From the utter slump of last week the nine has taken a wonderful brace and seems distinctly on the up grade as to| form. The poor showing in the ranks of the| California nine has evidently been largely | due to the absence of Overall in the box and Hendricks at first bdse. Overall, wHo has had some trouble with his arm, bas taken his old position in the pitcher’s box and is dellvering the curves in his | old-time form. His pltching is strong and steady and great confidence is being nat- uially placed upon him by the enthusias who expect to see Stanford again go down in defeat. Adams, at short, who has been ind posed during the whole season, has be- gun to pick up again and in the last two gzmes with Santa Clara he allowed few hits to pass his way without gathering | them in. It seems Hatch is out of it for catcher since Ryan, the old St. Mary's wan now attending the medical affiliat- ed college in San Francisco, has been wearing the mask with credit. Of the freshmen players Causley third and Bliss on the second bag look like fixtures. Both are comparatively steady and do fair stick work As a result of the tennis try-out held to select a team to meet Stanford next month, Drummond MacGavin, ‘84, and Robert Varlel, '08, easily won out for the doubles, They defeated Hotchkiss and Ratcliffe, their closest competitors, 61, 6-3, 9-7. The singles try-out will be held te-miorrow. In boating circles events are scheduled for the rest of the season. According to | jon of the regatta committee of ific Athletic Association the uni- | versity regatta will take place on April 11 at Sessions Basin.

Some time ago it. was supposed the Co- rinthians had abandoned the idea of build- ing a boat to challenge for the San Fran- cisco Perpetual Challenge cup now held by the Sausalito Club. Twenty-one mem- bers of the club had promised subscrip- tions of $100 each, but this sum is not enough to procure plans for a new boat, build, equip and race her. The prepara- tion of the yacht Harpoon for last year's race cost about $500, though she was al- ready-in excellent condition. The sloop Challenger, although the plans were supplied at a low price by B. B. Crowninshield, who desired to have one of his boats on Pacific waters, cost about $2500. It was considered that $3000 is the smallest sum with which it would be safe to enter upon the building and equipping of a challenger. This amount has been promised, smaller subscriptions than $00 having been accepted. The leaders in the matter are ex-Commodores J. W. Pew, Alex Young and H. D. Hawks. Full details of the course, the conditions of the race and the probable velocity of the wind have been sent to W. Starling Burgess, the son gf the late Edward Bur- gess of Boston. W. Starling Burgess is a Harvard graduate and is following his father's profession of a nautical designer. The boat will have a racing length of 30 feet, but will be of a different type from the Challenger. She will be shallow and possessed of considerable beam, but will have a centerboard instead of a fin keel. Tt is expected the plans will arrive about the middle of April, when they will be submitted to the members of the club, who will no doubt be content to accept whatever seems to the committee most desirable. A plan for a racing yacht by W. S. Burgess is already in the city and shows a boat with enormous overhangs fore and aft, a flat floor and light draft. Sir Thomas Lipton, having presented a perpetual challenge cup to the Corinthian Yacht Club of San Diego to be raced for by any boat enrolled in a yacht club on the Pacific Coast, a communication has been sent requesting entries from San Francisco Bay.

AT MY CARDINAL HOPE IS LOW. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 27.— The unfavorable weather during the past | week has been a serious impediment to development of athletes, both on the track and on the diamond. -It has been espé cially hard on the baseball men, who have not had a chance to practice for nearly a week. With a baseball team which has been recently so shifted about it is impossible to tell just what chance the cardinal will | have against the strong University of California nine. The Stanford men are able to play a good game, but men in new | positions are apt to go in the air at any time and the coaches fear this will hap- | pen. The varsity, however, is batting far better than last season and will be strong | in this line. Ball, who has been brought in frem right field to-third base, is swing- ing on the ball with his old-time form and promises to head the batting list at the end of the season. The recent injury to Track Captain Me- Caughran has done much to cast a gloom | over the former bright track prospects. McCaughran is slightly-built and does not | require much work to get into condition. While running a trial on Wednesday he strained a tendon in his ankle and is so serfously injured he can hardly hope to compete. McCaughran was counted on to win the 2%-yard dash and was good for a place in the “hundred.” There are a great number of half-milers this year. More than a dozen men are | training for this event. Stanford will be | strong in the quarter-mile also. Dunn, Smith and Crossman can all run in bet- ter than 52 seconds. Men in all branches of athletics will be. gin work In earnest next week.

Reports from Boulder Creek are to the effect that from present indications the fishing will be good there Los Gatos Creek was stocked by the Fish Commission r, and weathe: and other conditions have been favorable for the dévelopment of the trout. Owing to the small size of the stream at Glenwood it quickly fished out Pajaro Creek, three miles from Glenwood, usually supplies excellent sport.
