The California Ciub has still a match to play in the hington’s Birthday tourney. The cldss singles commenced at the park more than a month ago is not nearly completed The -event ménth on the fennis courts this be thé annual intercol- legiste-tournament. ways been held on the California Club will courts in this city, but this year it is expected the tournament will be played at Stamfard. As usual, the date will be the same as that of the annual field day, which will be held on the 16th inst There “is but one good court at Stan- ford and as there are three matches, vke all morning and a part of afternoon to finish them. The ord court fs a new one and is first class. The Palo Alto players have beén practicing hard, but their chances | of winning are anything but good. University of California players have ly ‘for the last three. years and another one-sided contest is an- ticipated. As usual, California has an abun- dance of good players, while Stanford has only two -or three, and they are not first class. The California repre- sentatives will be the same as last year, except that Neil Baker will take the place of his brother, who graduated last year, as second man in singles. As in the last two years, Drummond MacGavin, the college champion, will be first man in singles and will play in the doubles with Variel. 3 . Baker caused quite a surprise during the week by beating Claude Wayne in he finals of the collége championship rnament. After beating Variel— 6-1-Wayne was expected to beat won e Baker handily. The latter's steady game won him the tournament and a place on the varsity team. The men on whom Stanford will rely are Hodge, Clem Baker and Nieb. Hafry Wiebe, although still at college, unable to play, as he has al- ready played four years. Even. with & man like Wiebe Stanford has been unable to win 'a point, and as Hodge, his successor, is hardly as good, the Stanford men are not suffering with overconfidence. Hodge is a clever young player from Southern California, but- hardly classes with a man like MacGavin. Stanford’s chances of win- ning one of the three points are. poor and it would not be surprising if Cali- fornia won without the loss of a set. The Golden Gate and - California clubs have some good matches set for to-morrow. At - the courts the finals of doubles will be played. Will Allen and Tracy Crawford will be opposed to Sidney Salisbury and Frank String- ham. They will meet on even terms and a great contest will result. Neither team has won the cups. Allen. won them once with Dr. Hill, but they must be won three times with the same part- ner, On the park courts there will be matches in all four classes. In the first class there are four men left in the upper half and three in the lower.

The | Paper Mill Creek, being the most ac- | cessible te the sportsmen of this city, | attracted the usual opening day crowd. | As was expected, the returns were | small, the stream being unusually high {and muddy, If the weather remains | clear the fishing will be good by the | middle of next week, but each suc- cessive storm will defer the day when | 80od sport will be. assured. | W. Halstead is credited with having caught the largest fish yesterday—a | twelve-inch steelhead. The majority of the fish taken were of small size. The heavy rains of the past two ! months will make this a late season, but- when fishing does begin in earnest | great sport is promised. The high water has allowed the steelheads to | run up higher on the streams and In greater numbers than in many years. | It has also protected the fish from poachers and from the depredations of 4nd streams- of the Sierras have been | affected by the late season. It is the | opinion of experts that there wjll be no flyfishing on the coast streams un- | til May 1. As there is a lot of snow on } the mountains at present the flyfishing | will not be good there until early in {June. The Truckee will not be avail- | able for fiyfishing until still later. | Until the big streams settle the only fishing will be well up the small- tribu- taries, where salmon roe and angle- worms will prove the best lure. The fishing prospects on the Klamath River are unusually promising. Rain- bow trout have been going up Shovel | Creek in immense numbers. All the tributaries of the Klamath are report- ed teeming with trout. The market fishermen are already at Independence TLake and will fish through holes cut in the ice. C. A. Reed, the game warden of San- ta Cruz County, who is a close ob- server of the streams of that county, has made the following report to the information bureau of the Southern | | any other for a good many years. The | run has been especially good in San | Lorenzo River and in Scott and Wad- dell creeks. ‘To verify my own obser- | vations the people who live along these streams inform me that not in twenty | years have they seen so many fish as | they have this winter. When I say | that trout fishing should be good in | San Lorenzo River, that means it/ should be good in Bear, Deer, Kings, Two Bar, Boulder and Jameson creeks, for all these streams are tributaries of | the San Lorenzo. These streams are all easily reached from. the town of| Boulder Creek, the distance from the town to the farthest creek being only | a little o%er an hour's walk. A person | desiring a day’s sport cannot miss it if he fishes either in- Scott or Waddell creeks. When I visited those streams three days ago, besides the eight and ten pound fish I saw a great number that would scale from one-half to two pounds. The San Vicente, Soquel and ‘Aptos creeks are also splendid trout streams, and the fisherman that visits week and will not be able to play to- | MOrrow. faulted, although his match could easily be put over a week. Consider- ing the number of postponements and the fact that the match between Mac- | Gavin and Balker was postponed at the request of the latter, it would be rather ‘severe on MacGavin to default him. He had a lead of a set and 4-3 in the second when Baker ‘broke his racket and asked that the match be post- poned. The winner of this match will It is expected he will be de- | play Clarence Griffin in the semi- finals. . In the upper half Will Allen should win out easily. He plays H. Russell and if he wins will then meet Charles Dunlap.. The winner will play Carl Gardner in the semi-finals. MacGavin holds the cup in this class. Some matches have been played in the second and third classes. Play will be resumed in them to-morrow. The finals of the fourth class will also be played. larger fish.

The players will start by the electric car leaving the corner of Fifth and Market streets at 1:45 p. m. The ball will be put into play as soon as practicable after the arrival of the footballers at San Mateo. The direc- tors of the league wish to give the boys of the preparatory school a sam- ple of the game, in the nope that it may be taken up as an alternative to the intercollegiate game by boys who lack the necessary weight. Now that all the matches have been playéd for the championship of the California Association Football League, | the Oakland Hornets rank fifth in the | table of results, next below the Al- bion Rovers and above the Occidentals and Pickwicks. Had the Hornets lost their last match against the Pickwicks they would have dropped to last- place on the list. The Hornets’ victory last Sunday by the wide margin of 11 goals to 0 brought them up to fifth place. Although their score by points is the’| same as the Occidentals’ score, their goal average is better, the Hornets hav- ing had not quite one and a balf times as many goals made against as for them. The Occidentals have had their goal pierced three and a half times as often they have made goals as | against their opponents. Early in the season the Thistles set- un- March, when R.” A. Disher, playing on the Idora Park ground, injured his leg so that he was compelled to retire from the team in the last two matches. The Thistles have several good individual- players, the three Dishers in the for- ward line, Duncan and Taylor in the halfback line and T..S. Lydon as cen- ter forward being specially useful. In the final match for the California Association Footbalt Union cup the In- dependents beat the Thistles 2 goals to 1, the winning goal being scored by the Independents in the last three or four minutes. The ground was covered with water and slushy mud and seemed to suit the Independents better than the Thistles. For the Independents the | three Fay brothers rendered invaluable service. They have been picked to play for ‘the combined eleven against the league champions on April 24 at San Jose.

It is rather a formidable phalanx of college baseball men and the California fans look for first blood in this first round for the championshlp. Here is the way the teams will look from the bleachers: Stanford. Tritch -.Colbert . ’Bail (captain) L Wnnams "Third. base. Shortstop Adams (captain). Waulzen. .. Hamilton. .. Sweesy. .. If anytht muller while he will go in and twirl the “Heit” will then. displace Sweesy the center garden and Gunn will take Strub’s place at third. In case Bliss’ finger cannot stand the strain Tatur will take his place behind the bat. “I don't want to brag,” said Jack McCarthy yesterday, “but I think we have a team that's a winner. If we had half a chance with the weather, as Stanford did, we would be In still bet- ter trim. Our boys have played eight games and won all but one. That one was lost to St. Mary’s College on the Stanford diamond. Stanford has lost two or three games. “Our men are pretty evenly matched in all the departments of the game. They are all good batters and flelders. Heitmuller and’ Strub are the best pitchers the college could give us. “Graham on first is just about lanky enough for the job. Gillis fits In at second just about right. Adams has been tried out at short three seasons and Strub is as rapid at third as he is in the pitcher's box. Hamilton, Sweesy and Wulzen in the field seem to fill. 7 “Wulzen is about the best at bat. Heitmuller, Bliss, Strub and Gilli come next, and then the others .come trailing along go-as-you-please. They have all improved in the base run- ning business lately and some of their reckless stunting on the bags has been toned down.” The college teams will play three games, unless one of them wins the first two games, the championship be- ing <decided by the best two out of three. Next Saturday's game will be played at Stanford and the third, in case one is required, at some neutral grounds. is in the box Strub twisters. in the PRI e 3 CARDINAL MEN ARE HOPEFUL. See No Reason Why Their Team Should Not Win the First Game. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 1. After three months of hard practice and constant coaching, Stanford will her basebail team to-morrow against the University -of California in the first of the series of intercolleg~ jate games. For the first time in several years Stanford has a team which its ad- mirers think ought to defeat the Berkeley nine. Throughout the long season -there have been the usual ups and downs. At times the cardinals have played exceptional ball, -and again they have gone through a series of dumb plays that would take the heart out of any coach.. But now the team has rounded into shape. Char- ley Doyle led the men through the first months of training and at his de- parture two weeks ago “Jim” Lana- gan, last year's feotball coach, took his place. The change. proved bene- ficial. Besides pytting on the finjshing touches that Doyle would have -done; Lanagan has put a determined spirit into the team that the former never could have accomplished. - And. now Lanagan, sizing up the situation, says he does not see why Stanford should lose. X Tritch will probably pitch the first game for the cardinal team. He pitched -in the last intercollegiate game of last year and should prove Heitmuller's superior. He has plenty of speed and a delivery that is puz- zling to a batter.. His only. weaknéss is a tendengy to throw wild at times. Ceaptain Bruce Ball will gather -in Tritch’s shoots. -Ball played -third base on the varsity last year and was regular catcher on the team .three years ago. He is sure and fairly fast, while he is one of the best batters on the team. - ‘Stanford’s infield will. be inexperi- enced as far as intercollegiate games count, but it is the strongest part of the cardinal team and. should out- class that of California in fielding. Williams at second -is the. only vet- eran. . Ile played shortstop on last year's team and is a fast infielder. Trowbridge will cover shortstop. = He played right fleld in oneé game last year, but his real.position is in-the infield. Swain, a freshman, will gath- er in the difficult ones around third base. Swain played on the Palo Alto High School team for several years. He has improved wonderfully on the varsity squad, easily beating out all competitors. First base will be held down -by Colbert, who played on the second team last year. He is a fair fielder and a good hitter. In the outfield Wirt, in center, is the only veteran., He is the best fleld- er that has been at Stanford for sev- eral years. He is also second in the batting order. Chalmers will play left field. He is a freshman from Portland, where he played in high school. Sales will play right field. He is substitute pitcher and will prob- ably pitch one of the games, in which case Knight, a 1902 varsity right fielder, will take his place,
