After one more practice, which will ta place to-morrow on the grounds at We usome and Hewitt ster street, Alameda, the first cricket match of th will be played on Sunday, May 4, between the two old-time rivals, the Alameda and Pacific, clubs. Both clubs have fairly large rolis of mem- | bers and will be able to put strong teams in the field, the fact that sor well kno will be misse rom both elev It is likely prizes will be offered for the best batting and bowling averages ma during the season by any member of the four teams which take part in the matches for premier position. Though the point has not yet been decided by the California Cricket Association, it is likely that only the sixteen matches which ap ar on the schedule as already issued will .be taken into account in compiling the averages of the players. Of these six teen matches the Alameda and Paci teams play in ten apiece and the Santa Cruz and Bacramento elevens in six each. In order to be considered as competitor: for the prizes the players must take part in @ specified number of matches.

The tie resulting in that sea- son was so played off. In that year, as in this, San Francisco won the first home- and-home match and lost the second. The C d team won the eighteen-hole de- ng match on the Burlingame links carried off the interclub trophy. This ar it was specially agreed between the 15 of the two ciubs, S. L.

The weather being dull and only a | small number of players appearing at the |links of the San Rafael Golf Club last Saturday and Sunday, it -was decided to postpone the Best Ball handicap, which | was to have begun at 9 a. m., April 19, | and closed at 6 p. m. to-day. Scores made | on last Saturday and Sunday, however, may be counted in the competition. It | is probable that the competition will be | gin_to-day and continue until Saturday May 3, and that the men’s stroke compe- tition, open to all amateurs, and sched- uled for May 3, will be postponed for one or two weeks. 2 TAILS TO ACT ON CITY ARCHITECT’S RESIGNATION Board of Public Works Is Looking for a Successor to | Mooser. City Architect Mooser's resignation is in the hands of the Board of Public Works, but that body for ‘some reason | declines to give publicity to the matter. One reason for this course Is said to be the fact that efforts are being made to nd a successor to Mooser, whose resig- ration will be accepted as soon as a suc- cessor to his office s found. ( Among the candidates mentioned for he place are Matthew O'Brien and T. J. Welch. The first named is not considered | very favorably on account of his close | affiliations with Mooser, who declined to | do some work for the city and delegated it to O'Brien, who was paid for it. The Supervisors’ Finance Committee was of the opinion that Mooser sheuld have -done the work, but passed O'Brien’s demand nevertheless. The salary of the city architeet will probably be fixed at $300 per menth in the next budget, but he twill be required to devote all of his time to C_ | the dutfes of the affice. —————— Seven Years for Grand Larceny. Edward Barry, who pleaded guilty in Judge Cook’s court to a charge of grand | larceny, was sentenced yesterday to serve seven years In San Quéntin.

O. Patch’s crew pulling as far as the Union Iron Works, making the return trip easily. E. O. Kragness will not be able to row in Patch’s four, which is thus left with- out a stroke. It is proposed, however, that A. W. Pape’'s and George Baker's crews shall pull in the first heat of the barge regatta, and that the stroke of the losing crew shall take the.stroke seat in Patch’s four and pull against the crew of which T. R. Dixon is captain. The South End Rowing Club is gradu. ally getting blocked in ‘at the foot of Third street, and, as it is clear that the time when they will be compelled to leave their quarters is drawing near, the directors have determined to levy a @ il Master Horseshoers Protest. The Master Horseshoers’ Assoclation filed a protest with the Board of Super- visors yesterday against the proposed innovation of establishing municipal shops for the shoeing of horses. The as- sociation represents that such a proceed- ing is in violation of the methods in vogue in all the large cities and bound to prove destructive of the horseshoeing in- dustry, which employs vast numbers of skilled mechanics. —_— e L Analyzing Salt Water. City Chemist Green is preparing to sub- mit a report to the Board of Health re- zarding the chemical investigations into the purity of the salt water pumped into All the picked barge crews and the | eosrofmfefefoferfrfrbe oot monthly assessment of 50 cents on each member for one year, the money to be set aside as a fund to meet the expenses of removal to a new location. Last Sun- day many members were at the boats | house, and several barge crews went out for practice. Charles Jenkins, who is an active member of the ins?ruction com- mittee, took out a crew made up of A. | Hennessey, bow; P. Connolly, No. 2; J. Flannigan, No. 3, and J. O'Brien, stroke. Afterward Charles Jenkins rowed stroke of a crew composed of Frank Mayo, bow; Samuel Berger, No. 2, and M. Har- ris, No. 3 Edward Wolff, bow; James P. Foley, No. 2, Thomas Barry,’ No. 3, and 8. ‘ashman, stroke, went out in the | barge “Flyblister,” with Albert Sonnen- berg ds cockswain. A fourth barge crew was made up of Frank Mayo, bow; George Wright, No. 2;-D. Methmann, No. 3, and M. Marfis, stroke. Jenkins' barge shipped a good deal of water and had to put in to the transport dock to bail out, Several South End men were out prac- ticing in outrigged skiffs, lmolg‘ them being Charles Jenkins, E. Korn, E. Wol E. Cashman .and Robert McArthur. When the rain came on the oarsmen sought shelter and spent the afternoon in the throughout the city, Green says that he had made a number of analyses, but re- sults have been unsatisfactory on account of the variable character of salt water. He has found nothing, however, in the samples that would militate against the purity of the water and will recommend that the investigation be prosecuted by inspection rather than by analytical methods. —_——— MACHINIST SEEKS DAMAGES,—Francis A. Walker filed a suit against the Risdon Iron Works yesterday for $1000 damages for breach of contract, and for $50 for services ren during the ‘recent strike. Walker alleges that ught out here from New York on a contract Which guaranteed him work as a ma- chinist for six months, but was discharged after two months' employment.

Dennis has or- dered a pair of sculls from Al Rogers. A meeting of the Olympic Boat Club was held on Tuesday night at the Post- street clubhouse. ere was a good at- tendance of members at the Tiburon boathouse on Sunday, among the oars- men being C. W. Doble, Percy Burr, George Dinsmore, Charles Yates, 5 Raus, W. Fulton, W. Claussen, Beott, L, V. George Starr, W. Longwell, Percy Hammond, Charles Brandenstein, F. Rogers and 8. J. . Pembroke. Charles Yates and F. Rogers went out in an out- rigged skiff. Captain S.:J. Pembroke coached a barge crew made up of Fulton, Scott, Claussen and Longwell. The committee in charge of the build- ing fund of the Ariel Rowing Club is busy preparing for the second boxing tourna- ment to be glven in aid of the fund on K s i O Y ‘Wednesday evening, May 7. Pay of Park Laborers. City Treasurer McDougald and Auditor Baehr held a consultation yesterday with the Park Commissfon and effected an ar- rangement which will allow the park la- borers to get away earlier on pay days S0 as to cash their salary demands with- out delay. Heretofore the Auditor and Treasurer have kept their offices open g TENNIS BOOMS THROUGHOUT THE COAST Ambitious Tournament Is Scheduled for To-Morrow Out on the Park Courts Players of California Club to Visit Placer County and Compete in Matches I set for to-morrow. The players will be divided into two classes, first and second. The prizes will be two silver challenge cups, to be won three times. Each player will be charged an entrance fee of 50 cents in each tournament and in | this way the cups will be paid for. As| there will be a large entry list in each‘i event, some valuable trophies will be put | up. Only those entering the first tourna- | ment will be allowed to take part in the subsequent ones. 1 In the first class the following park ex- | perts will figure: Harry Routh, Charles | Dunlap, James A. Code, Thierbault, Tet-: ley, Will Allen and possibly some of the | cracks of the California Tennis Club. Should the latter be invited to take part | the probable entries would be Harold Cro- well, W. B. Collier and Grant Smith. HE biggest tournament ever held on the Golden Gate Park courts is UNCLE HENRY WILL SIGN NEW INFIELD MEN A New Catcher Is Also to Be Added to the Local Nine Within a Few Days > h While the latter are more skillful than the | park players on asphaltum courts, on the | earth courts their chances are about even. | In the second class there will probably | be twenty men to struggle for the honors. In the last affair of this kind Allen, a | second class man of the California Club, | won out, beating the two first class men, | Colller and Crowell, who had previously beaten the park champions. Meirose, who also learnea the game on the club courts, had little difficulty in winning the second lass. f c'lhe event of next week is the exhibi- tion matches to be played by the local cracks at Penryn, Placer County. There will be an excursion to the latter place. The feature of the tournament will be the | tennis matches. between the Whitney brothers, the Hardy brothers, Professor Daily, W. B. Collier, H. W. Crowell and | Grant Smith. Parker Whitney, an en- | thusiast, has . offered prizes for all the| events. The Porter brothers, champions of Northern California, are 'anxious :o meet the local cracks and it will prob- ably be arranged for them to do so. The players will leave here Friday afternoon and will play their matches on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning and after- noon. In the double the Hardys and ./ait- neys will probably come together and Col- lier and Crowell and Daily and Smith. In singles the matches have not as yet been arranged. The annual tournaments for the cham- pionship of Ojal Valley, together with the interscholastic championship of South- ern California, were started at that place on Thursday and will be completed to- day. The only local entry was Mrs. Kin- cafd of Alameda and she was unfortunate enough to draw Miss May Sutton, the coast champlon. The latter had no dif- ficulty in winning, the score being 6—2, 6—0. Miss Ruby Garland is the present champion, but Miss Sutton is sure to| wrest the championship honors from her. | The intercollegiate matches of last Sat urday showed the Stanford people clear- ly that unless they build suitable courts on the college ground the tennis cham- johship will in future go to Caltfornia. g’he cardinal has good material, but it can never be brought out unless courts are built that are fit to play on. Harry Weihe, besides being out of practice, was extremely nervous and did not do himself justice last’ Saturday. Hunt was in fine form and played the best game he has ever put up. Cleve Baker of Stanford made a very good showing and will un- doubtedly develop into a first-class man. Lieb is another Stanford man ef great promise. MAKES A BRUTAL ATTACK UPON HIS AGED FATHER William Kingsbury Secures a War- rant for His Son’s Arrest on Battery Charge. ‘Willlam Kingsbury, a retired merchant, 79 years of age, living at 1231 Bush street, appeared at the Hall of Justice yesterday morning with his face and clothing cov- ered with blood. He was so weak that he was taken into Judge Fritz's chambers, where he rested himself on a lounge while telling his story. Kingsbury said that he had asked his wife, who is slightly deaf, to stitch the sleeve of higshirt. He had to talk to her in a lcud tone of voice, and his son Al- bert, 24 years of age, told him not to speak that way to his mother. When he replied that he had to do so owing to her [hBrmity Albert with an oath struck him a violent blow on the ear, knocking him down. A wound on the ear showed the force with which the blow was struck. “Blood is thicker than water,” sald Kingsbury, “but I want my son punished for his unnatural conduct.” He swore to a complaint before Judge Fritz and a warrant chaxginzdynung Kingsbury with battery was issued. ————— AUDITOR EXPLAINS POLICE DEPARTMENT ESTIMATE Thinks One Hundred Additional Pa.- trolmen Sufficient if Not Put on Outside Work. Auditor Baehr takes exception to the criticism of Chief of Police Wittman re- garding the estimate Baehr has made for the Police Department. Baehr says h has allowed the department about new ratrolmen and he believes the pub- lic will be convinced that they are suffi- clent when they take into consideration that many officers in the department are being pald for police duty notwithstand- ing the fact that they are, doing mechan- ical work, viz., repairing, carpentering, plumbing, painting, etc., while others are two or three hours late on the 4th of each month so that the laborers could collect their salaries in person without loss of time. The Treasurer and Auditor rounded out their trip with a call at the Alms- house, where they found everything well conducted under the superintendency of Willlam J. Kelly. doing duty as prison-keepers, bailiffs, stenographers and at clerical work. Baehr says further: The Chief is misinformed wi has the hen he says that Angels Will Have a Crack Team if Bill Hanlon Can Hit the Ball as of Old OS ANGELES has taken a good lead in the race for the flag and it looks as though the Southern aggregation will set the pace for a while. Morley is generous in hiring men. He practically has two teams under salary, and if an one happens to get hurt he is there wit another man who will deliver the goods. Manager Harris has his optics focused on four or five performers who he thinks will soon stampede with the Ponies. One is a catcher, another an out- flelder. Old Slow Ball McPartlin made a r a couple of weeks ago at Los Ax that can not be beat, and is not likely to be equaled. He did not allow Oakland a single run or even a hit. This record has only been made in the National Leagus a few times in thirty years. Little Mohler’s work around second has woen for him a warm spot in the heart of everyone who frequents Recreation Park. The wee lad certainly plays a great fast game in the fleld and he is a mtific hitter. In the last series, he did over .300 per cent with the willow. McHale, Meredith, Leahy and Hol continue to be the idols of the stands and bleachers. This quartet has done the most effective work lately, all hit- ting well and fielding like stars. Shugart did not show up so weil in the last five games he played. The Ca yearns_for his old position at the sho stop. When Harris gets another infleld- er the man from Chicago will again go to short and will in all probability play 00 per cent better ball. Bill Hanlon will again do stunts around the initial sack. He is in training and Morley will use him as soon as the An- gels come North. Hanlon is one of the best first basemen in minor league com- pany and always a favorite. He has the advantage of Streib in height, though he has pot got it on the little fellow a bit in handling badly thrown balls. If Han- lon regains his lost batting eye, Morley's team will be a wonder. The Oakland fans only had one chance to see their pets play and then they lost The other two games were stopped b: the juicy state of the weather. If oid Sol will be kind and do _the right thing to-morrow morning, the Oakland grounds will have such a crowd as used to fill the old Piedmont ball fleld when the Green- hood & Morans were in their glory. FILEY IS ACQUITTED OF CHARGE OF MURDER Prosecution Fails to Connect Him With the Killing or Otto Ekbert. John T. Riley was acquitted by a jury in Judge Cook's court yesterday on a charge of murder. He was accused of striking Otto Ekbert, a non-union team- ster, a fatal blow with a plece of gas pipe on Townsend street, between Third and 1Foul’(h. on the evening of November 9 ast. Judge Cook, in giving the charge to the jury, sald that if they felt satisfled be- yond a _reasonable doubt that Mrs. Alma Miller had the oppoftunity of getting a | good view of the features of the man who struck the blow, then her evidence was to be considered, but if, on the contrary, they were satisfled that she only got a view of his back, as testified by her at the -preliminary examination, then {t should not be considered. The jury retired a few minutes befors noon to consider their verdict, went to lunch and brought in their verdict of ac- quittal about 2:30 o’clock. —_——— Some chemists affirm that the ideal ink consists almost exclusively of gallate of iron, and that the nearer the liquid ap- pk:mlcnlfs this substance the more perfact the ink.
