C. Casidy of the Pacific Cricket Club and H. W. Brown of the Alameda Cricket | Club were appointed a committes to pre- pare a echedule of matches to be played during the coming season for the cham- pionship of 1903. Provision will be made in the schedule for the new club, which has adopted the name of the San Fran- cisco County Club. This fs thought by many cricketers to he an unsuitable des- ignation, as most of the members of the Pacific and Alameda clubs live in San Francisco. When matches are arranged between residents of San Francisco and those of Alameda or Marin County it has been usual to designate the city team as San Francisco County. Moreover, it is expected some at least of the members of the new club will not be residents of San Francisco. However, a new club js so desirable a thing for the cricketers that it may well be permitted to select any name that its members may wish to bear.

COLLEGE NINE IS A NURSERY ! FOR{PLAYERS ‘Various Stars Make Their | Debut in Phoenix Base- ball Team of Oakland Its Honorable Record Goes | Back a Score or More of Years on Many Fields Mary’'s College, Oakland, ranking ey I among the leaders in that sport in | academic and Intercollegiate con- tests, has won a splendid record during the more than a score of years it has been in existence. Although the coliege has always been at the forefront in athletics, its fleld days being notable events in the collegiate vear, no outdoor sport has recetved more encouragement and enthusiastic support from both faculty and students than base- ball. The reason is that the nines of the college have kept up from year to year the splendid record of success on which the college men look with much pride. In addition to its sucecess on the dia- mond, the St. Mary’s College teams have glven to the baseball world some of its cleverest players, men of national repute. Lorrigan, Loughran, Corbett, Cooney, Geggus, Arnold, Lawton and Hanlon are al! alumni of St. Mary's and are gradu- ates from the Phoenix nine. In 1892, in a series of games with Berke- ley, Stanford and Rellance, the Phoenix team won every game. In 1534 the college won tho silver trophy offered at the mid- winter fair for a series of games between Stanford, Santa Clara and St. Ignatius. The present team is keeping up the good record. Out of sixteen games played this term the team has lost but three games— one to each of the universities. The team has been badly crippled for the past month. The players feel they can defeat either university, as they did last year, but for the illness of some of the best players. The Phoenix nine is under the particu- lar patronage of Brother Agnon of the college faculty, who has done much to keep allve an enthusiastic interest in the pastime. Dugdale Will Manage the Team.

At about the end of the month the two teams will meet again, probably the Presidio athletic grounds in this ecity. Until the 1st inst. the Vampires had pur- sued an unbeaten the seasdn it would never have been sup- posed they would suffer their only defeat from the Albion Lodge eleven, which was beaten by every eleven in turn. But, while the Vampires grew weaker toward the end of the season, the Albion Lodge team became stronger. The lost,, Petersen, the best fullback in the league, after the match against the Rifles on Februa in which he had two ribs broken in a charge. Early in the series of league matches D. Jamieson, their go: keeper, was compelled to retire the rest of the season, and G. S. McCallum was knocked out in the match against the Rifles. Then the forward line of the Vampires, while fast and displaying good combination work, is light and likely to suffer in charges The Rifles have an excellent all on course round team. With Willlamson in goal, Forrest and Hodge as backs, their defense is good. The halfbacks are W. E. Cham- bers, generally considered the best indi- vidual player in the league; Bird and McKay, who do excellent work. The for- ward line of the Rifles, consisting of Leahy, Churchill, Shand, Connolly and Lyden, is fast and strong and works well together. Lyden is a little inclined to keep the ball too long before centering, but he is the trickiest dribbler in the league and a good shot at goals. Connolly plays a keen, hard game and centers the ball well. Churchill ana Leahy are quick and Shand is probably the ‘best center forward in the league. From an inspection of the play of the Rifles, as well as from the result of the league matches, it may be said the best team stands at the head of the list. The San Franciscos have in Antrobus the captain, an excellent individual player, but since the injury to his knee compelled him to retire into goal, the team has not done so well. The de- parture of Frankiin McKenzie from the city was a great loss to the eleven, as he was a sure fullback. Early in the season the San Franciscos seemed likely to fin- ish next after the Vampires and Rifies, but several defeats in the last weeks, however, lowered their standing. The Alblon Lodge team opened the sea- son with a lot of men almost entirely new to the game, but it steadily improved un- til on the 1st inst. beat the hitherto invin- cible Vampires 3 goals to 2, to the great joy of its adherents. The Independent eleven is strong and heavy, but its component parts changet so much that it never developed much team work. The eleven, trusting to the welght of its men, was too apt to try rushing tactics, which are not of much value against a team which has a good defense line and plays well together. Its captain, Owens, is a hard-working for- ward, but did not get the support he de- serves. Next Saturday two elevens will prob- ably go down to Palo Alto to play an ex. hibition game on the campus of Stanford University. and earlfer in | Vampires | ' COMMISSIONERS | ALLOT SITE TO 3 ROWING CLUBS Driving Piles for Founda- | tions for New Homes| \ T [ Alameda Boat Club Puts the to Chief the H mpany South and exam- ined the ws At the meeting of (I o themselves | l | | | CARDINAL HOPE IN ITS TEAM IS INCREASING Stanford Baseball Players Are Showing a Steadier, More Consistent Game S D Coach Swindells Is Chang- ing Line-Up From Time to Time to Try Out His Men TANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 1& S The San Fran > league-baseba | nine dropped into id base weather when rived in Palo 4 on Tuesday have been pr: mond regularl the morr tw line up against the v first time on Monda week.
