Getting in Trim for
Fasteners
Old Time Tennis Stars Timber
Up to Join Youngsters
at Del Monte
By Grant Smith

Now that the presence of three of
the eastern tennis cracks is assured,
the local tennis enthusiasts expect the
ments to outdo anything of the kind
ever held on the coast in the past. The
three cracks from the east who will
participate are Irving, Wright, Ma
thaniel Niles and Johnston. While they
do not class with players like Beals
Wright, Larned, Clothier and Alexan-
der, they head the second division and
will no doubt hold their. own at least
with the local champions
Irving Wright last year held the in
tercollegiate championship and Niles is
the present holder of that title. john
ston holds the interscholastic cham
pionship. The local topnotchers feel
confident that they can take the meas
to be seen. The visitors will no doubt
be Handicapped by having to play on
strange courts and they will find there
is a vast difference between turf and
asphalt courts. Whether they are pos
sessed Of sufficient skill to Offset this
handicap is a matter that the tourna-
ment will decide 1t is hard matter to
the local cracks have to believe that
they will beat the easterners is the fact
that the latter are not among the best
players in the country.
That there will be several ex-coaSt
champions in the various competitions
who held the title in the late nineties,
and who was the only local player to
beat any of the eastern champions dur
ing their visit to Del Monte in 1900,
will play in the doubles and mixed
doubles and possibly in the singles.

TWO GOLF EVENTS AHEAD
Local Players Schedule Inter-
esting Play for Next Month

While interest naturally centers in
the week Of golf which begins at Del
Monte tomorrow, the local players will
not go into retirement at the end of six
solid days OF competition Two impor-
tant events have been scheduled for the
local links, the first Of which has been
set for September 12 It will be a
u man team competition between the
Preside golf club Of San Francisco and
the Linda Vista golf club Of San Jose.
The latter organization is an old one,
but there has been lack OF interest
among its members OF late and the
course was rather neglected.
The Preside golfers 5ourneyed 70
san Jose two weeks ago, and in a Il
man interclub match were defeated by
the San Jose experts by score OF
each nine holes and one for the match.
This victory caused a revival OF inter
est and a return match has been ar
ranged for September u, to be played
on the Preside links. The defeat OF
the local experts came as surprise, as
a strong team was sent to San Jose
The visitors naturally were handi-
capped BY playing on a strange
course, which accounts in a = measure
for their defeat In the coming contest
however. the advantag will be with
them and they expect TO turn the tables
on the san Joseans-
A home and home contest between
the Preside and Menlo golf clubs is
scheduled for October 10 and "a. Each
club will be represented by u men. The
Srst is holes will be played over the
Menlo course on October 10 and the Sec
ond IS holes over the Preside links two
weeks later.
The last meeting OF the kind between
these two clubs resulted in q victory
for the Preside players. After unex-
peofedly establishing good lead In the
fref half OF the contest over the Pre-
side course the Aenlo players fell
Iowa in the second half and were
beaten on their own links.
Announcements have been sent out

Hardy is at present located at Mare
island and is practicing daily on the
courts at the navy yard. He will play
in the mixed doubles with Miss Hazel
Hotchkiss, the little Berkeley player,
who holds the state championship. This
will prove strong combination and
the crack mixed doubles teams from
the southern part of the state will find
them harder to beat than they have
any of the local teams in the past.
Hardy will probably join forces with
one of the eastern visitors who will be
without partner. The ex-coast cham
pion is playing as well. as he ever did,
perience little difficulty beating the
present day champions. 1t is not at all
probable, however, that Hardy will par
ticipate in the singles.
Charles Foley, who, two or three
years ago, occupied the position at
present held by Maurice Mclaughlin, is
out every morning at o'clock with
George James and the former holder of
numerous titles is rapidly getting back
into his old form. If he plays as we'll
as he did two or three years ago Foley
will be a hard man to beat
George James, flushed with his vic
tory in the tournament recently held
at Santa Barbara. feels that his sue
cess on that occasion warrants him in
the belief that he will again carry off
the honors. He beat the best on the
coast at that time, and If he can down
the fasteners he figures that the title
is his.
Clarence Griffon is another young
player with championship aspirations
Griffon is practtcing daily on the park
courts and is fast working off the sur
plus poundage. He will play with Fo-
ley in the doubles, and as they have
been beating James and Mclaughlin,
the coast CHAMPIONS, regularly since
they joined forces, they certainly fig
ure to have good chance of carrying
off the title Griffon has always been
particularly good doubles player and
he and Foley should do well together.
Coast Champion Mclaughlin is anx-
ious to regain the prestige he lost at
Santa Barbara when he was beaten by
James, and is consequently not letting
Loughlin, Carl Gardner and Melville
Long are out almost every day at the
California club courts and should be at
their best by the time the tournament
starts.
Louis Freeman and Alfonso Bell, the
doubles cups, will be seen in the
doubles tournament. While their
chances of scoring the third and last
win do not look particularly good on
account of the comparatively poor form
shown by both of late, they may sur
inclined to put them in the down and
out class.
The tournaments will commence at
Del Monte on September and continue
for two weeks, ending on September 10.
With the three players from the east
and all the talent from the bay counties
and the southern part of the state, in
cluding the Sutton sisters, the meeting
should prove an unequaled success.
A class singles tournament will be
today. Play will be confined to the
second, third and fourth classes. The
first class will not be played until after
the Del Monte tournament.

Sharp at 25 minutes past 5 the signal
to start was given, and before the
last blast on the whistle was sounded
the Frolic worked her foremast across
the line and was on her way. She
crossed on the port tack, which she
held but short distance, then went
about, joining the rest of the fleet on
the starboard tack. 1t was one of
the prettiest starts ever made in an
San Francisco. Within minutes and
SO seconds the IL yachts were tailed
as starting. The last seen of the fleet.

of speedy trip down the coast.

went to Tiburon while the Monsoon
came to her moorings at Sausalito.
Commodore Phillips later in the day
cruised to Santa Cruz, but IL was over
the steel rails of the railroad. 1t was
stated that the Monsoon turned back
because one Nelson, who had been
taken along as sailing master, had
given the seamen to understand that
the sea would get worse as they pro-
ceeded, and they all might join Davy

shipwreck at sea were too much for the
sailors of gentle breezes, and the yacht
was put about and headed for home.
