THE HANDBALL COURTS,
Champion DonnelIy and 7. z. Bonnet
Defeat Champion Harlow and
AL PennOyer.

The amateur handball champion P. T.
DonnelIy and T. F. Bonnet are carving
things with a high hand by a succession
OF victories that places them in an i'm
pregnable position. There is not an ANA
teur team in the United States that could
beat them and very few professional teams.
Yesterday they added another to their list
OF victories by defeating J. Harlow, the
coast professional champion, and Al Pen
meyer at the San Francisco court by three
games to one. The court was crowded and
the play was watched with the keenest in
terest.
Dan O'Brien made the mistake of his
life by not resting on his laurels after de-
feating Phil Ryan, the genial proprietor
OF the San Francisco court, Sunday before
last. He felt so elated and so sure of re-
peating the dose that he challenged Phil
TO play match yesterday. To his utter
amazement he was defeated in three
straight games and in the third he did not
get an ace.
The usual crowd was at the Occidental
Court and the lesser lights, taking advan-
tage OF the absence of the 'crackeriacks,"
made things as lively as possible On
Wednesday evening J. G. Nealon, the vet
eran, and John Purcell will play against
NJ. J. kilgallon, the Denver champion, and
X. Llnehan, the overland sWiper, and the
preliminary game will be between G. J,
McGlynn and P. II. Goessel. the heavy
weight champions, and D. NJ. Stanley and
Z. +. Mccormick, old-time rivals.
The event of the day at the Union Court
was match between r. Linehan and I.
Llnehan and J. ]. Feeney and Terry Nc
Manus. 1t was close game from start to
finish and was won by the Linehans owing
to the overland swiping of Dick.
