Petersen has not had the Stella out me time, but she will ba in good tri tomorrow. The. Stella easily proved her supremacy last -year. , She not only won the Dickie cup, but also carried off the yearly pennant. Brannan's Ruth is_a new boat, and speculation is rife as to whether she will take the measure of the speedy holder of the cup. The Ruth won the first pennant race of the year and also the intermediate regatta. ‘Brannan has great faith in his new model, and will be greatly disappointed if she does not win the cup. F "The Apache, owned by ‘Reeckner, is the oldest boat of the three and, ‘in fact, is one of the veterans of the-fleet. Roeckner has made some alterations of late, and the Apache is speedier than fo tor sox rly. It the Stella fs beated, many figure the Ruth will have to do the trick.

The face of the manager of the home team is invariably wreathed in smiles, and ‘he tells his friends as he handshakes them that “we're going to get away with that pennant this_time.”* ‘That's the way Jack Gleason is talking now, and. all the regu- lars are pulling for him. The Seals will make their opening fight agninst the Siwashés from Seattle when the hour of 3:30 rolls around this aft- ernoon, For the'last three yeéars these two teams have inaugurated ‘the cam- paign here, and 8an’' Francisco has left the -field with the lion's share of the runs“each-time.

The doors of the park have been open to each and every fan who wanted to get a line on the team. The home team has been playing to good houses since its return from the training grounds at Visalia, and every one who saw them work 1s of the opinion they will de honor to San Franeisco..

He knows the pennant will be his and has cut the worry out., He thinks the boys will dq their best, and that's all he expects of them. While the Seals are entertaining the Si- washes here Mike Fisher will play the host at Fresno, his guests being the Port- land Browns. Oakland and Los Angeles in the meantime will start the game going in the southern village, where a great throng is expected to turn out to greet the champions of last. year. Manager Gleason will present a number of bushers this .season. On his pitching staff he has Sale, ‘Doyle ‘and Shea, three likely Jooking.boys who.give promise of league form with a little experience. Then at first Sears and Poultney will fight it out. Both played good ball during prac- tice, and it is a case of the survival of the | fittest. v As usual, games will be.played in this] city every afternoon save Mondays and Tuesdays.

The interior will be finished by the members themselves, there being electriclans, carpenters and other- practical men among. them. At a future meeting a jinks commit- tee: will be appointed and the theater party to be given at the Majestic on Friday, the 20th inst, will be talked over.” Volunteers have been called for to assist in the work of laying the floors in the clubhouse on Sunday. The season of ‘the club will open on Saturday, May 12. The yachts lying at anchor in front of the clubhouse will dress ship at noon and during the after- noon there will be a reception on board. Supper for the members will be served at 7 in the boatroom and will be followed by a jinks. On Sunday the opening crulse of the club will be held. On Saturday, May 26, the fleet will cruise to Vallejo, racing home next day with handicaps. The fleet of the Golden Gate Club Is fn- creasing, about nine yachts having been added during the past week. G. J. Mc- Cormick is having his sloop Thetis, ‘which he will rename Arlene, put into commission by ‘Menotti, the Sausalito boat-buflder. His crew during the coming season will consist of F. Elfen- ‘Will Reardon and Claire Knerr. The officers of the Encinal Yacht Club. for the coming year will ‘be: Louls Weinmann, president; Henry Lands- berger, vice president; Harry Shedd, secretary; | Frederick C.

E. M. Gar- nett, the Harvard coach of thé Univer- sity of California crews, has his men in good form. The races are to be rowed ‘on the afternoon of April 28 in Rich- ardsons Bay, off Sausalito, and prom- ise ‘to’ be unusually interesting. Var- sity and freshman crews from the Uni- versity of California. Stanford Univer- sity and the University of Washington will compete in modern four-oared racing shells and the efforts of the two other colleges are making to wrest su- premacy from the blue and gold should Insure an abundance of thrills for the spectators. . But as California will have a. varsity crew even stronger than last year's champion four and a freshman ew too ‘tractable to repeat the dis- graceful exhibition the '08’s made of themselves, her rivals. barring accl- dents, will have something more than a practice row. For a number of reasons this year's regatta will mean more than any races hitherto rowed on the Pacific Coast. The universities realize that intercol- legiate boating will . never take its proper rank in €alifornia until the an- nual eight-oared shell race is a fact. And the sooner the popular.interest is aroused the sooner will the rowing en- thusiasts reach that goal of their aquatic ambition. efforts will be made to render Year's races as attractive as possible: Pitch First Bau | STREANS CLEAR FIR ANCLIG Legions- of Trout - Fisher- men Will Tread Banks of Paper Mill Creek The clear weather of the past week has worked a wonderful change in the nearby trout streams and has awakened a strong desire among the anglers for a'day afleld. Bxcellent fishing is expected on the Pa- per Mill with spoon and bait, as trout are known to be there in great numbers. The water has cleared rapidly during the week. It is expected some large fish will be taken. The best catches last Sunday were made at San Geronimo, but all Ma- rin streams should be good to-morrow. Smith Crowder and Mr. Carlow, guests at the St. Francis, are here to put Cali- fornfa trout jfishing to the test. They have the moft tempting of lures in their fly books and expect some royal sport. The Truckes and other grand streams in California are well known teo the Eastern anglers, and a large number of visitors come out here each seasom. Jabez Swan slipped away during the week to a small stream back of Mills Seminary, whege he took twenty-eight fair-sized trout? It was not generally known that fish were there. Willlam Gibb fished Dutch Bill Creek, a branch of the Russian River, some days since and secured fifteen trout running from eight to twelve inches in size. He hooked what he believes was a nine-pound steelhead, which cleaned him out and made good its escape. Albert Wick, Frank Marcus and Bert Harwood fished Wild Horse Lake, located in the canyon of that name near Suisun, on opening day. They secured only three fish. Their disappointment was shared by nearly 200 anglers. This lake usually pro- vides good sport, but the condition of the ‘water was unfavorable. Harry Leap and Harry Irwin will try their luek tomorrow on the Russian River near Mont Rio. Tony Gerald will be dne of the enthu- siasts to whip the Paper Mill tomerrow for its finny treasures. EQ Schuitz, Jack Carney, Charles Breid- enstein, Bert Spring. Jim Maynard and Joe Dolbeer will be conspicuous figures to- morrow on the Paper Mill. William Hynes will journey to Willits to trr his skill on one of the branches of Eel River. Willlam Kennedy and George Walker will be at their accustomed places ou the Paper Mill, near Camp Taylor. James Watt will be a-casting and a-casting not far away. William Hillegass, George Russell and a friend will go to Tocaloma tomerrow. They anticipate great sport. ——— Ingleside Coursing Park Stakes.
