TENNIS PLAYERS
SUME PRACTICE
With One Championship Dis
posed of They Look For
ward to September Event

Now that the San Francisco and the
State tennis championships have been
decided tournament play will be re-
sumed on the courts. With the coast
championship events less than two
months away the players will put in
every spare moment before the nets.
Both the California and the Golden
cate clubs are planning tournaments
for week from tomorrow. On the
courts of the former club the sixth
handicap doubles tournament for the
Directors cups will be held The first
and second class men will meet in cup
contests on the public courts at the
park
Since 1901 every coast championship
event has been won by players from
Southern California. Last year Percy
Murdock and Grant Smith came close
TO beating Champion Bell. This year
the outlook is even better. Murdock
has improved since the last tournament
and MacGavin has come to the front
as likely candidate. Smith will not
participate but MacGavfn and Muir
dock will make combination the
champions will find hard to beat.
smith Intended to play In the doubles
with MacGavin but the match with
MacGavin last Monday made it evil
dent to the ex-champion that any
turther play this year would result in
permanent injury to his health. Smith
and MacGavin have ranked second as
doubles team for three years and
each year have succumbed only to the
champions. AS Freeman will not play
In September the holne players could
probably annex the championship this
year with little difficulty Smith may
get into shape by next year but it is
doubtful If he will ever play in a tour
nament again
The tournament last week proved
conclusively that Herbert Long and
Clarence Griffin. are easily the most
promising young players in the vicinity
or San Francisco. Considering 1t was
Longs first appearance at San Rafael
his showing was remarkable. While
Griffin does not possess as much skill
as Long he has other qualities that are
essential to successful tournament
play.

PLAYERS THR0NG
THE PARK Kinks
The Gentle Pastime of Scot
tish Bowling Continues to
Gain in Popular Favor

Although many of the club members
are out of town the green at Golden
Gate Park is much too small to ac-
commodate the numerous Scottish
bowlers who congregate there on Sat-
urday afternoons. The players are
forced to wait their turn and early in
the afternoon only doubles are played.
Despite the fact that the popularity of
the game is on the increase there is a
surprising lack of interest in the tour
naments under way. Both were start
ed several months ago, but the players
do not get together. The doubles
event should have been completed
last Saturday but as yet. the semi
final round has not been played. The
match which was set for last Satur-
day will be played to-day. The con-
testants will be w. r. Eaton and DR..
Hamilton and James Mearns and
Thomas Mcknight. The winner of this
match will meet Maxwell Grove and ].
NJ. Duncan in the finals next Saturday
The contestants in the semi-final
match are evenly matched and a close
contest will result when they meet
Many of the players think DR.. Hamil-
ton and Eaton Will carry off the hon
ors but the other men have bowled
well throughout the tournament.
The singles tournament is in a more
chaotic state even than the doubles.
Defaults have greatly outnumbered
matches actually played and it be-
gins to look as if the tournament
would be abandoned. The lack of
success of this tournament is un-
doubtedly due to the fact that the
names of all the club members were
drawn. Some had no intention of
playing, and many are out of town,
and consequently only a few matches
have been played. In the doubles
tournament only those competed who
entered their names.
The victory of the Oakland bowlers
on Monday was a surprise. In the two
previous meetings the home bowIers
won with ease and the visitors were
hardly conceded to have a chance.
The Oaklanders have been practicing
constantly and the fifth and deciding
match will be a hard-fought affair.

The rains during the week were

for the growth of vegetation, except in
a few extreme eastern counties where
the need of rain is becoming apparent
on all growing crops Heavy rains fell
on the Sth in q few counties in the

The temperatures during the week
were high and averaged slightly above
normal; and, combined with an
abundant supply of moisture, were
favorable for plant growth. Marked
improvements have been noticed in all
crops, particularly gardens, which are
now in splendid condition.
Considerable advancement has been
made in farm work which is generally

the eastern and central districts but
is still in full progress in the western

Wilmington, n. c., July 12.-The

saloon men claim that in no other
city in the State has there been any
organized resistance to the wave OF
dispensary agitation that has been
sweeping over the State that they

are just as confident; just as determ-
