There is another reason for this desire to double up a little on the schedule. T..e Northern California League is to begin an early schedule, so that the Southern Call- fornia schedule will have to be cut short about three weeks. This means a loss to the managers, unless they find a way to even matters up. With four games a week it ssible to make up for the loss of FOLLOWERS| % yme of the April games.

The National Shooting Bund has adopt- ed a programme for the approaching fes- tival. Encouraging reports have been re- celved from the vafious committees. D. B. Faktor of the prize committee reported that the success of that committee had exceeded the most sanguine expectations, He has received in cash or positive as- surance over sixty prizes, ranging in value from $190 to $2500. The festival programme covers a period from July 13 to July 26, and includes a torchlight procession, day parade. for civic - and military organizations, recep- tion to visitors by the Mayor and munlcfi- pal officers, formal opening of the festi- val, reception by the Governor and his staff on California day, an international Gay, army and navy and National Guard singers’ and Turners’ day, banquet excursions on the bay and into the inte- night at Shell Mound Park. ———— The strength of wood Increases with its density, has been com(Pfled through the careful ef- forts of the California Coursing Commii- tee and Secretary George Malcolm, and is a standard work of itz kind.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 15— Stanford varsity nine will make its first | and probably only appearance for the sea- | son in San Francisco to-morrow, when Captain Edwards will take his men out to the Sixteenth and Folsom street grounds for a second game with the Fire- man’s Fund team. When the two teams met two weeks ago the insurance men carried the day by a 10 to 9 score. To-morrow the cardinal aggregation will be little better than jt was two weeks ago on account of a lack | of practice, du¢ to the inclement weather. However, the individual work of some of | the members of the team may be tm- proved. Conner at third and Traeger, catcher, should give a better account of themselves than before. Parker should also show improved form, as he went into the first match with scarcely a warning that he would be called upon to do the twirling. The early part of the week was given over to-class games, which also had the effect of detracting from team work. Much interest is being taken by those who are trying for places on the cross- country relay team, which will compete in the Olympic meet in San Francisco on Washington’s birthday. The competitors are W. R. Hamilton '02, J. Zschokke 01, E. M. Chadbourne ‘02, J. Taylor '04, M. A. Thomas '04, H. M. Lewis '04, F. 8. Holman ‘04, C. Naramore '03, H. A. Sprague '04 and C. Elkus "04. Track Captain Stewart has not put his men to work out of doors yet, as the track is not in shape for use. In another week it is thought that everything will be in readiness for the squads to begin active training. The freshmen have a meet scheduled with the Oakland High School for March 16. The next week they will contest, with the University of Nevada team at Reno, BERKELEY, Feb. 15.—The track men have finished their light work, and now under Trainer Christie they have taken regular practice. All of last year's team, with four exceptions, are on the track. Jack Hoffman, the vauiter, has competed four times and. is ineligible to intercol- legiate contests. um, the sprinter; Moser, and Broughton have left college. California has no vaulter to comg%:e with Henley and Cutter of Stanford. e only possibility is Woolsey, who may come close to Henley's record. Cooley and Cheek, both freshmen, are good men for the high jump. Hursey and Topham are strong men for the broad Jum}m Cad- ogan and Abadie will look after the sprints. Service, Cregan, Bailey, Clifford and Redewell are all good distance men. Hamlin, Thomas, Cheek and Powell are out for the high hurdles and Powell and Thomas for the low hurdles. Plaw, Wool- sey.

The South End Rowing Club is not yet quite ready to begin practice for the com- ing season, though Dr. C. Deni and his barge crew have gone out geveral times ulready. The lack of a float, how- ever, makes launching a boat difficult, the old float having collapsed in one of the heavy winter storms. A contract to re- pair and keep in order for a year all the boats of the club will be prepared by one of the members of the South Ends and will be presented to Al Rogers for signa- ture. —_——— FLYCASTERS AT WORK. The San Francisco Flycasting Club will hold the first of its annual club contests for 1901 at Stow Lake, Golden Gate Park, to-day. The first event will be called at half-past 2 o'clock. As it is the opening day, and as the contestants have not met since September last, a large representa- tion is expected. During the season thir- ty-two contests will be held, eight of which will be re-entry contests for classi- fication. On Saturdays the meetings will be held at 2:30 p. m., and on Sundays at 10 a. m. The dates which have been arranged are as follows: ’ ebruary 16 and 17; 2, Februa: 25 onaS; 5, March 3 and 10; 4.

The road racing committee of the Cali- fornia Associated Cyclists is. making ac- tive preparations for the annual twenty- five mile handicap of the assoclation to be held over the San Leandro triangle. The date was originally set for Wash- ington’s birthday, but the constant rains have cut the course up to such an extent that it has been postponed, and will be held efther on the following Sunday, Feb- ruary 24, or on March 3. The members | be begun in | les on_which the .new clubhouse | f This will also | give the riders more time in which to | train, and should result in a better race. Owing to the postponement the entry list s still open and entries may be sent to Thomas G. Spillane, chairman of the racing committee, at the Olympic Club un- il next Saturday. Through the_ efforts of the committee the American Bicycle Company has been induced to offer as prizes for this race two bicycles, one to be given to the win- ner, the other to any rider who lowers the existing record of 1:08:26, made by C. M. Smith in 1888, The Olympic Wheelmen will hold a try out over the Almshouse and Ingleside road to-morrow in prepatation for this race, and the winner of this try out will be given a special prize donated by W.

The Superior Court Judges of San Fran- cisco have taken to the courts in which there is no bar, the lime-lined asphalt o the California Tennis Club. Judges Hunt and Troutt, two very en- thusiastic devotees, play nearly every ternoon and as a result are improv yery rapidly. George Lane, another new man, is making great strides of late and will soon be heard from. Judge Sloss and Judge Kerrigan have expressed L A ir in- tention of joining the California Club, and as Judges Hunt and Troutt and City and County Attorney Lane are already mem- bers, there should at least be order on the Jocal courts. The University of California tennis try- out will be held next week and will be productive of some good matches, as a number of high class players will enter. From present indications the biue and gold will be represented by Reuben Hunt and Paul Selby in singles and Drummond McGavin and Selby in doubles. A new ten- nis court is being built adjacent to the court on the campus. The men who will probably play for Stanford are Harry Weihe and Wiktam Roth in singles and Wiehe and Adams, the famous pony team, in doubles. Although things are rather quiet across the bay at present, the future is very promising. The ladies of the Alameda Tennis Club will elect officers next week for the ensuing year. A handicap doubles tournament for the Davis cup will be_played on the local courts to-morrow. Teams already formed that will undoubtedly compete are Crow- ell and Colller, Jones and O'Brien, R. N. Whitney and Stauf. Fay Beal and Chet, Smith, F. J. and G. W. Lane, Erskine ::M Young, and Rosenberg and Hodgkin: Others who will take rt, but as yet have no partners, are Johnson, D. McGavin, Cornell and Kuehn. On Washington's birthday there will be a handicap singles tournament open to all.
