Yet if they are the real goods and have any fight in them they should be able at least make the big leaguers hustle some before the game is completed. On Sunday afterncon the same two teams will line up once more, with a cnange of pitchers. Jimmy Whalen and Winnie Cutter are due to appear on Uncle’s slab this | afternoon. If any one in the Coast League will stop the great Chicago siuggers it is Whalen. For the last three yvears he has been the mainstay on the home slab, and for that reason the fans all look to him to buffalo the Eastern stars this afternoon. Big Bert Jones and Stanley Yerkes 1 have a try at the stars on Sunday afternoon. The grounds are a little ft after the recent rains, but with hours of sunshine they will dry t readily. The grass has sprouted over the outfield, while the in- - a few t all field is as smooth as glass. If San Francisco does not have a champion ball team thig year it will at least pos- sess a swell ball grounds. The ever reliable Tom v Leahy will do most of the catching in the two games against the Chicago club. Tommy the best of shape and ready for the opening of the seaso is in The fans will rely a whole lot on Leahy | 20 bring the pennant home to Uncle and he will certainly do his share the work. The teams will probably line up as follows this afternoon 1on Chicage hers.

The course on the Presidio reservation has been so cut up by the cavalry and artillery evo- lutions that it is in an unplayable con- dition. Even if the members were willing to | expend several hundred dollars in re- airing some of the damage, the liabil ty to have the course ruined again would still exist. When General Gra- !'ham first gave permission to the golf- | ers to lay out a course on the reserva- i tion the ground was overgrown with | bushes, tufts of iris and rough gra It was quite unsuitable for use even as an exercising ground and would never have attracted the &yes of a cavalry officer looking for a place on which to perform evolutions. By the expenditure of several thousand dollars the golf club transformed the rough tract into a fine links, covered with springy turf. Each succeeding commanding officer after General Graham has been equally | friendly to the golfers, who had beauti- fied and improved a large area of the reservation. . So secure did the golfers feel in their tenure that it was proposed to improve the rugged, broken ground lying be- tween the present course and the Ma- rine Hospital ang to lay out nine holes upon it, so as to have a,full eighteen- hole course. When the cavalry had cut new course might be laid out, to be used in the event of it becoming neces- sary to abandon the old one. A little reflection showed the futility of this plan. In a few years, after the golfers had expended thousands of dol- lars and had developed a fine expanse of velvety turf, the eyes of some cav- alry officer would be likely to covet the well-grassed area, which would seem excellently adapted to showy evolutions of well-drilled troopers. The golfers have decided to seek pastures new. They are likely to go out in the direc- tion of Ingleside. The handsome club- house standing just outside the Presidio reservation would be sold, and on ac- count of the increase in value in real estate in that part of the city would probably bring a price greater than its cost. The handicap contest, over eighteen holes, that began on the Saturday after Washington’s birthday on the San Francisco links was concluded last Sat- | urday. S. L. Abbott Jr. won his match I'in the semi-final round by the defauit of R. I. Bentley, who was absent from the city on business, and in the final round beat Rolla V. Watt, who received nine strokes, 2 up 2 to play. Driving and approach putting con- tests are announced to take place this afternoon on the links of the San Francisco Golf Club. On Tuesday the ladies, will play an eighteen-hole handi- cap, medal score. BALTIMORE, Md., March 18.—W. A. His- cott. furniture dealer, failed to-day.

ATHLETIC WORK AT A STANDSTILL Cardinal Men Find It Tmpos- sible to Train Owing to| the Unfavorable Weather SIS T e STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 18.—The month of March, up to the present time, has been a particularly bad one for work on the diamond and on the cinder path. Practice on both diamond and track is practically at a standstill. compelled so far to call off a half dozen or more games and meets owing the inclemency of the weather. Nor is the weather the only thing that the Stanford athletes have had to contend with; they have also had their share of hard luck. Two of the promising candidates for the varsity nine have been obliged to give up their work on the diamond owing to the strict faculty ruling as to scholarship. Sales, '06, candidate for pitcher and the heaviest hitter on the team, has been “on the shelf” for several days as the result of the dislocation of one of his knees, an injury he received in batting He is improving rapidly, however, and is expected to be back in the game again by the time the baseball field gets dry enough to play upon. While the baseball men have trou- bles enough to keep them worried, the track athletes are not without theirs. Russell, '06, one of the best of the quar- ter-milers, has a bad ankle and strained tendon and may be kept out of the running for some time. He has shown great speed in the recent- tryouts on the track, beating Crossman, the var- sity quarter man, in the last fleld day. “Brick” West, '06, is also on the re- tired list for the present as the result of a strained muscle. He ‘recently equaled in practice the Stanford record of 21 feet 10 inches in the broad jump and has been counted upon as a point winner. His injury is of such a na- ture that it may prevent him from jumping altogether. —_—————— O’Brien Defeats Hugo Kelly. CHICAGO, March 18.—After six rounds of tame fighting Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia won the decision to- night over Hugo Kelly of Chicago. The decision was not popular. O'Brien showed to poor advantage and put up one of the poorest fights of his career. Kelly had the better of the first five rounds, but in the last round O’Brien woke up and had so much the better of the round that the referee gave him the decision. —_——— Young Corbett to Box in Chicago.
