This distinctly and unerringly goes to prove what coaching | has Jone for the Blue and Gold. With tory when, under the natural laws of | chance, defeat should have been its por- tion. The difference in-the two college nines this year is readily patent, even to an unobservant spectator. Stanford has a hitting team; California has not. Call fornia has a nine of unparalleled fielder: ame cannot be said for Stanford. Strange to say, California plays a and does not fall apart at critical mo- ments. Stanford needs balance and self- composure, two things which, with their hitting abilities, wouid be a death knell to all California’s aspirations on the diamond for this season.

The Olympic race commands the most prominence, be- cause of the number of entries and the fact that a “record sanction” has been secured, in the hope that one of the rid- ers may eclipse the best previous per- formance. The race is for five miles, from San Leandro to Haywards, start- ing at 11 a. m. The following are the entries and handicap: E. F. Russ, E. A. Bozio, George Fuller, George Tantau, J. E.

The championship stake event which will take place at Union Coursing Park on May 1 will assuredly attract a great gathering of leashmen from all parts of | the coast, and as the high-class dogs of the State will appear in the slips Un‘ | | that day, particular interest will natu- rally be manifested in the final rounds. During the past week or two sports- men have been discussing the merits of ‘the two great dogs, viz., For Freedor., (imported) and Connemara (local), and there is no gainsaying the fact that if | the last-named dog is entered for the May Day event at Union Park, specula- | tion on the result will be very keen in- deed What a grand race it will be to witness between For Freedom nd Connemara if fortunc should favor the long-tails with a good, strong and fast hare that has the ability to throw grass in the eves of the dogs In its wiid flight for freedom.

Tennis players are fondly waiting for the reports of the great Ojai Valley tour- nament, probably the most important ever held in California. The general be- lef is that the north will be triumphant over the south in every battle. The Whit- neys and Hardys left the city last Wednesday evening for the valley, and a gathering of tennis players was at the ferry to wish them success and victory. Rarely has any tennis tournament caused as much interest as this which will be completed to-day. In the minds of those who know a thing or two about tennis there is no doubt concerning the result of the tournament; that the Whitney and Hardy freres will win not only the major- ity of matches, but every one played, is their firm belief. However, they will find strong men ;opposed to them, and they will have to play to carry off the palms. At the California Club some very good matches were played during the week, and arrangements made for others to follow next week. On Monday the oft- postponed match between Miss Hoffman and Miss Mason for the club champion- ship in singles will be played. In mixed doubles Sumner Hardy and Miss Clark cleared the courts with sweeping victor- fes. Miss McLeran, a falr visitor from the south, played several matches on the courts during the past week and taught the young lady players something of the game. With Miss Isabelle Sherwood of Alameda she defeated Miss Winifred Sherwood and Miss Mann 6—1. Miss Mec- Leran and Joe Daly defeated the Misses Sherwood 6—2, 6-2. Of the players who went south Robert N. Whitney was the only one who did not put in a week of practice. Sumner and Sam Hardy put up good games ‘in ractice. Sam Hardy beat Walter Magee our out of five sets. George Whitney Cyclers cannot raise a téam, and the Cal- ifornia, Encinal, Santa Rosa and San Francisco clubs 'will stay out this year H. W. SPALDING. AN EMERGENCY ROLL. Plan to Recruit for First Regiment, N. G. C—The New Service Uniforms Are Here. At a meeting of the Board of Officers of the First Regiment of Infantry, N. G. C., held last Thursday night, it was re- solved to open an emergency company roll at each of the two armories. The pur- pose of this Is to enable any of the ex- National Guardsmen, who, for various reasons, were honorably discharged from the service, to be ready to again become members of any of the companies they might desire. - It is not, at this time, the Intent to muster the men who may sign the emergency roll, but to have them ready at short notice should the occa- sion arise for their services. These rolls will be opened on Monday night at the Ellis street armory, where those who may desire to enroll their names with the companies that meet there that night will have an opportun- ity to do so. The rolls will also be opened at the Page street armory, where two companies will meet for drill that night. Every night next week the armories will be open on company nights and in addi- tion there will be at each armory an of- ficer who will impart information as to where the members of the consolidated companies, that is, those which belong to the regiments that were mustered out under the plan of reorganization, can be found, as there are, no doubt, a great number of ex-Guardsmen who would pre- fer to be with old companions-in-arms. Most of the service uniforms that were ordered for the National Guard several weeks ago have been received in this city and are now in a warchouse, and will be ready for distribution in a short time, as soon as a proper form of re- ceipts Is drawn up. —_—————————— Park Commissioner Austin.
