Harry McMurcny, the widely known trap shot, is one of the central figures in a recent case. He was on terms of Intimate friendship for years with Will ‘Park, the editor of Sporting Life Mr. Park died recently dnd when his will was read it was found he had be- queathed his favorite shotgun to his old friend. As kis widow fs a thorough sportswoman and has succeeded Mr. Park in his capacity as editor, Mr. McMurchy has thoughtfully deeded back to her the shotgun, which she will, no doubt, treas- ure highly. The Union Gun Club will hold its regu- lar monthly shoot at bluerocks tomor- row at Ingleside. The traps will be put in action at 10 a. m. The officers for this vear are: President, Dr. W. A. Hansen; vice president, D. Daniels; secretary- treasurer, T. L. Lewls, and captain Dr. Bdward Pitres. The club will add $20 in each class at each shoot this season. The money will be divided by the Rose system, 5-3-2. There will be four classes—champion, first, second and third. There will be | four medals for the season for the most wins each month. Five dollars will go to the next best after the medal distribution. The Pacific Coast Trapshooters’ Asso- clation will meet this year at Vallejo on May 2 and 27. The club events of the Empire Gun Club were not held as scheduled last Sunday owing to the unfavorable condi- tions. The members present took part in a number of impromptu matches. Among the new mén who will shoot with the Golden Gate Gun Club this' year are James Hull of Colorado Springs, J. A. Reading, Twenty-second Infantry; E, Tano, W, T, Schnelder, Walter H. Lynch, J. A. Masterson and T. Prior. The Millwood Gun Club is having dif- fleulty in securing suitable grounds for the season. The matter will be settled shortly. —_————————— Game Law Violators Forfeit Bonds.'

S\\y 1% 0p \\ "‘» Loy Rero’ MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BASEBALL ARE SHOWING GOOD FORM IN THE GAMES PRELIMINARY TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES WITH THE CARDINAL NINE OF STANFORD. | — SQUAD WHO Coach McCarthy Has a Trio of Clever Pitchers in Newman, Rheinhardt and West. BERKELEY, March 16.—The Uni- versity of California baseball team is keeping in trim as well as possible in this inclement weather. The players have had some useful practice games, and a few clear days would work won- ders in the squad in the hands of Coach McCarthy. He keeps his trinity of pitchers, Newman, Reinhardt and West, all in practice, and no man of the threo is able to say he is to be the star when it comes to the big games with Stanford. Newman is the veteran, bat Reinhardt Jooks like a comer. He may be given the brunt of the work, while West s clever and stands a chance to win kis big “C” on the dia- mond. . The interclass field day, for cham- plonship honors, is to be held on the lierkeley oval tomorrow afternoon. Sunshine and wind have dried the cin- der path and fleld, and by tomorrow the ground will be in perfect shape for the sport. The varsity athletes will compete for such honors as go to the Yvictors, and also for silver medals, a trophy to be provided for the first- place man in each event. The medal idea is an innovation, For the first time in years the fresh- man class promises to give the senlors a hard rub for first place when points are counted. The '09 class showed np in such splendid shape at the sopho- more-freshman meet a week ago—de- feating the 08 men so handily—that they are regarded as the most formid- able competitors for the glory of beat- ing the senior class tomorrow. The seniors, of course, have a number of yarsity men on their team. Stanton in the dashes and Channing Hall in the high jump will swell the averages of the freshinen, while others in the '09 class will show up well. The mile, two- mile and half-mile races are expected 1o be close events, In order to swall the number of contestants, the entries for each race will be made on the field instead of over night, as was formerly the custom. i W. W. Gilmore will act as captain of the senior team, Nortan Wligox for the juniors, B, F. Smith for the sopho: mores und Channing Hall for the {resh- men. The officials of the meet will be as follows: Referee, Fred F. i<och; Judges at finish—Professor Mageo, Bob Roos, Al Plaw and Koy Filoher; timers —Walter Christie, Colonel Edwards and Mr. Rhodes; measurers—Emil Kruschke, Ed Hussey, Roy Woolsey and Monte Cooley; inspectors—Harry Encell, Al Coogan, Bob Foster and Ed Stow; clerk of the course, Bill Potts; announcer, De Leon; starter, Powell. The freshmanbasket-ball team fs to play the team from the University of the Pacific’ tomorrow afternoon. The game will be played in the gymnasium at College Park, near San Jose. The freshman team is made up of Martin and Cortelyou, forwards; Bailey, center, and Hirsch, Syweet and Steele, guards. R. D. Baker will act as umpire for the freshmen, A T CARDINAL HAS SMALL TEAM. Standford F¥reshmen Are Classy, but Are Outnumbered by Cali- fornin. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 16. With the approach of the first annual intercollegiate freshman fleld meet be- tween Stanford and California all at- tention 18 centered on the first-year performers on the cinder path. If num- bers count for anything it would seem California had everything its own way. The number of men eligible to compete for the blue and gold is more than twice as large as the cardinal adher- ents. Trainer Dad Moulton, however, is not worried over the outcome, but admits it will be extremely-close. It may be won by a margin of a point or a fraction thereof. J. R. Holman, who captained the freshman football team, will be the first choice from here in the hundred-yard dash. He is covering the distance at present in 102-5 see- onds. This will probably not be good for a first place, as the speedy Stanton of California is credited with 10 1-5. ‘W. M. Rawles of Ukiah is running the 220-yard dash close to twenty-three flat, with Holman a close second. In the quarter mile Rawles is again the best performer, with Hussey of Har- vard School close up. Stanford will be weak in the mlie and a half, but will have Ferguson, who has done consider- able running in England, in the two- mile race. In the broad jump and weights the cardinal men will look for first places. Owen of Pasadena s throwing the six- teen-pound hammer in varsity style. Kirk Ford of Ukiah is the strongest of either the varsity or the freshmen in the shotput. Rawles and Stolz are likely candidates in the broad jump. A distance of twenty feet is well with- in their powers. Stanford will be strong in hurdlers as usual. Peaslee, from Oakland High School, is going over the sticks in the 120-yard event and Swickard in the 220-yard race. Baseball is at a standstill, as is ten- nis. The Stanford nine has had some fine practice games and is showing ex- cellent form. —————————— 0K ACCUSED QF PECULATING.—Jams M ook o the Cute Flesta, Powel and Market streets, was arrested yesterda: afterncon by Detectives Bunner, Freel m‘ Coleman.

The Alameda County championship tournaments, which were commenced on February 22, have not been completed. One clear Sunday will be sufficient to complete both events. The Califyrnia Club players have been awaiting e completion of the park tournament before starting the first- class tournament. 1 the weather is favorable tomorrow the first championship events of the year will undoubtedly be finished. The finals of the singles tournament will be played in the morning and the chal- lenge match in the afternoon. The former will bring together Charles Fo- An ley and Carl Gardner. The afternoen maich will be between Champion George Baker and either Foley or Gardner. Those who follow tennis closely at the park are of the opinion that Foley will carry off the honors without much trouble. Gardner and Baker at their best would prove hard men for Foley to beat, but as neither is probably in the best of shape the popular little champion Is expected to win. Four teams remain in the doubles tournament. Fred Adams and Charles Dunlap vs. R. N. Whitney and G. P. Lytton and Melville Long and Carl Gardner vs. Herbert Long and Neil Ba- ker will be the semi-final matches. If Gardner is successful in his matches it will not be possible to finish both tour- naments in one day. The final match will be played in the afternoon, and, like the finals of the singles, consists of three sets out of five. The class singles tournament, which was also commenced early last month, will be completed tomorrow if possibl Fred Adams and George Janes will meet in the morning in the semi-finals of the first class. This match is impor- tant, as it Is the first time the two have met since Janes beat his opponent for the coast championship last year. Janes made a good showing against Clarence Griffin in the Alameda County championship tournament, and for this reason a close and interesting match Is expected when he meets Adams. The first class players of the Cali- fornia Club will probably not com- mence their tournament until next Sunday. Three of the members of this class are in the park tournaments. As the clubs are anxious to avoid conflicts the event.has again been pogtponed a week. The other three classes, however, will be played today. The second class was started two weeks ago and has been almost finished. Albert Kenyon is in the finals in the lower half. In the upper half Paul Jones will meet the winner of the Moulten Warner-¥V G. Knowlton match in the semi-finals. It is expected Warner and Kenyon will come together in the finals, although Jones Is conceded a chance to win. The third and fourth classes will bring together many new players. The third class i the smallest of the four, many of its members having gone up into the second class. The fourth class as usual is by far the largest, and the players are more evenly matched than those of any other class. The next championship event will be the annual singles tournament for the champlonship of San Francisco. It will be held at the California Club on the 80th of May. Carl Gardner is the pres- ent champion. This event, like all the others this year, will bring together the players now competing in the Alameda County championship event. The annual meeting of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association, which should have been held last October, has yet to be called. New officers should be elected - Immediately, as the big championship events are not far off and there is much to be done in the meantime. A committee should be ap- pointed at once to arrange for bringing some of the Eastern champions to the coast to compete in the September events. S —— FORMER MESSENGER BOY CHARGED WITH ROBBERY Richard Scheuts Sald to Have Enticed Dantel Ramos to Park and Beaten Him. Richard Scheutz, an ex-messenger boy, was booked at the City Prison yes- terday by Policemen Cullinane and P. L. Smith on a warrant from Police Judge Shortall's court charging him with robbery. The complaining wit- ness is Daniel Ramos, 320 Turk street. According to the story of the complainant, Ramos met Scheurtz about 7 o'clock on the morn- ing of February 21 and was in- duced to go out to Golden Gate Park. ‘While they were sitting on a bench in the park two young men approached them and attacked Ramos, knocking him down and beating him into un- oconsciousnes: They took $45 in gold from Ramos’ pockets. Scheutz is al- leged to have been in league with the assailants. Ramos notifled the police, but no trace of the robbers was found till Thursday afternoon, when Ramos saw Scheutz on Eddy street and at once in- formed Policemen Cullinane and Smith. They placed Scheuts under arrest and yesterday morning Ramos swore to a complaint before Judge Shortall charg- ing Scheutz with robbery. The police are now searching for the other two youths. —_————— BLAMES OWNERS FOR COLLAPSE OF BUILDING Inspector Reports Undue Hast, Used in Construction of Six. teenth-Street Theater. Bullding Inspector J. H. Jordan has filed with City Architect Shea a report on the collapsed theater bullding under construction at Bixteenth and Capp streets, in which he throws the blame for the collapse on the owners of the building. The report says: I'Jast visited the structure on February 17, at which time I found the brick walls all car- ried up, the interior gallery being buflt, the curtain wall full height and steel construction of the roof in place. no violations of the ordinances nor any evidence of such Inten- tion at_that time. On_ Wednesday T inspected the ruins and found that the heavy concrete roof and frames had become S0 rain soaked that the combined telght caused the new brick sidewalls to bulge outward and fall. This could have been avold- ed if the sald walls had bhad time to set and harden. I therefore consider the owners ut fauit in using undue haste, especially during this stormy season of the year. Was Park Tournaments | BECOME ACTIVE Meeting to Fix Programme to Be Held at San Fran- cisco Clubhouse Sunday ACTIVE NEW CLUB IS Golden Gate Yachtsmen to Gather in the Town Hall at Sausalito Next Week IS o+ SRS The charter of the Golden Gate Yacht Club will be closed on April 15. The stormy weather that has prevatled du ing the last week has prevented the contractors from taking their pile-driv- ing plant over to the Sausalito water front. The work will begin as soon as the water becomes smooth. The club has adopted a uniform, consisting of a double-breasted blue serge coat with white trousers of flannel or duck. The design for the cap has not yet been settled, but it will probably be similar to the cap worn by members of the other bay yacht clubs, the flag of the Golden Gate Yacht Club being embroid- ered in colors In front. The two committees that are deing the most thinking and the hardest work just now are the ways and means and the building committees. The annual subscription to the Golden Gate Yacht Club has been fixed at $12. to be paid in one sum at the opening of the sea- son. The club treasury now has about $1600 in it, so that, allowing $500 for the wharf, $1100 wiil be left for the boathouse and other purposes. The building committee has several men of practical experience upon it. It consists of Commodore C. F. Myers, chairman; A. C. Lee, A. F. Rousseau, Port Captain Frank Malino, J. C. Lowse, the owner of the yawl Arcturus, and L. Wallerstein. The committee will meet next Monday night in the office of Charles M. Rousseau & Son, architects, The clubhouse will be designed and con- structed in such a manner that addl- tions can be made readily as the club increases in numbers and acquires more property. In order to keep up the enthusiasm and enable the members who live in San Francisco to become acquainted with their brother members whe reside in Sausalito another gemeral meeting will be held on Sunday, the 25th inst, in the Town Hall of Sausalito. The yacht owners will soon be busily en- gaged in putting their craft into com- mission. At the last general meeting power was given to the directors to.in- corporate the club. The bylaws set the second Tuesday in March as the date of the annual meeting of the members. Accordingly, on that day the members met and confirmed the election of all the officers heretofore chosen. Now is the season when the owners of the various clubs hold ings at which schedules of cruises, races and clambakes for the coming six months are prepared. The yacht- owners of the Corinthian Club have al- ready held their meeting and prepared their programme for the season. The most notable events will be the annual regatta on Decoration day, the anmual handicap race for the Elks’ cup on Sun- day, July 15, and the three days’ eruise to the quarters of the South Bay Yacht Club at Alviso. In 1904 the Corinthians paid a most agreeable visit to Alvise, but last year they had to forego the pleasure of repeating it, as the tide did not suit on any of the public holl- days. The Pacific Interclub Yacht Associa- tion will soon have a new member— the Sequoia Yacht Club of Eureka, which already has fourteen boats in its fleet, with others to be built. . Its ctub- house is a handsome and commodious structure that cost more than $8000. So far as can be seen at present the starters in the proposed yaecht race from San Francisco to Honolulu will be the schoomer Lurline, formerly owned by John D. Spreckels, but now the property of H. H. Sinclalr of Pasa- dena; the schooner Aggle, owned by James V. Coleman, and Fulton G. Ber- ry’s sloop Nixie. It is expected that Alexander Swanson of the pilot-boat Lady Mine will sail the Aggie. which has had many contests with the Lur- line, in most of which Swanson was on board the Lurline. The Aggie was built for Joseph Macdonough, father of Joseph M. Macdonough. who for two successive periods of five years has given $250 each year to provide trophies for the regatta of the Pacific Interclub Yacht Association. The Aggie and Lur- line, being schooners, are well suited for open ocean sailing, but the Nixie will need to have her spars shortemed and her canvas reduced. She will prob- ably be rigged as a yawl Hermang Gingg, who was elected hon- orary sectetary of the San Francisco Yacht Club at its annual meeting, has been compelled by stress of other work to give up the office. W. W. Wilde, who has Deen secretary for some years, will continue to perform the duties which he has hitherto accomplished so efficiently. A meeting of yacht-owners of the San Francisco Yacht Club will be held to-morrow morning in the clubhouse at Sausalito for the purpose of preparing a schedule of cruises and other events for the season. —————— PLOT TO STEAL FROM FIRM DETECTED AND ARRESTS MADE Salesman for A. Zellerbach & Sons and Two Retail Dealers Are in City Prison. A plot to rob A. Zellerbach & Sons, paper manufacturers, 416 Sansome street, was brought to an end yester- day afternoon by the arrest of Walter E. Krill, 127 William ' street, and Ful- ton Puccinelll and R. Olivi, who have a retail paper store at 704 Sansome street. A charge of grand larceny - will be booked against them. The arrests wera made by Detectives T. B. Gibson and Bailey. Krill was employed by Zellerbach & Sons and when either Puccinelli or Olivi would call with & wagon for an order Krill would put some extra rolls of paper in the wagon and the trio would divide the proceeds. The thiev- ing began last January and since that time about” $800 worth of paper has been stolen. which was sold by Oltwt or Puccinelll to butchers, grocers ana other rekeepers. The detectives recovered about $100 worth of the stolen paper from the Store at 704 Sansome street and took it to the Hall of Justice. The other $700 worth has been sold. Krill and Olivi admitted their guilt.
