The marriage: license of Vito Silvestro and Maria Cirella, bpth lof street, which was’taken out op_Thursday last, was returned yesterday, by A. Cir- father of the prospective bride. ella stated-that Silvestro-had-sworn faisely that the girl is 18 years of age, when in fact sbe is only 15. Silvestro was eccompanied by Giuseppe Deluca, who vouched for the truth - of statements. Cirella said that he wéuld not proceed against Silvestro for perjury, but he simply desired to have the license can- celed, which 'was done. e e——— Mrs. Flood Is Acquitted. The case of Mrs. Cecilia Flood of 402 Jones street, wha was arrested by Officer McMurray of the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Children on a charge of cruelty to her boy, Bruce Flood, was acquitted before Judge Fritz vesterday. Three witnesses testified they had seen the defendant under the in- fluence of liguor, but could not testify as | to any case of cruelty. Judge Fritz dis- missed the case owing to the insufficiency of the evidence and added that there was nothing to show conspiracy.

DELANO, the Rocklin cours- | ® authority on the breeding of | greyhounds, has sounded a note of warning. He holds that California leashmen are | coursing their greyhounds to death before | | retiring them to the stud. As a sequence he claims the stock is deteriorating and, unless a halt is called, the greyhounds of | the future will be sadly deficient in sinew and bone and their speed and stamina must suffer. It is the ambition .of the California_breeders to develop 2 dog which will win the English Waterioo. Mr. Delané thinks this an impossibility under ! present conditions, In proof of his theory-he says there are no young dogs coming up which promise to class with Beacon, Palo Alto, Narei: sus, Young Amer Sisquoc. “The dam of these great greyhounds were not s verely tried on the field. The same ap plies to the dams of Rosette, Mayflower, Wild Tralee, Tralee Boy, Wedgewood and others. The warning - sounded by Mr. Delano should be heeded by the representative men_of the sport who have at interest the future of the greyhound jn America. A. R. Curtis has sold Candelaria to E Wright of Los Angeles. The dok is by Skyrocke e, and is a brother’ of Luxor and Young America. . The same owner sold War Eagle, by ‘Skyrocket- Vanity Fair, to J. C. Netz of Los Angeles. J. L. Ross has purchased Game Bird from Dr. Leonard. This is a_ sister to Creswick, being by Herschel's Pride-May flower. T. Jolley_has bought Master Whalen from M.

Hanlon is still a young man and is re- ally only at the beginning of his baseball career. Hulen has not yet transformed Sacra- mento into a pennant winning team. Now that Hickey is gone, Fisher is worse off than ever. It may not be generally known, but Rube Waddell can go some with his «dukes. While in Los Angeles he does boxing stunts with Jeffries. Rube has a stiff punch and a block that is said to be a wonder. Oakland has only captured one game on the home grounds. This seems rather strange for a team that is leading the league. In last Wednesday’s game at Oakland, anly nine hits were made by both teams. Five of these were two-baggers. Oak- land ‘secured but four hits, of which three were doubles. If the crowds continue to increase om the other side of the bay, the Oakland grounds will not be able to meet the de- mand. Since the commuters have devel- open a winning streak, Oakland has be- come a great ball town. Mohler's feat of stealing second while the pitcher held the ball seems incredi- ble, but the little fellow has a knack of sliding under a baseman in such a way as to make it nearly impossible to. put the ball on him. Householder has established a record with three doubles in one game. Truck Eagan did it in one of the closing games last season. Jimmy Hannivan is doing brilliant work for the Angels, both in_the fleld and with the club. Hannivan bats equally well from either side, so the numerous south- ma};vsddo not bother him. odson is the only player in the league who has failed to make i base hit. H%‘é- son was never rated as a_slugger, but he ought.to get in and make a hit just for luck. @ il el @ new shell built. Several men are practic- ing in_the outrigged skiffs, among them being James Pallas, E. Wolf, E. Cashman, J. O'Brien, Robert McArthur and J. Walsh. A South End barge crew, made up of E. Pallas, bow; S. Berger, No. 2: J. P. Foley, No. 3; J. Lyons, stroke, and Albert Sonnenberg, cockswain, rowed around to North Beach to the Dolphin re- gatta on Sunday. - Another crew that went out for practice was composed of T. Barry, bow; E. Wolf, No. 2; E. Moore, No. 3; J. E. Scully, stroke, and Albert Schnenberg, cockswain. —_— TWENTIETH CENTURY COOX BODKS | ILL HANLON is improving steadily both in baiting and fielding. When B. HINCHMAN, president of the Pacific Association of the Ama- teur Athletic Union, bas re- ceived a letter from Louis H. | Frankenheimer, president of the Stockton | Athletic ~ Association, stating that the | board of directors met on May 4 and ex- | pressed a unanimous desire to send a | four-oared barge crew and a single sculler to the annual regatta on Lake Merritt. | A single sculler will certainly be sent by | the Stockton association, but the barge crew will be required to demonstrate by | their regular training and practice thal they will worthily represent the slough | oarsmen. If the crew sticks to its work | {and shows it can row it will take part | in the Oakland races. Two barge crews of the Ariel Rowing Club will_begin to practice as soon as | | they can find a place from which to train. These are the intermediate and the junicr | | crews. The intermediate crew conslsts of | Charles Wilson, bow; E. J. Lynch, No. 2; E. Smith, No. 3 and William Keegan, | | stroke., Of the foregoing Keegan was | stroke of the champion junior barge crew |at the Lake Merritt regatta and E. L. | Smith rowed No. 2 in the same boat. E. |J. Lynch and E. Smith are intermediate. oarsmen. The junior crew -is made up of E. Bryant, bow; Mat Brady, No. 2; ‘Willlam McKee, No. 3, and Henry Luhr- sen, stroke. | . The Alameda Boating Club has decided | to hold the opening regatta of the season | on Oakland Creek on May 18. The senior | | barge crew will be made up of George Lewis, bow: W. G. Hanson, No. 2; John Lewis, No. 3, F. W. Ayers, stroke and Bert Cameron, cockswain, |3t is probable the James Bay Rowing | Club of Victoria, B. C., will send four- | oared shell and barge crews to tne Lake | Merritt regatta. The Portland Rowing Club will also send a four-oared shell crew, and the men composing it will be | willing to row in a Californian barge as | well. If these northern visitors and tie | Stockton crew come to the regatia, that | event will surpass in interest any rowing races ever held in the State. During the week Theodore Gier, chair- {man of the celebration committee of the | Oakland Merchants’ Exchange, met rep- resentatives from the various rowing clubs. One thousand dollars will be, set | | aside for the regatta, to pay the trans- i portation and other expenses of the oars- | men from the north and to provide prizes | for the successful contestants. Several ladles visited the Olympic Club boathouse at Belvedere last Sunday and ‘were taken out for trips in barges around the cove and up the bay toWard Paradise Cove, J. Pembroke pulled up as far as El Campo In an outrigged skiff, and Paddock, Scott, Horrigan and James were also out in skiffs. John T. Barrs will take the place of Scott in the barge crew, as the latter cannot train regularly. Prizes for the members of the winning barge crew have been presented by Charles Brandenstein, Pembroke, Kenneth Melrose, C. W. Dobie and George James. The Triton Club’s boathouse is occupy- |- ing its new site on North Beach at the foot of Larkin street. At the last meeting of the South End Rowing Club it was decided to prevent members who are in arréars in their dues from using the boathouse and other club property. and to permit the racing barge BSouth End to be taken out only by a reg- ularly organized crew, and when the two practice barges are already in use. James Foley was elected temporary financial secretary during the absence of Charles Jenkins, who has started on his trip to England. A. J. Mellitz has resigned as a delegate to the Pacific Association, and T, I Fitzpatrick has been chosen in his place. Captain J. E. Scully intends to pull in the shell race at the Lake Merritt ¥ regatta.

ANGLERS LONG 'FOR HOLIDAYS They Are Locking Wistfully Forward to Decoration ! Day oa a Trout Stream 1 ld:\yx. This will afford many of them their first day this season on { some favorite trout stream. Some will go to the McCloud, others to | Slms on the; Upper Sacramento, while by far the greater number will g0 to the Truckee, which has afforded such great sport for years. Owing to the unusually late rains the season is backward, and gocd fiy fishing is hardly expected on the big rivers much before the end of the | month. It has been storming recently on the McCloud, so there can be but poor fiy fishing there for some time yet. Conditions on Paper Mill Creek are pe- culfar. The fish seem to run in and out, the stream affording great sport one day and being apparently devoid of fish the following day. Those anglers fortunate | to hit upon the right day have enjoyed great sport. The near-by streams yielded but poor | réturns last Sunday. T. Rothschild and Will Haas whipped the San Gregorio in San Mateo County, securing few good sized fish. They report seeing men with hundreds of trout from three to four inches in length. Frank Veérnon took an eleven-pound striped bass at the “big fill,”” two and a half miles beyond Point Reyes. Charles Huyck and F. M. Haight fishea the Paper Mill from the White House to the sand spit last Sunday without much returns. Walker NGLERS are jlooking forward wist- fully to the Decoration day holi- W. A. Cooper and George caught thirty small trout near Camp Tay- lor. Charles Kewell secured twelve, J. B. Kenniff, Walter Burlingame, E. L. Goodman, . Currier, James Watt, C. B. Hollywood and A. C. Cunningham went after bass on San Leandro Bay last Sunday. The bass must have heard of their coming, for they departed for parts unknown. As “it is not all of fishing to fish,” the gentlemen found other means of enjoying themselves. Frank Marcus will spend to-morrow and Monday at Point Reyes. He will divide his time between the bass and the trout and expects a pleasant outing, if not a full creel. A James Watt and J. B. Kenniff will spend to-morrow at Point Reyes, going espe- cially prepared for bass. Pariser, J. Bliss and F. W, Shat- | tuck fished the San Antonio, a branch of Petaluma Creek, last Sunday. They se- cured six sm(?ed bass, the largest weigh- ing five pounds. The Fish Commissioners have sent 800 large mouth .black bass from Sisson | hatchery to Marysville. They are one year old and will be liberated in the Sac- ramento at three different points near Marysville. These are desirable food ana game fish, and it is hoped they will thrive and multlfil)fl I MONTEREY, May 9.—The most extraor- dinary run of fish ever seen in these wat- ters is in progress. The waters in the vicinity of the harbor are literally packed with sardines, mackerel and halibut. So dense is the mass of fish in the water that | the supply of oxygen was partially ex- hausted and thousands of the surf fish which inhabit the shallow water came to the surface. Men and boys in boats easily caught large numbers with their hands. Yesterday the school came so close Inshone that large .numbers of the smaller sar- dines and smelt were cast upon the beach by _the rollers. Fishermen here attribute the phenom- enon to the pressure in the outer bay of a large school of sea lions, and believe the smaller fish, which are the natural prey of the sea lions, have sought safety in shallow water. ‘A varied and select line of cameras and photographic supplics at Sanborn, Vall & Co.’s, 741 Market street. . \ CITY GOLFING NEARLY ENDED Links at Country' Resorts Now Attract Lovers of the Popular Scotch Game HE schedules of the San Francisco and the Oakland golf clubs are nearly played through, though many members of the clubs will continue to ‘practice on- the Presidlo or Point Adams links throughout the sum- mer. No datg has been set by the tourna- ment committee of the San Franeisco Golf Club for the handicap match be- tween class A and class B teams. It is possible the event will be allowed to fall through. The handicap tournament open to the members of any golf club on the Pacific Coast, which was set down for Thursday, May 1, will probably be played at a Jater date. As a public holi- day is the most convenient day for such an event, May 30 may be selected. As the number of golfers on the city links diminishes, that on the links at Burlingame, Belmont, San Rafael and other summer resorts increases. The San Rafael Golf Club officials have issued a schedule providing three or more events for every menth to the end of Septem- er. The “best ball” competition was brought to a conclusion last Saturday, E. | J. Hooper winning the men's prige with a net score of 82 for 18 holes. W: J. Ca sey was second with a net score of 8 Mrs. George Heazelton won the ladies’ trophy with a net score of 63 for 9 holes Mrs, E. J. Hooper was second with a net ore of 64. No date has yet been set for the men’s stroke competition, open to all amateur golfers. On Saturday, May I there will be a handicap stroke competi- tion over 18 holes, beginning at 9:30 a. m. for women and at 1:30 p. m. for men. On Decoration day contests will begin for three awards—the club trophv. the women's cup and the second eight prize. The qualifying rounds will begin at 9:36 a. m. and the elght best scores will com- Dete afterward at hole play. The men Who make the next eight best scores will compete for the second eight prize. At 3:30 in the afternoon of the same day there will be competition in driving for men and for women. On May 31, at 5:3) a. m., the first round at hole play for the women's cup will begin, and at 1:30 p. m. the first round at hole play, for the club trophy for the second eight prize, The strongest players among the men of the San Rafael Golf Club are J. J. Crooks, who is captain this year; R. Git. man Brown, R. J. Davis and George Hea- zelton. Mrs. R. Gilman Brown retains her supremacy among the ladies, Alfred E. Acklom, secretary of the movement for providing public links for San Francisco, recently sent communica- tions to the superintendents of public golf courses in' New York, Boston, Chicago and other large citles of the United States asking for information with regard to the cost of laying out a course, of maintaining it and providing a clubhouse. Commissioner John E. Rustis of the borough of Bronx, New York, replies that the cost of laying out an e hteen-hoie course was twenty thousand. dollars and the yearly cost of keeping up the links is about $§7250. The number of permits to players issued for the present year up to April 24 was 1872, the average number of players on week days being 250 and on Sundays and public holidays about 700. The rules were arranged by the profes- sional golfer in charge of the course, and there are no fées to be pald by the play- ers. Ten men are employved in keeping the course in good condition, the clity ap. propriating the money necessar: lhszir W:lles-d I sty uperintendent J.-A. Pettigrew o Department of Parks in Bg:ton sttatt):j that the public links are in Frank- lin Park.” where theére are two courses, one of nine holes for:expert players amd another of six heles for beginners. The nine-hole course was established in the fall of 1896 and the six-hole course in the spring of 19L Before the spring of 190 the links was under the control of a ru- fessional golfer, who .was allowed to charge 15 _cents a round, or % cents for two rounds, and to take the profits from the sale of Folf material and of teaching beginners. In the spring of 1900 the board took the control of the links into its own hands, giving the use of the course and of lockers in the clubhouse free, but not providing clubs or balls. The plan has worked well. During the season of 1900 about 40,000 rounds were played, as many as 875 having been played in one day. During 191 the courses were in use fo~ seven and a half months. Five men en an average were employed, and the main- tenance of the course cost $1500, including the rolling of the putting greens and of part of the fair green with a steam roller. The ccst of making the putting greens was about fifty or /sixty dollars apiece. The teeing grounds are wooden frames about five feet by six feet, filled with heavy loam covered with sand. People of all classes play on the links, some of them being mechanics and laborers. The golfhouse was remodeled from a shelter the sloop Presto | speed will be. Though by | was beaten last Sunday margin of 17 seconds, Frz pressed himself as quite satis | her performance. The two against the flood tide along sho considered a severe test of seams 3 | and of knowledge of the bay. It had | been intended to hold the second test race to-da and the third, if a third | should prove necessary, to-morrow, but { it was found that several of the men ] the crews of the two yachts could not get away from their work all day on a Saturday. In last Sunday’'s race Presto pointed higher than Harpoen, but Harpoon out- | footed her. There are, moreover, those | who say that Harpoon might have won | by a larger margin had Cook not been held so long in the run past Blossons Rock buoy, and not stood over so far toward Point Blunt on the reach after rounding the Southampton shoal stake- boat. Harpoon had a little the better of the start and was 50 seconds ahead on round- | ing the Presidio shoal buoy. After the | first run to Blossom Rock buoy Harpoon | was about five minutes ahead. Harpoon by | was steered Fred Russ Cook. The | erew consisted of F. Meyer, Holt Frost | and her owners, W. H. Toepke and John | Sharp. Presto was sailed by PFrank | Stone, who had with him Douglas Ers- | kine, 'F. E. Schober, George Harrold, J. | H. Hopps and L. McLean. The San | Francisco sloop The Challenger was un- | der way in the channel, and started | try her speed against the racers, but the jaws of her gaff broke and she was com- pelled to retire. Extreme lightness of | rigging is so much sought after by the Eastern and British designers of racing craft that they are in constant danger of carrying something away. The fore- stay of The Challenger carried away last Sunday and she stood some- risk of los- | ing her mast, but one of her crew, C. F. Austin, quickly devised an ingenious means of taking a halyard out to the for- | ward end of the bowsprit and reeving it i through a block so as to serve as a fore- stay. The fleet of the California Yacht will cruise to Paradis return to-morrow. Next Saturday t | fleets of the San Franeciseo, Corinthi and California yacht clubs will rendez- | yous at Vallejo, and on Sunday the San | Francisco vachts will race down to Sau- | salito, with time allowance.

W. Beakbane having promised to present a bat apiece. The conditions on which these two prizes shall be awarded will be decided at meeting of the California Cricket A: ciation, to be held in the office of Messrs. Brown, 303 California street, at 4:30 next "Tuesday afternoon. The pennant won last year by the Alameda Cricket Club, which had the highest percentage in test :.;mches. will be awarded at the same i time. [ Though the Pacific cricket team won the opening match of the season last Sunday, the Alameda eleven might have Been got out for far fewer runms, as some of their batsmen had their stay at the o a wickets lg)h!h’lernbly prolonged by the lax fielding and poor catching of the Pa- cific men.
