T. A. Driscoll of Oakland, who is touring
in England, played with e. Renshaw at
the Queens court London) recently, and
his friends are anxious to hear of the re-
suit of the game.
1t is announced that the Neighborhood
Tennis Club of West Newton, Mass, had
at last succeeded in it's plan for bringing
together English and American PLAYERS IN
an international contest. PIN, the English
champion, who is recognized as the fore
most player in the world, and Mahoneey,
the Irish crack, have accented the club
invitation to compete at West Newton.
America will be represented by Larned,
Hobart, Hovey, Chase and possibly Cham
pion Wrenn, who, however, may be pre-
vented by his duties as Harvard's second
baseman. The round robin principle
will govern the contest, matches being
PLAYED by each contestant with each OF his
opponents.
The tourney will be the first real inter
national tennis contest ever played in this
country. The visitors will arrive early
enough to get some practice on the courts
before June %, the opening day: They
will leave for England Immediately after
the contest, as PIN must defend his Eng
hsh championship at Wimbledon on July 8.

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.
Gustave Haustaen, Pedestrian, Makes
Quick Trip on Foot From
San Jose,

Gustave Haustaen, "The Flying Dutch
man" came into the CALL editorial rooms
yesterday at 1890 with message from the
sporting editor of the San Jose Mercury
to the sporting editor of the CALL, which he
had received in San Jose at $50 in the
morning.
He came up on foot. making the distance,
ffty-three miles with an additional six
miles he had to make through missing his
road, in nine hours. Haustaen claims to
be the fastest long distance man in the
country, and is looking for match. He
said that he had run thirty-five of the fifty
nine miles, but when he arrived he showed
little signs of fatigue. Some time since, he
said he had made the trip from San
Francisco to Los Angeles, distance OF 600
miles, in nine days on foot.
Haustaen is of the opinion that long
distance pedestrians are very scarce, as he
finds it difficult to get a match for money
or marbles.

THE GUN.
Excitement Caused by the Bursting
of ShotgunS-Trap-Sh Shooting.

vi oIlOlS SIlOOtlnSs
The Country Club will hold its monthly
live-bird pigeon contests this afternoon at
the Oakland track, and the captain of the
club hopes that the members will take
sufficient interest in the sport to attend in
larger numbers than at former shoots.
To-day, under the auspices of the Port
land (Or.) Gun Club, grand Pacific Coast
handicap will be held at Portland.
The Empire Club will engage in an arti-
fetal clay-bird shoot tomorrow at Ala
media Point, and at the Oakland track a
team-shoot will be held, which promises to
be very interesting.
Local sportsmen, and especially trap
shooters, have been aroused by the recent
bursting of guns. j. S. Tanning had a
Smith gun burst while engaged in trap
shooting recently. He states that he was
using forty-two grains of gold dust smoke
less powder when the barrel of the gun
blew off within foot or so of the breech.
Tanning said that he was surprised such a
thing should have occurred, as he had fire.

no bad results.

Some people contend that the barrels of
some OF the closely choked guns used in
trap-shooting are too thin in parts to in
sure safety, while others contend that the
smokeless powder or nitro used by those
men whose guns have exploded is not alto
gether safe. The matter is causing no end
OF talk among sportsmen.

HYPNOTIZED STOCK THIEVES
A Nest of Lancaster Robbers Cleaned
Out
Three Are Now In Custody But Their Chief
Is Being Hunted in the
Mountains

William Stephens, a man in tile en-
ploy of A. Vanderkarr and George Van
derkarr, stock ralsers at Lancaster, was
held to answer on Friday by Justice
Give A. Richards, on the charge of
grand larceny. The technical charge is
the stealing of two cows, but it is esti-
mated that the gang to which Stephens
belonged has stolen BETWEEN $50 and 200
cattle in the Antelope valley within the
last two wears from the various settlers of
the district.
Walter W. Robinson, boy rs years
of age, who was sent to Whittier yester-
day morning as an accomplish, gave
away the snap. The Vanderkarrs were
stock raisers in this way that they and
their employees raised other peoples cat
tie. butchered them. sold the meat and
buried the hides TO conceal the evidences
of their crimes. 1t was by such methods
that the VandeIkarrs, after having com
M enced dairy business with 100 cows
still had that number left after having
slaughtered more cattle than they
had when they went into
the milk and cheese speculation.
1t had been suspected for a long time
that the Vanderkarrs were getting away
with the missing stock, but no positive
proof could be gathered against them I'M
til the boy Robinson peached. He led
the officers to place three miles away

Another one of the employees of the
Nanderkarrs, named John Diebes is
now awaiting trial in the county Jail for
having burglarized the ranch of one Alex
ander Doctor, some eight miles from Lam

Angeles. Diebels made clean sweep of
all there was portable on Doctors ranch,

or otherwise. Not one of these varets
had received cent of wages for several
years. nor expected to get any. The boy
Robinson was the first to break away
from the baleful influence of the Wander
karrs, and it was by his means that the
gang of cattle thieves was broken up.
The dairy and the 100 COWS are now
virtually without anybody to look after,
as old Vanderkarr does not count for
much, George is a fugitive, Diebels and

a strike at best coull never open any
now avenues of Enjoyment. 1t does not
cause more wealth to be produced III any
way. therefore aside from is lnterfer-
ence with equal rights, it could not poss-
iblv improve general conditions.
Take the American Railway union
strike as an example. "hat was us oo,
iect? To force the Pullman company to
pav higher wages to its men. why dld
it fail? Other men who had been out OF
EMPLOYMENT finally took the places OF the
strikers. both at Pullman and on the rail-
roads at the wages and under the con-
ditions against which the strike was a
protest. Here was an opportunity opened
to the unemployed to 90 to work and sup
port themselves, and they took it.
Suppose the single tax had been put in
force in the state of Illinois Just about
the time of that strike-what would have
been the result? The Pullman company
would have been relieved OF all taxes on
its improvements and manufacturing
plant and would thereby have been al BILE
to produce cars cheaper than before; but
it would have been taxed for the full value
OF the land ON which stands it's model
city, and its directors would have realized
fully that any future increase in that
value would be Immediately taken in

by using it fully all the time. The same
thing would be true of all other Lands
thereabuts. and what would have been
the consequence? To use that land fully
all the time would have meant to keep
their works running on full time. That
would have meant greater demand for
labor. The same effective demand being
made all through the state would have
set thousands of unemployed men at
work everywhere and the pressure for
those places at Pullman would have dis
appeared and the car builders and train
men would have had full work at good
pay without any necessity for striking.
After announcing that the meeting
next Saturday night, May 9th. would be
addressed by Mrs. NJ. Y. Longley, pre-
senting her objections to the Single Tax,
to be answered by its advocates. the
chair called for questions and criticisms
from persons in the audience, which
come thick and leading into lively dis
cussion and continuing up to the hour o.
