To-morrow morning a joint committee {of the Ariel and the South End Rowing | clubs will visit the site and will decide on | the kind of foundations to be laid for the new boathouses. They will also dlscuss | the means of approach to the boating | quarters. | Though the Ariel rowers and swimmers | have had no opportunities for indulging in | their favorite recreations for the last two | vears, the club has kept together and the | interest of its members has been sus- tained in various ways. The lowers of aquatic sports are naturally highly pleas- ed at the prospect of obtaining commodi- ous and comfortable quarters and there will be much enthusiasm among the oars- men during the coming season. Last year’s intermediate barge crew is now of senior standing and will enter the senior race in the Oakland regatta. The crew will begin practice at once. Many applications for membership have already been received and several names are on the waiting list. At the next meeting the initiation fee will be doubled. The club has two junior barge crews organized. | The representatives in the senior class | will be A. Keegan, E. L. Smith, E. J. Lynch and C. Wilson. A.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 20.— Harris' aggregation of ball-tossers went down to defeat before the varsity nine in a hard fought game this afternoon. The score was Stanford 4, San Francisco 3. The league players secured their first run in the first inning and were unable to cross the plate again until the eighth, when Krug and Irwin scored the two re- maining runs as the result of a muff of Irwin's high fly by Lowenthal. The var- sity's first score was made by Fitch in the third inning. Iberg proved an easy mark for the varsity batters in the fifth inning, eight men coming to the bat, two of whom got two-baggers, two singles and one base on balls. Wirt, Brown and Ball scored, making the score 4 to 3. The college men showed a surprising improve- ment over their recent form. “Jimmie’" Fritch, 04, pitched a bril- liant game for the varsity, allowing only six hits to the hard-hitting leaguers. The professionals did not appear to be able to connect safely with Fritch’s curves, while the varsity men went at Whalen and Iberg in fine form, getting eight safe- ties. The flelding of the varsity nine showed marked improvement over the work of the past few days. Capp has changed places with Ball, the former going to sec- ond and the latter to third. Capp is an exceedingly fast and clever second base- man. Cowden’s catch of a high drive over first by Meany was the feature of the game. ————— 1t is proposed to erect a monument to Dante in Rome, on the site now occupied by the equestrian statue of Marcus Au- relius. COUNCIL'S CUP CONTESTNOW ON AT LINKS Semi-Final Round Will Be Reached by To-Morrow’s Play on Presidio Course R s Teams of Ladies Commence Home-and-Home Contest in This City on Monday | FAVORABLE weather, the Mardi Gras ball and the competition for U the amateur championship of the Pacific Coast caused the postpone- ment of several contests set down on the schedule of the ladies’ annex of the San Francisco Golf Club. With the exception of the fact that three ladies played In the qualifying rcund of the competition for the Coun- cil's cup on February 24, the ladies have held no events on the Presidio links sincc January. On Monday, however, they will resume play with a match over eighteen | holes between teams representing the San Francisco and the Oakland golf clubs. This will be the first haif of a home-and- home match, the second half of which will be played on the 30th inst on the Adams Point links. Now that the competition for the ama- teur champlionship is over, play will be resumed in the contest for the Council's cup for men of the S8an Francisco Golf Club. The eight who qualified on Satur- day, February 28, were John Lawson, H. C. Golcher, J. W. Byrne, Lieutenant J. 8. Oyster, Dr. J. R. Clark, Dr. T. G. MeCon- | These | key, S. L. Abbot and J. H. Mee. are drawn against each other as follows: S. L. Abbot vs. J. H. Mee, John Lawson vs. Dr. T. G. McConkey, Lieutenant J. S. Oyster Dr. J. R. Clark and H., C. Golcher ve. J. W. Byrne. John Lawson beat Dr. T. G. McConkey 8 up 2 to play, and 8. L Abbot defeated J H. Mee § up 7 to play. Lieutenant J. S. Oyster wiil play his match against Dr. J. R. Clark to-day, and the match between J. W. Byrne and H. C. Golcher will take place to-morrow. In the semi-final round John Lawson is matched against 8. L. Abbot, and the winner of the Clark-Oyster match will play the winner of the Byrne-Golcher match. Until the competition for the Council's cup for men has been brought to a con- clusion the tournament committee will not set dates for any new events. The competition must be completed before April 1. Next month the second home- and-home match between teams repre- senting the San Francisco and the Oak- land Golf Clubs will be played. The first of the present series was won by the Presidio golfers. The five visitors from Southern Califor- nia to the champlonship meeting of the Pacific Coast Golf Assoclation certainly acquitted themselves remarkably well, all of them gaining places in the sixteen and three reaching the semi-final round. Of the four medals presented by the assonja- tion C. E. Maud captured the gold and W. Fairbanks and C. E. Orr the bronze. H. C. Golcher was the only northerner to get into the semi-final round, in which he beat C. E. Orr and thus reached the final. The Teally crucial match of the competition was played in the semi-final round between Walter Fairbanks and C. E. Maud, the winner being almost cer- tain to capture the championship. ‘The victory of C. E. Maud was well recelved, as it is felt he is a splendid golfer, who has missed the championship in previous years by narrow margins. Moreover, hig services in promoting the game in Calj- fornia have been greater than those of al. most any other golfer in the State, Though the weather did not favor the contestants, some excellent golf was played during the week, C. E. Orr and ‘W. P. Johnson making-rounds of 38 each and W. Fairbanks one of 39. —_———— 'l‘rurgts. vllklus. d{e: gxlt cases, travel- rolls, pocketbooks and wrist ba S ol ann. liok goud. aadt gre oha Sanborn, Vall & Co., 741 Market street. ¢ FOOTBALLERS ; TO PLAY AT STANFORD Two Elevens Will Take Part in Association Game on "Varsity Campus To-Day { Champion Rifles Will Meet | Team Picked From Other Clubs in State League N the campus of Stanford Univer- | sity at Palo Alto this afternoon | the students and their teachers will have the opportunity of seeing a match of association football played be- tween the best two teams on the Pacific Coast. The American-British Rifles, who won the championship of the California As- | soctation Football League during the sea- son just over, will meet an eleven largely made up of the Vampires, who finished the closest possible second to the lead- ers, losing by one point only on the last | day. Many of the supporters of the American- British Rifles will journey down to Palo Alto provided with ribbons and flags of red and blue, the champions’ colors. The Ladles’ Auxiliary of the British-American Union is taking great interest in the match and many of its members will be on hand. Tickets good on any train return- ing to San Francisco on Saturday or Sun- day will be issued by the railroad com- pany at reduced rates. The train leaves the depot at Third and Townsend streets at 2 p. m. The team of the American- | British Rifles and their positions will be | as follows: Willlamson, goalkeeper and captain; Forrest left fullback; Hodge, right fullback; Chambers, center half- | back; Pomeroy, left halfback; Bird, right halfback; Shand, center forward; Lydon, outside left; Leahy, inside left; Connolly, outside right; McKay, inside right. | The picked team will wear the black | and white uniform of the Vampires and | will line up in the following order: Forb | goalkeeper; Johns, left fullback; Richard | son, right fullback; Robertson, center | halfback; Buchly, left halfback; Har- | wood, right halfback; Wilding, center for. Fay, outside left; Hooker, inside outside right; Showell, in- side right. While the association footballers do not expect that the colleges and schools of the Pacific Coast will give up intercol- leglate football and adopt the new game, it is believed both games may flourish | side by side. Association football requires | less weight and bulk than the intercol- legiate game, but makes much greater de- mands on speed and agility. Men who from lack of avoirdupois would not be of much value in the intercollegiate game, but who possess sound lungs and limbs, may take up assoclation football and find plenty of healthful exercise and rec- tumble work thrown in. —_—— SANTA CLARA COLLEGE BASEBALL NINE LEADS Gives Promise of Being the Cham- pions of the Year on Its Present Form.
