A resort has been opened between Bairds Spur and the McCloud River, which can accommodate many anglers. In the past there were no accommoda- tions near the river except at the country homes of well-known men, who enter- ained a small number of guests each sea- son. miles from Bairds Spur and six and a haif miles from the United States Fish Hatchery at Baird, on the McCloud. Anglers or other sportsmen can have their choice of the McCloud River or of the Pitt River. Comparatively few anglers have ever been in there and the treams should afford grand sport. A new road, called the Lake Railroad, has recently ull | been combleted from Laird to Pokegama, -{ thirty miles. This leaves only a seven. Pleasant, Reta 8 and Tralee | mile drive to Klamath Springs, instead of twenty as formerly. Not only is the more readily accessible, but this opens up communication with g body of the sport | many of its tributaries. Fish and Game Warden C. A, Reed of Cruz County reports that the | streams in the vicinity of Boulder Creek, , will soon be in good condition for fly-fishing. tisfactory catches are being made, with a promise of excellent sport shortly. The i trout taking the fly at present are chief- | Iy small ones, about six inches in length. not touch the gaudily decorated hook. | Ten or twelve jumped at Mr. Reed’s fly recently on Soguel Creek. None tried a | second time. Bait fiishermen are still | baving sport with the big steelheads in the San Lorenzo River, from tunnel No. | 6 down to the powder mills. More than two dozen have been taken during the past week. These fish range from two to ten pounds in weight. | The trout are taking the fiy at the Gar- cia River, Point Arena, and the angling is reported good. \ Colonel Keliehor and Frank La Costa | have gone to La Moine, on the Upper Sac. | ramento. | A. B. Finch leaves next month for his | annual pilgrimage to Big Meadows, which he pronounces a paradise for anglers, A. 8. Carman will spend some weeks in the vicinity of Cisco in June. The south fork of the Yuba is reported high and there will be no fly-fiehing there until June 1. An angler at Reno says the Truckee has been running fast recently, making the water muddy and interfering with ang- ling. He predicts great sport two weeks | hence.” The Indians are taking trout from | one and a half to two feet long from the river. There has been no fishing at Sims for several days, owing to the high water | caused by melting snow. | At Verdi spoon-fishing 1is sald to be | Booa. The streams of Sonoma and Mendocino counties are low and clear and afford good sport. This 'holds good of all the tributaries of the Russian River. The striped bass fishermen anticipate good sport to-morrow, with a continuance of warm weather. A number of gooa- sized fish have been taken recently in various parts of the bay. Hart Williams and Al Wilson trolled Raccoon Straits on Thursday for striped bass. They secured eleven in all on a Wilson spoon, the largest of, the fish weighing seven pounds. Chris Johnson, J. A. Pariser and C. B. Hollywcod spent last Sunday on San Leandro Bay in quest of bass. The total take was only three fish and one of these was small. Ed Goodman and J. B.

The eight players who make the lowest scores will qualify. Three prizes will be glven iIn the handicap—one to the win- ner, one to the runner-up in' the final match and the third to the player who turns in the lowest gross score. In the absence of R. Gilman Brown at Los Angeles, whither he accompanied Mrs. Brown to the annual meeting for the women's championship of the Pacific Coast Golf Assoclation, there will be no contest this afternoon on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club. On the return of Mr. Brown, who is captain of .he San Rafael Golf Club, some tournaments will be arranged. = The third annual competition for the women's champlonship of the Pacific Coast Golf Assoclation began on the links of the Los Angeles Country Club on Monday last. Mrs. R. G. Brown, Miss Edith Chesebrough and Miss Florence Ives of San Francisco, with Mrs. Sher- wood of Oakland, were among the eight ladies who qualified. In the opening match play rourid on Tuesday afternoon Mrs. W. T. Bishop of Los Angeles beat Mrs. R. G. Brown 5 up, 4 to play; Miss Chesebrough beat Miss Smith 4 up, 2 to play; Mrs. Jean Bowers of Garvanza beat Mrs. Frank Griffith 4 up, 3 to play, and Miss Ives beat Mrs. Sherwood 1 up on nineteen heles. 3 - RESIDIO golfers have taken part in no contest on their own links & spoon last Sunday at San Leandro. Electric railwa; the old fashioned are rapidly displacin ety diligence lnmm'- J The third team ma‘~» between the men of the San Francisco and the Oakland Golf clubs, the first two having resulted in 2 tie, will be played next Saturday on the links of the Burlingame Country Club, HE women tennis players on both sides of the bay are taking marked interest in the pastime at present. Both Alameda and San Francisco counties have strong players and it is hoped some of them will improve suf- ficlently to make it interesting for the Sutton sisters in the championship to be held in September. The four players from Berkeley are promising. They are the Ratcliffe sisters, Miss Edwards and Miss Hotchkiss. Miss Edwards comes from Southern California and has played against the Suttons. When she improves her net game she will be a dangerous op- ponent, ¢ On this side of the bay the best players are the Varney sisters. They are improv- ing rapidly, especially Miss Eva Varney. Mrs. Moore, who for many years held the champlonship of Northern California, has joined the California Club and is fast re- gaining her former skill. There will be a class singles tourna- ment for women on the Golden Gate Park courts next Friday afternoon and Satur- day morning. The first class players will compete for the Jackman cup, which was won by Miss Edwards in the last handi- cap tournament. Cups will also be offer- ed for the other classes. The following will play in the first class: Miss Maud Varney, Miss Eva Var- ney, Miss Bertha Gardner, Miss Lulu Wegener, Mrs. Wattson, Miss Edwards, Miss Hotehkiss, Miss Mary Ratcliffe, Miss Ethel Ratcliffe, Miss Emma Hunter, Miss Eleanor Jones and Mrs. Moore. There will be an interclub meet on the East Oakland courts to-morrow. Eight doubles teams from the Golden Gate Club of San Francisco will journey across the bay and will meet the strongest eight of the East Oakland Club. Some of the city teams will be Will Allen and Norman Hodgkinson, Harry Routh and Charles Dunlap, the Hotchkiss brothers, George Jones and Clarence Griffin, Guy Lytton and C. Gayness, T. D. Black and J. F. Brady. Oakland’'s strongest teams will be Will Frost and George Gage, and Mil- ler Hotchkiss and Norman Ambrose. On their last meeting the Oakland play- ers met with an overwhelming defeat. They are expected to do much better fl.fla time. ' The local cracks are practicing hard for the scratch singles tournament to be played on the California Club courts on Decoration day. 1t will be an open event for the championship of San Francisco. It will undoubtedly be the largest tourna- ment ever held in the city. As there is no challenge cup for the event Grant Smith, the present holder of the title, will be called upon to play through the tour- nament. —— Japan has an avenue of trees fifty miles long, extending from the town of Namanda to Nikko. ’ CRICKETERS’ TOURNAMENT PLAY IS ON SLE ot NG Wearers of Blue and White "Will Try Strength With New Club for First Time Local Experts -~ at British Game Hope to Meet Team From Flagship Grafton O cricket eleven will try its strength for the first time this season against the San Francisco County Club. The Alameda representatives will be chosen from the following: F. J. Croll, B. Bird, G. Harold Ward, Edgar Ward, W. J. Richter, F. A. Stahl, J. H. Saunders, E. Hood, F. 8. Price, A. E. Acklom, W. Peters, R. B. Hamilton, H. Bird and V. Seebeck. The names of A. E. Acklom, J. Brown, R. E. Ewart and W. Peters have recently been added to the roll of the Alameda Cricket Club. The representatives of the San Fran- cisco County Club will be chosen from the following: Harold B. Richardson, cap- tain; E. G. Sloman, B. Kortlang, P. Johns, E. Peterson, E. J. Stratton, Henry Roberts, T. J. A. Tiedemann, V. Showell, ‘W. H. Howard, J. Grier and R. A. Hook- er. Richardson, Tiedemann and Hooker fielded well in last Sunday’'s match. Kort- lang was not up to his usual form, elther in batting or bowling. Sloman played a stone-walling game, scoring only ewght runs, while his partner, Richardson, made fifty-three by excellent cricket. W. Janiie- son fielded splendidly for the Pacifics, and John Myers took all chances that were offered behind the wicket. Sloman car- riéd his bat for forty-five runs. Myers and Casidy played a steady, cautious game, and Langdale’s score of thirty-tive was useful. The name of H. F. Elliot of the Sacra- mento Cricket Club and formerly of the Cttrus Colony Cricket Club, Placer Coun- ty, has been added to the list of the Pa- cific Club. H. F. Elliot, his brother, H. R. Elliot, and H. G.

' The Lake Merritt regatta, | however, bids fair to be markedly suc- | cesstul. | On Tuesday evening W, B. Hinchman, | as president of the Pacific Association and as a representative of the Alameda Boating Club, attended a meeting of th Oakland Citizens' Fourth of July celebra- tion committee. The committee expressed its intention to make the rowing regatta on Lake Merritt one of the principal fea- tures of the celebration. promised that the oarsmen will give their best efforts to the work of making the rowing races as interesting and success- ful as possible. At the first general meeting of the Citizens' Committee the | chairman will appoint a sub-committee to take charge of the aquatic events con- nected with the celebration and to work | out the details. It is settled that the row- ing regatta shall be an important part of | the annual celebration of Independence day. After the regatta there will be a| great entertainment on the Fair Grounds, | which are distant about a stone’s throw from the edge of Lake Merritt. Many im. | provements have been made around the | lake during the past year, and the oars- | men will be much better accommodated than at the last regatta. Alexander W. Pape, the well-known Dolphin oarsman, left San Francisco for | New York on Tuesday. in the American Henley at Philadelphia in July, and in the Boston regatta in August. the State until about the end of the year. F. J. Sherry of the Dolphin Boating Club is practicing in the outrigged skiff and will probably represent the club in the senior skiff class at the Lake Merritt re- | gatta. The Dolphin Boating Club is or- ganizing a baseball nine to play against teams representing other rowing clubs. The Dolphin Boating Club has recently added greatly to the accommodations of the boathouse. The attic has been fitted with bunks for a dozen men, so that those who want to practice in the out- rigged skiff or to train with a barge crew can sleep in the boathouse and be on hand for early morning work before the water becomes rough. The Ariel Rowing Club held it's annual ball last night in Native Sons’ Hall, the grand march beginning at 9 o'clock. The annual picnic and excursion of the club will be held on the 24th inst, at Stock- ton. Eddie Hanlon, E. Wolff, Harry Fo- ley and Hemry Wilson will take part in exhibition boxing bouts. The boathouse committee of the Aricl Rowing Club has asked for bids for the work of driving the piles for the found: tion of the new quarters and will award the contract shortly. The South End Rowing Club is acting in conjunction with the Ariel Rowing Club in the matter. The Ariel Rowing Club has a full list of members, but, in order to take in several young men who have made appli- cation for membership and to enlarge its revenue, the directors may decide to ex- tend the list from 100 to 125. It is ex- pected the new boathouse will be ready for occupation in two months. A junior barge crew will be put Into training for the annual regatta on July 4. The barge crew which won the champlonship in the intermediate class last year will begin practice to-morrow and will enter the | senlor barge race of the Pacific Athletic Association. Inhuman Son Charged. George J. Crane was booked at the City Prison yesterday by Detectives Fitzger- ald and Graham-on a charge of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Last Monday night he choked and beat his aged mother, Mrs. Nora Crane, at her home, 6 Germania avenue, and threw her over a balcony.

Webb have also jomed the Pacific Cricket Club. Many years ago cricket matches be- tween local teams and elevens made up from the officers of British warships vis- iting San Francisco were common. It 1s intended to ask the officers of the cruiser Grafton, flagship of the British squadron in the North Pacific, which reaches port to-morrow, to make up a team to play against an eleven. While stationed at Esquimalt, B. C.. the sailors have many opportunities to practice at Victoria and to play against British Columbian elev- | ens. -If the flagship happens to number among its officers some v have been members of good public sc 1 elevers in England the match should n out nigh- ly interesting. Mr. Hinchman | He will compete | He expects to be absent from | South Bay Sailors Expect to Have Club House and Swift Sloop Ready Soon EFARRT SR CCORDING to custom, the Sunday following the opening jinks and cruise of the season is an open date on the programme of the San Francisco Yacht Club. As the tide floods to-night up to 11 o'clock or so in the upper bay the opportunity is a good one to run up to Paradise Cove, and several of the vachtsmen will no doubt avail | themselves of it. The Corinthians have a cruise to M | Nears Landing scheduled for this even- { Ing. To-morrow will be ladles’ day with | the California Yacht Club. A large part of the fleet will leave the moorings in Oakland Creek to-night and will anchor | oft the narrow gauge mole to be ready for an early start to-morrow. The ladies will take the train to the plerhead and will go aboard the yaents, which will cruise to Paradise Cove. The first yacht race of the season will | take place on the 17th inst., when the Cal:for will hold their fourth annual dinner race. The three previous races of this sort have started off the Alameda pier, but the destruction of the wharf by fire has rendered it.an unsuitable place from which to view the race. According- ly the yachts will start from the south side of the Oakland mole off the end of the ferrv slip, thence will beat out to Blossca Rock buoy, leaving it on the starboard hand. thence to Goat Island cal buoy, leaving it on the starboard hand, therce to Oakland Creek, running up to a finishing line off Hay & Wrishi's wharf. The total distance is estimated at ten and an eighth miles. The race will take place wholly on a flood tide. The first of these races was won by the slocp Treima, sailed by S. S. Marsnall, ard the last two by the sloop Jessie E. owned and sailed by Johm T. Carrfer. The crew of the winning yacht will be the guests of honor at a dinmer to be given by the crews of the losing yachts. The regatta committee in charge of the event consists of August R. F. Brandes, chairman: Réscoe L. Eames and Charles W. Muller. Port Captain Julian Altendorf has bent a new suit of salls on the yaw! Pligrim, which will join the fleet on the cruise to Paradise Cove. Allen M. Clay, owner of the sloop Pactolus, which follows out the schedule of she club as faithfully as any boat in the fleet, is on a trip to the Eastern States. He will be away about six weeks and wil watch some of the trials of speed of the Reliance, the new boat designed by Herreshoff as a defender of thé Amerl, cup. G. L. Wakeman will sail the yvacht during the absence of her owner. Robert Vincent's alert. which has been almost entirely reconstructed and will be rigged as a yawl, is nearly ready for launching, her hull being fin- ished and an inner iron shoe weighing four tons bolted on. Several yachts last Sunday eruised out through the Golden Gate as far as Point Bonita,_ among them being the schooners Lurline, Chispa, Ramona, White Wings and Josephine, the sloops Tdier, Thelma, Emma and Edna. Thence they put about and ran up to Paradise Cove. W. M. Edgell, for two years Secretary of the San Franeisco Yacht Club, will make the vawl Tramontana his home during the summer. She has ample ac- commodations, having a handsome cabin and staterooms. a roomy galley and other conveniences. She will be taken over to Belvedere Cove. Fer mainsail will not be bent on. but she will carry enough canvas to enable her skipper to handle her if it becomes necessary to leave her anchorage. It is quite likely she may cruise to Santa Cruz during t.e summer. George D. Camvbell of the keel sloop Folly will get no more sailing during the present summer. He leaves next week for Nome City, whence he will return before the ice closes in-for the winter. Dr. H. A. Svencers schooner Muriel, the flagship of the South Bay Yacht Club, was launched from the ways on Monday having been overhauled and put into good order for the season. She has had five feet added to her length and is as hand- some a boat as there 1s In' the Alviso fleet. The new sloop, which is under con- struction for Albert Meads, is expected to prove a speedy craft. The South Bay yachtsmen vredict she will be the fast- est safler on the bay. If this turns out to be the case the Challengzer, to say nothing of Presto, Harpoon, Meteor and Discovery, will have to look to their lau- rels. Says Typewriter Was Stolen. W. J. Woods, manager cf the American ‘Writing Machine Company. secured a warrant from Police Judge Cabaniss yes- terday for the arrest of Leon Osterman | on a charge of grand larceny. Osterman used to be emplcyed by the company. and. it is alleged, went to the office of At- terney Crittenden, 330 Pine street, after his dismissal and took away a typewriter, representing that he was still employed by the company. - I
