They will meet again in a twenty-round rt of this month in Woodward’s Pavilion for 50 per cent of the gate receipts. That the bout will be an interesting one is evidenced by the splendid battle they put up two months ago before the same club. Ring-goers have been anxious to see these two fel- ws meet again, and it is certafn they will draw a large house. It will be re- memb that Cribb and Thurgton fought twenty flerce rounds to a draw. “he “Fighting Dutchman,” as Thurston surprised every one by his showing against the stasoned n pugilist. The bout was fast and furious from the opening to the elos- ing round. Thurston is certain that he can defeat Cribb. and the latter is as cer- tain that he can take the local man's measure. Thurston ha8 been training two hours a day for the past three weeks to prepare himself for his contest with the Australian. Alec Gregeains. his manager and adviser, will take the Dutchman into the country to give him a week’s rest prior to going into active training.

U ftanford will be strong in the jumps, sprints, distances and pole vault, and weak in the hurdles and weights. Henley, the crack athlete from Uklah, is conceded two firsts in the jumps, and it is claimed that his work for the cardinal will make a difference of twenty-five s in the annual field day. he sprints Stanford has two stars in McCaughern and Lamb. The former won = hundred last year and took a place in yvard dash. The latter comes to Stanford from Lo% Angeles with some records. Hamilton of Palo Alto. a bhman, who was a crack in the Academic League last year, is looked to as a possible point winner in the sorints. These three men, together with Harter, Nourze and Stewart, will make a strong representation for places in the short events. \ The longer sprint will be looked after by Smith, R. Hamilton and Chadbourne of Jast year's team, with Slaker, Taylor. Holman, Thomas. Kennedy, and Knight among ihe untried candidates. Zschokke, Sprague, Hamilton, Taylor and Chad- bourne, who composed the champion cross-country icam. will all try for placés in the m'le run. The mile walk will go to either Lewis '04 or Zschokke '02. Richards ‘04, Dunn '04, Barkan ‘04 Johnson 02, Naramore '03 and Strout '01 have entered for the hurdles, with the chances in favor of the two lnst named. Henley is expect- ed to_take first nlace in both the high and broad jumps and a place in the pole vault. Beach, Dole and Foster will enter these events with him. Stanford’s weakest dolint is the welghts, Brooke, Berwick. Slaker, Hyde and Clarke are the only men who have shcwn any aptitude for these events so far. The material will not be tried out until | i\l"grh 29, when an interclass meet will be held.

March 8.—The sophomores and freshmen of the University of Call- fornia will meet to-morrow afternoon on the college track in their annual field day. Owing to the short time the athletes have had in which to practice no danger is an- tictnated for the records. The freshmen have a team full of men with eood High 8chool records. They will be expected to show thelr mettle in this meet. and to give an idea of what sort of material future varsity teams will ne mnde from.

YACHTSMEN TO ROLL ROCKS INTO THE BAY The Corinthlans will go over to thelr clubhouse at "Miburon In force to-morrow. | The club bought an old bay scow which was damaged In one of the winter storms | wenterly side of the point, It ie intended to fill up the space between the scow and the shore with rocks and to use the space thus gained for the purpose of taking apars, salls and equipment of all kinds from the yachts to the shore or putting such_things aboard the yachts. Hitherto the float on the easterly side of the club quarters has been used for these purposes and has frequently been so cumbered with | matertal as to cause considerable incon- venience. The proposed extension of the | club premises will be very useful, espe- | clally during the perfod elapsing between | bridge-raising day and the opening day of the yachting season. Some of the owners are going to have all they can do to get thelr craft into commission for opening | day, especially as the bridge is not to be | raised until the 24th. Things are so pros- | perous along the city front that few zood ship carventers can be obtained and Boat- keeper John Norly will find it hard to get all the help he wants. George E. Billings’ sloon Nixfe and the ark La Boheme are still on Swanson's ways at Tiburon, but will soon come off. At the recent meeting of Corinthian yacht owners the question was raised whether Jack Short was an owner or not, but was not pressed to a decision. Now, however, it 1s understood that Short ha made an arrangement with Mre. C. O. Taylor for the ~yacht Emma, formerly owned by the late C. G. Tavlor. The weli- known large sloops Embla and Sappho will sail with the Corinthians this year, as also will the little Pride. As the own: ers’ meeting a “‘cabin yacht” was define as one having substantial cabin accom- modations forming a part of the perma- nent structure of the craft. The defini- tlon of a “Corinthian” yachtsman was left to be decided at a later time. The regatta committee will determine whether the one-gun start s to be adopted in the races to be held this season or not. An effort will be made during 1001 ta have the correct measurements of all vachts entered on the club roll. A rule has long existed to this effect, but has been entirely disregarded. < It is said that Charles Chapman of th Vallejo Yacht Club is_desirous to send in a challenge for the San Francisco Per- petual Challenge Cup, which was lost last year by the San Francisco representa- tive, tha sloon Gadder, sailed by Chap- man, The Ban Franciscos are also anx- fous to try to regain the trophy which thay held for one year. 3 o Arcturus. owned by W. 8.

Leary is a cripple, but this fact does not retard his speed in the water. He has developed into a fast man in the water during the past few months. He has great strength and has adopted the strokes introduced by Cavill and is now able to cut through the water like a fich. Carroll is one of the best swimmers on the coast, He has won | A number of events and his friends belleve he will defeat Leary. He and Leary are | closely matched as regards speed. Brewer is one of the fastest quarter-mile swim- mers in the United States. He has de- feated the best men in the country and the Lurline Swimming Club places fts hopes in his prowess. The rivalry be- tween this club and the Post-street men has always been intense. More than a dozen events have been ar- ranged for the club swimmers. There will be a fifty-yard handicap, a twenty- five-yard dash. springboard diving, diving | for plates, a blindfolded race, and a re- lay race between teams chosen from the Olympic Club and the Academic Athletic League. Five men from each organiza- tion will take part in this event and the victorious team will be awarded a hand-\ scme trophy. The races will be held in the club’s big tank. The officlals will be chosen a few days before the contests, and in the event that the 220-vard record is broken it will be recogmized. The management of Sutro Baths has prepared an excellent natatorfal pro- gramme for to-morrow afternoon. There will be a number of events and the best amateur swimmers in this city will pag- ticipate. Following is the list of events and entries: Fifty-yard dash, juveniles—E. Maulan, J. B. McManus, B. Ferrill, J. Boggs. D. Chase, A. Fernandez, F. Downs, G. Nlrh: ols, A. Courtney, J. Dugan, A.

COMMENCING FROM THE LEFT, 'GUNMEN WILL OPEN THE SEASON. Trap Shooters Ready for the First Con- tests at Ingleside The trap-shooting season practically opens to-morrow. It is true that the Union Gun Club held a meeting last Sun- day, but it was purely preliminary to the regular season. To-morrow the four big clubs will inaugurate the season of 1901 The best wing shots on the coast will shatter bluerocks and pigeons at Ingle- side end-at Alameda Point. All the cracks have ofled their guns and laid in a stock of shells in preparation for the sport. The California Wing Club will shoot live birds sprung from their new set of under- ground traps at Ingleside. It was the in- tention to use them last Sunday, but the club decided to open the ball to-morrow. These new traps have been voted a suc- cess. The birds are piaced into them from underground and a dog is stationed in the deep cleft behind the traps and retrieves with speed. This means a great saving of time. The San Francisco Gun Club will bluerocks at Ingleside. It will be first club shoot of the season and a large number of members expected to be present. The Empire Gun Club will hold its open- ing shoot at Alameda Point to-morrow. Bluerocks will be the target. Quite a delegation of experts will jour- ney East the latter part of next month to particivate in the grand American handi- cap. which will be held in New York from April 1 to 6, inclusive. Clarence Nauman, the local crack. will lead the vanguard, Nauman is looked upon as being one of the best trap-shooters in the West, and his friends believe that he will make a showing against the Eastern cracks. Tod Sloan and Johnny Coleman shot at Ingleside last Thursday afternoon in a fiftv-bird race. Sloan was defeated by the bookmaker. Coleman secured forty-five birds out of fifty, and Sloan could only drop thirty-eight. A dinner was pald for by the loser. o SIS Encinal Yacht Club’s Officers.

Regular Open Stakes the Order of Events at Present Time Leashmen predict that our local Fu- turity stake of 1%2 will go on record as the greatest of its kind in the history of the coursing world. Quite a number of breedings, the get of which will be eligible for the big event, have been filed recently with the Califor- nia Coursing Committee. In reviewing the list the best cross logk to be; Beacon to The Eram, fmp. Crawford Lad, imp., to Minneola; Emin Pasha to Flyaway, Arnette, Dalsy Hill, Lady Thorndyke, Little Wonder, Maggie N, Miss Skyrocket and Pet Kirby; Fetter Free, imp., to Cash, Rockette and High Born Lady; Fine Fire, imp., to Bed of Stone and Maid of Erin; For Freedom., imp.. to Fair Helen, Metallic and Pretty rl. The last named fs, n the opinion of coursing men, the best cross of the year. Pretty Girl is by St. Lawrence, out of ‘Wee Lassie III, and is a sister of Bohe, Controller and Lady Davenport. She ts bred on strong lines and in her coursing career was not given any severe going that may affect the strength of her Iit. ters. Other breedings are Fortuna Fa- vente, fmp., to Brilllantine, Lightfoot and Dawn, the latter the dam of P. J. Rellly’s good performers, Royal Union and The Grafter; Pretender to Butter Scotch and Dolly Varden; Glaucer, imp.. to Still Faster, sister of Bonnle Lass, dam of Palo Alto; Shylock, imp., to Crawford Braes, who has proved herself one of the best greyhounds ever coursed in America.

Interclub and Handi- cap Events Are on Several Programs Since the first Introduction of golf into California tournaments have never been S0 numerous in this neighborhood as at the present time. The famous prof. als, Willle Smith and David Bell played thefr skill at Oakland on March 1 and 2 and at the Presidio on March 5 and 6. giving five exhibitions of golfing on all four days. Though Bell took a higher place than Smith in the United States oven championship of 19%. being beaten only by the famous Englishmen, Harry Vardon and J. H. Taylor, Smith has beaten Eell throughout almost the whole Those who saw Smith and Bell play at Oakland and San Franclsco were inclined to think Bell the more brilllant golfer, but somewhat care- less and erra Smith, on the other hand, played an accurate, steady game, driving, approaching and putting well and getting out of the few difficuities into which he fell with wonderful skill. The Oakland course, not having had so long to dry out, and being of a heavy adobe sofl, with some low lying spots, was some- what heavy, though the putting greens were in excell condition. The falr green on the Presidio course was never in better condition and was favored by the visitors. With regard to the comparative merits of himself and Vardon, Smith stated that he had met Vardon in five matches and had won two out of the five. He s that Vardon plays with machinelike re ularity, is equally good in all d ments of the gameé-and has an air confldence that is very disconcerting some opponents.

Though it i8 not to be expect- >d that the San Franciscans can save the Caro Crocke! match, they will probably reduce the heavy score against them. This afternoon the opening match play nd of the fourth contest for the Coun- cup for_men will be held on the links of the San Francisco Golf Club, thd eight players who qualified being matched as follows: Hugh Tevis vs. Charles Page, W. H. La Boyteaux vs. H. C. Goleher, H. C. Breeden Captain D. J. Rumbaugh and 8. L. Abbot Jr. va. J. W. Byrne. Last Saturday a team of six members of the Sausalito Golf Club visited San Ra- fael, where they played an eighteen-hole match agalnst an equal_number of the home golfers. The San Rafael men won easily, Dr. H. O. Howitt beating R. W. Mason 5 up, E. L. Griffith defeating R. B. Findley 4 up, C. P. Pomeroy and Lieu- tenant Rodman tving. A. A. Curtis wh ning from A. J.

Priz professionals. will be given in monmey; amateurs will receive plate. Both Smith and Bell are plaving in this event.
