BY winning the preliminaries to the
national championship doubles tourna-

Bundy of Los Angeles gained the right

title. The match will be played on
the courts at Newport on the 22d of
this month. 1t is thought that the

Hackett and Alexander have perhaps
seen their best days on the courts as

apparently at their best as the present
time.

CATCHER WILL TURN PITCHER.

NEW YORK, August S-Roger
Bresnahan, catcher and manager of
the st. Louis National League base
ball team, was quoted today by his
friends as thinking seriously of going
back to pitching, if things fail to
break better for his staff of twirlers.
Bresnahah broke into the game as
pitcher for Washington, and it was
at Baltimore that McGraw turned him
into catcher.

CALIFORNIA TENNIS
CHAMPIONSHIP NEWS

SAN FRANCISCO, August 12.-The
annual state championship tennis tour
nament will be played this year on
the courts of the University of Cali
fornia. This was decided during the
week at meeting of the Pacific States
Lawn Tennis Association. The dates
have been set for the 4th, 25th, Goth
and 9th of this month. For some
weeks past there has been consider
able speculation as to where the event
would be contested The courts of
the Peninsula Hotel were first spoken
of, then the Park courts and those of
the California Tennis Club were sug-
gested
Just why the courts at Berkeley
were decided upon is hard to under
stand. 1t was perhaps because of the
fact that the California Club courts
could not accommodate many spec
tators, and as an admission is to be
charged for the matches the Berkeley
courts were the best available.
There would be little need for the
increased accommodations were it not
for the fact that Miss May Sutton and
Miss Hazel Hotchkiss will undoubted-
| ly meet again in this tournament Miss
Hotchkiss will be back from her
Northwestern trip by that time and
Miss Sutton has expressed her inten-
ton of being on hand to defend her
| title. This match is the best that
could be arranged on the local courts
and it is expected that a record break
ing crowd will be in attendance.
Though the accommodations at
Berkeley are quite spacious the com
mittee in charge of the tournament
evidently anticipates large gathering
and it is the present intention to en-
large the grandstand to twice its pres
ent capacity. This means that some
1000 or 5000 spectators can be com
fortably seated A week ago it seemed

SAILOR TELLS OF BATTLE WITH BOA CONSTRUCTOR IN JUN
 GLE OF AFRICA.
KILLS REPTILE WITH KNIFE
John Bates Believed to Be the Only Man Who Ever Escaped From the Coils of Such
 Snake.
By JAMESON r. MACY.

New York-When the tramp schooner Kittic S. limped into port few days ago afrer a rough voyage from Liverpool, sf,e had among her crew John Bates, d giant of six feet five. weighing s43 pounds stripped, who claims to be- the only man alive who ever was iE the coils of boa constructor and escaped death.
 Bates is 31 years old but he has been following the sea ever since he was 16 years old. His mates vouch for his veracity and farks on his face and body, they say, are proofs of the story he tells of the terrible battle he had with the huge snake.
 Born in Liverpool, Bates early formed a love for the sea and as small boy was employed on the docks. He grew rapidly and when only 16 years old his muscles were like steel.

l Got Hold of His Neck,

He had no trouble in becoming a sea man when his mother gave the con- sent which she had long withheld be- cause his father had lost his life on the ocean. Bates first ship was the Santa Teresa on which he sailed sev- eral years. Next he shipped on La Seville a French barkentine He re- mained with Capt. Mock, master of this vessel, two years and then he took to the tramp ships. It was while on voyage to Africa that Bates, whose great strength had made him a terror to sailors in their pay day brawls, and two companions decided to visit the interior.
 The story of the battle with the rep tile had to be drawn from Bates be- tween his drinks of grog because he modestly refrains from bragging about it.
