MORE GLORY
 FOR OLYMPUS Finished First in the Cor rigan Stake Decided
 at Ingleside. Sombre, the Hot Favorite, Fin ished Outside of the
 Money.
Buclxwa Cantered in winner-First Choices Fell Heir to Four
 Purses.

Olinthus, the handsome chestnut brother to Diggs, more than turned the tables on Sombre at Ingleside yesterday. On March 24 the black daughter of the one-time queen of the turf. Miss Woodford, downed Olinthus half a length for the Androus stake. On that occasion the latter re- ceived a shabby ride. Since that time Olinthus has shaken his country coat and gait, and now looks the aristocrat all over. His steady improvement appar- ently escaped the majority, for in the bet ting on the Corrigan stake at five fur longs Sombre was chalked up to fa- vorite, and the bookies were almost swamped with the coin offered. At post 4 to D was very scarce. Olinthus, carry ing 129, two pounds more than the choice opened at twos, but the supply was greater than the demand, and his odds drifted to to l. The other starters had shown no class.
 At the start Excursion was first to break and went sitting away in the lead Sombre at his heels and Olinthus plod- ding along in third position. Well into the stretch Sombre was all out and fell back. Shields shook Olinthus up and gradually taking the lead won cleverly from the fast coming Milt Young in 1:O224 Excur- sion hung on gamely, only giving up the place in head finish.
 A strong wind blew over the course, which prevented any fast time being made. It was a rosy day for favorites, four out of six securing purses.
 The opening event at six furlongs was taken by Rosormonde which, with San Antonio. held sway in the betting. "Skeets" Martin rode Naglee Burke s mare, and, in front most of the way, led San Antonio out by over length in 1:l51a
 In the seven-furlong selling affair next decided the 3 to ? favorite San Mateo found the route too far, and after making all the pace was beaten out the last few strides by Lena, the second choice. .pi- loted by Piggott. Woods landed Miss Ross in the show at odds of 30 to l.
 A cheap siX-furlong run followed and Twinkle Twink, the favorite, with Gouin in the saddle; won and that was all. Ear TO, ridden by Gus Wilson, struck the stretch with a commanding lead, when his rider grew gay, and Gouin brought the favorite along in time to get the decision by a nose Zaraida was third.
 The mile and a sixteenth looked gift for Buckwa. and such it proved. The ring laid the long price of to 100 about him, and all Clayton had to do was to sit still and hold his head up. Four lengths back as the wire was passed Ihelma peat San Marco a neck for the place.
 Bernardillo had nothing to beat in the last event, and at odds of 3 to 3 galloped in the easiest kind of a winner. In hard drive the 100 to l shot Walter took the place from Summertime.

BASEBALL NEWS
 AND COMMENT
BY JOE cORBETT.

Josh" Riley will not go East this sea son, preferring to take his chances with the Central Park League.
 It is said that Blocker" Hanley is shy a bone 'twixt the elbow and the shoulder which accounts for his poor throwing.
 Krug aspires to become a National Leaguer. Not bad idea, Henry.
 ''Youngus" Johnson is still having his troubles with the Eastern magnates, and says that if they don't come to his terms pretty soon he will sign with Manager Crowley's aggregation. With Johnson and Riley the San Franciscos will have a very strong team.
 Creamer says that umpires have not enough authority, and in consequence their life is made miserable. It would be much better for the game out here if a rule was made enabling umpires to put players out of a game If such rule does exist it should be enforced, as too much kicking very often spells a game.
 Entirely too much time is lost by teams between innings. Ginger up blt-it looks nice.
 Any ball player who cannot afford q pair of shoes with spikes" should be suspended. How they ever expect to play good ball with tennis shoes on is d mystery.
 Monahan, the crack third baseman of the San Franciscos, is thinking very seriously of accepting one of the many

last night at a meeting of promoters of the game at Eugene Bert's office. The first game under the new leagues sehed- ule will take place on Sunday, May '. The two leagues as they stand at present will hold attention at the diamonds on Saturday and Sunday and then they will go out of existence. The schedule of games that is to follow will be prepared Monday night next. At the same time it will be decided on which of the three grounds in the city the games will be played. The new league holds an option on all three of the baseball parks until then.
 Eugene Bert president: J. J. Rauer, vice president; J. Bonet, treasurer. and H. Stevens, secretary.
 The teams that will play in the Pacific Coast League, as the new organization is called, will be: Gilt Edges of Sacra- mento,. w. J. Henesy and P; +; kripp managing; Santa Cruz, F. w. Swanton and Q. L. Futile managing; San Jose. +. Weston and J. McGucken managing: San Francisco, F. w. Bushnell and George Bunker managing; San Francisco Ath- letes, F. J. Kaplan and D. J. Crowley managing; Oakland Reliance. J. Cal Ew- ing and A. J. Tubbs managing; stockton H. J. Cochrane and G. c. Campbell man. aging, and Fresno, Russ Walberg and E. A. Donohue managing.
 The managers of the teams of both leagues have been suggesting to each other for some time that the baseball clubs of both organizations should for the benefit of the sport be under one management. All the managers were agreeable to the scheme, but none of them seemed willing to concede anything to bring it about. Neither league has been a profitable venture as far as pc cuniary results were concerned and as the debts kept increasing the louder was the talk of consolidation. After many Wrangles a basis for amalgamating the two clubs was formed and at the end of a few heated meetings the Pacific Coast League was effected, with all the choice clubs of the two leagues selected to form the schedule of the new organization.

TRACK NOTES.

The stewards of the California Jockey Club will meet this forenoon at 10 o'clock at the of- fee of the club, when the case of the sus- pended rider Eddie Jones, will be given re- hearing. Ed Corrigan has protested the claiming Of Chihuahua by Tom Cooke lon the ground that the latter was acting as agent for some one who kept in the background. The matter will receive an airing to-day.
 Soscol appears to be very much of an in and outer. His showing in the opening event was a very rank with "Pepsn' Clawson in the saddle.
 Master Mariner ran third in the first race at odds of 100 to 1. He has plenty of speed and will do to keep eye on.
 Zainar had speed to burn until the stretch was reached, and there he cashed in. Hong s gelding receded in the betting.
 There were hard luck stories without number at the conclusion of the Twinkle Twink-Zarro finish. Had Gus Wilson the latter gone on about his business in the run nome instead of turning in the saddle to see how far be- hind the field was. the black horse would have won. It is a habit that has lost many a purse.
 Olinthus has won over s4000 in stakes and purses since Galen Brown first showed him ul at Ingleside track back in January.

liberal offers made him by Eastern clubs. This star player would undoubted- ly hold up the enviable achievements of former Californians, but as good players are in demand out here as well as in the East, it is to be hoped he remains with us.
 -Ianager Coffroth says that in two weeks he will have the fastest team in the State. Wake up, Jim.
 Russell of the White House team would make a valuable acquisition to any of the league clubs. He Is a good pitcher and should be given a chance.
 Hughes, the young Native Son who re- gently joined the Baltimores, is making wonderful record for himself with that club. His shutting out of the great Bos- ton team without a. run. or hit places him in a class by himself. Many people are inclined to believe that the support accorded him by the BaltimoreS was re- sponsible for his great record. Such a supposition is without grounds. There Is no doubt but what he was accorded excel l lent support, yet if he were not good | pitcher all the league clubs comblned | could not have prevented that hard-hit- | ting Boston team from making at least | one base hit.
 Eastern writers, commenting on his
 work, state that his pitching Is simply
 marvellous and his batting all that could | be desired. The most wonderful part or | this mans work lies in the fact that he
 entered the National League without the | ence He opened up against the Bostons
 without knowing their weaknesses at bat, | which fact gives to California the repu- l tation of producing the only real | "phenom."
