McCausland should have come fully prepared with evervthing needful Pape should have refused to pull in a match in which he had no com- ‘mumr. and the regatta committee, know- ng that the public wished to see a race between Pape and McCausland, should have used every effort to bring them to- gether. Excluding the shell race, which. in the absence of the Stockton man, was a row-over, there were only three events on the programme, and the order in which these events were pulled off was immaterial to the spectators. By defer- ring the special match till after the senior @kiff race, McCausland could have had Patch’s sculls. and would have been left absolutely without excuse; he must have either pulled or definitely refused to pull against Pape. Determination in carrying out a programme is an excellent thing, but In this Instance it deorived spectators of the event they came to see. ——— e Read the Exciting travels of two | French adventurers who were five years making their way from San/ Diego to Paris, in next Sunday’s Call. ————— The estimated cost of American wars is as follows: Revolutionary war, 1775-82, $135,193,000; war with Great Britain, 181 15, $107,159.000; Mexican war, 1846. 000; civil war, 1861-5. $3,025,000,000. —_———— , $66,( THE CRYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS.

As Captain of the Placer County eleven and for several years one of the vice-presi- dents of the California Cricket Assocla- tion A. E. Coates was one of the most ardent supporters of the game in this State. When teams from San Franclsco visited Penryn and partook of the gener- ous hospitality of the citrus colony club A. E. Coates was untiring in his efforts to make the outing agreeable. At a meeting of the California Cricket Association held July 19 at the office of the gecretary, 508 Montgomery street, it was decided to carry out the match set for to-morrow at Golden Gate—Banks and Insurance vs. All-Comers.

C It has been decided by the new rules committee of that body that no further modification of the classification will be | permitted, with the exception that cer- tain large shows will be designated as the only ones at which championship honors will be conferred. On the Paciflc Coast San Francisco will be the only one entitled to this honor. Of course, this means a declaration of open war on the coast and will be so accepted. The convention of kennel clubs Wil mect, adopt the rules as now for- mulated or amended, and send them to the A. K. C. thus indorsed. If, as fore- shadowed, the proposed rules are reject- ed, it 1s more than probable that th clubs of the coast will execute the oft- threatened secession and form a local kennel league. There can be no doubt that the league will xbe a strong one and will be on a firm basis. iO!lmm'\d Van Every of Oakland has sold his well-known Great Dane, Don Caesar, by Rix’s Prince, out of Princess Dagmar, to George L.

He came right back the fourth in 2:13%, and had them all trotted to a standstill. The ‘*‘much touted” Percy, as he has been called, won a neat victory at De- troit, and, too, stepped a heat in 2:13.

The Supreme Court has reversed the decision of the Superior Court of Inyo County in the case of Mrs. Flora M. Sherman against L. F. J. Winkle, who lays claim to a large plece of land upon the shores of Owens Lake. An old act permitted a citizen to file upon land formed by receding waters, but only 640 acres can be thus secured. One survey showed that Wrinkle's piece was less than this amount, but a second survey showed that there were 642 acres. Mrs. Sherman made application to purchase the land and the point in her complaint to get Wrinkle off the land was that he held more than allowed by law and should be dispossessed of the whole. She was suc- cessful in the lower court, but the Su- Y{reme Court took the position that Wrin- le could not have known the exact amount, and that He could not be accused of filing on more than the law permits.

A FOOTBALL TEAM FOR THE OLYMPICS The outlook for the football season & few weeks back was very discouraging. It then seemed as if there would be but two first-class elevens in the field, those wearing the blue and gold of the Univer- sity of California and the cardinal of Stanford. But now comes the intimation of the Olympic Club to form a team. Without one of the athletic clubs repre- sented on the gridiron there would be but one football game of any consequence, the intercollegiate match on Thanksgiv- ing day. Two years ago when the Olympic Club withdrew from the Pacific Athletic As- | sociation of the Amateur Athletic Union it divorced itself from all possible com- | petition with the big universities on ac- count of stringent prohibitions issued by that body against all competition with clubs or organizations outside the pale of their jurisdiction. The Olympic Club has now seen the errors of its ways and will make an attempt to re-enter the Pacific Athletic Association. Pete Smith, the great organizer of ath- letic elevens, is back from Anaconda, and it is very likely that the task of formation wiil again fall to him. Smith has just re- turned from Montana, where he put in a season of play and work. The Reliance Club_will not put a team in the field if the Olympic does—that is the agreement that has been reached between them. This is due to the paucity of football materfal in and about this city. Butte and Anaconda have depleted the local ranks to such an extent that the search for sufficient material to fill out a sin- le strong eleven will be fraught with labor. The st graduating classes of the universities will furnish a few play- ers and there are still some of the old men left. Anaconda has taken six of our best local football talent. McHugh, Arlett, Oliver, Thierkauf, Wilbur and Edmondson are Y‘]fl)‘h’ls: under Anaconda’s banners. Butte as Benson and Mahoney, one of Reli- ance's players. The University of California will begin its fall semester in two weeks, and the preparatory work of the season will be- gin at once. Cochran will be there to coach the blue and gold men. Stanford's season will begin at least weeks later. Cross will be their instructor. ——— Dr. Shrady, president Red Cross Society, writes about the chances of our soldiers in war, in next Sunday’s | Call. _— ADVERTISEMENTS. ‘("js l‘AL oo, P 2 DOCTOR SWEANY E RESTORES LOST VIGOR AND vitality to weak men.
