FRANCISCO LL, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1991 . SPORTS . COLLEGE ATHLETICS -~ COURSING - YACHT on Berkeley's part will send the (’ardh’:z‘l] mer. homeward rejoicing. From compari- =ons of games played and of the individ- 1 ability of each man on the two teams Californig’s supporters maintain that the local nine is the superior. Prectice has been rather light this week, most of the time being bestowed upon the “fine points” and stickwork. Coach orchers and Trainer Christie have got the men in good shape and some lively work is looked for. Smith’s foot is about well rid of its re- cent blood-poisoning. He was on the dia- mond ‘Thursday alternoon for the practice of nearly two weeks. To-mo will see him in his old position behind the bat. Phelan stands ready to take Smith’s place in case the sore foot proves too troublesome, but it is ve: uniike! that he will get the opportunity, for Smith's pluck will hold out even if his foot should go back on him. Overall and Nurse will pitch. It has not been decided which will go into tbe box sirst, but the length of his stay will de- pend upgn the work he do Captain Hunter Will play his position at shortstop. Coach Borchers is enthusi- astic_over Hunter's ability and declares that he oeccupies his place in’a style equal 1o any professional in the country. He is good at the bat and a swift runner. ardiner on first and Braley on t uperfor basemen to King at Gardineg is especiclly good at th Braley occasionally has the appearance . of slumbering during a game, but he man- s to keep one eye on the ball. £ milin is a star fielder and a safe hit- cKeown has become like a new man right field. His inclination for rest s taken out of him by Christie In a rt to heart talk. His latent ability is now show itseif and he plays with a snap unsuspected of him. Flies into left field will be cared for by Kennedy. st nine since practice commenced this season. Some of the positions have been changed and one or two men have gone out, but the team that will play Stanford to-morrow will be composed practically of the men who took the lead in the game early in the play.

WILL OPEN THE SEASON WITH INDOOR JINKS Yachtsmen on Both Sides of the Bau Are Preparing for the Initial Season- al Sail—0dds and Ends employed in preparing for the opening days of the various clubs, which will soon come in quick succession, the Californias opening on Saturday, the 13th, the Corin- thians on the 20th and the San Francis- cos on the 27th. All three clubs have jinks committees, which are hard at work re- hearsing for the entertainments to be given in the clubhouses on Oakland Creek, at Tiburon and at Sausalito. It has hitherto been the custom of the San Francisco Yacht Club to give a dance | on the opening Saturday night, but for | this year at any rate a jinks for men will take the place of the mixed entertain- ment. “he jinks committee consists of ex- | Commodore Dr. T. L. Hill, A. W. Waters and A. F. Broad, chairman, with power |to add two more to their number. The | 8an Francisco Yacht Club has on its roll | 12¢ members, the largest number for many | vears, and during the coming season wiil make great efforts to raise its member- ship to 200. The assistance of Las Amigas, | a ladies’ club, which is composed of the | wives, sisters, daughters and relatives of the members, and which uses the club- house on weekdays, has been enlisted in aid of the yacht club. Concerts and dances will be given, for which the ladies ceeds will be paid into a fund to be ex- ing a large fireplace and a permanent stage, the latter to be built at the south- the clubhouse. In order to encourage men | who are not owners of a vacht to join the club more rowboats will be purchased, as the two already owned by the club are quite insufficient to meet the require- ments. It seems now to be assured that there | will be a race for the Perpetual Challenge | cup this year. Enough money ‘has been promised to begin building. and the plans for the challenging craft are already be- ing prepared by the celebrated designer Crowninshield. The boat will g;obably be built by Matthew Turner of nicia and will be of the centerboard type. - Next Sunday will be the opening day of the California Yacht Club on Oakiand battle In February was the fastest match | Collier, Crowell, Smith, C e ever witnessed before the club. | Kuehn.

In the make-up of the events can be found hounds which are fast enough in any company and sufficiently clever tc negotiate for honors in big events. The Kennel Club committee of arrange- ments, preparing for the coming bench show, has chosen John Bradshaw to of- | ficiate as judge over gréyhounds. As Bradshaw has been ruled off by the California coursing committee for his con- nection with the doping of one of Joe Watkins' hounds at Ingleside some time ago, the question has been asked what action will be taken by the coursing club. While it assumes no jurisdiction over bench shows, it will certainly not sanction the entering of hounds because of the se- lection of Bradshaw. If the Kennel Club will choose some well-known coursing man in good standing to act as judge the com- mittee states that the contripution of good dogs in the greyhound class will be more plentiful. At a meeting of the Vallejo Coursing Club last week D. Hooper was ruled off for administering a stimulant _stronger thau beef tea to a hound in the stake. The case of Hooper has been pending for Rocker to Las Palmas. Union Park presents a strong card for the week’s attraction.

On Monday, April 8, the hounds of the San Mateo pac will be laid on at the kennels at Burlin- game at 9:15 in the morning.
