The prospects of close contests in every number on the card is bright. The intercollege rivalry be- tween Stanford and Berkeley lends an added charm and the fight for su- premacy against both by the Academic ! Athletic League lads and independent athletes against both throws a glamor over the whole affair. Only the best men in their lines have sent in en- tries and the winners will be entitled to the trip planned for them to rep- resent the coast at the Olympian games in St. Louis. Owing to delinquencies of the mails three entries were omitted in the orig- inal list. West, Stanford’s broad jump winper, will be among the ‘leap- ers and Claude Kern and Harry Dane of the University of California will sprint for glory in the quarter mile race. CRICKETERS MAY | GET NEW GROUND |Golf Club Entertains Idea of Making Provision for British National Game The membership roll of the San Fran- cisco County Cricket Club has been | handed in to the California Cricket sociation by T. J. A. Tiedemann, act- jing secretary of the winners of last | year's championship. It contains thirty- | three names, as follows: W. 8. McGavin, presids T. J. A. Tiedemann, Richardson, honorary eec: : H Boulton. Cookson, Rev Dixon, L. Holton, | E. G ! . G. i Sloman and H. B. E H. Wingfield-Digby, T. Evans. J R Kortlang, J Mortague, E. Petersen, H D. Reynolds, H. Roberts, J. D. Robert- | M. G. Ross, R. Shand. W. R. Stewart, | T. B. Smith, C. Stratton Stratton, T H. A. Tiedemann and A The foregoing list contains the names of several well-known association foot- { ballers. C. W. Irish, H. Roberts and J. D. Robertson are referees of the Cali- | fornia Association Football Union, | { while A. E. J. Chivers, L. E. Duquesne, | | R. Hooker, P. R. John, E. M. Petersen, hand and A. Weaver were mem- of teams that played for the championship. H. H. Cookson is an old bowler of the Bohemian Club, which | won the championship in 1896, but went | out of existence at the close of the sea- i son of 1897. The Rev. S. H. Wingfield- | Digby is also a member of the Pacific | Club, but may not play with more than one club during the season. With H. | B. Richardson, B. Kortlang, E. G. Slo- man, E. M. Petersen, A. E. J. Chivers, | P. R. john, H. H. Cookson, T. J. A. Tiedemann and other good cricketers, the destination of the championship emblem of 1904 can be foreseen pretty accurately already. 1f it should be found possible to make provision for cricket on the tract of land to be taken up by the San Fran- | cisco Golf Club the British game would receive the greatest impetus it has ever | had in the Pacific States. A good | ground with attractive surroundings, where it is possible to have a turfed pitch, would attract many lovers of | cricket who do not care for the game under present conditions. It is prob- able the directors of the golf club, if it should be found practicable, would sub- let the necessary area to the cricketers on a long lease on favorable terms. Since many of the cricketers would not | be prepared to become members of the golf club it would be necessary for the cricketers to erect their own pavilion. It has been suggested on several occa- sions that the cricketers of San Fran- cisco and neighborhood should en- deavor to secure a ground and pavilion of their own, and certain locations have been looked at, but nothing has result- ed from the suggestions. The present is an opportune moment for a revival of the effort to establish cricket on a satisfactory footing in San Francisco and vicinity. A ground on this side of Duquesne L.

L CITY GOLF CLUB SEEKS NEW LINKS Country Club With Polo| and Other Out- of-Door Recreation Is Projected At 3 general meeting of the members of the San Francisco Golf Club held | last Saturday in this city it was de- cided to incorporate. The club has con- ciuded to abandon the attempt to keep the course on the Presidio reser- vation in suitable condition for golf and is seeking pastures new. The com- mittee appointed to select a new loca- tion consists of R. J. Woods, S. C. BRuckbee, H. M. Hoyt and Warren Gregory. During the week the committee has been examining a tract at Inglesjde near i.ake Merced. This is-the prop- erty of the Spring Valley Water Com- pany, which is desirous to have the golfers located on its ground that they may aid in the task of keeping tres- passers out. To-morrow the committee will go over the tract of land suggest- ed in company with W. Schussler, chief engineer of the Spring Valley Water Company. . Robert Johnstone, the pro- fessional of the San Francisco Golf Club, thinks well of the tract and has expressed the opinion that good turf can be grown upen it. The committee has provisionally laid out an eighteen- hole course from a rougn plan that has been prepared of the tract. Inasmuch as the Spring Valley Wafer Company will not permit the golf club | to erect a house upon the ground, it will be necessary for the club to pur- chase some land adjacent to the pro- posed tract on which to build. A suit- able piece of land owned by President T. H. Williams of the New California Jockey Club is available and it is un- derstood arrangements can be made to purchase any quantity that may be de- sired up to twenty acres. It is the intention of the golf club to provide facilities not only for golf but also for lawn tennis, polo and other sports, to establish a country club in fact. It has been suggested that pro- vision might be made for a cricket ground also.

Will Allen will | probably play with Drummond .\[:u--i Gavin. They played together in |Ixr~‘ last event of this kind, but were not successful. Théy will probably allow | the Baker brothers a slight h;mdi(‘up.} The California Tennis Club will hold | a similar tournament one week later. | | last named teams are the only ones of | the four now playing for the cups. Dr. | Hill will in future play with Dr. Me- Chesney. The win of Allen and Hill | | will not count for either of them. | Grant Smith has dropped out and his brother will join forces with Sidney | Salisbury. Young Smith has tried: his | luck with both Mitchell and Collier, but these teams did not meet with | success. Smith and Salisbury should make a good team. | McChesney and Hill will also be a | hard team to beat. | The fair players from the two uni-| versities caused quite a surprise by | the excellent tennis they played in the second annual contest. The best play- | ers in the central and northern part | | of the State were pitted against each | | other and the tennis had more class | than most women's events. Miss“ Ratcliffe and Miss Edwards are proba- | bly the best players outside of the Southern California champlons. De- spite this fact the inexperienced Stan- ford girls made a good showing. They easily held their own in the doubles and although the scores in singles were one-sided the Stanford players ! were not outclassed. thirty-six hcles, medal score. The con. | testant who makes the best score wilfl receive a gold medal, and the player | who hands in the second best score | will receive a silver medal. Entries, accompanied by the fee of $2. should be made with the secretary of ‘tha c¢lnb to which the intending con- testant belongs before 3 p. m. on Thursday, May 5. The lists of entries, accompanied by the entrance fees, | must be placed by the secretaries of the clubs in the hands of George E.

The mem- bers of the Inswich Club are requested to have their golf balls stamped with a private mark, registered with the professional, who keeps'a list of them. Buying balls from caddies or others is strictly prohibited. All golf balls found on the course are brought to the pro- fessional, who p&ys the caddie a maxi- mum price of eight cents apiece for them. Members can redeem their own on payment of the amount paid by the professicnal. plus four cents for his trouble. This system not only enables a golfer to get his own property back, but marked balls are useful on crowd- ed links when players are doubtful whether a ball belongs -to themselves or to another by Fortuna
