YACnT5MfN DEBATE
REVISION OF RULES
fnfercfub Association Likely to
Adopt Radical Changes at
Meeting Thursday
By HERBERT HAUSER

While there is but little doubt that
the present racing rules of the Pa
cifc Interclub Yachting association,
known as the Seawanhaka rules, will
be changed at the meeting of the asso-
cia ation next Thursday, the various
yachtsmen about the bay are in a
uuandary as to exactly which rules to
adopt.
The rules, as used by eastern organ
izations, are known as the universal
rules. Though in general use they
have several notifications and inter
pretations. The Seauoia yacht club of
Eureka, which is a member of the asso-
cia tion. uses the eastern rules, as does
the South Coast club of San Pedro.
According to one expert at the game,
different measurers put different in
terpretations upon the new rules, which
is liable TO cause much confusion. 1t
has been suggested that the association
secure a paid measurer.
The Aeolian yacht club has tempo
rarily withdrawn its challenge for the
perpetual challenge cup at the request
of the Corinthian club. which now holds
the trophy. According to the deed of
gift the race must be sailed not less
than 80 nor more than 90 days after the
date of challenge. - If the Corinthians
had accepted. the race would have had
to be sailed early in May. This is
quite early in the season. Therefore,
the challenge has been temporarily
withdrawn and will again be presented
April l.
Peter Lamb. well known and popu-
lar member of the Corinthian yacht
club. died yesterday morning. Lamb
was owner of the fast little sloop Vixen
and had served two terms on the di
rectorate of the Tiburon club. He had
been suffering from heart trouble for
the last year and his death was not un-
expected. His death will be felt by the
entire yachting fraternity.
The sloop Emma of the Aeolian yacht
club which has been owned by Vice
Commodore Lawrence c. Knight. Ed
ward F. Evans and Herbert Hauser. has
been sold to George Postel, Otto Hes
meyer and Ted Lydeckson of the same
club Knight will fly his vice COM
modores flag from the Speedwell this
season.
The flagship lola left Saturday for a
two weeks cruise up the Sacramento
river, Roy Barney in charge
The boat owners of the Aeolian yacht
club met on Sunday afternoon at the
clubhouse and discussed the advisa- =
bilty of changing the interclub racing
rules. The Corinthian yacht club has
appointed a committee of three to ad-
wise the members as to a change of
racing rules.

FANS READY FOR
CALL "PlAY BALL"
Pacific Coast League viii Open
Season Tomorrow With
Usual Festivities

The Pacific Coast baseball leagues
season of 1910 begins tomorrow at Rec
reation park. when the Seals, the cham
pions of 1909, will clash with the Port
land Beavers. The season will open
with the usual festivities There will
be a parade about the city, after which
the teams will go out TO the baseball
park and clash in the initial game.
While the Beavers are at it in this
city with Longs men, down at Los
Angeles Henry Berry's Angels will be
struggling with the Vernonites, while
at Sacramento the reorganized Oakland
team will meet the Senator's.
The teams in the Pacific Coast league
at this time seem to be very well
balanced, even more so than they were
at the opening of last season. Vernon
seems to have patched up several weak
places, and Oakland judging from it's
practice work, looks to be much
stronger.
The baseball parade will start to-
morrow at noon from the ball park at
Valencia and Fifteenth streets and
wend it's way down Market street to
the ferry and then countermarch to
Montgomery, to Montgomery avenue,
to Kearny, to Market, to Third to Fol-
som. to Fourth. to Market, to Valencia.
finally winding up at the ball grounds.
Slivers Henley, whose work on the
hill last year was partly instrumental
in winning the pennant for San Fran
cisco, has been selected to pitch the
opening game; Berry or Williams will
be on the receiving end
The lineup will be as follows:
Afohler, second base: Mundorn, third base;
Melchior, right field; Tenant, first base; Griffin.
left field; McHale. center field; Berry or VIII
lisms, catcher; McArdle, shortstop; Henley,
pitcher.
Five members of the Seals have been
turned over to the San Francisco club
of the State league. The men that
Long turned over to Ewing are: War
ing, Carman. Van Pelt Meikle, Berger
and Jimmy Lewis.
1t has been practically arranged to
hold championship series with the
pennant winners of the Pacific Coast
league and the pennant winners of the
State league. A series of three games
will likely be played at the conclusion
of the season.
The umpires who are to officiate in
the Pacific Coast league during the
coming season were given an examina-
tion yesterday by President Graham.
Van Haltren and HiIdebrand will
double up here; Finney goes to Sacra-
mento. and McGreevey will work at
Los Angeles.

The Santa Cruz team which is to
participate in the western bowling
tournament tonight is considered one
of the strongest aggregations of ten
pin artists in the state.
In their two years of bowling against
outside teams they have not, lost a
single game, taking all their matches
by a large margin. Each man is a
heavy scorer and can roll close around
the zoe mark with little difficulty.
o. j. Forman, captain of the team,
holds the worlds record for the total
number of pins in 10 straight games.
Their ability as bowlers was ably
demonstrated in a telegraphic match
with the Eugenes of San Francisco on
March IL last, when they rolled the
high total of 2.911, exceeding by a
large margin the best score made by
any of the 400 teams in the national
bowling congress just closed in Detroit.

asked about the matter hardly one
has ever known himself to make any
high flights in his dreams. One al
most always flies low, with a skim

Beaunis-from his own experience
describes a typical kind Of dream
fight as a series of light bounds at
one or two yards above the earth each
,, bound clearing from ten to twenty
yards, the dream being accompanied
by a delicious sensation of ease and
| movement as well as a lively satisfac-

of aerial locomotion by virtue OF SUI

Lafcadio Hearn somewhat similarly
describes in his "Shadowings' typi

Japan has great number of water

in the development of the country, but
the reason these valuable sources of
