Gates of Recreation
Park Will Open
Wide To-Day.
Uncle S ToSsersLine
Up Against the
SiWaSheS.

This is the day Of all days for the
baseball fan. It's the big event Of his
career and il only comes once a year.
It's the opening of the season, the
occasion for which he has been watch
ing and waiting and worrying about for
months. When San Francisco lines up
against Seattle at the Eighth-street
lot al O'Clock this afternoon, those
old familiar faces VIII be seen on the
bleachers once again and those old IA
miliar voices will roast the umpire
just as they did in other days.
OF course every one wants TO get out
10 the grounds on opening day. The
cares and worries Of business life will
be forgotten when the nervous man Of
affairs cops a car and hangs on by his
teeth and lets people step on his corns
and gets bumped in the face with pic
lure bOnnets. He viii stand for il ali
and go the whole route, for he knows
JOY awaits him when the umpire pipes
Play ball"
Parke Wilson had his bunch out at
The park for their final warmup yester-
DAY afternoon and, though the grounds
did resemble a wet day in the Potrero
p bit. the players waded in and took
the kinks out of their wings. Every
man on the team is fit, with the eX-
ceptiOn Of Ike Walters. His old wheel
Vobbles some yet, but he figures on
being in twO-year-Old form ere the
season is many days old. Gochnauer
has hidden his rheumatism good-by.
It's a last farewell this time, says
Jack
Uncle's kids had on their new Sunday
bali clothes yesterday. They looked
swell and each man refused to slide.
Captain Wilson wanted to take the
stiffness out of the swell togs, so he
ordered every man TO dress up. They
did not have TO be told to swell up.
That was accomplished, as matter
of course
Nj James Whalen will do the tossing
for Hank this afternoon. James has
opened the season many times here,
and San Francisco always wins. He
figures on getting away with it to-day,
as he did in other years. Captain Will
son Will wear the cage and the team
viii line up against Seattle just as it
did against Chicago last week.
The Seattle team arrived last night
from its training quarters. Captain
Russell Hall announces his bunch looks
good and should beat the Seals. Either
Dick Williams or Charley Hall will
pitch The Siwashes are of unknown
quality this season. though they have
Johnny Burns, Bobby McHale and a
few more old familiar faces on their
lineup, besides several well-known
busherS.
While the Seals are busy with the
Siwashes here, King Fisher will be the
guest of the Commuters on the Oak
land grounds. while the Angels will
entertain Portland in the south.

SEEK A RING OFFICIAL
FOR COMING BOUT.
Sports Cauvassang the Field

With Jabez White and Jimmy Britt
safely settled in their training quarters
the sporting men are already casting
about for the man who will fill the i'm
portant post of referee when they meet
in April Although Charley Mitchell
has not proclaimed his intentions from
the housetops there is a suspicion that
he will object to Graney, Welch, Roche,
Wand, Smith and Greggains, the Cali
fornians who have done the bulk of the
refereeing here in recent years.
While Mitchell objects to California
referee the club officials do not want to
bring out an Eastern man for the occa-
sion. The one man who stands out
most prominently in this dilemma as an
available official is Jere Dunn, the vet
eran New York sporting man, who is
spending the winter on this coast.
While he is essentially New Yorker
he has made q host of friends during
his stay in this city. He is friendly
with Mitchell, O'Rourke, Dwyer and
other friends of White and is also a
great admirer of Britt, with whom he
has spent much time since he came
here. He picked Britt to beat Nelson,
predicting he would outgeneral the
Hegewisch boxer.
Mr. Dunn has refereed more than 200
ring battles and shows keen knowl-
edge Of the fine points of the game.
Those who know him best are sure
that each contestant would get all that
was coming to him. He was asked to
referee the Hart-Johnson affair, but de-
clined on the ground that he did not
want TO offlciate where negro was a
competitor. 80
Those who know Mr. Dunn's sturdy
character are sure he could not be ap-
preached by any one to do dishonest
act. His presence in the ring would
certainly increase the confidence of the
Eastern people In the fight II square
referee is wanted he sfills the bill thor
oughly. The fact that he is on the

Hawthorne Club Wants Permit.

Hawthorne Club Wants Permit.
The Hawthorne Club filed an ap-
plication yesterday for the profession
al boxing permit for April, which the
Hayes Valley Club tried unsuccessful
ly to secure last Monday from the Su-
peTyist rs. The Yosemite Club has
also al Piled for the permit.
If the Hawthorne Club secures the
important sanction it will probably
match Nelson with Rufe Turner. This
would necessitate the transfer Of the
scene of the Britt-White affair to Col
ma. II would probably cut down the
receipts one-half to hold it over the
line in San Mateo County.

TO HORTICULTURAL INSPECTORS
New Rules Adopted by the State Board
Of Inspection

State Horticultural Inspector Nc
Pherson has issued circular to the
deputy inspectors containing a copy Of
the rules recently adopted by the state
board of horticultural inspection for
their guidance. 1t follows:
The board passed resolution re-
quiring all horticultural inspectors,
whether already on the staff or new
appointments, to pass an examination
as to their knowledge of horticultural
pests, remedies and methods of pre-
pairing same. This examination will
be conducted as soon as convenient
along the following lines: Cooling
moth. life history. best methods of ex-
Terminating including remedies. mixing
of sprays and application of the same,
Also along the same lines regarding
aphis or tree lice. apple scab and other
fungus diseases. as we'll as pear blight,
etc. They are all embraced in the re-
cent publications of the state board of
horticultural inspection. There Will
also be some examination with regard
to beneficial insects. This eXamina-
| ton will not be the same in each dls-
| trict as the pests are different in each
| district, but it will include all of the
nests that are now found i'm the respec-
tive districts as we'll as those that may
| be Introduced which would probably
flourish in the respective districts.
The board also instructed the state
INSPECTOR to notify the deputies wher-
ever IT did not take any additional time
/ or exnanse to make a record of all the
! q naries. the number of hives in tht
! apary. and to ascertain. II convenient

THE SOUTHERN BARBECUE.
Preparation of the Feast as Described
by One Who Has Had
Experience.

The way we fix for a barbecue is to
begin to get ready the day befo' The
meat is roastin' all night, says a
writer in Outing. We have plenty of
different kinds-shote, calf, kid and
goat-and we roast 'em whole. A
trench is dug and oak bark Goals put
in. Then sticks are laid across for the
shote and other creatures to rest on.
Some white man has this in charge,
but the niggers keep the fires goin'
an do the basting and the rough
work. The next day everybody comes.
Theresa detail to do the carving, and
we all step up and get what we want
and go and set down by some tree to
eat it. OF course, there's potatoes and
cornmeal, light-bread and pickles and
cake, and there's ice cream, and there's
pure. genuine coffee that the old ladies
make in abundance. Then there's fried
chicken if anyone is fastidious enough
to want it, and some enterprising fellow
is likely to bring a dozen bottles of
beer and invite his special friends out
to his buggy to drink it. But the
best thing to my thinkin' is the shote.
A man hasn't got any part in the resur-
rection until he's eaten barbecued shote.
