THISTLES PLAY
FOOTBALL GAME
League Champions to En-
gage in Friendly Contest
on st. Matthew's Ground

On the ground of ST. Matthew's
School, San Mateo, the ThistIes, win
ners of the championship of the Cali
fornia Association Football League for
10000. will play a friendly match this
afternoon against a team of Oakland
Hornets
The players will start by the electric
car leaving the corner of Fifth and
Market streets at las D. m.
The ball will be put into play as soon
as practicable after the arrival of the
footballers at San Mateo. The direc-
tors of the league wish to give the
boys of the preparatory school a sam
pie of the game, in the nope that it
may be taken up as an alternative to
the intercollegiate game by boys who
lack the necessary weight
Now that all the matches have been
played for the championship of the
California Association Football League,
the Oakland Hornets rank fifth in the
table Of results, next below the AL.
bion Rovers and above the Occidentals
and Pickwicks Had the Hornets lost
their last match against the PickwickS
they would have dropped to last place
on the list The Hornets victory last
Sunday by the wide margin of IL goals
to brought them up to fifth place.
Although their score by points is the
same as the Credentials score, their
goal average is better, the Hornets hav-
ing had not quite one and a half times
as many goals made against as for
them. The Occidentals have had their
goal pierced three and a half times
as often as they have made goals
against their opponents.
Early in the season the Thistles set
tied on their team and kept it I'M
changed until the last two weeks of
March, when r. A. Disher, playing on
the Idora Park ground, injured his leg
so that he was compelled to retire from
the team in the last two matches. The
Thistles have several good individual
players, the three Dishers in the for
ward line, Duncan and Taylor in the
halfback line and T. S. Lydon as CEN
ter forward being specially useful.
In the final match for the California
Association Football Union cup the In
dependents beat the Thistles goals
to 1, the winning goal being scored by
the Independents in the last three or
four minutes The ground was covered
with water and slushy mud and seemed
to suit the Independents better than
the Thistles. For the Independents the
three Fay brothers rendered invaluable
service They have been picked to play
for the combined eleven against the
league champions on April "a at San
Jose.
The standing of the teams for the
season is shown in the table:

any other for a good many years. The
run has been especially good in San
Lorenzo River and in Scott and Wad-
dell creeks. To verify my own obser-
vations the people who live along these
streams inform me that not in twenty
years have they seen so many fish as
they have this winter When I say
that trout fishing should be good in
San Lorenzo River, that means it
should be good in Bear, Deer. Kings,
TWO Bar, Boulder and Jameson creeks.
Tor all these streams are tributaries Of
the San Lorenzo. These streams are
all easily reached from. the town of
Boulder Creek, the distance from the
town to the farthest creek being only
a little over an hours walk. A person
desiring a days sport cannot miss it if
he fishes either in Scott or Waddell
creeks. When 1 visited those streams
three days ago, besides the eight and
ten pound fish 1 saw a great number
that would scale from one half to two
pounds. The San Vicente. Sequel and
'Aptos creeks are also splendid trout
streams, and the fisherman that visits
either is reasonably sure of a we'll

Conditions Prove UnfavorabIe Paper Mill Greek
Few Trout Being Taken From his Stream.

Although the trout streams OF the
coast were thrown open to the anglers
yesterday under the State law. COM
paratively few. fish were taken. The
Paper Mill Creek, being the most ac-
cessible to the sDortsmen of this city,
attracted the usual opening day crowd.
AS was expected, the returns were
small, the stream being unusually high
and muddy, If the weather remains
clear the fishing will be good by the
middle of next week, but each sue

good sport will be- assured.
W. Halstead is credited with having
caught the largest fish yesterdays
twelve-inch steelhead. The majority of
the fish taken were of small size.
The heavy rains of the past two
months will make this a late season,
but when fishing does begin in earnest
great sport is promised. The high
water has allowed the steelheads to
run up higher on the streams and in
greater numbers than in many years.
1t has also protected the fish from
poachers and from the depredations of
larger fish.
All the coast streams and the lakes

and streams of the Sierras have been
affected by the late season. 1t is the
opinion Of experts that there will be
no flyfishing on the coast streams I'M
til May 1. AS there is a lot Of snow on
the mountains at present the f1yfishing
will not be good there until early in
June. The Truckee will not be avail
able for fyfishing until still later.
Until the big streams settle the only
fishing will be well UP the small tribu-
taries, where salmon roe and angle
worms will prove the best lure.
The fishing prospects on the klamath
River are unusually promising. Rain
bow trout have been going up Shovel
Creek in immense numbers. All the
tributaries of the klamath are report
ed teenling with trout.
The market fishermen are already at
Independence Lake and will fish
through holes cut in the ice.

CARDINAL MEN ARE HOPEFUL
See No Reason Why Their Team
Should Not Win the First Game.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. April L.
After three months of hard practice
and constant coaching, Stanford viii
test her baseball team tomorrow
against the University of California
i'm the first of the series of intercolleg-
late games.
For the first time in several years
Stanford has a team which its adj
mirers think ought to defeat the
Berkeley nine. Throughout the long
season there have. been the usual ups
and downs. At times the cardinals
have played exceptional ball, and
again they have gone through a series
of dumb plays that would take the
heart out of any coach: But now the
team has rounded into shape. Char
ley Doyle led the men. through the
first months of training and at his de-
parture two weeks ago Jim" Lana
gan, last years football coach, took
his place. The change proved bene-
fetal. Besides putting on the finishing
touches that Doyle would have done;
flanagan has put a determined spirit
into the team that the former never
could have accomplished. And now
flanagan, sizing up the situation. says
he does not see why Stanford should
lose. r -
Tritch will probably pitch the hrst
game for the cardinal team. He
pitched in the last intercollegiate
game of last year and should prove
Heitmuller's superior. He has plenty
of speed and a delivery that is puz-
zlfng to a batter. His only weakness
is a tendency TO throw wild at times.
Ca plain Bruce Ball will gather in
Tritch's shoots. Ball played third
base on the varsity last year and was
regular catcher on the team three
years ago. He is sure and fairly fast;
while ne is one Of the best batters ON
the team.
Stanford's infiefd will be inexperi-
enced as far ais intercollegiate games
count, but it is the strongest part OF
the cardinal team and. should out
class that Of California in fielding.
williams at second is the only VET,
eran. lie played shortstop on last
years team and is a fast infielder.
Trowbridge will cover shortstop. He
played right field in one game last
year, but his real position is in. the
infield. Swain, a freshman, will gath
er in the difficult ones around third
base. Swain played on the Palo Alto
High School team for several years.
He has improved wonderfully on the
varsity squad, easily beating out ALL
competitors. First base will be held
down by Colbert, who played on the.
second team last year. He is a fair
fielder and a good hitter.
In the outfield Writ, in center. is F..

left field. He is freshman from
Portland, where he played in high
school. Sales will play right field. He
is substitute pitcher and will prob
ably pitch one of the games. in which
case Knight, a 1902 varsity right
fielder, will take his place.

finals.
In the upper half Will Allen should
win out easily. He plays III. Russell
and if he wins will then meet Charles
Dunlap. The winner will play Carl
Gardner in the semi-finals. MacGavin
holds the cup in this class.
Some matches have been played in
the second and third classes. Play will
be resumed in them tomorrow. The
finals of the fourth class will also be
played.

morrow. 1t is expected he will be de-
faulted, although his match could
easily be put over week. Consider
ing the number Of postponements and
the fact that the match between Mac
Gavin and Baker was postponed at the
request of the latter, it would be rather
severe on MacGavin to default him.
He had lead of set and 4-S in the
second when Baker broke his racket
and asked that the match be post
poned. The winner of this match will

AS usual, California has an album

Baker caused quite a surprise during
the week by beating Claude Wayne in
the finals of the college championship
tournament. After beating Variel-
6-1. e-1-Wayne was expected to beat
Baker handily. The latter's steady
game won him the tournament and a
place on the varsity team.

$4,500 for home worth only $3,500. These ugly figures did not startle me, so through mere persistence on my part we bought 1t and moved in. We paid the $50 every month and many a time we paid $75, and once $500 came to us through an unexpected source and we paid it, so at the end of eight years the home was ours, and in the last two years we have been able to spend $1,2oo in Improvements. It has seemed like Home ever since the trade was made. Jack has loved to fix 1t up. It has been happiness to him to play with it. For it has had Home" written all over 1t in red letters. When the last payment was made I had learned a little about fig ures myself and these are the figures I put to Jack:
 Tn these ten years we would have paid out S3.000 in rent at $25 a month So MT. Jack I won't allow you to put that in the cost of My" home. For that there would have been no return. So by my figures this pretty home that we love so well did not cost us but $l,500 as it stood and $2,700 with the $1,20O improvements.
 There you are. You living in a rented house at the end of ten years have paid $35 a month. just $4,20O for which you have nothing-absOlutely nothing; not even have your children the memory of a childhood home, but. only one of yearly moving times. I at the end of ten years have spent all told $5.700 and for it have one of the pret- tiest of homes. and my children have the memory of a home ever since they were born.
 None but the rich can afford to rent houses. The persons of moderate means should not indulge in putting out so much with no return"
