GOLF AT THE PREsIDIo.
Oakland Team Will Try Conclusions on the Links of the San Fran
 cisco Club To-Day

Last Saturday afternoon the first team match between representatives of the San Francisco and Oakland golf clubs was begun at the Oakland links. This after noon the Oakland players will be the guests of the San Francisco club, and the second half of the game will be played on the Presidio links. The results of both days play will be added together, and the team with the highest aggregate score will be declared the winner of the first home-and-ho match ever played in the neighborhood of San Francisco, and probably the first ever played in Cali fornia. The teams consist of eight men from each club, the Oakland representa- tives being G. D. Greenwood, F. s. Strat- ton. w. P. Johnson, A. Folger, J. Mckee, C. P. Hubbard E. R. Folger and C. r. Wingate; and the San Francisco players being pr. Hibbetts, J. ". Byrne, H. D. Pmsbury, c. Page, H. Babcock, E. J; Me Cutehen, s. L. Abbott Jr. and T. C..
 The second game will be played on the Oakland links on April s, and on the Pre- sidio links on April l5-
 As all the links have certain peculiari- ties of their own, what are called ground rules are made to meet the special con ditions. The following are the ground rules of the Presidio links:
 1-If a ball has fallen within the course and lies that an iris interferes with play ing the same such iris may be removed by the player. This rule does not apply to ball fallen outside the course.
 A ball lying in rainwater Out not In a hazard) may be removed without penalty, if rain shall have fallen within 24 hours before the match.
 3-A ball may under a penalty of two strokes be lifted out Of a difficulty of any description and teed behind the same.
 4-The bunkers in font of the first teeing ground and the fourth hole must be played out of. ball lying the new greens or teeing grounds must be lifted and placed be- hind them without penalty.
 The mems competitions in driving and in approaching set down on the pro- granime of the San Francisco Golf Club for this afternoon have been deferred. No date has been set for them.
 on the Oakland links this afternoon there will be a competition for the ladies cup, which has already been competed for twice-in June and September. Miss A. Duff was the first competitor and Miss Durham proved successful in the second The original intention was that the cup must be won three times by the same lady before becoming her property, but 1t has been settled that after a fourth compeu- tion the winners on the four occasions shall play together and the one who makes the best score shall become the owner of the cup.
