POLICEMAN HICKS MISSES
THE POINTS OF COMPASS

Policeman Hicks on his vacation
tour took to the tall timbers of Ore
gon. According to his story he lived
on raw sugar pine for several days
when lost in a forest. There were
neither peanut stands nor corner gro
ceries in the wilderness and Hicks
came near leaving his bones there.
While hunting with a webfOoter
Hicks lost his bearings and there were
no landmarks like the Call building
to guide him.
He wandered about the thickIy
wooded country until his friends
found him two days later in an almost
famished condition. When conducted
to running stream by his rescuers
he madly plunged into it and it re-
quired two men to prevent him from
killing himself by drinking too much
water. He says the next time he goes
hunting in Oregon he will keep in
the middle of the road.

MODEL YACHTING
GROWS POPULAR
Sailors Of Miniature Craft
Want a Clubhouse Close
to Scene of Their Races

Model yachting is a pastime that is
becoming very popular and attracts
many spectators on Sunday after
Moons. In fact, the crowd Of onlookers
of late has been so large that they
have crowded the path reserved for the
sailors and made il difficult at times
for the latter to conduct the races.
The yacht owners. however, are not
meeting with the difficulties on the new
lake that they did on Stow Lake. The
races are much more satisfactory and
the time faster.
The only thing needed by the owners
of the miniatures is a clubhouse near
Spreckels Lake. Some of the boats are
kept in a shed several blocks from the
lake, but this does not give the salts
faction a clubhouse on the banks of
the lake would. Those who carry their
boats TO the lake each Sunday are able
to enter but one boat and considerable
difficulty is experienced in getting the
boats to the lake owing to the crowded
condition of the street cars. The clubs
subscription list is growing and before
another year has passed the new club
house will be a reality.
The club at present is experiencing
considerable difficulty in framing set
of rules to govern racing that will be
satisfactory to all The rules as set
forth in the bylaws have not proved
entirely satisfactory. w. B. Golfers
new set of rules will be tried for three
Sundays and if they meet with the ap-
proval of the boat owners they will no
doubt be adopted. Under the club
rules the boats finishing first and sec
ond in a heat qualify for the semi
finals Golfers idea is to allow boat
to race until it has been defeated three
times, when it shall be dropped from
competition. In this way the boats will
narrow down to two in the finals. One
of these must defeat the other three
times before it is declared winner.
The chief objection to Golfers meth
cd is that it will be impossible to finish
a race III day. Many claim that with
twenty or more boats entered ii would
be out of the question to dispose of
them all in a single day. To test this
the club members have been requested
to bring as many yachts as possible
to the lake on the next three Sundays.
If the rules stand the test and the
races are completed in a day they
should be adopted, as they lessen the
element of luck and the winner gets
the pennant strictly on merit The
new rules affect only Sunday pennant
races.
An effort is being made to postpone
the regatta, which, according to the
bylaws, must be held on the second
Sunday in August. Lawrence Adams,
the club measurer, says it will be i'm
possible for him to measure all of the
models in time to race them on the
second Sunday in August All boats

YOUNG PITCHERS
ALL MAKE GOOD
Overall, Hall, Buchanan,
Keefe and Baum Show the
Fans That They Can Twirl

The baseball season of 1904 on the
Pacific Coast has been remarkable for
the number of young pitchers who
have been tried out and found to be
there with everything that goes to be-
wilder the best batsmen in these parts
In fact, the youngsters made even bet
ter records than the seasoned slab ar
lists who have twirled in many climes
and against the best stickers the game
has ever produced.
Among the youngsters who are shin
ing brightly at the present time is Or
val Overall, the giant from Berkeley
who has done much to elevate the
standing of Tacoma. "Ovie" did not
make brilliant start, but when he got
into the going he showed 'em all that
he had the goods and was one of those
slabsters who is always willing to de-
liver them.
Bobby Keefe, the Santa Clara lad
Is another wiz who has set the fans
talking about him. Though slight of
build and meek of manner the young
ster possesses a wonderful faculty for
fooling batsmen and barring a little
wildness at times his work this sea-
son has been well nigh perfect.
Jimmy Buchanan, the huge Texan
on Peter Lohman's staff, is voted by
a vast army of fans the best pitcher
in this league. He is certainly the
steadiest and the coolest 1t is his
magnificent work that has kept the
Commuters from sliding to the bottom
His record of twelve straight victories
bids fair to stand for the balance of
the season. This is Buchanan's second
year in professional company and he
should make the big league next sea-
son.
Charlie Hall. the lad from Ventura.
came to Parke Wilson unheraIded and
practically unknown, but now he can
get job on any mans ball team He
stands second in games won at the
present time and were it not for him
Seattle would never have the honor of
being second in the chase after the
flag.
And then comes Charlie Baum of
Los Angeles, another youngster who
has been overlooked for a long time.
Baum suffered more hard luck than
any other slab artist in this or any
other league, but even at that, he sue
ceeded in getting away with a goodly
percent of his games. Baum has them
all beat in throwing curved balls and
is possessed of one of the prettiest de-
liveries in the league.
Dick Williams has not been right this
season. He never seemed to strike his
gait and has failed utterly to show
his worth. His best work was done
at the opening of the season, but since
that time he has apparently lost his
speed and cunning.

GROCERS PREPARE FOR
AN OUTING IN AUGUST
Many Prizes Are TO Be Awarded-New
Officers Are Elected
for Year.

"Grocers day." which for thirty
three years has been celebrated in
May, will this year be celebrated
Wednesday, August 10. The grocers
of San Francisco were devoting their
energies to entertaining the National
Grocers' Association and in holding
pure food show at the time usually
devoted to their annual celebration,
which was the cause of it's postpone
ment The interest engendered by
their successful exposition at Mechan-
les Pavilion has aroused much en-
thusiasm among the retail grocers and
as consequence even greater interest
than usual is being taken in their out
ing.
At the annual meeting of the organ
ization held recently the following Of
ficers were elected by the retail gro
GERS to serve until July, 1905:
President, j. Solomon; vice presi-
dent, Frank B. Connolly; directors, E..
A. Lackmann. Herman Methmann, j..
P. Mcclure, George B. Doyle, William
Ring, j. T. Hurley j. M. Sullivan,
Henry Wreden and Henry Rave; Sec
retary, Fred Kruger.
The grocers of San Francisco are
now united in one strong organization,
which has over 500 members. The
wholesale trade has already contrib
uted numerous articles to be used as
prizes at their outing and practically
all the groceries of the city will be
closed when the great day arrives.

The Corinthian fleet has a cruise to
Paradise Cove on hand for tonight,
returning tomorrow Next Sunday
the COrinthian Yacht Club will hold it's
annual handicap race in cruising rig
under the management of the regatta
committee, T. J. Kavanaugh, James X.
Bulger and Douglas Erskine. 1t will
be non-Owners' day at the clubhouse.
The annual race for the Wallace
trophy having been held last Sunday,
to-day and tomorrow are open dates
on the programme of the California
Yacht Club. On Saturday, July %. sew
eral of the Oakland Creek yachts will
start on weeks cruise up the Sacra-
mentO River.
The regatta committee of the Cali
fornia Yacht Club, acting under article
20 of the bylaws of the Pacific Inter-
club Yacht Association, which govern
the club races, has ruled that the eIev-
enth annual class flag regatta and
Owners Cup race, sailed on Sunday,
June 49, be resailed over the same
course on Sunday, August 2S. The en-
trance fees paid for the race on June
10 will be returned.
Though a fair steady breeze blew
Saturday afternoon for the race for the
Perpetual Challange cup, the general
opinion among yachtsmen is that the
trial was inconclusive. The Corinth-
ians think that the Corinthian would
have done better in a stronger breeze
and the San Francisco yachtsmen. are
decidedly of the opinion that a heavy
wind would have brought the Chal-
leHSSI nOLle a winner. All agree that
the Challenger is remarkably fast and
able boat. She will certainly be the
San Francisco clubs representative in
next years race for the Perpetual
Challenge cup. 1t is not so certain,
however, that the Corinthian will be
the defender of the trophy. When it is
considered that the Corinthian is four
teen feet longer over all than the Chal-
lenger and carried nearly 200 square
feet more canvas, she ought to beat
the Challenger by a more decisive mar
gin than forty-one seconds. Even un-
der the conditions of last Saturdays
race, one well-known racing yachts
man said that the Challenger might
have won if she had crossed the start
ing line first and luffed the Corinth-
ian out to windward on the reach to
the leeward stakebOat.
There are some yachtsmen who say
that more speed could have, been got
out of the Challenger If her light sails
had been handled more smartly.
