Dugan Will Meet Greatest
Riders in England

Within the next few weeks the Cali
fornia Jockey z. Duaan, one OF the
foremost and ablest riders on the
American turf. will sail for England to
joint the Whitney stable, under charge
of A. j. Joyner. at Newmarket.
Speculation as to what chances the
best American horses will have against
the best English horses during the
coming season has been frequently in
duIged in by many American race
goers. and these followers of the sport
are now asking one another. What
chance will Eddie Dugan, reputed to
be one of the best American Jockeys.
have against the many crack jockeys
to whom he will be opposed?'
To say nothing of the American.
Danny Maher. who is admitted TO be
the best in Great Britain. Dugan will
be called upon TO meet 3. Dillon, w.

lent records
But one lad who, because OF his youth
ana somewhat similar style TO OuSdn.
will probably meet the letter very
often in races. is Frank Leonard Woot-
ton, a 16 year old son of an Australian
trainer, now in England, TO whom the
boy is under apprenticeship. Wootton
could ride as light as 81 pounds during
the season just passed. in which he
had a remarkably successful year. He
won 129 out of COL mounts.
Recently Wootton's father declined
an offer of $4,000 for first call on the
lads services, he declaring that such
an arrangement would prevent the boy
from being free to cross over to France
for special occasions. which would
mean unusually large fees, whether he
won or not. He expects his boy to
earn $4,000 this year. 1t was a fre
quent spectacle TO see Wootton, the
Australian. and Maher, the American.

quently just doing" the other on the
winning post.
With the arrival of Dugan at New
market Jack Joyner will be called upon
wise thing to at once put up the new
conner in important races to be ridden
against scores of the best jockeys in
Great Britain. All the English race
courses will be new TO Dugau. and it
is not to be expected. horsemen say
that he can at once hold his own until
he has had experience.
Pending this, JOyner will be able TO
Secufe Danny Maher for some races.
it is thought. Maher was for several
years under Joyner's charge in this
country, and he went from his stable
to that of the late Pierre Lorillard in
England, since which important step
some years ago the Hartford lad has
earned at least $400. 900. which is
moderate estimate. The same good for
if he attends as faithfully to business
as has Maher.

COAST RECOGNIZED
TN NATIONAL
TENNIS
California Players Hereafter
May Play i'm Eastern
Tournaments
By Grant Smith

Sumner Hardy. president of the Pa
cific States lawn tennis association
is in receipt of letter from Harry
Wardner, which says that at a meet
ing of the national association, held
February u. the Pacific coast was
given fourth place and the winners of
the coast doubles will. in future, be
eligible TO compete in the national
doubles. The other three divisions are
the eastern. western and southern, the
winners of which have always made
up the field in the national doubles
This announcement is of great i'm
portance to players on this coast. 1t
means that they have at last been
given recognition by the national as
sociation and the local cracks will in
future be factors in national tennis.
The national doubles will be held this
year on the courts of the Onwentsea
club, about 80 miles north of Chicago.
They will be held about August 10.
The western championship will be held
about August / in Chicago. The ma
tionaI singles, as usual will be held
at Newport at the end of August.
The coast championship doubles will
be held on the courts of the Hotel Vir-
ginia a Long Beach from July 1 to
A. These courts are the equal of any
are beautiful, the cracks from this part
of the state will have a pleasant time
around the 4th of July, when they
journey to the southern part of the
state to fight for "a chance to play in
the national doubles.
The fact that the coast champions
this year will get trip east will make
the cracks give more attention to
doubles than they have in the past
With the inducements offered a num-
ber of good doubles teams shonld be
developed in the next few months
The California tennis club will hold
a handicap singles tournament today
and tomorrow. Nearly all of the ac-
tive members of the club have already
affixed their signatures to the entry
list and while Gardner, Long and Nc
Lougillin are out of town and will not
participate, the tournament should
prove interesting.
The Coronado tournament which has
been in progress during the week hard
ly came up to expectations as far as
the mems events are concerned. The
only player in the singles with any
pretension to class outside of the three
cracks from this city was Simpson
Sinsabaugh, who hardly classes with
men like Long, Mclaughlin and Card
ner One of the three could hardly
help winning the event and meeting
Champion Bundy in the challenge
match.
Whatever was lacking In the way of
class in the mems events was made up
for in the womens. The presence of
the Sutton sisters, Mrs. Farquahar and
Miss Hazel HotchlSiss WAS all that was
necessary to make the tournament all
that could be desired. A stronger
field than this could not be got to-
gether even in the east.
