COLLEGE GIRLS TO
HOLD SERIES OF
TENNIS
Handsome Trophy to Be Pre-
scented Best Individual Player
at End of Season

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Jan. "a
Intercollegiate tennis matches will be
held by the women players of Stanford
with the University of California and
Mills college of Oakland this year. The
season will be opened within a few
weeks and according to the announced
plans of the girls VIII be one of the
most active. To bring out the best
players in college a handsome silver
trophy cup, donated by the merchants
of Palo Alto, will be awarded to the
best individual player.
The first tournament of the season
will be started within a few weeks, at
which time the women hope to have a
competent coach to aid them.
Manager stewart has confirmed the
dates given out for the ''Wallabies !"
game and the cardinals will go into
training within week. The fields are
in a wet condition now, which will de-
lay the task of putting them in shape,
but it is expected this can be accom-
plished in good time Manager Stew
art is still in doubt as to what will be
the outcome of the proposed trip to the
antipodes due to the fact that he has
not heard from the Australian players
as soon as he expected. The men are
anxious to make the trip, though a
vote has not been taken.
Stanford will probably not have an
opportunity to meet the famous White
Sox" ball players. The manager of the
famous Chicago nine has set such a
high guarantee it is not deemed posi-
Bile that the local management will
schedule a game; The other matches
of the season will be played as sched-
uled. The first will be held with St.
Mary's college of Oakland January 80.
The first tennis tournament Of the
season among the men of the univer-
sity will be started next Saturday.
The tennis club players are anxious to
a
season and have made arrangements
whereby crack players of the San
Francisco clubs will come down and
coach Several varsity men of past
teams are again registered and the
prospects are good
The heavy rains have prevented both
baseball and track men from doing
any training in the past week, but it is
expected that the season will be in full
swing before another week is past.

Local Wrestlers Meets Jap
on Mat Tonight


Great interest is being manifested In
the iiu jitsu match at Dreamland rink
this evening between George Braun,
the former Olympic club champion
weller weight wrestler, and Shosha
Yokoyama husky Japanese exponent
of the art. who is rated as q very clev-
er performer. The men met on the
mat several weeks ago and their bout
was declared draw. Since then both
have been sclamoring for return
match Each has a large following
and lively roofing is looked for when
they spring at each other.
Yokoyama win have it on his Amer
lean opponent by about 80 pounds, but
this. does not seem to bother Braun,
who has been used to going against
big men on the mat. Braun is one of
the very few local wrestlers who ever
made good at jiu jitsu and thus far
every man he has met, with the excep-
ton of Yokoyama, proved easy game
In addition to the jiu jitsu contest
there will be catch as catch can wres-
fling bouts between NJ Gulbenlx the
terrible Turk" and Kid Norris Peter
Baskuas and Ed Sampson and Young
Hackenschmidt and Jack Keith. Four
clever Japanese bamboo sword experts
will give an exhibition of their skill as
curtain raiser. Women will be ad
nsitted freeSto the show.

A COUNCIL CUP
TOURNEY
Eight Expert Players VIII Enter
San Francisco Club Event

Ingleside course next week. Tomorrow

over is holes will be played. The first
round will be played Tuesday. the semi
finals Wednesday and the finals Thurs
day.
The eight players turning in the best
scores on Monday will qualify for the
match play. AS there will probably be
only eight entrants the qualifying
round will be run off merely to de-
termine which players will oppose each
other in the first round. Next weeks
event will be the fifth of a series of
tournaments for this trophy, which has
been won twice by Mrs. j. r. Clark
and once each by Miss Edith Cheese
brough and Miss Florence Ives.
Those who have already entered and
will no doubt make up the field are
Mrs. Shiels, Miss i. Carroll, Mrs J.
Leroy Nickel, Mrs. Lund, Miss Hager,
Miss Edith Chesebrough, Miss Florence
Ives and Mrs. Porter.
Mrs Nickel has donated a cup for
putting contest, which must be won
twice to become the permanent prop
erty of any player The first event, in
which each contestant Will have to
hole out three balls, will be played on
the links of the San Francisco golf
and country club tomorrow. The play
er turning in the lowest score will have
the distinction of having her name en-
graved on the trophy first
The first tournament of the Northern
California women golfers association
will be held February 10 over the
Ingleside course. 1t will be an 18 hole
handicap medal play event. The sec
ond event will be held at the Preside
on March % and the third event at
Claremont some time in May. The
month of April will be skipped for the
reason that the California women golf
ers association will hold their annual
championship evect during that month
In Los Angeles.
The first half of home and home
contest will be played on February 6, at
Claremont. The opposing forces will
be fifteen players from the Claremont
the San Francisco golf and country
club. The second half of the contest
over 15 holes will be played on the links
at Ingleside.
pick of the Preside and San Francisco
clubs in a home and home contest, the
fact that each club will be represented
by fifteen players instead of eight will
give the local cracks an excellent
chance. In team match of eight piay-
ers the transbay players would surely
win, but with fifteen players on a side
the outcome would be much more un-
certain.
The monthly medal play tournament
of the San Francisco golf and country
club will be played on January 80. on
| the same date the monthly medal play
lplayom Will also be played. The event
should prove unusually interesting be-
cause of the fact that it will bring to-
gether the winners of the medal play
events held last year.

Night Racing to Be Tried on
San Jose Saucer

The indoor race meet held at the
auditorium at San Jose last Sunday did
not prove as much of a success as was
expected, and there is considerable
doubt as regards the game in the Gar
den City. A night meeting will be
held in the near future, but il not at
tended by better success than the meet
ings already held The track will be
taken up.
The failure of the enterprise to date
seems to be due more to the track
than to lack of enthusiasm The
banks are too low and the riders can
not hit IL up at ALL Unless the man
agement sees nit to improve the banks
IL will have to call the sport Off surely.
There is considerable talk of moving
the old pavilion track to a large tract

ers could take the turns at any clip.
There is also talk OF moving this
track to Idora park.

Would-Be Justices and Notaries Sending
 In Their Money.

Several candidates for justice of the peace and applicants for not arial commissions appear to be under the impression George w. Donaghey is governor of Arkansas and have been sending him their applications for commissions. In the case of the justices, the ap- pliCations are from candidates who were elected at the recent gener- al election, but for some cause fail ed to qualify, and in order to secure their offices they must obtain com missions from the governor. Gov ernor Pindall has made about IS such appointments.
 The application for al appoint ment of this character must be ac- companied by SI for the issuance of the commission.
 MT. Donaghey has received sev- eral of these applications with inclosures, all of which he turns over to Governor Pindall The fee of an applicant for a notarial commission must be accompanied by S, and three of these were sent to MT. Donaghey.
