Hard Luck For
Visiting Yachts
At San Diego
Little Trifby Wins Upton Cup;
Mischief III Disqualified;
Skidd00 i'm Accident

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6.-The Linton
cup will remain in San Diego. little
Trilby having scored second victory
In today's race, result, however, that
would be more satisfactory to the local
yachtsmen had it not been attended
with exceptionally hard luck for the
South Coast visiting yachts, Mischief
II being disqualified for fouling Crotch
en- and Skiddoo parting its port throat
haiyards just as 1t was in q command
ing position and had good chance to
win.
The starting gun was fired at /
O'Clock and Trilby and Mischief went
over the line neck and neck. the others
following close behind. The Yachts
were soon we'll scattered over the
ocean. Then came the first mishan az
the day, when the launch Mckinley
fouled Mischief II. It was decided as
result, that unless Mischief II should
win the race should be sailed over.
This became unnecessary, as Mischief
II later disqualified herself, as already
stated. AS the yachts neared the turn
ing mark near the kelp Trilby and Mis-
chief III had luffing match, with bare
ly enough room for another boat be-
tween Trilby's stern and the stake. Into
ing a foul, turned and broke out a
spinnaker for the run home Trilby
and Mischief III followed and the three
were running almost side by side when
they met the Gretchen coming up The
latter's deck was raked by the Mis-
chiefs boom and there was bad mix
up. Mischief II got clear. but it was a
hopeless foul and it was disqualified.
1t was then that Skiddoo met with it's
mishap and the race was left for the
Aeolus and Trilby.
On the second round the Aeolus was
overhauling the Trilby when the final
mishap of the day occurred, the Aeoius
breaking the starboard spreader on her
mast and being compelled to drop can
vas and anchor. Tribly came home after
the third turn an easy winner without
time allowance. Columbine was her
nearest competitor. The Trilby's actual
time for the IL miles was 2:2s:59 and
her corrected time 2:23:24. Columbine's
corrected time, 2:36:16.

Miller Flattens Wilson In
The Second Round


Charley Miller did not even have q
warmup gallop when he went against
big Jim Wilson in the main event of
the Dreamland clubs show last even
ing. Wilson managed to stall the
storm of the first round, but. in the
second. after Miller had fioored him
with a hard right to the head. the
police interfered and the mill was
stopped. Wilson never had a chance.
Though Eddie Dennis. the Olympic
club bantam champion, was billed to
appear, even up to the last minute, he
was not on the job and the promoters
offered some sort of a weak excuse
which nobody fell for. George Smith
took his place in the fight with Jim
Lucey and the latter had an easy time
winning three round decision. Eddie
Campi was far too classy for Jack
Goldberg and got away with three
round decision.
Walter Scott, the fast Mission club
boy. beat Frank Ere in three rounds
Jack McGovern outpointed Lew Daley
In the third, Bill Robinson got the de-
cision over Bill Duncan in the third.
Joe Truman knocked out Joe Leonard
in two rounds and Jimmy Melvin I'm
ished Jack Patrick in the second. Joe
Greggains did not appear. much to the
disgust of the big crowd.

NEW YORK, Aug. Elm the New
York state lawn tennis championship
tourney at Bay Ridge today Raymond
B. Little defeated Melville H. Long,
Pacific coast champion, for the place
in the final round of the singles, GO,
Ga, 81. Little played his best.
Rarely had the former internationalist
demonstrated the winning quality of
his short drop stroke game so COM
pletely. On the cross shots and straight
ones Long got his racket to the ball
with the expectation of its rising a
few inches. Its failure to do so caused
him to net and send it out so often
that Little had the match well in hand
all the way.
BY the time that Long had raced
through nine sets he was fully CONVEX
SAINT with the difference between the
asphalt courts of California and the
turf of the Crescent athletic club at
Bay Ridge. In contesting this lawn
tennis Marathon he also learned the
lesson that the shooting drop stroke
ball of the eastern cracks will not
rise to any height of bound upon the
grass playing surface. 1t took Long
the better part of So games. which was
his amazing portion of the days play,
TO realize and acknowledge this.
The play in the doubles produced
three good matches and one unfinished
seminal In the latter, Long and the
Mexican. Harvey NJ. MacQuiston, final
~ got their bearings and were playing
the two former internationalists, Karl
H Bertrand Raymond d. Little, to a
standstill when the setting sun over
the Staten island hills saved them
from defeat, with the score at rs,
IS and 10-S in favor of the pair
from the west.
Before beginning this contest Long
and MacQuiston had gained their place
in the fifth round by defeating their
teammates from the Pacific coast

MacQuiston then took the level stretch
OF turf on the gallery court facing
Little and Behr. The latter, by stiff vol
leying, ran through the first set easily at
go. They led on the second up to
5-3, when things began to happen.
Both Long and MacQuiston began to
lobb continuously and to smash returns

ri WANT a voidable car" wrote
correspondent from Tulare to

passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific, "open at both ends, so as / can

The new freight tariff publication
bureau under the charge of Fred
Eomph, whose headquarters are in the
city, has been permanently established,
and the organization is assuming shape.
This bureau will arrange for the legal
publication and printing OF the freight
tariffs, naming rates between the ter
ritories embraced west of Ogden, AL
buquerque and Ell Paso and will be a
large and important bureau for the
railroads. as well as for the business
public, resulting in uniform rules.
rates and regulations in the vast ter
ritory mentioned.
What will interest the businessmen
particularly is that hereafter the
freight tariffs applying on this traffic
will not, as heretofore, he distributed
free by the railway companies. but will
be sold by the bureau at a nominal
price.
The law requires that at designated
public places, along the lines of the
railways. their legally published tariffs
shall be displayed for public informa-
ton, but the law does not require that
any supply of these tariffs be furnished
to individuals for their personal use.
For some years it has been apparent to
the railroads that the cost of printing
these tariffs is getting to be of larger
consequence, and that they must, in
some way, avoid these increasing ex-
penses.
1t is therefore deemed fair that those
who wish the convenience of tariffs for
their own use should at least pay the
cost of printing and distributing them.
The public will be better served and re-
ceive the publications more regularly
than heretofore.
1t will be found that this procedure
will be followed generally in other
localities.
The fall colonist rates to California
will become effective September Is, and
will be in existence till October Is. The
rates will be as follows over Southern
Pacific lines: From Sioux City $685.,
Council Bluffs SIS, Omaha $25. st. Jo-
seph $25. Kansas City SIS, Leavenworth
s25, Denver $25, Houston $25. st. Louis

Berkeley Rugby Schedule
Being Arranged

Graduate Manager Ralph Merritt Of
the University of California reports
that large schedule of games for the
coming Rugby season has already been
arranged. The schedule is not yet
complete, several open dates having
still to be filed in. Games have been
arranged for the freshman teams as
well as the varsity.
The Olympic and Barbarian teams
are scheduled to meet both the fresh
men and varsity squads, and it is prob
able the Reliance club of Oakland,
which is now organizing a Rugby Is,
will also be given games.
A strong team will make the annual
trip from Vancouver under the aus
pices of the Vancouver Rugby union,
and the usual series of games will be
played with both California and Stan
ford universities.
Cedric Cert, captain elect of the
University of California team, arrived
in Berkeley early in the week, and has
been in conference with Coach Schaef-
fer, going over the points picked up by
the California coach on his tour of
Australia and New Zealand.

North Enders
Are Ready to

Meet ManteH on the Night

The men behind the North End club

tee of $500 for his bit to fight Frank

he sent to the Illinois Thunderbolt this
morning, and if he does not change his
mind in the meantime the match Is
made.
This is the best looking card that
Manc ger John c. Desmond has in view.
Papke's recent showing with Ketchel
surely entities him to another match
with the middle weight champion, and
il he comes out here and beats MaynteH
handily it will sort of pave the way
for this looked for meeting. This is one
reason why Papke should be pretty
good card again.
Papke beat Mantell in round about
a year and a half ago in Boston, but
since then the then Inundated fighter
has been showing a lot of speed. His
best fight was with Jack fTwin) Sui
Ivan in Sacramento on July 5, and he
cleverly outpointed the willy twin after
20 rounds of lively going. Mantell is
now under the wing OF Sam Fitzpat-
rick, one of the best managers the
game has ever known, and Sam thinks
the boy is a conner.
There may be a dispute as to the
weight Louis Blot, who is represent
ing Papke here, says that he does not
believe the ThunderboIt will do 15S
pounds for Mantell. This matter should
be settled before Papke is brought out
here, in order to avoid complications.
Now that the Mission club has COM
pleted its card Manager Sid Hester is
getting ready to boom his show all
along the line. On paper the attrac-
ton looks to be the best one that has
been pulled off In the city in many

hook up in Oakland next Wednesday
evening. According to the articles the
winner is to get crack at Cove, who
is willing to fight for his training ex-
penses, just to show the local fans that
he is a champion.

WILLIAMS IS WRONG
Civic Leagues Charge OF ReCks
less Expenditure of School
Funds Not Proved
Finance Committee Counted on
Bond Premiums to Make
Up Deficiency

Winfield S. Williams. president OF the
Civic league. appeared yesterday before
the finance committee OF the super
visors to present his charge as to the
reckless expenditure OF school funds.
While the discussion was still unfin-
ished. Williams took advantage OF a
temporary intermission to leave the
room, and did not return He learned
before he left, how ever. that in making
his charge that the board exceeded
the original estimate on schools BY
100000. he had failed to allow for
the outstanding premium on unsold
bonds, which will cover the 50 called
deficit.
Il am here representing the tax
payers of San Francisco" Williams an
nounced. in introducing himself, for
the Civic league is clearing house.

clubs"

of spending this money that we count
on premiums from future sales and
visor Murphy asked after the premium
matter was explained.
You have no right to bank on fu-
lures Williams answered. You ought
to keep to the original estimates"
In building the Bellevue hotel you
met with unexpected contingencies,
didn't your Murphy asked.
Williams was architect and engineer
in this project for the Woodruff con-
struction company, which Is now in
VOWED in a lawsuit with the Barron
estate. The original estimate OF $780,
600 was more than doubled in the
building.
The dispute. which was heated, lasted
over an hour. The facts, sifted out.
are these:
The board admitted that ii had spent
s17s,000 over the estimate prepared In
March a year ago by the city engineer
and architect. but replied that this es-
innate was prepared roughly and was
not intended more than TO give an
idea as to the amount Of bonds needed
The charge that appraisers sold land
to the city was denied by the commit
tee and was not pressed by Williams
His specific charges fell through IN
every case, although he disputed the
wisdom of the expenditures
