NOVEL TOURNEY
COMES TO END
Gardner, Rolfe and Schmidt
Carry Off Tennis Honors
in the Indoor Matches
BIG CROWD TURNS OUT
Singles Set Proves to Be
an Exciting Event, but
Doubles Is One Sided

Many interested spectators witness
ed the final match of the indoor tennis
tournament played at the Forest, Fish
and Game show last night. Carl
Gardner of the California Club carried
on the honors in singles, while Her
bertSchmidt and Harry Rolfe of the
same club won the doubles.
Of the two matches, the singles was
the closest and most interesting. Gar
dner'S reach was too much for George
James, his opponent. The latter found
1t almost impossible to pass the lengthy
expert. Gardner won in straight sets,
both of which were exceedingly close.
The score was 6-4, 81. The semi-final
match played on the California Club
courts in the afternoon resulted In a
victory for Gardner. He beat Rolfe
6-1, 6-3.
In doubles, Schmidt and Rolfe proved
much too strong for Charles Foley
and Charles Dunlap. The former were
lights and led at all tines. The score
in their favor was 6-3, Ga
The exhibition doubles match which
was originally set for Thursday night
will be played tonight at $3.50. The
contestants will be Dr. Summer Hardy
and DR.. McChesney and Percy Muir
dock and Grant Smith. Samuel Hardy
will be unable to play and his place
will be taken by McChesney.< None OF
the four experts have had any prac-
tice in the indoor court, but as they
all know the game we'll they will un-
doubtedly furnish an interesting match.
This match will conclude the indoor
tennis.

UNCLE ROUTED
IN THE SIXTH
Tigers Pounce on Offerings of Henley.
Commuters Make Fast Finish

OAKLAND, April II. = McCreedie' S
Mammoths from the Willamette were
subdued by Captain Rip Van Haltren
and his Pigmies in sensational strug-
gle IN the Idora Park diamond this
afternoon. The game was won by the
Oaklanders in the last half of the ninth
act when the White Stocking Giants
had downed two men Score 6 to s. 1t
was hustle raising finish and one
that was frantically relished by the
loyal fans who feasted their lamps
upon the game
Iberg f1oated up his dilatory teasers
to the big fellows from Portland and
the best they could do was to harvest
five singles and a three bagger from
his offerings. Ham astounded himself
and all present in the fifth spasm by
slamming his stick against the sphere
for three bags. He was unable to ex-
plain how he accomplished the feat and
vouchsafed no apology.
Buck Francks was the hero Of the
pinch occasion and it was his drive to
left center in the final inning that
made IL easy for Graham and Van
Haltren to prance to the plate with
the tallies that saved the day. An
cient Rip Van Haltren signalized his
return TO the game after taking a
weeks rest for an Osler complaint by
lambasting the leather in the opening
round for three corners. He passed
in on Kruger's out, Atz to Clark. Jimmy
Byrnes, who was also in the sick ward
last week, mauled the horsehide globe.
In the second he connected for q brace
of bags, was sacrificed to third by
Iberg and registered on Schlafley's slow
handling of Van Haltren's infield biff.
Iberg scored in the fifth on his swipe
for three sacks and sacrifice by
Kruger. With two men benched in the
ninth Captain Van Haltren ordered
Graham to WELD the bat for Iberg.
Oscar started an easy one toward Run
kle, who fon6led the pellet until 1t
was too late to capture Graham at
first Veteran Van then propelled one
along the ground half way between
first and second, which Clark headed
off, but was unable to ret back to
the bag with it before Old Rip slid
in. Then came Buck Francks and the
globe was pounded out to left center.
Graham and Van Haltren scoring and
terminating the frenzy.
Portland secured its first run in the
third frame. Van Buren soaked safely,
purloined the keystone sack and saun-
tered home on Jurist McCreedie's s
three base swat. In the eighth Clark
hit by third. French bunted and Iberg
picked up the sphere, turned and slam
med it 10 second. There was no one
there to greet the ball and it went to
center, Clark scoring. Van Buren
was presented with a walk and was
forced by Mercedes poke to Kelly.
Larry Schalfley then laced one across
the third sack, sending in French and
McCreedie.
King played left to-day in place of
Dunleavy, who was indisposed. Score:

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Mike Fisher steered his bunch OF
Tigers to the Eighth-street lot yester-
day afternoon and before they got
through with Uncle's tribe the latter
looked like a rank bush league lay
out The slaughter that came off in
the sixth spasm was awful. 1t did
not er till the Tigers had enticed
three runs through and then all was
over. Score-San Francisco, L; Ia
coma. 6.
The Seals managed 10 crowd all
their bad baseball into that one round,
while the Tigers were there with the
best they had during the same period,
so the result can be imagined by any
fan who was not on the spot. The
six tallies were the result of five hits,
though a couple of misplays and a
very close decision which went against
the native team helped some.
Doyle opened up the pot of trouble
in that fatal sixth when he copped
off q dinkey hit. Bill Thomas bunted
to Nealon and Flash winged the ball
many feet wide to second. Then Nor
dyke swung through with a hit and so
did Eagan, Casey and Mclaughlin.
When the Tigers got that first run
over they were desperate and crazy
for more, so they did not hesitate till
they had completed a good job.
The whole San Francisco team
seemed to follow young Henley in his
excursion into the heavens when the
big rally was coming off. Up to that
time Henley was pitching a nice game
of ball and he seemed to have the In
dian sign over the head of each Tiger.
But the rally was too many for him
and he was not there when it hap
pened
The Seals did not send man
through till the eighth spasm, when
couple of bingles and a long fly put
Spencer past the wire. Fitzgerald had
everything when men were on bases.
Many times the Seals could have
broke in with runs, but the little old
hit was never forthcoming when need
ed most.
Umpire Gus KIopf bowed his first
bow to the fans. He did not make
good yesterday, though he hardly had
an even break, as he was hit on the
side Of the face with thrown ball
before the game and badly hurt. He
got into a mix-up with Tommy Shee-
han when the battle was but a few
moments old, so the little fellow was
forced to take to the bench and come
through with a five-spot.
Uncle announced yesterday that he
would give Ferguson, the st. Mary's
College pitcher, a chance to shine to-
morrow afternoon. Ferguson made a
great record in the bush league as
well as in college and those who know
say he will make good. The score:
