Handicap Doubles VIII Be Held
Christmas Day on Both the
Club and the Public Courts

Two tennis tournaments will be
played on Christmas day and both will
be handicap doubles events. In each
event the prizes will be the three-time
cups. The California Club trophies
have been competed for but twice The
first winners were Will Allen and DR..
Hill. The present holders are Chester
and Grant Smith. The Golden Gate
Club cups are in the possession of the
Baker brothers-George and Neil-who
won the last tournament easily.
In the California Club tourney there
will be several changes in the teams.
AS Grant Smith will be unable to play
his brother will join forces with win
Collier. The latter first entered with
Frank Mitchell, but they did not play
well together. Mitchell in future will
play with J. D. MacGavin.
1t is expected that Joe Tobin and VIII
Taylor will enter the tournament. The
presence of these two players would
increase the interest greatly.
In recent practice games they have
shown remarkable strength !. as a
doubles team. In handicap event
they would be hard to beat. as thev
play a careful, steady game. They
would probably play scratch with
Mitchell and MacGavin. Collier and
Smith should play even with teams like
Allen and Hill and Salisbury and
Stringham.
Despite the fact that the cups at the
park have been competed for almost
two years no team at present playing
has two victories to its credit
The Hotchkiss brothers-Marius and
Homer-won the trophies twice, but no
longer play together. The following

which to splete each round Of match
play. IS far as is known at present
there viii be no competition on the
links Of the San Rafael Golf Club on
Christmas day.
The invitation handicap held by the
San Rafael Golf Club last Saturday
proved quite successful, notwithstand-
ing the unfavorable weather, attracting
q fair number Of competitors and being
productive Of a close contest. The play
was over eighteen holes, a silver cup
being offered for the best net score and
q prize for the lowest gross score. z. J.
Hooper, though he has had little prac-
tice for the past two months, played a
strong game, winning the cup for the
best handicap score and tying with
Captain 7. B. s. Menzies for the trophy
for lowest gross score. The full scores
are shown in the table:

SPORTSMEN ENJOY
RARE SHOOTING
ON CANVASBACKS
More Than Eight Hundred of
These Royal Birds Fall to
Alameda Gun Club Men

The royal canvasbacks made their
appearance on all the preserves last
Sunday, apparently having been driven
down from klamath and other north
ern lakes by the cold weather.
The birds were all plump and in
fine condition, showing they had
travelled but comparatively short dis
tance. AS they fly at the rate or more
than ninety miles an hour, few hours
would bring them from the northern
border of the State. China Slough, on
the preserve of the Alameda Gun Club
on the Sonoma marsh, lived up to it's
reputation as a desirable place for can
vasback shooting. Nineteen members
Of the club were out and secured more
than 500 cans" the majority of the
members getting limit bags. Among
those out were Messrs. Norton, Paul
Kingston, Louis Bolander, Geissler,
Swales, Baird and others.
There were a few cans killed on
the Alameda marsh and Con Ramon
was so fortunate as to bring down
some on the Monterey preserve of the
Empire Gun Club. Many cans" were
seen and they displayed no fear of the
sportsmen nor Of their decoys, which
indicates they are strangers in these
parts.
Among the Empire Club men who
were out We're: ]. P. Sweeney, ]. B.
Hauer, f. S. Judah, P. Peltier, Con
Ramon. L. H. Allen, DR.. Clyde Payne,
F.. Blair Turpin, F. B. Surryhne, Dr.
p. F. Alden. Bert Patrick and DR.. A. c.
Sylvester. The guests of the members
were J. NJ. Kilgarif, Captain Cantwell
Of the revenue service and ]. P. Jacob
son.
/. H. Allen was high gun with thir-
ty-two birds. Although all the mem
bers had good shooting. Teal and
widgeon were the birds most in evil
/ dence. The club is batting heavily and
the members expect some good can
! vasback shooting from now on.
The shooting was good on all the
marshes last Sunday. Hundreds of
men returned from Alvarado and AL
viso and all had birds. The San Mateo
marsh also yielded good returns.
The storm of yesterday has damp
/ ened the ardor of the sportsmen, who
expect the birds to be scattered over
/ a wide area tomorrow. The overflow
] between Davis and Sacramento has at
/ tracted thousands of sprig, widgeon
and teal from the Suisun marshes
/ The market hunters and few sports
men are endeavoring to thin out the
fiocks, but make little impression on
l them.
Harry Corbett and Dick Dwyer. the
/ starter, had an excellent shoot on
Wednesday at Middle River, near An
tioch. The joint bag for one morn
! ing's shoot was eighty birds. These
4 included fifty-eight mallard, nine snipe
and six widgeon. The sportsmen were
the guests of J. =. Tisdale and Al
Maltas and were most Hospitality en-
4 tertained on their ark. The malIards
were there in great numbers and all
were plump birds.

While one or two track or so-called
coast records have gone a-glinmering,
nothing bordering on the sensational
has been accomplished by any of the
crack Eastern performers.
But the meeting is yet in its infancy,
and with horses like Shot Gun, Oars
man, Ahumada, Burnie Bunton, San
Nicholas, Claude Incubator, Carat,
Know, Proper, Yellow Tail, Nervator,
Jane Holly, Beau Ormonde, 1ridius'
Mansard, EDicure, Don Domo, Bear
catcher, Cascine and Rockaway as a
portion of the stock to select from one
or two records at least ought to be
shaved down before May day arrives.
1t was unfortunate that the riding
material had to be lessened by the rul-
ing off of three such promising riders
as d. Hall, NJ. Adkins and young Fer
rell. In Europe a jockey must be care
full about his personal habits, else ne
quickly finds himself in disfavor, not
only with the officials, but employers
as well. Too many midnight carousals
usually accomplish the downfall of
American riders. Those after-dark
banquets are all expensive, and II WIN
ming mounts will not settle the bill
there is always the generous hearted
bookmaker in every cline willing to
lend the financially distressed jockey
helping hand. One good turn deserves
another, and sooner or later the jockey
finds himself in trouble.
The Chicago press seem to think the
California Jockey Club hit the nail on
the head when Hall, Adkins and Fer
rell werc ruled off. The Sunday Rec
ord-HeraId of December 13 says Adkins
narrowly escaped the judicial ak last
summer. His employers, the article in
sinuates, took time by the forelock and
gave Adkins an enforced vacation.
Hall, the same article states, was ruled
off the Charleston outlaw track for
using a battery. Possibly this should
not be held against the Texas rider If
he had decided to turn over new leaf.
Many riders who achieved great prom
inence on the turf made mistakes while
serving their apprenticeship which
might not look we'll If played up in
print.
The San Francisco call., 1903-12-19

Allen, Pouth and Dunlap. Whitney and
Brady and the Baker brothers.
The Baker brothers are the strongest
combination at present at the park. In
the last tournament they played from
scratch with Routh and Dunlap and
won the event without losing a set.
They were undoubtedly underestimated
by the Handicapped and in the coming
event will be placed below scratch. The
Bakers are the only team playing to-
gether that has won the cups. Griffin
and Dunlap will probably join forces
and should make much stronger COM
bination than ROuth and Dunlap.
George James and II. Russell Will play
on the same side of the net in future
and will make an aggressive team.
Heretofore the two clubs have man
aged to run their tournaments without
interfering with each other, but COM
plications are commencing to arise.
Each club started a tournament on
THANKSGIVING day and neither event
has been completed up to date. Allen
and MacGavin are I ,mbers Of both
organizations, but joined the California
Club first nd are looked upon as Cali
fornfa Club players. They happened to
come together in the finals of both
events and hence the difficulties. The
entry lists are becoming so large that it
takes several days to run off a tOurna-
ment. 1t will probably become neces-
sary in future for the players who are
members of both clubs to choose be
tween them. Few of the park players
have become members of the California
Club, while quite a number of good
players from the latter club have joined
the Golden Gate Club. In future when
their is a conflict men like MacGavin
and Allen will play in the California
Club tournaments. 1t would be an ex-
cellent plan for the two clubs to send
delegates to a meeting to be called for
the purpose OF surmounting these difi-
culties The clubs are on the best of
terms and are anxious not to interfere
with each other.
Taylor and Tobin Will meet Mitchell
and Collier in a special match to-mor-
row.
