PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE.

L
The signature of the governor of
Tennessee is regarded as certain Tor
the Adams prohibition bill, which mas
been passed by both branches OF the
ton of more than 100000, will be
the largest prohibition state IN the
Union. Kansas is second, with 1900
900, Maine and North Dakota ioliow-
ing in the order named. Inc no
number some 100000 inhabitants.
So conspicuous a victory for the
prohibition cause in the south may
cause surprise at a time when YER
mont has Just adopted a local option
act and when in Maine there is a
strong demand for resubmission of the
original amendment But the south is,
in fact, the stronghold Of practlcal
though not political prohibition,
many votes in the south, yet the $1,20O
license fee in Florida, the S3O0-$1, 900
fee of Georgia, and the $6OO-$1,2OO
fee of Mississippi amount 70 many
rural counties to practical prohibition:

FAST PLAY SEEN
IN SEMI-FINALS
Tennis Players Do Some Good
Work in the Fight for
Championship.

Two good matches of tennis were
seen yesterday afternoon at the Bere+
tania Tennis Clubs courts in the semi-
finals of the championship tournament
for mems doubles. In the first match,
in which Castle and Cooke defeated
Brock and Williamson by a score of
81, ga, the game was interesting all
through and particularly in the last
set. The first set had been rather easy
FOR the sugar house combination and
they had taken the first five games
of the second set, when Brock and
Williamson suddenly took a brace.
They began to play real tennis and
ran the score to 5-4. They were
within a point of winning another
game, which would have meant a
deuce set, but could not carry it
through.
In the second match steady hard
tennis was seen. Bockus and Grey were
always alert and took advantage of
the mistakes made by their opponents,
finally winning by the score of 6-3, 6-4a
Grey made some returns which would
be judged impossible under ordinary
circumstances, while Bockus' partic-
ularly strong point was in his service.
He had twist which his opponents
could not fathom and won each game
which he served in both sets. Nc
Keever and Greenfield drove into the
net too many times to win. They
hardly played up to the standard
which they have set up to this time.
The finals will be played this after
noon at Ais on the courts of the Pa
cif1c Tennis club and should attract
every lover of tennis in the city. It
is even betting as to which combina-
ton should win, and, while possibly
Castle and Cooke have little the
advantage, they will have to play ten
mis- if they come out ahead. The
match will be for the best three sets
out of five.

RUFF TURNER IS DEFEATED

SAN DIEGO, August 1.-two thou
sand fight fans, the largest crowd in
the history of the sport in this city,
saw a gruelling match of eleven rounds
in the Jack C1ifford-Rufe Turner bout
here tonight. The fight was of the
biff-bang variety throughout, Clifford
having the best of it in nearly every
round. In the eleven rounds of fight
ing Turner was knocked down five
times. He was up promptly each time,
however, coming right back for more.
AT the close of the eleventh round
Clifford planted a hard right swing
on Turner's jaw. The old-timer went
down like a log, and would have been
counted out but for the gong. His Sec
onds dragged him to his corner and
had him ready for the opening of the
twelfth round. When he stepped to
the center and put up his hands, he
discovered that his jaw had been brok-
en-, and told his seconds that he could
not go on. The club physician was
called and, after an examination, stop
ped the fight, announcing that, Turner's
jawbone had been broken.

TRIP To JAPAN
SEEMS CERTAIN
Count lnouye Is Ready to
Guarantee Expenses of
Local Men.

1t seems practically certain that a
baseball team, composed largely OF
members of the St. Louis aggregation,
viii go to Japan this fall to take
part in games against the fastest teams
in the Island Empire. The details of
the plan are to be arranged by Count
K. Inouye who passed through here on
the Nippon Maru yesterday. Mr.. Ino-
uye holds among other positions that
of director of the Togo Kisen Kaisha
and will make all the arrangements for
transportation through that company
himself. He stated yesterday, as he
was ABOUT to leave, that as soon as
he had settled the business which he
had ON hand, which, as stated in yes
terday mornings Advertiser, is com
bination of the Armstrong; ickers com
panies with japanese concern, he
would look into the baseball matter.
He is graduate of Keio University,
which has, simply through baseball,
become an extreme rival of the Waseda
University. Inouye wishes to see a
team from these ISLANDS go to Japan
and clean up the ball players of the
Waseda University. He states that he
viii guarantee all the expenses of the
trip and that there will be no diff
Guilty whatever in arranging the mat
ter The ball games in Toxic attract
as many as $4,000 people who pay
twenty-five cents American money for
admission. The expenses of the trip
are expected to amount to about $4,000.
In regard to the makeup of the team
there seems to be desire on the part
of the local Japanese to have the Ha-
waiian nine composed partly of Ha-
waiian-born Japanese. This PROPOSE
ton would cause more or less friction,
as there are no japanese players in
the city who would be eligible, through
fast playing, to leave here on an ex-
hibition tour. The strongest team which
can be found here would be the one
to be sent, regardless of nationality.
The members of the st. Louis team
are enthusiastic over the proposition
and almost to a man are anxious to
go. There will be many offers from
all the best players in the league to
fill in the team in case there are any
vacancies. 1t is expected that fourteen
men will make the trip.

STUDY FOOTBALL
FOR STANF ORD
Two Experts Returning From
Trip to Watch Teams
in Colonies.

Among the passengers on board the
Aorangi which came in yesterday af-
ternoon and left early this morning.
were G. Presley and I. flanagan, bothI
football men Of Stanford University.
They were sent to Australia and New
Zealand by the University Athletic
Association to pick up ideas in regard,
to Rugby football, which has BEEN
taken up by the California colleges I'M
the past two years.
The game is virtually unknown fn
the United States and there are few
men in California who have seen fiIst7
class teams play. The two footbalI
experts were sent to see what ideas
they could pick up. In speaking of
the trip yesterday Mr.. Presley said:
1--WE saw some of the finest teams in
the world play Rugby while we werel
away. AIMING these was the famous
team of New Zealand, the All-Blacks,
who made a trip to England and de1
feated everything in sight, two years,
ago. Those men know how to play
football. We were sent down to get
ideas and so steal little march on
our old rival, the University of Calf
fornia.
1T believe that we learned great
deal on the trip, that will be of great
use to the Stanford eleven and that our
time was by no means wasted. When
we come to put the ideas which we
picked up into practise il will tell this
definitely

Mooheaus and Hilos, and the directors
of the league viii meet to decide
whether it shall be two out of three

Merely as a matter of record, and
incidental to the scores already given,
it may be as well to mention that the

SQUIRES TO
FIGHT AGAIN

Bill Squires, the Australian champion,
is back from the wilds of Humboldt
and has taken up his quarters again
at Billy Shannon IS condition camp near
San Rafael.
Squires was visited by Jack McNa-
mara of Toms Cabin. Mcnamara is
an intimate friend of Bookmaker Jack
Wren, who sent Squires to this coun-
try, and also of Barney Reynolds, who
came here with Squires. Mcnamara
had quite talk with the Antipodean
heavyweight, and as a result Squires
has decided to enter the ring again
and endeavor to show San Francisco
fight patrons that he is not as poor a
performer as his showing with Tom
my Burns would suggest.
Since his quick defeat by Burns,
Squires hasn't been sulking in his tent
exactly, but he has displayed an in
clination to avoid his newly made
friends on this side of the Pacific. It
is one thing to leave your native land
with the best of the experts there pro-
nouneing you a world-beater in your
line and something entirely different to
run against defeat in the first half
minute of the first fight you engage in
away from home.
1t was the disgust engendered by the
sudden dashing of his hopes that caused
Sqnires to hike away TO Humboldt and
bury himself in a lumber camp. He
might have been there yet, only that
fog is prevalent in Humboldt just at
present. and if there is anything
q Boshter Bill'' detests it is the chill
white mist that sweeps in from the
sea.
Bill is warm weather fend, and
so far the climate of San Rafael is the
best he has happened on in this part
of the world.
When Squires learned that the sports
of San Francisco considered it but fair
that he should be given chance to
redeem himself he sat up and began
to take notice of Mcnamara IS con-
versation. He agreed to box any
heavyweight selected by Jim Coffroth
before the open air season at the Mis-
sion street arena closes. Coffroth says
he will look around for suitable OPP
ponent for Squires, and will arrange
the match for some afternoon late In
September or early in October.
1t Is probable that the winner of
the Schreck- Kaufman contest viii be
given the chance to box Squires. The
Australian SAYS he is not particular
who be meets. He simply wants to
prove that he is not the duffer' that
an unkind fate has so far made him
out to be.
