and has lost his wicket only once.
This was on May s, the opening day of
the season, in the match against the
Alameda club, when he was caught by

Harold Ward. His scores have in
cluded 100 not out and 1O3 not out, and
his total of runs is 357. A. Jenkins of

EASTERN EXPERTS
MAY PLAY HERE
Tennis Enthusiasts Are Dis
cuSsing Ways and Means
of Bringing Out Players

Tennis enthusiasts are discussing the
possibility Of bringing trio of the
Eastern cracks to this coast for the
tournament in September at San Ra-
faeL. This has been talked of for sew
eral years but nothing has come of it.
Those who are making the arrange
ments claim that Beales Wright, Ward
and Clothier are willing to come. These
three players rank among the first five
in the United States.
The fourth annual tournament for
the championship OF the State will
commence on the Hotel Rafael courts,
San Rafael, on July 1. The champion
ship match will be played on the after
noon of July 4. The winner of the
tournament will play Grant M. Smith.
the present champion, in the challenge
match
As usual the women's State cham
picnship will be held at the same time.
The championship match in this event
will be played on the morning of
July T.
On Sunday a consolation doubles
tournament for men beaten in their
LISL OdIcn VIII De played.
1t was thought a fortnight ago the
State championship tournament would
be lacking in class, but Percy Muir
dock, ]. D. MacGavin and Harry Wiehe
have signifed their intention to enter
and the event this year will probably
be the most interesting of the kind
ever held. The Southern Californians
as usual will not compete, but all of
the best players in this part of the
State will be in the competition.
In the San Francisco championship
tournament Murdock, by playing a
clever game, wrested the honors from
MacGavin. The latter is practicing
hard and is anxious to get a return
match with Murdock. These two play
ers are almost sure to meet Harry
Wiehe has always been a prominent
player although he has never won
championship honors. He played four
years for Stanford and can always be
relied upon to put up a great fight.
Wiehe has been practicing at Mill VAL
ley for a month and will be at his best
when the tournament starts.
One of these three players is almost
sure to win the tournament, but there
is considerable doubt as to which one
will meet Grant Smith on the 4th The
champion has been away for three
weeks and has not touched a racket
for almost a month. He expects to
get into trim in the week remaining
and can be counted upon to put up a
strong game.
Will Allen and George Baker have
not decided whether they will play.
Either would stand a. fair chance to
win. Besides these players there are
many lesser lights who will be in the
competition. Herbert Long, Clarence
Griffin, George James and Tracy Craw-
ford have entered and, while they are
not expected to win, will make the
cracks work to beat them.
Miss Miriam Edwards of Berkeley
is the woman champion of the State.
She won the tournament last year.
which was the first for the State cham
pionship. She will meet the tournament

B0WLERS PREFER
PRACTICE GAMES
Ancient Scottish Pastime
Gains Recruits Steadily,
but They Avoid Matches

Despite the fact that Scottish bowl
ing is becoming more popular each
week and the Kinks are taxed to their
utmost. the two tournaments in pro-
gress are not the success that was ex-
pected. Especially is this so in the sin
giles, where the number of defaults re-
corded greatly outnumber the matches
played. There are several reasons for
this. In the first place the names of
all the members of the club were drawn
and many of them had no intention of
competing. Some of the defaults in the
preliminary and first rounds are un-
questionably due to this fact better
plan would be to have an entry list and
let those subscribe their names who are
desirous of playing. This plan was
adopted in the doubles and defaults
have been less numerous.
The absence of many of the players
from town has made it impossible for
them to participate. Aside from this,
however. the regular players seem to
prefer practice games to tournament
play.
The biggest surprise in months was
the defeat of Y. c. Lawson in the first
round at the hands of John Reid. Mr..
Lawson won the second club champion
ship easily and was thought by his
clubmates to be invincible. Mr. Reid
has always bowled well, but II was not
thought he would dispose Of a man as
skillful as his opponent. The match
was a scientific one and closer than the
score indicates.
Several new members of the club
seem to take naturally to the game,
and they should not be overlooked.
John T. Dare and David OBrien are
probably improving faster than any
others at present Mr.. Dare has been
playing less than a year but occasion
ally takes a fall out of the cleverest
bowlers. Mr.. O'Brien has been winning
practice matches every Saturday, and
the cracks are finding him a hard man
to beat.
The doubles tournament has been
completed down to the semi-finals, and
the three remaining matches are being
looked forward to with interest. NJ. l..
Grove and ]. NJ. Duncan will meet j.
S. Webster and G.. c. Patterson. T. Nc
Naught and James will meet DIR. Ham
ilton and w. r. Eaton.

VISITOR FROM SOUTH

Three Strangers Take Horse and

That Animal Has Chambers.

J. z. Perry of Los Angeles had an
experience last Tuesday which is puz-
cling the Police Department, the
Board OF Health and the Humane So
ciety. Mrs. Dutra Of San Bruno Park
IS also particularly interested in the
matter, for the incident resulted to her
in the loss Of a horse, its harness and
2 buggy.
Perry, while on a visit to Mrs.
Dutra, borrowed her team for a drive
10 San Francisco. When he had ar
rived al Twenty-fourth and HAMPSHIRE
streets on his return a man stepped
from the sidewalk and told him the
horse had glanders. The stranger
showed a badge and ordered Perry to
alight. Meanwhile two other men an
pesred and expressed horror at the al
legged terrible condition of the horse
Perry got down from the buggy and
the three strangers drove off with his
outfit
He told his hostess Of the occur
renee as soon as he could reach San
Bruno Park and she commenced an
investigation. The officers of the HUI
name Society did not seize a glandered
horse Tuesday and the officers of the
Health Department and the police
have no knowledge of the matter.
Perry is now of the opinion that he
fell in with a gang Of thieves and was
Victimized.
