4 JISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1869. FOOTBALL WORK AT PALO ALTO Practice Games for the Con- test With the Olym- pics. The Second Eleven Gives the First a Hard Rub for | Supremacy. PLAYERS OF GREAT PROMISE. Registrar Elliott Compares Last Year’s Major Students With Those of This Year. STANFORD NIVERSITY, CaL, Oct. 8.—Football practice is becoming more like the real game as the time for the first match with the Olympics comes on. Last night the work of the men was much more snappy and vigorous and freer from bad fumbles than it bas been for several days. There was considerable open play and long runs were not infre- quent, which kept the crowds of student spectators on the bleachers in good hu- mor. The second eleven gave the firsta hard fight for supremacy and at times even bad the best of it. Clemens’00, a new man here, and brother of the “‘star’’ halfback who practically won the first intercollegiate game for Stanford sgainst Berkeley, was on the fiela and made a good showing at fullback, though quarter is his position, He 1s & quick, heady player and seems to have many of the qualities in him tbat gave his brother a record among Stanforaites that wili go down with the anmnals of its athletic his- tory. G Soper ’98 is constantly improving in his line-bucking, but still runs too high. His tackling seems much improved aud his punting as a ruleis very good. Lou Fresman 99, who has made a good showing as a canaidate for fullback and | whose punting is surer than any other | man’s who has yet turned out, is again at | work. It was greatly feared that he would be prevented from trying for the team. Just now there is mourning over ths fact that Stanford is aboutto suffer an irreparable loss in Murphy 00, the crack quarterback. He has been forbidden to play, and unless his parents rescind the | edict the football squad wilt lose one of its most promising players. There are hopes, bowever, that the parental objection will be removed. Harrington '98—“Big Bill,” as he is known to most of the enthusiasts—has | been playing a ster game at tackie. At| running with the ball he is a remarkable ground-gainer and his aggressive work of | late as been very good. Jack Rice,at | right tackle, isalso playing a strong hard | game. For a new man, Young '97is making a | creditable record at guard in Captain | Fickert’s place. As he learns the game he | develops many of the essentiai qualities ofa | first-rate guard, and his fine physique gives | him a decided advantage in his race for a Varsity piace. He weighs 195 pounds. “Heffelfinger” Williams '97 is playing a steady game at guard, and is recognized as one of the ola_reliables. Dole '98 and Ben Thomas '97 are two of the strongest candidates for half. Dole is s fine runner with the bail and blocks well for a runner. Thomas is strong at bucking, and is a prefty tackler. Parker '99 and Adams ’98 are also do- ing good work. Registrar Eiliott has just prepared a com parative statement of last year’s major students with this year. It is peculiarly interesting as showing the tendencies to change from one specialty to another. This year there apfpears to be a strong tendency on the part of many to study in economic branches. Following is a summary by major subjects for the present year to Oc- tober 8, with the summary up to the same date last year: 18956 1896-7 19 10 67 Archmology....

This is the third season of the Temple cup’s games, Balti- mores playing in all the contests, losing in 1804 to New York in 1895 to Cleveland, and 1806 will take the cup home with them. The game was a fine exhibition for six innings, neither side scoring. Corbett was in the box for the Orioles and was invincible. Once, with a man on second and third and only one out, he kept the spider from scoring. He struck out eight men and added to the glory of his performance by hitting safely every time he was at bat, one of his hits being a sharp, clean two-bagger, in addition to which be stole a base prettily and played | anella second, Sister Ione third. & general bigh class game.

Among the arrivals at the Russ are Sheriff H. L. Borgwardt and Deputy Sker- iff D. M. Pyle of Kern County. They brought up a carload of gold ore from the recently discovered St. Elmo mine, on the Mojave Desert, about which there bas been quite a sensation.

Following them a mine has been developed that has been the talk of all Kern County and that part of the State. The mine is in the Randsburg district. Mr. Borgwerdt and Mr. Pyle are much pleased with their discovery. They be- lieve it is one of the great mines of the country. 5 ‘“There are now about 40 feet of develop- ment on it,” said Mr. Pyle, “and this is by a single shaft, Both walls are granite. At 26 feet there were two feet of ore and &t 30 two and u halt were shown. I have just received a letter from Mr. Wright, the foreman, He says: * The vein consists mainly of rose-colored quartz, carrving sulphurets and iree gold. There is a lighi-colored quartz, blue stained and impregnated with sulpourets. It lies next to the talc on the footwall. Ore-sorting snd sacking is progressing, as is extracting, “We have made several shipments of ton lots of ore to this City,” continuea Mr. Pyle. “The first lot ran $140 a ton and the last till now $800.

HE H4S LOST HIS NAME Carl Henderson Disappears Under the Sobriquet of Mr. 600 It Is the Amount It Cost Him for Cutting the Cable of a Sutter. Street Car. As if he had droppel on a deserted island long before he was old emough to know his own name Uonductor Carl Hen- derson of the Larkin-street system of streetcars has lost his identity. He is now Mr. 600, or plain 600, for the matter of that. Were he married his wite would be known as Mrs. 600 and his babies the little six hundreds. It is an odd story of how a sobriquet will supersede a rightful appellation when circumstacces of a striking nature cre- ate it. s Henderson is a powerful, good-natured and honest Swede who has devoted most of the fifteen years he has been in this State to either driving a streetcar or hand- ling a grip on the tramways. A frugal man, without even the petty vice of chew- ing tobacco or smoking a pipe, he man- aged after some years of steady work to accumulate some $600. This was as far back as three years ago when in one moment of thoughtlessness Qe lost his entire savings, This is how it occurred: Car! was grip- man on a south-bound Larkin-street car. It was his'duty when nearing the Sutter- street crossing to raise his grip and allow the car to cross the Sutter-street tracks and cables by the force of its own mo- mentum. But he didn’t do 1t. There was a crash. Oarl’s grip was bent up and a few windows in his car were shattered. The passengers were not much hurt, but only shaken up a bit. But the serions damage was done tc the Sutter- street cable. The grip simply cut it in two and it took an entire day to rejoin the ends. After an escapade of that kind Carl's job was as good as lost and he knew it. he superintendent of the road ordered him to report off, and crestfallen and de- jected be turned in. Not only was he discharged, but_ before be was given his walking papers he was told of the terrific amount. of money he had caused the company to lose. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000 in nickels and dimes. 3 Carl went his way thinking the matter over and speculating on the excessive cost of cables. That afiernoon, the honest Swede re- turned to the superintendent’s office and walking up to his desk laid down a sack of coin, saying as be did so: “‘Mr. Superintendent, you don’'t know that I was not to blame, but I know. I have not money enough to pay you all the $1000, but 3 Henderson always pays what dumages he makes.”” Then Carl started to walk out. The } superindendent was dumiounded, But he called the man back, counted the $600 out, put it in the safe and said: “Henderson, take your grip asusual in_the morning.” Henderson’s escapade cost him §600, won him a name and ne is still plodding away at $2 10 per day. PHELAN CAMPAIGN OPENS The Junta Wing of Local De- mocracy = Ratifies Its Nominees. A F:miy Gathering in 01d Fellows’ Hall and Speeches by Several Candidates. The Junta branch of the local Democe racy opened its municipal campaign to the public last night at Odd Fellows' Hail, In the course of his speech James D. Phelan, the young candidate for Mayor, denounced the City's Boards of Super- visors and expreszed the desire to aspire to merit the good things that the other speakers had said of him. He could not, as Sutro had, promise the people a five- cent fare to the ocean, but he could prem- ise them good streets, and whatever little good he coula do the City of his birth would be a labor of love. Dr, C. F. Cunton, nominee for Super- visor of the Eleventh Ward, said that tao often Supervisors bave taken the op- portunity to fleece the people. James E.

He Was Protecting His Mother From Being Beaten by Her Husband. FATAL END OF A FAMILY ROW. William J. Price, the Stepfather, Is Arresteq and Locked Up in the City Prison. William John Price, a painter, living on Precita avenue, between Howard and Fol- som streets, fatally stabbed his stepson, Edward Edgar, a carriage-painter, 23 yearsof age, last night, and was arrested on the charge of murder. % Price was married to his wife seven or eight years ago. She was then a widow with four chiidren, Edward being the eld- est. Since her marriage to Price she has borne him three children. Last night, between 7 and 8 o’clock, Mrs. Price was putting the youneer chil- dren to bed. The youngest child went into the sitting-room, where Price was, to kiss him good-night. The little thing knocked over something and nurt her foot and began to cry. Price picked up the child, and Mrs. Price went into the sitting-room and said to Price: *“Give me the child and I'll put her to bed.” Price roughly replied: *Get out of here, or I'll slap you in the mouth.” Edward was in the kitchen and over- heard Price’s threat. He went into the sitting-room, and raising his_hand ad- vauced toward Price saying: “You must not strike my mother. I am here to pro- tect her.” Price grabbed a pair of scissors from the mantelpiece and plunged them into Edward’s left side. Edward returned to_the kitchen, fol- lowed by his mother. He vut on his coat and hat, and remarking to her, “Mother, I have been stabbed,” he left the house. He walked about a block, as far as Army and Howard streets, and dropped to the sidewalk, expiring in a few minutes. Dr. McLanghlin was summoned, but found life was exuinct, The body was removed to the Morgue. The scissors penetrated fhe left side, be- tween the sixth and seventh ribs, went up- ward, piercing the pericardium and touch- ing the heart. The Seventeenth-street police station was communicated with and Sergeant Martin and Policeman Joseph went to the house and placed Price under arrest. Hs was taken to the City Prison and booked on the charge of murder. Price when seen in the prison was calm and collected. He did not hesitate to make a statement. He is a man about 5 | feet 5 inches, slight build ana 40 years of age. “My wife and I had some words to- night,”” he said, “‘and finally I threatened to slap her iace, although I did not intend todoso. The young man jumped in and said he would do me up and with that he struck me twice in the face. He wasa powerful young feliow, over 6 feet tall. “There was a pair of scissors on the mantelpiece and to defend myself I grabbed them and made 2 jab athim. He sneaked out of the room and into the yard and about fiiteen minutes’"later I was arrested and brought here. “It is not the first time he has beaten me. About a year ago while I was in bed he gave me such a severe beating that I did not get over it for some time. *I had no intention of seriously injuring bhim, but made a jab at him sojas to drive him away from me, as I could not do any- thing with him with my fists."”" The Labor Unlons. 3 The Building Trades Councii has sent a long communieation to the Board of Fire Commis- sioners, complaining of the roof of the City Hall now under construction.

The work of developing the Potrero goes steadily along. The cutting through of Mariposa street, from Mississippi to In- diana, will be finished by the end of this week. The contract called for the removal of 30,000 cubic yards of earth, at an expendi- ture of $7000, and when finished will give the geople of the Petrero a direct thor- oughfare to the principal portion of the City, notably the City Hail and that por- tion of Market street west of Kearny. This will obviate the necessity of coming round by the tedious way of Long bridge, with the inconvenience of waiting for the drawbridge at the foot of Fourth street. ‘With the cutting of Mariposa street Seventh, Eighth and Ninth streets can be entered by a direct line from the Potrero, as also the Mission proper through Six- teenth street. Heretofore the San Brano road had to be traversed to gain an entry into the Mission from anywhere east of the Mud Slough and Bluerock Hill.
