emblem Of 1904 can be foreseen pretty
accurately already
If 1t should be found possible to make
provision for cricket on the tract OF
land to be taken up by the San Fran
cisco Golf Club the British game would
receive the greatest impetus it has ever
had in the Pacific States. A good
ground with attractive surroundings,
where it is possible to have a turfed
pitch, would attract many lovers of
cricket who do not care for the game
under present conditions. 1t is prob
able the directors of the golf club, IL it
should be found practicable, would sub
let the necessary area to the cricketers
on long lease on favorable terms.
Since many of the cricketers would not
be prepared to become members of the
golf club it would be necessary for the
cricketers 10 erect their own pavilion.
1t has been suggested on several occa-
sions that the cricketers of San Fran
cisco and neighborhood should en-
deavor to secure ground and pavilion
of their own, and certain locations have
been looked at, but nothing has result
ed from the suggestions. The present
is an oDportune moment for revival
OF the effort to establish cricket on a
satisfactory footing in San Francisco
and vicinity. ground on this side of
the bay would not be so convenient to
Alameda County residents as the pres
ent ground, but it would tend to the
general betterment of the game.

TEAMS ARE FORMED
FOR TENNIS PLAY
Handicap, Doubles Tourna-
ments Are Announced by
Both Clubs in This City

The Golden Gate Tennis Club wilt
hold a handicap doubles tournament
tomorrow on the park courts It is
one of a series for the silver loving
cups which are to be won three times
by the same team. The trophies have
been played for about two years and
no team at present playing has won
them more than once.
They were won twice by the Hotch-
kiss brothers-Homer and Marius-
but the former is in South Africa and
no longer plays. The cups have been
won once by the following teams:
Harry Routh and Charles Dunlap,
Church and Mckay, Grant Smith and
Will Allen, r. n. Whitney and J. F.
Brady, Baker brothers and Brabant
and Palmer. The last named team
won the trophies last and are in pos
session of them at present.
OF these teams but one is still in
the race. This team is the Baker
brothers, and the trophies will proba-
bly, go to them ultimately.
Many of the old teams have drop
ped out and their places have been
probably play with Drummond Mac
Gavin. They played together in the
last event of this kind, but were not
successful. They will probably allow
the Baker brothers a slight handicap.
The California Tennis Club will hold
a similar tournament one week later.
This event will be for the directors
cups, which have been competed for
four times. They have been won by
the following teams in the order
named: Will Allen and DR.. H. P.
Hill, Grant and Chester Smith, Her
bert Schmidt and Harry Rolfe. VIII
Allen and Tracy Crawford. The two
last named teams are the only ones of
the four now playing for the cups. DR..
Hill will in future play with DR.. Nc
Chesney. The win of Allen and Hill
will not count for either of them.
Grant Smith has dropped out and his
brother will join forces with Sidney
Salisbury. Young Smith has tried his
luck with both Mitchell and Collier,
but these teams did not meet with
success. Smith and Salisbury should
make a good team.
McChesney and Hill will also be
hard team to beat.
The fair players from the two uni
versities caused quite surprise by
the excellent tennis they played in the
second annual contest The best play
ers in the central and northern part
of the State were pitted against each
other and the tennis had more class
than most womens events. Miss
Radcliffe and Miss Edwards are proba-
bly, the best players outside of the
Southern California champions. De-
spite this fact the inexperienced Stan
ford girls made a good showing. They
easily held their own in the doubles
and although the scores in singles
were one-sided the Stanford players
were not outclassed.

CITY GOLF CLUB
SEEKS NEW LINKS
Country Club With Polo
and Other Out of-Door
Recreation Is Projected

AT a general meeting of the members
of the San Francisco Golf Club held
last Saturday in this city it was de-
cided to incorporate. The club has con-
cluded to abandon the attempt to
keep the course on the Presidio reser-
walton in suitable condition for golf
and is seeking pastures new. The com
mittee appointed to select a new loca-
ton consists of r. j. Woods. S. c..
Ruckbee, H. NJ. Hoyt and Warren
Gregory.
During the week the committee has
been examining q tract at Ingleside
near Lake Merced. This is the prop
erty of the Spring Valley Water Com
pany, which is desirous to have the
golfers located on its ground that they
may aid in the task of keeping tres
passers out. Tomorrow the COMMITTEES
will go over the tract of land suggest
ed in company with w. Schussler. chief
engineer of the Spring Valley Water
Company. Robert Johnstone, the pro-
fessionaI of the San Francisco Golf
Club. thinks well of the tract and has
expressed the opinion that good turf
can be grown upon it. The committee
has professionally laid out an eighteen
hole course from rougn plan that has
been prepared of the tract
Inasmuch as the Spring Valley Wafer
Company will not permit the golf club
to erect house upon the ground. it
will be necessary for the club to pur-
chase some land adjacent to the pro-
posed tract on which to build. A suit
able piece of land owned by President
T. II. Williams of the New California
Jockey Club is available and it is un-
derstood arrangements can be made to
purchase any quantity that may be de-
sired up to twenty acres.
1t is the intention of the golf club to
provide facilities not only for golf but
also for lawn tennis, polo and other
sports, to establish a country club in
fact. 1t has been suggested that pro-
vision might be made for cricket
ground also.
The annual tournament for the
championship of the Northern Califor-
MIA Golf Association for the coming
year, which was to have been held on
the Presidio links, will take place on
the course of the San Rafael Golf Club
on Saturday, May z. Play will begin at
8 a. m. promptly and will be over

ATHLETES EAGER
FOR COMPETITION
FleeteSt Sprinters and Best
Jumpers Are Entered for
Field Day at Berkeley

Both of the newly elected track cap
tains of Stanford University and of the
University of California will start in
the Worlds Fair field day this after
noon at Berkeley oval. Captain Bell
of Stanford will contest in both the
high and broad jumps and the pole
vault. 1t has been the custom TO elect
sprihter TO take charge of the team,
but Bell was chosen on account of
personal popularity with the men and
because of his executive ability. Cap
tain Roy Hackley of the University of
California is entered in the mile run.
He has asked the Pacific Athletic As
sociation officials to put on a special
two mile race so that he may try for
the coast record. He won the inter
collegiate event at that distance last
week and is confidant he can lower the
mark of ten minutes ten seconds made
by Hunter of the Olympic Club many
years ago. The request has been
granted and a two mile event has been
added to the programme In order
that the new record may stand, if
lowered, the association has made this
an open event with entries to close at
the track.
Trainer Walter Christie of Berkeley
has been in charge of the cinder path
for the last week and has worked it
into fire shape. He reported yester-
day that the recent rains had made
the course fast and it would be no
fault of the track if some records
did not suffer to-day. II has been
whispered about that there is an ex-
cellent chance for one of the sprinters
in the hundred-yard dash to equal
Duffey's worlds mark of 3-5 sec
onds this afternoon. Tony Cadogan is
running in grand form and is equal
to the trick under favorable auspices
if his leg holds up under him. He
ran a close fourth to Duffey at Mott
Haven two years ago when that per-
formance was made. Emil Abadie
and o. T. Snedigar are also sprinting
at their best notch. 1t is a tight fit
between this pair as spectators may
vouch who saw Abadie win by cou-
pie of inches in a trial between them.
Parsons of Southern California, Frie-
sell and Steckell of Nevada and Cope
of Lick also have~great chances in
this race, which should pe the best
ever run at the distance in California.
Never before have so many attract
i've features been crowded into one
athletic event. The prospects of close
contests in every number on the card
is bright. The intercollege rivalry be-
tween Stanford and Berkeley lends an
added charm and the fight for su-
premacy against both by the Academic
Athletic League lads and Independent
athletes against both throws a glamor
over the whole affair. Only the best
men in their lines have sent in en-
tries and the winners will be entitled
to the trip planned for them to rep
resent the coast at the Olympian
games in st. Louis.
Owing to delinquencies of the mails
three entries were omitted in the orig
inal list. West. Stanfords broad
jump winner. will be among the leap
ers and Claude Kern and Harry Dane
of the University of California will
sprint for glory in the quarter mile
race.

CARDINAL MEN CONFIDENT.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. April
pa feeling of confidence prevails
among the members of the Stanford
team and among it's supporters at col
lege that the baseball game tomorrow
will result in victory for the car
dinaL The men have been practicing
faithfully since they defeated Califor-
MIA two weeks ago and have improved
both in fielding and batting. In the
numerous practice games that have
been played during this time the var
sity has never failed to make a credit
able showing.
The lineup tomorrow will be the
same as in the last game with Berke-
ley. which was as follows: Catcher,
Ball; pitcher, Sales; first base. Colbert:
second base, Williams; third base
Swain; shortstop, Trowbridge; left
field, Chalmers; center field, Writ:
right field. Knight.
Sales has been pitching in fine form
and is expected to repeat his work in
the last intercollegiate game. How
ever, he had a finger hurt in a prac-
tice game on Thursday that may inter-
fere slightly with his pitching. Tritch
will be Sales substitute and should oc-
casion call for his going into the box
he can be depended upon to give a.
good account Of himself. The best
showing he has made this year was
in the game with the Presidio nine
last Saturday, when he pitched gilt
edge ball, having the soldiers com
pletely at his mercy.

PLAYERS READY
FOR FINAL GAME
Berkeley Baseball Men Feel
Gloomy Over Prospects,
While Stanford Is Merry

BERKELEY, April 22.-Califor-
MAS baseball team cannot be said to
be in the best shape for the final
championship game with Stanford to-
morrow afternoon at Idora Park. Cap
tain Adams is suffering from a
wrenched ankle and Ham Hamilton
has just got out Of a sick bed after a
five days siege and things look rather
blue for the pets of the Berkeley cam
pus. 1t is fairly certain that Adams
viii go in and hold up his end at short
but about Hamilton there will be
doubt up to the last minute. If the
team loses either of the players it will
be badly crippled. as there are none
to take their places. In case one of
the two cannot play utility man Gum
will be used to cover the ground.
Otherwise the team is all right and
prepared to put up a stiff battle. Heit-
muller will pitch, Bliss will catch and
the others will hold down their reg
ular places-Graham at first, Gillis at
second, Strub at third, Sweesy in CEN
ter and Wulzen in right.
There was some talk Of substitut-
ing Strub for Heitmuller in the pitch
At least, il won't be done unless Heit-
muller is touched up too often. In
that case Heitmuller Will go TO center
in place of Sweesy and Gum will take
Shrubs place at third.
The threatening condition of the
weather makes it probable that the
game will be postponed. The new
grounds at Idora Park will not stand
much water and another shower such
as occurred last night will render
playing almost impossible. The col
lege men practiced on the grounds this
afternoon and they found them none
too good then.
After the game the team will go TO
San Francisco to spend the evening.
A banquet will be held first in down.
town restaurant and afterward a cap
tain for next years team will be Sc
lected. Heitmuller will probably be
chosen. If he does not get the honor
Bliss will.

Lead Pencil wood.

The cedar used In the manufacture
of pencils in this country is that which
grows in Florida, the common red
cedar with shreddy bark and aromatic
heartwood. The wood is shipped from
Florida in small slabs, little longer
than a pencil, little wider than four
or six pencils placed side by side and
of proper thickness.
The cedar case Of pencil is made
in halves, each half being equally
channeled, so that the place where
they join comes against the center of
the lead.
First we have the slab of wood as It
is shipped from Florida. This slab is
passed under a rotary cutter, which
planes the surface perfectly fat and
smooth and at the same time grooves
1t to receive six leads. These leads are
now laid in the grooves of one of these
slabs, and another slab, similarly
planed and grooved, is spread with glue
and laid upon it. The two thus put
together are placed in press and
when perfectly dry are taken out and
passed twice under u grooved rotary
cutter, first on one side, rounding one
half of the pencil, and then on the 9th.
er, finishing the rounding of the whole
pencil and separating one from the
other at the same time.
These single pencils are then passed
through other machines which polish,
varnish, stamp and put them in cases,
ready for delivery to the trade.

knew-how well she knew it,

Polly bent forward with smile that
even Tommy could not resist. He open
ed the little old treasure box, emptied
Its contents into her lap and beat a
retreat.
Polly looked at the little heap. They
were far from campaign trophies. Her
lips twitched at sight of a rude little
heart carved from a peach stone. Such
a tiny thing to sweep the past wide
open! Below the heart was a cheap,
worn copy Of Lucille" There had been
other and costlier "Luciles," but never
another like that.

"She isn't mine, Polly. The evil hour

Polly, but we are not vanquished.
You'll look like beautiful birthday

The train came on. 1t pulled and
snorted as 1t climbed, and the little
hills rumbled and grumbled in answer.
The man looked down at the quiet
figure and stopped and touched the
