THE SAN FRANCIS JALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1901 — <+ . yme_/oflfy Vol HE second serles of baseball games is now under way and the contests so far played show enough to prejudge the kind of baseball which will be offered by the California League during the early part of the season. ‘There is no question that the season has opened with every indication of strong popular favor and conditions are such this year that the game can be brought back to its old-time popularity. It is the public that is being served and every demand made by it should be given an attent ear. So far the teams playing in the Cali- fornia League have acquitted themselves on the fleld in good fashion. The rest lies with the managers. Popular verdict has fixed upon the San Francisco and the Los Angeles teams as the two strongest combinations of the league and that impression seems to be founded on facts. But it is too early at this stage of the running to pick out win- ners. The four nines, although settled as to personnel, have not yet crystallized. Ths local team has been experimenting at third and in the right territory. Nordyke, who guards the third station, is not yet in form, but should develop into a good CONDITION OF BLUE AND GOLD MEN NOT GOOD Suffering From Injuries and Over- training—Rest From Work Is| Remedy Prescribed by Coaches RKELEY, April 12.—Most of Cal & track men have been resting since university championship field day, or very light work.

Welch, Game Warden of Santa Cruz, writes to the Fish Commissioners that fishing in his county is unusually good. He says one fortunate angler killed five fish over three pounds in weight in one day in Soquel Creek. Reports from Boulder Creek and vicinify are unusually favorable for this time of the year. Some of the members of the San Fran- cisco Fly Casting Club tell some very in- teresting stories, sworn to be true, about catches made in coast streams since the opening of the season. Colonel William Keller has gone to the McCloud River and will make his head- quarters at Baird for the next month or two. The conditions on the McCloud are said to be favorable.

The baseball | men have been given the most careful | training by Dr. Murphy in order that | some of last Baturday's costly _errors may not be repeated in to-morrow’s game | with Berkeley. The infield will remain without change, but the outfield will be shaken up considerably. Lowenthal at left fleld will give place to Brown, who was in right field, Bennett will go to right | field, while Symonds will remain in the | center garden. Parker will be in the box for Stanford again, and it is expected that his experience in last Saturday’s game will be of much value to him. The infield has shown marked improvement this week and should play its consistent game to- morrow. The tryouts tn decide upon the men who | will represent Stanford upon the track were held last evening. They resulted as i follows: 120-yard hurdle—Naramore, ‘03, first by a vard: Kuhn, '03, second. Time, :17. Mile run—Hamilton, '02, first by two yards; Sprague, ’04, second by thirty yards; Nangle, *03, third.

The second intercollegiate game of the series between the two colleges will be called on the 3tanford campus to-morrow at 3 p. m. A special train will bring the | California people back to the city after | the glee club cencert in the evening. | COLLEGE MEN ON J THE TENNIS COURTS | One week from to-day the intercollegiate | tennis champlonship games will be played at the California Club at Bush and Scott | streets. With the games but one week | off, the uncertainty of the outcome seems | to increase daily. In recent practice games Harry Weihe, | Stanford’s best player, showed that he | has improved much, although he has prac- ticed but little during the past year. Wei- he is probably the quickest man on the cdurts and at volleying he has few su- | periors. William Roth, who will play the | other singles match for Stanford, has been playing very poorly in practice, but.as he {is strictly a tournament player his col- | leagues are not worrying much. Dick Ad- | ams, who will be Weihe's partner in the | doubles, is rather an uncertain element. | Bhould he give his partner any support at-all in doubles their chances will be very 00d. Stanford has a slight advantage Inas- | much as she is represented by three men and will have a fresh man in the doubles, while California is represented by but two | men who will play both singles and dou- les. | _Paul Selby and Drummond McGavin will wield the rackets for Berkeley. Selby is the older and probably better player of | the two, but his partner is very little be- | hind him. McGavin is the youngest player | of the five, but has been playing tennis ever since he could hold a racket.” At imes he plays a remarkable game in prac- tice, but he is a very poor tournament | player.

Sacramento was crippled by the absence of Stanley during segeral of the games of the first series. land and Los An- geles, however, have not suffered in any +* . J | [ such way. They have played their reg- ular teams without suffering a hitch. That no mistake was made in drawing the Los Angeles team into the league is clearly evidenced by“%he enthusiasm mani- fested in that city. In the southern city the people are swelling with basebail ardor. They consider their team as something of themselves and grow wildly vociferous when attending a game in which the Los Angeles team takes part. The Thursday and Friday attendance has increased. ~This was noticeable in the first Los Angeles-San Francisco game. The second game of tne series of the League of the Cross Cadets Baseball League will be played at Sixteenth and Folsom street grounds to-morrow. The CURVES.

Delano of Rocklin has been se- lected to judge the dogs of this breed and his zppointment gives universal satisfac- tion. Added to this an extra offer has been made since the issuance of the premium list and $25 has been put up by the kennel club for dogs winning cham- pionship stakes, with $15 to dogs of this class winning second place, besides prizes for saplings and junior dogs, $8 to the fAirst and $4 to the second. The junior class is confined to dogs between twelve | and eighteen months old. In addition to the sporting dogs, Harry Jarrett of Phliadelphia will judge collies and he ig one of the best authorities on the breeff there is on this side of the water. The Ladies' Kennel Assoclation of America has become interested in the show and has offered for competition for members only five premiumships and trophies in all breeds and in addition to these the following special trophies: Islip challenge cup, presented by H. B. Hollls, for the best collie, to be won five times; the Airdale challenge cup, Foxhall P. Keene, for the best Airdale terrier; the Harffs & Nixon cup for the best bull-terrier: the Clio de Melrode cup, presented by Mrs. Jules J. Vatable, for the best French bulldog (female), to be won five times; the Meadows challenge cup, presented by Mrs. James L. Kernochan. The Ladies’ Kennel Association of Amer- ica will give special medals for all prize- winners entered by members of their or- ganization. The Winters Collie Kennels will,make a large_entry. both of collies and grey- hounds. The Roval Kennels will bencl four Maltese terriers, which have never been shown an this coast before. From the Irvington Kennels at Fruit- vale Mrs. E. B.

The Supervisors’ Judiciary Committee yesterday reported in favor of the ordi- nance establishing a graduated schedule of fees to be charged by the Board of Works for supervising the construction of private bulldings. The ordinance was first amended by cutting the fees chargeable for tflae issuance of building permits 50 per cen! SHARR EYE ON LEASHMEN WHO GO WRONG| California Coursing Committee Administers ~ Punishment to Offenders and Their Dogs That it is the alm of the California Coursing Committee to place the sport of the leash at a high standard and to elim- inate the unpleasant features which have a tendency to lower the game is evinced by the action of the board in the disposi- tion of cases wherein dishonest practices are alleged. At a recent stake mesting of the Ingle- side Club at Vallejo Pasha Queen, the property of J. 1. O'I:ien, acted in such a strange manner that it was evident to every one at the park that the courser had been doped. The dog, with several others, was run in the name of T. Cole- man. The club took prompt action and ruled Coleman off fob Iife. O'Brien’s ken- nel and the dogs run in the disgraced handler’s name were suspended pending action by the associatién committee. Thursday night the committee met and after a hearing sustained the action of the club regarding Coleman’s suspension. It was shown that O'Brien was in no way responsible for the croaked work and in Justice to him his kennel was reinstated. Linton and Lavona, which were run in Coleman’s name, were ruled off by ths Coursing Club. The conimittee returned regmrauon fges to H. Lynch, their owner, who will hav® to apply to the Ingleside Club for their reinstatement. Koolawn, a grevhound suspended for four years on August 3, 1899, at Union Park, was reinstated by the committee for breeding purposes. This action does nct affect the penalty imposed r ng her coursing. Robert E. Hooper, the bona fide owner of the dog, pleaded to the com- mittee that the punishment meted out was sufficiently severe to serve its pur- pose. Dave Hooper, who had the running of the hound, has been forced to sever his connection with the sport in_this State. At Los Angeles William Murphy pre- sided as judge. F. Nichols of Butte, Mont., charged that Mvrphy was han- dllnghhls hounds on a percentage contract ad disposed of three of aining sent. Murphy, it I8 claimed, was official order to_settle, but failed to in- crease his standing despite many prom- ises. Other complaints of a similar nature have reached headquarters and the board notified the Los Angeles club of its dis- approval of the maintenance of such a judge. As a result the southern club has declded to retire Murphv frdm the saddle. To encourage the exhibition of grey- hounds in the coming Gan Francisco bench show the coursing committee has approveil of the action of the club regarding dogs of that class and will endeavor to bring the best of the coursing celebrities to the nt. The bench show took cognizance of the fact that the selection of John Bradshaw was not. received with sers among coursing men and ‘set about to make a = satisfactory change. Bradshaw was withdrawn and M. C. Delano of Rocklin was chosen in his stead. The selection meets with general approval, as Delanu is Tated as having all the gqualifications necessary to fill the bill, is known to be honest and above reproa . L. Hathaway of Vallejo hns secured the registration of a brindle and white bitch by Winged Foot. out of Tipperary Lass, a full sister of Sacramento Boy. The dam and her get were ruled off some g’mle; back by the Interstate Coursing u Trainer Mulcaster has had his license re. newed on his promise to pay more atte: tion in future to hounds 1t his charge. A protest has been filed by B. Boles- worth against the running cf the hounds Petronius, Password and Injury. He claims to have a bill of sale of the hounds. J. R. Smith, in whose name the dogs have been run, has been ordered to show cause. The programme for tris week at Union Coursing Park is a strong one. £l stakes will be run. A 103 open event and a puppy stake of 16 entries arc the feat- ures. —_—— INTERCLASS ROWING RACES The Boat Club of the University of Cali- fornia will hold an interclass regatta thig afternoon on Oakland Creek, the finish of the races being near Sessions Basin. W. B. Goodwin, coach of the Berkeley oars- men, is desirous to have Oakland Creek recognized as the accepted course for row- ing races. He would like to see a track built alongside the water, so that races could be followed from start to finish by spectators on an observation train. He belleves that it can be satisfactorily shown that the enterprise of the railro company would be well rewarded: He has obtained facts and figures from rowing centers in the East tending to show how great is the public interest in boat racing When properly conducted. e oarsmen of San Francisco are slow in beginning the serious work of the row- ing season, a condition attributable to the fact that hardly a single one of the boat- ing elubs is secure in its present location. The South End Rowing Club has had a site between Long Whart and the_Arctic Oil Works granted to it by the Harbor Commissioners, and an adjoining site has been granted to the Ariel Rowing Club. Both the clubs will try to take possession of the new sites as soon as possible. The South Ends intend to put their clubhouse on a barge and remove it to the new site, but the Ariels will build a new house. The South End boathouse will be separ- ated from the handball court, which will be left in its present situation. The barges and skiffs of the South Ends are now in good order and several crews and single scullers went out for practice last Sun- day. The South Ends will hold a regatta for members on Sunday, April 28, and after the races there will be an informal Jinks. The Olympic Boat Club, after maintain- ing an inert existence for some years, has dissolved and a new organization has been formed under the control of a board of governors appointed by William Greer Harrison, president of thel Olgm ic Club. es These governors are Charl . ton, F. J. Rodgers, J. R. Bockman, T. F. Me- herin, Charles K. Melrose, James and J. H. Dawson, all of whom are well- known oarsmen, swimmers or water polo players. be- The SPORTS=BASEBALL, COURSING, YACHTING, ATHLETICS, CALIFORNIANS READY TO SAIL " THEIR YACHTS Formal Opening of the Season Will Be Made With a Cruise to Various Points on the Bay The California Yacht Club will formally open the season of 1301 to-day at its quar- ters on Oakland Creek. For more than a month past the yacht owners have been busy overhauling their craft, repairing the float and putting everything about the | clubhouse into shipshape condition. At 8 this morning the gun for ‘“colors” will be fired, at which signal the yachts will “dress ship” and will remain “dressed” till ‘“‘colors” at sunset. This evening a jinks, for the members only, will be held at the clubhouse, be- ginning at 8:30. Boats to take members across the creek will ply at frequent in- tervals from 8.p. m. to midnight between the landing stairs at the foot of Franklin street and the clubhouse. Badges will be | issued to the members and must be worn | conspicuously during the evening. No one without a card, unless vouched for as a | member, will be admitted to the boats or | the clubhouse. The opening cruise in squadron will take place to-morrow morning, a start being | made promptly at 10:30. If the breeze is | light the fleet will be towed out of the | creek, cruise over to the water front of San Francisco and proceed thence toward Fort Point. If the breeze is favorable the fleet_will sail over to Sausalito, saluting | the cisco Yacht Club, and thence to Tiburon, where the Corinthians will be saluted. After that the yachts will sail thm:]:gh Raccoon Stralts and thence home- | ward. At ‘the quarterly meeting of the Call- | fornia Yacht Club held in Oakland April 9 | the action of the annual meeting in with- drawing from the Pacific Interclub Yacht | Association was confirmed and it was de- cided to_incorporate the club. J. J. Sher- ry, ex-Commodore E. N. Walter and H. L. Martin were appointed a committee to take the proper steps toward incorpora- | tion. Seven new members were elected. | The San Francisco Yacht Club is pre- | paring a_handsome souvenir programme for opening day, and the entertainment committee promises that the jinks on the evening of April 27 wHI be excellent. At | a meeting of the directors held on Wed- nesday evening nine new members were elected. The committee appointed to pre- pare a set of racing rules for the club consists of W, G. Morrow, T. L. Hill and | J. R. Savory, and has devoted much pains | 16 s task. The racing rules of the San | Franciscos have been of an antiquated | style, but the new ones will incorporate | the rules of the New York Yacht Club | and other associations of high standing. | The Corinthian Yacht Club will give its | annual ladies’ reception next Saturday | afternoon, April 2, at the clubhouse at | Tiburon. The directors will officiate as a reception committee, and there will be music_and daneing. e floor committee | consists of E. S. Emmons, S. Anderson, James Levensaler, R. H. kon-ow, 8. Crim and E. J. Bowes. —_—— FOLLOWING THE FOX HOUNDS, —_ The season of the S8an Mateo Hunt Club is rapidly drawing to a close. The point to point hunt last Saturday was a great success, being one of the most sporting and interesting events ever held by the club. W. 8. Hobart entered a thorough- | bred racer which had taken over the course once or twice. but a protest rafsed on the ground that the horse had not been | hunted regularly during the season, as | M. | the conditions of such an event require, ‘was i ed. To-day is the last for which a fixture has been made, the meet | being at Uncle Tom’s Cabin, on the- San | Bruno road, at 4 p. m. If the ground re- mains reasonably soft, however, there may be a few more runs before the sport is tinued till next fall. T&—*-P HOME AND HOME TOURNAMENT ON OAKLAND LINKS Local Golfers Considered Strong Team but Contest Between the Two Clubs Will Be Close This afternoon the second half of the home and home tournament between teams of six men representing the San Francisco and Oakland Golf clubs will be played on the Adams Point course. The Oakland representatives will probably be the same as ou last Saturday, viz.: W. P. Johnson, E. R. Folger, F. S. Stratton, R. M. Fitzgerald, C. P. Hubbard and Arthur Goodall. Last Saturday the San Fran- cisco team placed 22 holes to its credit, but the lead may be a little reduced this afternoon, as the Oaklanders will be on their home. links. But the siiver trophy to be taken by the team winning two out of three matches over thirty-six holes is almost certain to become the property of the San Francisco Golf Club, which won the first match. he San Francisco team will be somewhat changed to-day. ing P. Kellogg, captain of the city club, returred to San Francisco a few days ago and will probably captain the team. It is possible that John Lawson may not | play, while H. D. Pilisbury will probably be included in the team. H..B. Goodwin has recovered from his recent indisposi- tion, but, having had no practice for sev- eral weeks, will not take part in to-day’s ccntest. The San Rafael Golf Club has no event set down on its schedule for to-da{, but next Saturday will hold a medal play hundicap over eighteen holes for men, to begin at 2 p. m. Early in May a tourna- ment, open to men or women members of any of the local golf clubs, will be played on the San Rafael links. The Oakland Golf Club is prospering and may enlarge its clubhouse and change its course, which at present has fourteen holes, into a full eighteen-hole one. The fair green of the Fort Baker course is in better condition now than ever be- fore, but the clay putting greens still leave much to be desired. An entertain- ment in aid of the building fund of the Sausalito Golf Club will be given te-night in the main hall of the San Francisco Yacht Club house by the Albatross Club, which is composed of officers of the United States Fish Commission's steamer and their wives, assisted by several young ladies of Sausalito. Several tableaux vivants and o dramatic plece will be pre- sented. Some new ground rules are being rec- ommended for adoption by the San Fran- cisco Golf Club with reference to the wood, the corral and the telephone wires. It is proposed that a player whose ball , falls into the wood to the east of the course, instead of dropping his ball and losing 'the distance, may play it out if this can be done. = Also that any ball which on an approach shot hits a post or wire on the fly may be played over again without the loss of a stroke. That, if the telephone posts or wires are hit on going to the second hole, the player may make the stroke again without counting it; or, if the ball lies so that he will break his club if he plays it, he may move it away and drop it without penalty. With regard to the corral in front of the ninth green, it is suggested that the player should be permitted elther to play out or to lift the ball, dropping it tem yards behind the corral. It is plain that certain details of the formation of the Pacific Coast Golf Asso- clation which were not given to the local press until April 5 were divulged in some quarters at an earlier date, as an Eastern golf monthly contains a statement of its formation in its April issue. The selec- tion of Hugh Tevis as president of the new association is a good one, as he is an enthusiastic golfer and a rich man, who is largely interested in both Central and Southern California. Other clubs repre- sented on the board of directors are the Oakland and San Rafael Goif clubs, the Country clubs of Pasadena and Los An- geles and the Riverside Polo and Goif Club, with four seats on the board left 3 ern Assoctation. ssociate ¢ ull_privileges, WS pay annual dues of $25, while the al- lied clubs, whose members may play in tournaments, but who take no part in the government of the association, pay $i5 per annum. Invitations have been issued to all the clubs within the district to join th assoclation, with the view of being qual: fied to enter members for the champion- ship competitions to be held during the vear. It is confidently hoped that many of the best golfers of Southern CaMfornia will visit San Francisco to take part in the first men’s champlonship, the raflroad eccmpanies having promised reduced rates to all duly qualified members of the as- El | sociation. BAD COURSING WEATHER. CLAY CENTER, Kans.. April 12—The second day of the Kansas-Nebraska coursing meet Was not a success, owing to a storm. The puppy stake was 4, clared off. In the ail-age stake $220 was | divided equally among the twenty-two dogs winning the first round. The Mar. kato meet will begin Monday and two se: of races will be run.
