FRISCO PLAYERS
COME FOR TITLE
HANDBALL CHAMPIONSHIP is
AT STAKE
INTER.cLUB MATCH SERIES BE-
GINS THIS AFTERNOON
Singles and Doubles Honors to Be
Contested at Los Angeles
Athletic Club
Courts

This afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the
handball court of the Los Angeles
Athletic club will be the scene of the
beginning of the coast handball cham
pionship contest between Al Hampton
and "NIigie'' Mcclure, representatives
of the Olympic club of San Francisco,
and Gordo Whelan and w. 2. Reynolds
of the Los Angeles Athletic club. The
winners of this contest will hold the
perpetual trophy cup, which is to be
put up Jointly by the local and the
northern clubs for one year, when an
other tournament, this time on the
Olympic club courts, will settle its
ownership for another twelve months.
Al Hampton and "Migie" Mcclure
will arrive this morning from the
northern metropolis. They will be ae-
companied by Il strong following OF
rooters, who, it is rumored, will back
their favorites off the board.
From the good form shown by Rey-
nolds recently it has been definitely
decided by the athletic club officials
that he shall be Champion Whelan's
running mate in the doubles this after
noon. Sunday Gordo Whelan will
mingle with "Migie'' Mcclure for the
coast championship in singles.
All members of the athletic club are
confidently looking forward to clean
sweep victory for their earnest coach
ings. Both Whelan and Reynolds have
practiced diligently during the week
and both are considered to be in the
best condition of their handball career.
1t is anticipated that the small seating
capacity of the gallery in the rear of
the handball court will not accommo-
date one tenth of those who will want
to witness the contest. From the pop
ularity of the game with the club
members the new home of the club,
which it is expected will soon be in
course of erection, should have hand
ball court for exhibition games with
seating capacity equal to Fiesta park,
and then some.

! him out of house and home via the
| free list. Some folks are mean enough
| to say that Jack should have let the
fellow alone, as. the liver served is
entirely too aged to be of any othef
use than to feed moochers.
Jimmy Coffroth arrived in New York
yesterday, and almost Immediately
afterward boarded tho Twentieth Cen
tury limited on his way to Frisco. He
will win $1,000 if he arrives at home
before midnight of next Tuesday, hay
ing bet that sum with Eugene Corri
of the National Sporting club in Lon
don that he would make the trip from
London to Frisco by midnight Of
Tuesday.
After Coffroth arrives at home it may
be possible for him to straighten out
the Nelson Wolgast tangle. If it de-
velops that Hester cannot handle the
fight Coffroth is apt to be the most
dangerous rival of McCarey in bidding
for the scrap. Coffroth would be plac-
ing himself in an embarrassing posi-
ton, however, by taking the fight off
the hands of Hester, as it would then
appear as if he was being favored by
those in authority at the expense Of
another citizen, who could not get
the same special privileges that were
accorded to Coffroth. For this reason
he may not meddle with the affair. but
nobody ever accused Sunny Jim of be-
ing bashful or too sensitive regarding
criticism or what other people thought
about him.
Mark Shaughnessy and Frank Flick
ert will please accept my thanks for
the fodder and the kindly expressions
accompanying the same. The little
present will come in handy many times,
it is to be hoped.
AL Rogers wants a match. He wants
to fight so very much that he will
stand aside and take on any other
scrapper that McCarey may select for
him. Rogers says his health will fail
him if he does not get somebody to
maui real soon. His manager, Charlie
Palmer, seems to be of the same
opinion.
Louis Wilson. the jockey who deVel-
oped into a sensation in 1901 at coast
tracks and later was signed up to ride
for Hildreth, has been reinstated, after
two years of idleness, following a rul-
ing by the Pacific Jockey club. Wilson
is too heavy to ride much.

American who is largely interested in
Mexican properties, won the first race

REALTO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

II NIDENTLY the officers of the law
IL in New York city do not care
"a much whether the Jeffries-John
son fight ever occurs, as an order was
made yesterday transferring the case
to a department of the court that in
sures a speedy trial for the black
1ghter on the charge of felonious as
sault. 1t will interfere with his theat-
rical tour, if it does not develop moro
seriously. An effort will be made to
show that Johnson had pistol in his
pocket when he began the rough house
and drew it and menaced his former
friend, after beating him up. If this
can be proved Johnson is apt to have
rough sailing in evading serious con-
sequences and the judgment of the
trial judge may make it unnecessary
for Rickard and Gleason to continue
their quarrel about the location of the
fight. 1t would be a shame, too, as
the white race wants that black cloud
removed from the title, and if Johnson
is unable to attend the festivities July
4 there will be nothing doing in this
line.
Billy CappelIe added new honors to
his ring record last night when he won
decision over Kid Cleveland, the
clever negro scrapper, in a 15-round
bout at San Pedro Reports of the fight
are, to the effect that Cappelle led in
every round, but only by a slight mar
gin Some of those who attended hold
to the opinion that a draw decision
would have been fairer to both boys.
Sailor Hanson won a six-round slug
ging match with Joe Silva, almost scor-
ing knockout but the gameness of
Silva enabled him to stick for the limit.
The curtain-raiSer was an enthuser,
too, as Young Pedro and Frank Hague
IA fought most exciting six-round
draw. A large crowd attended the
opening of the new club, and several
Los Angeles fans went down to attend
the event.
The White Sox schedule has been re-
arranged so as to include games at
Redondo and Long Beach, and it is
probable that several other games will
be played outside Los Angeles. More
than usual interest in the Sox has de-
Veloped this spring, and applications
for dates are far greater than there is
any hope of filling.
Jack Ripper is jealous hearted to a
fault. 1t is his nature, and when a
non buying individual stepped into his
cafe yesterday wearing an anti-meat
button and started to create a scar
city of liver in the vicinity of the lunch
counter Jack refused to be calm any
longer. and he booted the fellow out
of the place, with the injunction to
take down his sign and learn manners
relative to when it is time to buy
something before again trying to eat
