RALEIGH BREEzES
TO JOY OF CROWD
Heavily Played Third Choice
Leads Clever Performers i'm
Vallejo Handicap

Raleigh. the heavily supported third
choice, won the Vallejo handicap, feat
ure of the card, at Emeryville yester-
day. He led home some of the clever
est performers on the coast.
The racing was witnessed by one of
the largest crowds of the season, and,
as favorites or well played horses were
successful, the layers did not have a
very profitable session.
Chester Krum, one of the leading can
didates was withdrawn from the handi-
cap owing to blood trouble, leaving a
field of five to go to the post. At the
outset Orbicular was a to s favorite,
but receded while the money went in
on Jim Gaffney, the closing first choice,
and Raleigh.
They were sent away to a good start
and when the quarter pole was reached
Jim Gaffney was in front. Kid North
then assumed command and led until
the turn for home was reached. There
Raleigh passed him, and, dra wing away,
won easily from Jim Gaffney, who out
gained Indictment. Orbicular was badly
ridden by Molesworth and failed to- cut
much figure, although he closed up
some ground near the finish.
The year olds went four and half
furlongs for the first time and Jim
Basey gained a neck victory over Abb
gall K, who got away badly, as usual
Jim Basey was an odds on favorite at
the close and raced head and head with
Salali during the early stages. Salali
stopped the final furlong and Jim Basey
stood off the challenge of Abigail X

AMERICAN RUGBY
TEAM ENLARGED
All Star Aggregation Practically
i'm Readiness to Start on
Australian Trip
By WILLIAM UNMAcK

The combined California, Stanford
and Nevada university Rugby football
team that is to tour Australia is now
practically complete and is scheduled
to leave here about May 1s for Van
couVer, where the team will board the
Makura a few days later. Acting I'M
der advice from here, the New South
Wales Rugby union has agreed to en-
large the number of the team from
20 men to %. The original invitation
called for 20 men to make the trip, but
on it being pointed out to the New
South Wales union that the local Rugby
players are much more strenuous play
ers than their Australian cousins. they
readily agreed to enlarge the team.
The names of the members of the
team will not be made public until the
final selections are made, as there are
still one or two places not Allied. 1t
is rumored that Cedric Cert will not
be able to accompany the team.
Australia has gone Rugby mad this
year, and besides the combined Amer
lean University team as our team is
to be officially known in Australia, q
representative team Is also to be on
hand from New Zealand and a native
Maori New Zealand team Is also to play
games there at the same time. Besides
all these teams the professional Rugby
men will have an All England Pro team
out and it is as counted attraction
to this team that the New South Wales
Rugby union (amateur) is inviting New
Zealand and this country to compete
with their best teams

Good Sport Looked For on Ala

This Afternoon
BY WILLIAM UNMACK

The opening games OF the California
cricket league were remarkable for the
large individual scores A feature OF
the game between the Wanderers and
Alamedas was the particularly brilliant
display of fielding by the Wanderers
A century to be scored in an open
Ing game is a feat that causes con-
siderable comment, and l fancy that
Petersen is the first man who has ever
scored the hundred in an opening
league game His batting all through
the inning was brilliant and he pun
ished all bowling alike.
charlton and Stuart put up fine
performance for their club and estab-
lished club record for the fall of the
first wicket. Charlton is an exception
ally fine batsman and his performance
In the first game is a guarantee that
he Will be stumbling block for clubs
this season
Are these remarkable scores for first
games criterion that cricket has i'm
proved In this state, or has the bowl
ing deteriorated?
Numbers of cricketers have asked
themselves this question since the first
game. and are wondering whether an
Improvement has been made. Person
ally, think the bowling was not up
TO the standard of last year, and con-
sequently the batsmen took full advan-
tage of this weakness. At the same
time, however. the batsmen are to be
given full credit for their performances.
The games to be played today are
sure to bring out some good sport and
the meeting of the Alameda team and
the Barbarians at the Alameda ground
is being looked forward to with Keen
interest
The Barbarians have a good team for
today, but they will be minus the serv-
ices of their skipper, Harry Elliott. L.
;. Reading will take his place with the
Barbs this year as wicket keeper, in
stead of Price, who is now playing
with Alameda. Reading last year did
good work behind the wickets for the
San Mateo club. Ollerdessen, Moverly
and Stewart will be supported by sew
eral new men. The two teams will line
up as follows:

big ENTRY LIST
FOR Bench SHOW
Nearly 500 BIue BIOOded CANNES
VIII Be on Exhibition at
the Auditorium

All indications point to great sue
cess when the new Golden Gate ken
mel club blossoms out with its 6rs-
bench show at the Auditorium on the
afternoon of May A. The exhibition
will last four days. and judging from
the interest already being manifested
it will be one long to be remembered
by the dog fanciers OF the entire Pa
cific coast.
The new club has encountered many
an obstacle since its officers gave out
their determination to hold a show this
year. At first the prospects looked du-
bious, indeed but the leading spirits Of
club, Robert Wallace. ]. Maxwell Taft.
Alex Eolfen and 1. c. Ackerman, were
set upon making good. and they went
right ahead with their plans despite
strenuous opposition
The entry list is one OF the largest
that any bench show on the Pacific
coast has ever attracted. 1t closed last
night with superintendent John Brad
shaw at 229 Montgomery street. and
nearly 500 dogs were registered. This
beats last years record and, Incl
dentally, it stamps the show as Eve
pointed one. the highest grade possible
under the laws of the American Ken
mel club.
SANCTIONED BY PARENT BODY
The parent body, by the way. IS also
taking a great interest in the coming
show, it's officers having given the pro-
moters their sanction TO go ahead, and
promising them all the aid within their
power.
Dogs from all over the coast are en-
tered, but. of course. the California
bred dogs will be away in the majority.
San Francisco will have first call in
the list, with Oakland and Alameda
county a good second Los Angeles is
sen6ffig up the pick of that city, and
the chances are that the competition
between the north and the south will
be very keen.
All the breeds are well represented.
but the bulls and bull terriers prob
ably will hold sway. Among the likely
prize winners is A c. Morrisons 8
months old English bull. Techau Tavern
Bill. He is one of the finest specimens
of his kind ever shown in this city.
George NJ. FIexner, the well known
park dog fancier. has a strong brace
in his two bull terrier bitch pups. Sal
and Fancy. These are out of the ia
nous Lady Hazel by Sultan NOgss
These pups are only months old. but
they are wonders for size and they
should make their mark at the show.
FITTING UP BIG PAVILION
The big pavilion viii be rapidly
fitted up to accommodate the dogs and
the large crowd that is expected. More
kennels than any show since the IRE
are being installed under the direction
of Superintendent Bradshaw, and all
the dogs will be well taken care of dur
ing the four days of the exhibition
Several additional prizes were listed
with the secretary yesterday afternoon,
among them a handsome cup donated
by Miss Jennie Croker
Among the women who will exhibit
their dogs at the show are.
