BASEBALL AND ATHLETICS,
First intercollegiate Game of
the Season at Berke-
ley.
What William Kennedy of the
Olympic Thinks of Eastern
Boxers.

Amateur baseball is very popular this
season, and considerable interest in the
series of games that have been arranged
by the clubs has been manifested by the
lovers of the national game. The STAN
ford and Berkeley university mines will
meet on Saturday at Berkeley, and sharp
contest is looked for, as both clubs have
practiced faithfully for the game The fol-
lowing correspondence from Stanford con-
corning baseball and athletics will interest
patrons of the sport:
Captain Dyer of the Stanford baseball team
gives the following as the lineup for the next
game, which takes place at P. NJ. Saturday on
the Berkeley diamond and which is the first
intercollegiate match of the season: Pitcher,
McLaine; catcher, Russell: first base, Young:
second base, Dyer; shortstop, White; third
base, Lewis; right field, Calhoun; center field,
Sheehan; left field, HARRISON; substitutes
Thompson, JEFF, Pincus.
The general opinion is that Stanford will add
another victery to her unbroken list of base
ballyictories over Berkeley. The changes made
in the Stanford team undoubtedly strengthen
1t and II is practically the final Varsity nine as
now made up. The time of the game has been
set at an early hour in order that Stanford stu
dents who attend may have time enough to
get back to witness the first presentation of
the operetta "Pinafore," by Stanford students.
''Pinafore" will be given both Friday and Sat-
urday evenings
Another trial field day takes place to-day
on the Stanford field and good records are
looked for, as this virtually decides on STAN
ford's representatives. Brown is disappointed
that so few men have trained regularly. Prob
ably fifteen men will cover all that Stanford
can send out
The Pennsylvania method of selecting track
men has been adopted here. though the limits
are lower than set by the University of Penn
sylvania in order that more may be disposed to
try for the places. The following is the stand
ard: One hundred-yard dash, IL Sec. go
yard dash, 241a Sec; 44Oyard run, So Sec;
S60-yard run, 2 min. 5 see.; / mile rum 5
min.; running high jump, 5 it 4 in. running
broad jump, 20 IT.; pole vault, 8 it.; shot put,
"a it.; hammer throw, 50 it.; mile walk, s
min. 80 Sec. 12O-yard hurdle, il Sec; 900
yard hurdle, 30 sec.
The first tennis match of the season between
Stanford and Berkeley will be held on the
Berkeley courts next SATURDAY. at $50 A. NJ
Stanford will send out Pitcher and Packard to
look out for her interests. These gentlemen
will represent her both in the doubles and
singles.
A. Pettee and Charles Moth, well-known
wrestlers, have signed articles to wrestle in
this city on April for purse of $500. The
conditions are that the men wrestle in ac-
cordance with catch-as-ca tch-can rules,
best two out of three falls. Pettee will
train at the Olympic Club, and Moth will
in all probability do his exercising some
where in the vicinity of the Six-mile
House.
The indoor athletes of the Olympic Club
are anxious for another boxing tourna-
ment, as several of the clubs leading ex-
ponents of the manly art have been keep
ing themselves in good fettle with view
of taking an Eastern trip in the near
future.
In regard to the proposition made by the
Olympic Club to the New York Athletic
Club for meeting of the boxers of the
two clubs in New York, Herman Oelrichs,
who is the moving athletic spirit of the
Olympic Club, received letter from New
York few days ago, the contents of which
he has not yet made public to the super
intendent of the Olympic. The latter,
however, is of the opinion that the news
received from the East is not favorable to
the boys of the Olympic who had already
set their minds on a trip over the big
mountains. AS Mr.. Kennedy remarked
yesterday:
"If good news had been received by Mr..
Oelrichs l would have heard from him i'm
mediateiy. The delay, however, has
almost convinced me that the Eastern
boxers have no particular desire of engag-
ing in series of boxing bouts with the
crackeriacks of the Olympic and, to speak
the truth, / don't blame them, as they
would receive the worst drubbing they
ever got in their lives, and it wouldn't do,
you know, for handful of boxers from
the wild West to go to New York and
teach the great athletes of the East a few
good healthy lessons in the art of self
defense, and that would assuredly be the
reau1t -
