DOLPHIN 0ARSMEN
ARE QUITE ACTIVE
North Beach Organization to
Be Represented by Crews
in Admission Day Regatta

The regatta to be held on Lake Mer-
the Golden West celebration of Ad-
mission day will attract crews from
all the clubs except the Olympic Boat
Club, which has shown no signs of life
during the present year. The Dolphin
Boating Club will send two barge
crews, a Junior and an intermediate.
The latter will pull in the senior race
also. The intermediate crew will be
made up of the same men that rowed
in the Fourth of July regatta. The
junior crew will consist of new men.
F. j. Sherry, who won the outraged
skin race in the, senior class at the
championship regatta and against
whom protest was raised by the Ala
media Boating Club for impeding other
competitors in their course, has been
awarded the first prize. Though he
pulled wildly and took the water of
each of his competitors in turn, he
neither fouled nor was fouled by either
of them. 1t was alleged that the Ala
media representative did not foul
Sherry because he was afraid of dam
aging the new Alameda racing skiff
1t is obviously absurd to claim the
benefit Of a foul if no foul actually was
made.
The Dolphin Boating Club will also
have representative in the junior
outraged skiff race in the Admission
day regatta. He will be selected by
competition
Rowing at Stanford University is
still in a bad way and no signs of
speedy improvement are apparent. At
the end Of June the water, which had
been sinking lower and lower in Lake
Lagunita, was drained off, as has been
done each summer. The lake is artifi-
cial and. though hundreds of tons Of
clay have been spread over the bottom
to retain the water, it is still leaky
and can probably never be made tight
The crews of the University Boat Club
have hitherto practiced on the lake,
but will probably try to secure boat
house on San Francisco Bay, which is
three miles distant

PRACTICE ENGAGES
TENNIS PLAYERS
Are Putting in All Their
Spare Time at the Nets
for the Championships

The annual coast championship ten
mis- tournament will commence on Sep
tember 2 at San Rafael and the cracks
are putting in every spare moment in
practice before the nets. 1t is more
than likely all of the challenge
matches will go by default. In the
mems doubles Bell and Freeman will
surely not defend. The latter is out
of the State. Bell, the singles cham
pion, is in the East competing in the
national championships and it is
doubtful if he will return in time. May
Sutton, the woman champion, is also
in the East and rumor has it that the
Suttons will not be seen at San Rafael
this year.
The absence of the Southern Cali
fornia champions will lessen the in
terest in the events. Championship
players in this part of the State are
rare. If the southerners stay away
the championship tournament will
simply resolve itself into a match be-
tween Drummond MacGavin and
Percy Murdock. Reuben Hunt is ex-
pected to arrive in time to play, in
w
no sure thing. Hunt was as clever as
either of them wheI he left here and
he has undoubtedly improved in the
East Another man who has signified
his intention of entering is Fritz Over
ton of Los Angeles. He is one of the
cleverest players on the coast. These
four would furnish some interesting
matches.
If the Suttons and Miss Dobbins do
not \enter the womens events they
would attract but little attention.
There are just three girls in the bay
counties who play any kind of a game
at all and the entry list would be
small. Miss Hotchkiss, Miss Edwards
and Miss Ratcliffe are the only ladies
possessed of much ability.
The tournament committee, antici-
pating an annually large entry list,
decided to start play on the I'd and
thus allow ample time in which to
finish the events. On the I'd the mems
singles and women's doubles will be
started. On Monday. the 5th, the
mems doubles will commence.
The challenge matches will be
played on September 9 and 10.
The Oregon State championship
tournament opens on the 22d inst. at
Portland. The courts of the Multno-
nah Athletic Club will be used.
The next tournament to be played
on the Golden Gate Park courts is
scheduled for the 14th inst. Entries
close on the 18th inst. 1t will be a

The members Of the Corinthian
Yacht Club will cruise to Petaluma
drawbridge this evening, the tide run
ming flood until 6:46 p. m. at Fort
Point and to a much later hour in
Petaluma Creek. Anchor will be
dropped near the bridge for the night
and tomorrow the fleet will return on
the ebb tide to moorings at Tiburon.
This evening the fleet of the California
Yacht Club, several Of which returned
last Sunday from the annual cruise up
the Sacramento River, will sail to
Sheep Island, where fish chowder will
be prepared on the beach tomorrow
To-day and tomorrow are open on the
programme of the San Francisco Yacht
Club. On Sunday, the 14th inst, there
will be aquatic sports at the club
house at Sausalito.
The Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Asso-
citation will hold its first meeting Of the
present season at the temporary quar-
ters of the Merchants Exchange on
Sansome street on Monday evening
next. The business of the past year
will be wound UP and the association
will reorganize for the coming twelve
months. Commodore W. G. Morrow
recently appointed the regatta commit-
tee Of the San Francisco Yacht Club
as delegates to the association. The
members of it are ex-Commodore r. s.
Bridgman, Roy G. Ward and c. NJ
Gum. The delegates Of the Corinthian
Yacht Club are T. J. Kavanagh, NJ
Brennan and F. z. Schober The rep
resentatives of the South Bay Yacht
Club are S. E. Smith, F. L. Corbin and
T. E. Gibson. The Vallejo Yacht and
Boat Club will be represented by p. ].
Weniger and Carl Siebrand. 1t is
doubtful whether the Encinal Yacht
Club will send delegates to the Asso-
citation or not After organization has
been effected. the delegates will make
the preliminary arrangements for the
ninth annual regatta of the Pacific
Inter-Club Yacht Association to be
held on September 9.
1t is probable that the San Francisco
perpetual challenge cup. won by the
sloop Corinthian. which defeated the
sloop Challenger. the holder of the
trophy in the recent race. will he
turned over to the winning club on
Saturday evening next at the Cor
inthian clubhouse in Tiburon. The
trophy has not been in the CUSTODY os
the Corinthian Yacht Club since 1000
in which year the sloop Challenger
now owned by W. G. Morrow. won n
from the sloop Harpoon. The return
of the highlyprized trophy to the
Tiburon clubhouse will be made the
occasion Of jollifcation.

MISS RAY ALEXANDER
GOES To PARENTAL SCHOOL
Board OF Education Assigns Teacher
10 Assist Principal Faulkner in
Difficult Work.

At to-day's meeting Of the Board of
Education Miss Rae Alexander. now
in charge of the receiving class at the
Franklin Grammar School, will he
transferred to the newly created Pa
rental School as chief assistant to r.
D. Faulkner. who was recently elect
ed principal OF the institution.
Miss Alexander is eminently fit for
her new position and was transferred
thereto at the special request of Prin-
cipal Faulkner. The pupils of the
school will be culled from these iuve-
nile Offenders who will be given a
chance TO reform. Should they show
a firm disposition TO mend their ways
they viii be allowed to return to their
regular schools.
It is planned to develop the school
by slow stages and It is the opinion of
educational officials that Faulkner
and Miss Alexander will be perfectlv
competent TO deal with the difficult
problems Of the new venture.

count of the unplayable condition of
the Preside links.
1t is by no means certain that there
will be any contest for the open cham
pionship of the Pacific Coast. The alb
sence Of players from the south will
render it impossible to hold a match
between teams representing Northern
and Southern California, so that the
only contests certain to take place are
those for the Del Monte cups, one for
men and another for women. Just
what competitions will be held will be
settled within the next few days. 1t
is possible the meet will be held dur
ing the week of the 22d to 9th inst,
as the races to be held by the Auto
mobile Club Of California on the 26th
and 9th on the Del Monte track will
attract many visitors at that time.
Though a few players continue to
practice on the Presidio links, the
course has been so much cut up by
cavalry drills that no competitions
have been held by the members of the
San Francisco Golf Club for several
months. On the new course at Ingle-
side such work is being done as can be
accomplished in the dry season, burn
ing off grass and weeds and stubbing
up bushes. When the first rains come
in the fall the task of laying out the
course will be prosecuted vigorously.
The winning of the British amateur
championship of 1904 by Walter J.
Travis has drawn much attention to
the aluminium putter used by him
and known as the "mallet" or
Schenectady" putter. Many great
Scotch golfers still use the old-fash-
ioned wooden putter, among them
being James Braid, Andrew Kirkaldy,
Willie Fernie, Archie Campbell, H H.
Hilton and Arthur Balfour. The iron
headed putter is the one used by Harry
and Tom Vardon, A. Herd, w. H. Tay-
lor. ]. E. Laidlay. Horace G. Hutch
inson and most of the best known mod
ern golfers. The aluminium or "mallet"
putter has been known in England for
more than two years, but there had
been no demand for it. Since the vic
tory Of Travis the firm of English max
ers received orders in a few days. for
nearly two hundred dozen. Nearly
year ago six dozen were sent out
from London to Hongkong and the
putter is much used in Australia (the
native country of Travis) and New
Zealand. The English retail dealers
do not dwell much on the merits Of the
aluminium putter. as they have large
stocks Of iron putters on hand, but
they admit that they receive many
inquiries for the new club.
The makers Of the "mallet" say that
its weight is concentrated at the point
where the shank enters the base, en-
abling the player to judge his stroke
better and preventing the putter from
turning in the players hands. The
putter weighs 10 OF. , dwts The won
derful putting Of Walter Travis is,
however, to be attributed to his skill
more than to the club he uses The
material of the head and the weight
of the putter are not wholly respon-
sible.

MODEL YACHT OWNERS
READY FOR CUP CONTEST
Large Fleet of Boats VIII Conlpets
for the Dickie Trophy on
Spreckels Lake.

With the new set OF racing rules
which minimizes the element OF luck
IL pennant races, and with the meas
uring tank in operation, the model
yacht owners expect the races at
Spreckels Lake, Golden Gate Park, to
be more satisfactory than formerly
In the past boats of all sizes and de-
scriptions have met on even terms and
some of the smaller ones have stood
absolutely no show.
Measurer L. S. Adams is busy meas
uring and stamping the yachts OF the
San Francisco Model Yacht Club. He
expects to have them all measured be-
fore the end Of next week. Large and
small boats will still meet in compeh-
ton, but the latter will be given 9
time allowance and thus the large
boats will not win everything in sight
Tomorrow will be the last day In
which the boats will meet without the
time allowance.
The annual regatta for the Dickis
cup is scheduled in the bylaws to be
raced on the second Sunday in August
A postponement was deemed advis-
able, as the measuring Of the yachts
would take some time. Only stamped
boats can compete in this race. so II

will meet the San Francisco County
team for the fourth time during the
present season. Now that the San
Francisco County team has been
weakened by the removal and detection
of some of its strongest players, it is
about on an equality with the other
two city teams, so that the result Of a
contest being uncertain, more interest
is felt in it. The representatives of the
San Francisco County Club will be
chosen from the following: Harold B.
Richardson (captain). Henry Roberts,
f. NJ. Petersen. T. ]. A. Tiedemann, NJ.
Eubank. w. R. Stewart, w. E. r.

The match played last Sunday on the
Alameda ground resulted in a victory
for w. Jamieson's side over H Rob
erts' eleven. AS the teams were merely
picked up on the field. the scores will
not be reckoned in the batting or bowl
ing averages Of the players. H B.

ting averages, with A. w. Wilding sec
