C, banded them- selves into a chorus of walts Christ- mas eve. “Adeste Fidells” and *“Noel” were caroled merrily before different resi- dences from midnight until Christmas The singing of the popular old Yuletide melodies sounded very beau- tiful on the frosty morning air. The cadets borrowed the idea from the quaint old-country custom of serenad- | | ing friends on Christmas eve, and the folks entertained voted the innovation a great success. —_————— Handball Sports.

If it is public approval that estab- lishes the relative fitness of things, fleld are “a frost—a killing frost.” now and then sucked an jnjured fin- ger; at regular intervals the bloomers were adjusted to the proper sphere, but an “ouch”—never. Although not a financlal success the football impresario was more than sat- isfled with his teams. Their scientific achievements were exactly what he had all along expected and predicted. It was the inevitable result of his master- ly forethought. Each player, accord- ing to the impresario, had to be physi- caily sound. Their lungs and hearts had to be examined and pronounced fit for the arduous duties of the football field, and each had to be armed with a signed certificate of good morals. A pretty little “Oakland Brown,” as extra girl, whom the management had provided in case of accident, submitted gracefully to the interview and shed some light on the ways of woman foot- ball teams and football management. “I joined the team through the me- dium of an advertisement. I thought it was for some sort of theatrical work, you know she said. “I'm a profes- sional. I've been in the circus business since—since ever 1 can remember,” and this with great brown eyes gazing in- nocently and steadfastly out on the fleld, as though all the world was one great double trapeze or Roman ring. She explained how some of the “Oak- land Browns” lived in Oakland, and that they all pretended to hail from the slumberous towns across the bay. “Nearly all the girls are profes- sfonals,” she went on to explain. “They are nearly all ballet girls. Most of them are married and some have families. Although we never met be-. fore e all lfke one another, and really”—with a most engaging, in- genuous smile—"“we don’t care which side wins. We are going to try to make it a draw. FEach girl gets $5 for each game and that'’s all we care for. “The only secret we had was about | the basket we gave our captain. The grays did not know a thing about it. | Each girl put 25 cents. We had in- tended to get Nim a gold-headed cane, but”—and she went on to explain that, according to football ethics, flowers were permissible, though canes were debarred.

There was none of the wild enthusigsm one learns to ex- pect in contests of this kind. There was no cheering, no wearing of colors, but a delightful, placid indifference as to which side was to win and a mild Velodrome y nine gore. Society graced not the game by its presence, and there were no tin horns. However, Billy Jordan was there, and declared in the tone of a prophet that the game was “certainly not brutal and pretty good, consider- ing.” Play was announced for 2 o'clock P. M., but it was close on to 3 before the contesting teams lined up on the opposite sides. The audienc which had been swapping matches and, inci- dentally, reminiscences of former games, while assuring one another that “‘girls could never play football,” sud- denly burst into wild cheers that di4 infinite credit to the condition of their pulmonary organs. Even then the game did not begin. The *“Oakiand Browns” turned their backs on the “Frisco Grays,” while the “Frisco Grays” studlously avoided the “Browns” from thé other side of the bay, deftly hitched up their bloomers and, incidentally, pulled up their hose. Now and then a “Gray” ran across the field or a “Brown” kept Amazon march step to the stirring music of the band. When the signal summoning the teams to action sounded both sides lined up blithely and smilingly, and the Grays showed unusual tact while they watched with graceful nonchalance the best young man, the captain of the Browns, present to their trainer a bas- ket of golden chrysanthemums and violets. Then the play began. The uninitiated declared it a game of ‘“London bridges”; the condescending man said “it might be worse,” and the *con- stant attendant” called it not football, but “tiddlewinks.” However, no one said it was brutal. Now and then a stray curl was dis- placed, or a jaunty cap pushed awry, but in spite of the eagerness with which every one looked for it, there was no hair-pulling. The women took their punishment, such as it was, with becoming forti- tude. They rolled -over on the ground, if not exactly in conformity with Del- sarte methods, still with all the grace at their command, and scored the greatest and most memorable victory | of their sex—for they never once said “Ouch.” They kept tying and retying their | halr, in accordance with the written i precedents made by man for woman; desire to see some hair-pulling and, | incidentally, a slight spilling of femi- | The “Frisco Grays” met the “Oak- | teams have only been in practice for and willing to learn, and rehearsals there were no kicking nor hard knocks the girls hit one another 1 € o. when lost in the excitement game.

In spite of the good intentions of the participants the game was not a draw. The “Oakland Browns” were the prettiest girls, but the “Frisco Grays” were the better players. And the Grays won—20 to 8. —— THE GIRL KICKERS. An Intercollegiate Football Player’s Opinion of the Game. “Well, I don’t know; the girls did pretty well, considering,” remarked a Stanford College player who witnessed the “modified” Rugby football game as played yesterday at the Velodrome grounds between the Frisco Grays and the Oakland Browns. “Of course, I did not come here ex- pecting to witness a scientific contest, but just for curiosity’s sake I happened into this place to-day,” he continued. “Well, what do you think of the girls as athletes and prospective champion football plavers?” was asked of the Stanford athlete. “What do I think of them? Guess they are all right. But girls never can play a boy's game, and vice versa. Still this is awfully amusing and in- teresting in its way. Now, some of those girls can really be made to play a good game of bail. That Miss Hart is & corker. She can run like a deer, and how she clings to the pigskin! She must be truly muscular. “And there is—what'’s her name? Yes, I see by the line-up it is Dolly Wallace of the Frisco Grays. She is another corker in bucking the center. She's all right. She will make a player some day, with practice. And on the oppo- sition I have selected Miss Leonard and Miss Belle Eigin as the most ex- pert of the team. “Miss Leonard is unquestionably a real good player, considering. Of course, she will improve with age and practice. Without practice what can girls do on an athletic field.” e Advances made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal.J.

No One Pleased Because the Big Event Was Forced Upon a Holiday. Misunderstandings on Account of the Ambiguity of the Orders. There was more growling to the square yard at the Shell Mound rifle range yesterday than there ever was before in the history of the range. The trouble was on account of the orders of the high officials of the National Guard of California making rules, regulations and orders which prohibit holding State competitions for State decora- | tions on Sundays, as in former years. This meant that if the men of the militia desire to win honors with the rifle they must either lose several days’ work or shoot on holidays. This is what the First Infantry Regiment did yesterday because the former shoots were postponed since Septem- ber. Thére were several features of the occasion that made the boys in blue feel annoyed. In the first place many fine turkey dinners grew cold waiting to be consumed. Again the best holi- day of the year was knocked out by the shoot. Then it was cold as a north wind could make it. And last, but not least, no one In the matches knew where he “was at,” for there was. a sad lacking of directions, or too many orders, from the Adjutant-General's office ‘as to the conditions of the vari- ous matches. Some thought that it was the intention to have the men shoot five shots each on the 200, 300 and 500 yard ranges, others that ten shots should be fired and still others who didn’t propose to take any chances of losing their decorations decided to fire three five-shot scores on each of the ranges. Their contention was that in order to secure the standard of marksmanship of 56 points on the 200- vard range and 45 on the other two it would be necessary to do lots of shoot- ing, and they did so—but the com- plaints were loud and long. The attendance was much larger than any of the officers expected it would be, and the score cards were not intended for the work that was done. As a result many of the men did not finish their records, but left after putting in several scores and said they would finish before the year is over, as will be necessary in order to secure the coveted decorations. Rifle Inspector Lieutenant W. H. Tobin, Colonel “Jim” Smith and Major Hugh Sime had their hands full keep- ing track of the records made during the day, but with the large number of scores on hand they are provided | against all emergencies. The best | scores of the day were made by C. F. | Waltham of Company C, Captain | Warren of Company H and Sergeant Cobby of Company M. As the con- tests will not be finished before the | end of the year, and as all who began did not complete their scores, the full records cannot be given, but the an- nexed are not far from correct for yesterday's shooting on the three ranges. hree five shot scores, best possible 75 points: COMPANY A. 200. itz 1 H ul J Barberr! 2 1617 17 61413 x ; Captain Filme Wilson .

Chiet of Police Lees has instructed his men to arrest all the suspiclous characters they may meet. The in- structions were issued because of the numerous reports of burglaries and petty pilferings that have recently been made at police headquarters. Shortly after 10 o’clock yesterday morning Detectives Tom Gibson and Egan arrested two well dressed young men, who, they claim, are clever crooks. They gave their names as “Jack” O'Brien and James Reynolds, and were locked up in the tanks pend- ing an investigation. It is sald that the men have been | “working" the stores on Market street, and it is estimated that their booty amounts to several hundred dollars. Thelr plan was to pick out an “easy” store and while one acted as a “look out” the other would enter and pre- tend to be anxlous to buy a Christmas present for his “best girl.” While the clerk’s attention was engaged the “look out” would secretly enter the store and purloin articles of value. He would conceal them in an overcoat, which he conveniently carried on his left arm. The same detectives have also ar- rested several other men who they strongly suspect of being crooks. They will be held pending an inves- tigation. ——————— Ready for the Pageant.
