PRESIDE ONCE MORE
FILLED WITH SOLDIERS
Troops Being Hurried Here From All
Directions to Replace Those Re-
turning From Manila.

In order to replace the many soldiers
now being discharged in the Philippines
the Government is hurrying recruits to
this city from every direction, and the
Preside is beginning to assume it's cid
time appearance of activity. Several new
camps have been built and nearly all are
occupied. The Fifteenth Cavalry will
leave for Manila on Monday, however
which will relieve the congestion to some
degree.
The first squadron of the Eleventh Cav
airy arrived yesterday and will sail about
January l. A portion of the Twenty
seventh Infantry and several hundred un-
assigned recruits also joined the local
troops yesterday and more are scheduled
to aSrive daily for several weeks.
Two prisoners escaped from the post
hospital some time during Thursday night
and have not yet been located. A man
sentenced to seventeen years in one of
the Federal prisons, and who was sud
denly taken insane and sent to the hos
pital, escaped his guards the other night
and a thorough search has revealed no
trace of his whereabouts. The authori-
ties begin to suspect that his INSANITY
might have been only matter of con-
Yenience.
The general court-martial now in ses-
sion at the Preside is dealing severeiy,
with such Offenders as come before it,
Fifteenth Cavalry, and Isaac G. Th0rnp.
son, Twenty-fourth Battery, Field Artfi-
lery, convicted of larceny, have each been
sentenced to dishonorable discharge from
the army and confinement at hard labor
at Alcatraz for one year. Prfvates Thorn
as Conklin, Troop e, Fifteenth Cavalry.
and John Hunley, Twenty-eighth Com
.pany, Coast Artillery, found guilty. M
conduct to the prejudice of good orde-
and military discipline, have each been
given heavy fines and several months of
Imprisonment, but at the expiration of
their sentences they will be restored TO
duty. ~

TENNIS TEN
IN A SINGLES
TOURNAMENT
Largest and Most important
Meeting of the Year Will
Be Held on Christmas Day

Tennis cracks are devoting all their
leisure to practice for the class singles
tournament to be played on Christmas
This will be the largest and most import
ant tournament held on the California
Club courts during the year. Owing to
the large number of active players 1T will
be necessary to play the preliminary
rounds on the Sunday preceding Christ
mas. The finals and inter-claSs matches
will be played off on the latter day. The
players will be divided INTO five classes.
The championship class will be made up

ser lights.
There is talk Of holding inter-county
doubles matches. This was done ten
years ago and brought out some interest
ing matches. The pennant finally went to
the California Club, represented by Joe
Tobin and VIII Taylor. The final between
these two players and c. d. Bates and
Sam Neel proved a struggle remembered
to this day. The local club would be

and Warburton and Sneider and Coolidge;
| Alameda by Brown and Hunt; Yolo, by
| the Porter brothers, and San Joaquin by

The ladies are again taking up tennis,

Cricketers Seek a New Field.

At the meeting Of the California Cricket
Association held on Monday evening Cam
tain John Metcalfe's prizes were present
ed to the winners. Harold B. Richardson
received the bat for the best batting aver
age in association matches during the
past season and Bert Bird the bat for the
best bowling average. In the absence of
the donor, President Edward Brown pre-
sented the prizes, commenting. on the ex-
9Isllent work indicated by the averages.
OF matches won by any club was AWARDED
to the Alameda Cricket Club.
President Edward Brown, speaking in
support Of the remarks Of A. e. Acklow,
said he hopes that means may be found to
provide the cricketers of San Francisco
ana neighborhood with a ground really
suitable Tor the game-leyel, well turfed,
inclosed with a substantial fence and pro-
vided with pavilion for the comfort of
the players and spectators. The president
believes such a ground would add greatly
to the enthusiasm of cricketers, and the
quality Of the game would be improved
and the number of men playing it would
be increased. He will appoint a commit
tee of five to investigate the chances of
carrying out the plan. If the committee
viii be formed, and the British residents
of San Francisco and neighborhood asked
to support it.
The Alameda Cricket Club seemed like
~ to find itself without any delegates to
the California Cricket Association. J. ]
AIoriarty is in Southern California and
r. b. Hogue expects to leave for Austr. :
liza early in the new year. To guard
against the loss Of representatives in the
association the annual meeting of the
club. which was not held until March,
1901, has already been held for 1902, Har-
old Ward and H. w. Brown having been
chosen as delegates. Harold Ward has
been accepted already in lieu of J. J.
Moriarty and H. w. Brown will step into
Hogue's place on the latter's departure.
Inasmuch as it will not be possible to
procure and put in order new cricket
ground in time for next seasons play, IT
is proposed to do some work upon the old
ground at Webster street, Alameda. Dur
ing the winter 1t will be plowed and grass
seeds sown, so as to improve it little al
least. AS the country clubs play some
matches on the Alameda ground, it is pro.
posed the association contribute toward
the expense Of improving it. This, how
ever, will not be done without the conscni
of the country clubs, which have been In
formed of the proposed outlay by the sec
rotary of the association and requested tt
express their sentiments
