For many years the Cali- | fornia Club courts have been the bat- tle-ground, but the courts recently laid | out at Berkeley make it possible to hold { the matches there. In the last four years California has | been victorious and her rival has not | scored a single point. Beginning with | 1801 California has won each year by |a score of 3-0. California’s sweeping | victory during this period was largely | due to Coast Champion J. D. MacGa- vin. Even without MacGavin the | chances for a blue and gold victory | look much brighter than for a cardinal | victory. > { Stanford practically concedes one | singles match to Berkeley. This is the match between the No. 2 men, R. Mc- Swain (Stanford) and Neil Baker (Cali- fornia). Man of the Stanford enthusi- asts figure that George Hodge, their | No. 1 player, made a showing against | MacGavin last year which warrants | his beating Claude Wayne, California’s |No. 1 man. These two clever young players are everly matched and it | would be a difficult matter to pick the | winner. On recent form Wayne looks a trifle stronger than Hodge. 1 A victory for Hodge would make the outcome of the meet hinge on the dou- bles. This also should prove a close and an exciting match. Stanford will | be represented by John Cassell and | Hodge, while the California representa- | tives will be Robert Variel and Wayne. The latter are both from Southern Cal- | ifornia and have been playing together for several years. Cassell was former- ly champion of Lowell High School and |is a promising young piayer at the | California Club. Cassell and Wayne B-|are both steady players, while Hodge | and Variel belong to the erratic class. | Both of the latter are capable of play- | ing brilliant tennis at times. The second singles match will be be- tween a veteran and a novice. Neil Baker played in the California team last year and is as steady as a clock. He has had considerable experience. On the other hand McSwain, the cardi- nal representative, is a new man who has had little or no experience. He is a clever young player, but is hardly | conceded a chance to beat Baker. | Conceding this match to California | and an even chance to Stanford in the other two contests another California victory is anticipated. The blue and gold followers expect to win all three points and thus establish a record that would stand for many years. Stanford undoubtedly has a fighting chance and her representatives will make a desper- ate effort to win the meet. The “finals of the handicap doubles . tournament commenced on the Golden | Gate Park courts two weeks ago will be played to-morrow afternoon. The Baker brothers (owe 153-6) will meet Fred Adams and Guy Lytton (scratch). The match wilh be unusually interest- ing, as a victory for the Baker broth- ers would give them permanent posses- | slon of the cups which have been up { for more than three years. A class singles -tournament will be played on the California Club courts to-morrow. The players will meet un- der the new classification for cups re- cently offered by the directors. Two tournaments will be played by | the members of the Ladies’ Annex next { week. A handicap singles tournament for the Miller cup is scheduled for | Tuesday. Miss Cully and Miss Hess have each won the trophy twice and it is expected one or the other will get the third and final victory on Tues- day. On Wednesday a handicap dou- bles tournament for the Olds cup will be held. —_—— Ebony Is Second to 3 | NEW ORLEANS, April 14.—City Park rac- lnf"l "t“nce five and a half furlongs--B rst race, Jon, won.a.Y;cob second, Ever Near third, ’i.‘IH'I.HT 1:09 3- : four furlongs—Fortunate wi Flimnap , Inspector Girl third. = Time. 49 1-5, Third race, one mile and seventy yaras— .

Northern Crew Is Made Up of Sea- soned Oarsmen. BERKELEY, April 14.—The boat race between the University of Wash- ington and the University of*Califor- nia crews will be held to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock on the Oakland estuary. The California crew be- lieves it has a genuinely hard propo- sition on its hands to-.defeat the northerners. If the brawny Washing- tonians are beaten Coach Garnett and | {his young men will be entitled to a |great deal of praise. It is the first time in the history of the sport that a regular coach has had charge of rowing affairs here and the result of | his work will be watched with deep | interest by all who hope rowing will | take a prominent place among col- lege athletics. Garnett's men are all in fine condition, have practiced faith- | fully and will give a good account of | themselves, win or lose. ! The confidence that comes from a | long line of victories buoys up the track team of the Unliversity of Call- fornia on the eve of the annual strug- | gle with Stanford for track and field honors. *Nine times has the blue and gold waved over the cardinal on field | days to twice for Stanford's, hence the well founded belief in victory to- morrow. The experts who prepare | ‘‘dope” on such affairs announce that on paper it is about an even thing, with California having just a shade | the best prospect because its athletes were selected from a larger and so perhaps slightly superior field. Ollie Snedigar, sprinter and foot- ball hero, will carry the hopes of the blue and gold in the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard run. Snedigar is fast and should be first in both these events. Wilcox will be relled upon to beat Miller, Russell and Davis of Stanford. Miller is likely to be the stumbling block here to California’s hopes. He is the freshman who captured the quarter at Pomona after winning the mile and the 880-yard dash. Ed- wards and Yost of California will go against Miller in the 880-yard dash and if they beat the cardinal they will know a race has been in progress. Captain Hackley should score against Stanford in the two-mile event, and Snedigar and Neighbors are expected to duplicate the trick in the broad jump. Hickey will have to beat Cap- tain Bell of Stanford in the high jump. Stanford is supposed to have the best of it in the hurdles and the pole- vault. Gilmore is California’s reli- ance in the shot-put, his record of more than 42 feet being a reassuring circumstance to hopeful California men. . Sperry, too, is expected to make good in this event. The latter has the responsibility on him for defeating Stanford in the hammer throw, where he will be hard pressed to beat Wel- ler and Crawford. The relay race is an open affair. gy STANFORD MEN ARE READY. \ Are Confident of Winning the Big Field Day Champlonship. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 14. The athletes who are to support the colors of the cardinal in the intercol- legiate track meet with the University of California to-morrow afternoon are all ready for the fray. Trainer “Dad” Moulton, who knows all of the tricks of the training trade, has succeeded in rounding the Stanford team into superb shape. “Every man,” he said to-night, “is in trim to run the race of his life. Unless there are some star- tling surprises on the Berkeley side or some sudden reversal of form among our men, and I do not anticipate either, 1 don’t see how we can be prevented from winning the meet. We are strong- er than ever because we have an even- 1y rounded team, although we have lost scme of the stars of past years. The rkeley track will bother us ttle, bit I do not think the final outcome of the meet will be affected by it.” It does seem the Berkeley cinder path is the only thing that can possibly defeat the cardinal team this year. The track at Stanford, where the men have spent the last six months/industrious- Iy practieing, is a quarter mile affair, with the turns only slightly raised. The blue and gold track, on the other | hand, is a short oval with high banks on the turns. So troublesome are these elevated curves to the tiated sprinter that he must either his.speed or run off into X is even a OARSMEN PLAN CO0D RECATT Races in Barge, Skiff and| Shell Comprised in Dee-| . | oration Day Programme! A meeting of the Pacific Association of Amateur Oarsmen was held on Tues- day night, there being a good nttend-! ance of representatives of the vaflou!‘ rowing clubs. The new letterheads of | the organiaztion were shown and were | highly approved. They bear the names | of W. F. Harris, president; James Wil- | son, vice president; W. C. Donnelly, | treasurer, and F. V. Ferrers Baker, sec- | retary. Tickets for the theater party | to be held on May 2 at the Majestic | Theater for the benefit of the association were distributed to representatives of the various rowing clubs. Boxes have ! 1 been taken by the clubs and the seats | for the Klamath River. |on the ground floor of the house are | ceived from there are to the effect that | nearly sold out. The first event to be held under the management of the new.organization will take place at Vallejo on Decora- tion day. The programme was arranged at a meeting held at the Vallejo Yacht- ing and Rowing Club house last Sun- day. Vice Commodore Brown presided and F. V. F. Baker was present as a | representative of the P. A. A. O. The programme includes senior, interme- diate and junior barge races, a four- oared shell race, senior and junior out- rigged skiff ‘races, senior and junior single shell races and a naval cutter race, in which crews from the Russian crulser Lena and other men-of-war at Mare Island will take part. There will be a relay race between teams of six men, a cigar and umbrella race, a duck hunt, a ragk in yacht tenders, swim- ming races’ and walking the greasy boom. The Vallejo Yachting and Boat- ing Club will be represented by two crews in the four-oared shell race. The senior barge crew of the Dolphin Boat- ing Club will be made up of Gus Ber- trand, bow; A. J. McKerron, No. 2; T. Harris, No. 3, and W. Harris, stroke. The foregoing have already begum to train for the event. The junior barge crew consists of T. O’'Brien, bow; L. C. Richmond, No. 2; William Remens- perger, No. 3, and H. McKevitt, stroke. Gerald Kenniff will be cockswain of both crews. F. J. Sherry is training for the senior outrigged skiff race and Steve Vicini for the junior skiff event. It was expected that Oscar Mohr would represent the Dolphin Club in the out- rigged skiff as well as Steve Vicini, but he has gone to Fresno on business and will remain there for the next six months, so that the Dolphins will lose his services during the coming season. —_——— Gaelic Football To-Morrow. The first great game for the Gaelic football championship of California will take place to-morrow afternoon, commencing promptly at 8 o’clock on the Presidio athletic grounds. The contesting teams will be the celebrat- ed Parnells and the famous Emeralds. The Parnells, winners of last season’s championship, are determined not to lost their honors. The Emeralds have been entirely reorganized under the leadership of their skipper, J. J. Bar- ry. The manner in which Captain Barry handled his team was striking- ly shown in their previous contest. T. J. Mellott has been appointed referee of the game. B ——— vantage this year because they have trained the season through on their home track, and their sprinters and hurdlers speed along the turns as easi- ly ‘as though they were running along the smoothest straightaway. In or- der that the men should labor under as slight a disadvantage as possible the Stanford manager has taken the team to Berkeley at different times during the season, so that they are fairly well acquainted with the track there. Stanford expects to get a place in the hundred with either Woods or Ed- wards, both of whom have done the sprint in ten and one-fifth seconds, Woods will make the mighty Snedigar hurry in the two hundred and twenty yard event. Both men are running in twenty-three seconds. Freshman Mil- ler is entered to annex the quarter, half mile runs for the cardinal team. Such a feat has never been accom- plished before in the history of coast thletics. Moulton is confident that his ;otm is equal to the task. The two- mile is conceded to California with _Stanford leeond.‘h'rhe cardinal counts on- pole vault and the hammer throw, The broad jump is a toss up, gar and We the 1 | afford good sport from now on.

TROUT STRIKE AT THE FLIES Streams Are Clearing Un- der the Prevailing Favor- able Weather Conditions| S l With the continued clear weather the trout streams within easy reach of this city are clearing steadily, and the men | who scorn to use bait are taking good | baskets of fish on the more sportsman- like fly. The best results have been ob- | tained with the brown wing, royal| coachman, black gnat and the gray and | brown hackle.

Mr. Cummings has always | been successful there, especially on[ Shovel Creek, which yields thousands | of rainbow trout to sportsmen each year. This is one of the most prolific streams in the State. The trip (rom] this city requires one day’s travel on train and stage. i The Truckee is still high, although | some fish are being taken on salmon roe. The fish are reported to average | smaller ithan those of last year. The; upper Sacramento and the McCloud are | reported in the same condition as the | Truckee. They will remain high for some time. Austin Creek, near Cazadero, should large fish went up there to spawn last winter. Doc Watt, James Lynch and several friends leave to-night for the Sur, near Santa Cruz, where they expect some good sport. Los Gatos Creek is said to be yield- ing good returns now, but the sport will not last long, as this is an early stream. The members of the San Francisco Flycasting Club, the most famous or- ganization of its kind in the world, will entertain Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the famous Princeton schoiar, at dinner on ‘Wednesday evening at the California Hotel. Charles S. Wheeler is at the head of the committee having the af- fair in charge. This means a flow af wit and a feast of reason, which will be worth while. The name of that other sage of Princeton, Grover Cleveland, an honorary member of the club, wijl evoke enthusiasm which will astonish the honored guest of the evening. Willlam Halstead went to Tocaloma, on the Paper Mill, early in the week and secured a limit basket. His prize fish was a three-pound steelhead. Among the regulars on the stream last Sunday who caught from twenty to fifty good-sized trout were: Jabez Swan, Charles Breidenstein, James Lynch, Bert Spring. William J.

ZIGNEGO Stockton Greyhound Seems Likely to Succeed Palo Alto as the Champion Coursing enthusiasts have been say- time that the sport would boom again If some sensational performer developed. Dr. F. P. Clark’s greyhound Mr. Zignego, a 3-year-old black and white son of imported Fet- ter Free, seems destined to step into the breach and to be hailed as a second Palo Alto. He has won two stakes in succes- sion and will start to-morrow at Union Park in an effort to make it three straight, thus equaling the world's rec- ord of Royal Flush. Should he succeed in doing so he will then go on for high- er honors. He is drawn in a good po- sition on the card and figures, with ordinary coursing luck, to be among the last four contenders. Stockton will be represented by a new performer named Blue Craig. This dog won the last stake decided at Stockton in rather easy style. Many Stockton leashmen figure that Blue Craig is even faster than Mr. Zignego. Should this prove so the slough city will take the place held for some years | past by Sacramento as the home of the State's fleetest greyhounds. Of the dogs In to-morrow’s stake the last seven look to be Mr. Zignego, Quita, L L. C, Frisky Barbara, Agile Spurt, The Referee and Panoche. Reck- less Acrobat, owing to his position on the card of the unfinished stake, seems the choice for final honors. The likely winners look to be: Unfinished stake of last week—Roeker Arm, Lucy Clair, Reckless Acrobat. Glaucus, Aglle Spurt, Chain, Yellowstone, Concord The Referce, Orsina, Miss Domestic, Panoche, Tillie R and Presto. There has been a change made in the schedule of the train service to and from Union Park. One train will leave for the park at 10:30 a. m., stop- ping at Valencia street. A train will leave the park at 6:05 p. m., coming through without a stop. President J. M. Crennan of the Chi- cago Coursing Club has applied to the American Coursing Board for permis- Futurity and also the American Waterloo. The club will abandon its park at Mount Green- wood and will hereafter use the grounds of the West Chicago Driving Association. Meetings will be held each Saturday and Sunday during the season. The hares will be procured ansas. There will be no assoctation footbail match to-morfow.
