OAKLAND FOOTBALL MEN OUTPLAY INDEPENDENTS Hornets Annex Association Game by a Score of , 3 toO OAKLAND. March SI. — Outpointed la every feature of the game, the Inde pendents had to admit the superiority of the Oakland Hornets at today's as sociation football game at Freeman's ! Park. The scbre was 3to 0. Since the institution of the cup com petition the Independents have had a monopoly of the honors, winning the cup regularly each year, and the wear ers of the black ana white were tipped as a cinch for today's game. The Hor nets, however, were determined to have a say as to the ultimate destination of the trophy, and the best available tal- . ent at the call of the selection commit tee was sent on -the field. It was generally believed that McKenzie would be unable to play, because of Injuries received in the Albion game, but at the last minute he decided that he was fit to resume his position. H3fl The Independents introduced Lydon at center forward, which necessitated the elimination of Balmain. That the change was a wise one the result shows. McKenzie started the play which re sulted in the first goal of the contest. Throwing the. ball from the sideline al most to niidfleld, he placed, it .directly at the feet of Elliot and the Hornet captain made a great effort to pierce the defense. Godfrey, who had as sumed the goal position for the day, made a clever save and sent the sphere back into the field. Little Podmore was lying in waiting, however, and with a nicely Judged shot put his team in the lead. Thereafter the Indies had a look In, and Lydon made a magnificent attempt to put his team on level terms with a snot from twenty yards range. Mc- Ritchie was on the alert and suc ceeded in turning the ball over the bar. Shortly afterward the Independent goal was again In danger because of Carter being charged from behind. The kick went past and t.ie San Fran ciscans assumed the aggressive. Mc- Kenzie was having a rough time and when he was on the verge of scorJng he received a nasty kick from the goalkeeper. This did not deter him and after a beautiful single handed effort he outwitted the defence and added goal number two to the. Horn ets' list. In the second half Cunningham caused McPatchie some anxiety with a shot which the custodian was forced to tip over the crossbar to avert danger. Tommy Fay took the result-, ant corner, kick and H-ighett spoiled the advance by shooting past. Just to make sure of an already sure thing. Carter, with the best shot of the game, put 0:1 number three. The make-up of the teams, was as follows: il-.rapts— Mcßitchie. Wafber. Gore. 'McKenzie Jr.. Meaouim.

Feudner, with 23 breaks out of 25 targets at which he shot in the club , championship race, was high man' in the opening shoot of the \u25a0 Empire Gun ] Club yesterday on the trapshooting grounds at Alameda Point Fred Feud- [ ncr was second In this event with 22. Hillis. the clever representative of a powder company, finished in .third place with 21. breaks to his credit. . The conditions were perfect for blue rock shooting. There was no wind and the high fog made a perfect light, as there was no glimmer along the gun barrel when it \u25a0was pointed in the direc tion where the sun should have been. The average scores were high, consid ering that this was the- first shoot of the season and that the, members were out of practice. BpP) The special , handicap race at twenty birds, in which the- competitors held their guns below their elbows. \u25a0 proved an interesting match, but a hard one for ; good scores. The conditions are dlffe'r ent from ordinary trapshooting. Hillis proved best at this style of shooting, i breaking 17 out of a possible 20.

POLOISTS RESUME PLAY ON BURLINGAME FIELD The poloists of Burlingame Country Club resumed match play yesterday, on the private field of Francis J. Carolan at Crofisways Farm after a month's let-up. The teams were made up of . three men each, Instead of the cus tomary four, as the . full complement of players was not available. Lawrence McCreery, who was a member of Walter Buckmaster*s : famous team * in ; England for yea^, made, his first appearance of the, season at Burlingame. He showed all his former skill as a horseman and with the polo mallet. The. teams were made up as follows: lied* — F. 3. Citrolan, Lswrence McCreery and W. 8. Hobart. White* — E. W. Howard, T. A.. Driecoll and John Lawsuo. George Parsons refereed the match. The score was a tie,' each team making seven goals in the full six periods of play. -'W&S&EB&^PvBBi , For the first time it has been decided to play, at Burlingame throughout-. the summer, .chiefly; with ; a view to keep ing players and ponies : In; condition tor the sharp competition .which 1 Is . expected next winteiv when . the : trophies won at "the Coronado Country Club must be de fended and when a strong English team 'is expected to enter the lists MpjWJWi Numerous Handicap Events on This Week's Racing Card. MURDOCK NOW TENNIS CHAMPION OF ALAMEDA Veteran ' Wrests \u25a0\u25a0;- County Title From Charles Foley •- .With Ease ... :• " The singles tennis championship of Alameda Comrty " was won'-hy Percy Murdock of Alameda yesterday. • The contestants, in- the finals wera Murdock and Charles Foley of San Francisco, winner of the tournament last" year. The easy manner lri •which the veteran disposed of Foley surprised the experts. As eafch had won from. the "other in the past, a close match had been looked for. Murdock outplayed his opponent In ev ery set but one, winning," three out of four. The score was 6-2* 6-1, 2-6, 6-4. Murdock won the first two .sets so easily that a victory In straight sets was predicted on all sides. Foley. ral lied in the third set and outplayed his opponent as badly as he had been out played In. the others. When Foley had taken the first two games In the fourth set it began" to look as though the match Would bq closely contested. Mur dock, however, soon evened up the score and finally won the set, 6-4. In the last game Murdock on six occasions needed but one point to win. Foley's defeat was due largely to his poor service. He almost Invariably missed his first, service and Murdock as a rule drove his second for an ace. The old-timer was right on his metal and his drive, both backhand and forehand, was working to perfection. Murdock's victory was -well earned and he deserves credit for having de feated such cracks as Janes, McLough lin, Gardner andFoley. These four are the cleverest youngsters In the game at present, barring Coast- Champion Long, and the fact that Murdock won from each of them with ease shows that he can hold his own with the present generation of experts without any dif- f iculty. Murdock's victory restores to him a ; title he had won ten years ago. He has been • champion of Alameda County off and on ever since. . Play was resumed In the handicap sin gles tournament for the Pendleton Cup on the Golden Gate Park courts yester day. The playing of P. Hardeman, a new comer at the park, proved to be the feature. Placed oh the fifteen mark by the handicapper, he defeated E. P. Finnigan and Fred Adams with ease. The youngester put up a great game and undoubtedly will develop into a, star player. \u25a0 ' •. ' • ' \u25a0 The best match of the day was that between George Baker and Fitz Guerin. The latter overcame a lead of 4-0 in the first set, winning, it by a score of 10-8. The next two sets, both If which were close, were won by . Baker. . The scores follow: P. Hardeman (15) beat E. P. Finnipan (owe 3-6), 6-0. 6-2; G. Guerin (scratch) beat H Miller (15), 8-6, 3-6, 6-1 ; Horace Mann (scratch) beat W. Fleming (15 3-61, 6-1, 6-2; Charles Foley (owe 20) beat N. Martin (3-6), 6-2, .6-3- J. Schwartz (15) beat L.

C. Kierulff Shows Great . Skill With the Five- . '"'• Ounce Rod • The- clever rod wielders" of the San Francisco Flycasting- Club continue to perform astonishing feats wi{h the five ounce rod in their competition at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. T. C. Kierulff. president of- the club, bro.ko all world's records in the delicacy event yesterday with a score of 93 46-60 per cent. In this competition both ac curacy and delicacy, are taken into ac count. • This Is the event which" more nearly approaches trout fishing on a stream than any other form of compe tition with rod and line. In the delicacy part of this event Kierulff made a perfect score, while in accuracy he was credited with 99 8-15 per cent. , This means that had there been ' any member of the trout family near the scene of his operation's he would not have been aWe to resist the barbed fly-so skillfully presented. This score has never been equaled In any competition. Dr. W. B. Brooks also was in great form, making a score of -99 8-15 per cent In the regular accuracy event. The direction of the wind was un favorable for the men who competed in the distance event and the scores were all poor.

A. S m yth HUNDREDS OF FANS PAY VISIT TO BALL GROUNDS Grandstand and Bleachers Are Inspected by Many Critical Eyes By W. J. Slattery Though thy knew that the glorious day which marks the opening of ths baseball season — the dearest day in all the year to "them — was still nearly a week off. several hundred of the real trietf-and-not-found-wanting fans wended their way to the new ball park at Fifteenth and Valencia streets yes terday. Instead of the leather-covered sphere traveling swiftly through the air the fans gazed upon the plodding harrows and clod mashers, while the noise of the swinging hammers took the place of the pop of the base hit. Everybody seemed satisfied with the appearance of the new field. Groups of fans took seats in the grandstand and on the bleachers, and eagerly dis cussed the prospects for next Saturday and predicted how the Seals will hand it to the Beavers in the first real live baseball game San Francisco has known since April 15. As usual the small boy figured prom | inently at the grounds and the en thusiasm he showed' was great. He climbed into the stands and selected the seats he hopes to occupy some Sunday or holiday afternoon when for tune smiles on him. As for the bleach ers he tried them first and picked out the choicest" place from which to se cure the 'best lin« on every base, the outfield and the catcher's box. .-' • The 'oleachers in the new park are well arranged. Formerly the spectator \u25a0was- compelled to lean over in order to avoid being kicked on the small of the back by the man behind him. Now there Is plenty of space behind each seat and the fan can sit down and watch the game in comfort while he munches peanuts. If the right field fence was twentr or thirty feet farther away from the home plate the grounds- \u25a0would be ideal. The management, however, will put a wire netting on top of the woodwork, and Cal Ewing says that any man who is- capable of walloping the sphere over it Is entitled to make the round of the bases. - '• Ewlng and his associates are con fident that they will secure the addi tio.nal ground in right field before the season progresses very far. ' They were in hopes that the strip of land would be theirs before the season opened, but when It came to closing the deal there \u25a0were ''several obstacles to. overcome and the . transaction • wa3' postponed temporarily. Local fans will regret to' hear that George McLaughlin and Charley Doylo have been sold to the Dcs Moinea Club of the Western Association. They have been playing ball on the Pacific Coast for. ten years or more and al ways • "made good." Under these 'cir cumstances ' it seems strange that none of the managers of the league sought their services. The fan 3 are willing to wager many pieces of gold that there, are several outfielders In the league who. are not as fast as* either McLaughlin or Doyle. ' McCreedie" has wired that the- Port land flock is fast- coming to its -.own now that sunshine has taken the place of rain at "Salinas. He 'was so down hearted and despondent two weeks ago that he asked the local magnates to allow him to complete his training on the new field here. Perhaps the man ager of the Beavers knew that It rained some in this city and that if he came here at that time he would have been compelled to train his. men In rowboats. It is likely that the Northwestern League will take all the released play ers from this league who have not yet secured berths. More than a week ago the manager of the' Pendleton team wired that he could accommodate four or five of the boys. It is under stood that little Schofeld. who was re leased, by Long, has his choice of sev eral of the teams of the north. Hal Chase has not yet made, his peace with Manager Griffith of the Xew York Americans; and from pres ent indications the fans of Gotham will not see the great Californian in action this season unless the management comes through with' a raise in salary. Many of the local ball players think hat Chase is foolish for holding out. '.rhe members of the Giants, however, \u25a0vere all unanimous in saying that the >oters will give Griffith no peace until *ie secures Chase, for. they all regard him as the greatest guardian of the first sack the team has ever known. Unless his present plans are changed Manager Jones has always been a fa vorite with the fans, and as he want 3 > to start the season off Long thinks the best thing he can do is to comply with his wish. SAIiNAS XINB WIXS SALINAS. March 31.— The Salinas baseball team, after the most exciting game ever played on the local diamond, defeated McCreedle's Portland team this afternoon by a score of 3 to 2.
