Telbot for a “modification of the orger placing his chiidren in the cus- tody of their mother, Mrs. Annie D. Talbot, will be heard by Judge Muras- ky this morning. Talbot is anxious to get control of the children, but his wife, who ix suing him for permanent separate maintenamce, i determined that she will keep the youngsters, as- serting that they are now all she has left to bring her comfort in this world. As a result the fight promises to be a bitter one. Judge Murasky yesterday signed the order directing Talbot to pey his wife $800 2 month alimony and her attorney, Samuel <M.

With this end in view, some of their strongest men will soc be withdrawn from the °Saturday matches. —_——————— Dr. Sherrod’s Case Continued. The Lunacy Commissioners held a pre- liminary examination of Dr. i. L. Sherrod, the madman who created such a wild scene at his residence, 651 Post street, on last Thursday night, when he fired five pistol shots into the door of his apartments for the purpose of scaring his wife, then threatening to Kill her or any other person who,_tried to enter. A more complete examination will be made tomorrow. In the meantime he is in a straitjacket in a cell of the De- tention Hospital. Yesterday, when he had regained some poise, he denied having-contem- plated murder. - He admitted that he was in an ugly mood; .had had no.din- ner, and had been drinking. As to the’| shooting he said that he was merely trying an old pistol to see if it was in good working .order. He was visited by his wife during the day and while/in the cell she un- dertook - to remove the straitjacket. Her intentions were frustrated by Steward Manville, who promptiy ejected her. | DOLPHINS READY FOR LOKG BACE Big Six-Oared Barge Event Against Ariel Crew to Be Decided April 1| IR T The Dolphin and the Ariel boat club crews are preparing for the six-oared barge race around. Angel Island. This will take place on Sunday, April 1. The start will be from the Dolphin Boat Club house at the foot of Hyde street to the west side of Alcatraz Island, thence to Fort McDowell, on the west side of Angel Island, through Racoon Straits to Point Blunt and thence to the finish opposite the Dolphin boathouse. It is_expected the race, which will be on slack water, will occupy from one and a half to two hours.” It was thought three crews would take part in the contest, but the Alameda crew had to retire on ac- count of its big barge not being in good condition. The Ariel crew has been out for the past two or three Sundays for practice. It will be stroked by Charles Wilson, who will be supported by a crew picked from the following: E. L. Smith, James O'Connell, Frank .Loth, James Wilson, Henry Kahlenback, Edward Mur- phy and E. J. Lynch. The Dolphin crew will be made up as- foliows: Steve Vicind, bow; J. G. Thur- man, No. 2; O’Brien, No. 3; W, Har- ris, No. 4; T Harris, No. 5; C. M. Far- rell, stroke; J. J. Cronin, cockswain, Much interest is being taken along the water front in the race. The Arlel Club has chartered two launches to convey its members to view the race and the launches Hello and Dolphin will be at the disposal of the members of the Dolphin Club, The Alameda Boat Club has decided to get a four-oared shell, which it will use in racing against crews of the Unilversity of California. The South End Rowing Club’s quar- ters are finished and are exceedingly commodious -ang convenient. Schreiber Has Disappeared. Dr. Z Lavin, 696 Sutter street, ob- tained a warrant from Police Judge | Mogan yesterday for the arrest of Paul | Herman Schreiber on a charge of ob- taining money by false etenses. Schreiber had a printing establishment at 839 Mission street and on his rep- resentations that it was unincumbered, that there was $900 owing him ‘and that he owned two lots in Alameda County he obtained $200 from Dr. Lavin. Dr. Lavin alleges that the plant is miort- gaged to the limit and Schreiber cwns no lots in Alameda County. Schreiber has’gone to Los Angeles. > —_———————— To Appoint Superintendent _Drlekllrel- The Board of Works yesterday noti- fled the Bricklayers' Union that itfa- vors the petition of the union that a Fielders Show Great Precision in All Their Work. PRt LA T T STANFORD UNIVERSITY,March 23.— The baseball’ men are in better con- dition this year than a cardinal team has ever been before at the present stage in the season. - The weéak point of former cardinal teams has been the inability to hit the .ball. This year the men. with but few exceptions are meeting every pitcher, poor or expert, who dares face the varsity. The tri- umphant manner in which Stanford de- feated the crack tossers of Santa Clara College was a revelation as to the cardinul slugging capacity. Field- ing. is good in all positions, and particularly the outfield. Owen, Chalmers and Dudley are cov- ering the grassy area in profes- sional style. On first Presley is doing well, picking high or low throws with comparative sase and unfailing accu- racy. Bell on second, Fenton on third and Sampson at shortstop, with Sales and Stott comprise the battery and in- field, Base running has been drummed into the men, the famous hit and run game being thoroughly worked out. All the collegians who have for two years staked their intercollegiate chances in football on James Lanagan look for- ward for their coach to break the long string of cardinal defeats. Freshman track candidates excite as much Interest as the twirlers at pres- ent, as it is put a week before they perform in the initial' meet. Cardinal chances are ‘not considered bright, as distance men are lacking. All those who are good for points are unfor- tunately ineligible. Stanford adherents are not looking forward to points in the half-mile, quarter or. mile run. In the weights and in the other field events cardinal - points should come quickly. Rawles, who has been elect- ed captain of the squad, is. expected to qualify for first or second in both the 100 and 220 yard sprints, in the broad jump and in the quarter-mile. Stolz and Owen in.the field events, Holman in the sprints and Peasely and Swick- ard in the hurdles are the probable stars for Stanford. ———————— BALKY HOUSE STOPS TRAFFIC ALONG HAIGHT-STREET LINE —_— Cars Unable to Run Between Hours of 5 in Morning and 4:30 in Afternoon. The Haight-street car line was: tied up most of yesterday because of a house obstructing .the tracks at the ‘Webster-street crossing. E. K.

TROUT FISHIC WILL B LATE Recent Rains Have Spofled the Streams Near This City for Early Sport The ardent trout fishermen have become recorieiled to the prevailing weather con- ditions, which mean a late season. While the fishing will be poor one week from tomorrow when the seasou opens, it will impreve from that time on. Juet now the elements are acting as game preservers, Usually at this time of the year the poachers slip out and take the young trout contrary to'the law. This season the late rains and the freshets have muddied the streams and no fish can be caught. This means larger fish for the city men later on and more of them. The anglers who go out on April 1 can count on poor sport. All the coast streams are full of water and will be late. The fly fishing will not be good until the first of May on the main coast streams. There wilt be some fly fishing on their smallest tributaries on hot, sunny days, according to the best posted anglers. Up in the grand streams of the Sierra Nevadas the season will be later than in many years. Owing to the snow and other conditions there will not be much fishing before the 15th of June. Its qual- ity after that should make up for early disappointments. The majority of the men who will leave this city on April 1 for a day on the stream will go to the easily accessible Paper Mill Creek. It is claimed that more trout have been taken from this small Stream in the last quarter of a century than from. any similar stretch of water in the world. Willlam Kennedy and George Walker walked from Tocaloma to Point Reyes last Sunday to note conditions for fishing. They found the Paper Mill clear until they arrived at the point where Nicasio Creek enters the stream. This creek flows. through a soil heavily charged with clay and Its waters are muddy. “The Fish Commission is doing splendid work in keeping the supply of trout re- pienished from the various hatcheries maintained by the State. Nature supple- ments this work in the streams which empty into the ocean. The steclhead of the ocean becomes the rainbow trout of the small streams, his appearance chang- jng with his environment. The small steelnead resembles the smelt, being bright silver in color. Beneath tHe scales, however, are. the rainbow and the spots of the trout. After remaining in a stream a short time the scales are shed when the rain- bow and the spots come out. This change takes place gradually. If the fish is in a shady stream its marking will be dark, while if the stréam is exposed to the sun the trout will be light in color. Every trout will go to the ocean if he has the opportunity. Once there he loses the spots | and the markings of the trout and be- | comes the steelhead. The beautiful golden trout of Mount ‘Whitney is the rainbow of the other re- glons, taking his brillant markings from the food and the condition of the water in which he lives. COLLECE CREWS ON THE WATER of California Will Meet in Interclass Races it B A R BERKELEY, March 23.—The inter- class boat races of the University of California will be held tomorrow after- noon at 2:30 a'clock on the Oakland estuary. The finish line will be at the Park-street bridge. From *hat point of vantage the entire mile course can be viewed by spectatots. The east- bound Alameda cars from Oakland stop at this point. The order of the races University Oarsmen Their will be: v Freshmen vs. sophomores; jurtior vs. seniors. The winners in these two events will meet in a final race for class supremacy. The crews will be made up as follows: Seniors—McFarland. 1: Armsirong, Bailey, 3; Schmidt, stroke and captain; Hubbard, cockswain. Juniors—MacNichol. 1; McKiiligan, Jones, 3 (captain); Evans, stroke; Sin- sheimer, cockswain. Sophomores—Wilbur, 1; Clark, Budelman, 3; Tuller, stroke and ecap- tain; Loeb, cockswain. Freshman—Bentley or Mattner, 1: Witter, 2; Sturgis or Syarns, 3; Button or Witter, stroke; Myers, cockswain. Coach Garnett says of the races: The races wiil start promptly at 2:30 o'clock, They willbe rowed over a measured stratch of a mile strilght away on San Lesndro canst from 2 roint above the High-street bridge to_the finish below the Park-street bridge. Stanford may accept our invitation and send a Cardinal contingent to the races. 1 think altogether it will be the best and most exciting interclass regatts ever held on the coast. 1 had the pleasure last Saturday of see- ing the first hest of Stanford's interclass races. I am sure that, judging from what I saw, the intercollegiate ricés at Sausalito this year will more Interesting sport than we have en- joved in the past. The races will furnish a fair test of the merits of two radically differ- ent styles ol carsmanship. The’ Cardinals, un- der Dan Murphy of Foston, will row weil. Their varsity crew will be quite as husky as California’s, while their freshmen will far out- weigh the comparatively lightweight freshmen from California. "In spite of the flasco made ldst vear by our crippled and untrained fresh- men 1 have confidence In, our methods and in cur men. The tryouts for the Greek games will be held next Tuesday on the California fleld under Professor Walter Magee's direction. The evernts on the card in- clude the high jump, throwing the jave- lin for distance and accuracy, the §00- foot run and the 1212-foot run. The varsity baseball team will meet the Santa Clara aggregation on the campus tomorrow afternoon. The rain has interfered with practice work on the diamond, but the men appear in | good condition. Coach McCarthy will try out four pitchers in the gambe ‘to- morrow afternoon — West, Newman, Jordan and Reinhardt. Schaeffer will catch. LA The women’s intercollegiate basket. ball ' team will meet the feam from Stanford tomorrow afternoon on the Hearst Hall court. This will be the only game of the season. Formerly three 3 2 games 'a’ season were played, bt the ruling of the university: thorities here by which “co-eds” are ‘forbidden to play off the campus has spofled the regular programme. i G THE BALL [usms| IN TENNIS. PLAY Final Mateh Is Reached in the = Alameda County Doubles Championship OUTCOME IN DOUBT Experts Who Will Compete Are Adams and Dunlap, Long and Carl Gardner —_— tennis and n Weather permitting several tournaments will be played today tomorrow. Interest centers chiefly the final mateh for the doubles cham pionship of Alameda County. This will be played tomorrow on the Golden Gate Park courts. The singles tournamen which was. completed last Sunday. sulted In a victory for Charles Foley. The final match of the dmlzl?! B bring together two clever and evénly nm(g\edglram-. They are Fred Adams and Charles Dunlap and Melville Lons and Carl Gardner. The match will be three sets out of five, and will be layed at 2:30 o'clock Pl is worthy of note that of the four plavers who will compete in the finals three are not considered good doubles players. Adams, Long and Gardmer play much better singles than doubles, and it is odd they should have met with such success. Dunlap, who is In- ferior to the other three in singles, nas always been comsidered a good doubles ‘| player. It was expected before the tourna- ment commenced that the hondfs would g0 to either Charles Foley and Gedrge Janes, Clarence Griffin and George Ba- ker or R. Whitney and Guy Lytton These three teams were all disposed of, however. before the final round was reached. It wotild be a difficult matter to pick the winner of the findl match It shcm'd prove a long andeclose one, and a victory for either team would oc- casion no surprise. There will be challenge match, as the present eham- plons, Georgé and Neil Baker, split up and played through the tournament The showing of Neil Baker and Her- bert Long last Sunday was a disap- pointment. They will represent t Untversity of Califormia in the inte collegiate doubles. and much was ex- pected of them. They were badly beaten by Long and Gardner last Sunday: While the victory of Charles: Foley in the singles last Sunday was ex- pected, he ‘had no easy time winning. Carl Gardner and George Baker were at their best, and were by no means outclassed by the little champion. Fo- ley's repeated victories of late prove beyond doubt he is the cleverest player in the city. The only thing he has not done is to beat Coast Champion George Janes. The latter had been in all the tournaments won by Foley, with the ex- ception of one, but the two ¢racks have never met. That they will meet tomor- row is almgst a certainty. Janes has reached the finals of the first class and Foley is In the semi-finals. If the lat- ter disposes of George Baker, as is ex- pected, he and Japes will come together in-the finals. -This mateh will prove unusually interesting, and will draw many spectators. Janes played a clever game when he beat Fred Adams in straight sets last Sunday. and !s‘ ex-~ pected to make it interesting for Feley should the pair meet. The juveniles will finish their handi- cap singles tournament today. The first two rounds were played last Sat- urday. R. Greenberg is the only con- testant who has reached the third round. The second round matches to be played are: B. Brough (scratch) vs. D. Easton (3-6); R. Batkin (scratch) vs. J. Wallace (30); H. Levinson (15) vs. M. McLoughlin (owe 40); W. Mur- ray (3-6) vs, R. Strachan (owe 15 3-6); T. Williams (15) vs. J. Strachan H Marcus (sceratch) vs. R. Edwards (1§): W. Finlay (15 3-6) vs. R. Smith (13). A class singles tournament will be played om the California Club courts tomorrow. The second class was com- pleted last Sunday and resulted in an easy victory for Moulten Warner. The latter is improving rapidly and will be in the first clase before long. The other three classes will be played tomorrow. Those who will compete in the first class are Carl Gardner. Mel- ville and Herbert Long Herberc Schmidt, Harry Rolfe, George Janes, George Busch and Harold Gabriel The next championship event will be played at the California Club courts on May 30. It is the annual event for ia: championship of San Francisco. It will bring together all the local cracks, and shouid prove an interesting eveat. Carl Gardner is the preseat champion and will defend his title. LOSES SACK OF COIN WHICH HE LEFT ON TOF OF SCALES Captain J, Egenes of the Steamship Titania Asks Police Assistance : to Recover $240. Captain J. Egenes of the steamship Titania, lying at Folsom-street whart, has lost a sack containing $240 in gold nd Detectives Conlon and McGowan are endeavering.to find the persom. re- sponsible for its disappearance. Captain Egenes called at the store of Lewis, Anderson & Foard, 26 East street, on Thursday afternocon about 3 o'clock. Two friends were standing at the weighing - scales and he joined them. They began to discuss their re- spective welghts and decided ta see who weighed the most. Captain Egenes wanted to be fair and took the sack of gold out of his pocket and laid it on top of the scales. He had business in the city and abeut 5 o'clock he discovered that the sack was not in his pocket. Remembering that he had placed It on top of the scales he hurried back to the store, but it had disappeared. He made inquiry about it, but no one could supnly him with any information. He notified the police and Captain Burnett detailed De- tectives Conlon and McGowan om the case. —_———— Sewer Breaks Are Reported. Sewer breaks and overflows were re- ported from all parts of the city as the result of the heavy rains. The most serious overflow was.that on Folsom treet, between Fifteenth and Eigh- teenth, which caused the water to ris. to a helight of two feet on the street There was also an overflow of the Sewer at Baker and Francisco streets. Breaks in the sewers at ht and Laguna and Twenty-fourth street, be- tween Castro and Diamond, were also reported. = Southern Pacific Buys 3 Deeds showing the conveyance by Company ot prcperty 1 why bty s ¥ in the vichity of King.
