1898 = THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURD MARCH : P e ¥ + P e e R E S 0 LIVELY TIMES FOR COLLEGE MEN. ¥ P At The gental warmth of early spring has len. its influence to college athletics. At both the colleges there is now an ac vity on the diamond and track th::t presages a most successful and interesting season. “’:‘;‘h a little more than a month to per- foct his physical condition, the college athlete Is working earnestly and assid- uously to make a place on the team which will represent his alma mater in the lists. ‘ Early in the week there came from ralo |. Alto a wail of mourning that set the dead a-weeping. John Brunton, sprinter, record-breaker, track captain, on whose prowess as a male Atlantls Stanford students would bank their all, has been obliged to quit the university for at least 2 month, on account of the iliness of his father. Brunton may return, but his time for training before the spring games will be limited to the smallest margin.

The men get on the 21 at 4 o'clock sharp. There is no dally- ing or straggling, for Mr. Cochran is not that kind of a man. At first general field- ing work is practiced for half an hour. Then a regular practice game of three innings’ length is plaved. After that Cochran has the men line up in their po- sitions, and sharp field practice, with the ball ever on the move from hand to hand, completes the day’s work for the baseball then. Cochran appears in baseball togs and many new wrinkles has he already Shown his pupils. He is assisted by | SChapple” Smith, also of Princeton, and & close friend of Cochran. On the track California improves with every hour. The candidates for positions of honor on the track team are numerous end they are working morning and aft noon. The sophomore-freshman fleld da next Saturday is ing more atten- tion_than intercla; airs ordinarily do, 1o doubt on account of the rare material | in both classes and the intense rivalry be tween them In matters athletic.

The greatest game of basket ball in the | present tournament between the San | Francisco and the Oakland teams was the | one played last Thursday evening in the | gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. of this city. | Tt was the game between the Athens from | across the bay and the Rushers, the local team. The Athens were declared winners a final score of 14 to 13 points in their vor. In the first half the Rushers put up one of the flnest games ever seen on this coast. They entered the battle with great courage and gave the Athens more to do than they could attend to, because the Rushers scored in the first twenty min- utes 12 points on goals from the field and 1 point on a foul; while the Athens made 5 points_onl. As it has happened in the majority of the games recently played, a marvelous | change took place when the players were called out for the second half. The Ath- ens pulled up wonderfully, scored point | for point, tied the Rushers and won the | game yet, though by a very small mar- | gin. It would hardly be right to make special | mention of the individual plays or play ers, as the game was an exhibition of the | finest team work on both sides. There was splendid passing and some phenom- | enal goal throwing, although the resuit is | not so clearly seen by the score. The in- | terference_was too strong for any such showing. In fact, the interference was so | strong that it resulted In some rough play, which ought to be censured here. Quite a number of fouls were called and the number was by no means too great. All the players were in it to win and all did their level best. They can glory, how- ever, in the honor of having taken part in one of the greatest games yet played. The following names were entered for the game by the captains of the teams: Rushers. Position. Athens, F. L. Shaw.... Forward...J. Lancaster E. L. Spacher Forward . Book Ea Flelscher.. Center .....W.

The_high jinks given by the Olympic Club Wheelmen last Saturday night wa one of the best of its kind ever held by a cycling club here. The entertainment was high class, the refreshments plentiful and good, and the large crowd of wheel- { men present passed a very enjovable | evening.

The disgruntled finan- cier, after his “kick” registered through the columns of The Call, was summoned by letter to ap- pear before offictals of the Pacific Coa Club, where a sooth- ing lotlon was applied by Secretary Green Mr. Sink was assured that Ed Corrigan had been requested to bottle up his witty package of jokes about his fel- low men until St. Patrick's day, 1901, and Mr. Sink himself was implored to desist 44+ 25 3 + + e + + the from rushing to the press for fustice. He was advised to hold on to his stock, and that in future evervthing possible would be done to make the_ relations ex- isting among Mr. Sink, Mr. Corrigan and the club as amicable as was possible. | Mr. Sink appears satisfied. The incipi- ent revolution has been squelched without resource to arms, and Ed Corrigan still plays the role of dictator and pursues the even tenor of his way.

Though there were no déuce all games in the sets the playing was of a lively and close character. Ogden Hoffman and W. | L.

In his career on the turf, Dave Gideon has owned some notable turf celebritles, including among them Butterflies, piloted to victory in the Futurity by Henry Grif- fin. In speaking of some of the decisions rendered by the stewards, Mr. Gldeon said: “I can’t agree with officlals suspending owners for sixty days. They are either guilty and should be ruled off the turf or else they are innocent of wrong-doing.’* These words are certainly well timed. In reconsidering the cases of W. J. Spiers, the owner of Santello; Nolan & Tholl, owners of Also Ran, and _‘‘Curley”’ Shields, in whose colors Joe Terry ran, the stewards reduced the period of sus: pension somewhat. Why did they do s0? When Little Cripple beat Don Clarencio and The Bachelor one day at Ingleside, and it was freely reported that the in- side money was played on Don Clarencio, Judge Murphy notified the members o the press that the entry of Little Cripple would in future be refused. The next day the press was notified that the entry of Little Cripple would be accepted. The brother of the gelding’s owner is & Super- visor. Mr. Gideon, while not mentioning the latter little incident, said that during his long career on the turf he had never been called before the stewards. He spoke in glowing terms of the California turf, and said that it was to, be regretted if men had become identified with the turf here whose presence was inimlcal to its best interes The case of the Australian mare Trance is puzzling in the extreme. Her owner, J. D. Lewis, feels that he has been most harshly treated. 1t appears to be a most complicated mixture—the whole thing— though it really seems as though the stewards of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club might reinstate the mare, as her owner is anxious to sell, and let him depart for his home in the Antipodes. Ed Corrigan, in an interview published in a morning paper, said that he had never requested the secretary to make up a race for one of his horses. During the meeting that comes to a close to-day the Hawthorne turfman’s horses have won fifteen races, not _including _to-day's events. With only an ordinary string, he has been singularly fortunate. Most of the steeplechase events have either been won by his or Andy Blakeley’s jumpers, and the writer has no hesitancy in saying that favoritism has been shown—and this goes if he hears it. On Thursday it was common gossip among the different own- ers that the final race of the day was at one time as good as declared off. Through some means four entries were induced to stay in, and the Corrigan horse Geyser, a 1 to 3 favorite, won easily at the end, scoring his seventh consecutive victory. 1t will be in fashion, possibly with both associations, about the time the meeting draws to a close, to give a few ‘‘dog races” for the benefit of the “poor own- ers.” Tt is the public and those same poor owners that keep the game running, and if they are wise the management of the two big tracks will see to it that the “dogs” bave an inhing some weeks before the season draws to a close. F. E. MULHOLLAND. A mule patrols the beach at St. Aug- ustine, Fla., in quest of turtles. When she has found one she turns it on its back and then rambles off to inform her master. For some weeks prior to the late storm the residents of Alvarado have been catching large steelheads in the tide waters of Alameda Creek by means | of nets and spears. The attention of the Fish Commissioners was called to this fact and Deputy Cross paid a visit to a slough riear Alvarado, where the fishes were lodged in deep pools. He discovered that nets had been used for the capture of the fishes, and before leaving the depu- ty notified the people who were fishing unlawfully that if they persisted in net- ting or spearing steelheads the commis- sioners would make their sport cost them more than they had bargained for. As this has been a singularly poor year for the breeding fishes to propagate their species above tide waters, and as the prospects for summer fishing look anything but favorable, it is hoped that the Fish Commissioners will not forget to replenish the coast streams by stock- ing them liberally and intelligently this year with the fry of either the Rainbow.

" n previous seasons the fry dum;vd carelessly into the deep pools of the Paper Miil and Sonoma Creeks, much to the pleasure of the large and predatory fish, which waxed fat and strong by messing on the innocents.

Lovers of the grand old sport of cours- ing can select either of the two parks— Union or Ingleside—for a pleasant out- ing on to-day and to-morrow.

The Stanford college boys are looking forward to a busy season in outdoor ath- letics as may be seen from the follow- ing communication STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 4, 1898.—Editor of The Call: The departure of Captain Brunton, who will probably not be able to return to college this sem- ester, has left matters on the track in a very bad shape. It has taken from the sprints the one man in whom the cardinal put its greatest trust. His place cannot be filled in the 100 yard, 220 yard and 440 yard events. As far as his duties as captaln of the team are concerned, Stanford is more fortunate, for Paul ‘Walker, the newly appointed captain, is particularly well qualified for the p: tion. Himself a conscientious trainer, he expects faithful work from the men un- der his charge. He has been on the track four years and understands his work. An effort will be made to meet the emer- gency, caused by the loss of Brunton, by changing around several of the men. Dole will probably enter the 100 yard sprint along with Birtch. Diggles “will have to go into the 220 yard and Strout will in all likelihood be put into the quar- ter mile. Weatherwax gives promise of doing something in the 440. Dole, Morgan and Culver are trying the hurdles, and will make a strong team. Luther Cary, the noted sprinter, was down for the second time on Thursday. He donned a running suit and showed the colts how he did it when he was/ running under the Princeton colors. Al though he is forty pounds heavier thany when he made his nine and four-fifths| record, he is still quite fleet. His efforts so far have been directed toward geltlng‘- the men off the mark and showing them’ the proper form in which to run.
