Had they been | victorious, says the one-time champion, it supremely indif- ferent “the rowing standard of their northern = competitors. It was the old story, according to, Peterson, of the will- ingness of the unwisé to tread paths avolded. by well ‘posted angels. When the idea of a rowing crew first took practical form Peterson was ap- proached by ' those interested in this branch of collegé athletics and asked to render such assistance in the.way of ad- vice and instruction as his leisure would allow. -~ Although a busy man, Peterson agreed to devote at least-one afternoon | a week to fhe task of selecting a . crew from the material offered and to teach- that crew the science ¢f rowing. he crew was selected'and Peterson was taking an enthusiastic interest in the work of his pupils when W. B. Goodwin d his suggestions to Peterson’s in- stions. Goodwin once rowed in Yale's »w. He is an enthusiast wherever ath- letics are concerned and since his col- lege s has taken a particular interest in rowing. In his devotion to sports Goodwin is unselfish of his own time and trouble and, being blessed with more leisure than Peterson could afford, was soon the guiding star of the college oars- men. All might have been well but for the fact that rowing according to Godwin was an accomplishment that differed in many essentials from the Peterson method. To auote Peterson: *“The dif- ference between rowing and what Good- win was teaching those boys is the same difference that exists between a pounding engine and smoothly running machinery. “All 1 tried to teach them was more than undone by their efforts to follow the advice given them by Mr. Goodwin 1 have no desire to belittle him or to criticize anybody, but his methods were not practical, as I _have proved through years of experience.” Peterson has rowed and won many hard races in all kinds of water, and his rec- ord as an oarsman more than justifies him as an authority on the subject. When he first took hold of the University of California crew he told his pupils that thére was a lot of hard work before they would be in condition to do any racing with the trained men of other organiza- tions. This visit to Washington was dis- cussed and discouraged by Peterson, who pointed out the weak places in the crew and called attention ta the fact that they did not even have a cockswain who under- stood his business or could learn it with- out a lot more experience than could Le crowded into one season. ““L tried to teach them the Importance of an easy seat and the nedessity for adapting the rhythm of the body to the swing of the boat. The ability to do this is acquired only after hard practice, but in racing it is absolutely necessary if one wishes to make the most of one's strength and weight. Then for the stroke I taught them to take the water with a firm grip, pull steadily all through ahd let go as gently as possible without dragging. “Goodwin was teaching them to sit per- fectly straight, to catch the water hard and let go with a jerk.” This may be ef- fective for a. short spurt, but will rack the strongest frame to pieces in a short time. Our methods did -not. jibe, and as they seemed more inclined to follow his advice than to learn How to row, I re- tired ip Mr. Goodwin's favor.” MAKES HIMSELF UNPOPULAR AMONG SALOON-KEEPERS John F.

On this date the first big championship of the year will be held. It will be the an- | nual singles tournament for the champion- ship of the State. George Whitney, the present champion, is in Europe and the winner of the tournament will be the champion for the coming year. All of the cracks from the bay counti and possibly some from the south will | be on hand. The strongest players will be Collier, Murdock, Hodgkinson and Smith. Several tournaments will be held on the public courts in Golden Gate Park in July and August. New courts are be ing. laid out in front 'of the clubhouse. Contrary to expectations, they will be of clay instead of asphalt. The oiled courts have been experimented with heretofore in the park and have proven failures. The three asphalt courts have given much better satisfaction than the oiled courts. The location of the new courts is an ideal cne for exhibition purposes. The tenn enthusiasts expected that two or three courts of asphalt would be laid out and seats built around them, so that in future some of the championship events ‘could be held on the public grounds. There will be two tournaments for la- dies during the early part of next month. One will be a handicap singles for the Jackman cup and the other a class u- bles for secend and third class players. = e CHINATOWN BELLE ELOPES WITH A CHINESE ACTOR Warrant Out for the Arrest of Sing Guy for Felony Embez- zlement. A Chinese romance was disclosed yes- terday afternoon when Gui Gum, wife of a Chinese cook living at 101 ° Trenton street, secured a warrant from Police Judge Fritz for the arrest of Sing-Guy, a Chinese belle, on the charge of felony embezzlement. Several weeks ago Sing Guy called upon | Gul Gem and told her that she needed money badly and Gui Gum-handed her a gold bracelet valued at $200, telling her that she could pawn it and return-it as soon as she was in a position to redeem it. It is now alleged that Sing.Guy has eloped with an actor in the. Chinese The- ater on Washington street and taken the gold bracelet with her. Gui Gum’s hus- band, who Is a cook in the country, came to the city as soon as she was notified of Sing Guy's disappearance and told. his wife to have her arrested. —————— Federal Indictments Found.

G FEW TROUT | YIELD TO | | _ FISHERMEN —_—— | | Small Catches on Large| Streams Owing to| Lateness of Season | | ISHING conditions have been such | F this vear that comparatively few | trout have been taken from the big | mounthin streams. This means an unusually late season. Few big | catches are reported from any of the streams, which are Mtill high. The recent warm weather melited the snow over a wide area. That there is widespread in- terest in fishing is shown by the enor- | mous demand for tackle. W. W. Van Arsdale and C. S. Wheeler have been enjoying the angling at the lat- ter's country home at Horse Shoe Bend on the McCloud. The sport has not been so good in many years. Unfortunately the average sportsman, the river is| difficult of access and is also protected, the ing being chiefly in the hands of private owners. Prospects for this year's fishing at Lake Tahoe are good, although the season will be late, owing to the heavy snowfall I winter. From all accounts there will be but little fishing before the end of next | month. W. A. Cooper and wife are still.at La Moine. Mr. Cooper sefit fifteen fine fish tq a friend in this city during the week. | They ran from half a pound to one and a quarter pounds. All were taken on a fly. | The fishing has improved rapidly during | the past week. 3 ’ A. 8. Carman left last night for Cisco, | where he has enjoyed the fishing for many years. Al Cnmming and wife have returned from an extended outing on the Klamatn. | They enjoyed excellent sport with rod and fly. P. Upham, O. 8. Orrick. Al Soogan and R. T. Somers have arranged a seven | weeks' shooting and fishing trip. They | go first to Redding, from which point they | will pack in to the heauwaters of the Pitt | River. They will visit Fall River, l!'di-] cine Lake and Southern Oregon before | returning home. P. J. Tormey and Eli marks have gone | to Webber iake, instead of to the Blg; Stony. Ford. | S. Symmes is still at independence Lake. | Sam Wells, Dave Sachs and W. Ashiland | are enjoying the . sport afforded by the | streams at Big Meaaows. G. Schauer is credited with the capture with, hook and line of the record striped bass in this bay. He landed one last Tuesday off Bay Farm Island, Alameda | County, weighing forty-seven pounds. A clam was used as bait. It recuired an | hour’s work to land the prize. More than 100 striped bass. weighing from one and a half to two pounds were taken at San Pablo last Saturday, chiefly on, a Wilson spoon. Among the rod wielders . were C. B. Hollywood, J. A. Pariser and John Davis and wife. On ‘Sunday Achille Roos and J. B. Kenniff trolled in tHe same waters without suc- cese. The water was too muddy.

Hart states that San Fra cisco and Seattle will open in this city during the first week of July and that they will be well prepared to give the public some good ball Hart states the grandstand will bs moved within the next few days and that the grounds will’be improved. He gives as his reason for the long delay in the work that one of the tenants !n a houds back of the park refused to move and tor a time it seemed the contemplated im- provements would have to be abandoned. Within the last few days, according to | Hart, this tenant has agreed to the cluo's terms and will be ready to move on short notice. The wors of moving back the will be commenced soo probably by the first of the coming wee! When the San Francisco and/ Seattls teams open here in July they will find the grounds enlarged and in great condition. “I want to deny the rumor that I have been negotiating for the purchase of the Los Angeles team,” said Hart in an ir terview. “I do not think it good policy for one man to own more than one team in any league, and therefore I am satis- fied with my holdings and Iwill not. un- der any consideration, make an cffer for any stock in the Los Angeles club or in any other club in the league.” The San Francisco club of the Pacific National League seems to have been up against the real sort of a bad yama i the Northwest. So far McClosky and bis followers have plaved the two weakest teams of the league and still they have not been able to win anything like a ma- jority of the games. If Rhis pace con- tinues McClosky is liable to bring back a tail end aggregation instead of the bunch of top-notchers that left here a few weeks ago. McClosky states in a letter that he had a kard time in securing the services Shortstop Jack McCarthy of the Portland team. McCarthy is a good ball player and ‘the Portland manager recognized this fact and was loth to part with him. Fin- ally the two managers came to terms and McClosky secured MecCarthy by paying $350 for his release from ' the Portland team. It is rumored that Salt Lake wants.a place in the Paciflc National League, and if this deal is made a club will also be placed in Oakland, making a ten-club cir- cuit. - It is stated on good authority that the street railway company of Oakiand is ready and even anxious to finance a team in Oakland. If they get the franchise they oromise to put in a club of top- notchers. The company has a- site In view one that'is convenient to the street cars and not too far away from the center of the city. It is probable these two clubs mav come into ‘the league some time, but it hardly seems likely the deal will be made this season, as the pennant race is on and it would tend to break up the schedule and alter all the plans generally. It is rumored that John B. Coleman, one of. the backers of the local National League team, who went East a short time age, fs busily engaged signing players for the. team and that he will return shortly with a bunch of stars from the big leagues. The team needs a couple of first-class men to put it in the race again. —_————— Murry Jury Secured.
