SPORTS Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head.
 Liner Classes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. - Clubs within clubs is an innovation which seems to be popular among southern California organizations which have to do with any form of athletics, it being necessary for candidates who wish to become members of the inner circle to be able to reach a certain prescribed standard of efficiency in the particular line of sport which the club fosters Those who favor the plan say 1t is an incentive for athletes to strive for higher standard of per formance.
 To become a member in good stand ing of the inner circle of "Skeeters" of the San Diego Rowing Club 1t is necessary for the aspirant to row 1.0S miles over a prescribed course within nine minutes and thirty sec onds. This is the only requirement necessary for admission. Of the en- tire club membership there are now about a score of "Skeeters" and the course is dotted every day with men break into the charmed circle. Those who are responsible for the idea point to this as an incentive for more and better rowing.
 The "Killiefishes" compose a simi- lar organization within the Los Ange- les Athletic Club, made up of swim mers. In order to be eligible as a "Killiefish" the seeker for the GOV eted distinction must be able to swim 50 yards in less than forty seconds.
 The "Killiefishes" in turn are di- vided into three classes. A, B and c. Class A includes those who can swim the distance within thirty-one seconds, Class B calls for thirty-five seconds or better, while Class c includes those who can cover the distance between thirty-five and forty seconds. No Class A or Class E man is allowed to rest secure in his position for, if he falls below the time mark in compe- tition he is relegated into lower di- vision again. Thus it is possible for a Class A and Class c man to change positions. Vance Veith, swimming in structors for the club, believes that this system will be of immense bene- fit in stimulating swimming and in creasing the standard
 Followers of tennis in the North west entertain high hopes that they have another embryonic court start, who will eventually take his place in the Pacific coast constellation Fifteen year old William White of Lewiston, Idaho, is the youngster White was competitor in the recent Inland Elm pire open tennis championship held at Spokane, and proved to be the fea- ture of the tournament. While he was eventually defeated by veterans in both the singles and doubles, his per formance was considered sensational.

Incidentally he set what is probably a record for a youngster in tour nament of the importance of the In- land Empire. He disposed of two op- ponents in the early rounds fin sue cession by love matches. In other words, he won twenty-four consecu- tive games.
 White has established a reputation for steadiness and ability to get the ball back. His accuracy has been de- scribed as "uncanny." According to H. L.. Cole. one of his victims. against whom he scored twelve of the twenty four consecutive games: 'T never before saw a player place the ball so accurately in my life. I don't believe he hit the ball out of bounds five times during the match. and he rare ly netted it."
 Needless to say, the career of this youngster is being watched with un- usual interest in the Northwest. He is a heady player, who constantly is endeavoring to improve his game and the prediction is made that in few years when he natures and attains his strength he will be seen striving for a place as a nationalist.
 An experiment will be tried out this year in connection with the harness events at the Montana State Fair, which will be held at Helena from September 25 to 30 inclusive. No en- trance fee will be charged those who intend to enter their horses. This is said to be a feature that has never be- fore been attempted at any harness meet, and it is expected to result in a heavy entry list, which. in turn, may bring to light new equine stars.
 While the purses are cut to some extent, it is said that under the new conditions the winner will receive more money than under the old sys- tenn, when the purses were from $200 to $500 larger. With no entrance fees charged and only four entries owned by different interests required to start in any event, and the purses di- vided three ways, 50, 25 and Is per cent, the winner will receive more money than under these conditions.
 Entries to the following events close September 2, with Secretary KlotZ: 2:35 trot, purse $500; 2:3O pace, purse $500: 2:25 trot, purse $500; 2:2O pace, purse $500; 2:15 trot, purse $500; free for all pace, purse $4O0.
 Five per cent of purse will be de- ducted from money winners. owners have the privilege of naming and start ing two horses in any event, but will be counted as one entry only while the horses still have the privilege of winning two monies.
 Lack of interest. due in large mea- sure to the fact that many prominent athletes are at the border with their various regiments, is given as the req ,o,, snr tho consolidation af the Pacific Northwestern Association track and field meet this year. Portland, Seat tie and Tacoma were. in turn, each offered the event, and it was success sively rejected. and no further effort will be made to run it off.

Postoffice Hints

When you hear the train whistle, rush to the office, storm around there half an hour when you notice the carrier just de- livers the mail.
 If you are a little short" ask your postmaster for small loan; he's always flush" and after two months if he wants it, let him dun you for it.
 When you call at the office for your mail and the postmaster hands it out, ask him if that is all.
 If you ask for mail and he tells you there is none, tell him there ought to be. then go home and send the rest of the family around at different times thru out the day.
 Don't bring your mail to the office until the mail closes, then abuse the postmaster for not opening the mail bag and putting your letter in.
 When you want stamp on your letter, tell the postmaster to put it on; if he won't do it, go for him. In case you put it on yourself, soak it in your mouth long enough to remove the muci- lage: it will then stick until dry.

Swamp Land Can Be Reclaimed

More than 75,0O0,O00 of the 100, 900, 900 acres of swamp lands in the United States can be re- claimed for agriculture, accord ing to the report of the commit tee on statistics and standards of the chamber of commerce of the United States, made public last week. A. ". Douglas, vice. president of the Simmons Hard ware Company, of St. Louis, is chairman of the committee.
 Statistica prepared by the com mittee show the vast acres of laud which could be made avail able, is about 72 per cent of the entire acreage of the country's present corn crop and twice the average acreage planted to corn.
 The cost of drainage, as deter mined by the committee. varies according to conditions and local ities. In Southeast Missouri it. ranges from $3 to $7 per acre. To this must be added the cost of clearing the land when tim bered. This costs all the way from SIP to $25 an acre The timber in many of the swamps is often very valuable. Espec- ially is this true of the cypress swamps of Louisiana, which re- pay the cost of clearing many times over.
 Once cleared, the swamp land IS worth from $50 per acre up- wards. The soil is generally of unusal fertility because most of the land is an alluvial deposit from some nearby waterway. It also IS usually aDunQant Tn nu- mus, due to centuries of decay ing vegetable matter. As it has naturally an abundance of mois- ture, it possesses all of the re- quisites of abounding yields.
 The chief fight in the recla- nation of the swamp lands is the eradication of the mosquito. This carrier of malaria prevented the French from making the Panama Camel possible, and the United States did not complete the great ditch until the mosqui- to had been eliminated from the canal zone.

MAY Be SETTLED

Thirty to forty cases which have
been made against dealers charging
violation of the law by selling cigar
cites to minors, may be settled with
out the necessity of jury trials. One
case up before the court for trial by
jury yesterday was declared mss
trial by agreement when it became
known that there was a strong posi-
bility that practically all cases could
and would be settled, which was taken
to mean that defendants stood ready
in great number of the cases to
enter plea of guilty rather than go
through a jury trial.
counsel for the dealers so accused
did not have a statement regarding
the possibility of settlement up to a
late hour, the question to come up for
final decision today.

WORKING AGAIN ON
A[CANK ST. SEWER

After making temporary, but need
ed, repairs on the Coyle street sewer
lead to the bay, the city engineer has
had the gang transferred back to the
Alcaniz street break, near st. Mich
aeps cemetery, and it was announced
yesterday that the gang of workmen
would be kept busy there until the
serious conditions which became
known few days since, could Z be
remedied.
1t was reported few days since
that the Alcaniz street sewer could
not be worked on until supply piping
could be secured. This was before it
was generally known that the lead
was of 20-inch instead of 24-inch as
reported. The city had supply of
20-inch piping on hand, but no 24-inch,
hence The announcement that work
would have to be suspended for the
present.
Several lengths of piping were
found to have been broken, and all
these, of course, are to be replaced.
This will necessitate the employment
of a large force of laborers, it is said,
as the excavation has to be made to a
great depth.

OPPONENTS OF NEW.
CHA RTER To HOLD.
MEETING MONDAY.

Application was made yesterday by
anti-charter voters for the use of the
city hall for Monday night next, and
the indications are that the discussion
which will take place there will be
thoroughly interesting. The letter,
asking for the use of the city build
ing, was received at the clerks office
and referred to Acting Mayor Pou.
The latter, after consulting with
Commissioner Johnson, dictated a let
ter, giving those who applied for the
use of the council chamber such au-
thcrity. At the same time permits
sion was also given those who favor
ed the charter, should the organiza-
ton of Home Rulers care to make
use of the building in discussion of
the proposition.
1t Ia understood that those who will
have charge of the meeting on Mon
day night will arrange for a number
of speakers, who viii ably present
every feature of the proposition as it
now stands before the people for
adoption or rejection. Names of sew
eral lawyers who have consented to
address the body, as we'll as citizens
who have some point TO make, have
been mentioned, and the meeting is
expected to take on very interesting
phase from the start.
II was stated yesterday that the
anti-organization has been growing of
late and that at the meeting of Mon
day night, there would be a strong
body formed with instructions to in
stitute campaign, with the object in
view of defeating the proposition.
