The boating associa- tion of the university has already sent a challenge to Washington_for a re- gatta in April, and a reply is awaited from the north with some anxiety. Th challenge is the result of a lot of cor- respcndence carried on between the rowing men of the two universities, the discussion being over terms and place. California went north and met defeat at the hands of the Washingtonians last summer, and now California wants to have the matches decided here just to see if it cannot even up matters. It is likely to prevail, as all the convine- place as Oakland estuary | as a good rowing course. There is a chance, too, that Stanford will figure in the rowing game t year. Urgéd by the California rowers, Stanford has been gradually working up to the point of negotiating for boats, and it is understood one Is noiv build- ing for the Palo Alto institution in the East. With California, Washington and Stanford supporting rowing crews, it seems possible there will be three- "vornered intercollegiate matches eyery vear. In anticipation that there may be a match with Stanford freshmen this year, the California freshmen are do- ing a lot of work these days with the indocr rowing machine and on the track, the exercises being intended to develop the wind and the muscles of the men. A. S. Bunnell, '04, has charge of the freshmen and every day he'puts them through a course of exercise. His pupils are H. W. Schrieber, H. M. Hall, A. C. Thode, J. B. Alvarado, R. M. Searles, A. C. Salisbyry, J. H. Eggers, R. Clyde Cameron, Winfield Hale, Thaddeus Joy Jr., M. H. Weston, H. H. Kelly; C. F. Marshall, E. P. Craw- ford and A. R. Fisher. An interclass race will be held at a date yet to be decided upon. race the varsity crew will be selected. The following men are training regu- larly at the boathouse for the class crews: Seniors—A. S. Bunnell (cap- tain), J. E. Roadhouse, Jerry i hite, B. C. Whitney and Walter Stalder; ju- niors—E. J. Grindley (captain), G. J. Anloff, E. A. Bannister, D. M. Evans, E . Hawley, J. P. Loeb; W. Ross (captain), Harry Carpenter, J. A. Kelly and S. J. Jones. | - | CLEVER | BY NAVAL APPRENTICES Boys Do Their Share te Raise Funds for New Clubhouse at Vallejo. The entertainment by the boys from the training station at Goat Island for | the benefit of the naval clubhouse at | Vallejo last night was a success, So- | cially, artistically and financially. The {boys who have' been trained to walk the decks of a ship trod the boards as though acting, not fighting, were their | specialty in life. The entertainment | opened with an overture by the United | States naval band, followed by a drill | of apprentices. The one-act sketch “Stranded on Goat Island” was next ere filled by the following sailor men: W. H: J. Dallaghan, bugler; T. R. Spear, boatswain's mate; F. Nief, ap- prentice: C. O. Davis, chief yeoman; J. McDonald, landsman for training; R. Hendrollet, landsman for training, and M. P. Casey, chief boatswain’'s mate. This was followed by a song by E. G.

Simmons, Bill Bailey; C. O. Davis, chief yeoman; N. Clark, G. | Brown; J. S. Parker, - landsman for training; C. Constantine, ship’s cook; | A, Mongula and F. L.

Backed horses with one exception ran closely to form, three favorites, two second choices and an outsider annex- ing purses. Pleasant weather and a fast track left nothing to wish for. On the strength of his race the pre- an absolute certainty for the opening seven furlong run. He was backed down to 6 to 5, and, well handled by Larsen, passed Little Sister in the lit |if away better might have won. Lou Clieveden ran a fair race, finishing fourth behind Little Sister. But four started in the mile run for mares and geldings, and it turned out |to be quite a spirited betting affair. herin was ajor Tenny had many friends, but as e big bettors stayed with Daisy den by Hildebrand, the East- th Green, ern mare closed favorite over Grafter. GRAFTER WINS EASILY. Daisy and Esherin cut out the run- ning for six and a half furlongs, when { both had played out their string. Tom- my Burns slipped through on the rail with Major Tenny and for a second ooked dangerous, but Jack Martin serve, winning almost easily by less than a length. The favorite lost the {show to Esherin by a head. At odds of 1 to 2, Walter Jennings’ crack mare Gold Money won the Fu- turity course sprint, next to be decided, just as she pleased. Jack Martin, of course, had the mount, and had the course, had the mount, and had the fa- vorite up in his lap behind Money Muss to the stretch. Although the latter sprinter was tiring, Hagerdon could not overhaul him, finishing in the show. Bookmaker Frank | Stuyve enjoyed quite as easy tory in the mile selling run. The brown gelding, with Hildebrand up, was quoted a 9 to 10 chance at post time and simply galloped out in front from start to finish. Somenos, the runner- away, and Hainault ran second, four lengths before Illilouon. Scotsman by his poor showing displayed the fact that he possesses little class. AN OUTSIDER LANDS. Milt Jones’ Rollick, with Johnny Daly on his back, stopped the progress of the favorites by capturing the. fifth race at odds of 15 to 1. Daly moved his mount into the leading position after Muresca and Yellowstone had lengths before Bard Burns. Judge Voor- hies, a well backed outsider piloted by Tommy Burps, led the favorite Matt Hogan out for the show. As there was some doubt about Mar- tinmas going one and a sixteenth miles, Charley Henshall got 2 to 1 for some of his money in the betting on the last race. The regulars stayed with Ni- grette, making the little black mare fa- vorite at 8 to 5. Kunz took Martinmas out in front at the start, and stalling off the challenge of Oliphant on the fa- vorite in the stretch earned the decision by half a length. His Eminence finished | third, five lengths behind Nigrette. After an early exhibition of speed Nam- tor died away to nothing. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Jack Martin piloted two winners. | Hiram Pierce and H. Magill after an { argument came to blows down in the paddock. The matter was reported to the judges. Isabellita experienced little difficulty beating Carilee in the opening event vesterday. The mare improved consid- | erably over night and was bet on by some smart ones. Dr. Long, an outsider starting in the | third race, was well played for the | show. The company was too rich for i the Doctor. | The flags at Ingleside hung at half- mast yesterday out of respect to the memory of William C. Whitney. Harry Birkenruth, who has been rid- ing at Los Angeles, was at the track yesterday. He is on his way back to Chicago. Twenty-four books cut in.

James Bailey Breaks Away From a Policeman and Risks Life in Vain Endeavor. James Bailey, known to the paqlice as a morphine fiend and suspected of having committed various acts of petty larceny, made a desperate at- tempt to escape from the custody of the police yesterday morning. Bailey lwas arrested by Officer Connolly on Kearny street, but while en route to the Hall of Justice made a bold dash dor freedom. The desperate man first ran into a lodging-house at the corner of Mer- chant street and Dunbar alley, -from which he traversed a narrow ledge on the addition from the Morgue build- ing to the Hall of Justice. From the ledge he leaped head foremost through a window into the Morgue building, carrying the sash with him. Messenger James Murphy cor- nered the man and after a few blows had been exchanged turned him over to the waiting officers. Bailley was not injured by his leap through the window. ————— Body Found in the Bay. The body of Francis Charlin, a sailor, was found floating off Washing- ton-street wharf yesterday afternoon by D. L. O'Brien and Frank Beggs, two employes of the McNeil Launch Company. Deceased had been em- ployed on the French ship Vercinge- torix as engineer of the donkey engine.
