The yawl Tramontana is lying off Sau-

The steam yacht will go to Antioch. The
big sloop Annie, flagship of the Oakland
Canoe Club, was out for a cruise last
Sunday in the upper bay. After a stay
of fortnight or so at Alviso she will
take up moorings at Sausalito and will

will do a good deal of work on her be-

The committee appointed by the Pacific

- HE principal topic of discussion
among tennis enthusiasts is the
~ recent election of directors held
at the California Tennis Club.
The board is made up of practi-
cally the same men as last year, the two
retiring members being George Whitney
and R. ]. Davis. The latter has been
treasurer of the club since it started.
eleven years ago, and it's present success
is largely due to his efforts At first
glance it might appear the members are
ungrateful in not electing Mr.. Davis, but
the fact that he has not played tennis
for year and consequently is unknown
to the new members Justifes them in
their course.
Many changes will be made by the pres
ent board. The tournament committee
will make out a schedule of tournaments
for the coming year. so the players will
know exactly on what days the events
will be held. As the membership limit
2O0-has almost been reached there is talk
of raising the initiation fee. but it is
doubtful if this will Le done, as the ma
jOrity of the members are not in favor
of it.
Several of the local cracks are trying
to learn the peculiar service used by Bell,
the Southern California champion This
service. is made at the top Of the reach
and with the racket parallel to the
ground. The racket is drawn from left to
right. This gives the ball peculiar cut
and causes it TO bound exceedingly high
and toward instead of away from the re-
ceiver. This service was brought to the
coast two years ago by the Eastern cham
pions. Smith and Collier are using it with
the most success at present.
The three new oil-packed courts in
Golden Gate Park have been completed
and have already proved much better
than the ones laid out previously. What
they lack most is rolling. When they are
as hard as the main drive, which is
packed with oil. they will be as true as
asphalt courts, and better In some re-
spects.
Those in charge of the park courts have
acted favorably upon the suggestion OF
putting shower baths and lockers in the
old band stand, and in a short time the
players will have every convenience at
their disposal.
1t would be good plan to build one
asphalt court N the park and have it as
exhibition court. If this were done the
best players in the city would % willing
to play exhibition matches in the park.
This would add to the interest of both
players and spectators.
The building of these courts was mere
ly an experiment, the unexpected success
of which makes it safe to say that in
year from now there will be at least
twenty-five public tennis courts In tho
park.
There will probably be a handicap
doubles tournament for the Davis cups at
the California Club courts to-day, These
cups have been won twice by the Whit
ney brothers, Collier and Crowell and
Smith and Cornell. They must be won
five times to become the permanent prop
erty of any team, Many other teams
have their names on the cups once,

HE withdrawal Of Lester Reif's
license by the stewards Of the
English Jockey Club has excited
more comment than did their ac-
ton in the Sloan case. Tod's
heavy betting and more public life had
prepared the public for some such action
With Rein it was different He led quiet

the English officials have strained point

With all their reputation as broad
minded sportsmen they cannot bear to see
their favorite riders and athletes defeated
nor their pet institutions invaded. Reif

The punishment in Reiff's case is more
severe than that meted out to Sloan. The
latter could visit the race courses-Rein
can not. AS the New York Jockey Club

foreigners winning these classic events.
The cup Of bitterness overhowed the fol-
lowing year when a German boy rode on

then put up and only English riders can

To come down TO the present year, the
SUCCESS Of American oarsmen at Henley
regatta. has brought out the suggestion
that hereafter all foreign entries be re-
fused. II is claimed these regattas origin
ally meant q week Of pleasuring on the
river. The competitions were of a friendly
character and the men trained in a
6esultory sort Of way for them. When
the American crews and single scullers

down 10 strict business such as they had
been accustomed 10 from the first time
they sat on a sliding seat in a practice
boat and, perfonce, Englishmen had to
follow their strenuous methods. 1t is to
do away with this and to return to the
dilettante attitude which prevailed before
the American invasion that Englishmen
are making.
