other hand the University OF Califor-

Harry Weihe, Stanford's best play

a promising man in young Hodge. but
he is an inexperienced player and can
not be depended upon. The only other
players are Cleve Baker and Roy Lieb

Trainer Walter Christie
Finds Some Good Perform
.ers In Freshman Class

BERKELEY, March 25.-The most
important step in years for the benefit
of athletics at the University Of Cali
fornia was taken this week. when the
executive committee Of the Associated
Students paved the way for the estab-
ushment OF q training table for the
track men. This new idea for Cali
1ornia is expected TO do wonders for
the men now in training for the trials
against Stanford.
The. need OF a training table was
never really felt at the university until
this year. In previous years California
has nearly always been victor in the
field events, but last year demonstrated
that success cannot always come. The
athletes are so evenly matched on both
sides that il is 4 problem which will
win this year. It only needs a little
shading TO turn the result either way.
Trainer Christie and Track Captain
Cooley have realized for a long time
that a training table is the thing.
BY. placing the men at the training
table the trainer may supervise their
eating, both as TO quantity and quail
tty The system viii be particularly
bene6cial to the long distance men, who
need to be dieted more than any others.
The championship field day on We'd
nesday was the first real trial Of the
season. Several things happened to
show that California is not so badly
of in some departments as at first
thought. This has special reference TO
The weight throwing Of Sperry and the
winning Of the 44O-yard run by Kern.
Sperry broke the college record. Kern's
easy victory in the 440-yard run is an
indication that there is a chance for
California ia trial against Stanford s
suen, Dunn and CrOssman, the winners
last year.
These two men, Sperry and Kern.
are freshmen. Hume, winner Of the
TWO hurdle races, and Abbott, who de-
leated Captain Cooley in the high jump
are also freshmen. It seems the fresh
men class contains all the best mate
rial just now. Hume is already good
as a hurdler and in the course of time

Abbott is an old-timer as a jumper,
even il he is a freshman, and viii al
ways be valuable to the college.

CHAMPION HOUNDS
in A RICH STAKE

the First Brace to Start
in the Grand National


The opening contest for the Grand
National coursing stake for greyhounds
has again been postponed, this time to
April 10. The pair to start on that day
will be Palo Alto and Pocatelli. The
two great coursers have been in train
ing for some time and are pronounced
in great trim by their handlers.
The committee in charge of the stake
has selected the eight greyhounds
which will start. They will probably be
matched as follows: Pocatelli VS.. Palo
Alto, Full Moon VS.. Silver Heels,
Rector VS.. Rubber Ankles, Fair
Tralee VS.. New Home Boy. The fore
going pairing has not been definitely
settled with the exception of Palo Alto
and .Pocatelli. They will surely meet.
The intention has been to pair off the
dogs which are evenly matched in
speed.
The card at Union Coursing Park to-
morrow Will be made up of "a sixty
four-deg reserve stake. The coursing
will commence. as usual, upon the ar
rival at the park of the 1915 o'clock
train. The likely winners in the first
round look to be:
John. Heenan. McVey Racing Auto. Hudson
Coiored Lady. Cubanola Tralee Boy. Apple

Preside Athletic Grounds will be the

most important game Of the association
football season tomorrow, when the
Thistles meet the Independents in the
final round for the California Union

the following order:
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-26

notes Of preparation are heard in all
the kennels. The sporting dogs, the
grim visaged bulldogs, the snappy ter
riers and the ponderous st. Bernards
are all being carefully groomed and
exercised in view of the annual Kennel
Club exhibition. Entries will close next
Saturday and the show will open in
Mechanics Pavilion on April 49,
The plszes, which are on exhibition
at Shreve's, are of sufficient variety
and value to arouse the sporting in
stincts of any dog owner.
The bull terrier class is expected to
be unusually strong, as many high
class specimens of the breed have been
brought here since the last show.
Pointers and settlers have been favored
more than in former years, cups and
trophies Of the value of $500 being Of
fered in these classes. In the miscel-
laneous class L. II. Wagner of Berke-
ley will show five long haired Chihua-
hua dogs, a breed never before shown
on this coast
It'is expected there will be a strong
class of st. Bernards. Among the new
ones will be Marquis Nelson, imported
by E. D. Strauss from St Gothard,
Switzerland. The dog weighs PIG
pounds.
c. K. Harley's string of prize win
ming fox terriers arrived some days
since from the East. This was the
strongest kennel in class of it's kind on
the big Eastern circuit.
The, Beach Hill Kennels of San Jose
viii show Champion Hanover Monarch,
one of the finest collies in the coun-
try. He. has won sixteen first prizes
and numerous specials in competition
at the Eastern shows.
Richard J.rJose has entered his Bos-
ton terrier, Boston Jack. This is a
popular breed here and will be well
represented. -,

lnclement Weather Interferes Sadly
With Their Preparations
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March
25.-Never in the history Of athletics
at Stanford has the work on track and
diamond been interfered with by the
islc{emency Of weather as il has been
this year. Only the back stretch of
the cinder path has been available for
work by the track men, while every
other day the diamond has been so
muddy that the ball tossers could not
step on it without sinking ankle deep.
However, the varsity nine, notwith-
standing adverse conditions, continues
10 make a good showing in practice.
Coach Charles Doyle left the first Of
the week 10 accept a position in the
Montreal team Of the Canadian league
His duties have fallen largely upon
the shoulders Of Treasurer Dave Cow
den Of the Associated Students. who
for four years played star game for
-sne Stanford varsity. James T. Lana
gan, '00. who so successfully coached
the football eleven last fall, will take
charge Of the varsity nine whenever
he is able TO leave his work at Bel
mont and spend the afternoon at the
university. He knows the national
game from start TO finish and is an
excellent coach. While in college he
made his IS" as varsity pitcher.
The Stanford students are hoping
against all indications to the contrary
that next week may bring dry weather
IN order that the varsity nine NAV
round into form for its first game with
California, which will occur on the
Berkeley campus on Saturday, April
:, one week from tomorrow
It is possible the track men will take
10 the old racing track on the Palo
Alto Stock Farm as a substitute for
the varsity cinder path, which at pres
ent is in a deplorable condition. The
stock farm track is elevated so that
the water drains from it and it is in
fairly good condition. Captain Holman
thinks this plan a feasible way of OH
waiting the present difficulties.
+. On Monday next a training table will
3 be established at the Stanford Inn for
the track men. The star men of the
squad viii take their meals there reg
ularly until the day Of the intercolle-
giate field day with Berkeley.
The most brilliant work on the feld
has been that Of Norman Dole 'o4 in
the pole vault. His recent vault of -
1eet<s4 inch may be taken as a prog
nOsticstion that he will be the worlds
champion pole vaulter before the end
Of the season.

GOLFERS ABANDON
SCHEDULED GAMES
Condition of Preside Links
Forces the PostpOnement
of WOmen's Championship

The fourth annual competition for
the womens championship Of the Pa
cific Coast Golf Association was set
down TO take place on the San Fran
cisco links on April II, 13, ii and 10.
The Presidio course is in so poor con-
dition that it has been deemed advis-
able to defer the contest. r. Gilman
Brown. secretary of the Pacific Coast
Golf Association, announces that the
competition viii probably be held in
I August on the Del Monte links.
A handicap over eighteen holes. medal
play. was On the schedule of the Wo-
mems Annex of the San Francisco Golf
Club for Tuesday morning, but no COM
petition took place. 1t was expected
the. ladies would hold one more COM
petition for the Councils cup before
the close of the present season. as only
two contests have been held for the
trophy during the last six months. 1t
is probable, however, that this COM
petition will be given up on account of
the condition of the Presidio links.
The qualifying round of competi-
ton for the Councils cup for men on
the schedule of the San Francisco Golf
Club fer this afternoon has been called
off, 1t seems that golf playing is prac-
tically at an end so far as the San
Francisco Club members are concerned
until new course can be secured and
laid out. This will be an affair of
months.
