Big Smyfh Testimonial
Tomorrow Night

The followers of the fighting game,
as well as every member of the sport
ing fraternity who knew Bob Smyth
so well during the many years he
laboring among them, are looking for
ward with eager interest to the great
amateur boxing benefit to be rendered
as a testimonial TO his memory tomor-
row night at Dreamland rink. The
sale of seats has broken all records for
an event Of its character, and crowded
house viii greet the eight pairs of
scrappers when they are called upon to
show their speed.
AS preliminary to the great boxing
contests the local musicians union will
tender q grand open air contest at the
corner Of Post and Steiner streets be-
tween and S o'clock. The best musi-
clans in the city will make up the
band and varied program of popular
and classical melodies will hold the at
tentiOn of the crowd.
The l6 boxers who have been paired
off for the evenings hstic entertain
ment are working out daily at the
various clubs with which they are af-
hliated. Each was cautioned TO be In
fit form TO go the full route and this
warning apparently has had the de-
sired effect, for the boys are showing
plenty of speed.
Among the energetic workers for the
success Of the testimonial are Ben Selig,
the man who helped TO make Joe Cans
fore he lost his title TO Bat Nelson.
and Billy Jordan, the veteran an
nOuncer, without whose services no
boxing show would prove a success.
Both of them are on the job all the time
and viii figure as important officials on
the evening OF the fights.
Matt Harris. the popular Olympic club
referee, says that the boys must fight
every inch of the way. He will not lay
a hand on any of them while they are
wading in and clean breaks. with each
man protecting himself in the break
aways. will prevail throughout.
Great rivalry exists between all the
fighters and each seems to be very
jealous Of the others title. A cham
piOnship is at stake in half of the
eight bouts. so the fans can imagine
for themselves how the lads will tear
at each other when the bell rings.
The seats for the big show are on
sale at all the newspaper offices and by
all the prominent sporting men and
newspaper men in the city. A compe-
tent corps Of ushers, under the direction
of Frank Carroll. the popular Olympic
clubman. will be on hand to see that
everybody gets a good seat. The vaude-
Vile acts between the boxing bouts will
be well worth the price. and altogether
the show promises to be a memorable
one.

Mclaughlin and James
Win Championship
Defeat Long and Gardner i'm
Wen Played Sets on
Park Courts

The bay counties tennis champion
ship in doubles again changed hands
yesterday on the courts in Golden Gate
park when George James and Maurice
Mclaughlin, the challengers, won from.
Melville Long and Carl Gardner, the de-
tenders, after five close sets of tennis
had been played. The winners lost the
first two sets and then came back and
Won the next three. Play was close in
all of the five sets, but no extra games
We're required. At times there was
some remarkably brilliant playing, but
as a general thing the tennis was not
out of the ordinary.
Gardner and Long had defeated Nc
Loughlin and James repeatedly in prac-
tice and the majority of the large
crowd of enthusiasts present looked for
them to win the match. After the first
two sets had gone against Mclaughlin
and James there We're few who gave
them a chance with their opponents.
Long and Gardner were working we'll
game to defeat their opponents Theirs
was the careful game, and James and
Mclaughlin made the mistake of play
ing the same game.
Long and Gardner won the first two
games of the first set and the second
two went to Mclaughlin and James.
The former Went into the lead at AZ
and then took the set. GA. Again in
the second set Long and Gardner as
sumed an early lead and were never
headed They ran this set out by 6-3
score.
With two sets against them, Nc
Loughlin and James crossed over de-
termined to take at least one set and
they started right out after it, All
four players We're at their best in the
third set and the final outcome was in
doubt until the last point had been
won James and McLoughlin led at
20 and 3-1. but Long and Gardner
evened up matters at Al. The former
then put more speed on the balls and
the result was that they quickly ran
out the next two games and set
Speculation was rife at this stage of
proceedings as to which team would
win Mclaughlin and James won the
fourth set by GA score but in the
fifth set Long and Gardner showed no
signs of quitting. They ran the first
game out and the second and third
went to Mclaughlin and James. Then
with the score 40-15 against them
Gardner and Long showed that they
had considerable nerve by pulling up
to deuce and finally winning the game
The teams alternated in taking the
games until the score reached A and
then Mclaughlin and James won the
two succeeding games, which gave
them the set and match. The scores
