Pasha. The following year DR.. f. p.
Clark, then, as now, president Of the

mighty Pocatelli, which won.
The stake is remarkably well bal
anced and the. talent has given up
in despair trying 10 pick the ultimate
winner. Lost Chord, which won her
last two starts at Ingleside, on which
field she always shows to advantage,

TENNIS CHAMPION
WILL PLAY HERE
Presence of Miss May Sutton,
Americas Greatest Player,
Will Help the Tournament

The seventeenth annual tournaments
for the tennis honors of the coast are
less than three weeks away and the
cracks are practicing as much as pos
sible. The tournaments this year are
attracting unusual interest. This is
partly due to the fact that Miss May
Sutton, the greatest woman player in
America, will again be seen at San Ra-
fael. The decision of Miss Sutton and
her two clever sisters to participate
has assured the success of the women's s
events. OF course the champion will
have things all her own way, but a
match with either of her sisters is al
ways interesting.
The home players are not conceded
a chance with the Suttons, but they
are thought to be skillful enough to
play Miss Violet or Miss Florence
rather close. Miss Hazel Hotchkiss
and Miss Ratcliffe are the best players
here and much is expected Of them.
The presence of several old players
will also make the contests unusually
interesting. The Hardy brothers may
play and Reuben Hunt, the new north
western champion, has already entered
the tournament. DR.. Sumner Hardy
has expressed a willingness to play and
Will 90 SO IL ne can pISNdll upOiA his
brother, Sam, to again enter tourna-
ment play. Hunt has made an excel
lent showing in the East and the
cracks are anxious to cross rackets
with him. Q
The project Of bringing several Of the
Eastern cracks to the coast has been
abandoned The committee Is doing
nothing in regard to the matter and if
the Fasteners come they will do so at
the last moment and on their own re-
sponsibility.
The players that will compete this
year are more evenly matched than
ever before and no one outclasses the
rest. Champion Bell will have to be at
his best to retain his title. Percy Muir
dock and Drummond MacGavtn will be
the mainstay Of the north. A great
deal is expected of Hunt, but he has
not played here for nearly two years
and little is known of his game. He
must have improved considerably,
however, to beat Waidner.
From the southern part Of the State
Champion Bell and Fritz Overton will
make a strong combination.
If Sumner Hardy elects to play he
would probably win the championship.
In doubles, however, he and his broth
er would not have such a sure thing.
MacGavin and Murdock and Bell and
Overton would be hard men for the
Hardys to beat.
The Golden Gate Tennis Club has
planned q handicap doubles tourna-
ment for Sunday. The last event of
the kind was won by Charles Dunlap
and Charles Foley. Many other teams
have won the cups once.
The young ladies of the Golden Gate
Club Tennis Annex will hold class
singles on the park courts to-day. Play
will be called promptly at $3.50.

CRICKET ELEVENS
FIGHT FOR LEAD
Foremost Clubs in Contest
for Championship of 1904
Oppose Each Other Sunday

The regular cricket match between
a team Of sailors from British ships
lying in Oakland harbor and an eleven
made up by the Rev S. H. Wingfield
Digby, chaplain of the Seamen's Insti-
tute, will be played this afternoon on
Adams ground, East Oakland.
The Pacific cricket team Will meet
the San Francisco County eleven to-
morrow for the fourth time during the

Petersen, II. F. Pepys, M. Eubank, A.
c. Chadwick, Z. G. Sloman, p. r. John,
A Davies and W. r. Stewart or w. E..
Rocker.
The Pacific team is as strong a one
as 1t has put into the field at any time
during the present season and, now
IlaI the san FRANCISCO county OluD
has lost its overwhelming superiority,
should make a close and interesting
contest AS the Pacific and San Fran
cisco County teams have the same per-
centage. SO, for the championship of
the California Cricket Association for
1904, the victory of either team in to-
morrow's match Will put it at the head
Of the percentage table, giving the
winner a percentage of so, while the
loser will drop to So and have exactly
the same percentage as the Alameda
club, which has played one match less
than the Pacific and the San Francisco
County teams will have done at closing
time tomorrow.
A. w. Wilding has been in British
Columbia for two weeks, but returns
in time to take part in tomorrow 8
match AS he has played in three or
four matches during his holidays, he
has had plenty of practice.
No match having been played last
Sunday and the game played on Sun
day, July 81, not having been a sched-
uled one. the standing of the clubs for
the championship pennant remains as
before: Pacific Club, SO; San Fran
cisco County Club, SO; Alameda Club,
So and Santa Cruz Club, 33. The
batting and bowling averages also re-
main unchanged, as given in The Call
of July 80.

costly Office building on the site now

. Killed by Wire Fences.

Since the use of wire fences has be
come so extensive, the number of cat
tie killed each year by lightning has
greatly increased. Farmers insur
ance companies have investigated the
matter and now come forward with a
warning to policy holders. Nearly all
of the cattle killed by lightning have
met their death in open fields, where,
in many instances, there was not even
a tree to attract the electric fluid.
AS many dead cattle were found near
wire fences, this led to the discovery
that the lightning was carried along
the wires composing the fences. Dur
ing a severe storm cattle are liable 70

they stand huddled together ready for

running a ground wire every ten rods

recently he and his party passed
through Thirty-fourth street, the CHIEF

who saluted him.
AS the mounted policemen who rode
ahead reached Thirty-fourth street 8

up on the north side of the street tc

The passengers grinned, but the
grin changed to a puzzled expression
when, as the barker shouted, Hello.
Colonel; you see I'm on deck" the
president bowed and smiled cordial
ly. They were not aware that he
would do the same to any one who had
the nerve to salute him as did the
bogus Rough Rider.

Every section of the state will be rep

a great interest and several OF them
will have large exhibits. Arate OF
one fare for the round trip has been
made from every station in the state,
tickets on sale from the 18th to 10th
and good to return until 18th. This
rate will afford a splendid opportu-
nifty for the people from all over the
state, who have not hitherto done SO,
to visit the state capital, see the new
capiol building and other state insti-
buttons as we'll as attend the Carnl-
val. There will be plenty of amuse-
ment for those who desire it, two
bands will give concerts daily, there
will be fire works at night, and a great

in more ways than one. Too many
communities in the state do not know
what is being done in the next COM

The good people Of Crystal Springs
are thoroughly alive and wide-awake.
As an evidence of the truthfulness Of
this statement can be noted the
splendid display of farm and dairy
products made on the 21st for the ben
eft of the home-seekers excursion. The
writer had the privilege of spending
a short time there and was greatly
impressed with the alertness OF the
citizens Of hat enterprising communi-
ity. The long fruit shed at the depot
had been transformed into a regular
fair. with a magnificent display of ev-
cry product of the section. Corn, cot
ton, potatoes, turnips, hay, sugar cane,
peas, live stock and a display of flow
ers that would have done any place
proud. All these articles were of
enormous size and quality. There
were fat pigs, large chickens, great
turkeys and every domestic fowl.
Plates of butter that would tempt the
appetite of a confirmed dyspeptic.
Sweet potatoes that few would make
a bushel. Second crop of Irish pota-
toes that could be excelled nowhere.
Chrysanthemums and beautiful roses
as large as saucers. To tell the truth,
Crystal Springs did herself proud and
it was the verdict Of all visitors who
saw the display that the community
was "all right" A large display OF
these poducts will made at the Carnl-
val in December at Jackson, and 9TH
er places expecting to compete with
them had better begin hustling right
now and keep it up until the last min
ute has expired.
