TROUT STRIKE
At THE FLIES
Streams Are Clearing I'm
der the Prevailing Favor
able Weather Conditions

With the continued clear weather the
trout streams within easy reach of this
city are clearing steadily, and the men
who scorn to use bait are taking good
baskets of fish on the more sportsman
like fly. The best results have been OBJ
tanned with the brown wing. royal
brown hackle. The small number II
hook is the most used.
Al Cumming. who knows the trout
streams of the high Sierras as it is
given few men to know them, Will leave
on the 23d inst. with party of friends
for the klamath River. Reports re-
ceived from there are to the effect that
the river is fast getting into shape for
fiyfishing. Mr.. Cummings has always
been successful there, especially on
Shovel Creek, which yields thousands
of rainbow trout to sportsmen each
year. This is one of the most prolific
streams in the State. The trip from
this city requires one days travel on
train and stage.
The Truckee is still high, although
some fish are being taken on salmon
roe. The fish are reported to average
smaller than those of last year. The
upper Sacramento and the McCloud are
reported in the same condition as the
Truckee. They will remain high for
some time.
Austin Creek, near Cazadero, should
afford good sport from now on. Many
large fish went up there to spawn last
winter.
Doc Watt, James Lynch and several
friends leave tonight for the Sur, near
Santa Cruz, where they expect some
good sport
Los Gatos Creek is said to be yield
ing good returns now. but the sport will
not last long, as this is an early stream.
The members of the San Francisco
Flycasting Club. the most famous or
ganization of its kind in the world. will
entertain DR.. Henry Van Dyke, the
famous Princeton scholar. at dinner on
Wednesday evening at the California
Hotel. Charles S. Wheeler Is at the
head of the committee having the af-
fair in charge. This means a flow of
wit and feast of reason, which will be
worth while. The name of that other
sage of Princeton. Grover Cleveland. an
honorary member of the club, will
evoke enthusiasm which will astonish
the honored guest of the evening
William Halstead went to Tocaloma,
on the Paper Mill. early in the week
and secured limit basket. His prize

Among the regulars on the stream last

STANFORD MEN ARE READY.
Are Confident of Winning the Big
Field Day ChampiOnship.

FiclQ Day championship.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April H.
The athletes who are to support the
colors of the cardinal in the intercol-
legiate track meet with the University
of California tomorrow afternoon are
all ready for the fray. Trainer Dad"
Moulton, who knows all of the tricks
of the training trade. has succeeded
in rounding the Stanford team into
superb shape. Every man." he said
tonight, is in trim to run the race
of his life. Unless there are some star
Ting surprises on the Berkeley side or
some sudden reversal of form among
our men, and I do not anticipate either,
l don't see how we can be prevented
er than ever because we have an even-
ly rounded team, although we have lost
scme of the stars of past years. The
Berkeley track will bother us a little,
but 1 do not think the final outcome
of the meet will be affected by it."
1t does seem the Berkeley cinder path
is the only thing that can possibly
defeat the cardinal team this year. The
track at Stanford, where the men have
spent the last six months Industrious
1y practicing, Is a quarter mile affair,
with the turns only slightly raised.
The blue and gold track, on the other
hand. is a short oval with high banks
on the turns. So troublesome are these
elevated curves to the uninitiated
sprinter that he must either slacken
his speed or run off into the ditch. 1t
is even a greater hardship on the hur-
dlers, who have to jump as well as
run. The Californians have the ad-

Northern Crew Is
Made Up of Sea-
SOned OarSmen

BERKELEY, April 1.-THE boat
race between the University of Wash
inston and the University of Califor-
MIA crews will be held tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock on the Oakland
estuary. The California crew be-
lieves it has genuinely hard propo-
sition on its hands to defeat the
northerners. If the brawny Washing
tonians are beaten Coach Garnett and
his young men will be entitled to
great deal of praise. 1t is the first
time in the history of the sport that
a regular coach has had charge of
rowing affairs here and the result of
his work will be watched with deep
interest by all who hope rowing will
take a prominent place among col
lege athletics. Garnetts men are all
In fine condition, have practiced faith
fully and will give good account of
themselves, win or lose.
The confidence that comes from
long line of victories buoys UP the
track team of the University of Cali
fornla on the eve of the annual strug-
gle with Stanford for track and field
honors. Nine times has the blue and
gold waved over the cardinal on field
days to twice for Stanfords, hence
the we'll founded belief in victory to-
iiiOi AoN. lie cAOcIlS WIiO prepare
dope on such affairs announce that
on paper it is about an even thing,
with California having just a shade
the best prospect because its athletes
were selected from a larger and SO
perhaps slightly superior field.
Ollie Snedigar, sprinter and foot
ball hero, will carry the hopes of the
blue and gold in the 100-yard dash
and the 220-yard run. Snedigar is
fast and should be first in both these
events.
Wilcox will be relied upon to beat
Miller, Russell and Davis Of Stanford.
Miller is likely to be the stumbling
block here to California's hopes. He
is the freshman who captured the
quarter at Pomona after winning the
mile and the SS0-yard dash. Ed
wards and Yost of California will go
against Miller in the 8S0-yard dash
and if they beat the cardinal they will
know a race has been in progress.
Captain Hackley should score against
Stanford in the tWO-nlile event, and
Snedigar and Neighbors are expected
to duplicate the trick in the broad
jump. Hickey will have to beat Cap
tain Bell of Stanford in the high jump.
Stanford is supposed to have the
best of 1t in the hurdles and the pole
vault. Gilmore is California's reli-
ance in the shot-put, his record of
more than AZ feet being reassuring
circumstance to hopeful California
men. Sperry, too, is expected to make
good in this event. The latter has the
responsibility on him for defeating
Stanford in the hammer throw, where
he will be hard pressed to beat We'll
Ter and Crawford. The relay race is
an nnan affair
