FINE PLAY OF

AT DEL MONTE

DEL MONTE. Sept. 6.— The singles
championship tournament between the
■ and Atlantic tennis magnates Is
at an end. Out of sixteen matches played
the Westwnerß have captured two, hoth
by the skillful playing of Sumnor Hardy,
who demonstrated his ability to-day In
no mean fashion. After a gruelling
m.a'ch played yesterday afternoon with
Whitman, the champion of the United
B, he forced Dwight Davis, who
ranks second on the list of fennis top
notehers, to extend his prowess In a five
set match. Sumner Hardy has proved
his right to be classed with tho best the
country has produced, and nothing but
praise for hi? clever racket play is heard
nr Del Monte to-night.
Davle, although topped by Whitman in
Eastern championship tournaments, is
a harder man for the Westerners In *<?n
--iils strife than Is the champion hin.self.
Iliß Btyle of play Is different from any
thing to which they are accustomed. He
is a veritable Trojan, ever on the war
path, and always looking for subjects of
slaughter. His terrific smashing and mer
ciless drives won his matches from the
Pacific Coast men before the game had
fairly started.
But It was different In the case of Sum
ner Hardy. This was the last contest of
the day and the sole real struggle of the
tournament. Previous to thfs match
Hardy had disposed of Ward and Wright,
the two lesser lights of the Eastern ten
nis firraami'iit. It was predicted by all
that the battle would be well worth poc-
ti p and the court on w..ich It was played
i\a.-= crowded when game was called.
Sumiur Hardy begun his play with all
srve he has demonstrated in the
Pacific Coast tournament. In rapid suc

Maid of the Hill, a brindle and white
greyhound from the kennel of T. Sullivan,
defeated James Dean's Gallant in the re
serve stake at Union Coursing Park yes- i
terday. The Maid led up and secured the

the young dogs, and is just getting his ed
ucation in coursing.
The sport was of high class, the dogs
being evenly matched. As an evidence of
this there were four "undecideds. 1 The

FOUR MEN MISSING.
There are a couple of mysterious dis
appearances on the water front. A pris
oner on the German warship Geier is gone,
and with him went a small boat belonging
to the Union Iron Works. Bill Spear, a
boatman, and two passengers whom he
look out on <.he bay last Monday night in
Jack Hurley's boat are also missing and
nu trace of men or boat can be found.
The German sailoi had been court-mar
tial. (1 and confined in the brig. He got out
of his prison and made his escape in the
dingy used by the workmen of the iron
works. Neither man nor boat can be
found, and the supposition is that the
eailor sunk the boat after making his es
cape. No attempt is being made to re
capture the man, but the Union people
would like to recover the boat.
Last Monday night Bill Spear, accom
panied by a soldier and a one-legged man,
but in an app< arance at the clay street
eteps. They were all under the influence
of lkiuor. and Spear asked for the loan of
Hurley's boat. He was at first refused.
He final] v secured the Whitehall and he
and his .two companions got in and rowed
away. Neither boat nor men have been
seen since. Hurley seems to think that
the three men are at Sausalito carousing,
but if they do not turn up to-day a search
party will be organized.
Advances made on furniture and pianos, with
or without removal. J.NooaaD, IW7-1023 Mission.

SNAP SHOTS AT THE TENNIS EXPERTS.
NILGAR FIRST
FOR THE DEWEY
SELLING STAKE
Daymont Captures the 2:17 Class
Special Trot After an Excit
ing Brush.
St.-cial Dispatch to The Call.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 6.— Business is
picking up in the weather line, and before I
the week passes the mercury In the ther- i
mometer bids fa ir to bump the top of the
glass. The grand stand this afternoon at
Agricultural Park was well filled with the
fair sex, attired in stunning Bummer suit
ings, and in the rin^r the bookies experi
enced the liveliest betting session of the j
meet. There was little growling over the j
prices laid, and the books finished in the ;
"place," the crowd displaying rare form In
landing on the winner.
In the harness events John A, the brown
son of Wayland W, enjoyed a walkover, j
and Lottie captured the -:I'l class trot im
pr< ssively. Two days' work in succession, '
however, was asking too much ol Mamie
Riley, for she lost the ".special" to Day
mont. '
Diminutive Midlove, favorite for the
Dewey selling stake, tound the route too
far, the prize falling to Nilgar. Cromwell,
the sizzimg choke tor the mile-and-a-six
teenth run, was led out by New Moon,
and in the windup round Manzanilla and
Mafada were headed over the line by i'an
amint, Thorpe riding one of his best lin
tshes.
After John A had made a trip around
the elliptic for the 2:20 class pacing stake
the eight starters in the 2:'sz trot were
called. After hr-r Impressive victory at
Oakland Lottie looked to be "Hawkins'
horse," and Bold a 10 to 6 favorite over her
field. Colonel X X, over which Billy Jon
athan held the ribbons, had a respectable
following, and alth"iigh the Colonel did
not win he put his foot down In a way
that commanded respect. The necessary
three heats to draw the long end of the
purs.- were r«el<-d off without effort by the
favorite, Spencer handling her to perfec
tion. Dora Doe, which annexed second
money, stepped three nice heats, and in
the tiiird. Colonel X R, finishing second,
seemed to be getting just warmed up to
his work.
The special trot for horses eligible to
the 2:17 class had bettors guessing before
it was over. For the first heat the books
marked up 4 to 5 on Mamie Riley and 6 to
."> on Daymont, this pair looking to be the
most eligible. Charley Bunch, the "Beau
Brummel of the Hike," came out wearing
a wise 4x4 smile behind Dr. Frasse, a 4 to 1
choice, and led from wire to wire in 2:18.
Daymont went high into the air at the
llrst turn, and Mamie Riley stubbed her
toe soon after passing the half, linishing
fourth.
The betting now became nervous and
fretful. Mamie Riley was held at 6 to 5,
with even money chalked against Day
mont and Dr. Frasse. In this heat Mamie
Riley was on her good behavior, and pass
ing the Doctor in the stretch she won
easily. Daymont once more made a bal
loon ascension at the turn.
The heat winner was now made an over
whelming choice. When the horses ap
peared for the second heat "HI" Hogo
boom had replaced his brother behind
Daymont, and with encouraging results.
In the drive from the head of the stretch
home Daymont outfooted both Mamie
and the Doctor, taking the heat without
effort by a couple of lengths.
The Doctor shot his bolt, and with Ma
mie Riley displaying signals of distress
Daymont looked a good thing for the
fourth heat. Closing favorite, he broke
at the turn and seemed out of it. At the
far turn, though, Mamie Riley left her
feft. allowing Daymont to get up and
eventually win In a jog. Dr. Frasse fin
ished second, securing second money.
The thoroughbreds now went to the bat.
Only three started for the Dewey selling
stake at a mile. Midlove closing favorite
ever Nilgar and Jennie Reid. The talent
figured that the first choice and Nilgar
would chase away in front, after which
the Burn entry would come on and win.
but it did not so happen. Midlove sailed
away In the lead, opening up several
lengths oT daylight, with Ward on Nilgar
taking matters easy. At the stretch the
leader was all out, and Nilgar assuming
c mmand disposed of Jennie Reid with
little to spare. The books laid up little
coin, as Joe Terry and his friends spread
their coin about on the winner.
Cromwell had been passed around all
day as the, real thing for the mile and a
sixteenth selling run, which caused him
to be set up an even-money chance. The
chestnut ran a good race after his long
rest, but was headed from start to finish
by the S to 1 shot New Moon, well rated
by young Mounce. Fortis met with his
usual streak of bad luck, making a game
effort from the far rear and finishing a
close third.
Nine platers went to the post In the final
number, a six furlong sprint, decided un
der selling conditions. Manzanilla. Ma
fada and Panamint nil came in for heavy
hacking, the first named closing a slight
favorite. After being cut off on the back
stretch Thorpe, astride Panamint, hooked
up with Mafada and Manzanilln the last
furlong, and In a very exciting drive was
first by a neck. Mafada downing the fa
vorite a short head for the place.

SHAMROCK WILL TRY
HER NEW SAILS TODAY
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.— The expected
trial of the Shamrock under bigger rig
did not take place to-day, partly owing
to the arrivnl of the new tender, the
Plymouth, and partly to a breeze which
, Sir Thomas Lipton thought was a bit too
' stiff for the test which he had in mind.
To-morrow will probably witness the
trial. Consideration for his men was an
other factor which served to delay the
| trial under racing rlf?. The crew of the
■ Shamrock had been quartered on the
Nonowantuc, a vessel which Sir Thomas
J discovered was too small for their com
! fort. He accordingly chartered the pro
i peller Plymouth, a vessel larpre enough
ito accommodate 1000 passengers. The
I'lvmouth arrived from Boston early to
day, and proceeding to the Horseshoe
tied Up to the Nonowantuc. The Sham
i rock's crew was then told to move into
' Its more commr.dious quarters, and dur
ln'ff the forenoon the sailors were kept
busy shifting belongings and establishing

STAR POINTER
DETHRONED AS
PACING KING
Game Old Joe Patchen Wins a
Magnificent Race at the Em
pire City Track.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
NEW YORK, Sept fi.— Fifteen thou
sand enthusiastic spectators were at the
Empire City trotting track to-day to see
the grreai race between the pacers Star
Poii •• i. .Jim- Patchen, John R. Gentry and
Searchlight. The grandstand was crowded
to the guards, the lawn was black with
people and In the Infield there were hun
dreds <>f v. ■hides. In the betting ring
there was a surging crowd only too anx
ious to bet 100 to 3Q on Star Point* r
against the field, until poolselllng was
stopped by the local authorities— which,
however, did not interfere with the books
and backers were .still able to put on
their money. When McCleary appeared
behind Star Pointer he received a rous
ing cheer, !>ut when Joe Patchen, with
ills old lctmiliar white nose and face,
came up the stretch the applause was
still louder, and when the haniisoine little
bay Stallion, John K. Gentry, turned into
the stretch the whole grandstand arose
and applauded.
Searchlight, the great son of Dark
Night, who Is looked upon as the coming
champion, was brought to the Judges'
stand and it was announced that he was
not in racing condition and would not
be a starter.
Three times they came down for the
word, but each tune the starter realized
that they were not exactly on their
stride. At the fourth attempt they came
down like a triple team, and when the
word "Go" was given Pointer at once
started out to win the heat. It was soon
snt-n that Joe Patchen was in racing con
dition, und he hur.g on to the favorite's
wheel wiih the grim determination of a
veteran who never knows when to stop.
Around tlu< back stretch the conflict was
close and exciting, and the public almost
lost Bight "f John K. Gentry, as he was
several lengths behind. Around the top
turn Star Pointer appeared to gam, but
it was simply an optical delusion, and
when the mighty pair swung into the
Btretch it was apparent to everybody that
they were about to see one of the most
magnificent races of the century.
On they came, Star Pointer on his cour
agi- and Joe Patchen d'-siring to beat his
old and mighty antagonist; but try as he
would he could not <iuite get there, Star
Pointer landing a winner by a neck in
Joe Patchen and Star Pointer were both
together, with John R. Gentry about a
length back, when the word was given in
the second beat, and the positions re
mained practically unchanged to the quar
ter, where Patchen assumed the lead and
held it to the wire in spite of the deter
mined effort of McCTeary, who was driv
ing Star Pointer. Patchen won by a
length, with Gentry several lengths in
the rear. Time. 2:02? 4 . This was the fast
est mil<' paced in a race this season.
There was now a rush to cover among
the spectators, who recognized that the
old-time pacing king was to be dethroned,
and they made no mistake. As soon as
the word was given Joe Patchen started
out to complete his victory, and he did it
in a most effectual manner. Star Pointer
broke so badly that he was distanced, and
John R. Gentry was utterly unable to
compete with the horse that he beat at
Rochester and which beat him at Goshen.
The time of the last heat was 2:O4Vi- It
was announced that Star Pointer would
never race again.
The regular programme began with the
2:22 trotting class, for which there were
eight starters, and Senator L was plunged
upon as the favorite at 100 to 40 for the
field. It was simply a runaway race, as
Senator 1., won In straignt heats with four
or five lengths to spare.
In the 2:10 mile dash for trotters the
gray gelding Success was the favorite at
even money, but the bay gelding Alvos,
owned by Xathan btraibs and driven by
Thompson, took the lead at the half and
came home a very easy winner in 2:O9Mt.
The 2:14 trottlnsr class wound up the
days sport. In a field of twelve the black
mare Rubber was the favorite, and she
never gave her backers any cause to
worry, as she simply walked away from
her field, winning in 2:10)4. Results:
