The prospect for the game of lacrosse
Is not bright just now. Up to the present
time it has been found impossible to har
monize the factions In San Mateo and to
organize a team there, though many good
players live in oK near the town. Of the
four clubs— the San Francisco, the Olym
pic, the San Mateo and Talagoo— which
formed the California Lacrosse Associa
tion at the beginning of the season only
the two first named remain. An attempt
w»s to have been made last week to re
organize the Talagoos and create a third
club to contend for the championship of
the association, but none of the executive
comraltteemen reached San Mateo on. the
evening appointed, and consequently
nothing was accomplished.
So far as can be seen at present the se
ries of matches for j the 1933 championship
of the association will reduce- Itself to a
du«l between the San Francisco and
Olympic teams. Great rivalry "exists be
tween these clubs, each being eager for
the honor of playing against the Sham
rocks of Montreal or the Capitals of Ot
tawa, whichever, of these two '-„ crack
Canadian teams visits San Francisco this
jear. Both teams have arranged to , play
a. series of matches on 7 the' Pacific Coast,
and It Is probable ' both will visit San
Francisco.

.The popularity of Scottish bowling ia
ever on the increase, and. the green at the
park is full to overflowing every Saturday
afternoon. The experts have been en
gaged in a singles tournament for sev
eral 'weeks and will finish ' the event be
fore-ihe summer is over. An- Interesting
and novel tournament will be commenced
this afternoon. It will be a singles for
players 70 years of age or over. Y. C.
Lawson has :,dgnated a handsome sliver
trophy for the event, 'and. the six players
entered will surely do their best to annex
the cup. Those who are^ellglble and have
entered are Samuel Irving. J. Duncan. A.
McDonald, G. C. Patterson, Andrew Fore
man "and William Watson. These six
players areas clever as any in the club,
an«l some excellent bowling is antici
pated. It will: be a. round-robin affair.
After the piayers have all met the three
lowest will drop out. * The' three remain
ing -players will again meet in a round
robin, and the ; lowest ,will . drop out. This
will narrow the competition down to two
players, who will meet .in, the finals .for

She took a number of prizes at the
Bulldog Show in England "and -at
Streatham and Sandy." At one show she
was awarded the. special for the. best
bodied tiog in the show, beating - ai
other breeds In this competition. She
is in whelp to Lord Burley* which has
beaten every dog-, in England. Included
In his list of victories is one. over the
dog for which George Gould pain $5000.
the coast has just been made by Fred
J. Rodger?, who arrived from England
pome days since with the bulldog, Girt
ford Goody, noted for her great physi
cal beauty — as beauty goes in that
breed. While she touches a high stand
ard in all that g-oes to make up a per
fect bulldog, she is particularly strong
In the body. She is pronounced the
beat bodied of- the breed > alive. In
breadth of chest she almost, rivals Tom
Sharkey, the fighter.*.
Glrtford Goody is by Champion Ivcl
Doctor, out of Ivel Dorry. In color she,
is white, • with brindle-marked head.
She .weighs fortj'-five pounds. H. St,
John Cooper, an authority on tho breed,
In his latest book, whicft describes the
best twenty of the breed, says of her:
"She is probably the best bodied of her
sex alive. In fact it would be dif-.
ficult to find fault with her body, while
in skull and underjaw there is little to
be desired." • .
Entries for the breeders' meeting at
Fresno will close Thursday next, the
15t!i inst. Ten thousand dollars is of
fered in purxes for trotters and pacers,
the; largest stake being $1500 for trot
ters of the 2:24 class. The track at
Fresno is one of the best and fastest
in the State and is in almost perfect
shape for record breaking. The citi
zens of Fresno raised a bonus of $1500
to Induce the breeders to hold their
mooting at the raisin center.
Denver's big meeting opens next Tatur
«Jay. Tr.e runners will occup;"-the prin
cii al portion of the daily programme, but
tht-re are two harness events each day
and many fa^t trotters and pacers will
rsc<- there. .Word comes from there that
Bon Voyage. W. A. Clark Jr/s tbree
yeisr-Gl<l trotter, is showing two-minute
«r«eJ and looking lilce a champion. Mr.
Clark bought lion Voyage for JIO.OW just
after the co.lt had won the two-year-old
division of the Kentucky Futurity last
year and taken a record of 2:15. Bon
Vo'yige started three times in his' two
year-old form.. First In the Horse Review
Etakc at Cincinnati, which he won in
straight heate in 2:17^ and 2:15*4. beating
The Phantom (which James Butler after
ward bought), and five others; next in
the Kentucky Futurity, where he beat
Katherine L and seven others in straight
hats in 2:15 and 2:15%, and the third
time, a week later, when Jack Axworthy
beat him in straight heats in 2:15% and
2:l«*i. Charles Marvin, the veteran reins
dan that was formerly at Palo Alto,
bred, trained and drove the colt to his
record and believes he should beta great
three-year-old. When Bon Voyage was
working, at Los Angeles this spring he
-was not the best Raited colt In the world,
but improved greatly beiore leaving for
Denver, and it is now reported that he is
trotticg like a winner for Ted Hayes. On
Wednesday of last week Mr. Hayes drove
him the last . quarter o£ a slow mile in
thirty seconds flat by his own watch,
while such experienced timers as Joe
Gavin and Joe Matty caught the quarter
In 23»i seconds. Bon Voyage is well
staked and will make his first start in
the Hartford Futurity, then in the Horse
Kevi«w Stake, at Cincinnati, and the
Kentucky Futurity at Lexington.
The recent sale of trotters held in
Boston by the Fasig-Tlpton Company
was not encouraging: to breeders who
snip horses to the Eastern markets.
Those sold did not bring: any higher
prices than would have been paid for
them here In California. Two McKln
n»»y fillies taken to the sale by James
Thompson of Pleasanton brought but
$550 and $325, which is no more than
could. have been obtained for them
here, without the expense of. transpor
tation to Boston, which is quite a sum.
Horse values are as good in California
as anywhere else in the United States
at the present time, with the possible
exception of high-class racing pros
pects, and Eastern buyers are perfect
ly willing to buy any real prospect
here, trusting to experts of their own
choosing to report on the horses, -v y
T. J. Crowley of this city, who Is one
of the directors of the Trottfng-Horse
Breeders* Association, is out with an
offer to renew the Crowley stake, which
tra* inaugurated last year. This Is a
tide stake of $25 each for colts and
fillies that start In the Breeders' Fu
turity. Last year's Crowley stake had
a value of $675. and it is thought the
one of this year will reach $1000.
A new feature of the programme will
be two selling races, one for trotters
and one for pacers. Xothing of the
kind has ever been tried before on a
trotting track, although the Breeders*
Association has put a race of this char
acter on its Fresno programme. In
these races, which are for $500 purses,
horses are entered to be sold for $200.
The winner is put up at auction and
all over the entered price is equally di
vided between the association and the
owner of the second horse. Any horse
in the race may \>e claimed for $200
plus \u25a0 the amount of second . money.
Should the winner be sold his owner
will receive first money, which is $250,
and $200. the -selling price, making:
ST..-.M in all. It is thought these selling
races will grive owners of the slower
horses an opportunity to race them
\u25a0without being compelled to meet the
fast green ones that are worth up in
the thousands, although without rec
ords.
The trotting: classes are. free-for-all,
J809; 2:12 class, $700; 2:IS class, $700;
2:18 class. J600; 2:24 class, $1500; 2:30

• The grammar school tournament was
originally set for the l.th test., but has
been postponed to the 21th- Many of the
juveniles are entered and as their June
tournament will be played next Saturday
a postponement of the grammar school
championship was necessitated. Already
six schools have entered players, and
many more will do so. next week. This
event will doubtless prove -Interesting, as
many of the boys entered are quite skill
ful with the racket. M. McLoughlln. the
Junior- Club champion, is expected to
carry .^oJt .the honors.
, : The fifth . annual tournament for the
championship of the State will be played
on" the San -RafaeT courts on July 4. The
tournament , win probably commence on
the Ist" 6f July. Champion MacGavin will
not be here to defend it and the event has
an open look. All of the cracks who
competed in the San Francisco champion
ship tournament and several who did not
will be in the competition. Many think
Carl Gardener will annex the champion
ship, but he will have a much harder tlma
than he did in the tournament completed
last Sunday. George Baker and George
Janes are fully as clever as Gardener and
Percy - Murdock will play a much better
game than he did last .Sunday. He,win
be in better form next . month and if \u25a0b9
decides to play should carry off the hon
ors. He was -bothered considerably last
Sunday by the wind. Gardener plays a
great up-hill game and is improving: all
the time. He will be a bard man to beat
from now on.'
Clarence Griflln. a year cr. two «go,
one of the most promising young players
in the city, will have a try at tee cham
pionship this year. Griffin has gone back
considerably of late, but it has been due
principally to a lack or training and
practice.
George Janes, who has-been taking an
enforced rest of several weeks, will be a
prominent candidate In the coming tour
ney. WBm • \u25a0-
Many tennis tournaments are scheduled
for the month of Jane and the cracks
should all be in good form, for the State
championship tournament to be played
at San Rafael early, next month. The
public court players. have had a lonff rest
from, tournament play, but from now on
there will be a tournament almost every
Sunday. The third and fourth class play
ers started the ball rolling last Sunday
and the first and second class experts
will have, an innlny to-morrow. : ;
Owing to the unusually small entry;; list
in the first and second classes lt.was.de
cided to combine the two divisions,; This
might seem unfair to. the • second., class
men, but there are several of them who
are by no means outclassed by those hi
the first class. A new. cup has been put
up for-the competition to-morrow.-. .Like
the one won by George Baker, it will be
a three-time trophy. The best of the
players at the park entered the tourney
and there will undoubtedly, be som* in
teresting tennis. Carl Gardner, who .won
the San ' Francisco championship last
Sunday, did not affix his signature to.
the entry list, nor did George Janes.; an
other clever player. Gardner's failure to
enter is quite a disappointment, as. the
enthusiasts were anxious to have hint try
conclusions with George Baker. The lat
ter is expected to win to-morroWs event.
but he will have no easy time doing so.
The finals of the third and fourth class
\u25a0 tournaments commenced last Sunday
will be played to-morrow. In the third
class G. Guerin and G. Hall will fight it
out. while in the fourth class the con
testants will be W. Howell and M. Cricb
ton. Guerin and Hall bare met several
times and the honors are about even.
Many of those who watched the play last
Sunday pick Howell to beat Crichton.
but. the latter may spring a surprise.
Other tournaments set for this month
are the first annual singles for the gram
mar school . championship, a handicap
doubles for the Olds Cups, a tournament
for the Juveniles and a handicap doubles
on the California Club courts.
