EAST VS.. WEST
ON DEL MONTE
TENNIS COURTS
Whitman, the American Cham
pion, at the Net.
Each of the Quartet OF Eastern Cracks
to Meet the Best Players
in California

This has been the banner year for tennis
so far as California is concerned. The
best game ever seen on this coast was
played in the championship tournament at
San Rafael on July between George
Whitney and the Hardys. Now comes the
doubles championship, in which both the
Whitneys and the Hardys will appear. To
cap the climax there will be a series of
matches between the best four local rack
ct wielders and the best this country has
produced-the champions of the United
States.
The interest that would otherwise be
taken in the championship doubles has
been somewhat lessened on account of the
arrival of the Eastern champions. The
first opportunity to compare the Eastern
with the Western game Will be furnished
when George Whitney, the champion OF
the Pacific Coast, crosses racketS with NJ.
D. Whitman, the champion of the United
States. Whitman is young man, slim,
tall and muscular, with fast and strong
strokes. His forte is in playing net
game. Not having played on anything
but turf courts, he may be at disad-
vantage when he meets the local men. as
the asphalt is a quicker court than the
turf. Whitman left last Tuesday for Del
Monte and will have a weeks practice to
accustom himself to the courts. George
Whitney thinks this Is quite enough. He
says that Whitman will be so used to the
Del Monte courts that he will be thor
oughly at home at the beginning of the
IOuTHdIn6Hl.
The doubles championship this year will
result in the greatest tennis carnival that
has ever been thought of on this coast.
There will be all kinds of matches in sin
giles and doubles. Dwight Davis and Hol-
comb Ward. the doubles champions of the
country, will test the Whitney and Hardy
brothers in that game. Many tennis men
who are interested in the outcome of these
matches will go to Del Monte for the
three days during the tournament. The
entries to the championship doubles will
not be large, but the quality will be Of the
best. At the three big clubs-California,
Oakland and Alameda-the men are praC-
ticing daily. The Whitneys are working
hard and are playing their usual good
game of doubles. The same applies to the
Hardys, who practice on the other side of
the bay.
This is the schedule of matches for Del
Monte. The play will begin Tuesday next
and end Saturday:
September 5. morning-whitman vs.. R. N.
George Whitney; Wright Sumner Hardy.
Afternoon-Ward VS.. Robert N. Whitney: Davis
VS. Sam Hardy; Wright George Whitney;
Whitman Sumner Hardy.
September 6, mornng-Davis VS. r. n. Whit
ney: Wright vs. Sam Hardy; Whitman VS..
Afternoon-Wright VS. r. n. Whitney; Whit
man vs.. Sam Hardy; Ward George F.
Whitney; Davis Sumner Hardy
The Eastern teams will enter the tour
nament. AS the Hardys are the present
champions in doubles, the only able team
the Fasteners will meet in the tourna-
ment are the Whitneys. The 9Th of Sep
TENDER will be given over to exhibition
matches.

PISTOL MATCH IN PROSPECT

For several days past there has been
a rumor to the effect that two of the
well-known revolver and pistol shots of
this city may meet in a match J. E.
German has become expert in the use of
these firearms and his scores have ex-
cited comment here and in the East.
Smith Carr, member of the local police
force, has long been recognized as one of
the best markSmen in the same line that
the Pacific Coast can produce. He has
not been doing much shooting in public
of late, but his friends are of the opinion
that ne is still able to hold his own. How
serious the principals In question regard
the matter of a meeting is not generally
known, but their friends are looking for
match between them soon.

San Francisco Schuetzen Verein will be
held at Shell Mound range tomorrow.

occasion There will also be several other
guests, as the marines and sailors of the
German warshtp Geier have promised to
be present.
The San Francisco GrutIi Schuetzen
it's committee, consisting of G. r. Hau-
