CURRENT PRESS COMMENTS

If any nation can clean up the

never remove the stain from the n

HOUNDS OF CLASS
ARE COMING OUT
Young COursefS Shown This
Season in the BIG Stakes
Have a Lot of Quality

One of the best signs of the solid
foundation upon which the strain of
California greyhounds is founded is
the number of good young hounds
which have come out this year. While
there is no phenomenal performer like
For Freedom, Palo Alto or Pocatelli
among them the average class is high.
G. Lacy Crawford, the millionaire
sportsman of st. Louis, has a promis-
Ing pair in Tom Hooker and Agile
Squirt, both of which have won here
recently.
The coursing parks are experiencing
considerable difficulty in securing
hares. Owing to the early season there
is an abundance of green feed in the
San Joaquin and the hares have taken
TO the foothills. With a severe winter
these conditions Will prevail for some
time.
The latest advices from the East
are to the effect that the American
Waterloo viii be run at the meeting
which opens at Friend, Neb., on the
18th instant. This will continue four
weeks. The Mississippi Valley Futur-
ity will be the big event of the meet
ing. The Burke Cup stake and the
American Derby, for puppies, will also
be run. Only $500 will be added to
the Waterloo Cup. so it will be more
for the honor than for the value that
owners will send their hounds.
1t is expected Ed Neeves, who spent
some time on this coast. will act as
Judge
James Sweeney will attend the meet
iEg. He will have in his string Rocker
Arm, Rocked Asleep, Richard Anton
and McVey.
P. M. Clarkson, who died on
Wednesday, was prominently identified
with coursing. He was a member of
the California Coursing Committee
and owned some good greyhounds at
different times.
An attractive class stake with twen-
ty-four entries and a reserve event
with forty-eight contenders will pro-
vide the card tomorrow at Union
Coursing Park. The likely winners
lCok to be:

ANTIQUE STYLE
ON TIE FIELD
Veteran CricketerS to Weld
Willows in a Match Remi-
niscent of SchOolboy Days

Though the cricket championship Of
1904 was won last Sunday by the San
Francisco County Club, one or two
more matches VIII be played before the
season is brought to a close. To-
morrow, on the ground at Webster
street. Alameda, there will be rally
OF veteran cricketers. Henry Ward of
the Alameda Club and Taliesin Evans
of the san Francisco County Club will
select teams on the field.
The veterans from whom the sides
viii be picked are J. Addison, A. E
Acklom, a. e. Aitl1en, S. T. Britten, c.
Banner, Captain Black, II. Z. Boulton,
j. L. Bird, II. wv Brown, Henry Dixon,

Captain Wilding. DR.. Wardiaw, Henry
Ward and George Wiseman.
The members of both teams playing
for the championship last Sunday must
have been nervous, for the first nine
men of the Alameda eleven scored only
q runs in all, ana, though Harold Ward
added 2S runs off his own bat, he should
have been given out by the umpire for
obstructing a fielder When the score
had reached As runs the Alameda cap
tain bumped into Is. ]. Stratten, who
was in the act OF catching the ball.
OF the San Francisco team nine
scored only a dozen runs, the whole
score being made by Captain Richard
son (65) and e. J. Stratton (29). Henry
Roberts bowled well for San Francisco,
capturing seven Alameda wiclzets for 50
runs Roberts has BOWED consistently
well throughout the. season, and, though
Davies has a rather better average,
Roberts has captured far more wickets.
The standing of the clubs for the
championship Of 1904 is shown in the

TOURNA MENT PLAY
TO Be RESUMED
Exciting Matches in the
Bay Counties Tennis Cham
piOnShip for TO-MOrrOw

Play in the first annual tennis tour
bay counties will be resumed to-mor-
row on the park courts. Owing to the
numerous defaults and the fact that
the committee had about six courts at
its disposal the first and nearly all of
the second round was completed. When
play is over for the day tomorrow 1t
is expected there will be but eight Of
the sixty-four players left in the COM
petition.
From now on the best players will
come together and the matches will be
better than they were last Sunday. In
the third round Percy Murdock and
r. n. Whitney will meet, as will George
Baker and Clarence Griffin. In this
round Drummond MacGavin will play
George James. Despite the fact that
the latter beat Will Collier last Sunday
he is not conceded a chance against
the coast champion. Grant Smith and
Herbert Long, the clever young player
from the California Club, will probably
meet in the third round. Long has two
sets love on Hotchkiss and is expected
to win his match. Long always makes
a good showing against Smith in prac-
tice.
The best match of the day will be
that between Whitney and Murdock.
Whitney is playing in his Old-time form
and Murdock will find him harder to
beat than when they met at San Ra-
faeI.
The Baker-Griffin match will be an
other interesting one. Griffin disposed
of Bakers younger brother last Sun
day quite handily. Baker was also In
fine fettle, as his match with Allen
proved. If Baker can play as well as
he did last Sunday Griffin can hardly
beat him.
In the lower section Of the lower half
the best man seems to be Noble. He is
not a first-class player, but is expected
to win from Hotchkiss.
In the upper section Of the top half
Baker is expected to win out. Mac
Gavin is conceded the. other place in
this half. In the upper part of the bot
tom half there are three men who have
about an equal chance. They are Whit
ney. Murdock and Smith. The latter
meets the winner of the Whitney-Mur-
dock match and the winner goes into
the semi-finals.
A new tournament committee has
been appointed at the California Club,
and in future there will be more tour
naments The committee is composed
of Drummond MacGavin, c. j. Smith
and DR.. Lovegrove. They will meet
early next week and will arrange
schedule for the winter months. Aside
from the handicap doubles tourna-
ments for the Directors cups, there will
be class, handicap and scratch events
Many of the old-time players of the
club have again become members and
will figure in the tournaments.

On c. w. Clark's polo field at San

ball will be faced in the last lacrosse
match of the season. The opposing
teams will be the San Mateo and the
OLYMPIC Club. At the last meeting be-
tween these teams, about three weeks
ago, the Olympic representatives won
six goals to three. The Olympic Club

For some time the San Francisco
Lacrosse Club has been endeavoring
to arrange a match between the play
ers of this city and of Los Angeles,
but it is not likely the match will come
off. The Los Angeles players demand
ed a guarantee of their travelling and
hotel expenses and a share of the gate
receipts. The San Francisco club is
unable to accede to these terms. The
lacrosse championship of the State is
thus left in doubt. The San Francisco
team won a clear victory over the San
Mateo twelve, and the San Mateo team
beat the Los Angeles players in their
own city A series of matches between
the San Francisco and Los Angeles
teams would have been interesting.
apd II is to he regretted il could not
be arranged.
