Cerf, captain, says it is impossible for him to get together a four-oared crew. W. B. Goodwin, who has acted as coach of the university crews, is too busy and Arthur Smith, one of the most valuable' men in the crew, is going away from Berkeley on a vacation, hich he tried unsuccessfully to postpons. No other man is available to take the place of Smith. P. E. Stowell of the Portland Rowing Club states the Portland crew will use its best efforts to win the barge race | at the Fourth of July regatta. The Port- landers are very desirous of having a shell race, as they consider shell racing the highest form of the sport, and are anxious to impress Californians with | that idea. P. E. Stowell rightly says that if the University of California and Stanford once became interested in row- | ing the sport would receive a great im- petus. The Portland four are S. M. Lu- ders, R. C. Hart, R. G. Durham and P. E. Stowell. William Patton will also come to California to pull in the single shell race. The Portlanders will use the boat > of the University of California on Sessions Basin for training quarters. There was a large attendance of mem- bers and much enthusiasm at the last regular meeting of the Ariel Rowing Club. Nearly twenty new members have been taken into the club recently. Two crews are practicing for the Fourth of July regatta. They have recetved per- | mission of the South End Rowing Club | to_use its boathouse. 8. J. Pembroke has been appointed the ! representative of the Fourth of July cel- ebration committee to attend the meet- ings of ‘the regatta committee of the Pacific Association.

Pacific Club Has Won All I's Pennant Matches This Season. cricket clubs in existence this year, while in 1895 there were five clubs, and two cricket grounds, one at Klinknerville and the other at Web- ster street, Alameda, which were in use on every Sunday during the season, the cricketers are still enjoying their fav- orite recreation. The Santa Cruz and Sacramento cricket clubs have introduced an agreeable ele- ment of variety into the game, and the California Cricket Association has been strengthened by the inclusion of the Burns Valley and Lakeport clubs. The association, which at no time in its exist- ence has had more than seven clubs on its roll, now has six members. The fact that the Santa Cruz and the Sacramento clubs take part in the series of matches for the championship pennant and that their batsmen and bowlers have a chance to win the prizes offered by Vice President Captain John Metcalfe and T. W. Beak- bane has given those clubs a lively in- terest in the association and in their fel- low cricketers in San Francisco. The clubs in the assoclation represent a more gen- eral and widespread interest in cricket than ever before. The two city clubs, while they have lost by death or removal some of their best- known players, have received valuable accsssions and now have between forty and fifty members each on their rolls, The young Californians who have learned the game here have shown a remarkable aptitude for it. feated a strong team of players represent: ing Old England, though the team in- cluded such excellent cricketers as Harold B.

Wilding the Jamieson brothers are dolnf excel- lent work. With the exception of Arthur Dickenson, who, next to E. G. Sloman, was the strongest all-round player in the old California club, the strength of the Alameda team, which won the champion- ship last year, is almost entirely derived from the Croll brothers, the Bird broth- ers, A. S. Willis, A. 1. Stahi, old ‘Ward and other young Californians. Several good cricketers are unattached, and there has been talk of farming a third club in connection with the Olympic Club, but it is not likely the new organiz- ation will come into existence during the resent season. It would be a good thin or local cricket if a third city club coulg be formed as it would give each of the al- ready existing clubs a fresh antagonist.

Manager Harris, who has been doing a bit of searching on the quiet, admits he has a cou- ple of stars to aid his present bunch of twinklers 1 their efforts to shine bright- ly in the baseball firmament. Harris refuses to give out the names of any of the new talent until they are safe- 1y corraled in the local pasture, but ob- serving ones say Sam Dungan and Danny Shay will soon chase the elusive sphere around the Eighth street lot. Shay was a favorite here last year and will be a tower of strength to the locals. Dungan is at present in the American Associa- tion and is well known as a slugger, though rather slow on the paths. ) ‘When these two new lads arrive, it is probable Dungan will grace the initial cushion, Shay will tear around in short territory and Nordyke will once again roam around in center. A couple of the present staff wiil likely find it necessary to resign, though it is not yet known how things will be run.

Park - Players to Present a Formidable List cf Contestan's. HE next champlonship tennis tour- nament to be played is the State championship, an annual event, set for July 4. Previous to last year the coast .championship tournament was held on this date, but the dates were then changed. The singles and doubles tourna- ments will be played in.September, while in future the State tournament will be held in Jul§. The latter event, like the ebampionship of San Francisco, was in- augurated last year and was won by George Whitney, the coast champlon. It has not been settled whether the present champion will be called upon to go through the tournament or stand out and play the winner. As there is no chal- lenge cup up the former course will sure- ly be decided upon. In this case it is doubtful if Whitney will play, as he does not like the idea of playing through a large tournament. Should the champion stay out the State tournament would be a reproduction of the San Francisco championship, as the entry list would contain the same names with a few add- ed With George Whitney out of it, his brother Robert &nd Grant Smith would be the favorites. 4 The coast championship events will be played at the same time and in the same order as last year. The events for women will be held during ‘the last week of August and the men’s during the first week of September. They will inciude women’'s singles and doubles, mixed doubles and men’s singles and doubles. Al championship events will be played at San Rafael this year. Grant Smith, who won the tournament last week, played an erratic game. In the opening jrounds he plaved poorly, while on Sunday he played the game of his life. 'I'e way he beat Collier in the finals was a surprise, as the loser played a strong- game throughcut the tournament and was Pnk by many to win. Smith played with all his old-time confidence and was strong at the net. Collier trled his hardest, but was able to fiez only five games in three sets. Percy Murdock, the Alameda County champlon, played a good game against Smith. The result might have been different had he kept the latter away from the net more in the third set. The Golden Gate Park Tennis Club fin- ished its second class singles tournament on the public courts last Eunda%. The first class was_won by Charles Dunlap, outh in straight who defeated Harry ~The latter made a much better sets. showing on the California Club courts than did Dunlap.

There were storms in the McCloud Riv- {er district and on the Truckee and the Sacramento Decoration day, putting a damper on the sport of the anglers who went to those sireams. W. D. Mans- field, Ed.

George Lane, Dr. F. J. Lane and A. R. Powers fished the Carmel last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They took in all some 500 fish, chiefly small ones. George Lane caught a five-pound steelhead on a spoon. The favorite fly was the brown hackle and the black gnat. William Ellis and George Ellis fished pear Point Bonita some days since. The former caught an eight-pound capazoni, a member of the cod family. His brother caught a number of red cod weighing from three to five pounds. Mr. Fountaln sent down a fine box of fish from Boca on Wednesday, which in- dicate the angling has improved there. It should continue good until the heat George Hass, Willlam Hutton and T.

Ladies’ Day Champion Stake to Be Decided Early in July. N unusual amount of illness in the Avarlnus kennels about this city has for the time being reduced the num- ber of greyhounds available h?r coursing. For some years past about this time an epidemic has swept through the kennels. It has not been fatal, and former years disappeared almost as sud- denly as it appeared. It has reduced the number but not the quality of the run- ning dogs. At Unfon Park a consolation stake will fill the programme to-morrow to its usual size. It has practically been settled that the Ladies’ Day champion stake will not | be run until the first Sunday in_ July. | This rich stake will then be the feature of a three days’ meeting, extending over | the Independence day holiday. This will be almost a rerunning of the California Coursing Committee stake, all the crack dogs being entered. H. F.

Ber- nard is_being sued by Al Raymond for | $42 50. Raymond was formerly a partner | of Bernard in a specialty act, and the money Is alleged to have been loaned by Raymond in New York City and never re- turned. Bernard was on the witness stand, and while admitting that he had borrowed the money said that the debt had been paid. Vhy,” said Bernard, “when our em- pioyer decided that ‘Ra{mcnd and I had better dissolve partrership, as he consid- ered that I could do better in a single act, Raymond ‘cried like a child and begged me to continue the partnership. I did so, and expended a great deal of money “for advertisements and photo- graphs, and I always considered that my debt to Raymond was lquidated.” “Is it not a fact,” said Attorney Davis, ‘“‘that you once sald that you owed Ray- mond @ but would not give him a mickel?” “Vy should I give him a nickel if T owed him $1 502" said Bernard, innocent- Il_v. lapsing Into his stage dialect, which made the spectators smile.
