ttm Dazzling Clips Reeled Off at VelodromeTrack CAN" FRANCISCO'S speedway. the A new bicycle Velodrome at weifth and Market streets, was christened yesterday afternoon when Marcel Burger, the Parts speed marvel, and Joe Doppe of Belgian birth, hut of American fame ify a rider, warmed up for nearly an hour in tho presence of several hundred spectators, who came to take their first peep at the track. After the cyclists had tried out the new board surface, Clarence Oberg, one of Francisco's daredevil motorcycle riders, mounted on a high power machine, reeled off a few miles at a dazzling clip. Later Doppe and Uurger, together with several promising San Francisco youngsters, tacked on behind the motorcycle and the crowd was treated to some very exciting sport. All the iders nronounced tha track the fastest they ever have ridden on.

Burger was especially elated with it, and announced that in the near future he will start after several world'B records, ranging from two to twenty-five miles. Every afternoon from new on Burger, Doppe and Oberg will go through their training stunts, and the public is invited to watch them work out. Krnest Ohrt, San Francisco lad and former six-day favorite, is busily en gaged in rounding up the local talent and by next week he hopes to have at least a couple of dozen of the lads in training for the big events that are to be staged at the Velodrome, starting Sunday, May 11.

Mike Fisher spent most of the forenoon with his attorneys, Sam Salmon and Frank Stringham, nevertheless the name and winning fish yarn will be printed in tomorrow's "Examiner." Here are a few of the late catch: STEWED SKATE. I had an ark In one of the best sloughs In Marin county, and Saturday afternoons our bunch would come over and bring the refreshments. In those days we would frown upon any one landing anything less than a thirty-pound bass.

I his particular morning we were anchored out in the middle of the slough: everybody was waiting for the familiar buzz of a reel, when we heard a great commotion aft, and Ed was "reeling in." He was one of our best fishermen, and had just landed a big skate. We all rushed aft, and were ridiculing him about the catch, so he said: "Listen, fellows; I know this skaU, and I didn't mean to hook him, but he Must would get on" when, lo and behold! the skate looked up and actually smiled. Ed dumped over a big washtub, filled it with water and gently lifted the skate in. He then explained that this.same skate had been hanging around for the last four Sundays, and seemed very tame and friendly. We wee all around the tub giving him the once over, and he would look up and smile.

He seem so friendly that 1 said: "Say, fellows, let's give him a shot in the fin." Some one Immediately produced some of the old product; Ed motioned for him to emerge, and he came up smiling, opened up the gills and took in about four fingers. He coughed a couple of times and submerged, at the same time taking a chaser then the old smile. He came up again and again, until we finally had to clamp the after hatch cover over the tub to keep him from hurting himself. He then dozed off. Ed gave him a little bait and lowered him over the side.

He swam around a few times, looked up and smiled and disappeared. We afterward heard that he was the pet of an Italian fisherman, and was very fond of fresh-made claret. FRANK A. JOHNSOft. 731 Clayton street, San Francisco.

WILD TROUT. At a little village In Connecticut there was a dairy and a spring boxed In and used for cooling. Some trout were placed in the boxes. The largest one grew fat by cannibalizing on the smaller ones. All the trout remained wild but the big one, and he was fed butter from the hand until he could be fondled and finally, from time to time without much flopping, ho would allow himself to be weighed in a scales scoop.

And when he had gained heavily he would Bmile, wave his tail in triumph and laugh outright if any one cracked a good Joke. The last paragraph is not on oath, but I'll swear to every word preceding. JOHN II. PIERCE, Minister. 420 Seventeenth street, Oakland, Vendome Hotel Crystal Pool in San Jose will be the scene of much aquatic activity if the plans of Paul Fratessa, 4n charge or the affairs of the San Jose pool are carried out.

San Jose was at one time one of the centers of swimming on the Pacific Coast but for several years interest the sport has suffered. Now that he has over the Crystal pool he will affiliate with the Pacific As sociation, and to conduct the events under the jurisdiction of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United Statea. 4 I A. i ft A. NORTHERN GOLFING TOURNEY UNDER WAY Douglas Grant Star Performer in Qualifying Round on Bur-i lingame Links.

BY FRANCIS CLIFF. ITH a brisk brcezo brushing down the fairways and clouds overhead threatening to let go a few April Khowcrs upon the players the 1919 championship tournament of the Northern California Golf Association got off to a wonderfully fine start on the links of the Burlinsrame Country Club yesterday. Over eighty lila vers took advantage of the privi lege and Qualified yesterday. It Is estimated that there will be two hundred golfers tee off when the match play starts tomorrow. The star performer in yesterday's rounds was Grant.

The gal lerv looked for thrillers when he started off and it was not disappointed. Grant was playing in exceptionally fine form, although in a couple of places h3 erred with his shots a trifle. The first event of this kind occurred on his drive from the first tee. The ball landed between two rows of trees and it cost Grant five shots to gft out. At the six teenth hole Grant found himself in the traD on his second shot.

He iirose to the occasion, however, and made, a perfect out, laying his ball dead to the hole for a tour. GRANT HANDICAPPED. Douglas Grant is handicapped ather heavily, so if he captures the low score on the qualifying round he will have to do the best playing of his entire career. E. D.

Porter, from his showing yesterday, seems to be a candidate who has an excellent chance of capturlng-the open ing event. Among the oJ.her bright lights in the local golfing firmament who went over the course yesterday were F. H. O'Keefe, E. K.

Johnston, H. Y. Hayne, Dr. A. Don Hines, Dr.

II. E. Law, P. D. Johnson, B.

Golcher, J. A. Kennedy, R. L. Coleman and D.

Crabtree. The rest of. the players entered In the tournament who failed to take advantage of yesterday's privilege will be required to be off the tec by 2:30 this afternoon in order to enter the match play which is to start Sunday. Considerable interest attaches itself to the Big Four "of Lincoln Park Sam Conlan, Eddie O'Brien, Milton Curry and H. Speer who are to play their qualifying rounds today.

Eddie O'Brien is conceded to have an excellent chance of figuring in the final 'play. UU'dlOUS OVER CONLAN. Sam Conlan is the player of the quartet who is causing the greatest speculation. This is the first time that he has ever matched his skill with that of the foremost of the State. In individual play on the Lincoln- Tark links he has made some extremely brilliant scores, but his admirers fear that in big tournament play he may become nervous and fall down.

One thing is certain, that when he has gained a little more experience there will be but few jrolf-rrs in this neck of the woods who will be able to make him take the long end of the score. An interesting feature of the present tournament is the entry list of rlayers from University. Hix of the Cardinal pla'yers have gone Into the event and at- least one of them, James Kennedy, It is felt certain, will figure well up. Kennedy, who 'halls from Oklahoma, ha-s a handicap of four in. the Western Golf As.wciation, t- I in 85 rv SOLDIERS' CAR TO BALL GAME STARTS TODAY Thirty of the Heroes in Khaki to Be Taken to This Afternoon's Contest.

uwiiA.M.NU today, tnere win a United Railroads car at the Ijot-terman Hospital at 1:30 every afternoon to take the soldier hoys from the biff government institution to. the ball games at Kecreation Park. Heretofore the wounj stripe has been Rood for admission to the ball park, and as guests of "The Examiner" and the Sun Francisco Hase-ball Club, the boys who shed their blood on the fields of Flanders have been daily grandstand occupants. But all the men who suffered for the cause of freedom do not wear wound stripes. Those who were gassed and those who suffered shell shock are the exceptions.

And they are patients at the hospital, too. So from now on, in addition to those soldier boys wearing- the wound stripe, those who carry the Letterman Hospital pass are to be admitted free to all ball games. The United Railways and the Municipal Railways have come to "The Examiner's" aid. The United Railways car will run over the Municipal Hailways, get Its cargo of soldier boys, and deliver them at the gates of the ball park. The car will be waiting to take them home when the game is over.

Thirty of the heroes in khaki are to be taken to today's game. "ALIFORXIA has lieen treated to the appearance of a woman golfer who probably holds the most unique ffolfinj? record in the world. She is Mrs, George W. Webber of New York City, who is at Dresent stavine at Del Monte and there is probably no golfer, man or woman, who has played over more different courses in various parts of the world than she has. Her diary shows a record of 347 courses over which she has played the entire route of IS holes.

In addition she has played nine and less on a great many more as a test of the courses. Mrs. Webber has been playing golf only seven years but this last week she hung up a score at Del Monte of 84. She and her husband plan to return to ttie East In June. The students at Stanford University have got away to a good start in the organization of a golf club in the college.

At a meeting held this week fifteen men signified their de sire to play and Dr. Gardner has assumed the duty of acting aa sponsor. The first step will be the arrangement of a tournament with the University of California for the near future. The captain of the Cardinal team will probably be James Kennedy, who has considerable of a reputation as a golfer. Stanford and California have not played against each other since 1914, at which time the Palo Alto players took the cup.

McCarthy Draws With Haynie at Dreamland Rink OHNNY MCCARTHY can consider himself one lucky erent that lie stayed four rounds with Frankie Haynie at Dreamland Rink last night. Johnny got a draw with the cham pion of Manila, but he didn't deserve it Haynie had the first two rounds by a wide margin and a shade In the third. The fourth went to McCarthy. At that Johnny put up one of his i good fights, but the height and weight i of the blonde-haired battler was too Tnuch for him to reach. In the semi-windup Tommy O'Brien gained a decision over Al Grunun for the simple reason that Grunan refused to lead.

Not more than four times in the fight did Grtinan extend his left hand. 1 xumiiiy li ivii jciouaoiuji, iciiiijus iinu but to no avail and won the decision, The remainder of the results fol low: Tommy Richards drew with Jimmy Dundee, Frankie Denny decision over Al Nelson, Dave Shade decision over unarne Jones, joe Her- rara drew With Leo Houck, Bei My- era decision over Walter Borcli, 5-, i White-Winged DANCE Corinthians and ODAY is yachtsmen's day.

The following number has been selected for the season's coming in: THE GOOD SHIP BUNGALOW, When old man n'oah built the Ark Ha did the best he could. Ho was shy on tools, and building rules, But he had a lot of wood. So he built her strong, and he built her long, And he built a menagerie. Then ho shortened sail for a sou'east gale.

And he headed her out for pea. For forty nights and forty days She sailed, and weathered the blow. Sheis sailing still, and always will, She's the good ship "Bungalow." ifc And I'm the cook and the captain, too. And the mate of the Bungalow.

Del pitched great ball over the whole distance, lie engineered a life-saving double play in tha eighth, when with two on and one out Orr drove a hot liner at him, and Del picked it oi of the air and nabbed Kldrnd off second. Either Kantlehner or Couch will work for the Seals this afternoon. The series stands at an even split, and the club winning today's game goes into tomorrow's double-header with a big advantage.

SjS SfS According to "Raw Meat" Bill Rodgers, Marty McGaffigan should arrive almost any minute. Marty accepted terms and was supposed to have left for the coast early in the week. It will probably be ten days after his arrival, however, before he is ready to play. Meantime, Billy Orr is playing good ball around short, and Bill Rodgers can't take himself out of the game as long as he plays the sort of ball he is playing at present.
