    Charles Kuehn-

    and N. Blaiedellplayed three sets, the honors going tothe former. Kuehn won the first andthe third sets, while, the second wentto his opponent, jKuehn has been im-proving rapidly of late and the lowerclass men findit difficult to beat him.

    The remaining matches of the SanFrancisco championship" tournamentwillbe played next Sunday. The cham-pionship match between Champion; CarlGardner and the' tournament winnerwillbe played on the following Sunday.

    As all five of the players -remainingIn the tournament :are conceded a goodchance to win, the matches next Sundaywill all prove interesting.' HerbertSchmidt and Champion Gardner arepracticing daily and are in fine shape.'

    Despite the fact that the tennis courtsof the California Club dried out in themiddle of the x afternoon but fewmatches v/ere played yesterday.. Manyof the players figured the courts wouldbe too wet to permit of playing, butthey dried rapidly once the rain ceased.Charles Foley was on hand to play hissecond round match In the San Fran-cisco tournament with Melville Long.The latter did not appear.

    A few of the players figured in someinteresting practice matches late In theafternoon. A fast doubles was playedby Carl Gardner and Albert Kenyonand Frank Mitchell and Grant Smith.The latter won two out of three sets.The first and third sets were exceed-ingly close and there were many fastrallies. In'the first set Mitchell andSmith led at 4-2, but their opponentstook four games straight and set-

    The second set Mitchell and Smithwon easily. The real battle came inthe third set after Mitchell and Smithhad a lead of 5-2.- In each of the nextthree games the winners needed but onepoint on several occasions. Gardnerand Kenyon won all three games andalso the next, giving them a lead of«-5. Smith and Mitchell played a fastgame at the finish and won three gamesin a row. The score was 4-6, 6-2, 8-6.

    Gardner and Smith played one set insingles. The San Francisco championhad rather poor control of his drive andSmith won the set handily. The winnerwas in good form and did some excel-lent volleying and smashing. Thescore was 6-2. \u25a0 •

    SAUSALITO. June 3.—

    The 6aloonswere closed this afternoon by the TownTrustees, and hundreds of San Fran-ciscans who came over this afternoonto relieve their thirst were disappoint-ed. Every boat brought over hundredswith the sole object of quenching th«iirthirst. Before purchasing their ferrytickets they would inquire if the sa-loons across the bay were open.

    Sergeant Mahoney of the San Fran-cisco police hae a detail of ten men onthe ferry-boats to prevent drunkenmen from going to San Francisco.Many were prevented from goingaboard. This afternoon many took thetrain for points along the north shorein a search for liquor.

    Several of the saloon-keepers were infavor of closing Suudays for a while,while others objected. The Board ofTrustees, which met last Thursday,after admonishing the. saloon-keepersto be very discreet, allowed them tokeep open today on trial. When theTrustees saw the large crowds on everyboat they ordered every saloon closed.

    Several persons were arrested for dis-turbing the peace. One man who at-tempted to escape stopped when Dep-uty Sheriff Creed fired a shot in his di-rection.

    —Despite the

    fict that since the Nelson-Herrera pro-poffrd fight ended In a fluke Herrerahas been the subject of the most severecriticism for not having weighed inand made some kind of a showing, hehas' maintained an absolute silence asto what his reasons were. He has been..charged with cowardice, with havingsold out and has been told that the ringis practically closed to him. Instead ofreplying to his critics at once Herrerabeuan drinking and became ugly. Now.however, he has become sober and heissued the following statement today,it being the fir*t he has given out iabout his side of the trouble:

    "So much has been written about the |Xelson-Herrera fiasco, and in nearly \

    \u25a0'every cap*Ihave been given the worst ]of it. that to fair-minded people It)Tiould be interesting to look at my side !of the Question," said Herrera.

    "Let us suppose, for the sake of argu- jment," he continued, "that Iwas over iweight at 6 o'clock. Then let us leavesr.y suppositious manager out of thequestion entirely. Iwas there to weighat 6 o'clock, and Iwas in the ring atS:3O. the time scheduled in the agree-ment.

    .'There is no getting around the factthat Nelson spent the time between?:15 and 10 p. tn. in a Turkish bath. Hemay have been sweating down weightand he may not have been. That is notfor me to say, but it looks a trifle"fishy* when a man comes to the r.;ngafter three or four hours in a Turkishbath and demands » weight test.
