8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 18 1897. OLYHPIE CLUD | DOES WELL, A Meeting of All the Mem-~ bers Will Be Held | To-Night. The 01d Eoard of Directors Will Continue to Hold Office. Excellent Showing Made by the Or-i ganisation During the Depressing Times. This evening & general meeting of the members of the Olympic Club will be | heid. The meeting is called at the in- stance of the Directors. 1t is for the pur- pose of acting on the subject of nomina- tions and is called by the president of the club, George A. Newhall. ; On Thursday, October 7th, the nomi- nating committee of the ciub reported to the Board of Directors that it was unable to submit to the club a list of nominations for officers for the ensuing year. At the meeting this evening there can be no question that the present officers and directors, with one exception, wiil be continued in office for another year. The Olympic Club is incorporated under the | Jaws of the State, which explicitly stipu- | late that officers of a corporation shall continue in office until their successors are appointed or elected. The present officers of the club are: | George A. Newhall, President; Henry J. Crocker, Vice-Presiaent; H. B. Russ, ! Treasurer; M. S. Latkam, Secretary; C. | P. Mor-e, Track Captain; J. O'B._Guan, Francis P. McLennan, A. C. Forsyth, Joseph P. Kelly and D. Wuite, Directors. A vote of thanks will undoubted!y be given these gentiemen for the efficient | manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the club, and they will be asked to continue in power. The trouble with the Olympic Club in the past, as well as at present, is the fre- quency with which it changes directors, In the New York Athletic Club the di- rectors are elected for terms of two, four { and six years, consequentiy no radical | changes are made in conducting the ai- | fairs of toe ciub. The pian of nolding an | election every year in the Olympic Club, | ousting the old board of directors and supplanting it wita a new, Las on a num- | ber of occasions seriously cripplea the club, the places of the members of the old | board being filled by men diametrically opposed to their views. If the constitu- tion of the club could be amended to con- form with tbat of the New York C.ub, in- telligent men who have given the subject careful consideration say it would be highiy beneficial in increasing the stabil- ity of the govern:ng body. There have been many disquieting ru- mors concernine the financial standing of the Olympic Club; that the 1nitiation fee and dues were to be raised and that it was to be aisificorporated. In speaking on this subject last evening Francis P. McLennan, a prominent mem- ber of the clab and chairman of the house committee, said: “Thess rumors nodoubt uave injured the club. They are groundless, however. Last year, while our income was $6000 less than dur- ing the preceling year, we paid interest on vur $225,000 bonds, and on the note beld by the First National Bank for $29,500, increasing our debt only $400. this without cutting down a privileze or reducing the corps of instruciors. Ii is true, ke our predecessors, we have pro- vided no sinking fund. The building s in shipsbape order, $1000 alone being ex- pended on painting. “In reference to increasing the dues it would be hard to say what effect it would | bave. Personally I would mucn rather bave 2 ciub composed of 1000 members | paving $5 each a month, than a club of 1700 mem oers paying $3 each a month. | “But the Olympic Club is not a social club. 1ts low initiation /es and dues per- | mil worthy young men who are in mode- | | | | | | | Tate circumstances to become members. The privilezes furnished by the club for tte money are the greatest in the worid. Iam not in favor of increasing the dues.” Mr. McLennan was asked about the proposed cirnival of sporis to be held for a weck at the Mechanics' Pavilion. He answered that the ciut had receatiy «ffil- iated with an ARmateurathletic associatio .. This affi.iation would debar proiessional- ism, and he doubted if the proposed scheme could be made to pay. In reference to raising the dues it wouid | require an amendment to the constitu- | tion. The constitution cannot be amended without two-thirds of the members vote | in the affirmative. While some of the | mere wes.thy members of tne club favor an increase in the dus, the great body of | the members are violently opposed to the proposition. THE PERIL OF THE NATION.| Dr. Stephens Says the Greatest Danger | Is the Liquor Trade. Rev. John Stephens of Simpson Memo- rial Church, aelivered an interesting ser- mon last evening, his subject being: “The Greatest Peril of Our Nation,” The greatest peril of the nation, according to | the minister, is the liquor traffic and the saloons. With an eloquence that shows the interest he has in the causeof temper- ance that he advocates in church and out, he pictured the horrors that invariably result from the excessive use of intoxi- cating liquors, and what the universal in- dulgence therein will surely lead to, Con- tinuing, be stated that the reason that the American people drink, is not that they think jt is of any benefit to them, but because they like whisky. For all this reason the pleasure does not compen- sate for the cost. This, he said, is proved by the fact that the estimated value of iiquor in the United States is greater than ail of the gold taken out of the mines ot Callfornia since the time the precions metal was discovered at Butter's mill. And, iurther, the cost of the stuff smounis to morein a year than the cost of the bread and meat of the en- tire population. While the-e statements were startling he said that others connecied with the liquor trade are more startling. For in- stance, the people spend only one-tenth as much for eaucational purposes as they do for whisky, and twenty times as much for liquor as they do in the cause of religion. Nine-tentbs of the izsanity and five-sev- enths of the crime in the iand is 0 be traced directly to the same cause. He asserted that while the United States claims 10 be among the foremost nations on the earth she is behind several in the matter of protecting its citizens from this curse. Norway, Canadaand Kngland have 1aken the initiative in putting down this evil, or at least in prescribing and limiting its use. Dr. Btepnens is of the opinion that Cali- foruia is morally inferior to the other Btates of th Union because she has more saloons in proportion to the population than any other, and hence the corruption must pe frightful. In conclusion he said that the only way to lessen the periltothe nation is to drive out the saloons, but he failed to state how this isto be accom- plished. ——————— To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Diana Proves to Be a Fast One and Easily Wins the Final, Good Dogs, Good Hares and Fine Weather Qontribute to a Good Day's Sport. G. Weitney of San Jose sprang a sur- prise on the talent at Ingleside coursing park yesterday with two puppies which he entered in the open stake race. They were the only young dogs entered, and as against the cracks of the aged di- vision were not thought to have a chance. But instead of being downed early in the day, as was expected, they both ran in the last ties, and one of them calied Zoe ran in the final, but was beaten by Diana. After the hare was killed in the final, however, and before tue dogs could be caught, they started another hare in the field, and gave the prettiest exhibition of the day. In this unofficial race Zoe put it all over Diana, and the crowd went home convinced that Zoe was the wonder of the day. The two youngsters are full brother and sister, both being by Emin Pasha out of Rockette, and the dog, which is called Theron, shared the honors of the day with his sister. The largest crowd of the season, fully 6000 people being present, enjoyed one of | the best days’ sport had in a long while, and althouzh the talent got some hard bumps they also sent through some siz- zling bot favorites. The stake was tie biggest ever offered on the coast for a race of this class, the total value of it bein $390. Diana, who won the final, is a St. Louis dog, owned by Kuy & Trant, and she is one of the fastest dogs ever seen at Ing! side, She and Connemara put up one of the preitiest races of the day in the third ties, Both dogs are coal black, and they ran al- most neck and neck the whole distance. Diana also gave the talenta dump when she beat Skyball, reputed to be the fastest dog on the coast. The betling was 5 to 33 in favorof Skyball. Tod Sloan, who had an excellent chance, was withdrawn afier his race in the third ties. Sloan and Said Pasha were matched in this The first two hares resulted 1n “no goes,’’ and although Sloan won on the third atlempt, it was not thought ad- visable to siar: him again. There were many high class dogs en- tered, among them being Magician, a crack Chicagodog, and St. Cloud, winner of second prize at Merced last year. The usual Monday practice run-.was abolisned two weeks ago, and as a result the hares were remarkably strong and iast yesterday. Thelargely increased attendance at the Sunday races bas forced the management 1o provide better accommodations for the public, and this week the grand stand will be eniarged and elevated, and the seats and floors will be so arranged that a good view of the park can be had from every point. Firm Friend, the dog who was injured in his race with Magnet on Saturday, may never start again,as he is badly hurt about the head. He is an imported dog and & very valuable one. The betting yesterday was exceptionally heavy aud the puol boxes had all they The ties resulted as follows First ties—J. Quane’s Princess Marie ran a bye, R. H. Bn dwin’s Tod Sioan beat Curtis & Sou’s Wildflower, Miramonte kennel’s Said Pasha peit Kuy and Trant's Magician, Merriwa keunel's St. Cloud beat Miramonte kenunel’s Magic beat W. E.

The handball courts were crowded yes- terday and several closely contested games were witnessed. At the San Francisco court the event of the day was a game in which M. J. K igallon and A. Hampton played against J. C. Nealon and P. T. Donnelly, the amateur champion. Much to the surprise of the spectators Nealon and Donneliy were defeated, although the final was only won by two aces. Several improvements have been made in the court Jduring the past week, includ- ing a new wal:, which adds materially to the pleasure of the players. A nomber of old-timers played in the Occidental court ana gave the new ele- ment several pointers. Among the fea- tures of the day was a game between John Condon and J. Slattery and J. O'Donnell and P. Kelly, the former winning alter an exc.ting struggle. Following were the games played in the courts: San Francisco—L. Waterman and N. J. Pren- dergast defeated N. Berger and J. R.

OLYMPIGS WERE WHITEWASHED The Stocktons Shut Them Out Without a Tally in a Hot Contest. Three Men Breast the Waves|Neither Team Was Able to Round the Seal Rocks and Beat Cavill's Record The Time Made in the Trip Was Five Minutes Faster Than Has Hitherto | Been Accomplished, The efforts of the California Swimming Club to revive interest in natatorial sporis met with ihe most encouraging success yvesterday afternoon, when an imunense crowd lined the beach south of tne Chiff House to watch the rough-water swim- ming contest for the gold medal offered by the club. There were eleven starters, three succeeded in getting clear round the rocks, two touched the rock and came back the long way against the current and the winner surpassed Cavill’s record by five minutes. R. B. Cornell, on whose breast the | beautiful gold medal was fustened as the | reward of victory, went over what 18 | called the long course in thirty minutes, | snd George A. Henkel, who was second, made the trip in thirty-four minutes, he also going over the long course. A. Baker, who went around by what is known as the short course, took only twenty-nine minutes, and as the <hort courss was the route on which the Australian swimmer made what has hitherto been the fastest time on record, all three of the above- | mentioned men have beaten Cavill's rec- ord of thiriy-five minutes. The long course is from the end of the Olympic pier, around the outmost rocks, and then back to the beach south of the Cliff House. Jt is estimated to be nearly a quarier of a mile farther than the short course, which is from the startinz point around the rocks to the landing back of the Sutro Baths. The swimmers yester- day went with the current down to the rocks and coming back they had to force their way against it. There was one starter who turned back when only a few hundred yards from the pier and the swell was so heavy he seemed for several minutes to be making no pro ressat all, although exerting himseif to the utmost. It must have appeared to him for a while as if it were more dcifficult for him to re- turn than to go round tne rocks. When he did finaliy reach the foot of the pier he was so exhausted he could barely drag himself out of the water. Four others successively dropped out of the race and reached the beach with considerable ditfi- culty through the surf. | The two who touched the rocks and re- turned to the bezch, F. Barrett and O. C. Schulte, made the trip in 28 minutes. J. Phillips was taken with cramps when far out in the ocean and had tw give up his efforts to reach the rocks. His right leg became useless and he was compeiled to | swim with one leg to the beach. The next man to come in was A. Baker, who bad | started out with a banner of the club, in- tending to valiantiy storm the rocks ana piant the flag thereon in spite of any | efforts the sealions might make to repel the assault, but when he arrived atthe toot of the rocxs the monsters looked so menacing his courage failed him and he d cided to swim round. However, as he beat Cavill’s record by six minutes ne woa laureis enough to satisfy him for cne day. Next Sunday a party of tie swimmers will go to the rocks with rubber shoes on to protect their feet,and wiil plant the | club’s banner on the top of it. George A. Henkel came in four minutes after Cor- | nell and was loudly cheered by the mem.- | bers of Lie club who were very anxiously awaiting him. His teeth were chattering with thelonz exposure to the cold water and he seemed very much fagged out. A. W. Wehe, the new president of the club, was the starter, H. Her'zog and M. Vizoureux were the judge-, and Leo Allenberg, A. Hanton and R. Patterson were the timekecpers. The ciub iniends 1o continue these rough-water races and bopes to cause a revival of interestin swimming, and to increase their mem ber- shiv. R. B. Cornell will ins ruct ail the new members in the art 1n which he 1s so exvert. Next Suncay at 3 o’clock there willbe another contest in the ocean. Cor- nell challenges all comers to swim with him for the championship be now holds. Tue prizes next Sunday will bea goid and a silver mecal THE PARK IS THRONGED. The Best Attendance for Twelve Months Packed Tts Walks and Drives Yesterday. The beautiful weather yesterday after- noon caused an unusual number of people to seek an outing. Golden Gate Park was thronged with pedestrians, bicycle-riders, equestrians and drivers of many kinas of vehicies. Captain Thomson of the park police says the crowd was the largest which he has zeen tnere in the past six months, and Superintendent McLaren estimates that it surpassed any collection of pleasure-seekers who have gatherea there in the past twelve months, The mu:eum as usual was visited by many of these, and the center of attrac- tion was the three magnificent pieces of statuary which have just been vut on ex- hibition there through theinstrumental- ity of Mayor Pheian. All the afternoon groups were gathered about the images of Saul, Delilah and Merope, and many ex- pressions of admiration were heard. = Among the new donations sre two por- iraits of General SButter, and a Madouna, from John Bardweil; a war drum, and a most wonderiully well-made fishnet of the Kiamath Indians, which were presented :{ ex-Superintendent John Dagzett of the int. The strings of which the net is made is of the fiber of a hemp-like grass, and is as smoot.: and strong as some of the best of our modern manufactured cords. Itis woven in diamond patterns and is very bandsome. The crowd at the Sutro Baths was a good deal jarger than even the number which last Sunday aiternoon greeted Friiz Scheel’s orchestra. T'he chief fea- ture there was Lbe aerial performances of Charm on, whose grace and daring gave creat pleasure to the audience. The fa- vorite of the boys in the tanks was ev! dently the dancer, Trixideds, for they gathered out of the water to watch and the bush of their usual! continnous racket proved that they were being very highly entertained. At the Chutes also tnere was a very large crowd where the usual sports and the new feature of feeding the lions in public took place. —————— A Burglar Scare. J. W. McCormick, 4038 Seventeenth street, telephoned to the Seventeenth-street police station that burglars were in his house. Two officers were sent !n 1he patrol wagon ana on arriving there McCormick told them it was all amisiake. A neighbor hud told bim in com- ng howe thatbe saw & lignt in his kitchen | Bruning_heid and concluded ibat burglars were around. An investization showed that the neighbor had been laboring under a humannmg. E Score Until the Sev- enth Inning. Reliance Won From the Gilt Edges. Santa Clara Defeats Will & Fincks—Other Games The Olympics were given a taste of the same meaicine that they administered to Reliance a week ago by the Siocktons yes- terday, but in a much larger do-e. The vmile that Manager JackMc Glynn’s countenance wore during the past weel pas whoily disappeared, and when last seen he was making for a place where deep mourning could be bought. The hotly contested game was witnessed by a great gathering of baseball enthus- asts, which seems to increase at every suc- ceeding rame. Each speciator felt in duty bound to use his or her voice, and the great racket that floated over the grounds would Lave done credit to the wildest kind of a politi- cal celebration. Neither team was able to score until the seventh inning, although haviug men re- peatedly on bases. It was iu the seventh when Stockion began hostilities. Harper was safe on a hit 10 short and was ad- vanced on Walter's sacrifice. Smits flew high in the air, and after ju:gling the call it. Diminutive *“Coo'z” Billings then stepped to the rubber, and waitinz fora nice one, hit square on the nose and sent it far out over the center fiel ler’s head for two cushions. And then you shouid have heard the howl of delight as Harper scurried home! The vast vol- ume of sound was a vivid reminder of the days when present players sat in the bleachers dreaming of the future. Monohan, late of Central Park, had the first opportunity to hit a lively ball, and ne made the most of it. He slammed it n the same direction, and *Cootsy” reached home safely. Monohan taking second and ihird on Zsus' high throw to the plat: He scored a moment later on Charley Ford’s only passed ball. In the ninth Stockton gathered another. Waiters gained his base on Bruning’s fumble, and was advanced by Smith’s sacrifice. Then Billines repeated his per- formance by rapping out a szcond two- bageer, and Walters scored. The O.ympics were unable to do_much with G:orge Harper's delivery. He has not lost any of his old-time speed and was at bis best. Whnenever he was batted far the Stocktons’ nimble fielders were always there. In the fitth inning occurred the only double play of the game, but it was the finest seen in many moons. It prevented Stockton from scoring when three men were on the bags. Harper was safe on Peovles’ error and was advanced to third on Walters’ and Smith being hit by ‘Wheelin. Biilings sent a hot one to Peoples, who returned it in time to shut Harper off at the plate. Monohan then hit to Gos- linsky, who returned the ball to Ford, and Walters went out. Smith seemed to be bewildered, as he wasat Walters' heels, and was also put out. Wheeler was a trifle wild during the whnole game and the Olympics all seemed to have an off day. The foilowing score tells more about it: OLYMPICS AB. R BH. SB PO. A E Van Norden,rf....3 0 v 0 U 0 0 Peoples, 3. VD e o S T SABL 0 R R g gy T e e G e e Gos ins<y. 201k 22 Zan, c.d.

SACRAMENTO, CaL, October 17.— Over 2000 people saw ths Reliance of Oak- land defeat the Gilt Edge baseball team at Snowflake Park to-day by a score ot 8 to 5. The gume was oue of the best piayed here this season, and while there was a sprinkling of costly errors many of the in. dividual plays were of a puenomenal or- der. Van Haitren and Stanley filled the points for the Reliance team and Harvey and Farrell !id likewis2 for the Brewers. Van Haltren, aiter 1he first three in- nings, settled down and pitched asplendid game, and Staniey’s work benind the bat i< seldom equaled for sureness and effi- cieacy. Faireli’s hands wer: sore and he could not hold Harvey’s aclivery. Neither pi:cher was hard uit and the Reliancs won out by superior base run- ning. Riley at short made two costly er- rors and was jollied by the crowd. The feature of the game,was Lange’s phenome- nal work at third base, where he accepted a dczen chances without a break. Lock- head, for the home team, played a great game at short.

The home ieam put up an unusually poor game to-day, some of the best players making inexcusable errors. An immense crowd was out to witness the game. An excitins incident occurred in tbe last in- ning. Hayes, the star batter of the Re- publicans, bad krocked a three-bagger 1nto leit field. The third baseman played out to as«ist the fieider and Schmeer, the shortstop for the Alerts, hela down the third bag. By the prompt field work of the visitors the'ball was a: third base when Hayes was within five feet of the ba: Schmeer at the same time appiie ( & vile epitbet to Hayes. The runucr had started for the vench when Scameer m-de ihe offensive remark. Hayes turned rround and de- livered a neavy blow with his left on Schmeer’s neck, and the Aiert’s shortstop nk to the ground in a heap. 0'Kane, first baseman for the Alerts came run- ning up and Hayes was sbout to punch him, when Deputv Sheriff Timmins ran on to thediamond and prevented further bostilities. Tke Republicans did not play in their usual places. Chance’s finger still prevented him from caiching and he playcd first. McCarthy, who was lame, was behind the bar. Thompson did not pitch up to his usual standard. STOCKTON, CAL., Oct. 17.—Much in- terest was manifested by the public in the game of baseball played this afternoon between the Antioch nine and the team from the Terminal City Wheeimen of this city. About a month ago the nines met at Antioch and the Stockton team won by a score of 5to4in a closely contested and exciting game. Since then there bas been keen rivalry between the nines anc to-day the supremacy was setiled. The game was in the Stocktons’ hands from start to hnish. Garvin for the home team pitcned a good game and only seven hits | were made off him. In the third inning the local nine made ten runs and after that ¢id not make any great effort to shut out the visitors. They had an easy time of it and the score of 15 to 10 in favor of the local team told the story at the end of the ninth innin e At C:=n:ra! Park. The attendance at Central Park de- creases at every game. Tbhis is due to the fact tha: baseball enthusiasts prefer to travel a few blocks down Eighth street to see a game with plenty of ginger in it. The Will & Fincks lost through lack of stick work and y llow fieldin . Santa Clara used two pitchers to gain the vic- tory, and both men did good work. Knell struck seven men outand pitched a strong game. The fo.lowing score telisthestory: WILL& FINCKS. AB. B. B SB. PO. A E Smitt, 5. s (g SR TR e Colling, r.
