Pocatelli, one Of the greatest grey
hounds ever bred in California, has
been retired to the stud. The coursing
field thus Loses one Of its cleverest per-
formers. He injured his feet some
months since in competition and it was
found impossible to bring him back to
his old form.
He is owned by George Nethercott of
Sacramento and is by Emin Pasha-Lit-
tie Wonder. These are two of the most
famous American greyhounds, so that
Pocatelli came naturally by his speed
and by the other qualities which made
him stand out as a giant among the
running dogs of this coast. Pocatelli
was considered of such class that nego-
tiations were entered into with his
owner by d well-known fancier in an
effort to send him to England to COM
plete for the great Waterloo Cup. AS
he has not been run to such a degree
as to break him down it is expected he

The coursing men expect some sem

and the hares were just off the train.
With all these handicaps they proved

this week from ali appearances. This

If the weather does not interfere with
the plans of the tennis players there
will be many tournaments in progress
soon. On Washington's Birthday there
will be one at the California Tennis
Club and another on the Alameda ten
mis- courts. The latter will be the first
championship event of the year and
will bring togther the strongest players
in the bay counties. Almost every
player of any prominence at the park
will compete and the California Club
will send four or five good men.
The present champion is George
Baker, who represents the Golden Gate
Tennis Club. 1t is rumored Percy Muir
dock. the Alameda crack, will not enter
the tournament. In this event Baker
will in all probability retain the cham
pionship. Even with Murdock in the
competition the champion could not be
denied a chance. He beat Murdoch in
the. finals last year when he did not
look to have a chance.
Bakers most dangerous opponent
will be George James. The latter has
improved considerably of late and is
good tournament player. He fell off in
his play recently at the park, but viii
do better across the bay. Other players
who will probably work we'll along into
the tournament are Carl Gardner, Her
bert and Melville Long, Harry Rolfe.
Clarence Griffin, Charles Foley, Neil
Baker and Marius Hotchkiss.
The handicap tournament which has
been dragging at the park for weeks,
owing to unfavorable weather. will be
completed down to the semi finals to-
morrow. The committee in charge is
anxious to finish the event before the
Alameda championship tournament is
commenced. Nine players have reached
the third round and seven places are
still open. The following second round
matches will be played in the morning:
Vensano C15) VS.. Gayness (scratch),

far as the matter of having a major

concerned. Eight of the nine players

the makeup of the varsity team.
The eight veterans who are on the
roster of the team are: Heitmuller.
Bliss, Graham, ellis, Streub, Gum,
Wulzer and Sweesy. The men who
dropped out of last years team are
Captain Adams and Kenneth Hamil-

The freshmen who are candidates for
places on the nine are Butler. Reed.

The California Club has decided to
award no prizes in the continuous
tournament for the first three months
play. This is due to the weather. which
has prevented play to any extent In the
tournament. 1t would hardly be fair TO
give James prize for heading the list
when Gardner, who has not lost
match, has not had a chance to reach
the top.
The only change in the first class dur
ing the week was caused by the defeat
of Rolfe at the hands of Gardner. The
latter is in second place and has chal-
lenged James, the number one man.

and that his protest had been entirely
disregarded by the regatta committee
and the directors.
Treats resolution was to the effect
that loyalty to the officers is essential
to the well-being of the club, and that
the officers should enforce the bylaws
rigidly against those who disregard
their reasonable regulations and at
tempt to follow a schedule of their own.
The resolution met with a cordial re-
ception and was declared to be the
sense Of the meeting. The only men,
ber of the regatta committee present
declared the committee had done its
best and that its action is final With
a view to the more satisfactory man
agement of future power-boat races IL
was decided to add three owners OF
such craft to the regatta committee.
Steps are to be taken to amend the by
laws. if II is found necessary, in this
respect.
The general sentiment OF the club.
as shown at the meeting, is strongly in
favor of the commodore and his fellow
directors, and the spirit of opposition
seems much weakened. The prospects
for a successful and harmonious sea-
son are better than they were year
ago. The opposition not only failed to
elect any one of its nominees. but also
to develop any Support for its course
during the season of 1904
A good piece OF news was that IL is
the intention of the club to challenge
for the Perpetual Challenge cup, now
held by the Corinthians If the ChaI-
lenger should be beaten again an ef-
fort will be made to organize a syndi-
cate to build a boat that may prove
speedier.
