AN EMERGENCY ROLL.
Plan to Recruit for First Regiment, N. G. C.-The New Service
 Uniforms Are Here.

At a meeting of the Board of Officers of the First Regiment of Infantry, N. G. C., held last Thursday night, it was re- solved to open an emergency company roll at each of the two armories. The pur- pose of this is to enable any of the ex- National Guardsmen, who, for various reasons, were honorably discharged from the service, to be ready to again become members of any of the companies they might desire. It is not, at this time, the intent to muster the men who may sign the emergency roll, but to have them ready at short notice should the occa- sion arise for their services.
 These rolls will be opened on Monday night at the Ellis street armory, where those who may desire to enroll their names with the companies that meet there that night will have an opportun- .ity to do so The rolls will also be opened at the Page street armory, where two companies will meet for drill that night. Every night next week the armorieS will be open on company nights and in addi- ficer who will impart information as to where the members of the consolidated companies, that is, those which belong to the regiments that were mustered out under the plan of reorganization, can be found, as there are, no doubt, great number of eX-GuardSmen who would pre- fer to be with old companions-in-arms
 Most of the service uniforms that were ordered for the National Guard several city and are now in warehouse, and will be ready for distribution in short time, as soon as proper form Of re- ceiptS is drawn up.

 The. club hopes to send a team to Loomis at the end of May to play against the Placer County eleven.
 Messrs; R. B. Hogue, E. Brown. George Iheobaid and Henry Ward met on Wednesday to discuss cricket affairs and dectued to formally open the season with practice match on May 1, married Is single. As there seems little ikelihood of third club being formed. it was de- termined to play five test matches during the season, each match to take two Snn days, between the Alameda and Pacific elevens, and to fill in the vacant days with such matches as city vs country bankers and insurance clerks vs all com CTS, and married vs. single. The whole of October Is to be reserved for matches against the country teams.

GETTING READY FOR
 THE BENCH SHOW.

The secretary of the San Francisco Ken nel Club has received from New York an unofficial intimation that the suspension of the Mastiff Club has already been can celed but in the absence of official con f1rmation this report must be accepted with the proverbial grain of salt. It seems that the time is too short for any such measure to have been taken. The San Francisco Kennel Club is naturally anx- ious for the reinstatement of the Pacific Mastiff Club, as the latter has offered some valuable prizes for competition at the show.
 At meeting of the committee on judges last evening the question of the retention of George Bell was definitely settled in the affirmative.
 Seventy-five per cent of the profits of the show will be devoted to the cause of charity. Mr. Oldham, the superintendent of the show, will arrive here on the 27th inst, and will at once take charge of the preliminary work. Neither pains nor ex- pense will be spared to insure success full show.
 Applications for premium lists and en- try blanks have already been received from New York and New Orleans. The premium lists will be issued next Monday
 The Oakland bench show will open two weeks after the close of the San Fran CISCO show. and David J. Sinclair will su- perintend it. The judge has not yet been selected. but it is a foregone conclusion that the Alameda Sportsmen's Associa- tion will not reappoint their last years judge

HANDBAhL AND
POOL JOURNEYS

The banging and smashing of balls re- bounding from the walls of handball courts could be heard necessarily during the week at the Olympic Club. Many exciting games were played, and the tournament is progressing rapidly toward completion. The results are as follows: First class-Hampton beat Morton, 51- 37 Morton beat Newman; 51-3S; Hamp- ton beat James, 51-32; Collins with b beat Hampton, 51-39 Newman beat Cur ley, 51-23.

In the third class Parker, Bostwick and Daniels are cut. Bowman, scratch man in this class, is playing the best ball. IShrman. a com parative novice, is astonishing the third class men by his rapid but cratic game.

Some people attribute the poor fishing of the past three or four years to the pollution of the waters from the debris of the asylum, which place is located near Glen Ellen; but when fishing above the asylum has been equally poor, then it becomes patent that something other than the pollution of the waters has had something to do with the fanng off of the grand sport that was enjoyed on the creek some years ago.
 With good and intelligent stocking an- nually Sonoma Creek can be made very popular. fishing waters for local anglers: There is, however, tolerably good sport at present to be had on the stream. Some nice creels of trout have been taken dur ing the past week Charles H. Linn of caught sixty very nice pan fish last Sun day, one of which weighed nearly two pounds, and on Wednesday last A. Har- rison of Glen Ellen landed fifty trout, many of, which measured from eight to twelve inches.

 Jim Orndorff caught some nice trout last Tuesday in San Gregorio Creek, but Jim's sport was spoiled after he had taken an involuntary dip in one of the deep pools.
 Good trout fishing is reported from Salmon Creek, near Dodega, and Dutch Bill Cr-e elk, between Camp Meeker and Tyrone station, which is near Russian River.

 The following communication from Monterey is self-explanatory
 MONTEREY, April 1.-Two petitions rela- tive to the game laws of this county have been presented by County Game Warden Godat. The first asks that the beginning of the trout season be deferred from April to May 1. be- cause trout caught before that time full Of spawn, and the other asks that 1t be de- clared unlawful to hunt deer with dogs of any kind. on account of the fear of frightening all the deer out of Monterey County.
 Recent advices from Los Gatos do not give great promise of much fishing in that vicinity this season, owing to the fact that what water has gone down Los stream at Campbell for irrigation pur- poses, thus stopping 1t from going to Al viso. It is not generally known, but it is true, nevertheless. that the majority of the fish cauPht in this creek come from Alyiso; they are Steelheads. Last year it is said that thousands of these fish were found in the irrigatng ditclIes near Campbell after the water had sank into the ground. Screens should be put in at the head of all irrigation ditches and fish ladders at all dams.

CHAMPION RACQUET
 WIELDERS AT WORK.

Tennis players are fondly waiting for the reports of the great Ojai Valley tour nament probably the most important ever held in California The general be- lief is that the north will be triumphant over the south in every battle. The Whit neys and Hardys left the city last Wednesday evening for the valley, and gathering of tennis players was at the ferry to wish them success and victory Rarely has any tennis tournament caused as much interest as this which will be completed to-day. In the minds of those who know a thing or two about tennis there is no doubt concerning the result of the tournament; that the Whitney and Hardy freres will win not only the major ity Of matches, but every one played, is their firm belief. However, they will find strong men opposed to them, and they will have to play to carry off the palms.
 At the California Club some very good matches were played during the week and arrangements made for others to follow next week On Monday the oft postponed match between Miss Hoffman and Miss Mason for the club champion ship in singles will be played In mixed doubles Sumner Hardy and Miss Clark cleared the courts with sweeping victor ies. Miss McLeran, fair visitor from the south played several matches on the courts during. the past week and taught the young lady players; something of the game. With Miss Isabelle Sherwood of Alameda she defeated Miss Winifred Sherwood and Miss Mann 6-1. Miss Me Leran and Joe Daily defeated the Misses Sherwood 6-2. 6-2.
 N. Whitney was the only one who did not put in a week of practice Sumner and Sam Hardy put up good games in practice. sam Hardy beat Walter Magee four out of five sets. George Whitney beat Bradshaw 6-1, S-6 e.

GOOD FLY FISHING
 ON COAST STREAMS.

Sonoma Creek. which is one of the prettiest trout streams on the line of the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail- road, will doubtless be well stocked with trout fry this year.
 Some six years ago, when the La Motte hatchery was in operation near Glen El- len trout fishing on the creek was good during all months of the season. but since the stocking of the stream, which was done by experienced hands, had ceased the sport gradually faded away.
