San Francisco court W. Williams and
j. Hinchy defeated X. Shea and J. Harlow the
best two out of three games by good general
ship, while j. Condor and NJ. McNevIn took
three games out OF five from Tom Barry and
Pat Kelly, but it was nip aud tuck from begin
ming TO end.
AT the Occidental Jones tried conclusions
against Dennis Daily, champion OF Oakland,
and A. Hampton, and beat them by winning
three games out of five. Two Australians, j.
Cambridge and II. Fox, played an exciting
sngle-hand game. Cambridge winning the fual
by two points. The Cyclonr was conspicuous
by his absence and it was said he was taking
some hard physical exercise in preparation for
The coming tournament.
The tournament for the single amateur cham
pionSbip Is engaging considerable attention
among handball players. The entries In tile DIFF
terent classes Will close at The Occidental on
Saturday night, and the tournament will CON-
mence, unless something OF an unexpected
nature happ ns. on the night of Wednesday,
October "a, at the Occidental.
The event, however, that is causing the
greatest talk and speculation for the moment is
the return match TO be played at the OCCIDENTAL
on Mednesday night between Jones and Daily
and Riordan and Kelly. 1t will be remem bered
that on Sunday, October z. Rior0an and Kelly
defeated Jones and Daily at The Onion court 10
three straights, and their hackers are confident
they will repeat the dose
This retirement will upset all the arrange
ments for contesting the double championship
honor. Harlow and Lawless claimed that
honor and were prepared to support their
claim against all cOmers. BY Lawless' retire
ment Harlow is left without a partner, but 1t Is
expected be Will soon get one o take Lawless'
place and then the challenge now out will be
! played of.
