The second will take place on Seturday, May 10, and the third on Sun. day, May 11. The boat which wins two out ‘of the three trials will be selected as the defender of the Challenge cup, and will be put on the ways at once to get her into the best possibie trim for the race. The racing length of the Harpoon is now 2.18 feet and her owners say that they can get her down to 33 feet without al- tering her sailing qualities at all. The Harpoon has not vet carried racing sails. After the Corinthians have settied which boat shall defend the Perpetual cup the regatta committees of the San Francisco and Corinthian clubs will meet and settle ay 24, or possiby on May 31, the of the sixty days since the receipt of the challenge from the San Francis Yacht Cub on April 1. The Corinthians desire to have as long a time as possibla within which to get the defender into trim and to train her crew. Frank Stone will sail the Presto and Fred Cook the Har- poon. To-morrow will hold its the California Yacht Club annual dinner race, open to all yachts on the roll. Working sails only will be used, and the course will be fi{- teen miles, including two beats to wind- ward and two runs. race has been sailed over a triangular course, but the course has been changed in order to increase the interest of the #pectators, who In previous years saw the competing yachts only twice, at the start and the finish, the craft being too far away to be watched during the interval. Under the present arrangement vachts will come up to the mole at the end of the first run and will finish at the same place. The time limit is four hours. The South Bay Yacht Club will hold 1(s opening cruise to-morrow, starting from | Alviso at 10 in the morning. The number of members has considerably increased, and many of the boats have been im- proved since last year. Commodore H. A. Spencer is looking forward to a lively season, and intends to make vigorous ef- forts to secure a clubhouse. JUDGE CABANISS SAYS SHENSON SIMPLY LIED Dismisses a Charge of Perjury in Connection With a Marriage License. The charge of perjury against Robert Shenson was dismissed by Judge Cabaniss vesterday. He was accused on complaint of his father-in-law, A. Muller, 341 Clem- entina street, with faisely swearing be. fore “Cupid” Danforth on September 26 lagt, while procuring a marriage license to marry his daughter Ida, that he was 21 years of age, whereas he was only 20, The young couple had only been married a few months when they separated and divorce proccedings are now pending. The Judge, in dismissing the case, said that although he could not invoke legal authority for doing so0 still he had very oigh dramatic authority for such a course, | The defendant, in stating that his age was 21, did not wrong any one, as it was known to his intended bride, and to all in- tents and purposes he simply told a lie. He deprecated the spirit shown by the {oaung wife in trying to send her husbana the penitentiary. of the race, which will take | the | _LVEDERE Cove and the boat- || o | o il T T 0 \ |BILL HANLON’S BATTING EYE IS STILL DIM Angeles Possesses ¢ the Two Extremes in Pitchers. \Oakland Diamond Is Yet be ve- | to ; The season is young, however, and radic | { | Hitherto the dinner | 1 | star | © the usuai custom, | Alameda b Unfit for Snappy | Playing. T begins to look as though the race this year will be between Los Angeles and Oakland unless the other teams get in and do something in a hurry. 1 changes may occur before many more games have been played. Bill Hanlon plays the first bag just as of yore, but tRat old-time batting eye of his does not seem to round into shape fast as the fans had hoped. Charley Reilly’s batting optic has been slightly dimmed by the giare and whirl of 'Frisco. Charley does not line 'em’ out in keeping with that high average of-his. Los Angeles certamly pdssesses ‘the’ex- tremes in pitchers in “Waddell and Mc- Partlin. It will be interesting to note whether speed or siow, brainy work is the more effective. So far, tne tedious one has the better of the argument,’ * It seems strange the management does not take steps to make the Oakland grounds ook good to the crowds and the they are at present, it 1s impossible to play good ball on fbem, while fast work is out of the ques- tion. It is most gratifying to all patrons of the game to note how few kicks are be- ing made at the umpire’s decisions. .If this will only continue, California will lead all the other. leagues in_placidness. It is a singular fact that the captains of the Oakland, San Francisco and Angeles nines all play third base, all are good men in their positions. The American League, with all its , does not seem to draw any better crowds than the old tottering National. Considering the salaries the former is paying, it does not look so much like a young mint as many seemed to think. Comiskey has a young giant named Newlin with his white sock aggregation, who ‘promises to develop into a $econd Rusie. Though only 19 yvears oid, he 18 over six feet tall and weighs nearly 200 pounde. He has a world of speed, and if any one can develop him Clark Grif- fith shouid be the man. _ Lajoie is having his share of troubles in trying to find a place where he can play ball without having the lawyers and judges butting in and spolling his plans. Perhaps he wiil compromise and hie him- self to California, or he may be com- pelled to resume his old task of doimg stunts on top of a cab. Win Mercer won the first game heé pitched this ason, holding down the high-priced St. Louis American League sluggers to five hits. Mercer has a lot of friends on the coast. Although he has been in the game for twelve years many are of the opinion he is anything but a dead one. ———————— | CRICKETERS TO PLAY FIRST MATCH OF YEAR |Alameda and Pacific Teams Wil { Meet in the Opening Game on Alameda Grounds. The opening ericket match of the sea- |son of 1902 will be played to-morrow morning on the grounds at Webster street, Alameda, beginning at 11:30. The contending teams will represent the Ala- | meda and the Pacific Cricket clubs, the only two now in existence in San Fran. cisco and neighborhood. The Alameda eieven will be chosen from the following: Arthur Dickenson,J. Guild, C. Banner, J. H. Ward, Bert Bird F. J. |Croll, A. ¥ Stahl, A. E. Chivers, H. . Brown, J. Brown, W. J. Richter, W. G. Fortman, Harry Bird and H.. Ward Sr. According the captain of the team will be selected on the ground, and will probably be Arthur Dickenson, who formerly played with the old California Cricket Club, and added ereat strength to its team. He is an e cellent Latsman and a good bowler, and will be an efficient substitute for tie | former captain, R. B. Hogue, who is in | Australia. Nearly all the members of | the Alameda eleven are young Amerfcans who Lave learned the game here and i;:la;' it with great proficlency. Last year | Bert Bird made the greatest aggregate number of runs and was third in the hat- ting list with an average of 37.08 runs for | t=elve completed innings. He stood tirst on the bowling list, taking 23 wickets at an average cost of 6.50 runs. he Facific eleven will be chosen from fulicwing: H. C. Casidy (captain), C. . Coles, A. W. Wilding, W. Petherick, | | | | Tiedemann, D. Jamieson, ¥. Bennion, E. A. M. Lannowe, C. M. Storrs and V. P. Sollom. Of the foregoing H. C. Casidy took the largest number of wicket: lust scason, 61 for ua average of 7.63 runs, e played in more matches during the fea. i son than any other cricketer except W, J. | Croll, being sixteen times at bat as |against Croll's eighteen times.

The crew has been told that if it goes on practicing and does good work an effort will be made to have them take part in the championship races at Oak- land. The Stockton oarsmen will at least send down a single sculler. The Ariel Rowing Club officials feel hurt at the manner in which the registra- tion committee of the Pacific Association acted in inflicting a fine of $25 on the club for permitting a boxer, said to be unregis- tered, te take part in the tournament held iast month at Woodward's Pavilion. In similar cases the committee has never jnflicted a . fine without giving the clubs warning. An appeal has been taken to the board of managers of the Amateur Atkletic Union against the local directors who sustained the action of the registra- tion committee. The Ariels would like to see a Pacific Coast Rowing Assoeiation formed, which would consist of active rowing men and ‘which would devote itself to furthering the interests. of local oarsmen. The oarsmen of the Alameda Boating Club have had little practice so far this season. When the weather has been fa- vorable the tide has been too low to per- mit of launching boats on the creek, and on other Sundays there has been wet or stormy weather. Last Sunday, however, from noon till dark, barges and, skiffs were in constant demand. W. B. Hinch- man, John Lewls, F. W. Ayers, Edward Edwards and A. G. Bell were out in the skiffs, and a barge crew composed of Jd- ward Edwards, bow; Roy Pollard, No. 2; Fawn Nott, No. 3; Sidney Pollard, stroke, and Bert Cameron, cockswain, had a prac- tice row. ™ The South End Rowing Club is display- ing a good deal of activity. Several barge crews were out last Sunday. The “Fel- ton"” was manned by ¥. Mayo, bow; Rob- ert McArthur, No. 2; E. Pallas, No. 3; Cashman, stroke, and Albert Sonnenberg, cockswain, on one trip, and another by A. Hennessey, bow; P. Connolly, No. 2; F Dermer, No. 3; J. O'Brien, stroke, and Albert Sonnenberg, cockswain. In the old “Flyblister”’ were James Pallas, bow; Bel- | J. P. Foley, No. 2; J. Lyons, No. 3; E Scully, stroke, and Romeo, cockswain. Several men went out in the outrlfi‘ged skiffs, among them being Charles Jenkins, D. Methmann, G. Wright, J. O’'Brien and A. Hennessey. An Olympic Boat Club crew, consisting ot Binsmore, bow; Scott, No. 2; :Clawson, No. 3; Longwell, stroke, and Percy Pem- broke, -.cockswain, is practicing and will row a trial race against a crew made up of George James or Percy Burr, Charles éfilghton, Charles Melrose and F. J. erry. Finnigan and Brady vs. Reading. These | players are all evenly matched and will undoubledly furnish some good sport. Marr and Griffin are the strongest play ers and one of them will surely figure ii the final mateh. The winner of each of the classes will receive a silver challenge cup to be won three times. Only those who entered the first tournament will be eligible to take part in the remaining ones. ‘The matches not completed last Sunday will be fin- ished’ to-morrow. The pubiic courts have proved a much greater success than was expected, and in spite of the fact that ten are aiready down it has become necessary to bulld more to accommodate all the players. Two courts are being constructed ay pres- ent, one of which will be of bitumen and will be used for exhibition matches. The Academic Athletic League officiale have decided to hoid their annual tennis matches on the California Club courts May 17 and 24. The singles. will be played on the former date and the doubles on ths latter. Heretofore hboth singles and doubles have been played on the same day, but an unusualiy large entry list is expected this year and it will be impossi- ble to finish both tournaments on the same day. For the last three years Low- ell High School has carried oif the hon- ors with such ease that little interest was shown in the matches.. This year Lowell will be considerably weaker, and as some of the other schools have much stronger representatives than last year it would be a difficult matter to pick the winner. Al Rosenberg is easily the best player in the league, and if his partner, Gardner, had not left Lowell that school would have won this year as easily as last. The latter's place will be taken by Beyfuss, a much weaker man. Some of the schools have already picked their teams and will be as follows: Lowell—Rosenberg in sin- gles and Rosenberg and Beyfuss 'n doubles; Polytechnic—Geary in singles and Geary and Mann in doubles; Lick—Gor- ham in singles and Gorham and Walker in doubles. Other schools that will he represented are Boone's, Hitcheock's, Alameda High, Berkeley High, Oakland High, St. Matthew's, Napa High, mont and Central "High. Each school will be represented by one man in singles and one team in doubles. An effort is be- ing made to get medals for the tourna- ment winners, as in previous years. The exhibition matches to have been played by the local experts to-day and to- | morrow at Penryn weré called off at the last moment.

HE gentle art of flycasting is at- I tracting many recruits from among the ranks of the anglers. being formed in Portland, Spokane and Los Angeles and the pastime gives promise of becoming a pepular one. The members of San Francisco casting Club are showing un al inter- est in the contests this season. The at- tendance at Stow Lake, Golden Gate Park, is Jarge and the results attained are excellent. The average distance of the casting is about 100 feet, while a cast of 120 feet is not unusual.. On a trout | stream an_angler ally casts from thirty to fifty feet.

Although no definite arrangements have been made, it is possible that the handi- cap that was set for April 19 bhetween Class A and Ciass B of the San Fran- cisco Golf Club may take place this afternoon on the Presidio links. Each team should consist of eight men, but if difficulty is experienced in getting tull teams the match may be played witn six men on a side. The handicap over e:ghteen holes, medal play, open to mem- bérs of any golf club on the Pacific Coast, Lwo prizes to be given, has not yet taken place, the date, May 1, having been set ;‘mwn in error. Theé event will be held ater, Last Saturday the Best .Ball handicap for men and“Women of the San Rafael Golf ‘Club began at 9:3 in the morning and will ‘be concluded to-day. Nearly all the playing members of the club are en- tered, there belng two prizes for the lowest net scores, one for each sex. The stroke competition, open to any amateur golfer, which is on the schedule for to- uay, has been postponed, as owing to the late rains the course is not yet in Suitable condition for an open cantest. In the playoff cf the tie between the ¥rancisco and Oakland Golr Clubs at lingame last Saturday Fomt eight was much weakened by the aksence of W. P. Johnson and C. P. Hub- hard. The former is playing the strong- cet game of any of the Oaklanders, and had he been present would have been pit- ted against john Lawson. C. P. Hub- bard has represented Oakland in nearly all the interclub matches since their in- stitution in 18%. As the last two men included in the Oakland team were responsible for a loss of sixteen holes, it Is_ quite likely ence ' of Johnson and Hubbard would have changed defeat into victory, especially as Lawson and Adamson, who played 1 and 2 on the San Francisco team, sccred only one hole between them for thelr side. B. D. Adamson played an ex- cellent game against R. M, Fitzgerald, who was dormie 3 at the sixteenth holc of the afternoon play. By taking the last three holes Adamson tled his opponent on the second eighteen holes and retained his advantage of one hole on the morn- ing’s play. The playoff of the tie be- tween the two clubs in 1889 at Burlingame resulted in a victory for Oakland, which won the first interclub trophy. The series of 1900, 1991 and 1902 have all resulted in victories for the San Francisco Golf Club. Though Oakland has had six play- ers on almost all its teams since 1888, it has had a dozen or more men filling the last two places. The S8an Francisco Clul i has nnlsy two men who played on its first team, S. L. Abbot Jr. and J. W. Byrne, but its teams have been of more uniform -strength than those of the rival club and have had a stronger ‘“tail.” Monterey ATTORNEY SUES FORTFEE.—Attorney F.

HE tenth annual relay race of the I California Associated Cyclists will be run one week' from to-morrew. The hundred-mile course around the bay, starting in this city at the City Hall, and ending in Alameda will be the route taken by the riders. The Bay City Wheelmen have won this remarkable race four times, Garden City Wheelmen three times and the Olympic Club Wheelmen and Aeme Wheelmen once each. The race this year undoubtedly lies between the Bay City Wheelmen and the Garden City Wheelmen. The teams are closely matched and the slightest ac- cident may influence the result. The Oakland Wheelmen, San Francisco ‘Wheelmen and Califernfa Cycling Ciub will also be represented. The five teams shoud make an interesting race, as thera was _little difference in their time last Sunday at San Leandro. The Bay City Wheelmen will have a club run and excursion to Vallejo to-mor- row. They will leave Jackson-street wharf at 9 a. m. on the steamer Caroline, Captain Leale. At Vallejo there will be mator and other races on the half-mile track. There will be many entries for the bicycle races from this city.
