Jockey Club, whose destinies are presided over by Tom Williams, but the club with In his career on the turf, Dave Gideon has owned some notable turf celebrities, including among them Butterflies, piloted to victory in the Futurity by Henry Grif- fin. In speaking of some of the decisions rendered by the stewards, MT. Gideon said
 T can't agree with officials suspending owners for sixty days. They are either guilty and should be ruled off the turf, or else they are innocent of wrong-doing."
 These words are certainly well timed. In reconsidering the cases of w. J. Spiers, the owner of Santello: Nolan x Tholl, owners of Also Ran, and "Curley" Shields, in whose colorS Joe Terry ran, the stewards reduced the period of sus- pension somewhat Why did they do so?
 When Little Cripple beat Don Clarencio and The Bachelor one day at Ingleside, and it was freely reported that the in- side money was played on Don Clarencio, Judge Murphy notified the members of the press that the entry of Little Cr1pple would in future be refused. The next day the press was notified that the entry of Little Cripple would be accepted: The brother of the gelding's owner is Super visor.
 MT. Gideon. while not mentioning the latter little incident. said that during his long career on the turf he had never been called before the stewards. He spoke III glowing terms of the California turf, and said that it was to, be regretted 1T men had become identified with the turf here whose presence was inimical to its best interests
 The case of the Australian mare Trance is puzzling in the extreme. Her owner, J. D. Lewis feels that he has been most harshly treated. It appears to be most complicated miXture-the whole thlng- though it really seems as though the stewards of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club might reinstate the mare, as her owner IS anxious to sell, and let him depart Tor ms home in the AntipodeS.
 Ed Corrigan, in an interview published in a morning paper, said that ne had never requested the secretary to make up a race for one of his horses. During the meeting that comes to close to-day the Hawthorne turfman's horses have won fifteen races not including to-days events With only an ordinary string, he has been singularly fortunate. Most of the steeplechase events have either been won by his or Andy BlakeleyS Jumpers, and the writer has no hesftancy in saying that fayoritism has been shown-and this goes if he hears it. On Thursday it was common gossip among the different own CTS that the final race of the day was at one time as good as declared off. Through some means four entries were induced to stay in and the Corrigan horse Geyser a l to favorite, won easily at the end scoring his seventh consecutive victory
 It will be in fashion, possibly with both associations, about the time the meeting draws to a close, to give a few "dog races" for the benefit of the poor own. owners that keep the game running and if they are wise the management of the two big tracks will see to it that the dogs have an inning some weeks before the season draws to close.

Junior crew, rivals of the Turner's, went out last Sunday and braved some rather troublesome water. In fact, 1t was the only crew that had the temerity to do so. This has made old Uncle" Elan ders happier than he has been for some time, for he has found a crew of willing workers.
 The new Senior crew has been finally selected and will take its initial spin to- morrow. Captain Ellis has had all the boats put in excellent condition and everything is in readiness for a success full season. AS yet no date has been fixed fer the club regatta, but 1t will un- doubtedly take place in the latter part of April.

 BRIGHT DAYS
 FOR TENNIS PLAYERS.
- < 4

There is genuine revival in tennis. To appreciate this one has but to go out to the California Tennis Club courts any af- ternoon, and there he will see not only a new generation of racket enthusiasts, but also return of the old to the beaten tracks It is the same In Oakland and in Southern California Everywhere a re- newed interest in the sport is mani fested and invitation tournaments are be- ing organized in several of the interior cities.
 At the California club last week doubles took precedence of singles. Society, now that 1t is Lent, is indulging itself with a breath or two of fresh air and the younger set finds the tennis courts the host enjoyable molifier of the seventies imposed by the Lenten season. Within two weeks there will be a ladies' doubles tournament which will bring out bevy of debutantes and their younger sisters The courts are crowded nightly in prepar- ation for this tourney
 During the week some close and inter- esting matches were played. Daily and z waiter N,,l beat Root and Bliven, 62. 65, oIo. MISS Bowman and Miss Hunter beat G1idrk ana Denson, 6-2, 45, 6-3, 64 though there were no deuce all games in the sets the playing was of lively and l.. Holmes hit it off merrily early In the week, but the placing and driving of the loFIher were too much for his viS-a-viS, Who Succumbed in straight sets.
 Bllven and Walter, in a match of sin gIes on Tuesday, quit even with set apiece Bradshaw beat Dick Adams 6-4 E5, 6E: In four handed match be- tween Miss Alice Hoffman and Miss Moody against Miss Curry and Miss Drown four sets were played but the match was left undecided, each team win mng alternate sets. In mixed doubles Ogden Hoffman and Miss Drown defeated Miss Alice Hoffman and w L. Holmes CTS, Walter and Tom. are often seen on the courts playing doubles. Walter has gone back in his playing, but with prac- tice will regain his old form.
 George Whitney. who has by steady ap- plication mounted the tennis ladder until ne now stands on the uttermost height, says that he intends to retire from the nght for honors. Hereafter he will de- vote himself to the game only as an ex- erc1se and will not enter tournaments or sweat for prizes Championship and all It's concomitantS no longer possess any charm for the younger Whitney. Rob Whitney is still in the ring.

from rushing to the press for justice He was advised to hold on to his stock, and that in future everything possible would be done to make the relations ex- isting among MT. Sink, Mir. Corrigan and the club amicable as was possible.
 MT. Sink appears satisfied; The incipi- ent revolution has been squelched without resource to arms, and Ed Corrigan still plays the role of dictator and pursues the even tenor of his way. The officials of the association are trifle new" at the game, and so were easily, pacified; Mir. Sink says he has received a good offer for his stock. and thinks he will sell. When he looks about and sees scores of horses neighing for one good feed of oats, their owners looking around for a meal ticket and two or three favored in dividualS winning most of the races, he may change his mind. The two racing associations can be compared to a game of stud-horse poker-if the game holds on long enough the kitty" gets all the coin.
 If all rumors can be believed, there are several horsemen sojourning in Califor- mia this winter who will in future give the Golden West a wide berth. Their kick" is apparently not at the California

GOOD COURSING
 AT TWO PARKS,

Lovers of the grand old sport of cours- ing can select either of the two parks Union or Ingleside-for a pleasant out ing on to-day and tomorrow.
 The drawings for both parks have an- peared in The Call and the wise ones who can select the winners of the all aged stake at either park can safely hang up a sign with the words, Tips for Sale,' written thereon.
 Sportsmen who have made a study of the sport of the leash and who have at tended the meetings held on Saturdays and Sundays can name three-fourths of the winners of the first round but it is in the subsequent rounds that the tip- sters generally fall by the wayside. be cause the inferior dogs are weeded o,,t in the first and second rounds. leaving the 'cracks" to contest for the goideS eagles.

Peace reigns supreme again in the h. gleside Association. Stockhoder Sink scored his point. The disgruntled finan- cfer after his kick registered through the columns of The Call, was summoned by letter to ap- pear before the officials of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, where a sooth- ing lotion was applied by Secretary Green ct al. MT. Sink was assured that Ed Corrigan had been requested to bottle up his witty package of jokes about his fel- low men until St. Patricks day, 1901, and MT. Sink himself was implored to desist
