USHERS IN BASEBALL SEASON Immense Crowd of Fanatics Watches Henry Harris’ Rejuvenated Nine Punish the Senators’ Star Pitcher. the Ball Over the Right Field Fence Reilly Knocks ELD by a wintry discontent for four months, the baseball fanat- ics set out for the Recreation grounds yesterday afternoon to see the Wasps and the Senators do the special opening turn that ushered in the season of 1801. Every local en- thusiast, and there were more than enough of them to pack the grounds be- yond séating capacity, fell right into his shouting element as if there had been no breach in the league games. When the day was done Hank Harris pet nine threw their chests out and walked off the field victors by,a score of 11 to 2. “Never was there such an opening be- fore,”” said Mr. Bonnet. *“Who ever heard of people being turned away from a base- ball game just because the stands and grounds were packed?” Such was the case, The crowd was of the genuine baseball order, ready to shout for any old thing that came over the plate or traveled toward the fences. And what a revelry it was for the local nine, that just splattered Doyle's curves as if he pever knew what shoots or curves mean! e Scn ORESTERS - = : - wARTZ AND THE BAT GIVEN T HiM 8> THE - KRuG.

PHOENIX, Ariz, March 3L—A gold stpike of good proportions has just been le in the Maricopa range of moun- tains, about nine miles south of Phoenix. The strike is in no way of a sensational nature, but a dozen long ledges, bearing rock assaying at an average of $20 per ton, are being uncovered. 3 out, and Sheehan, who traveled to the first station on a pass, was wrecked at the middle bag by Graham's fine throw. Eagan, who was safe at first on an error by Schwartz, crossed the rubber when Courtney let loose a long drive to right field. Courtney did not reach the third bag on his hit, being caught between that sack and the second by Schwartz's clever throw. The second inning and the ninth gave Frisco bunches of runs on long hits. The Senators chased the spheroid over the far away flelds, and the Wasps jogged around the bags for bell ringing by’ the scorer. Tburg displayed his old-time coolness and his good pitching strength in the fourth inning. Eagan, Courtney and Hanlon choked the three sacks, and no Senator had as vet been buried. Me- Taughlin was at the plate. and after six fouls over the fences and into the stands he died on an infield fly. Then Doyle flew to Jagger, but Eagan scored on the throw in. That was all the Senators could put through the house. Of Hank's new men, Holland gives promise of being just the proper thing. Josh Reilly, who was used at third tem- porarily. made a_good showing in the field and with the stick. Jagger was nervou. off color and has oceans of room for im- provement.

Scores of the Various Shooting O>- ganizations Which Held Monthly Events for Prizes and Medals. The attendance was light at the Shell Mound range yesterday, but in spite of the small number of contestants, scores were exceptionally good. The chief event of the day, from point of interest, was the shooting of Company A, Fifth Infantry, National Guard of California, selected members of which competed with a picked team of crack shots from the University of California. Ten men from each organization were chosen to compete for -honors. The Springfield rifle was used and the shoot- ing was at 200 yards at a Blunt target. The university men shot Saturday on ac- count of regulations forbidding them to contest on Sunday and the Company A men were unable to be present until yes- terday, so the contest had to be divided. The college boys won by a margin of 13 points with a total of 428 against 415 points | made by their opponents. & The results of the shooting are as fol- ows: University of California—W. B.

HANDBALL THAT WAS EXCITING AND CLOSE Beginning of the Olympic Doubles Tournament in the Club Courts. That the game of handball has a firm hold on the members of the Olympic Club | was evidenced yesterday by the large crowd that watched the opening games of the doubles tournament. Counter attrac- tions were many, but the devotees of the great Irish game were there in numbers and were as enthusiastic as a band of | youngsters just out of school. Some bril- ilant games were played by the contest- ants, but the most exciting contest of the day was that between Jack Gleason and | Louis Levy against Judge A. J. Fritz and Matt Breen. The former team won the rally by a score of 51 to 49. Despite the fact that Gleason had played eight games in the morning and was suf- fering from a bad knee, he went into the game with a determination to win. Fritz and Breen were seventeen points in the lead at the outset of the game, but Gleason and Levy pulled themselves to- gether and not only made it “up sticks,” but passed them. Then Fritz and Breen played hard and tied Gleason and Levy at 43, With_three points to go, the players buckled down to closer work. The spec- | tators were deeply interested in the out- | come and keenly watched the play. Fritz and Breen were retired without making a point, and then Gleason and Levy se- cured two. Gleason tried to “kill” the ball, but failed, and then Fritz and Breen | entered again. but were quickly retired. The winning team managed to secure an- other point, and so did Fritz. The game was now 30 to 49. Gleason was put out on | the first tos Levy then tried. and in his anxiety to make the point tossed the ball twice among the spectators. He sent out a difficult ball to Fritz, and the latter re- turned it to the front wall. Gleason ended things by a low smash. Johnuny Mallon and Jack Tait were awarded a game through the default of Oatie Crable, who was to have played with Billy Kennedy. Henry R and Tom Kennedy outclassed J. K. Burke and Gus Ebner, beating them by a_score of 51 to 30. Hobby Bowman and T. Curley had an easy time with Billy Cartwright and L. V. Starr. The ldtter played in poor form and the brunt of the work fell on Cartwright. The score was 51 to 2. Nat Hewson and A. Duffy defeated Phil New- | man and A. Pockwitz in a close struggle. Hewson sent out a low hard toss that was hard to solve. and tried to vlay the entire game. Had he given his clever partner more of a chance they might have won out. Score 51 | to 47. To-morrow night the following games will be plaved: Guy Ransome and Max Rosenfeld (allowed 12 aces) vs. Jerry Johnson and Tom Powers (allowed 15 aces); J. Cunningham .and T. I.

H. McCarthy, one of the Civil Service Commissioners and the | presiéent of the Building Trades Council: ! EDITOR THE CALI As I was the first one in the San Francisco Labor Council to opposs the action of P. H. McCarthy in secking to boy- cott the San Francisco Baseball League, will you permit me an explanation through your columns® | “On the evening of Friday, March 15, a d gate from the Varnishers’ and Polishers” Union informed the Council that owing .to the fact that Henry Harris, manager and part owner | of the San Francisco Baseball Club, had em- ployed non-union help on his cigar store making alterations and improvements, throu | the West Coast Furniture Comvany, he | quested the delegates to report to their respect- ive unions that the California Baseball League be declared unfalr when the San Francisco Baseball Club played. On motion made by myself the matter was referred to the executive board to tame action on the following Wednesday evening. I began an investigation at once and established these First—That the contract let to the West Coast Furniture Company was not let by Mr. Harrls, but by his partner, Mr. Goodman, and that he was ignorant until after the contract was signed that the West Coast Furniture Company T Second_That Mr. Harris spectsl | ond— g s ifled in th - | tract let for the work done on the ball grounds that said work must be done by union labor. Third—That Mr. Harris was the owner of but one-third of the San Francisco Baseball Club; that the other two-thirds were owned by | T. F. Bonnet and E. Bert, both strong uniom | supporters, and in no way connected with Mr. Harris in the cigar and tobacco business, and that a boycott on the San Francisco Basebaill | Club_would be an injury to Mr. Bonmet and | Mr. Bert, both innocent parties to the grievance of the Varnishers’ and Polishers’ Union, Fourth—That as a matter of fact the entire Mmatter emanated from the fertile brain of P. H. McCarthy, who had used his position in the Buflding ‘Trades Council to vent his per scpal and political spite, not on Harris, but ‘on Bonnet, :hol had assailed him and his do- ings as a Civil Service Commi: t e Ry ssioner in his calied on Edward Rosenbe: ¥ the San Francisco Labor Council; ang obtajned his permission to have the officers of the Cali- fernia Baseball League appear before the ex- ecutive board on the following Wednesday evening.
