8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 189¢ ettt rr b Lt OLYMPICS AND STANFORDS ON THE GRIDIRON + | D R R The game this afternoon between the | Oympic eleven and the representative | team of the Stanford University at the | Recreatlon Grounds will not afford much | of a test as to the comparative strength of the blue and gold and cardinal elevens. The season is a bit too early to form judgments on the efficlency of the col- jege teams on account of the variable quantities which the Olymples present. There is as vet no solidification in the mthletic club team, as it has not found its measure and is in the experimental Btage. | The great surprise to football plavers and enthusiasts was the showing made by California in game last Saturday. 444 + + + + S + +| + The victory its score, 170, looks well on its e people from across the bay, but all is told and the proper deductions are made the result %oes not appear in such brilliant colors.

OF THE OLYMPIS TUnder the leadership of John Hammrer- emith and George James there has been instituted a revival of the athletic spirit among members of the Olympic ub. The indoor baseball games, which are played a couple of times a week in the club gymnasium, are attracting large crowds of spectators, and the ranks of the players are rapidly filling up also. The games are as mirth-provoking as a roaring comedy. Treated seriously the indoor game of ball will soon become a popular exercise, as it offers all the pos- sibilities of outdoor ball in a confined area. To-morrow thére will be a big cross- country run, in which the Olympic ath- Jetes will have a chance to breek records ip running and feasting. The course be- gins at the boathouse at Tiburon, then around the bay to Californla City and El Campo, and then return to the Belvedere Hotel, where a lunch will be served. The dressing for the run will be done at the clubhouse of the boatmen. | and | guests The [Fiald P e g NORTHERN DUCKS ARRIVE - WITH THE STORM Tr4 4444444444444 The rainstorm of last Sunday morning a damper on the fondest anticipations + + + + + e R b o R S +44 put of the first-Sund -the-year sportsmen.

The heavy downpour of Sunday c morning soaked everything in touch, not excepting the unfortunates who had mped out with the sole purpose of being among the il “bright and early” on the first holiday of the season. But the quail-shooters had companions who fared and they were caught by the rain we king just as they had reached their “blinds” and w patiently awaiting the first light of day to open fire on the northern invade! It was about 5 a. m. when the sky dark- ened ominously about the Suisun marsh- es, and P ¢ the rain fell in torents.

Thursday afternoon a corporation was formed consisting of the following well-known players: Charles Page, Hor- ace Pillsbury, Walter Dean, Joseph D. Grant and Charles P. Eells. It is the purpose of this corporation to bufld and lease a handsome clubhouse for the San Francisco club. Already very nearly §5000 has been subscribed by the incorpc and it will not be many days before the foundation is laid for a handsome house with all the modern appointments. The grounds will receive an overhauling and the links will be laid out anew. The mem- bers of the San.#rancisco Club promise some interesting tournaments for the win- ter.

It is a play unsur- passed for simplicity; one that should never be permitted to exist in the game at Recreation Park, and that I have in- tended to criticize ever since the consoli- dation. E The play in question has been consum- mated In the same manner by all teams since the beginning of the season. It has never been played properly yet, although every player is acquainted with the man- ner in which to go about it, which fact, by the way exalted individual of late by thelr * base hits. With a funner on the initial base, or first on third, the first mentioned gentle- man s continually permitted to plifer the second cushion. ~About once In twenty times some half-hearted attempt is made to catch him while he is plifering th base, but it always ends unsuccessfull owing principally to the amount of diffi- dence displayed on the part of those con- ducting the play. + + + o + + + + ff days,” and lack of Sometimes the catcher will throw to second in the hope of drawing on tha third base runner; sometimes he will throw to the pitcher for the same pur- pose; sometimes he will, by a quiet move, endeavor to deceive this man on third by making what is termed a bluff throw to second, but hardly ever does he attempt to really catch that man running from first to second. He fs allowed to steal that base without being molested, and the lea seems to prevail that he cannot be ught without the man on third scoring. The idea, permit me to say, is horribly wrong. A runner on third can score, if the play breaks properly for him, but he takes a_very big chance every time he | starts. In fact, if the play be perfect, he nnot score, nor can that man on first steal second. The simple fact of there being a runner on third does not in any | tryin, i | | | | | | | reflects no credit on the more | [2d, tipped off made so consplicuous | house here, was married last Wednesday, the 5th, at Delphos, Ohio, to a Miss Ther- ese Weger.

Lamkin; first lleuten- ant, Tony Delmas; color bearer, R. Davis; bugler, Hardy Downing. Tank W. Fuller of the Olymplc Wheel- men and his bride have gone East on their honeymoon. Apropos, an interesting little story could be told of the time he had to catch the overland and dodg- ing Charley Adams, Jack McGlynn and other enthusfastic Olympians, who fain would have showered him and his bride with rice. Fuller was married at San Jose, and—to avoid his friends—came up via Niles to Oakland, taking a street car to the Sixteenth-street depot.

Last Tuesday Al Wilson and W. McFarland caught eight large bass in Ozkland Creek, and on Sunday last Louis Rondeau landed a twenty-pound bass from the same water.

Country Club Sportsmen Leaving for the Preserved Shooting Grounds sense change the situation. In the Na- tional League It is much harder to pilfer second, with a man on third, than it is otherwis I know that when ‘“handling | the m myself 1 always pald more attention to a runner on first than 1 did when there was one on third. he would steal on the very first chance and consequently I would work in con- only. However, the slightest mistake and all is lost. The players in the major leaguc make this play in the same manner as do those of the Pacific Coast League, the difference being that the first mentioned make the play properly and go about their work with confidence. When the runner on first starts for sec- ond the second baseman and shortstop run to the base and take up a position about fifteen feet in front of the other. Now, the one In advance, instead of let- ting the bail pass on to the base, invaria- bly catches It, and stands stupefled with the ball in his hand, without an oppor- tunity to make a play. The difference in the two leagues lies in the fact that in the National the men making this play almost always allow the ball to pass to the base and pilay for the | runner endeavoring to steal. They have a superfiuity of confidence in their ability to return the ball to the plate should the man on third attempt to run home, and it is this cenfldence which enables them to consummate plays successfully. JOE CORBETT. STARTERS ARE READY FOR THE ROAD RACE To-morrow will be a big day with the wheelmen, who will gather by hundreds along the county road from Fruitvale to Haywards to witness the fifth annual ten-mile handicap of the California Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs.. The race will start at High street, Frultvale, promptly at 10 o’clock to-mor- row morning, and nothing but a heavy downpour of rain at that hour will pre- vent it. The race will not be postponed 1f it rains to-day and to-night. The rid- ers and officials will all go over on the 9 a. m. broad gauge boat. The Bay City Wheelmen will hold an open membership meeting next Saturday evening, October 15, to be followed by an impromptu_ entertainment and smoker. President Fahrbach has appointed the following committees: House—Harry Larkin, chairman; Frank H. Watters, E. N. Creigh; membe®ship—H. W. Spald- ing, chairman; Frank H. Kerrigan, Theo- dore C. Dodge.

The Placer County citrus colony eleven will play at Lakeport on October 18, 19 :nd 2. On October 21 they reach San Francisco and play a one day's match against the Alameda Club (cham- pions of 1865) on October 22. Next day they will try conclusions with an eleven of the Pacific club. On the 24th and 25th they hope te play against an eleven of San Jose, either at San Jose or Alameda. As there is no suitable ground at San Jose, it is not unlikely that the San Jose men will come up to San Francisco. To-morrow, on the Alameda ground, the third and deciding Banks and Insurance versus All-Comers match will be played, the two previous 55,1116!! hnvlns been layed on July 24 and August 21. On July 4 the Banks and Insurance men defeated All Comers with a score of §7 against 25, for, though All Comers made 110 runs for eight wickets in their second innings, the match was decided on the first inning. un August 21 All Comers, with a score of 304 for seven wickets, easily defeated the Banks and Insurance eleven, who made 1%. The teams to-morrow will be made up as follows: All Comers—R. B. Hogue, J. H. Harbour, J. McLean, A. Price, J. H. Spiro, J. J. R. Peel, G. J. Baugh, F. Croll, B. Bird, J. H. Saunders, V.

Stumps will be drawn at & p. m., the light after that hour being too uncertain for satisfactory ericket.

Next Saturday the Vampires will play the first match of the season at the Pre- sidio against a team of cavalrymen of the Fourth Regiment and Washington volunteers. A regular schedule of games to be played during the season will be ar- ranged, and at the end of the present month, when the cricket season is over, the Webster ground at Alameda will be secured by the foetballers. There will probably be five teams, and play will go on_until about the middle of March of next yvear. An effort will be made to arrange a few games afialnsz teams of players from Stanford and the University of California, so as to attract the atten- tion of collegiate football players to the game, and to introduce it to the notice of the genéral public. Comparatively few people on this coast have ever seen a game of association football or have any idea of its special and pecullar fea- tures. The Valentine Insolvency.

P R R R E FIRST-CLASS DOGS E + WILL RUN AT + 4 INGLESIDE PARK ¢+ P R R R R The late rains have converted the In- gleside coursing sward, late of somber color, into what now has the apearance | of a beautiful emerald carpet. Great, | therefore, should be the coursing of to-| day- and to-morrow. The card presented by the Ingleside Club s truly excellent, as a large num- | ber of high class dogs figure among the entries for this afternoon’s meeting. Among the flyers” of high degree may be mentioned the recently celebrated dog Rock Island Bay, winner of two stakes within two months subsequent to his ar- rival from the East. The Boy recently sustained a severe injury, which was occasioned by a bite from his kennel mate Meta, who herself is by no means a lady to be overlooked when contesting in the best of company. Acording to the trainer of Rock Island Boy the dog has vastly improved in | health and spirits, and will doubtless cut up the new grass in the park In the most | approved style this afternoon, if com- | pelled to extend h.mself. The Rock is being plaved well in the pools to win the stake, and although as good and as true as a greyhound should be to command the respect and admiration of leashmen, his admirers must not forget that “there are others.” + Mialmo, Patria, Brilliantine, Quick Stitch, Mayflower, Flying Faster and Soubrette are very dangerous rivals, and any of them—perhaps a dark horse, for | that matter—may capture the winning colors from the crack Eastern dog when a turn in the tables is least expected. Horse racing is bad enough as a gam- bling proposition, but in coursing, which is by far the most honest sport, there is nothing which in the lexicon of the sport can be called “dead.” How often have you heard the remark “that's a cinch,” and how often have you subsequently learned that the “cinch’ failed to cash? But although there are many “good things” in cours- ing as avell as there are in other games, nches,’ as a_rule, should be avoided, 2s they ‘more frequently assist to burn father than coat the pockets of specu- lative sports. Yes, there should be rattling good sport at Ingleside to-day, and it goes without saying that the patrons of the game who will witness the rundown can rest as- sured of returning home thoroughly pleased with their outing. Brilliantine is a dog of very high breeding that is rapidly improving and may be heard from to-day. Quick Stitch, an Eastern dog that put in an appearance for the first time last Sun- day, will surprise the talent to-day if in good form physically. Mayflower was not celing well when she ran in the Pro- duce stake, but if report is correct she will cut a dash to-day. An eye should be kept on Flying Faster, and also on the speedy Soubrette. John Grace Jr. left yesterday afternoon for Los Angeles, where he will remain | under engagement to the Los Angeles Coursing Club, to judge meetings held on Sundays. The young judge of cours- ing has proved that he is a chip-of-the old-block, and it can be safely said that the southern leashmen wil be highly pleased with his decisions. The Ingleside Coursing Club will meet on the great plains of Merced on No- vember 16, at which time the hares will not be too’ fat nor too thin, but just good enough after one month of chewing on young grass to give the hounds all they will require in the way of hard exercise. During last year's meeting the plains were barren of any kind of vegetation, and as a result the hares were in condi- tion to run_over miles of country at top speed. The dogs suffered from the long and gruelling courses to such an extent that those who did not die were laid up for several weeks, but the condi- tions will be different this year. gt DOGS SAVED FROM THE LUCAS KENNEL FIRE The establishment of the Pacific Ken- nel League engrosses the attention of all the local fanciers and, it may truthfully be said, of Eastern dogdom. Opinions vary widely as to its opportunism, and equally so as to its duration. The of- ficers elected are men of irreproachable standing and reputation, but the consti- tution and rules as adopted give rise to grave doubts as to their wisdom in de- parting so widely from customs which experience bhas taught are based on com- mon sense principles. So far the San Francisco, Pacific Fox Terrier, Mastiff, Oakland Kennel and St. Bernard clubs persist in their allegiance to the American Kennel Club, and it is difficult to perceive how the new league will manage to make headway while five | of the most important clubs on the coast | remain outside of the fold. The meeting of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club is scheduled to take place on the 22d inst. Henry Keller, the presi- dent, is coming up from Los Angeles to attend it and will be nccom‘Pfinled by John Schumaker, the owner of Valiente. Lovers of the dog will learn with pleas- ure that the destruction by fire of Mr. Lucas’ kennels at San Rafael did not in- volve as large a number of canines as at first reported, although, as it was, the loss of life was too heavy. Those de- stroyed were an English setter bitch with a litter of seven pups, and besides these three young dogs between six and twelve months_old. The Fresno fanclers are making efforts to form a kennel ciub, and propose to hold a show in January. It is as yet un- décided as to whether the show will be held under American Kennel Club_rules or under those of the Pacific Kennel League. A majority of the Intending members appear to favor_ the idea of standing in with the San Francisco and Oakland clubs, and thus securing recog- nition of the wins over the entire United States, instead of being contented with a more limited appreciation. WALSH FAMILY TROUBLES. A Wife Chased by Her Husband With an Ax to Shed Blood. The preliminary examination of James ‘Walsh, a laborer living on Athens street, Sliver Heights, on the charge of assault to murder, was held before Judge Mogan yesterday. Mrs. Walsh and her daughter testified that Walsh had been drunk for three weeks, and about a week ago he chased his wife with an ax, threatening to kill her. He then chased the daughter out of the house and tried to strike her with a heavy piece of wood. Mrs. Walsh keeps a grocery on Athens street, and told the Judge that she had been able to save $3000 and pay for the house where they lived. It was jointly in her and her husband's name. She did not wish to prosecute him if he would only let her alone. and she would even be willing for him to get all the money. The Judge insisted on the case going on, and will probably hold Walsh to answer to- day. Walsh's friends were out In force and insinuated that the wife and daughter were prosecuting the husband.to get him sent to San Quentin so that they couid obtain possession of the property by the wife securing a divorce. —_————————— Charged With Grand Larceny.

On the first day, October 16, Dr. «. C. Dennis of the South Ends, C. Ochs of the Pioneers and F. Wilson of the Arlels will pull in the first heat of the skiff race. In the second heat will be A. Webb of the Alamedas, V. Caglieri of the Dolphins and Fickert of the Ariels. T. R. Keenan of the Dol- phins and H. A. Wittkopf -of the Ariels will try conclusions in shells, for which the smooth water of Bohemian Lake is eminently suitable. There will be a barge race between the Ariels, South Ends and Pioneers; a canoe race between represent- atives of the Pioneers and the Dolphins, and a tug-of-war in boats—Pioneers and Ariels vs. Dolphins and South Ends. On Sunday, October 16, C. Ayers of the Alamedas and W. O. Patch of the Dol- A R tttt e | phins will row against the winner of one iff heats, and J. Schup- against the winner of the other. The Alamedas, Dolphins and Olympics will then pull in barges, the winner to meet the winning crew of Sat- urday’s race. D g The polo_team of the Lurline Swimming Club will be captained by G. Widemann, and the Olympic team by A. W. Pape. Of the skiff men, Dennis, Ochs and Wil- son are well prepared, and Ayers and Patch will have to pull hard to beat the best of the three. J. Schuppert will be the first Triton man to appear in & Tre- of the previous atta. gTl’le Arfels will send their intermediate barge crew, with R. Ellis in the place of G. Steffen: the Pioneers will send a strong four, and the Alameda seniors will be on hand. At a_special meeting of the Olympic Boat Club, held on Tuesday evening, it was decided that the captain should be instructéd to have the barge moved from | Tiburon over to the Dolphin boathouse, of which the Dolphins have kindly offered the use, so that the Olympics may be able to get some practice on week day even- ings. The barge is to be repaired, var- nished and put in order. The following were appointed a committee on nomina- tions of officers for_the coming year: J. Cunningham, Leo Pockwitz and H. W. Knoll. George James, captaln of the Olvmpio Club, has called a cross-country run for to-morrow. The runners will take the 8 o'clock morning boat, and starting from the boathouse at Tiburon will run along Raccoon Straits over the hills to Campo and return by way of Belvedere. Lunch will be served at the boathouse, and a crew may be made up for the championship races. Phe members of the Alameda Boat Club have been out on the estuary a great deal of late. Some have had fine sport trolling for striped bass. W. G. Hansen caught one 33 inches long, weighing 13 pounds. Two_or three members of the Univer- sity of California_Boating Association are practicing in skiffs, and one of these may enter the championship skiff race. Ow- ing to their distance from a body of water suitable for rowing it is not possible to do much at Stanford in_the way of boat- ing, and the University Boat Club at Palo Alto 1s no longer in existence. The South Ends have purchased an out- rigged skiff from Kennison. R. McArthur has tried it and thinks it one of the best boats he ever sat in. It is very light. It will probably be taken up to Guerneville and used by Dr. C. C. Dennis. The old barge Blister will be taken to the Russian River and manned by a crew composed of T. I. Fitzpatrick, Al Fritz, M. Breen and E. Shortall, with either Fitzpatrick or Fritz as stroke. The junior barge crew will go into regular training next week for the championship regatta. The South End Club will hold its annual high_ jinks on the afternoon of November 6, affer the championship regatta. The “Midgets” will probably row in the cham- plonship barge race. % In the absence of T. J. Kennedy, cap- tain, A. W. Pape is in charge of the Dol- phin Boat Club, and is keeping the inter- mediate barge crew hard at work., Every night the crew rows three miles, from the boathouse to Lombard street wharf and return. Besides this they do gymnastic work. The crew is in excellent trim, and the_four that beat it will be a good one. A. W. Pape is getting up a junior barge crew for the championship Taces. It is made up of Charles Roach, F. Woernner, J. 8. Earls and L. Duncan. These rowed jast Sunday to Sausalito and thence to Tiburon, where they visited the ark Mi- kado. Victor Caglieri and A. W. Pape will £0 up next Friday to Guerneville to taks part in the swimming and canoe races on Saturday. § A performance will be given to-night at Union Square Hall for the henefit of the parents of the late Daniel D. Connolly, the well known oarsman and member of the South End Kowing Club. — Profes- sfonal talent has been engaged. George Green and Frank McConnell will box four rounds, with R. mcArthur as referee. W. A. MecGrill. Jack O'Brien, D. F. Sullivan and J. Foley are on the committee in charge of the affair. The Young Men's Institute and Native Sons of the Golden West will also assist. . ey FOOTBALL AT THE PRE.SIDIO.'
