GOLFERS ACTIVE AT SAN RAFAEL San Francisco Club Ex- amines Location for a New Links Near Ingleside Track The committee appointed to new grounds for the San Francis Golf Club went over the tract at In- gleside last Sunday in company with Chief Engineer Schussler of ‘the Spring Valley Water Company. cellently euited for select a golf course was selected and satisfactory arrangements | will no doubt be made between the Cirectors of the golf club and those of | the water compa The ground selected is rolling and varied in character, affording many natural hazards As soon as the con- ditions on which the ground will be held have been settled the work of i provement will begin. Advantage wil be taken of the contour of the land as far as possible, the holes being laid out from an accurate n in such a man- per as to utilize the natural obstacles as hazards. A clubhouse will be erect- ed on land to be purchased from President T. H. Willlams, who w permit the golf club members to use the entrance to the race track at In- gleside as a means of approach. It is probable, however, that the club will arrange to have a separate approach to its quarters, The course on the Presidio reserva- tion has not been entirely deserted by the golfers, several of whom still find pleasure and recreation there. When the time comes the clubhouse standing just outside the reservation will be sold. As property in that part of the town has Increased in value, the club- Louse, which 1= well bulit and can eas- ily be adapted for use as a private residence, can be sold advantageously. On Saturday, May 7, the tournament for the championship of the Northern rnia olf Association for 1904 will be played on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club. As the competition is & medal play one, it will be complet- ed in a day. Entries with the secre- aries of the affiliated clubs close on Thursday, May 5, and must reach the secretary of the C. G. A. not later than 3 p: m. Friday, May 6. The opening handicap for men of the San Rafael Golf Club was won by R J. Davis with a gross and net score of 107 for the eighteen holes. The scores of the other competitors were as fol- lows: W. J. Casey, 114 less 4, net 110; R. B. Hellman, 130 less 18, met 112: Douglas S. Hardy, 120 less S, net 112; Carleton Curtis, 115 Jess 2, net 113; F. H. Beaver, 117 gross and net; A. S. Lilley, 117 gross and net; F. D. Madi- son, 130 less 13, net 117. The following competitions have been arranged to take place on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club after the con- test for tfe championship of Northern California. On Saturday, May 14, there will be a handicap over eighteen holes for men and a putting competi- tion for women. On Saturday, May 28, there will be a handicap over eighteen holes for men, the best eight gross scores in which will qualify for the competition for the Council's Cup for men; also a handicap over nine holes for women, the makers of the lowest eight scores' to qualify for the compe- tition for the Council's Cup for women. On Decoration ddy the first and second match play rounds for the Council's Cup will take place. On Saturday, June 4, the final rounds of the competitions for the Council's cups will be. held. G. W. Beldam's book entitled “Great Golfers” shows the most elaborate ap- plication of the art of instantaneous photography to golfing that has yet been published. Horace G. utchinson’s bool, published some years ago, aid something in this line, but G. W. Bel- dam’s work goes much further, The exact stance adopted by eminent play- ers for different strokes is shown by the aid of a mat divided into spaces six inches square, and it is“found that the stances vary considerably. Seventy photoBraphs are given by Varden and Taylor. By means of exposures of one- thousandth part of a second eight il- lustrations—four of the upward swing and four of the follow-through—of Harry Varden making a full drive are given. It is interesting to observe that long after the impact of the club and tall, when the top of the swing is nearly reached, Varden's eye is still riveted on the spot whence the ball was driven. Four leading professiona] golfers furnish notes about their meth- ods of play, and H. H. Hilton, the well-known amateur, gives similar in- formation about amateurs. —_———— APPRAIEE HEALEY ESTATE.—The estate of the late Charles S. Healey was appraiseq vesterday at $164,440.

Jamieson, a well-known member of the Paclfic Cric Eeason that was to have,been played to-morrow on the Alameda ground be- tween the Pacific and Alameda elevens | has been postponed to the first date for which no pennant match is set down | on the schedule. This is Sunday, May 122, on which date the Alameda and Pacific elevens will meet for the first time during the present year. The opening match of the season will be played on Sunday, May 8, between sentatives of the Alameda and co County clubs. Harold B. Richardson, captain of the San Fran- cisco County Ciub, has returned from a long visit to England, and wili be on hand captain the winners of last season's championehip. The tenure by which the cricketers hold the ground at Webster street, | Alameda, is 80 unsatisfactory and the absolute loss of the ground is so prob- able that it behooves the lovers of the British national game to look around for a suitable ground eisewhere. For many reasons a ground on part of the land to be taken up by the San Fran- cisco Golf Club for its new course and | clubhouse is highly desirable, as the game would then be played amid pleas- surroundings and under favorable con ons. The golf club is disposed to offer ali the encouragement possible to the crickete who should make a vigorous effort to estabiish the game on a good and secure basis. If pleasant surroundings can, be secured. many good cricketers who do not care for the game under present conditions would be discovered and would give their hearty support. Some unwillingness to come over to San Francisco might be found among these cricketers who reside In Ala- | | to meda, but this opposition ought not to be eerfous. For many years resi- dents of San Francisco have found It practicable to ss the bay for the purpose of playing cricket in Alameda {or Klinknerville. The objection gen- erally heard is that the summer climate of San Francisco is too foggy and cold for cricket, and this is a real draw- back to the game in Golden Gate Park, but the tract suggested near Ingleside, owing to its situation, is fre¢ from fogs and is protected by belts of well- grown eucalyptus trees. C. W. Ben- nett, the British Consul General, and F. Bennion of the Alameda Cricket Club Jooked over ‘the tract at Ingle- side on Sunday last and earnestly hope that it may be possible to take advan- tage of the kind offer of the g@f club. Such an excellent chance to put the game on a satisfactory footing is not likely to occur again. The following names have been added to the list of members of the Alameda Cricket Club: William McCulloch, C. C. Y. Williamson and the Rev. D. J. Evans. —_——— SCOTTISH BOWLERS ENTER INTO THE GAME WITH ZEST Both a Singles and a Doubles Tourna- ment Are Finally Under Way z at the Park. The members of the San Francisco Scottish Bowling clubs have finally started both their tournaments and the most successful season in the his- tory of the club is lookea forward to. Only one match was played in the sin- gles last week and it ‘was rather one- sided, but the doubles matches were close and interesting. Of the eight teams entered five have been disposed of and as many more matches are expected to be played this afternoon. There is still a preliminary round match to be played. It is the match between H. L. Tickner and T. G. Aitken and D. O’'Brien and Joseph Gray. The latter won the match two weeks ago, but the bowls used by O’Brien were not of the standard bias and the match will be played over. In the first round the following teams will be opposed to each other: J. P, Taylor and W. H. Stewart vs. Alex Hay and A. McNair; J. 8, Webster and G. C. Patterson vs. Tickner and Aitken or O'Brien and Gray; Charles Adams and James Gray vs. E. J. Clin- ton and A. A. McVicar; Y. C. Lawson and A. Craig vs. W. R. Eaton and Dr. Hamilton. The following matches remain to be played in the preliminary round of the singles: J. Stott vs. T. Rolph, W. K. Guthrie vs, H. H. Lynch, R. C. Patterson vs. P. Noble, J. McGilvray vs. J.

It is a most significant event, this regatta, as it marks the first attempt at organized intercollegiate rowing on the Pacific Coast. It Is the point up to which the rowing enthusiasts of the University of California have been working for a long time, and now their hopes are to be realized. This small beginning portends great things for the future, and it is confidently predicted that the time will come when intercollegiate rowing will be a recogrized institution, in much the same way it is among the Eastern colleges. There will be two races at to-day's regatta. The first will be between the varsity crews of the University of Cal- ifornia and of Stanford University, and the second between the varsity crews of California, Washington and Stan- ford. It is possible there will be three races. In case the barge the California men expect to use does not arrive only two crews can race at a time. If this should happen California and Wash- ington will race first and the winner will meét Stanford to decide thé cham- plonship. The Washington crew is made up of the most experienced water men, and it confidently expects to repeat the per- formance of last summer, when It left California far behind on Lake Wash- ington. A look at the crew rowing on the estuary shows the men are masters of the art of rowing. Their long, sweep- ing stroke at twenty-eight to the min- ute seemed to become the oarsmen much like their clothes, and there was an air of confidence about the whole thing. California’s crew does not put up that sturdy, confident appearance, but the men will make the water fly when the time comes. It rows a faster stroke than Washington and expects to win with from thirty-six to forty to the minute. The Stanford crew is new- to the game and is not looked upon as a winner, though it may develop a surprising burst of speed and endurance at the last minute. Waskington is a heavier crew than either of the others, the dif- ference in weight being something like five pounds to ‘the man. This is quite an advantage and may decide the fate of the day. The varsity crews consist of the fol- lowing men: Washington—Carl Van Pullen, cap- tain and bow; Dan Pullen, forward waist; Clinton Lantz, afterwaist; Fred McEImon, stroke. Stanford—Dole, bow; Bryan, forward- waist; Cheadle, afterwaist; Butterfield, stroke. \ California—E. J. Grindley, bow; G. J. Anloff, forwardwaist; E. A. Bannister, afterwaist; A. S. Bunnell, stroke and captain; Loeb, cockswain. As for the freshman crews of the two California colleges, little is known, and it will take the race to tell which is the better. The Stanford crew will con- sist of C. E. Bee, bow; F. Zimmerman, forwardwaist; N. P. Bryan, afterwaist; G. E. Dole, stroke; A. Rosenfeld, cock- swain. California’s ecrew consits of Reeves, bow; Joy, forwardwaist; Jones, afterwaist; Schreiber, stroke and cap- tain; Gray cockswain. The course will be a mile and a half straightaway. The start will be beyond the Webster street bridge, about oppo- site Broadway, up the estuary to a point opposite Sessions basin. The race will begin at 2:30 o’clock. Launches will be at Peterson’s whart at 1 o'clock to carry sightseers across the bay and to follow the races. — Lawson, P. J. Winegar vs. J. Gilchrist, P, L. Dunn vs. W. J. Watson, A. B, ire” vs. .

The contend- ers will be Richard Anton and Barge, and followers of the sport express their inabllity to pick the ultimate winner. Richard Anton a two-year-old black dog by Rocker-imp. Fiery Face. Rocker is a son of the mighty Sky- rocket, while Fiery Face is by the great English dog. Fabulous Fortune, out of Eille de Feu. Barge Is a three-year-old brindle ang white dog, by Sylvanus-Freda C. Sy vanus s by Midnight-Pride of the Val- ley. The dam is by Border Ruffian- Daisy Hill. Richard Anton has started six times this season, winning one stake. Having been brought gradually to his best run- ning weight, sixty-one pounds, he took this stake in easy fashion. Barge dur- ing the same period has started four times and won one stake. In their trials they have shown such superior speed over other greyhounds that a direct comparison can hardly be made. There are few greyhounds now running which can lead either of them to the hare. T. J.’Cronin has a pair of fourteen- months-old white and black puppies by is Vandal-Sky Blue, which are pro- nounced the finest young dogs ever seen here. If they withstand the he- roic training Mr. Cronin gives his dogs they are expected to make a name on the field. The predictions of M. C. Delano of Rocklin that the progeny of Fortuna-Fa- vente-olden Russet would prove great greyhounds have been fulfilled. Hudson has already distinguished himself, and the eyes of the coursing merfare on his brother, Golden Fortune, owned by D. Walsh of Sacramento. This young greyhound is showing remarkable speed and is improving steadily. Frank Dunn of the same litter was coursed when too young or he would have made a wonderful record. Mr. Delano, who is the closest stu- dent of greyhound breeding in Amer- ica and who raised the puppies, did not think Hudson would be fast. The young dog is improving rapidly and is expect- ed to reach the top of the list. The running will commence at Union Park to-morrow upon the arrival of the 10:15 o'clock train. There will also be special trains at 11:30, 1 and 1:30 o'clock. The first three will stop at Valencia street. The first of the trials between Richard Anton and Barge will be run before luncheon. The likely winners look to be: 5 Hudson, Hapbhazard, Rocker Arm, Ragtime, Agzfe W, Free Born, J E H, Sir Winton, Lulu Girl, Menlo Prince, Fontenoy, Real Ar- ticle, Cloverdale. Vandal, Golden Fortune, Red Rock, Game Boy, McVey, Conroy, Sem: prontus, Viking, High Born, Cubanola, Merry Go-Round, Friendless Boy, 'Renegade Apac Flaunt, Texas Hoo Hoo, Frisky Barbara, Reai Pasha,’ Duballow, Racing Auto. The coursing at Ingleside Park to- morrow will commence at 10:30 o’clock, the card being made up of a sixty- four-dog open stake. The greyhounds seem unusually well matched and some exciting running is expected. The like- ly winners look to be: Apple Blossom, Rapld Water, Reckless Ac- robat, Fannie Huchie, Roval Friend, Lily York, Frisky Boy, Wedgewood, Cosette, Northern Alarm, Prometheus, Gold Lily, Red Pepper, Dorothy Pepper _Hill, Quita. Golden' Garter, Roy Hughie, Young Johnny Rex, Yellow 1, Little Plunger, Pure Pearl, i Adonis, Firm Fellow. Homer Orsina, Glaucus, Rector, Young Fearless, Colored Lady, Lord Granard. Stiver Clou —_——————— Pawnbroker Arrested. Louis P. Levy, pawnbroker, 755 Mission street, was arrested yesterday by Detective Taylor and booked at the City Prisen on warrants charging him with receiving stolen property and not making an entry in his books of goods purchased. Detective Taylor had rea- son to believe that property stolen from the mmf.ce of John Sans, 215% Sixth streét, about) three weeks ago had been purchased by Levy, but a visit to Levy’s place failed to show any trace of it. Taylor made another visit and found hidden in a rear room a sealskin coat and other clothing be- longing to Sans. No entry had been made in Levy’'s books since September last. ————— Sells Junk Belonging to City. Morris Levy, secretary of the Board of Public Works, acted as auctioneer yesterday at a sale of junk and\scrap iron belonging to the city. The bid- ding was lively and spirited, coming from a score or more ‘of second-hand dealers. The sum of $1730 was real- ized from the sale, Darby Martin_be- ing the successful bidder. ' 7 TOURNAMENT PLAY ENGAGES EXPERTS Tennis Men in Training for the Annual Championship To Be Held Next Month With the first championship tennis tournament of the year just a month off, the players are commencing to condition themselves for the annual events for the State and coast cham- pionships. Outside of these two events the San Francisco championship is probably the most important. It was inaugurated three years ago, when George Whitney became the first Bay City champion. He was succeeded by Grant Smith, who won the second annual champion- ship. The title Is held by Drummond MacGavin, who carried off the honors last year. Whitney and Smith were called upen to play through the tournament, where- as in most championship events the champion stands out. A challenge cup was donated last May and the ques- tion has arisen as to whether or not the present champion should play in the tournament. The San Francisco championship is held annually on May 30. MacGavin is playing an excellent game at present and is expected to retain his title. Percy Murdock, Will Allen or George Baker should win the tournament. That one of the three will play Mac- Gavin for the championship is almost a certaint The California Tennis Club will hold a handicap doubles tournament to- morrow for the Directors’ cups. Four or five of the teams entered are eveniy matched and some close and interest- ing contests are expected. Will Allen_and Tracy Crawford are in possession of the cups, which have been won also by Allen and Dr. Hill, Grant and Chester Smith and Herbert Schmidt and Harry Rolfe. Allen and Crawford, McChesney and Hill, C. Smith and Salisbury and Schmidt and Rolfe will all play within “2-6” of each other. Mitchell, Mac- Gavin and . Collier have not secured partners. Entries for the tourney close at 9:30 to-morrow morning, when the drawing will be held. The Golden Gagte Club will finish its handicap doubles tournament to-mor- row. The committee in charge han- dled the affair excellently. Early in the afternocn twenty-two of the twenty-six teams had been disposed of, leaving but four in the competition. Numerous defaults helped materially, but the matches were run off rapidly considering the limited number of courts at the disposal of the players. For the most part the handicapping was good, although a mistake was probably made when Allen and Griffin were not placed on the same matk as the Baker brothers. Both lost and no harm was done, but a meeting between the two should surely be on even terms. The fact that none of the poorer teams ever gets as far as the semi-finals shows they do not receive large enough handicaps. More of them should be given “30. The four remaining teams should fur- nish some Interesting matches to-mor- row. A. Brabant and Stewart Gay- ness will receive *“2-6” from Norman Ambrose and Marius Hotchkiss. The latter should win with these odds, but the match will probably be close. The other semi-final match is more uncer- tain. George Bates and Ed Finnegan will receive “4-6” from Clarence Foley and Charles Dunlap, who will be “3-6" back of scratch. These are liberal odds and Bates and Finnegan stand an ex- cellent chance of reaching the finals. If they hope to win, Foley and Dun- lap will have to play fully as well as they did last Sunday, when they showed their best form. “ Most of the park playefs figure that Ambrose and Hotchkiss will meet Foley and Dunlap in the finals. This would be an interesting match. The former would receive odds of “owg 3-6." By taking Griffin i camp again ‘last Sunday Herbert Long proved he is by far the most promising young player in the State. Long’s improve- ment since the first of the year is the most talked of thing n tennis circles. A good style to bégin with, combined with hard daily practice, has put him where he is. His position is rather a peculiar one. He failed to win the third class tournament three months ago, yet if there were to be a class tournament now he would go into the second class and would stand an ex- cellent chance of carrying off the hon- ors.

The racing will take place on the first and last days, the Sunday being devoted to an exhibition of motor cars. The affair will be under the management of the Automobile Club of Calffornia and will not be devoted solely to racing, as was the case at the meet held last fall. An endeavor will be made to dergon- strate’ the utility of mechanically pro- pelled vehicles for everyday purposes. It is hoped to attract some of the ex- pert Eastern operators and to induce W. K. Vanderbilt Jr., who holds the world’s record for a straightaway mile, to compete. Some of the California drivers of motor cars have covered a mile in less than sixty seconds and it is expected they will furnish some in- teresting contests. There will be sev- eral pursuit races, conducted on the Australian plan. In these events the motor cars are started half a mile apart on the oval track-and continue racing until one overtakes the cther. Usual- Iy such a race extends to about ten miles and proves highly exciting. It is intended to have novelty races of various Kkinds for professional and amateur operators. The profits of the exhibition races will be devoted to spreading the gospel of good roads in and near San Francisco. —_———— TUNING UP MODEL YACHTS FOR THE SEASON'S RACING All the Small Craft at Spreckels Lake Will Be Weighed for Displace- ment and Measured. Although the racing season at Spreckels Lake, Golden Gate Park, started two weeks ago, the San Fran- cisco Model Yacht Club officials have considerable work to do in measur- ing and classifying all the boats. The measuring tank is about completed and all the racing models will be weighed for displacement, megeured and stamped. A reclassification has been made lately which tends to make the boats in the different classes more evenly matched, especially so is this in the first class. The minimum water line length has been raised from thirty to thirty-five inehés. The boats were formerly di- vided into only two classes, the first being from fifty to forty inches and the second from forty to thirty. In the future there will be three classes. The first will be fifty to forty-five, the second forty-five to forty and the third inches. There have been too few races as yet to get a line on the different boats. Many of them have competed in but one heat, while some have not started. The honors up to date have been car- ried off by Forrest's Piute and Bran- non’s Sophie. The Piute won the pennant a week ago Sunday, while the Sophie carried off the flag last Sunday. The new sloop Fannie, the latest boat built by the Collier brothers, made an excellent showing in her inttial start last Sunday. She was sec- ond in the first trial, won the second and finished second to the Sophie in the finals. The Colliers’ new model is a fast one and should win many pen- nants. The Albatross is another boat that has done well, but will not be raced in future, as her owner, O. Nelson, leaves shortly for Alaska. —————— Accused of Insulting Women. Miss Mabel de Somer and Miss Bee Carletoii secured a warrant each from Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday for the arrest of “John Doe” on a charge of disturbing the peace. They are em~- ployed by M. Siminoff, cloak manu- facturer, 1230 Market street, and al- lege that wken they enter and leave the store men who are boycotting it make insulting remarks to them. One of them was particularly offensive yes- terday morning and they want him punished. —_———— Lee Lim Acquitted. Lee Lim, indicted with W. F. Dasha, Thomas Dempsey and Thomas T.
