NO MILEAGE FOR OFFICERS
ON RETURN TRIPS HOME
Naval Officers Must Refund Sums
Received In Last Five Years.

Washington, June "a decision Of
the Treasury Department that the
Governments has no right to pay naval
officers or attaches mileage whel
they come home on leave of absence
has aroused a storm of disapproyal IN
naval circles. The department holds
that such orders are not for tie good
of the service but purely personal
matter with the officers whose travel
ing expenses must be borne by thttn-
selves.
The decision is regarded the more
serious from a naval point of view for
the reason that it is retroactive and al
officers who have received such mile
age within the last five years must re-
fund to the Government the amount
received.
The Navy Department, while pro-
testing against the order, takes the
view that it can be overcome by the
issue of another order, namely, order
irg a man home on waiting orders and
then granting h m leave

PRE- ACHERS ARE WINNERS IN
GAME WITH MERCHANTS
Beat the Other Bunch by a Score OF
Nine to Seven.

When His Umps." jim Walker, an
inveterate fan, gave the signal to
play ball on Dudley Field yesterday, a
rather heterogeneous aggregation Of
real and ni-players paced to the front,
while the audience of one hundred in
the grandstand applauded vigorously.
The battle royal had been advertis-
ed as the Preachers vs.. the Merchants,
and while the latter showed up in
form, the dominoes were represented
Hy Dr. Munhau and the Rev. Mr..
Davis only.
But they were gems of % carat bril-
liancy, and aided in winning the game
for the Preachers Party by score
of TO Z.
Dr.. Munhall was no SLOUGH at short,
while the twirlical accomplishments Of
Bro. Davis in the box caused the
shades of Millirons, Doc" Wilson and

mond, sent the spherical horsehfde

Rev. Bivins was detained at home by

Death of Lightweight Tommy

Improperly Padded Ring Blamed
for Fatal Accident, Not
Knockout Blow
NATIVE SON WAS POPULAR
tAssociated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-Gloom
hangs over pugilistic circles here as
result of last nights prize ring fatal
ity, when Tommy Mccarthy met death
in his bout with owen Moran the
Englishman. Even the arrival OF JACK
johnson and the excitement of a per-
sonal sizing up of the big negro failed
to lift the sporting fraternity out Oh
its depression.
The young man had not advanced far
enough to be rated among the lum-
inaries of the roped arena, so the SAD
ness of the sport followers was not due
to any sense Of loss, but to the very
general feeling that the occurrence
may have an effect on the whole hght
game in California, now practically lts
last stand.
Fans are recalling the dark spots of
pugilistic history here. 1t was in san
Francisco that Harry Tenny died from
his bout with Frank Neil four years
ago. The blow that put Mccarthy out
last night was identical with the
smash that caused the death of Jimmy
Franey in his fight with O'Connell ten
years ago. Later ring history holds
the death of Ginger" Williams, VINO
was knocked through the ropes in a
fight with kid" Kenneth at Coalinga
q few weeks ago. Williams skull was
fractured by striking plank. NO
legal penalties were inflicted as a re-
suit of these fatalities in the ring.
The physicians who attended McCar-
thy agreed that his fatal injury was
due to the impact of the skull against
the floor when he was Knocked out.
They say the blow itself was not fatal,
and experts blame an unpadded ring.
The ooroners inquest will be held May
s, and in the meantime Moran and the
others arrested in connection with the
fight are out on bail.
The affair has served to arouse
church and civic associations to re-
newed opposition to the Jeffries-John-
son fight and to the present laws gov
erning contests in this state. Appeals
will be sent to the governor and to the
district attorney of Alameda county,
where the king fight is to occur, to pre-
vent it If possible. It's immediate eff

SHOWS HE STILL CAN PUNCH
Associated Pressl

BEN LOMOND, April 9O.-Jeffries
returned to hard labor today after his
layom and before noon had accomp-
Iished a full days work. Up for an
early breakfast, he assisted the labor
ers on the dam until the repairs on it
were completed. He then entered the
gymnasium in working togs and plod-
ded through a series of exercises which
kept him busy for two hours.
AS was expected, the former cham
pion increased the amount of boxing,
going six rounds instead of his usual
four. He took on Berger for two
rounds and then boxed Armstrong for
the remaining four. His work showed
that his enforced rest of the past few
days had worked more harm than
good.
Jeffries was particularly rough with
Berger and after receiving a crush
ing blow on the neck the manager de-
clared that he no longer entertains any
doubt that his charge still has good
punch. The sparring with Armstrong
was tame, as he was considerably
more gentle with the big negro than he
had been with Berger.

NEW TENNIS COURTS
OPEN ABOVE CLOUDS

Tennis attracted followers of the
court game to the Mount Washington
hotel yesterday afternoon, when a CO.
terie of the eclat among the racquet
wielders of the southland sought the
cooling breezes of Mount Washington
for a practice tourney.
This practice tourney marks the
opening of the Mount Washington
courts. The enthusiast may now seek
refuge above the clouds when the
ocean breezes are inclined to work
overtime, or vice versa. There was a
little rustic of the air yesterday,
though, and it is probable that the
usual windbreaks will have to become
a feature of the new courts. Yester-
day, however was ideal for the game
and every player was in prime con-
dition.
The courts, there are two of them,
are among the best in the state They
are of cement rough finished, and such
is their position that one may look
upon sea or snow as he chases the
bounding rubber around the pavement.
Like the Venice courts, they are set
almost on a cliff and the ground falls
away. giving an impression of isOla-
tion to the player All the members
of Mount Washington's 'tryout' team
were enthusiastic over the situation
and the construction of the courts and
will be sure entrants in the tourna
ment which will be played off Satur
day, May 49, and Monday, Decoration
day.
The players in yesterdays test were
Sinsabaugh, Bundy, Mclaughlin, Hen
bricks, Way, Duncan Hopper, Browne,
Variel, Wayne and Dawson. Sinsa-
baugh and Mclaughlin We're in fine
forms and Simps underhand kills"
were an enlivening feature to the spec
tators. Mclaughlin played easily but
at times displayed his real strength in
the overhead game. Bundy was off his
game all the afternoon and made a
number of double faults and miscalcu
lations not in his usual schedule.
Browne was as strong as ever at
times, but was prone to drive to the
net.
The weather certainly was "about
right" but there seemed to be some
thing wrong with the playing element
Perhaps it was the ''practce" feeling
or the 'tennis tang" might have been
lacking. but the present champion
would have had an easy time of the
contests yesterday. Indeed, if the
dope artists" of the game were on
hand there is little doubt that Maces
chances have risen considerably.
Work practically is done on the
courts and the carpenters are now at
work on the grand stand. The seats
are so arranged that spectators cannot
interfere with the players and yet Il
perfect view of the court may be had.
Some of the leading tennis lights of
the state have signified their intention
of entering the coming tournament,
and although yesterdays practice was
a stag" affair. the women will be
well represented in the lists, Nc
Laughln will stay over for the meet,
but he probably will be the only nor
therner in the entry list. Arrange
ments are now being made for the
accommodation of the players and their
friends during the coming event and
everything looks booming for tennis
"among the clouds"
