The clubhouse at Sausalito and the ferry- boats of the North Pacific Coast Ralflroad will be gayly decorated, while the whole fleet will be a-flutter with signal and prize flags. Ramona, W, N, McCarthy's flagship; J. D. Spreckels’ schooner Lurline, and the other yachts lying at the moorings off the clubhouse will be open for the reception of visitors, and frem 3 o'clock until 5:30 there will be dancing in the main hall to the music of a string band. After the re- turn of the ladies to the city by the 5:55 boat from Savsalito the clubhouse will be given up to the yachtsmen, for whom dinner will be set at 6:30. In the evening there will be a high jinks, the overture being furnished by the string band. and the rest of the music by a brass band. An excellent programme has been prepared dnd invitations have been sent out to all the yacht owners of the bay. At 10:30 ‘This afternoon the schooner ON THE BAY WILL SET THE SEASON UNDER FULL BLAST there will be an intermission for. supper, after ‘which there will be a low jinks. Many of the yachtsmen will spend the night on board the boats, but those who desire to return to the city after the last feiry-boat has departed can do so in the launch America, which Port Captain James Kitterman has kindly offered for the purpose. The ladies of the Las Ami- gas Club, which on week days has the use of the upper floor of the clubhouse and of the rowboat owned by the club, spent yesterday in decorating the main hall and anterooms with flowers and ferns. The arrangements for the day's entertainment have been made by a com- *- + LAST CONTEST | BETWEEN THE ‘ COLLEGE NINES e Baseball Surperior ty Will Be Settied This M rning on Recreation Grounds—Each University His Won Garre BERKELEY, April 2.—California will hold its third and decisive baseball game with Stanford Saturday mogning at 10:30 o'cleck at the Eighth and Harrison street s. The University men have been practicing well this week and will make every effort to redeem themselves for the poor pesformance in the last game. There will be several changes in the line up. Hamlin will go from center field to first base. Gardiner, who formerly played irst, will be retired to the bench. Adam: will take second bag in King's place, who will also be retired. McKeown will go from right field to center. Phelan will take McKeown's position at right. The line up will be as follows: Stanfor Ball Parker Cowden { Misner. Center field. Right field STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 26— | Steady practice for the last two weeks has the cardinal baseball squad in the best form it has attained this season. The men with the exception of Catcher Ball are in £00d physical condition and should give a goed account of themselves. Ball has been suffering from a slight touch of pneumonia which has kept him out of the last few practice games. but he will be seen behind the batin to-morrow’s line up. The personnel of the team will be the same as in the last game with Berkeley. Parker will be in the box and should do some eflicient work. He is steadier than ke a veteran. Murphy at third and Cowden at first are both putting up a better class of ball than earlier in the season. The outfield also should prove satisfactory. The game will be called at Recreation Park at 10:3) to-morrow morning. The freshmen have received a challenge from the Nevada track team for a meet to be held at Reno on May 4, but no a tion has been taken upon it. The 'va sity will meet Washington May 22 on the local oval. The system of graduate coach- ing and the four men selécted at la: night’s meeting to look after Stanford’s football interests this fall met with uni- versal approval among the students. It is felt that the presence of four veterans will do much to instill the old time en- thusiasm into the candidates of the 1901 team. Personally the four men choen are among the very brightest gridiron stars that Stanford has produced. Kelly and Attell Win. DENVER, Colo., April 26.—At the Colo- rado Athletic' Assoclation here to-night “‘Spider” Kelly put out Sam Bolin (col- ored) in three rounds. Billy Stift and Jack Johnson (colored) of Texas fought a ten-round draw and Abe Attell of San Francisco_won from Young Cassidy of Colorado Springs :a the second round. Referee English stopped the fight when Cassidy was staggering around the ring after having been down twice from the terrific punishment of the Californian. | <+ - mittee consisting of A. F. Broad (chair- man), ex-Commodoere Dr. T. L. Hill, A. W. Waters, Louis Q. Haven and W. Mersfelder, who have had the valuable assistance of a large number of ladies in the decoration of the clubhouse. Re- freshments wiil be served during the aft- erncon on the veranda, and a great en- tertainment is confidently expected. The San Francisco Yacht Club has pre- pared an unusually handsome souvenir programme, containing half-tone portraits of the officers, the reception and jinks committees, and pictures of the yachts and ‘clubhouse. The cover is decorated With thé club burgee in colored leather. R g | | e e e e S Pretty nearly the whole fleet of the San Francisco Yacht Club is in commiss(on‘ and will take part in the opening cruise | to-morrow. Colors will be made at § o'clock in the morning, and after break- | fast owners will repair to the flagship for‘ instructions from the commodore. - The | cruise will be n squadron by signal from | the schooner Ramona. V. P. Buckley and Arthur Kanzee's schooner Outing will not be put into com- mission, but will remain in the Cofte Ma~ dera Creek, where she has been lying dur- ing the winter. The San Franciseo Yacht Cltb may also lose the sloop Catherine, which represented the club in one of the annual races for the Perpetual Challenge cup, for she is to be disposed of by raffle next month. The big sloop Mischfef, how- ever, has joined the San Franciscos and will make her moorings chiefly at Sausa- lito. F. A. Hyde will build a yawl as soon as he can spare time from his horseless carriage. Vice Commodore R. S. Bridg- man's sloop Thetis has been repaired and painted, and H. R. Simpkins’ yawl Tra- montana, the largest.of her class in the bay, is at her moorings after extensive repairs with a view to prevent the leak- ing which has given her owner so much trouble. Crimosems.

THE SEASON IS FAIRLY STARTED AND FROM NOW ON THE INTEREST IN YACHTING BY THE VARIOUS CLUBS WILL BE ON EDGE. - SOUTH END CLUB TO HOLD REGATTA The retirement of E. A. Kragness of the Dolphin Boating Club from active athletic work owing to the development of a *‘hi- cycle heart” has broken the Dolphin junmor | barge crew for the present, but a new one will be organized and will shortly go into practice. It is not unlikely that A. W. Pape, who has done so much good rowing for the Doiphing, will stroke a séhior barge crew, the other members of which | will be George Baker, Captain W. O. Patch and Stanley Adderley. The last | named has for several years been a mem- that club takes no part in racing and Ad- derley has acquired a reputation as a fast from the Tritons and will conterit himself with membership in the Dolphins. The South Ena Rowing Club wiil hold a | regatta to-morrow over the Long Bridge course. There will be barge, outrigged skiff and shell races and possibly a cutter race between two divisions of the Naval Reserve. Police judge A. J. Fritz will officiate as referee and Willlam Thomas as starter. The first event will be a handi- cap harge race, one erew being made up of Robert McArthur, A. Carson, Henry Bode and Frank Duplissea, with Lowe: burg as cockswain, and the other consist- ing of Arthur McDuffy, Thomas Lynch, John Mitchell and E. Seully, with Thedy at tie tiller lines. George McGrill will re¢cive a handicap from James P. Foley in u shell race and Dr. C. C. Dennis wiil give a handicap to.M. E. Cashman in an outrigged skiff race. James P. Foley, M. J. Breen, James Pallas and Joseph Lyons will row a barge race against Thomas Barry, Walter Duplissea, Charles Skelly and T. I. Fitzpatrick. There will be an outrigged skiff race between Robert Mc- Arthur and M. J. Breen. The third barge race. of the day will be between a crew made up of Charles Jenkins, Emil Blum- lein, Frank Mayo and Dr. C..C. Denn’: and_a four composed of M. Harris, C; A.

TRY.0UTS FOR CENTURY RELAY All the .cycling clugs that intend en- tering teams in the annual 100-mile relay race on May 12 will hold final try-outs to- morrow, after which the teams will be selected. The Olympie, Bay City, Califor- nia and Relfance clubs will race on the San Leandro triangle, and the Garden City Wheelmen will use the Gilroy road. The following Sunday the men who have been selected to represent the vari- ous clubs will be sent to their respective relays, in order that they may become fa- miliar’ with the particular ten miles they are expected to cover, and many of them will remain in the vicinity of their courses until the day of the race, riding their re- lays every day intervening. None of the clubs holding try-outs to- morrow will publish the results of the men’s rides, as it {s not desired that the other clubs should know how well or how poorly the men are doing prior to the race. The teams will doubtless be announced the middle of next week. Fred West of the Bay City Wheelmen defeated George McKinney of the Olym- pics at the Elmhurst track last Sunday in 1wo out of three races run between them. thus making -him winner of the match. McKinney won the five-mile paced pursuit event, but later West won at a mile, seratch, and a_mile pursuit, both unpaced. Knox defeated A. T. Smithr in a ten-mile paced purzuit race e ——— Handball Games. At the San Francisco handball courts to-morrow the following matches will be played: T. Serres and J. Glynn vs. E. White and C.

TENNIS COURTS The next important event in tennis &r- cles is the championship torunament of the Pacific Coast, held at San Rafael. There is some talic of holding both doubles and singles tournaments at the same time. By doing this several players from the northwest and Southern Cali- fornia would journey here to compete. With such men as Freeman, Foulkes and Goward of the north and Rell, Hendricks and Sinsabaugh of Los Angeles entered much interest would be added to the championship events. y With the singles championship of the coast but two months off, the local cracks are practieing constdntly. Merle Johnson | is improving very rapidly and is making blg strides toward first place In the second | class. Al Rosenberg, who has been on the ! shelf for several months, has taken ug the | ame again and is fast rounding into | orm. The twelfth handicap doubles tourna- | ment for the Davis cups will be played to- | merrow, commencing at 11 o'clock.” These cups have been won twice by three feams | —the Whitney brothers, Coilier and Cro- | well. and Smith and Cornell. o Pete Smith has offered prizes for a novel event to come off a week from Sun- day. Tt will be a tournament in which only those who have never played in a tournament are eligible. This will give the lower class men a chance to win a Brothers Win. i Relfi— LONDON, April 26.—H. J.

ANGLERS ARE ENJOYING FAIR TROUT FISHING i Celd W=aather Prevents Good Catchsas, but Davotees Are Hopeful of Bastter Results With Warmer Weather John McDonald of Boca sent down a fine lot of fish taken from the Truckee early in the week. He stated that the prospects for a good season are very bright. It is too early, however, for ang- a late stream. Messrs. Vogelsang, Gould and Burnham returned from their trip to the McCloud River on Tuesday last. They report that the weather has been cold and unfavora- ble for good results. They did, however, catch some very fine fish. Colonel Kelleher and two friends are staying at Lee Dunning’s, about twelve miles above Baird, where they will re- main for sqme time. The colonel writes that fishing is improving. What they want is warm weather. Anglers who propose going to the Mec- Cloud River, and should desire going to Dunnings or Campbells, will be pleased to know that the wagon road has been | completed from Bairds Spur to Dunnings | and arrangements are now being made to go directly to that point instead of going | around by way of Baird.

Reports from the ege collct. ing stations at Lake Tahoe show a little M_excess of a million. The take of the lake trout eggs is unlimited. The eom- mission opened a hatchery at Wawona this week and the output will be taken from Lake Tahoe and distribution will be confined to the waters of Yosemite and | Natlonal Park, as heretofore.

CALIFORNIA TO GET HER FIRST GOLF CHAMPION gt Magnificent Challenge Trophy Is Almost Certain to Adorn San Francisco Clubhouse Until Next Year’s Contest The interest of golfers throughout the State is concentrated on the first com- petition for the amateur championship of the Pacific Coast. which vesterday after- noon reached the final round. At the con- clusion of to-day’'s play there will be a Pacific Coast amateur golf champlon. But, though that will be the title of the winner of the final round to-day, he will really be a champion of ail California, since the Pacific Coast Golf Association at present includes In its list of associate and allied member no clubs outside of this State. Long before next year’s tour- nament comes off it is practically cer- tain that the golf clubs of Oregon. Wash- ington and British Columbia will be in- cluded in the association, and that players from Victoria, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane and Portland will be entitled to contend for the golf blue ribbon of the Pacific Coast. Thirty-two entries in all were recelved for the tournament, twenty-four from San Francisco and neighborhood and eight from Southern Californta. Of the thirty- two entries twenty-one played in the qual- ifying round on Wednesddy, divided as follows—seven from San Franeisco, six from Oakland, two from San Rafael, five from Los Angeles and one from Pasa- dena. Thus of the eight entries from Southern California six put in an appear- ance, while of the twenty-four entries from San Francisco and neighborhood fif- teen entered the qualifying round. The two Southern Californians who did not come up are two of the strongest players in the State, C. E. Orr and C. B. Maud. The former has recently lost a relative by death and the latter Is too b with op to leave Riverside at pres- tanding the absence of these two veterans, the six southerners secured four of the first six places in the qualify- ing round, in which H. M. Sears of the s Angeles Country Club handed in the lowest score. Of the six Oaklanders who played all secured a piace in the sixteen. The most notable abseniees on the side of the local golfers were B. D. Adamson, H. B. Goodwin and S. Abbot Jr. of the San Francisco Golif Club and C. P. Hubbard of the Oakland Goif Club. S. L. Abbot_Jr. had not entered, as his busi- ness does not permit him to be absent three consecutive days. The other three entered, but did not play the qualifying round. H. M. Sears’ score of 176 for four rounds of the Presidio course, or an aver- age of 44 to each round, on a day which was windy throughout was an exceed- ingly good performance, and marked him out as a strong and even player. When the fact is considered that the southern- ers were playing for the first time in tournament on turf greems, which, how- ever good they may be, have not the bil- liard-tablelike trueness of a “skin green,” their performance is still more creditable. The tournament is being played under the St. Andrews rules. as amended and interpreted by the United~States Golf As- sociation, with the special rules in force on the Presidio links. These special rules particularly relate to balls going into the wood on playing to the first or second hole, striking the telegraph poles or wires in playing to the second or eighth holes, hitting on the fly the posts or wires pro- tecting any of the putting greens or lodg- ing in the corral in playing to the ninth hole. In most of the above cases the golfer may drop a ball on the spot where the stroke was plaved and play another stroke without any penalty. On Saturday, May 4, at 10 o'clock In the morning, there will be a tournament, open to members of any golf_club, for women on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club. In the afternoon of the same day, be- ginning at 2 o'clock, there will be a tour- nament over eighteen holes, medal play, from scratch, open to men members of any golf club. There will be no entrance fee, and a large list of entries is expected. The San Rafael course is a very sporty and_interesting one and is In excellent condition at present. On Mayday the Linda Vista Golf Club of San Jose will hold a tournament, with handicap, on its course near Alum Rock Park, the prize being a medal. Play will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning and will be over nine holes for the women and over eighteen holes for the men. The following handicaps have been allotted: Guy Vachell and F. Knowles, scratch; Dr. C. H. Walter and J. D. Grissim, 10; Josepn R. Patton, Philo Hersey, George M. Bow- man and C. C. Coolidge. 14; R. R. Syer, C. C. Schneider, F. A. Schnelder and A’ Don Hines, 18. Among the ladles Mrs. H. A. Vachell, Mrs. Joseph R. Patton and Miss E. A. Bowman play from seratch: Mrs. Ralph Hersey, Miss Ogier and Miss 8. C. Haldan receive 3; Miss Florence Clayton has a handicap of 5;: Miss Grace Adel and Miss C. E. Sweigert receive 8, and all others 10. MANY GAMES ON EASTERN GROUNDS National League.
