TRAP SHOOTING, BASEBALL, FISHING, COURSING, may not equal some former openings on account of it falling on a Monday, it is confidently expected that there will be very little unfished water in convenient streams when the shades of night have fallen on this the initial day of the sea- son. Little can be expected of the big streams at this early stage, such as the McCloud, How- ever, reports from these streams state the season is fully a month in advance of last year. If this be true these streams should afford good fishing by the middle of the month.

Up to the present time come closely contested races have bezn on the programmes of the various trap-shooting clubs. The above pic- tures represent some of the most prominent trap-shooters in this city. The trap-shooting event on the programme for to-morrow will be an open-to-all handicap live- bird shoot at Ingleside, under the auspices of the Union Gun Club. It will be a six-bird race, high bird to win; entrance fee, $1 50. A club shoot at twelve birds will be also one of the events.

The committee appointed by the presi- dent of the California Cricket Assocla- tion to prepare a schedule of matches for the seacon of 1901 consists of the captains of last year's teams—R. B. Hogue of the lamedas, H. C. Casidy of the Pacifics Arthur Dickenson of the Californias. stay | As the California member of the schedule committee has made no sign and no reply has been recelved by the secretary of the association to’ a letter addressed to the secretary of the Californias the schedule committee will. make up a list of matches between the Alameda, Pacific, Sacra- mento and Santa Cruz Cricket clubs for the penrant. If the Californias should find themselves able to put a team into the field open dates can be utilized for matches between it and the other elevens. The Burns Valley Cricket Club of Lake County recently held:its annual meeting, at which the following officers were elect- ed: G. R. Webber, president; R. Keat- inge and W. B.

The: specials are expected to bring out the keenest competition. No pedigree is need- ed to show a dog and when once before the judge the dog stands entirely on its owy_merits. The Pacific Bull Terrier Club has decid- win, but there are five men of almost equal merlt for second place. The times of four of them at least are practically the same and the man who follows Cado- gan past the tape is yet unpicked. The men for second place are Squires, Hussey, Brown, Townsend and Lidga. Clifford, Pedewill 2nd Gustafson are likely men for second place in the mile run. Bailey, on account of illness, will not compete.

His position is being filled by Phelan, a new man, and by Barker. Freshman Phelan is a strong batter and may develop into a good glove holder. Barker is familiar with the position be- hind the bat and is a strong hrower. At the bat he is weak and his base-running is slow. Adams Is coming up in practice and may give King a close rub for the second bag. The other positions in the team remain unchanged. The men have been worked steadily and several complain of staleness. To over- come a possibility of overtraining some of the men will ease in their practice. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 29. The athletes of Stauford are reaching their best physical condition and what time is left for training will hereafter be given to the attainment of form in the varfous field and track events. The try- out field day held this morning showed some good material among the new men, while the varsity men come up to expect- atlons. Henley's work is of such a sort that he can always be dcpended upon. The fact that he had no cne to push him to his best accounts for records not beiag better. In the distances and sprints Stan- | ford will be much stronger than last year, as is also the case .n the weights and hurdies, though comparatively weak in the latter event. Since the last shake-up the varsity ball team has put up a better exhibition of the national game. Errors are fewer, while the hittin® is heavier and better placed Murphy has set the pace for his less skilled companions in the matter of base- stealing and sliding, with the result that 2 number of stolen’ bags are credited to the more clever runners. Traeger, the big varsity tackle of football fame, is con- ducting himself with credit on the fnital bag. while his ability with the stick has noticeably strengthened the scoring quali- ties of the team. Though the coming week will ba tha annual Easter vacation season Coach Murphy will keep his men together and busy himself with putting the finishing tduches upon them for the first zame o~ the intercollegiate series, which takes place on the Berkelev campus on Satur- day, Arm 6. In this match Stanford will be stronger in the pitcher's box than most people ex- pect who judge of Parker's and Bennett's work by what they saw In the earlier games. Though neither can be called an expert, both have made wonderful devel- opment in the manner of control and are able to keep their hits scattered. With good support they should Piteh a steady game. In fielding their positions they are equally capabie. OXFORD IS THE FAVORITE. LONDON, March 2.—The Oxford and Cambridge crews have finished their prac- tice.

It was the | intention of the tennis managers to hold the matches at Berkeley, but as there is but one court there the idea was imprac- ticable, | A round robin tournament is in prog- | ress _at Berkeley, in which Paul Selby has beaten all of the other four contest- ants and has thereby won a place on the singles team as well as the doubles. Seiby defeated Drummond MecGavin, Fred Brown, Baker and Dibert. He had some trouble beating McGavin, with whom it was necessary to play the full five sets, but het disposed of the other three con- testants rather easily. But one other match has been played, that between Drummond McGavin and Fred Brown. This was a most stubborn contest and with two sets to the credit of each Me- Gayin finally won the deciding set, 10-8. Reuben Hunt. California’s strongest player, has expressed his intention of tak- ing no part in the intercollegiate contests, owing to a lack of time. Heretofors it has been customary for three men to rep- resent each college, but with Hunt out of it California will probably be represented in both singles and doubles by Selby and McGavin, Collier and Crowell played a match on Saturday at Stanford with Weihe and Adams and one at Menlo on Sunday. The ponies won on their own courts, but wers beaten at Menlo. Adams and Wethe have always been considered a strongsr team than their opponents, and the fact that they only broke even with them shows that, they will have to do considerable yracllrlng to beat the University of Cali- ornia doubles team. In the singles Weihe should have little trouble in winning his match, but the other singles event will probably be won by California, and thus the doubles will be the deciding event. There will be a straight handicap sin- gles tournament on the local courts to- morrow. On Tuesday a tourpament for the ladles’ championship of Alameda County and the Gutte Cup will be held at Alameda. There is some doubt as to whether Miss Hunter or Mrs. Haslett I8 the E sent champion, and this &uuunn will be declded on Tuesday, as both of the ladles will play. .
