THE CHAMPION FLAG.
1t VIII Now Float over the Boat-Hous

1t VIII Now Float Over the Boat-House
of the Ariels.
The Ariel Rowing Club can now fly the
amateur champion flag over their boat
house, having won that distinction yester-
day by defeating the Pioneers in two-mile
race over the Long Bridge course.
The rowing association offered a silk flag
to be rowed for by crews represented in the
association, the conditions being that it
should be won three times before becoming
the property of any club. Yesterdays race
was the third and final one, the Arels, as
on the two previous occasions, winning
easily.
The Alameda four who made such a good
showing in the first event again failed TO
send crew, only two crews starting, the
Ariels and Pioneers. The former crew was
Henry Tank, John Larkey, Henry Whit
copp and George w. Phelan; Pioneers,
". Ellis, Ed Keenan,, Robert Espy. and
W. Espy. Referee sullivan sent the boats
off TO an even start. The Pioneers got the
water first and sent their craft to the front,
but their advantage was of short duration,
as the Ariel men got themselves together
and before half mile was covered were
leading by full length, and rounded the
stake boat about that distance III advance.
Their opponents came up with rush, and,
making a splendid turn, reduced the lead
somewhat, but were too much pumped to
better their condition. The ArielS won
easily in II minutes and 40 seconds.
After the race it was reported that the
South Ends, who lately withdrew their del
egates from the association, would at once
challenge the Ariels to row for a $500
trophy and the championship. The captain
OF the latter crew feels iubilant over Tie
prospect, and SAYS the challenge will be ac-
Ceutpu.

SUNDAY PASTIMES.
Series of Spirited Games in the
Hand-BaIl Alleys.
Coed Sport at the Traps-opening Of the
Cricket season-The Ariels Capture the
Championship Flag,

Perhaps it is the pressure Of so many
noted players and champions in the local
haud-ball courts that has given an added
zest to the sport, increased the number of
amateurs and crowded to their uttermost
the galleries assigned to spectators; but be
that as it may the fact is growing every day
more apparent that either another, or two
or three other courts mu st soon be built or
the galleries at the present courts enlarged
10 accommodate the increased number of
spectators who watch the weekly games.
Both were crowded yesterday to standing
and many persons were turned away during
the afternoon. This state OF affairs will
not be apt 10 last much longer than during
the first few SUNDAYS eff the game series,
while the challenges are being made and ac-
copied and the players are trying each others
metal. Then there will have to be at
least one other court south of Market street
and perhaps a couple north Of it.
SPIRITED GAMES.
The games yesterday In both courts were
very interesting and the playing very spin
tied. At the Union alley there were two
animated games in the afternoon in the
regular game series. The contestants
were: John Riodon, Pacific Coast cham
uion, and Hugh Toner agai nst john
Condor and Thomas CaSSin. The frs
game was won by Riordan and Toner

won 10y the same parties in the first and
third TubS, while the second went TO Condor
and Cassu. Tie scores were: 10 10 L, ) TO
j. and 10 TO 7.
In the morning J. Darcy and P. Leary
played John CrOnin and +. McKeldy, but
lost IN two sITaightS. The scores were 5 to
j. and to Il, which are remarkable. since
tie contestants were supposed to be evenly
matched.
AN EASY VICTORY.
Patrick Kelly and Hugh Toner were pitted
against John McDerm0tt and John CTOnn
in three games. The scores Of the 1irst
were Il. 15to3 anu 8to 10 giving the lat

OF all times OF all of the year this is the
most dangerous. 1t is time when the air is filed
with disease, when the wind watts pneumonia The
deaths from this trouble alone simply

be increasing. Pneumonia comes suddenly; it acts
quickly; 1t far too q zen results fatally 1t Is all
the more dangerous because it comes unannounced.

an difficulty in breathing, extreme feeling OF
languor, all may mean the beginning OF pneumonia
Being so sudden a disease it requires above all
things prompt treatment Every minute then be-
comes precious. II prompt reaction Is brought

be near. ANY physician who is called in case Of
pneumonia prescribes stiulans instantly, but 1t lie
always some reliable stimuIant such as pure
whisky-all else is useless.
For years the stand ard the reliable. the one
whisky which can be depended on has been Duffys

were on the high road TO pneumonia in its worst
form, and it has both prevented and cured the
worst forms OF pulmonary trouble. 1t stands unri-

how much you may be urged to try a cheaper and

HORSE TALK.

Tim Murphy Badly Broken Down and
Sinfax Quite Lame.
Cy Mulkey states that Tim Murphy Is
broken down badly and he hardly expects
that he will ever race again. He has turned
him out. Sinfax, his crack three-year-old,
has also gone amiss and will not race for
some time. An effort will be made to pre-
pare Sinfax for the northern circuit. The
colt will therefore not be seen at the Bay
District meeting. The mishaps to his two
best horses leaves Mulkey very short of
racing material. Folly. the two-year-old
Wildidle FLY, that won on Saturday will be
his sole representative at San Francisco.
Trainers at the San Jose track say that
their charges are much behind in condition
to the Southern strings, the bad weather pre-
venting their being given the necessary work.
They seem to think that l.. j. Roses horses
Will carry Off first hon0rs at the blood-horse
spring meeting, as the winter was very open
at Los Angeles and horses could be trained
without any let-ups.

Chnsrd by a Crowd.

There was lively chase from the Oak
land ferry up Clay street yesterday after
noon. SOme one started the cry that a
wOman's pocket had been picked, and when
Charles Rearden, sallow-campexioned
youth, ran, a crowd pursued him. He sped
along at lively rate, and finally sought
refuge in a Chinese shoe factory at the
corner of Sacramento and Battery streets.
There Officer Burr Love overhauled him
and placed his name on the small 4" book
at the City Prison, pending further inveSti-

THE SEASON OPENED.
The OalIands Win Cricket Match From
the Burnabys.

The Oalslands Win a Cricket Match From
the Burnabys.
The first cricket match Of the season was
played at the Web ster-street grounds, Ala
media, yesterday afternoon between the Oak
land and Burnaby clubs, and resulted in a
hollow victory for the former.
Some difficulty was found in raising full
teams, and both clubs had drawn on the
members of the other clubs to fill ID,
Weise, Howell, Johnson and j. Theobald
of the Paclfcs were included in the Oakland
eleven, and Spiro and Sheppard of the Ala
medas played for the BurnabyS, W no were
without some of their best men.
The BUrnabyS went first to the bat and
made poor showing against the bowling OF
Howell and j. Theobald, the former OF
whom took seven wieketS, four of them being
cleaned bowled. The whole side was out
for the small total OF 40, 10 OF which were
contributed by Boyd. who hit hard but
somewhat luckily for mis- runs.
The OaklandS passed this score with only
one wicket down, and $50 were registered ON
the telegraph board when the last wicket
fell The total would have been much
smaller if the Burnabys fielding had been
smarter, nearly all the heavy scorers being
badly missed at least once. Bolton was top
scorer, with a freely hit y, and Howell
came next with %. Howell displayed the
best form of the day, his defense being
strong and his hitting very clean and well
timed. 1he other successful balsmen were
,JohuS on, Jackliu and Z. IheObaId. john
son made the hit of the day, hard drive
for 8, which landed over the fence.
On the Burnabys going to the bat sec
ond time a prolonged stand was made Ie
the first two men. Reynolds AID Boyd. and
there seemed some prospect of a good fight.
Boyd was. however, badly run cut, with the
total at 81, and though Reynolds stayed for
some tins and hit hard, Tut little other re-
sistarce was made TO the Oakland bowling.
The venture closed for 80, leaving the Oak
lands the vIctora by an innings and 81 runs.
