12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, AQUINAS FIRST IN THE STAKE Took the Palo Alto Handi- cap From Candelaria, Driving. Bellicoso Picked Up 140 Pounds and Won the Gculet Handicap. Jo= Web r Brouzht Ez>kiel In an Easy Winner—Sliy Upset a Good Thing in the Ealdwin Filly Celoso. It was banner day at Oakland race track yesterday. The big holiday throng, which must have numbered fully 6000 people, filled the grand stand and other points of vantage, and ingress and egress to the betting ring, where the layers of odds held sway, were made under difficulties. Evervbody seemed to have money to bet and the pencillers very accommodatingly took all that came their way, and as but one favorite pok®ed its nose past the wire first they retained a very large portion of the coin thus wagered. Carefully summed up, these gentry had a very large day of it and were evidently sorry that Christ- mas happens but once a year. The weather was muggy and close, with just a suspicion of rain in the air. The track was in good condition, though the time made by the different winners was only ordinary. The Palo Alto handicap for two-year- at six furlongs was the principal fea- of the card, and Barney Schreiber has the $950 that went to the first horse to his credit. Aquinas, carrying the 8t. Louis turfman’s-colors, captured the dash in a mild drive with Candelaria. Aquinas opened favorite at 8 to 5and was aliowed to drift back in the betting to 5 to 2. Can- delaria, the second choice, Tempestuous, Arrezzo, Horatio and Dunboy were all weli supported. After some little delay at the post and one recall with the flag the barrier flew up in the air with the bunch off well in 1o- tion. Thorpe on Candelaria almost im- mediately showed in the lead, and strik- ing the stretch two len:ths before Aquinas looked to have the race in hand. The lat- ter came away though under Slaughter’s riding and passed the stand half a length beiore the Burns & Waterhouse entry. Estaca, the Buldwin representative, was a good thing. The other event on the programme that carried more value attached to it than the ordinary purse affairs was the George Goulet Champagne handicap for all ages over six furlongs. Of the original entries all declined the handicapper’s allotments witnh the exception of six. Bellicoso, with 140 pounds up, opened favorite at 6 to 5, later receding to 11 to 5. The Cambridee stable’s puir, Applause, ridden by Sam Doggett and carrying 125 pounds, and Rey del Tierra, with 108 in the saddle, had first call at 8 to 5 around post time. Sloan on Bellicoso was sent away flying when the barrier was raised, and always holding the others safe, won easily by two lengths from Good Times. Potentate was lapped on the place horse. The opening five-furlong scramble for maiden two-year-olds was Jooked upoa as asort of good thing for Defender, which youngsier was hammered down in the betting from 7to 5 to evens. Ezekiel, an 8 to 1 chance, ridden by hittle Joe Weber, disposed of the biack colt like breaking sticks at the finish, winnin: by a couple ot oven lengths. Sisier Beatrice was third. Gene Leizh came very close to landing the miie seiling affair with his old horse Woodcnopper. Played from sixes jours, ke made all the running and was only collared and beaten the last jump or two by that uncertain quantity, Red Glen, against which 5 to 1 was laid. Arnette, the 11 to 5 favorite, ran a very slouchy race. Tne mile and a half hnrdle handicap ap- peared 10 eabout fit Haymarket, and Stan- ford’s mount was backed in the betting from 7105t0 4 to 5. He was leading_at to | the last jump when it looked as though his rider grew overconfident and he was beaten out in a driving finish a neck by Tom Clarke, an 8 to 1 shot. Hello, who evidently does not like so long a route, finished third. With Sloan up and the scalp of Ty- hoon, the crack Western two-year-old, snngling at his belt, was the hottest tip of the day and the final five-furiong spin for two-year-olds, was considered a gift for her. "The 4 to 5 offered was eagerly grabbed up by the Eastern contingent. 8Sly, the second choice, led from the jump and passed the judges winner by over six lengths in 1:0134. In a bard drive Celoso barely beat Rieuzi out for the place. s Notes. Barney Schreiber, the St. Loumis turf- man, arrived from that city yesterday and was kept busy at the track shaking hands with his many friends. Mr. Schreiber is iresh from an extended European trip. Sam Daggett rode his first mount this season on Applause. Sloan will be kept busy holding up his muchly heralded Eastern reputation. Bob Isom is riding in grand form at pres- ent and it is dollars to doughnuts he will outfinish Mr. Sloau the first time the pair hock up.

Among the habits of the partridge one is that when a covey is roosting on the ground, with tails bunched togetner in a cirle, the bunch is surmounted by a line of watchful heads, like sentinels on duty, says the Baltimore Sun. Another is that they run the instant the ground is touched after a *flush,” the dogs often trailing them in rabbit-hunting fashion. Their sense of smell is evidently very acute, for during the nesting season, if the eggs, which number from ten to twenty, are dis- turbed in any way or a hand even inserted in the nest, it will beimmediately deserted and a new one built. A short time previous to the nesting the males are often involved in desperate combats for the choice of mates, which stand by and guietly wateh the encounter, seeming not to care which one becomes the victor. The incubation is formed en- tirely by the female, the male, when not feeding, often being perched on some slight elevation, encouraging her by his mellow-toned call of “bob white.” "Two and sometimes three broods of young are reared during a season, the nesting begin- ning as early as May 1. Later in the fall the broods of young occasionally join |- forces, but whether from a want of com- pany or ior protection is not known. When feeding the birds are sometimes scattered several yards apart, but at the first sign of danger an alarm is given and they immediately ‘‘bunch,” with their heads placed close together, as if incon- snitation. The first shot into a covey will often cause them to break and fly in all directions, and if not disturbed again for several minutes ‘‘scatter cails” will be heard on every side. These are made to collect tue remaining birds, which again bunch. Many of the market gunners seem to have no quaims of conscience and very often kill without hesitation an entire covey, when at least one or two pairs of birds should be left for breeders. “THE CALL” RACING GUIDE.

"Quick P}ays on Tackles Notted Re- peated Gains—Some Caustic Criticisms. [iThe Butte football team defeated the Olympic eleven at Central Park yesterday afternoon in a hard-fought and surpris- ingly brilliant match that ended with the score 18 to 0 in fayor of the men from the Montana mining fown. There was a big holiday crowd in at- tendance; the weather was perfect and the field in good condition.

The result of our game with Butte was what I expected. That Olympic team as a whole had never lined up together be- fore it faced Buite. There were two new men who did not know the signnla: Sea- right especially did not know the signals, The play of Olympic was, to use an appro- priate plirase, on the bum. We did not have a particle of interference. Of course the end rushes were not in good shape for getting down the field on kicks, and I kicked a good deal. / Our men would not get down low in the line, but fvould stand up and be carried back. To get low in the line is the only Way to stop mass plays. If we had had interference we could have run the Butte ends. McCormack without any assistance ran the ends sev- eral times. Butte plays 2 massy game, a game that a heavy, ignorant team would naturally play. Let five or six men get into a play and they could gain ground againstanv team in the world 1f they get the start. There is no trickery about it. 1do not think the Butte team is in it with either of the varsity teams. H. O. STICKNEY, Fullback Olympic Team. S DIFFERENT IN MONTANA. Benson, Berkeley’s Oid Captain, De- clares Butte People Would Not Hiss. Our game with the Olympic was the hardest we have played this season.

AS THE BALL MOVED AND BY WHOM. -ne opening play is indicated at the topof the diagram, and Is a kick-off from the center line of the gridiron ficld. After a touchdown ha; besn made the ball is again kicked off from the cen ter of the fleld. The object of each team is to reach the other’s goal line and carry the ball over for a touchdown. A team may retain possession of the ball as long as it gains five yards on three successive attempts or does not lose i to the other side by dropping it or by violating some rule of the game, AS soon asthe opposing sid- secures the ball by one of these means, or by catching it on s kick, that team tries to carry the ball back Ia the opposite direction. The teams change goals each half. dently outclassed almost from the first scrimmages. Spectators were surprised at the quality of football put up by the Montana team. The men played fast, and massed their strength upon the Olympic tackles re peatedly. During the game no less than fifty-one gains were made by this means, while the Olympic center trio were bucked through for eight gains, and the ends were success{ully rounded seven times by the Butte backs. Olympic, on the other hand, seem ed un- able to do with her backs what the repu- tation of the men led the spectators to ex- pect. Tuough twenty-lwo gains were made throu:h Butte tackies many of them were hardly more than gains. Four suc- cessful rush:s were made through Butte’s center and guusrds, together with the same number of gains round the ends. At times Seayight, the Stanford Varsity haliback, did well, but generally his work was very tar from the form he showed in the Thanksgiving mateh. He repeatedly lost ground when given the ball, partiy because the Butte men came piling throug: and downed him behind the line and partly because in at.empting to circle the ends he ran back to try to avoid being tackled and was caught by some one of the Butte men who seldom missed a tackle. Nolan, the West Point star, did not play, but his place was taken by McLaine, a sub-end on this season’s Sianford team. McCormick, Olympic’s other end, played probably the best end on the field, al- though he was several times bowled over by the speedy Gillis, who uses thestraight arm with telling effect upon a would-be tackler, Sheehy played the best game for Olym- pic. He got in the plays well, stole the ball three times, and wasa conspicuous figure in the line. McMillan was ruled off in the first half for slugging, and @illis, who took his place, had, because of an injury, to give way to little Harrington during the sec- ond half. Following is 2 summary of the game: Points—Butte 18 on 3 tonchdowas, 1 in first half by Right Halfback McMill from which a goal was kicked by Ful back iaswell, and in second half 1 by Fuliback Lasw from which he also l’l;klfl 1, 'mlmb l;l!hli I'Z:.d tlr’;'lfimn after g run uarter-back, the goal being again kicaed by Laswell, & Time of play—Two Sb-minite halves, the first balf really ocoupying 51 minuces and the second balf 57 minutes.

In fact I am sure of it. ‘We do not make any pretenses at hard training and strict dieting. Our regular training, obtained after the men are through their daily employment, consists in signal practice by electric light, often in enow, and a run back to town after- ward, the leve! ground being some dis- tance from the city, which is built upon hillsides, Belore this game we had just three nights' signal praciice at home, Then we were cooped up in a car for seventy-five hours in" coming to this City. We have had but one real good practice since we have been here. Our condition, therefore, is not up to its usual standa: We did not call time for wind but twice in the whole game. Every otber time there was a real injury and it was really necessary to suspend play. I ought to have reiired Jones from the field when he was first severely injured, but we had no other man for the place. 1 asked him to stay with it, and he did, and played a good game though nearly laid out after many of the rushes. Imust say I was a little ashamed of the California crowd the way it hissed on sev- eral occasions when Jones lay prostrate, and I am a Californian myself. If the same game had been played in Butte, with the places of the teams reversed, the Buzte people would have cheered the zood plays of the visitors as well as those of the home team and would have cheered a player plucky enough to keep on after he was badly fiurt. Butte does not make great pretenses to culture and higher edu- cation, but her good, plain working peo- ple are fair and sportsmanlike. ‘We were handicapped greatly by the loss of McMillan from the game, and by the absence of the reguiar captain, James Hoovper, who not only by his playing, but by his courage and de- :):rmhlllion, inspires the boys to do their st Our best play against Olympic was a straight buck outside or inside her right tackle. ~ The officials were very fair indeed, and I was satisfied with every decision they gave. .

Editor San Francisco Call—S1r: If Olym- pic thinks it can strengthen its team by adding outside men and would be wili- Ing todoso I am willing that it shoula add the best players it can gather in California to oppose the Butte team in our second match already arranged for New Year’s day. 1 should like Butte to have an oppor- tunity to meet a picked eleven from this State. The Aul-California team recently 1896. named by THE CALL might possibly be got together for a game with us. This Christmas game with the Olympics I think is the best that has ever been played on this coast. The officials were the most competent I ever saw in a game. GEORGE MCMILLAN, Manager Butte team.

The Washington Star reporter hap- pened to be in the florist’s shop when the sentimental girl made her appearance. She is ubiquitous and she seems to take an inordinate pride in the delicacy of her sen- sibilities. She didn’t know exactly what she wanted, “The chrysanthemums are very nice and large to-day, miss,”’ remarked the young man who is learning the business. *‘No,” she said, ‘1 don’t care for cbrys- anthemums. They are so coarse and os- tentatious. They seem to be flaunting their charms in your face so persistently that they lose that suggestion of gentlere- finement which to me is one of the sweet~ est attributes of a flower.” “Mebbe you'd like some nice fresh orchids?” said the young man. He had once worked in a dry-goods store and was bent on conveying the impression that it was no trouble to show goods. *‘We have some very pretty designs in orchids.” 'Omhids}f) They are too uncanny. I never care much for orchids, except for a little while. A momentary glimpse is fas- cinating, but there is nothing sympathetic about them.” “We have a lovely article in pinks.” “Ab, no. The perfume is oppressive. Thev remind me, with their elaborately formed petals, of nothlng save the vanity of life.” “How would you like some roses? We make a specialty of roses, and they’re on the vargain counter for this week only.” ‘I don’t care for roses, either. While Elnks suggest pride, roses are to me sym- olical of a disdainlul hauteur that is no less unworthy."’ f you want something retiring and quiet—neat but not gaudy, so to speak— let me show you our line of violets. Now there is something fine in the way of a violet.”” “What memories these flowers revive,’” she sighed. *‘They take me back to other days. How touched I was by the fra- grance of some violets that were given to me by—by a very dear friend. I cher- ished the little blossoms; but, alas! I found that they faded.”” “Well, miss,” the young man rejoined i the tone of one whose patience has been sorely tried, “flowers is flowers. - We can guarantee that you're getting as good as there is on the market when you come to us; full size and everything ex- actly as represented.
