Miss Eleanor Jones ofSan Rafael played a good game through-out and might have beaten Miss MaudVarney had she not been completely worncut from her previous bard matches.Following is a summary of the tourna-ment:

Twenty-five of the cleverest women ten-nis players in this part of the Statestruggled on the Golden Gate Park courtsyesterday in the first championshfp tour-nament of the bay counties. As was ex-pected the games were much more in-teresting than on the previous day whenthe doubles were plaj'ed. The tournamentbrought out the best playing ever seen Inthe cltj\

to the large entry list the eventhad cot been completed when darknesspet in. Three players are left to com-pete for the championship. They areMiss MiriamHall, the clever^ little playerfrom San Rafael, who forme'rly held thecoast championship, and the Misses Evaand Maujl Varney. the two strongestplayers from the park.

Miss Hall was easily the star of the dayand in every match completely outclassedher opponent. Her swirt chop strokesproved effective against her less experi-enced opponents. Althoug-h she met someof the strongest players in the tourna-ment her best game was not brought out.She v.ill meet the winner of the matchbetween the Varney sisters. Miss EvaVarney is almost sure to beat her sisterand when she meets Miss Hall In thefilial a great match willresult. Miss Var-ney Is the strongest player in the city.and although it is hardly expected shewill beat Miss Hall she will undoubtedlyforce the little champion to play her bestgame to win.

Miss Miriam Hall and theMisses Varney Are

the Cleverest.

For the rest of "Jack and the Bean-stalk" there are new jokes a-plenty

'and

some few survivors of the variety halls.The songs are mostly fresh and some ofthem unusually fetching, "The Owl andthe Moon," sung by Annie Myers and cho-rus, being of the very prettiest. The plot,too, is occasionally visible to the nakedeye, and the whole thing is clean, smart,,brightly dressed, wholesome fun. It Is,by a long way, the best Christmas piecethe Tivoli has put on and willbe enjoyedby every one.

'

Annie, Myers, neat as ninepence andyounger .than ever. Is, next to the cow,the hit of the piece. Annie vis billed asJack, who, for the sake of the moo-cow,

has been turned into a milkman. There isjiouse talking, but Annie Myers is one ofthe jauntiest, cleverest, snappiest sou-brettes that have happened this way. Shesings well, acts well, looks w.ell, and herJack comes right,up ¦with her usual work.Perhaps honors are even between* littleAnnie and Tom Nannery as the ogre, whomakes Maurice Grau's dragon take a backseat as an illusion. He is a most dread-ful giant, about ten feet tall, of ogre-likebeard and build, and. looking as ifbabiesand, maidens were the "chief of his diet."" Nannery isn't the only, wonder in make-up in.the cast. Pretty Aimee Leicester

RUSSIAN AND GERMANCHRISTMAS FOR T0T3

Nash Is an old-timer. He was first ar-rested on January 11, 1889, for robbery,but was acquitted, and Ion - January 24.1S94, he was acquitted on a charge of bur-glary. February 2,1825, he was sentencedto six months In the County Jail forvagrancy. October 12, 18D6, he was sen-tenced to one year for vagrancy and pettylarceny. January 21, 1898, he was sentencedto San Quentin for three years for pettylarceny, second offense. August VL, \1900.he had a charge of grand larceny reducedto petty larceny and got six months, andMarch 2. 1901, he got three months for,malicious mischief.

J. J. Casey, a. driver of a delivery wajoo

for tha Emporium, left tha wagon for %few minutes opposite 700 Lacuna streetwhile he was delivering a "parcel. Th«wagon was filled with Christmas pres-ents. Nash and his companion -Jumped;Into the wagon and drove off. PolicemanJohn O'Connor happened to be closs by*and he jumped Into a buggy and gav«chase. H« rapidly drew closer to the Em-porium wagon, and Nash' 3 companionjumped from It and mads his escape.O'Connor overtook Nash after a pursuit

of four blocks and placed him under, ar-rest. After Casey had regained posses-sion of the wagon Nash was taken to thaCity Prison and locked up. In tha tankswhile an effort is being made to capture

his companion. Nash will be chargedwith grand larceny.

Several parcels have been stolen fromEmporium delivery wagons recently, and:Special Officer Allen, who Is specially de-tailed there, is under the belief that Nash.and his companion have /Committed thathefts. Nash refuses to make any state-ment or disclose the name of his com-panion.

James Nash, alias Frank McCann. anda companion made a bold attempt yes-terday mornlns to supply^jfcheir trlendswith Christmas presents without beingput to th» necessity of paying for them.The attempt was unsuccessful, and Kashwill probaly spend a few more years laSan Quentln.

Had he not been so tired he might havehurt Jeffries, but as It was his blowslacked steam. Jeffries was going It des-perately and taking advice from Fitzsom-mons, who was in his corner, but to nopurpose. Munroe would go down from apunch, but would come back again afterthe count in wonderfully game' fashion.At no time did he show a disposition toquit, though badly punished. When timewas 'called at the end of the fourthround Munroe' was' all in, but he was ahero, who had well won the applausewhich greeted him. It is due Jeffries tosay that he was not in condition and thathe could have made an easy victim ofMunroe had the . boat gone one moreround. After, the bout was over ManagerClark Ball announced that if -he couldsecure the theater for a return engage-ment for Saturday night he would matchFitzsimmons against Munroe and jagreeto forfeit $500 ifLanky Bob could not dis-pose of the miner in four rounds.

• Once in the second round Jeffries showedhe was angry and sent Munroe to thefloor, but not withsufficient force to makehim quit. In the ~ third round Jeffriesshowed more championship form than atany time (during the go. He landed onMunroe's jaw good and hard and againthe miner went to the floor. Twice after-ward Munroe went down and wlseljr.tookthe nine seconds' rest. He was therenotto whip Jeffries, but to stay four rounds,and he used his head well.

-Sometimes he clinched to save himself,

but he invariably got "the worst of theclinches, as Jeffries never failed to landon the body. After one of the clinchesJeffries got In a right swing on the bodyand Munroe went down to stay had notthe gong 'savetT him. When the men cameup for the fourth round the crowd was•wild with excitement and from all sidescame cries: "Stick to him, Jack," andJack was sticking. He never once fal-tered nor showed a sign of yellow. Nomatter how much he was punished, hewas always back at the champion andlanded often.

Itwas a case of'give and take, withMunroe outpointing. Jeffries all throughthat round and the second round. Threetimes did Munroe land on Jeffries' jaw inthe second round In rapid succession.- Jef-fries shcrwed he was not in condition andbegan to puff. He realized Itwas foolishfor him to leave San Francisco after, achampionship battle and do no work un-til a little over a week ago. He waspalpably out of condition for a severecontest. •' • *'.

The victory of Munroe over Jeffries wasbrought about in the third number of theathletic programme which the championof the world and Robert Fitzsimmons aregiving from city to city on their tour un-der the management of Clark Ball andWilliam Delaney. When the first roundstarted he opened proceedings by pushingJeffries' head back with a stiff right Jabon the nose.

-The champion winced and

got a left on the head. He saw he wasagainst a foeman who. meant to try tostay four rounds, and he waded in. Mun-roe was not to be easily found, however,and delighted the spectators- by cleverlyducking vicious swings and getting awayfrom hard leads.

?UT*TE, Mont., Dec. .20.— Jack Munroe,a workman In the Anaconda mine,' for-merly of San Francisco, and who claimsthe title of amateur champion heavy-weight boxer of the Pacific Coast, securedthe decision over James J. Jeffries, cham-pion of the world, after four rounds offighting to-night' at Sutton's BroadwayTheater. The decision was well earned.

Jeffries had agreed that ifhe could notstop Munroe In four rounds he would for-feit $200. He failed to stop the burly min-er,' and Referee Duncan

'McDonald had

nothing to do but give the decision toMunroe. When the gong sounded at theend of the fourth round, 'and before Mc-Donald had time to announce that Mun-roe was the winner, the 1500 spectators,Including five women, were on their feet,shouting like mad. Men waved their hatsand jumped- up and -down for joy, whilethe women not only applauded liberally

but forgot, themselves and shouted. Thewalls of the theater never, .before re-sounded with such unstinted and vocifer-ous commendation of any man' as lastnight.
