Not on the Board
'National Association Has No
San Francisco Representative
on Committee
R. R. l'Hommedieu
In the recent report ot the American
Automobile association, which fives the
board of directors for the coming: year,
every prominent state In tbe union is
represented. California gets Its dele
rate from Los Angeles, not because
of a preference displayed for that part
of the state, but from the fact that the
southland clubs are the only ones hold
ing: a membership in the association.
With a board of directors composed of
William IC Vanderbilt Jr. and others
of his confreres well known in finance
a>nd other enviable positions in life,
San Francisco falls to be identified.
There Is a moral lesson In all this in
the fact that Ban Francisco has the
premier club of the g-olden west. The
city is left, however, without the pale
of official recognition In the United
States, and. autolsts her* have no
standing in the automobile world -at
large. ;; £$j

Close Tennis Games
in Park Courts
Play was resumed yesterday In the
class singles tournament commenced in
the Golden Gate park courts last Sun
day. George Janes was unable to play
on account of illness, and the finals of
the first class were postponed until
next Sunday. As the second class was
completed a week ago, play was con
fined to the third and fourth classes..
While the matches played lacked
class, they proved unusually close.
Joseph Hchwarz won the third class,
while the honors went to Paul Curtis
In the fourth class. Schwarz was op
posed to X. 11. Martin in the finals, and
a battle royal resulted. Martin took
the flrst set after 24 games had been
played, but Schwarz took the next
three sets, all of which were close.
The score was 11-18, 7-5, 6-4, 6-4.
Had not Martin figured in such, a
grueling match In the . semifinals, the
final match might have resulted in a
victory for him.
Martin met James Strachan in the
semifinal round and it proved a hard
fought, long drawn out affair. Martin
finally won by. a score of 8-6, 7-9. 6-S.
While Schwarz lost a set to W. Mar
cus in the semifinals, he won the next
two quite handily and entered the finals
comparatively fresh. He beat Marcus
3-6, 6-4, 6-2.
In tbe finals of the fourth class Paul
Curtis beat M. E. Levin in straight sets,
tbe score being 6-3. $-6» 6-S.
Saturday the members of the Golden

singles tournament with the exception
of the flrst class. In the second class

finals he beat Brunn 6-1. 6-2.
In the third class semifinals R. Smith

the Red jackets Defeat the
Whites Cleverly
R. A. Smyth
Burlingame country club, -poloists
resumed play yesterday lon the private'
field of Francis; J.\ Car o lan after an
intermission of three ..weeks, made
necessary by the unsettled weather.
Both plajjcrs: and' spectators -.showed
gameness during the afternoon, as rain
fell interraittantly, but did not deter
either tlie horsemen or -the large
crowd out to. witness the -.play. "The
public stand was crowded, \u25a0while the
artistic polo pavilion was gay with
life and. color., . * w ' : i
The balancing of the teams was;not
as oleverly . done as> usual, .the result
being that the reds scored . an easy
victory.' Captain Adams of., the Four
teenth cavalry played for the "-first; time
at Burlingame, and vas the handicapper
had no line on his form, he '.was not
placed to the' best advantage/*' lt takes
* fast game to bring out the soft spot*
in both players and' ponies, g This .was
shown yesterday, \u25a0 the : lack ., of \u25a0 practice
telling* on -both the horsemen and their
mounts before the play had been on
long.
The • teams did i not play the ; entire
game, as they- lined up for the first
period. At. the beginning of the. third
period Carolan. and Cameron - changed
places. -The original lineup was:
Red*. '?--;-:\u25a0\u25a0 White*.
P. I>. : Majtin • .-.George Camtrua
B. M.-. ToMn .Captain Afiams
F. J. Carolan T. A. Driscoll
W. S. Hobart ; Joba L» vtjod
Umpire — George Person*.
Scor«— R«<U 7, whites 4. \
The reds started "with, a rush in the
first period, when' they scored^ foiir
goals. , They scored, two more jj in the
third and completed-- their, scoring in
the fifth, when they added - one more
goal. Neither, side scored In the sec
ond period.' The 'whites \ made two
goals *in the third, one in the fourth
and one in the sixth. Peter Martin
and Walter . Hobart^, contributed the
most goals to. the record, each making
three. F. J. Carolan accounted for two,
while R. M. Tobin and T. A. Driscoll
each contributed one toy the. scores- of
their respective teams. \u25a0
When the ball was tossed In; for the
first time Driscoll picked it up . and
ran it- down toward the goal. When
it seemed he would surely score Ho
bart galloped up and drove the' ball
outside. „ This was the only chance
the* whites had this period, as* the op
posiner players * were "forcing the play
the remainder of the time.; They ran
the ball back up the field and Martin
| scored. The ball was put in play again
! and Tobin scored. The reds were on
I their mettle by this time and Hobart
; drove the ball between 'the posts for
them. ", Soon after he ran the, ball down
the" -field in one of his" spectacular
plays, but Just missed the gaol in the
final 3troke. Martin completed tlie scor
ing for the reds by ; making a goal
after, the bell sounded but before the
ball was put out of play. :
The second period; was tlie fastest of
the game, and although neither side
scored, tlie whites were a little out of
luck, as ;they had the. ball near ' the
goal posts several times. When the
ball was .tossed. in the first time.Dris
coll took possession and rushed it down
the field," Just failing. to score. Lawson
was " equally unlucky ; shortly . afterward.
The whites scored their ' first goal in
the third period when Carolan placed
the ball and Lawson drove^it between
the' posts. Hobart' and Martin scored
for; the reds and Carolan for .the
v/hites-bftfore the period closed. •
Driscoll was the hero of. the fourth
period, scoring the only -goal from a
remarkable angle. Hobart added one
goal to the score of the reds in the
fifth period and Carolan scored .for
the whites in the sixth.
Lively Slugging in
Soccer Games
Bob Shand
The Par n ells made their annual ap
pearance on the soccer field yesterday
and after keeping on level terms, with :
the Independents for an: hour broke up !
the game by refusing to abide by the
referee's decision. Scanlon. a member
of the Gaelic team,. -was. ordered oft" the
field by, Referee Afikham after engaging
in fa .slugging bee with' McGran of . the
Independent.". The ' Parnell player
could not see the matter in the same
1 light as the ofHciar arbitrator, and: en?
deavored to express his view." by punch
ing the referee. • -The^captain of the
team was. given, two 'minutes, to .re
move' the .unruly player from the field
and on failing to do so Askham prompt
ly stopped the game, and the ti«' will
no doubt, be awarded to the Independ
ents. The Robert Burns vanquished
the Scotlas five goals to two at the Ala

"While the prosecutions of the South
