As the Upiversity of California is bound to have a light team this year on account of the loss of so many of last vear's veterans, it will be the aim of the coacheg to develop a fast team. Coach Hopper had some experience with Eastern teams last year and this experience will be of great value to California this vear. There will be many new tricks to learn in the way of developing speed and much time will be spent mastering them. Demeritt, Heitmuller, Stroud and Howard are the only rematning mem- | bers of last vear's eleven on the line. | Overall, Stow and Hudson have left college and have left some big gaps be- hind them, too. Of the backs there are | rem: ng Snedigar, Force and Stern, the absentees being Mini, Whipple and More. To make up for these losses Califor- nia will have to look to its second elev- |en and the freshmen of last year. The available second eleven men are Reed, Gray, Phillips, Elliott and Oliver for the line and Muther, Belknap and Boynton for the backs. Kern, captain of the freshmen team, is the best the baby eleven offers. Captain Stroud will retain his old po- | sition as center, with Phillips a reli- | able substitute. For guard Reed, Gray and Heitmuller are available, though Heitmuller may be out of it on account |of a late attack of appendicitis. The tackles will probably be Howard and Force, though Howard may be changed | to guard and Force retained in his old place as fullback. A brother of SBam Stow, last vear's crack guard, will en- ter college this year and it is possible {he will fill his distinguished relative's place, in which event there would be more shifting about. For ends there are more candidates than for any other position. There are Demeritt of last year's varsity, Oliver, | Coogan, Henry and Caminetti. Oliver | is one of the likeliest, as he fulfilled his mission splendidly when tried out last year. For the backs Snedigar is about the only one that will come through and go through. Snedigar has all the dash | of a finished player and it was some of | this spirit that saved the day last year. | Kern, as halfback of last year's fresh- | men, acquitted himself handsomely and | the chances are greatly in favor of his being accepted for a place. | who was ftried out at fullback last year, may be used for a half this year. | In Force and Stern the college has | two premier players for fullback. Both Jpln_\'ed a half in that position last year | and demonstrated their fitness. Force v be used for the line, however, in which event there will be nobody to challenge Stern. | Belknap is the best for a quarter- | back. A severe injury kept him out of | the game last year and Johnny More was given the place.

J. 8. Brans- ford, supervisor of racing at the fair, has been at Sacramento this week of- fering California horse owners induce- ments to visit Utah and race at the meeting. It is said that about two carloads of California horses have been secured by him. An Eastern horse expert, who recent- Iy inspected Lou Dillon, the champion trotter, says: aw Lou Dillon at the Cleveland track other day taking her first work in har- since the sickness that came upon her suddenly last month.

A billlard and a card tournament will be held. To-morrow a cruise outside the Heads will be taken, the tide serving favorably. The tide runs out at Fort Point from 7:22 a. m. to-morrow till 12:10 p. m., and floods until 6:15 p. m., making it easy for the boats to get home to their moorings. At noon to-day the flagship Speed- well of the Corinthian Yacht Club will start on a trip to the southern waters of the bay, where the visitors will be entertained to-morrow by the members of the South Bay Yacht Club. Curtis Barker and Edward Maynard of San Jose will pilot the Corinthians. The flagship will be accompanied by the sloops Edna, Aeolus, Neptune, Espey, | Fleetwing and Genesta. To-morrow | will be spent at the Alviso clubhouse, | where there will be a barbecue and clambake. Several gaseline launches are included in the fleet of the South | Bay Yacht Club and these will be em- ployed taking the visitors around the southern bay.

In the 20-foot class the sloops Vixen and Zada and the yawl Kittiwake will make an interesting race. In the 25-foot class the sloops Ruby, Discovery and Neva will have a royal battle for first prize. The contest is always close among the yachts of the 30;foot class, though W. G. Morrow’s sloop Challenger is sure of first place. In the 36-foot class the speedy Harpoon will fight it out with F. Stone’s enlarged and improved slcops Nixie and Speedwell will con- tend for first place. F. G. Berry has fitted the Nixie with a new suit of sails and Commodore Jennings will have the Speedwell in the best of trim. Though the new centerboard sloop Corinthlan defeated the fin-keel sloop Challenger in the recent race for the Perpetual Challenge Cup, there are many yachtsmen who think the Chal- lenger the better boat. The conditions of the weather on the day of the race were especially suited to the shallow, beamy boat and many yachtsmen be- lieve tha with a strong breeke and in a heavy sea the Challenger would turn {the tables on the Corinthian. It is | practically certain that the San Fran- {eisco Yacht Club will challenge for ‘the trophy next year, naming the ! Challenger as its representative. It is not, however, by any means certain the Corinthian will be chosen as the defender. Though the Corinthlan ac- complished the purpose for which she was bullt, it is pretty well known that she has disappointed her builders and owners. L trand, A. J. McKerron, T. Harrls, W.

Several of the cricketers wish to avail themselves of the holiday on Monday, and as the match Veterans versiis Juniors will not take place, the 18th is an open date. There was some talk of making up a team of city cricketers to visit Santa Cruz during the Admission day holi- days, but the present idea is to play a game of association football there on the 9th. The arrangements, however, have not been completed, as the play- ers here are awaiting a definite reply from Santa Cruz. The victory of the Alameda cricket eleven in last Sunday's match against the San Francisco County Club puts the Encinal Club in the lead for the championship of 1904. The Alameda team went to the wickets first, and, though McNaughton and Baugh were run out for small scores, made a total of 157 runs, the chief contributors being F. A. Stahl (26), S. M. Foster (34), F. J. Croll (28), George Croll (13), H. Boyd (11) and J. H. Saunders (14, not out). The fact that three men were run out shows that.the Alameda men. were -anxious to score, F. J.

MOTORISTS PLA Leading Automobile Clubs of California to Run From This City to Los Angeles Now that the annual meet and races | of the Automobile Club of California at Del Monte are over, L. P. Lowe, the indefatigable chairman of the club, has turned his attention once r.ore to the proposed joint epdurance run of the Automobile clubs of *California and of Southern California. The plan at first arranged was for the San Francisco automobilists to journey in their motor cars to Los An- geles and, after a two d.ys' rest there, to journey back in company with the southern motorists, wno, after a two days' stop in San Francisco, were to make the return trip to Los Angeles. This arrangement would have made a round trip of about a thousamd miles for the motor cars. It is thought, however, that the 500-mile trip in one direction will be a sufficient test of the endurance of the cars and, incidentally, of their drivers. According to the presént plans, the northerners and’ southerners will start together . from San Francisco ‘Wednesday, the 21_t inst., and journey south. The first control will be Sa- linas; the gecond San Luis Obigpo, and the third Santa Barbara. On the 2ith the motorists wiil reach Los Angeles. The event will be in charge of L. P. Lowe, 3. G. Buckbee and C. C. Moore, the raeing committee of the Automo- bile Club of California. The most brilliant performer at the recent races at Del “fonte was George P. Fuller, who won the Del Monte cup and several other trophies and was selected as the representative of the Automobile Club of California in the contest for the interclub perpetual challenge cup presentgd by L. P. Lowe. Though Mr. Fullet is an amateur, who races for love of the sport, he is hard- ly less skillful than Barney Oldfield in rounding the cormers of the track at high ‘speed. ——— compound chemical lecithin to promote the growth of giants. { tends on | e BROWNS™ SUCCESS | PUILLE TO FANS | Pacific Coast League May Lose Many Players When | Drafting Process Begins IR NS How “Keg” Dugdale manages to keep apace with that mottled ball team of his is a problem that would Worry any baseball fan.

The stake was run for the first time in 1900 under the auspices of the Inter- state Coursing Club. It was won by Frank Jones' Harlean Gladys (St Lawrence-Moonlight), the same own- er's Lovina, the same breeding, being the runner up. In 1901 it was won by Sterl & Knowles' Cold Shivers (Imp. For Freedom-Amorosa). George Nether- cott’s Hickory Dick (Rochester-Little Wonder) finished second. In 1902 George Nethercott's Poca- telli (Emin Pasha-Little Wonder) commenced his victorious career by defeating W. T. Rought's Belle Free (Fetter Free-Daisy Belle). In 1903 P. J. Horgan's Irvington Tralee (Cronin's Wild Tralee-Manila) beat F. A. McComb's Manhattan King (Fetter Free-Motto). The candidates fof this year’s stake show marked class, having both size and speed. They prove that the breeders are aiming at a high stand- ard in the development of the breed of greyhounds in this country and that they are realizing their ideals. Of the fifty-three entries in this year’s stake twenty-seven are by imported sires and twenty-six by American sires. Fetter Free heads the list with fifteen rep- resentatives.
