TENNIS COURTS
ARE IN DEMAND
Players Invade the. Park and
the California CIub Grounds
Seeking a Spell at the Nets

Although the weather of the past fort
night has not been the best for tennis,
the players have been out in great num-
bers and some good matches have been
played. The crack players of few years
ago are gradually coming back to the
game and in another month such men
: as viii Taylor and Tom Driscoll will be
trying conclusions with the champions of
to-day. A match between either Taylor
or Driscoll and Smith would be interest
ing and would show where the former
stand. Taylor is marvel of accuracy,
but 1t is doubtful if he could stand UP
before the hard hitting game of to-day.
Dr1scoll, although more brilliant than
Taylor, is hardly as effective.
Bob" Ayre is one of the old timers
who has again taken up the game. He
showed considerable skill in match last
was the first of the former cracks to re-
turn to the game. Although his game
consists mostly in getting the balls back,
ne can hold any of the second class men
down.
Dick Erskine showed last Sunday he
is hard man to beat when given a
liberal handicap. Smith allowed Kuehn,
the best man in the fourth class, thirty"
and won, 6-2, 6-2. Erskine, who ranks
below Kuehn, received the same odds and
beat Smith 60 the first set. He also had
good lead in the final set, being within
point of winning twice, and with little
luck would probably have won. Erskine
seems to be the only man in the lower
classes who knows the proper game to
play with a handicap. His success is
due entirely to the fact that he takes
chances. His swift service and hard
drives give the scratch men considerable
annoyance. Most of the men play care
ful game and as the higher class men are
moro skillful the handicap bothers them
but little.
The intercollegiate tennis looks. to be
al. in favor of the University of Califor-
nif. this year. Berkeley has had a try
out already, and as a result the teams
representing that college will be picked
from the following men: Fred Brown,
Drummond McGavin, Herold Braly, Reu-
ben Hunt and Trow Hendrick
Stanford will reply upon Harry 'Wiehe
for victory this year S. H. Adams, his
partner in doubles has left college, and
will not play. His place will probably be
taken by Duval Moore, who is prom
Using player. With Wiehe for partner,
he should do well in doubles
The park players are improving rapidly
and will undoubtedly send several good
men into the championship tournaments
next year. There will be a tournament
on the park courts tomorrow. 1t will

AUTOMOBILISTS
ARE ENERGETIC
Organizing Country Runs and
Endeavoring to Gain the Use
of Park Roads and Drives

The meeting of the Automobile Club Of
California at the Cliff House on Tuesday
evening was one Of the most enthusiastic
that has been held by the chauffeurs
President F. A. Hyde referred to his re-
cent trip through the Eastern States,
during which he specially inquired into
the regulations governing the admission
of self-propelled vehicles into the public
parks of New York, Washington, Chicago,
Philadelphia and other cities. A hope
was expressed that the automobilists of
San Francisco will ere long be permitted
to use the public pleasure grounds freely.
r. r. PHommedieu, who has performed
the duties of secretary of the Automobile
Club for several months past, resigned his
office for reasons which were not stated
at the meeting, receiving cordial vote of
thanks for his services. The question of
a button and cap badge for the chauf-
feurS came up, designs prepared by a'local
jeweler being submitted by 8. D. Rogers,
former president of the Automobile Club
A Well-known member of the club ex-
pressed a strong preference for design
characteristic of the State of California,
and, though nothing definite was done. it
closed in a circle on which are the letters
A. G. c. will be the design adopted.
1t was decided that the directors be en-
M. Wilkins of the Cliff House to set apart
a large room on the fourth floor for the
use Of the automobilists, where they may
meet. On Sundays a luncheon will be
set between noon and O'Clock. The reg
ular monthly meetings of the club will
be held on the night of full moon at
Cliff House. At the outing on Tuesday
night there were about fifteen automo-
biles. AS several of them were capable
of seating four persons, there were be-
tween forty and fifty chauffeurs and
guests at Cliff House. On the return trip
an electric surrey driven by s. D. Rogers
ran short of power and was towed into
the city by surrey operated by w. s.
Arnold Charles L. Fairs Panhard-
Levassor machine was on Van Ness ave-
nue., but did not make the run to Cliff
House. On the return trip a machine
driven by one of the operators of the
Mobile Company was coming rapidly down
Golden Gate avenue, parts of the pave
ment of which were wet. The wheels
skidded hurting the machine violently
against the curbstone and throwing the
occupants out. The rig was wrecked, but
the occupants escaped without injury A
smooth wet pavement is dangerous to a
machine going at rapid gait, and no
automobilist should go over such a sur
face at a speed higher than eight to ten
miles per hour.
Tuesday nights run was under the new
regulations recently issued by the COM
mittee on runs, Robert Lennie being cap
tain. The next run will probably be into
the country, Niles Canyon having been
suggested as the point of destination.

YOUNG DOGS
MAKE BIDS
FOR HONORS
Champion Coursers Are Being
Dethroned by Fast Puppies
That Are Now IN the Game
Crowds Increasing at Union
Park and Leashmen's Sport
Takes en- Prosperous Look

The sport of the leash is enjoying a
boom at present that is felt on all sides.
Never before in the history OF the game
has coursing taken on such a prosperous
look. The increased attendance at the
weekly meets has reached a proportion
that is gratifying to the coursing asso-
ciation and dog owners alike. In return
for their patronage the followers Of the
sport are treated to class of coursing
that is admittedly superior to that OF any
past year. The condition OF the mares at
this particular season Is large ldclOE
in the betterment Of the taSt and inter
esting trials that have delighted the
crOw0s in attendance. According TO vet
eran leashmen, il is not of record that
the hares have held their strength and
speed so far into the rainy season.
While many of the old hounds that
have been campaigning through several
seasons are still in the running and hold
ing their own, new performers are COM
ing in and are making regulations for
which some well-bred youngster does nor
figure. The more than occasional senSa-
tional work Of the newcomer FORCES the
wise bettors to do some figuring.
Albert Curtis has a number OF promls-
ing young hounds coming on, which he
figures viii equal if not excel his present
strong kennel Of stake-winners. OF the
puppies that are likely candidates for
future events a litter by Fetter Free, out
of Echo, and one by Chartist, out of
Maud S, give the most promise. Already
T. y
trials in private with the older and ex-
perienced big ones, and the results have
been more than satisfactory to him.
J Horn has a promising litter by
Rocker, out of Bona The youngsters are
pronounced a fine looking lot, and, con-
sidering their breeding, the prediction
that they will develop into early stake
winners is quite natural
Some of the crack performers of the
Pasha Kennel will be sold at auction at
Union Park on December 15. The kennel
for some time past has been overcrowded
and the wedding out process was finally
decided upon. Twelve courserS, all of
them with records familiar to the follow
ers of the sport, will be disposed Of The
list includes Lawrence, Snapshot, Risky
Rude Awakening, Belle Clair, Belle
Rocket Rustic Arbor, Gold Hunter
Qmp) formerly Gold Nugget, by Fabu-
lous Fortune-Gatherer, and Real Lassie
The sale of these greyhounds will distrib-
ute some good blood lines among the local
kennels.
Battle Royal. a celebrated stud dog of
Montana, has been sent to this city. The
hound has been placed in charge OF A. ].
DR.. F. P. Clark of Stockton has pur-
chased Royal Anne from the Pasha Ken
nels and viii run her in the future in the
Slough City.
At the Stockton Park the slips are
shorter than on the local field, and with
that advantage Royal Anne should show
the way to the hare to all her new op-
ponents.
Union Park presents a strong card for
tomorrow. In addition to the open stake
event is made up of the pick Of local
coursers, among which is Little Sister,
who holds the record Of stake-winning
bitches in America.

Of Long Bridge.
e annual entertainment of Il


The annual entertainment of the Ariel
Rowing Club last Saturday night assumed
the form Of a masquerade ball given in
Saratoga Hall. Though the rain kept
some visitors away, the dance was sue
cessful.
The club has enough money on hand to
begin work on the new quarters so soon
as the site has been definitely settled
The Pioneers when their old house on
Long Wharf was removed, built a rough
shed on Kentucky street, in which their
boats and rowing equipment are stored.
By carrying the boats across the street
the water can be reached. 1t was sug-
gested that the Ariels should erect the
temporary quarters jointly with the Pho
Ieers, but as the expense was considera-
bic and the shed will be considerable
distance from the water when the seawall
is built the Ariels contented themselves
with storing their boats and oars in a
warehouse.
The election of a new board Of officers
to serve for the coming year will take
place at the meeting of the Ariel Rowing
Club on Monday evening.
The nominating committee of the Dol
phin Rowing Club has selected the fol-
lowing as the regular ticket for the COM
ing half year: For president, Joseph s.
Earls; vice president, Charles NJ. Farrell;
