8 COFFROTH AND BUNKER HAVE THEIR TROUBLES. BY JOE CORBETT. Thursday's Bulletin" contained a little note calling attention to the tact that. Mr. Bunker was now In full control of the.

Ban Francisco club. Mr. Coff roth, the other half of the team, "was quite on being apprised of the late developments in connection with the new of manage ineut. and ventured the Btatement that If such was the case he unaware' as to the facts.

I am inclined to conjecture; how- ever, that many a game will be played by the San Francisco club belore one of managers condescends to vacate; They 'both entertain a similar view of the situation, and being equally confident of their ability to properly adjust matters, the that the team is to-be reorganized and placed under one head might just as i be. dissipated. Coffroth does not propose stepping out, after all the troubles land inconvenience this team has' caused him. Mr.

True, if either Mr. Coffroth or Mr. Bunker (chances for a revival of Interest among the players would be excellent; yet.

re.cent information, which is positively authentic, declares that the prime cause of all the trouble must be attributed ta the two different factions which have in the team ever since. the consolidation. It appears that Murphy, Monahari end 11.

W. THE SAIN" FRAKCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1898. GOOD TROTTING AT THE OAKLAND TRACK. It seems a pity that the present meeting at Oakland does not draw thousands dally to the beautiful mile track, inasmuch as the game offers advantages similar to the running races, save that the distance Is uniform one mile. The betting is as uncertain a proposition as the winter races, and one sees a whole lot of exciting sport during the afternoon, yet reaches town early enough to dine at regular hours.

Starter Havey handles the fields with judgment, and does not tire his audience by waiting perfect scores ere giving the word. There Is always a scramble for place and show money, and many of the finishes for the first money have been of the ding-dong variety throughout the week. Then, too, horses to win have In many cases had to take- records several seconds below their last season's standard. As yet no waits have occurred because of pulling shoes, breaking harness, as used to be the case in the days of our forefathers, when it was three in five" and they trotted from noon till the pool ln far too many events.

Wilder of the Pioneers and J. Lyons of the South Ends being swamped soon after rounding the stakes. As second place in a preliminary heat entitles the sculler to row in the final heat.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS TOURNAMENT Tho eleventh annual lawn tennis tournament: of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association of the United States Lawn Tennis Association is now in progress at San Rafael.

The warring factions, each determined to have its own tournament, compromised, and the weaker gave way to the stronger, with a few tacit reservations. The first day's work on the Hotel Rafael courts was given over to preliminaries. To-day the more portant matches of the tournament will be played. The competition in tennis for honors is not so strong as in former years. The rivalry between the old Oakland club and the California club of this city was so intense that the members of each would go into active training for the.

big tournament at San Rafael, which' was always an event of some magnitude, both from an athletic and a social standpoint. Of late years the first-class players have narrowed down to tour men, two pairs of brothers. Walter Magee George Bradshaw are ranked as first-class, men, but they are just kept out of that class by the narrowest oi margins- So it is that the present tournament, from an athletic standpoint, is not the event that it formerly was. As far as the merit of playing goes, the Hardys and the Whitneys surpass in quality the playing- of any former, champions. William Taylor, who for som-e years held the championship of the coast, was at his best an inferior player when compared with these men.

The drawing of the tournament at San Rafael 'will find, the two Hardys ing one another before e.tthef rm-ets his San Francisco rival, Robert N. It is never safe to prejudge a tennis match 'between the Hardy brothers. Their playing is of such an even quality that either is likely to prove the wiriner. Both Sam and Sumrier have been before the. public sittee 1891, when they -were youngboys, an.d but seldom have -they" expert-1 enced defeat by an outsider.

This year one I will have to surrender before the final round jof the tournament is reached. Whether it will be Sam ox Sumner who I willrne.et Robert Whitney is a matter of great uncertainty. George Whitney will not defend 'the championship" which he won last year. He is out -of condition- and has. not been feel-.

w.ell of late. This is. to be regretted, as 'a 'match, between the winner the and. George Whitney would be asplendid exhibition of tennis. Robert is pretty sure, to come out in the finals.

"Though a good pjayer, he" is not especially the excitement of a tournament. But something may happen to steady him, and then he will ba as formidable as his brother" George. OUR RIFLEMEN AT THE EASTERN RANGES. i' The second grand annual shooting festival of the National. Schuetzen-Bund of America opens to-morrow at the Glendale range, 1 Long Island, N.

Y. and will continue during the week, ending July 11. This is one of the greatest rifle events of the riflemen from all over the -globe wilt be in attendance. The prizes offered amount to thousands of dollars, say nothing of' the hundreds of trophies, medals and' general prizes. The scores and records made, will be watched with the greatest interest by the' local marksmen, for they- hope to- see among the winners of honors' and prizes, the names of some of California's best shots.

Four have already gone. to the contests- and it may will take his rifle and hasten to the. East before the shooting Is over. Those who have gone are A. Stettin, arid; J.

D. Heise of the San Francisco Zen Vereiri. and Fred p. Young and I). W.

scores in man a hard-contested- match show that they are able' to keep up. with any pace that may be set -for them arid be close to. If. not. the head kind of a where, there is a chance to win.

These two clubs are the only ories in this city that- are 'en titled the Bund. Stettin, and have taken their' Winchester fine target rifles with them, while Young and MeLaughlin- have taken their Pope-Ballards. Young, who is the originator of the Columbia targetwhich received third choice in the voting contest for a standard target when it was scarce a year old, proposes to do some missionary work among the Eastern marksmen. The Columbia target has already been adopted by many of the clubs on this coast, the Northwest 1 and not a few In the Eastern and Middle States. He will have a hard time to convert those who have become wedded to the standard American and German 25-ring targets.

After the shoot Young will go on a visit to his folks "away down in Maine," returning about September 1. From what can be learned it is believed that the others will return very soon after the festival is ended. While In the East the California delegates to the Bund will exert every effort to ind'uee the powers that be to bring the Bund to this city in 1901, the next time the festival is held. It is known that many members of the association are very much in favor of having the event take place on the Pacific Coast, and those who have gone East have been instructed i to pull all together to accomplish this end. At a recent meeting of the presidents of all of the dozen or more rif clubs of this city the pledge was made for all to support the movement.

The Call will make; arrangements to have daily telegraphic reports of the highest scores in the principal events during the present festival at Long and, for all of the best shots of the East, are well known to the marksmen of this city, and it goes without saying our I sharpshooters who have been obliged to stay at home want to see how their' own scores compare with those we have sent East and those already There will be considerable rifle shooting the Schuetzen Park, range near San Rafael to-morrow, many clubs holding their regular bullseye and medal, contests. M. J. WHITE. 1 AMONG THE KENNELS AND HIGH CLASS DOGS The local kennel world is much amused at a contretemps of which F.

Van Sickien Is the victim. The which has aroused the risibilities of the fanciers. Is a whelping of a phenomenal nature achieved by that gentleman's English. setter bitch, Van's Belle. It appears that Van's Belle was sent to Pleasanton to tfhe Verona kennels to be bred to John E.

de Ruy.ter's crack English setter dog, Count Gladstone IV. The union was felicitously accomplished, so It was supposed, and Belle' was returned to. her owner. In due course the expected, happened, and last Monday Belle became the happy mother of a litter Scotch eolliesL Now. our breeders are In a Quandary.

Either English setters are exceptions to nature's laws well, the Verona kennels are, anyhow, noted for their Scotch Collies. Still, it does seem remarkable, to say the least, that two thoroughbred English setters should produce a progeny of Borzois-headed Scotch collies. Which is it, the lady or the tiger? The agitation among the collie club members for holding field trials' it col- lies is gaining strength, and it is' probable that an early attempt will be to carry the proposition to a successful con- elusion.

The greyhounds continue, to enjoy "dogdays." And while the "muggy" heat of the Eastern dog days is lacking on this coast the greyhounds generate considerable At both parks there will be coursing today, to-morrow and on Monday, At Union Park to-day the stake is an open feature, comprising- seventy-two grand performers, and on Monday a consolation contest will also be pulled off. At Union Park the performers are unquestionably of high class. The celebrated For Freedom is again entered and is very naturally picked by the talent to win out. False Flatterer, though, is in the game, and "there are Arthur Massey has divided his Eastern for this week's running, and has a portion at both parks. Hot Stuff should do well at Union' Park; Beauty's work there is doubtful.

At Ingleside should stray well up into the coin, as the dogs are accustomed to the park and appear to like the hard going. Magnet is said to be in excellent shape for his work at Union Park to day. In his duys of only a year ago ''excellent shape" meant a stake for Magnet. Lady Jane is at Ingleside again to-day and may be heard from. Lady Jane 13 one of the coming ones.

The Union managers will inaugurate seivera.lmb.re valuable improvements during the enming week.

The hares have been brought to a wonderfully additional strength during the past few weeks, and it is now the design of Mr. Jerome that every point of the inclosure shall show perfection.
