CANNOT SEE DAUGHTER.— Judge Coffey

Preston to see her daughter Hazel, by striking
the mother's application for such permission
from the calendar of his court. Mrs. Preston

A whining religion wins none, -n
avowedly racing machines, built solely
for speed. The Challenger, designed
by B. B. Crowninshield of Boston, who
designed the ninety-foot Independence
for T. H. Lawson, is a fin-keel boat 42
feet 6 inches over all, 26 feet on the
•water line, with a beam of 10 feet 4
inches amidships. The hull draws 2
feet 6 Inches and the fin brings, the
draft up to C\' s feet. She has a short
bowsprit of 3 feet 7 inches and carries
about 1000 square feet of canvas. She
was built by John Twigg & Sons and
won the cup by defeating the sloop
Harpoon, sailed by F. R. Cook.
The Corinthian, designed by W. S.
Burgess of Boston, is 56 feet over all,
24 feet on the water line and has 14 feet
6 inches beam. She has a draft of
only 2 feet 7 inches and a centerboard
with a drop of jibout 8 feet. The steal
body was constructed in the East and
the wooden skin covering it was built
by F. Stone & Co. F. Stone will sail
her, the crew being made up of J. C.
P>rickcll, X. McLean. J. Short, F. E.
Fchober and Douglas Erskine.
W. G. Morrow, owner of the Chal-
Icnper, will sail her and has the advan
tage of great familiarity with his boat.
Jt is thought the Challenger will do
l»est in a hard blow, but that the Cor
inthian may elip along faster in light
airs. The race will be unusually In
teresting, as being the first that has
occurred between two regular racing
machines In this bay.
Allen M. Clay has been Invited to act

The Tigers are more than holding
their own, and Mike Fisher is to be
congratulated In keeping his band to
gether, as he has succeeded In doing.
It looked all along as though the Tigers
were playing above their ability and
that they could not maintain such a
fast clip, but this theory has been dis
pelled since they got going and met and
beat the best of them, and decisively at
that. . .
Los Angeles seems to have developed
a faculty for hitting the ball as soon
as it arrived on northern soil. This
was the weak spot in the southern
team while it was playing here and
on the home grounds. The Angels have
really outslugged the mighty sluggers,
the Siwashes, on their own battle
ground, and If they can keep this up
there will be doings.
The Oakland team has not been play
ing its game for the last couple of
weeks. The players have not hit the
ball as hard as they are capable of do
ing, and their work on the bases has
been exceedingly slow at times. The
team has also developed the bad trait
of taking an aerial voyage In one.in
ning and remaining in the lofty height?
just long enough to allow the opposing
team to make enough runs to win the
game.
race for the coast baseball pennant. It
is one leader to-day and another to
morrow. If anything, the struggle for
supremacy has waxed more keen in the
last few days, and it seems another
fortnight will be required to tell which
team can rightly call the first place its
own.

C. W. Johnson has returned from

and reports the water as normal. Good
baskets are being secured and the fish
ing is improving steadily.
W. W. Richards writes from Big
Meadows that the water is still a trifle
high, but it is going down at the rate
of three inches per day. The fishing
is crood and is improving.
H. A. Greene of Monterey reports
that 2000 pounds of salmon were
taken in three days by professional
boatmen. The fish averaged about
eleven pounds. There are plenty of
sardines and anchovies in the bay.
While they remain the fishing will be
good.

The feature event at Union Coursing

speed, but now shows class. In the

In the match played last Sunday the
San Francisco County Club showed
that in spite of the loss of Kortlang,
the absence of Sloman and the trans
fer of Wilkes to the Pacific Club it still
has an eleven superior to any of the
teams. Though the Pacific captain tried
seven bowlers only pne San Francisco
batsman (W. W. Deering) was bowled.

bowling was mastered, and when Rich
ardson had scored 103 runs not out and

called, the score standing at 1S5 runs
for two wickets. Of the Pacific bowl
ers E. H. Wilkes was the only one who
captured a wicket, bowling sixty balls
for 22 runs. The others who tried their
hands with the ball were Dr. O. N.
Taylor, H. C. Casidy, H. D. Bowly, F.
Lewln, E. H. M. Lannowe and John
Myers.
The Pacific batsmen made no stand
at all against the San Francisco Coun
ty bowlers, Roberts taking six wickets
for 18 runs. Richardson three wickets
for 20 runs and Petersen one wicket for
2 runs. Eight of the batsmen were
clean bowled and two were caught. The

Baker; directors, J. F. Brady, Charles
J. Dunlap, George L. Baker. S. C. Gay
ness, N. H. Martin, R. N. Whitney and
J. M. Baker.
As a result " of the many one-sided
matches which have recently been
played in the class singles tournaments
it was decided to re-classify the play
ers. The standing as arranged fol
lows:
First class — W. C. Allen. N. Ambrose, George
L. Baker, A. H. Hrabant, C J. Dunlap. C
K. Foley, Carl Gardner, Clarence J. Griffin,
Herbert Long. J. Drummond MacGavln. K. N.
Whitney, F. IS*. Uaker untl Harry K. Routh.
Second class — F. C. Adam*, GeurjfC.K. Bates.
Jules F. Urady, James A. Code,
Clinch. Robert P. Drolla, E. P." Kinnegan, S.
C. Ciaynegu, Harold Gabriel. Miller Hotcliklss,

a. P. Lytton, C. B." AlcDuffy, H. Mann, K.
M. Otis, R. K. Parr. E. II. Twlgrgs, -W..-O.
Finch. O. Beyfuss and . F. Webster.
Of these Herbert Long and Clarence
Griffin are perhaps the besL They
are both young players who are im
proving rapidly and who have given
a good account of themselves in past
tournaments.
Percy Murdock and Will Allen will
probably be the strongest players en
tered in the tournament and in either
one of them Champion Grant Smith
would find a formidable opponent.
George Baker has not made up his
mind whether he will play or" not. If
he decides to take part he will be a
dangerous competitor.
William B. Collier Jr. .finds he will
not be able to spare the time to take
part.
Among the other players who will
compete are: George Janes, Herbert
Long, Melville Long, Clarence Griffin.
N." Ambrose, S. C. Gayness, Sidney
Salisbury, Carl Gardner, A. H. Bra
bant, C. G. Knehm, A. E. Beyfuss and
Merle Johnson.
