He COLLEGE MEN WANT A RACE IN FOUR OARS| President Wheeler. Wishes Rowing to Take High Rank | Among Sports. | The most interesting topic among row- ing men is the possibility of a race be- tween four-oared crews of the University of California and the Columbia Rowing | Club. The boating association of the Uni- versity of California and the Columbia | Rowing Club have quarters side by side on Besslons basin, Oakland Creek, and in 158 & boat race took place between a Co- lumbia crew, coached by E. R. Folger of Yale, and a four of the university trained by E. M. Garnett of Harvard. On the night before the race the university boat- house, with all the boats and equipment, | wae burned. The university crew, hcw ever, borrowed a barge and rowed, bu was beaten. There are several good oars- | men in the Columbia Rowing Club, but | many of the best known members, as E. | R. Folger, George S. Wheaton, R. M. Fitz- gerald, F. 8. Stratton, H. J. Knowles. ( O. G. Miller, J. A. Folger and P. H. Re- millard, have become goif enthusiasts. Recently the captain .of the universily barge crew asked some members of t Columbia Rowing Club if a race cculd not be arranged between the two clubs, and the Columbias will probably make up | a crew. The whole matter is as yel far from settled, and no date can be set for the event. The University of California crew will be made up as follows: Minot Scott, 02, bow; David Goodale, No. John W. Barnes. ‘00, No. 3; ' Frank V.| Kington, 03, stroke and captain. i Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of | the University of California, is said to be | strongly in favor of rowing as a cullege sport and to be desirous of raising it to the level on which intercollegiate footbail now stands in the estimation of the pub- lic. Dr. Wheeler is sald, on a recent Visit { to the rival institution of learning at Palo Alto, to have upbraided the Stanford for not maintaining the rowing traditi of the Anglo-Saxon race, and to have tried to persuade them to put a crew on the | water this season. J. R. Bockman, the well-known ex-pres- | ident of the Ariel Rowing Club, is desirous | to see shell-rowing, which s the most highly developed form of the sport, intro- duced here, and acting on his suggestions the Ariél Rowing Club may purchase a four-oared shell and try to persuade other Befcra | tempting to run it is well to learn how e wahk, but shell-rowing when once fair- Iy introduced is likely to supersede barge- rowing. In order to encourage oarsmen to take it up it is proposed to offer hand- | somer trophies for shell races than arc | at present awarded for barge events. The of the bay are too rough for shells, but | in the early days of rowing around San Francisco shells were commonly used, and | old oarsmen say that they have rowed a Shell in water in which a barge would not live. The clubs which first train their ; men in shells wiil have a great advantage in shell races, as considerable practice and | experlence are mecessary to sit a shell | properly. and good watermanship as vl B barsmanship is needed to keep her on | an even keel and get pace out .of her. Fabert Ellis, formerly a well-known oare- | { the Ariels, has re- | furned from Manila and rejoined the club. The Ariel senior barge crew will hn'mnde" up as follows: H. Wilson h_nw: wW. M | Wenna, No. 2; Robert Eliis, No. 3, and W. Howe or James Wilson, stroke. The Alameda senior barge crew will be made up of Jack Lewis. W. G. Hansen, DG Greenleaf and F. W. Ayers. ard a | frod junior barge crew has aiready been formed. —_———————— To Play Handball at Ryan’s. | The entries for the handball games at | Phil Ryan’s covrt, 358 Howard street, to- | morrow are sufficiently attractive to draw o good attendance. They will also glive the athletes an opportunity to stretch their muscles in sprinting about the as- yhaltum floor in an endeavor to knock the inoffensive ball into a corner.

It is to be regretted that there were no entries from othes clubs than that of Oakland for the champlonship meet of the Oakland and San Francisco Golf clubs, which began last Saturday. J. W. Byrne, R. H. Gaylord and H. B. Goodwin were prevented either by illness or bad weather from visiting the Oakland purpose of playing the qualifying rounds. | S. L. Abbot Jr. and others could not spare the time, especially as the later rounds are over thirty-six holes. Ten members Six drew byes and four played in the prelim- | inary round, in which P. E.

Eighteen holes of the koiger vs. Strat- being four uy The remaining eighteen holes will be played to na the win- | { ner wiil play agamst C Hubbard in the final round to-morrow, It is understood that the San Rafael Goif Club has been trying to secure the services of Alec Smith, now at the Coro- nado links, brother of' W. B. Smith, the open champion of the United ates, as :nblruc(or. The Western golfer, however, Smith will soon resume his work at the Washington Park Club, where Fred Herd and Wiiliam Yoeman are aiso engaged. Smith is likely to join the firm of Herd & | Yoeman. It is sald that the San Rafael directors would like to engage David Stephenson, whose lilness will not permit him to finish out his contract with the San Francisco Golf Club in the harsh cli- mate at the Presidio. Stephenson’s con- tract binds him to stay at the Presidio till September 1, but the directors have given him permission to leave on May 1. He will visit various parts of the United States, ultimately settling in whatever climate suits his health, The San Rafael links are at present though the grass throughout the fair green is somewhat too long for the golf- ers. The course and greens are being put into first-class order, and it is expected there will be a great deal of play there during the coming summer. Among those who have been practicing lately on the links are J. Griffith, Carter P. Pomeroy, H. P. Sonntag, J. J. Crooks and George H;a:eluin. s % ohn Duncan Dunn, tho olf profes- sional, son of Tom Dunn. and anplgem for the golf department of the Bridgeport Gun Implement Company, visited the Burlingame Country Club last Sunday as the guest of Francis J. Carolan. Dunn went round the course in 38, or two better then John Lawson's record score, not- withstanding the fact that the fair green was heavy from the recent rain and the grass long, while the putting greens are | rough and uneven. Though he had never been on the course b efore, his driving was straight and long and his approaches ac- curate. On Monday Dunn and his father- in-law, H. Gaylord Wilshire, visited the San Rafael links as the guests of Mrs. Frederick H. Green. Last Tuesday he left for New Orleans and will thence re- turn to New York. In the tournament held March 7 on the Coronado links between the professionals, | Willie Anderson and Horace Rawlins of the Oakland Golf Club, and Alexander Smith, instructor at the Coronado links, Willie' Anderson won. six strokes and Alexander Smith by ten. All the championship awards have now been made by the executive committee of the Southern California Golf Association. Mrs. J. W. Bowers of Garvanza won the women’s champlonship, Mrs. J. D. Foster being second, rs. Hugh W. Vail thira and Miss Helen Healy fourth. The men's championship was won by E. Orr of the Pasadena Country Club, C. E. Maud of the Riverside Polo and Golf Club being second, E. B. Tufts of the Los Angeles Country Club third and J. A. B thé }}en]l\;!}};wl{, (‘Iuhr l%urlsh. . J. McCutchen of the San Francisco Golf Club visited the links of the Los An- cles Country Club on March 7, the first day on which they were reopened after the recent rains. The fair green Is in bet- ter condition than it has been for a long time. —_— e AMONG THE YACHTSMEN. The bridge at Tiburon will be raised to- morrow about noon and the yachts and | arks which have been laid up in the quiet ks for the | h have been played, E. R.

The regatta ccmmittee of the San Fran | cisco Yacht Club has been instructed to prepare a report on the rules governing | vacht racing, into which some modifica- | | tions will be'introduced. The rule defin- | ing what is meant by “a cabin yacht” in | ihe deed of gift of the Perpetual Chal |lenge cup will be carefully examined and | {construed. Another provision, the wording { of which s obscure if not absolutely op- | posed to its real intent, is that in which it | is said that the contest for the Perpetual | | cup Is to be sailed “between May 1 of any | ear and September 30 of the following ear.” If this provision Is literally con- | strued the race might be sailed on any day | from May 2, 1900, up to September 3, 1901. | Yet the intent of the donors of the chal- |lenge cup ‘undoubtedly was to insure the | | race taking place during the season when strong winds prevail on the bay—that is, from the end of April to the end of Sep- tember. The salling clsco Yacht has been prep rogramme of the San Fran- lub for the coming season ared by Commodore W. N. McCarthy and accepted by the yacht own- ers. April 14 will be opening day. Yacht owners will dress ship at 1 p. m. and wil receive guests aboard during the after- noon. At night a hop will be given in the dance hall of the clubhouse. On Sunday the fleet will take the first cruise of the season under signal from the flagship A meeting of California yachtsmen will be held at the clubhouse to-morrow to re- arrange and assign moorings for the sea- | son. Next week a meeting of directors will be held for routine business and the | election of applicants for membership. | | The sloop yacht Whirlwind, belonging to the estate of the late E. A. von Schmidt, | will be sold at auction for the benefit of his children on' Sunday, March 25, at 1) p. m. This remarkable craft was the fast- | est of her class on the bay. S | AND READY FOR WORK! | | Everything is moving rapldly in base | ball circles these days. During the forth- | coming week the four teams of the Cali- | | fornia League will be on the diamond for | preliminary practice and a schedule of games will be arranged for the entire sea- son. Changes on the grounds on which . the league games will be played are being | made in the several citles representedl by | teams. At Oakland the stands have been | completely remodeled and the field, which | was in deplorable condition last year, will be in good shape for the opening game in | the first week of April. The new grounds | in Stockton are being placed in condition, | while the old dlamond in Sacramento is | recelving an overhauling.

The latter has been doing ractice, as agalnst the record of 2:05 e was hit with a shot on Wednesday, but promises to run if he has to use crutches. Nuckalls has thrown the twelve- ound hammer 165 feet, the world's record eing 173 feet. Weller and Brown of Ukiah are also doing well. Volz and Ligda of the Berkeley High | School are putting the shot over the rec- | ord. Fred Lemman of Santa Rosa and Dunker of the Polytechnic are also prom- ising candidates for henors in this direc- ion. Henley of Ukiah {s jumping better than ever. Costello seems his hardest op- ponent in the broad jump. - ATHLETICS AT STANFORD. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 16.— For the past week the cinder path and oval have been utilized by crowds of ath- letes training for the different class meets. Every man in the junior and freshman classes who has athletic ability Is putting forth his best efforts to “make” his class team, which is becoming an honor second only to that'of being a member of the big team. The junior track team meets the Ukiah High School team on the latter's grounds ford in this meet are Foster, Bennett, | Wardall, Harter, Lawrence, Bowman. | Ferrari and Cantwell. The class team is weakened by the absence of Stewart, Strout and Symonds, the stars of the team. While this contest is in progress at Ukiah the freshmen will meet the Oak- land High School team on the coliege track. As this has become an annuai event the contest will be a hard fought one. The 1903 team will consist of McCaugh- | ern, Hart and Lyons in the sprints; Smith Baker, Nikirk, John, Nourse, Tra.agfi o and Preston in the distances; grg?er‘;nrramore and DeWitt in the hur- dles: Preston and_Thompson in the walk; Parker, Brooke, Treager. John and Pol- lard in the weights; Dole, Beach, Luck and Denton in the vault, and Narramore, Lyons, McCullough, Dole, Palmer, Luck and Beach in the jumps. The baseball men continue slowly’on the up grade, the battery and fielding showing the most improvement. Errors by the in- flelders are still numerous. SAN MATEO HUNT CLUB. Several members of the San Mateo Hunt Club enjoyed a chase after a live fox last Monday morning. Reynard had been captured and taken to the quarters of the Hunt Club. At about 7 o'clock in the morning he was given his liberty in front of the Burlingame .Country Club house. on _after 8 o'clock eleven couples of PO 4o Trare 1ald on and scon picked up the scent ahd led the horsemen a merry chase. The fox evidently spent some lit- tle time in getting his bearings, but pro- ceeded first in the direction of the golf links and the fields of the Sharon estate. e then made for the hills and rough country, rynning across meadows and into a brook, Sometimes he doubled and crossed his own tracks. Behind the Ba- roilhet house he ran into a thicket and thence struck stnlght out over the hills and into a deep and thickly wooded can- yon. The hounds were hot upon his trail and, as the fox broke cover, he could be seen on the top of a hill, up which the riders followed him. He made for the heavily wooded m“mrg again, taking refuge in a spinney of blue gums, where he scrambled up the trunk of a broken tree. When the hounds came. up he jumped among them and was Kkilled by a puppy named Scarlet, which was at . the club kennel the next to size im being Rockw: and Graceful, hounds which have hunt- d a great deal in Virginia and were B Th no la- TO FRESERVE THE GAME BIRDS OF THIS STATE A Convention of Sportsmen Called to Frame a New Game Law. At a meeting of the Board of Fish Com- missioners, held some days since, the members determined to call a convention of sportsmen to assemble in this city on some day yet to be agreed upon for the purpose of framing a new game law. The manner of organizing the convention has not been determined. 1t is expected the | Fish Commission will appoint a number of delegates at large and will request the Supervisors of the different counties each to_appoint two or more delegates. The courts have seriousiy impaired most of the ordinances rassed by County Boards of Suparvisors regarding game. To correct this state of affairs it is necessary that the next Legislature should make some radical change in_the game laws. The convention will determine what changes are necessary and will then en- deavor to have them adopted. The officials of Marin County are ree ported to be working vn a new law which will limit the quail season to two weeks and the open season for deer to one week. The members of Lincoln Gun Club will hold their 1 shoot at Alameda Point to-morrow. Hereafter the regular shoots of the club wili be held on Ingleside grounds on the third Sunday of each month. Five clubs, some of which pro- mote both livetbird and bluerock shoot- ing, have arranged to shoot at Ingleside, making the venture of the San Francisco Trap Shooting Association an unqualified | success. The officers of Olympic Gun Club have made elaborate preparations for a high Jinks to-night in their clubhouse, Kearny street and Union Square avenue. The en- tertainment will include a number of well- known singers and mimics in the choicest bits in their repertoire. The new officers of Union Gun Club are: President, E. S. Michelson; vice president, Joseph Pisani; secretary treasurer, T. L. Lewis, and captain, T. O. Fisher. The first appearance of the members at the traps this season will be made to-morrow at the Ingleside grounds of San Fran- cisco Trap Shooting Association. [ e ol o fe ok e o e o o o ] dies out the brush, head and one of the pads were presented to the master, F. J. Carolan, and will-be mounted for the ken- nels. Peter Martin, Duncan Hayne and E. D, Beylard each received one of the ads. Among those who followed the ounds were Francis J. Carolan; the hunt servants, Keating and Johnson; Duncan Hayne, C. Dunphy, Peter Martin, E. D. Beylard, R. M. Tobin. Messrs. Parson and Tracy and three or four others. To-day the meet will be at the Howard woods at 4:15 p. m., near the Crystal Springs road, and on Saturday, the 24th inst., at Wellesley Park. 'wood, where J. Downey Harvey will entertain the members of the hunt at luncheon at 1 p. m. These fixtures are changes from the programme as originally prepared. GREYHOUNDS OF . CLASS RUNNING | AT TWO PARKS Champion Stakes the Attrac- tion at Both Ingleside and Union Coursing Fields. The management of Ingleside Coursing Park has arranged a series of chkmpion stakes, the first of which will be decided to-morrow afternoon. The stake is am in- vitation one, which enabled the park man- agement to select such dogs as it thought | would make exciting coursing. [he en- | tries are: Hawker, Flora McDonald, Lily |of the West, Connemara, Golden Rule, Rocker, Beacon and Master Clair. This stake will be run after luncheon to-mor- | row. The first round of the 3-dog open | stake will be run this afternoon, eom- mencing at 1 o'clock to-morrow at 11 a. m.

M. 1 ealey contem- | plates sending his great greyhound Wave | on to be bred to Russell, Allen & Wilson's dog St. Clair, the sire of the rated Clairs. _Her litters by Rusty Gold and Emin Pasha have all proved wonderful performers. M. London's Magneto sustained a badly cut foot on Wednesday on the way to | Union Park. The dog was at his best, but will be on the shelf for some time. Frank McComb has been placed in charge of the Sterl & Knowles Kennels, and an improvement is expected in the performances of the dogs. The Lopez Kennels have sustained the loss of McGregor, a promising young dog. He became frightened while being exercised and ran away from his kennel | mates. As is their nature they set upon him and killed him. Among the latest recruits to the leash- men’s ranks is Captain J. H. Mulally of | Seventh and Market streets. He has pur- chased the black dog Precede and is pre- paring him for the running. P. J. Graves, a well-known sportsman of Seattle, dropped into the city early | this week, and during his stay visited | both coursing parks, with a view to in- augurating the sport in the north during the coming summer. Although a long way off, the Futurity stake, to be run next September, is al- ready engaging attention. In point of en- try and prizes it will so far exceed any thing ever before attempted in this coun- try that all past events will be enshroud- | ed in a deep shadew. It will also attract | the leashmen of the entire country to the coast, including. beyon L. S. Bartels, Samuel Handy, | Donahue. Nichols and probably Dr. Hum- mell. The event is for greyhounds whelped since January 1, 1599, and during |lha[ period more youngsters of quality first saw light in California than during any period of double the time before. It was a banner year for breeding, and the class of dog bred insures results that will advertise California throughout the St. Lawrence was bred . J. Henry's Valley Queen on Feb- ruary 19. Valley Queen is the dam of many noted performers on the open at Merced and also on the enclosed coursing fields. Bartels Brothers’ Hughie (Imp.) h: mated with the same ownmers’ Bart's Belle. Arthur Massey’s Hot Stuff has been bred to J. C. O'Donnell’'s Dora B (Imp.). Eugene Geary’s Bonnle Lass, the dam of Ireland, Erin, Palo Alto and America, has been mated with Bartels Brothers’ Hughie, and much is expected of the pro- eny.
