GOLF AND TENNIS STAR
ATTRACTIONS At BEACH
Journeys Arranged for the Near
Future Promise Plenty of
Sport for Followers

Tennis and golf have been leading
features OF the Virginia during the
last two weeks, as the golf season is
just opening and the tennis courts are
full of aSpirantS for court honorS, VINO
are putting in some steady practice for
the August tournaments. The N1r-
ginia Country club links have been put
into splendid shape for the summer
schedule and a golf tournament will
be scheduled during the latter part OF
the summer.
The tennis tournament is attracting
the major portion of the local tennis
world to that portion of the tennis
world, and a number of the cracks
have made the hotel their station in
readiness for the opening of the August
tournament. Some of the best players
will be absent from the coming event,
but there will be enough to give the
affair a tennis tang and the fans some
exhibitions of a high class. Ward
Dawson, second only to Tom Bundy
among the crack players of the south,
has been practicing daily for the big
event, and Win Mace, the present
champion, has made the beach town
his summer home to keep the court
warm with some strenuous chasing
after the rubber.
Nat Browne is playing the game of
MS lie LLlS season anu Will give Law
son hard run for the 1910 tournament
pickings. Browne is the hoodoo of the
younger players and possesses an as
sortment of strokes that work havoc
with the youngsters defense. That
the race will be between these two
players is acknowledged by all, but
the champion Of 1910 will have to OBJ
tain a victory over Win Mace, the last
year winner, and if Mace is in any
kind of form that victory will be hard
earned, and after the clouds have
rolled away there may be the same
title holder after all.
Sinsabaugh and Browne are picked
for the doubles championship, but may
have trouble with disposing of the
Braly- Duncan duo. The latter pair
pressed the Pacific coast champions,
Bundy and Hendrick, to a gruelling
five-set match and are a steady pair
who may be counted on for the best
kind of work all the time.
In the women's event, if May Sutton
decides to go into the tourney there
will be little trouble in doping out the
result, but there will be a number of
good matches among the other contes-
tants, and the entry list promises an
army of new talent that none of the
other seasons events can boast The
Virginia tourney will be the last of the
big tennis events in Southern Califor-
MIA and will be a real one from start
to finish. With an entry list the
largest of them all and with ideal con-
ditions there is no trouble about sue
cessful result and the fans are slated
for the tennis time of their lives.

WATER POLO TEAM
HAS GOOD RECORD
Y. M. C. A. Aggregation, Cham
pionS of Southern California,
Is Made Up of Stars
THINK WELL OF NEW COACH
Trainer Dawson Has Developed
Remarkable Swimmers Who
Hold Many Records
THINK WELL OF NEW COACH

The Young Mems Christian associa-
tion water polo team has just finished
a great seasons work and the associa-
ton is congratulating itself on the pos
session of such an able aggregation of
representatives,. Not only has the
bunch proved a star combination in
team work, but individually the men
have established records that many of
the eastern crews cannot boast, and
three have set worlds marks in the
aquatic game.
To Trainer Dawson the men credit
their success, and his untiring efforts
in building up a team have given the
game a boost in Southern California
the like of which it has never known.
Dawson comes from the Boston Young
Mems Christian association, where he
was engaged in a SIMILAR capacity and
where he met with the same success
as among the local camps. His pleas
ing personality has made the swim
ming pool of the local association an
attractive spot for the younger swim
mers who are just beginning to paddle
their way into deep water, and the
older squad are loyal to him in body
Marcus Lee, the forward of the
water polo team, established the world s
interscholastic record in the furlong
swim at the championship tournament
at Venice some weeks ago ana Also
holds the Southern California marks in
that event. the quarter mile and half
mile. Lee is a natural swimmer and
uses the same form of stroke that the
world champion Daniels employs. He
is at home in any style of the fish
game and can perform the gamut OF
the list of stunts on the water pro-
gram.
Tom Hewlett, the other forward of
the polo squad, holds the interscholas-
tic record for the quarter mile swim,
and is second only to Lee in the swim
ming game Harrell Harrell, guard of
the Y. M. C. A. champions, holds the
half mile interscholastic record and is
one of the best amateur divers in the
west. These three have done wonders
in the swimming game among the
Southern California aquatic experts
and will be sure winners in the Pacific
coast championships to be held in Sep
tember.

LEACH WILL SAIL NEW
SANTA BARBARA YACHT
Crack Skipper Promises to Be
Home for Regatta Off
Channel City
Especial to The HERALD

SANTA BARBARA, July 19.-Don
Leach, Santa Barbara boat-builder and
skipper, will return after long alb
sence in Manzanillo, Mexico, to sail
the new thirty-eig eight-foot sloop now
building for the Santa Barbara yacht
club in the big race meet of Southern
California yachtsmen to be held mere
August Is to 20.
This news was received today by
Vice Commodore John B. Edwards In
a letter from Leach, to whom EDWARDS
had telegraphed asking him to come
and act as skipper for the new racer.
Leach is one OF the cleverest yachts
men on the Pacific coast, and before
this city had q sloop to enter In the
races his services were in demand by
owners of visiting yachts. With Leach
at the helm the new boat Will STAND
q doubly good chance of passing the
stakeboat ahead OF her older but more
famous competitors of the South Coast
club.
Owners of the new yacht that is to
carry the citys colors are against a
hard proposition of choosing name
for her. If she were owned by only
one yachtsman the problem would be
easy and the boat would bear the
given name of some particularly
charming young woman. But the
SXnQlCdI6
they have asked Mrs. Clinton b. Hale
to choose a name. The sloop is to be
launched at San Pedro within few
DAYS and will be sailed from there to
Santa Barbara She will have crew
of three men, including the skipper
The Santa Barbara yacht will be
entered in class Q, which takes in all
the boats having length on the water
line of twenty-five feet or under. Her
length will be between twenty-four
and twenty-five feet on the water line
and thirty-eight feet over all. She will
be equipped with a mainsail, j1b, bal
loon jib and spinnaker.
In the same class are the Venus,
Wasp and Mischief, whose race proved
to be the most exciting of all In the
regatta here two years ago. The
Wasp will be sailed this year by Skip
per Fritz Whitney, generally acknowl-
edged to be the best sailor of the
South Coast club.
A. Lester Best, chairman of the re-
gatta committee of the South Coast
club, will arrive from Los Angeles this
evening to talk over the plans for the
regatta with the committee of the
Santa Barbara club, who will meet
him at the train.
]. d. Lowsley of the local regatta
committee reported the bright outlook
for the August meet in the channel.
He stated that the local clubs yacht
now building at a cost of $2500 would
be ready by August 1. The regatta
opens August 10. The railroad has
allowed a rate of enc and one-third
fare for the round trip for Southern
California points and also reduced
rates from the north, covering both
the regatta and the golf tournament,
which opens earlier

FANS WILL TURN
TO VERNON ARENA
Boxing Prohibited Local Follow
ers May Be Continued in
Suburban Fight Shed
NO OPPOSITION TO PASTIME
Trustees of Little City Believe in
Sport-M MCCarey Praised
for Record

Good night to the Maud Junction
fight shed. The old arena, where SO
many classy battles have been fought
in the past few. years, will soon be
turned into an iron foundry or some
thing of the kind, and in year or
two the fans will begin to forget 1t
ever existed. This will all be brought
about when City Attorney Hewitt
acting under instructions from the
council, drafts an ordinance prohibit
Ing sparring bouts in Los Angeles. and
passes it back to It's sponsors to be
put on the list of "donts' provided for
daily use.
This action Of the municipal authori-
ties will serve to make business better
for the street railway corporations, for
so long as he complies with the state
law regarding boxing bouts and the
Vernon trustees are not averse TO
helping their treasury out with the
license fee charged for each show
Promoter McCarey can go right along
and dish up high-class fistlc entertain
ment for the thousands who enjoy
bouts. Many fans have been seen
walking to and from Maud Junction
to uptown centers but the roads are
rather long out Vernon way, and a
corresponding increase in the Hunting
ton bankroll will be In order
Jeffries Athletic club property in Yer
non few months ago. 1t is probable
he did not realize what very wise
move he was making. The local pro-
moter's only idea at that time was to
find a spot where ne could pull OFT
real championship contests of the
25 and As round variety. The arena
south, for it Is here that all bouts in
fi,fiira Touef ba sfapad
1t is highly improbable the trustees
of Vernon will enact any legislation to
prevent the arena being used for the
purpose for which 1t was built. The
suburban village is ruled by men who
take a friendly interest in all forms
of real sport, and there are plenty OF
residents in the little town to boost
the game along and plug for its life.
To followers of boxing the action of
the city council in stopping bouts
within the city limits Is no reflection
on the way the sport has been con-
Quoted here. Manager McCarey has
been particularly fortunate and care
full in his choice of entertainers, and
events of recent years have been free
from the stigma which has attached
itself to the squared circle in other
parts of the country.
Just what bout will open the game
in it's new permanent home has not
been decided by Pacific Athletic club
officials The Webster Keller mill,
which was to have held the boards at
Maud Junction in August will prob
ably be moved over TO Vernon, with
the same conditions as to rounds and
weights originally agreed on. 1t is not
thought McCarey will care to go be-
yond the ten-round limit at present,
for the "anti'' wave sweeping over the
country might go so far as to affect
the next legislature and cause a state
law against bouts of any kind. So the
fans need expect nothing but the
shorter contests, which have held sway
within the city limits, at least until
after the legislature is lined up and
forced to declare for or against
boxing.
