As the Burns Val- | ley, Lakepart and Sacramento clubs | have no nization this year, the managen f the affairs of the Cali- fornia Association will be in e de egates of the Ala- Francisco County. and Sgnta Cruz clubs. Though seven clubs elected delegates last year to the California Cricket As- sociation the Sacramento Club did not have any matches arranged for it and the only event provided for the Lake County cricketers was a visit to that county during the Independence day holidays. It wae not found possible to make up a team of city cricketers for the strip, which was abandoned. The schedule, therefore, provided for only four clubs, the Alameda, Pacific and Can Francisco County being set down for twelve matches each and the Santa Cruz team for six. The schedule con- tained twenty-one fixtures, two of which, viz.: Santa Crug against Ala- meda at Santa Cruz on August 23, and | San Francisco County against Santa Cruz at Alameda on September 13, did not take place. This year the cricket team of the Banta Cruz Club wishes to wisit this city and play two matches on May 29 and 30, and to receive a visit from a city club on July 3 and 4 at Banta Cruz. Arthur E.

Three men accused of the crime of murder were in court yesterday for arraignment. Leon Soeder, charged with killing his brother-in-law, Joseph Blaise, was in Judge Cook’s court, but by consent his arraignment was con- tinued till March 21. Giovanni Fossa and Wong Sang Lung were in Judge Lawlor’s court. Both cases were con- tinued till to-day. Fossa is accused of killing Vincenzo Lavagnino on June 2 aud the Chinese with Kkilling Joe Yung Yot on February 9. ' 2 | | ; L wWF HEITMULLER !

There have been sev- | eral instances recently where there| were various penalties attached to pur. chased hounds which had to be settled | before the dogs could be entered in | stakes. The California Coursing Com- mittee acts as a clearing-house in this tending purchasers as to the standing of a greyhound. The officials of the California Cours- ing Committee at their meeting on| Tuesday night sustained-the action of | the stewards of Ingleside Park in ruling | off M. Senderman and the greyhound Comique. It was recommended, how- ever, that Senderman apply to the In- gleside officials for a full investigation, as the committee was impressed by his protestations of innocence. Upon the recommendation of the In- gleside Park stewards the trainer's li- cense held by John Conboy was re-| voked. He trains for Eugene Geary, | and was charged with using insulting | language on the field to Judge Tierney. | In an interview in the Anaconda Standard Messrs. Blake and Smith both speak highly of the treatment accord- | ed them here. ‘They are particularly | enthusiastic over the work of Judge Reilly. They were more than'satisfied | with the showing their dogs made! against the California cracks, and were | congratulated on all sides on Northern ' Express’ victory in the Inaugural stake | at Union Park. | There were sixty-nine greyhound.reg- | i istrations last month with the keeper of the stud book. This is the largest number in any one month for a year. The running of the Belle Brandon cup, which created interest in the young | dogs, is thought to be responsible for | the increased number. ) First payments of $2 50 on the Cali fornia Futurity of 1904 are due. The| stake will be run in September. Dr. Q. Van Hummel, who has been | a prominent figure in American cours- ing for forty years, s announced his retirement from the sport. C. M. Jones, who was suspended by ! the Montana Coursing Club last year for fighting, has been reinstated. The ninety-six-dog stake at Ingleside | Park this week will be run down once | to-day, the first brace of greyhounds | being slipped at 11:20 o'clock. The run- ning will be resumed to-morrow at 11| o’clock. The likely winners look to b H., Rector. Doc Burns, Little Mgre | .

PICKWICKS MEET THISTLE ELEVES Idora Park, Oakland, will be the scene of two matches of association football to-morrow. At 1 p. m. the ball will be kickéd off in the match between the In- dependent eleven and the Pickwick team. This is one of the regular series for the championship of the California Association Football League, and was | postponed from Sunday, January 10, on account of the bad grounds on that day. The game com- pletes the schedule for the Independ- ents, being their twelfth regular match f the season. Norman Logan will be the referee.

The thistles beat the Pickwicks in the first round, the Occidentals defeated the Oakland Hornets and the Independents won from the Vampires. Henry Rob- erts will referee the game to-morrow.

The Thistle team, .as the champions of the league for 1903-04, will play against an eleven selected from the other six clubs included in the league. The ground on which the game will take place will be announced later.

His work 18 more thoroughly good and trustworthy all round than that of any of the other goalkeepers, though Willlamson of the Oakland Hornets, Rushton and Airth have all done good service. For full- backs Petersen should be a certain choice, with John and Lynch as likely candidates for the second place. The halfbacks will probably be selected from Bayne, Harwood, Chambers, Mechels, Glarner and Bird.

For weeks and months he has eagerly awaited the time when his favorites would trod the green at Recreation Park, and in |a few days his long felt wish shall be | gratified- and the cheery cry of “Play | bail!” will sound once again and trials and troubles will be forgotten. The season gives promise of being a good one both for magnate and fan. 1t will be a battle.of California against Oregon and Washington, the north ver- sus the south. BEach manager hopes to bring home the flag when the cur- tain is rung down on the long season and each assures the fans of his home team that he has corraled the greatest aggregation of high grade tossers that ever came over the rocky pass. The entire six teams are assembled and are hard at work getting into form j for the opening of the long campaign. The ball tossers or at least nearly all of them who- have been signed to play in the Pacific Coast League have ar- rived and appear to be willing and ready to get into the thick of the fight and play ball as they have never played before.

By playing between showers the | Oakland clubs have their champion- | ship singles down almost to the “fin- jals and_will probably finish both the | doubles and singles to-morrow, if the weather is good. The consolation | singles will be played at the same | time. Sixteen names were drawn in this event and so far only one match {in it has been completed. | In the lower half of the singles| Percy Murdock has won a place in the finals. He defeated Norman Ambrose {in the semi-finals last Saturday after- | noon. Ambrose made a good showing | |in the first set, but the second was | one-sided. The score in Murdock's | favor was 7 6-1. Ambrose had | previously beaten Otis in straignt | sets. The score was 6-2, 6-1. faulted to George Baker. Baker won the first set from Gorrill 6-1. The | | rain put a stop to further play, but | Baker is almost sure to win the next set. Charles Dunlap will meet the | winner of the Baker-Gorrill match in | the semi-finals. Baker and Dunlap | should furnish an interesting match | to-morrow morning. While Baker is | a strong favorite, Dunlap is considered by many to have a chance. The action of the tournament com- mittee in defaulting Varie] to Baker has been criticized by many, who con- | sider that Variel has not been treated | fairly. The latter beat Drummond MacGavin, one of the strongest play- ers entered, and undoubtedly had an excellent chance to win the champion- i ship. He was out of town Saturday ! and Sunday, but would have been able | | to play this afternoon. Variel was not | defaulted until late Sunday afternoon and considering the wet weather the madtch might easily have been post- poned. | The committee claims that Baker and Variel were holding back the sin- gles and for that reason defaulted the college player. As good players are rather scarce in the tournaments it is poor policy to default men like Variel. The default of Variel has ac- | complished nothing, as the singles | will be:completed no sooner than if he had been allowed to play to-day. The tournaments otherwise have been well managed and the mistake of de- faulting Variel is evidently due to poor judgment and a desire to finish the tournament as soon as possible. That the singles will be won by either Murdock or Baker is almost! a certainty. Murdock is in good form | and is figured by the majority to beat Baker. The latter, however, is a steady player and consequently a dan- gerous opponent. In doubles only played last week. 1 E | | one match was In it Heath and Gorrill beat Parr and Foster in straight sets. The score was 6-4, 6-2. Othet matches could have been play- | ed, but as the weather was rather un- | certain most of the plavers did not |appear.

The semi-final round was reached early in the week, R. I. Bentley® re- ceiving strokes; being matched against L. Abbot Jr., and Rolla V. Watt, with a handicap of 6 strokes, against Perry Eyre. Rolla V.

The officials of the California Polo and Pony Racing Association met yes- terday and decided to postpone the racing scheduled for this afternoon at Tanforan. The situation was canvassed from all points of view. Superintendent Fieldwick, who has the track sin | charge, said it would be impossible to do anything with it owing to the quantity of rain which fell. It was finally decided to race onm Thursday and Saturday of next week. The time for receiving entries was ex- tended until next Tuesday. On the racing days there will be special train service on the Southrn Pacific and on the San Mateo electric line. Addi- tional entries may be made with Rob- ert Leighton, the racing secretary, at room 21, 421 Market street. Owing to the condition of the vari- ous polo fields about Burlingame the matches have all been pestponed. B E second stood 5-5 when the match had to be postponed. The singles will be finished to-mor- row and probably the doubles. The Baker-Gorrill match is set for 11 o'clock and the winner will meet Per- cy Murdock in the finals at 2:30 p. m. In doubles the following matches will be called at 10 o'clock: Lee and Rob- ins vs. Griffin and Gardner; Janes and Russell vs. Otis and Gott: Code and Brabant vs. Ames and Cooke: Francis and Lowell vs. Murdock brothers. The following matches will be played at 11 o'clock: McDuffle and Clinch vs. Fink and Porter: Medcraft and Sher- rard vs. Mann and Finch: Biddle and Hotchkiss vs. Spencer and Turner. The handicap doubles tournament, which has beén pestponed so many times on the Californa Club courts, will be played to-morrow if possible. The holders of the cups are Rolfe and Schmidt. On the Golden Gate Park courts the fourth class will be finished. This class has been won twice by Melville Long, once by Guerfn, once by Hall and once by Skaggs. The last named player is in the third class. Long was the Chicago nationals. It is years since such a thing happened in this city, and of course every fan who follows the game will want to go to the park next Saturday and Sunday and sce just how the home lads will do when they face the stars who are due to shine with a glimmer in the Windy City this year. bgaten by Guerin two weeks ago.
