In a league match, where the score is reckoped by points, each teal would take one point, but in cup |matches one team must defeat the {other, the winning eleven passing on i to the next round and the losing team i dropping out of the contest. The imatch between the Hornets and Pick- wicks will, therefore, have to be re- played, and this will be done at Free- man’s Park, Golden Gate, on Sunday, the 19th inst. —————— ‘Wants Her Son Arrested, Mrs. Maggie Adler, 8306 Twenty- sixth street, obtained a warrant from Police Judge Mogan yesterday for the arrest of her son William on a charge of petty larceny. She sald that he had stolen an overcoat, a suit of clothes, a watch chain, revolver and $5. He wanted to join the circus, and she said he would be found there, J i8% J - & 3 SOME VARIETIES OF BIRDS WHICH WILL: BE SEEN AT THE SHOW. iastic observance of bird habits ap- pears trivial and beneath notice, yet it is of the greatest importance to agriculture. Only a few weeks ago there was a protest from a portion of the Santa Clara Valley over existing game laws, which prevent the killing of quail except during certain seasons. They pleaded for destruction of the little game birds. making the point that grape and grain crops were in danger of being ruined. The Game Commission sent a man to the fleld, several of the supposed pests were killed' and the crops were found to centain only insects, seeds of per- nicious weeds and a_ few grape pits. Furchr study showed the grape seeds were from fruit that had fallen from the vines. The plea was proved to be for the destruction of the agricul- turist’s best friends instead of his ene- mies. In the forthcoming exhibition of the Forest, Fish and Game Association at the Mechanics’ Pavilion in April, it ie hoped to bring the general pub- lic on a more intimate footing with the feathered tribes that make Cali- fornia a home. The educational pro- cess will not be of the dull sort. The vast avaries are to contain as nearly as possible every manner of bird in the State. Short, terse lectures will be given at intervals in such language that a child may understand. To obtain these varied specimens the association has had two men in the field for some time. They are thoroughly equipped with leg irons, ropes and other apparatus necessdry to the work, and are trying more particularly to acquire large speci- mens' of water and shore: birds, such as herons, ' seagulls and the like. There are several colonies of rare birds within a hundred miles of San Francisco who live in undergrowth as dense as the wildest portion of Central Africa. Ofttimes hours of labor with pruning knives make but a few yards | of headway through this dense mass that has sheltered the bird family for half a century. Some of them are nesting at heights of over 100 feet, and the work of reaching the nests is perilous. In studying bird life it has been found necessary to make many photo- graphs of the birds and nests. The task has been very difficult, but en- thusiasts have accomplished ~won- ders along this line, as the accompany- ing pictures show. are of several of the most interesting live bird pictures ever made, but it has not been a foolish quest, as com- ing generations will learn to their great benefit. GOLFING EXPERTS SHOW ENTHUSISH Men Will Try for Amateur Championship and Women | Hold First Tournament Canlits L As the first handicap tournament to be held by the newly organized Cali- fornia Women Golfers’ Association is | to be held on the course of the San | Francisco Goif and Country Club on Wednesday, April 5, the competition for the Council's cup for women, the first round of which is set down on the schedule for that day, will begin on Tuesday, the 28th inst. = This is the third and last tournament to be held during the present season 4 | The former team won two sets out of for the trophy and will almost cer- tainly be the last in which the cup now being contested for will figure. As three ladies, Mrs. R. Gilman Brown, Mrs. J. R. Clark and Mrs. W. G. Miller, have each two victorles to their credit and a third will make the cup the win- ner’s property, it is hardly likely to survive to be fought for om another day. Two of the fair competitors have already announced their determination large number of players to both the park and the California Club courts. The game is more popular than ever before, as the crowded condition of the courts shows. The most important events to come are the indoor tournaments. The semi- finals and finals of both the singles and doubles will be held at the Mechanics' Pavilion under the auspices of the| to capture the trophy, and the third is, { Forest, Fish and Game Association.| no doubt, just as full of high resolve. The preliminary rounds are being| So a pretty battle may be expected. On April 26, 27, 28 and 29 the fifth an- nual competition for the amateur championship of the Pacific Coast Golf Association will be held on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club. Some changes and improvements are being made in the course to make it better suited to a championship event. The men’s amateur champlonship of the Pacific Coast Golf Association has been competed for four times, twice on | the Presidio course, in 1901 and 1803, and twioce on the course of the Los Angeles Country Club. In 1901 E. R." Folger was champion and John Law- 8on runmer-up; in 1902 Walter Fair- banks was champion and John Lawson runner-up; in 1903 C. E. Maud won, with H. C. Golcher as.runner-up; in 1904 A. B. Swift of Santa Barbara be- came champion, with Walter Fair- banks as runner-up. A ‘tie still remains to be played off between Mrs. R. G. Brown and Miss Edith Chesebrough to decide the own- ership of the pretty two-handled silver cup offered by the directors of the San Francisco Golf and Country Club as a | prize in an eighteen-hole handicap agalnst “bogey.” In the competition held last Tuesday Mrs. R.'G. Brown | and Miss Chesebrough tied In eighteen holes, and on playing nine holes more to decide the tie, tied again. —_——— Siminoff Sues Unions. M. Simonoff, proprietor of tailoring sheps on Market street,- brought suit yesterday against the San Francisco Labor Councfl and the Cloakmakers’ played on the park and California Club courts. The doubles are under way !'at the latter place and the singles on the public courts. The only match played in doubles was that between the Hotchkiss broth- ers and G. Lytton and Fred Adams. three. Many matches will be played in the tournament to-morrow. None of the best teams will meet in the open- ing round. Probably the best match will be be- tween Drs. Hill and McChesney and A. Brabant and S. C. Gayness. The| former should win easily. They should reach the finals with but little difficulty, as they: drew in the easy halfl. Their hardest match will be with Foley and Dunlap. The semi-final match in the lower half will be an uninterest- ing one and a poor exhibition. There is no team in the lower quarter that could possibly make a showing agaig::t Hill and McChesney. Two of e teams have not been made up as yet and the other two are hopelessly out- classed. Most of the crack teams drew in the upper half. In the top quarter are Griffin and Whitney and Schmidt and Rolfe. These teams are evenly matched and an interesting match will result when they come together.’ One of them is sure of a place in the semi-finals. The other semi-final place will prob- ably fall to the Baker brothers. They will first have to beat Long and Gard- ner and Long and Janes. They beat both of these teams recently and will probably do so agalin, although Long 5 i and Janes are not without a chance. |Union, Local No. 8, for $500.

CRICKETERS PLAN A LIVELY SEASON Probable That Five Clubs Will Engage in Contest for 1905 Championship ool At the annual meeting of the San Francisco County Cricket Club the following officers were elected for the coming twelve months: Walter S. McGavin, president; T. J. A. Tiede- mann and E. G. Sloman, vice presi- dents; H. C. Boulton, secretary-treas- urer; Harold B. Richardson, captain; E. M. Peterson, vice captain; Taliesin Ev H. C. Ramsay and E. J. Strat- ton, committee: T. J. A. Tiedemann, ground committee; FHenry Roberts and Henry Dixon, delegates to the California Cricket Association. The club has received some new mem- bers, who are expected to add to the strength of its team. At the annual meeting of the Cali- fornia Cricket Association the elec- tion of Henry Ward, a vice president, to the office of president in the stead of the late Edward Brown, and the omission of the name of Herbert V. Keeling reduced the number of vice presidents by two. H. V. Keeling was chosen a vice president in 1899 as a represen- tative of the Lakeport Cricket Club of Lake County, but the club has not had any cricket team for the past two or three years and last year was not even a nominal member of the as- sociation. T. W. Beakbane was re- tained as a vice president because of his constant efforts on behalf of eric- ket in Lake County, though the Burns Valley Club did not play any games last season from lack of opponents and will probably retire from the as- | soclation this year. The question how to secure punc- tuality in beginning matches was dis- cussed, several speakers wishing to in- crease the powers of the umpire of the visiting clubs so as to emable him to penalize an eleven that arrives late on the ground. One delegate sug- gested a fine of $2 50 to be paid into the treasury of the association. After much talk it was decided ‘that the rules of the assoclation, If enforced, should prove sufficient. The secretary of the association, in response to a request from the Amer- ican Cricketer of Philadelphia, was appointed “statistician” to report the standing of the clubs from time to time to that publication. The secre- tary of each club was directed to furnish an account of each cham- pionship match, accurately, and writ- | ten out on a proper blank to be sup- plied for the purpose, to the secretary of the association, to be forwarded to the American Cricketer. Henry Ward and Arthur Inkersley, a committee appointed to draw up resolutions on the death of the late Edward Brown presented the follow- ing, which were ordered to be spread on the minutes of the assocfation and forwarded to the members of the family and to the press: Resolutions on the death of Bdward Brow: president of the California Cricket Association: , Whereas, the late Fdward Brown was for eight yeary president of the California Gricket. Astoc on and st all times worked n nterests rmon: prom #v0d fellowship among the mecabie Too s various clubs, an impartial mind and matured experience gulding all his acts. Now therefore we, representing the cricket- ers_of California. resolve that fin the death of Edward Brown the association loses a most valued officer: and we respectfur the members of his family our deep sympathy with them In this inexpressible sorrow. HENRY WARD, ARTHUR INKERSLDY. e —— P —— MAYOR PROPOSES TO SUE BAEHR AND HIS BONDSMEN ‘Will Appeal to Courts to Compel Aud- itor to Reimburse City for Grand Jury Expenses. Mayor Schmitz declared yesterday that' he will cause suit to be brought against Auditor Baehr and his bonds- men to compel the return of the meneys paid out on audited demands for Grand Jury expenses in excess of the legal allowance. The Mayor said that he is fully de- termined to have the city reimbursed for what he considers were illegal payments and believes that the mat- ter will be more effectively settled by the court than by the suspension of Baehr, which would not be ratified by the Board of Supervisors. The Mayor is also considering the advisability of bringing Injunction proceedings to restrain Baehr from auditing any more demands for Grand Jury expenses pending a judi- cial determination of the points in- volved. —_————— ‘We don’t see why a man convert s a greater trophy for an evangelist than a girl convert.
