Predicted Japanese Supremacy Nearly
One Hundred Years Ago.

One Hundred Years Ago.
New York Times That the Japa-
nese would bone day be rulers of the
ocean coast of Asia is the prediction
made almost a century ago in the book
Of a Russian naval observer, whose
prophesy seems NOT unlikely of fulfll-
ment at the present time. In 1871 Cap
tain Vasill Golawin OF the imperial
navy was instructed to cruise along
the coral archipelagoes of the Pacific
to ascertain which Of these were in
habited by the Japanese, and accord
ingly he set sail from ODESSA in the
Diana, arriving some two months later
of the coast OF Yezo. but one or two
copies of Captain Golawin's book are
extant, one OF them being in the library
OF the winter palace at st. Petersburg.
Published in 1915, Captain lola

interesting light upon the physical and
moral characteristics of the Japanese
nation lit a time when little If anything,
definite was known by Europeans
particularly In Russia-of the traits of
the Monaghan island people. OF the
observations contained in Captain
GoIawin's book, the following are OF
current interest. II praise the Japa-
nese for their skill. They Will one day

their bill, and resumed their journey.
In a lonely, quiet place, the younger
of the two stopped and gave a loud
laugh.

Fans for soldiers seem an anomaly,
particularly for soldiers so far removed
from suspicion Of efficiency as the
japanese. The fans and tea kettles
dangling from saddles and from sol-
dIers' packs have surprised some of the
conservative European attaches.
Another souvenir of home life which
the soldiers have brought into Man-

ATHLETES WILL
TRY FOR HONOR
Prospects for the Greatest
Field Day Ever Held on
the Coast Are Very Bright
WINNERS TO GO TO FAIR
Genuine Contest Is Expect
ed in Every One of the
Twelve Events on the Card
WINNERS TO GO TO FAIR

The special games committee of the
Pacific Athletic Association has whip
ped it's affairs into shape, and the
prospects for the greatest field day
ever held on the Pacific Coast are
very bright. Herbert Hauser, George
James and D. E. Brown are acting on
this committee, and they have arranged
for the final try-outs to select team
to go to the Worlds Fair at st. Louis
in the fall. This event will take place
on Saturday next on the Berkeley oval,
and the entries received presage gen.
uine contest in every one of the twelve
events carded.
In many events of a similar nature
there are many athletes entered who
simply go to swell the number and
have no legitimate chance to finish
first. Now it is different. There was
nc restriction placed on the conditions
to govern. Any that cared to try was
welcomed, but it has so happened that
only the cream of the talent cared to
take their chances this time, and the
result is apparent in the entry lists.
From all over this State and Nevada
the best sprinters, jumpers and mus
cular giants are coming to fight for a
place on the team. There is world
of talent in each event, and the win
ner will be welcome to journey to the
Olympian games, because he will be
the best amateur in his class in the
Golden West.
There is special delight among the
preparatory schools because their
fov0ritoc will bova on opportuuifu m
clash with representatives of Stanford
and Berkeley. In academic circles
there have been frequent performances
of more merit than was evidenced in
the last intercollegiate field day, and
the younger boys are feverishly await
ing the trials when they may face the
sprinters and jumpers from the big
colleges. In more than one instance
they seem to have good chance to
snatch the laurels from their elders,
and even the great Abadie may fall be-
fore Cope, the Lick champion, at the
100-yard dash. If Cope fails there is
yet the clever sprinter Cadogan to ac-
count for, and Abadie may have to go
under 10 seconds to retain his place on
the team. The same may be said of
Stanford's crack, Dunn. In the 220-
yard dash and the Quarter-mile sprint
Cadogan must be looked after, with
string of lesser lights, from local
schools as dangerous factors.
The Nevada State University will
have team on hand; Bakersfield High
School will send it's champion; two
great athletes are due from Southern
California and Santa Clara High
School will have its colors in several
contests With all the local wonders
in line, the affair will be of great in
terest apart from the prize trip the
boys are seeking. A full list of entries
will be given out Wednesday.

FIGHT BETWEEN TURNER
AND CORDELL POSTPONED
Wednesday, April %, Set for Second
Meeting of These Two
ROxerS

The Reliance Club has changed the
date of its big double card from Fri
day of next week to Wednesday night,
April 81, owing to conflict of dates
with the Colma Club. This was decid-
ed upon yesterday when the boxers
were consulted by wire or in person.
There was no dissenting voice and
Matchmaker George Mahoney made
the change. Rufe Turner and Jack
COrdell viii again hold the center of
the stage in the wind-up. The white
lad was not satisfied with the result
Of the last encounter and asked for a
second meeting, which was readily
granted by the club. In order to give
the affair a double importance Rube
Smith and George Brown were signed
TO go the same number of rounds as
the main event-fifteen. 1t will be a
winner-take-all proposition, with a
$3.50 side bet Brown saw Smith beat
Mcconnell and is satisfied with the
arrangement imposed by the Denver
ite. Brown has beaten Mcconnell
twice and thinks that Smith will be
no harder for him.

DORMANT PLANS
Are VITALIZED
Athletic Field Designed in
the Seventies to Find a
Duplicate in Park Grounds
FUND RAPIDLY GROWS
Citizens Subscribe Many
Thousands Toward Speed
Track and Amphitheater

The late Horace Fletcher. a well
known member OF the Olympic Club
and an enthusiast on athletics, was
the designer in 1873 Of a great ath-
:letic field TO be built on the site after
ward occupied by the Bay District
track. Now the plans Of Mr.. Fletcher
ere just about to be realized in the
smphitheater and speed track in
Golden Gate Park. for which the
sportsmen OF San Francisco are la
boring so faithfully. The old plans
covered a wider scope. for they were
intended 70 take in every amateur
sport played. IN the United States.
The old plans provided for a mile
race track surrounding ball, field, ten
;nis courts, bicycle track and every
conceivable arrangement for further
ance Of good sport. II was the inten-
ton Of the Southern Pacific Company
70 foster the scheme at that time, but
a number Of complications arose and
Il was abandoned. To-day the affair
Is about 10 be consummated in an
other form.
The fund for which the Amateur
Driving and Athletic Association is
working was augmented yesterday to
Ithe extent OF something like S2500 by
president Simpsons special commit
tee, appointed to call on prominent
,xersons and corporations. Most of this
amount was culled from the real es-
tate dealers, who appreciate the ben
left TO be derived from a public prof.
ect OF such proportions. Throughout
the week this committee Will continue
its canvass.
The amount subscribed is now near
sly $4,000 and the sum needed is only
$4,000 over that figure. With the
tnew blood interested among the anna
teur athletes it appears but a matter
OF g couple of weeks when the asso-
:ciation may go to the Park Commits
sion and turn over the whole sum nee
essary for the success of the plan.
