The second match for the cricket pen- nant of 1901 will be played to-morrow on the ground at Webster street, Alameda. It will be memorable as the first occasion in which a country club has played for | the trophy emblematic of the cricket championship of Califernia. This trophy, whether cup or pennant, has always been limited to the city clubs, but this year the California Cricket Association admitted the country ~lubs to an equal right to contend for the championship. The match will be between last season's winners of the pennant, the Alameda Club, and the Sacramento Cricket Club, which includes several players who formerly belonged to the Citrus Colony Cricket Club of Placer County, among them being H. F. Elliott, H. R. Biliott, R. Marsh-Browne and A T, Chute. The Rev. C. L..Miel, formerly rector of the Episcopal church of Sausa- lito, is also a member of the Sacramento club. Another piayer well known in San Franeisco ig J. D. Bevers, formerly of the Pacific Cricket Club. The Sacramento_team will be made up as followss H. J. Furley (captain). B, Ashworth, W. Evason, H. F.

The representatives of the San Fran- w«isco Golf Club are Miss Edith -McBean, E Miss Caro Crockett, Miss s~ Cornelia _ O'Connor, s Maud O’Connor. From the Oakland Golf Club come Mrs. H. H. Sherwood and Mrs. W. P. Johnson. The representative of the Sausalito Golf Club is Miss Magon. The honor of _the home club will be up- held by Mrs. R. Gilman Brown, Mrs. J. J. Creoks and others.

It is quite likely that several more entries than those given hove will be received. The ladies’ event should produce an intéresting contest be- tween Mrs. R. Gilman Brown and Mrs. H. H. Sherwood, while among the men champion E. R. Folger and B. D. Adam- sor. will probably run each other very closely for top place. | The Sausalito golfers will soon be in their clubhouse, which is expected to be | rezdy for occupation to-morrow. Theugh of simple construction and containing only twe rooms, it will be a great convenience to the golfers, who have hitherto had no place_of shelter or rest on the links. As the Sausalito Golf Club is now for the first time in a position to entertain vis- itors, the return match between teams of the San Rafael and Sausalito clubs will be played next Saturday on the Fort Ba- ker links.

CRACKS ON THE COURTS SACRAME&TO TOURNEY ! Academic League Represent- atives Training for An- nual Championship Event Two very important tournaments are scheduled for next week. The champion- ship of Northern California will be played at Sacramento during the latter part of | next week. The tournament—doubles and | singles for both ladies and gentlemen—will commence on the 7th and be completed on the 9th. This is the most important ten- nis event of the year in that part of the State The present champions in ‘doubles are Elliet and Budgett of Penryn. John Cralg and Allen of Woodland. who have been coached by Professor Dally, the crack professional,- have improved very rapidly and stand a good chance of wresting the championshiv honors from the present holders. Some of the best teams entered are El- liott and McCarthy and Elliott ana Budgett of Penryn, Smith and Blanchard, Carroll and Blenhard and Birdsall Tohler of Sacramento, and Leake and Rodman, Craig and Allen and Dingle and Allen of Woodland. The same players will compete in the singles tournament. On May 11 and 18 the academic cham- pionship tennis tournament, singles and doubles, will be played. The singles will be played on one day and the doubles on the other. Owing to thedarge number of entries, but one set will be played in the preliminary rounds, two out of three in the gemi-finals and three out of five sets in_the finals. Lowell High School, represented by Al Rosenberg and . Norman Hodgkinson, should have little trouble in winning both singles and doubles. Rosenberg will rep- resent the school in singles and, although very much qut of practice, should win ea Most of the local cracks are spending ! considerable time on the courts getting in trim for the singles championship, which will be played in less than two months. Both ehampionship tournaments will be played at San Rafael this year. Hereto- fore the doubles have been played at Del { Monte. The twelfth handicap doubles tourna- { ment, after being postponed many times, | will be played Sunday at the California Club courts if the weather permits. {SOUTH ENDS'TO HOLD POSTPONED REGATTA It is said that notice is about to be served on the Ariel and Pioneer rowing | clubs to quit the quafters they have oc- | | cupled for so many years on Long wharf. Though it may not be necessary to move away at once, the clubs are husbanding | their resources with a view to meeting the | expense attendant upon the change, which | must soon take place. Under these cir- cumstances it is hardly likely that a cor- dial response will be made to the sugges- tion of the Alameda oarsmen that a row- ing regatta be held by the clubs, each contributing a quota of the expense of conducting the races and providing tro. phies. A letter has been sent'to T. Sands, chairman of the regatta committee of the Pacific Association of the Amateur Ath- | letic Union, asking him to call a meeting of the committee for the purpose of dis- cussing the prospect of an open regatta. The committee .will . be .called together some evening next week, but it is doubtful whether any satlstactory -result can be reached. The real difficulty is the lack of a course where smooth water can be found for the light racing craft and some revenue obtained to provide for expenses and prizes. So unless some change takes place in the situation the chances for an open regatta just now are poor. The South-Ends had made preparations to hold a regatta for their own members last Saturday, but the - southeasterly storm rendered it necessary to postpone the races. They will be held to-morrow if the weather is suitable. A meeting was held on Thursday ni‘fh! in the office of Dr. C. C. Denis to discuss rowing mat- ters and the question of incorporating the South End Rowing Club. The regatta to- morrow will begin at 10:30 a.. m., anq is intended to be the first of a series of monthly club regattas. There will be ! barge, outrigged skiff and shell races, both scratch and with handicap. E, Scul- ly, the captain, has presented a medal to encourage the juniors to‘take up skiff rowing, and to become the property of. the sculler who wins it three- times. Nothing has come so far of the proposed trial of speed” between the racing skiffs of the Alameda and Dolphin clubs. and | J. B.

Walsh, game warden of San- }a Cruz County, writes The Call as fol- ows: 1 look for fair fishing in all the streams as soon as the water clears. = All the tributarles of the San Lorenzo River, Soquel Creek and all the streams up the coast will, in my opin- ion, offer better sport than at any time this season as the water clears from the late rain. Only a few days ago I saw a great many fine fish in the bay at the mouth of the Soquel Creek walting for a chanee to get. in. The waters will clear quickly and I think by Sun- day or at the latest the earlier part of next week good catches will be made. The rain was what all the coast streams needed to make better fishing and I am confident that all the small streams will furnish good bas- kets as soon as the waters are clear. I will bet my hat that I will take a fine basket of trout Saturday or Suaday. ‘Word has been received in this city that the Truckee River is high and fishing is bad in that vicinity, x O. Klump caught 122 fine fish on the San Gre]gorlo last Saturday and Sunday. Dr. F. J. Lane caught fifty good-sized fish in the lagoon. James Watt and E. W.
