Yachts Will Leave
Winter Quarters

Today the white winged fleet will
leave its winter nest in the lagoon back
Of Tiburon and perch on the open wa

rest of the old standbys went over TO
the clubhouse last night and camped
there so as TO have everything in shape

The issuing OF the challenge by the
San. Francisco yacht club to the Corin-
thians for the San Francisco perpetual
challenge cup, naming the sloop NeVa'
has not been received with much en-
thusiasm by the yachtsmen Of the bay.
The fact Of making a formal challenge
af this time which is prior to the
date named IN the deed of gift, does
not make the contest official. The
Golden Gates have signihed for some
time their intention of challenging
for the cup with the Moonlight. while
President George Henderson of the Sc
quota yacht club came down a couple Of
weeks ago especially TO learn the con-
6itions under which the challenge
might be put in. This seems to give
the latter two clubs priority over the
San Francisco club in consideration by
the Corinthians. The fact that the San
Francisco club has made a formal chal-
lenge does not, from sportsman s
standpoint place il in a position where
the Corinthians may be cons dered as
having TO accept The fact that nego-
tiauons have been opened by the
Golden Gate and the Ssquoia clubs
would at least, with the yachtsmen, be
considered as much weight as formal
challenge.
1t has been stated that the Golden
Gates courteously withheld challenging
when it was learned that the Sequoia
club. q sister Organization in the Pa
ciic interclub yacht association, was
desirous OF competing for the trophy.
The ability of the Moonlight of fhe
Golden Gates and the Neva Of the San
Francisco are well known, and to the

The Robert Burns team seemed i'm
bued with desire TO emulate the poet
in the matter OF immortaiiEing itself
last Sunday, for in disposing of the
Independents in the seminal of the
soccer cup competition II accomplished
a performance of merit and one Of
which few thought it capable After fin
ishing a mighty close second at the
wrong end Of the league table the
Burns boys were looked on as some
thing Of a joke and the Independents
were conceded the game before the
opening whistle sounded. At that the
Scotch team has nothing in particular
TO commend ii except a determination
to get of at the right place and enough
stamina to accomplish the desire. The
forwards in particular are DO or die
bunch and when once they get started
in the direction of the opposite goal it
takes something big and husky TO
stop them. Taylor is the star of this
division, and it was his Individual ef-
forts which downed the Indies in last
Sundays game The eleven possesses
nothing in the shape, of cleverness and
the game they put up is by no means
a scientific exhibition OF the soccer
code.
The Independent team is a poor apol-
ogy for the eleven which carried the
colors Of the club TO victory in three
previous cap finals and there was
nothing of the old enthusiasm evident.
The players seemed TO lack condition
and before the finish the distress sig
nal was hung out in every departnl ent.
Tommy Fay was there with his usual
tricky stunts, but his efforts were
feebly backed up by his team mates and
the Burns halfbacks had little difficulty
in taking the ball away from the In
dependent forwards.
In reaching the final OF the conpcti-
tion the Burns team has cause to con
sra tulate itself. as this Is the clubs
first year in the game. having been or
ganized in the fall OF last year.
The ability of the Scotch ladGies %

the matter of skill and combination

other soccer organiaa tions that ever

years ago. That was team composed
of veterans who understood every
point Of the game. In the memora Die

of Victory
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

ALBANY, n. 7. March 2s.-"The
gamblers have raised the money-the
racetrack bills are beaten"
This is the statement, with varia-
tions heard on all sides in Albany
This talk of a corruption fund comes
not so much from the advocates of the
antigambling bills as from the race
track lobby itself, where one may hear
discussed freely the prices at which
different senators may be bought
The lobby is cocksure that the bills
are as good as dead. The reasoning of
the gamblers always concludes with the
money argument.
And. finally" they say, the vote
will be close-very close. Two or three
votes will decide. Perhaps only one
will be needed. It's a cinch."
Doubtless these rumors do a grave
injustice to the senate. Many say it is
probable that the gamblers will be un-
able to touch a single republican in the
senate with their money.

record was made by Andrew Glar-
ner Of the Olympic club on the Stan

performance OF Brown yesterday.

Stockton had no difficulty in letting
Oakland down without hit or a run.
Van, for the visitors, kept the hits
