At & meeting of owners of the Corin- thian Yacht Club, held Thursday night in ex-Commodore J. W. Pew’s office, it was decided to raise the bridge at Tiburon on March 25. A schedule of sailing and other events was drawn up. Opening day will be April 25 and on April 2% the opening | cruise in squadron will be taken. The other cruises and events are as follows: | r's Landing: May 23, cr 9 May annual regatfa; June t3 Petaluma dravbridge; June to Point San Pably, reception YACHTSMEN H club house and agua July 3 uise to Martin uly 4, through Mon czuma Sloush alieso: " July 19, annua hanticap race in cruising rig; Augus 1, (rojee ty Fetaluma drawbridge: August 8 'S, an- | pual cruise up the Bacramento River from endezvous @t Vallejo.

Snee g al unds of will be I and to-morrow on the courts. At 2 clock this a noon the final ¢ the handicap mixed doubles tournament w played on the k courts. The contes will be M Maud Varne and G. W. Finch of San Francisco and Miss Ethei and Walter Rateliffe of Berke- ley Ratcliffe is the champion of the the ersity lifornia and one of est players in the bay countles Miss Varney is equally skillful. The two men are aiso cvenly matched. Miss Var ney and Finch will r ve a handicap c > of 15.”" This is practically no handi cap at a and the match would be much more satisfactory were the players to mcet on even terms. The match will consist of three sets out of five.. The winners will recelve Davis rackets an the losers sflver loving cups. The final of the singles tournament f the champlonship of Alameda County wi also be piayed this afternoon. The matcn will take place on the courts of the Co- quelicot Tennis Club, East Oakiand. The contestants will be two of the strongest playe; in the University of California. George Baker last year represented the iversity in doubles and made a good record. He is a young player who is rap- idly coming to the front. Robert Variel is from Bouthern California and is an experienced man. He is a brilliant play er, but it is thought he will succumb 5 the superior steadiness of Baker. On Sunday Reuben Hunt, the present champion, will meet the winner of the Baker-Variel match. Hunt is consider- ably stronger than the other two and will probably win. As was expected, the doubles championship was won by Percy Murdock and Hunt. The only hard match they had to play was the finals, in which the Baker brothers took a set from them. The Washington's birthday tournament commenced on the park courts last Sun- day will be completed to-morrow. The fcur remaining players are George Janes, Fred Adams, Homer Hotchkiss and Will | Allen. Janes will meet Adams and allow him a handicap of “15.” Adams showed remarkable improvement last Sunday, and his chances of beating Janes are con- sidered by many to be good. Janes is un- doubtedly the most promising player on the public courts. He has good, aggres- sive strokes and is learning the game rapidly. In the other half of the semi-finals Will Allen, playing from “owe 3-6 of 15, Wi meet Homer Allen, who will receive a handicap of “2-6 of 15.” Hotchkiss 18 a steady player and the match should be close. It is expected Allen and Janes will meet in the final. The final of the California Club tour- nament, played last Monday, was some- whatof a disappointment. Whitney and Smith were both in poor physical condi- ion and not fit to stand a five-set match. Smith won the first two sets and Whitney tcok the third. The latter was playing | strongly when he was forced to retire. The fourth set would have been a hard- fought one had the match gone on. Smith ran Whitney around considerably in the | first set, and it was this that ‘was, mainly responsible for the latter's withdrawal. The invitation tournament played Sun- day and Monday on the Splivalo courts at Belmont resulted in a victory for Frank The latter re- In singles Ray Spli- mark, carried off the et h He beat Mitchell handily in the finals.

The match play | rounds will take place next week, there being no events set down on the sched- ule of the Ladies’ Annex until March 10. The Council's Cup for women that is being contested for is the second pre- sented for competition among the ladies |of the San Francisco Golf Club. The | first was won twice in 1900 by Miss Alice Hoffman, and in 1901 twice by Mrs. R. Gilman Brown. In 1902 Mrs. R. | G. Brown won a third competition and carried off the trophy. A new cup was then offered and Mrs. R. G. Brown won the first competition for this. The sec- ond competition took place in January of this year and was won by Mrs. J. k. Clark. As there will be only one more competition for the trophy during the present season, the cup will still remain in the possession of the San Francisco Golf Club, as three victories are re- quired to render it the property of any competitor. As it is expected that there will be a | large gathering of golfers in this city for the annual competition for the men's, amateur championship of the Pacific Coast. to be held on the Presidio links on March 11, 12, 13 and 14, the oppor- tunity will be taken of holding about that time the competition between ama- teur teams representing Northern and Southern California for the handsome trophy presented by J. W. Byrne. This tropny was first presented in 1901 and {was won in August of that year at Del Monte by a team frnom the south. Last year it was brought back from the south and returned to the donor. Owing to the small number of southern golfers present at Del Monte, no’ competition was held and the trophy now adorns the mantelpiece of the San Francisco Golf Club house. —_————— FORESTERS' FRIENDSHIP FUND.—The relief committee of the Foresters of ca will give its second social and dance its friendship fund in Native So evening. | nia is Orval Overs BERKELEY STAR PITEHBR 'TINLS THE STANDARD e He Has Speed and Agility in Addition to the Mighty Sin- ews and Muscles of a Giant.; IR HE most perfect representative of I the Amcrican ege athlete ever to enter t sity of Cglifor- , captain of next sea- team, pitcher of the va all nine, crack tennis player At in the hi son's football sity base student no tim | athletics at Berkeley has there appeared |a man who entered in =0 many sports with such phenomenal success as has Overall, the young giant from Visal Although not yet of age, “Ovie” ha perfect a developmient as has ever passe under the eritical inspection of Walter Magce, the director of the gynasium at | Berkeley. He has been pronounced a marvel of sinew and muscle. When in hard training for the football seascn Overall weighs a little over 1% pounds. He is two inches beyond six feet in height and has one of the largest chests on the campus. With his remarkable | | size he also combines a speed in running | down the foctball ficld on punts or steal- ing betwcen bases on the diamond which excells that of many of his smaller asso- clates In athletics. It is in the great college game that Overall's physical prowess most manifests itself. It is his sheer strength that makes the hole in the cardinal line through which the Berkeley halfback is shot. That he has science in a high degree was shown by his clever blocking for Sher- man’s run in the last intercollegiate match. Less spectacular though none the less wonderful are Overall's feats on the base- ball dlamond. From the pitcher's box more than once this steady player has held the key to the game in his hands. With a tricky style of pitching, Overall combines speed and steadiness which rarely fail him. To strike out his op- ponents in one-two-three order at a critical moment of the play is a feat not new to the versatile athlete. California has one more year of Over- all. He entered from Visalia in the class of 1904 and by his regularity in his studles graduation with his class is assured. Dur- ing bis freshman year he made the foot- ball eleven and later won out for pitcher of his college baseball team. The coming year and a half are anxiously looked upon by the Berkeley adherents. When Overall goes his place will be a hard one to fill. —_————————— Indicts Hechheimer for Forgery. The Grand Jury yesterday returned a secret indictment on the charge of for- gery against Milton Hechheimsr, who forged the name of John D. Spreckels to certain orders upon which he obtained money and wine. Presidng Judge Mur- asky fixed Hechheimer's ball at $2000 and ordered a warrant to be issued for his ar- rest. Hechheimer s now out on habeas corpus. g There should be no good reason for failure to abtain a copy of The Sunday Call, with Art Supplement, from news- dealers, train news agents, etc. while quite suitable for boating quarters, COMMISSIONERS < ARE FAVORABLE TO ROWING MEN teh A Ariel and South End Clubs| Expect to Have Site Allotted for Boathcuses in Short Time. | i S5 OMMITTEES of the Ariel and bor Sor End rowing clubs were present at the meeting of the Har- Commissioners and found the members of the board favorably inclined to the application of the oarsmen for a site on the bay suitable for boathouses. The oniy thing now standing in the way | is the protest of the oil company on the ground that it may require the land for A whart at some future time. The site, owever, which the oasmen hope to get, has not enough depth of water for a commercial wharf. It is also almost the ouly site now available on the water front for the erection of boathouses. Clubs which encourage healthy amateur sport | among the young men of the city are certainly beneficial and should receive the fullest recognition from public bodies. The Ariel Rowing Club has walted pa tiently for a long time and the South End | Rowing Club must soon leave its quar- ters at the foot of Third street. The oil company was mnotified some time ago to | appear before the Harbor Commissioners | and state the grounds of its protest, but | no representative of the corporation was | present at the last meeting of the com- | mission. The corporation is to be notified | a second time. There seems to be good | reason to believe that the rowing clubs will soon realize their wish. At the last meeting of the Ariel Rowing Club it was decided to hold an excursion tc Stockton by the Santa Fe route some time in May next. There will probably be some rowing races on the river and scme athletic contests with the members of the Stockton Athletic Assoclation and boat clubs. A boating association has been formed at Stanford University with thirty char- ter members, several of whom have han- died an oar. Paul C. Harper, of the class of 1903, from Secattle, who has rowed at the University of Washington, was elect- ed president, and R. H. Gaither, of the | clags of 195, was chosen secretary. The association met on Wednesday to adopt a constitution and to devise means for | raising money to purchase boats and equipment. —————— On Trail of Ticket Scalpers. Tax Collector Smith detailed twenty of his deputies to swoop down on the ticket scalpers in front of the Mechanics' Pa- villon during the Corbett-Hanlon fight last Thursday night. Whenever a man ‘was seen trying to sell a ticket at an ad- vanced rate he was ordered to desist. Frank Blades was placed under arrest for refusing to obey orders and W. Morris, the only ticket scalper who has pald the | monthly license of 3300, received a blow | on the face during the dispute. | ———— 1 School Boy Fatally Shoots Himself. | LIVINGSTON, Mont., Feb. 21.—David Willcott, a 16-year-old boy, shot himselr | fatally to-day. His father ordered him to school and the boy, taking exception to his parent’s order, procured a 22-cali- Dber rifie and fired a bullet into his left breast just above the heart. mend STANFORD NINE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT e Freshmen Display Fine Form on Track Team, and Are Expected to Make Excellent Showing. | TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 27 After playing almost brilliantly in its first preliminary games, the var- sity baseball nine has apparently taken a slump. Whether it is to be permanent or not the weeks intervening before the first intercollegiate game must tell. Dur- irg the practice in the early part of this week the varsity ball tossers played like a bunch of grammar school boys. ey did manage to fleld the ball they did t know what to do with it. The show- d nine, partic- on W would struck the students on the bleach- if it did not have a se- S g made a ve as ridiculc ous side to it. early all the members of the nine played listlessly, making no apparent ef- | fort te take hard chances. Some of the nien have been coming out on the dia- between a h hour and an hour late, apparently because of a feeling that thelr positions on the nine were secure. Parker, the varsity pitcher, s twirl- | ng in fine form. Should he continue to | fmprove as rapidly as he has n the past there will be little to choose be‘s i delivery and that of Ov alifornia’s in intercollegiate games. teher McGilvray is not playing in nearly so good form as he did last season. His game, like the majority of the nine during the lust week, has been extreme and indifférent. The team as a whole is batiirg better this year than last. The conditions on the track, while not such as to inspire overconfidence, are en- couraging. In fres , Turpin, Weller, Lovell, West and Estes, the cardinal has scme valuable additions to her track ma- terial. Weller, after winning both high and lcw hurdles with ease in the meet with the Oakland High School athletes entered the broad jump and broke the Stanford record In that event. Turpin will probably be Stanford’s fastest man in the hundred-yard dash and can be count. ed o to come in close to the winner in two-twenty."" The varsity team will be exceptionally strong in the fleld events. In the pole vault the three places in the intercolleg- | jate meet will probably fall among Beach, '03; Dole, '03; Henley, 04, and Bell, '05 of Stanford. Hyde, '04, should win the shot- put, and Crawford, '05, the hammer throw. In the broad jump, besides Weller, '08, who holds the reeord, both Lyons, '03, varsity broad jump last year, and Fresh- man West have displayed marked abil- ity. twenty-one feet ten inches and followed it with a jump of twenty-two feet one- | halt inch. The cardinal will not be so well represented in the high jump, al- though Henley, ‘M4, and Bell, '05, if they | round into form, are capable work. —_— ACTIVITY AT BERKELEY, of good Baseball Players and Track Athletes | Settle Down to Hard Work. BERKELEY, Feb. 27.—When the Uni- versity of California baseball nine went down to defeat before the Santa Clara team surprise, not only among the Berkeley supporters, but among the players them- selves. Althcugh it Is acknowledged that |it was an “off” day for the Californians, the players are wondering If they are go- ing to have any more like it at critical tfies. The game has had one great benefit and that is to make the players get together for harder work. Overall's poor showing in the box was perhaps the greatest surprise of all the surprisingly poor playing the California team did at Santa Clara. Coach Peter Lohman will labor industriously with him and with the other members of the team to get them settled down to consistent work again. Although Trainer Christie has not held the watch on the track men, he is con- vinced they are showing a steady fm. provement. Next week they will be given | a chance to show what they can do in the way of making records for themselves on ihe cinder path. Several new men are showing up well. In. the sprints Gordan and Ertz are among the new men who | are likely to make records for them- selves. In the distances Ching, a China- man, and Carpenter. a negro, are work- ing steadily and show great promise. Ching was out last yéar, but made no reg- .

This new bunch {of weight men will be worked hard, as California needs thelr services sadly When Plaw was in college and threw the hammer so far that his competitors never dreamed of getting within forty feet of |him and put the shot in something the same manner. youthful aspirants for shot {and hammer events were discouraged. On | Plaw’s departuré from college California | has found herselt practically without men | for th two events. All new material will be worked over to the best advan |tage. Fautz, who practiced some las | year, is improving steadily. Putting the shot with him are Kelsey, Lyneh and { Snedeker, all new men. In the hammer throw Boynton and Annear are doins first-rate for beginners. Weile and Sims ,are vautiing well and Hickey is getting | up in the high jump. The dates for a number of basebail and track games have been set for the fu- | ture. To-morrow at 1:3 o’clock the Cal Irm-num nine will play the Independents.
