Despite the fair reports of the practice at California_there is a lengthy sick list. The great sufferer is Pete Kaarsberg, who is a_victim of blood-poigoning. | Kaarsberg has from the very beginning | of the season plaved a game that insured his position as full back on the varsity, t stage of the game he was vis- v 4 most troublesome illness. His 1 play was of such a character as ave no choice for the coaches in their election of him for the guardian of the back field. At present his condition is such that unless some radical improve- ment is noted he will be unable to don his suit to-day and possibly he will not appear in the intercoliegiate game. Sev- eral other men are suifering from bad ankles and strained arms and shoulders. The Stanford eleven is also in pretty bad shape. Burmeister is by no means in as perfect condition as he should be; Mur- phy is suffering from a bad knee and sev- eral of the other men are running the gamut of injuries; however, without any serious calamities, The Stanford eleven is giving Coach Cross more or less worry this year. In the first place there was no such thing as | spirit among the players until the begin- | ning of this week. The candidates went | to work in a very listiess way and their playing showed for it with but very few | exceptions. On Saturday they played the Olympics in this city and a tie game re- sulted. On Tuesday last the cardinal team, weakened by the absence of the ends and possibly Burmeister at full, were defeated by the clubmen with the score of 12—0; which, however, is no basis of comparison of the resmective merits of both teams. The Olympics played all round their opponents, and the score would have been twice Its size had the e the Stanford the center. Gilman, who played ition, may or may not mafia the but the easiest mark for the Olympics was the Stanford guards, through whom gains were made in most regular order and for even distances. The Olympic touchdowns were earned by sheer line bucking, and as this was cer- tain to produce victory the clubmen rare- ly resorted to any other tactics. What the Stanford eleven team lacks at present is cohesion and unity. The material is none of the best, and without team play the cardinal will not have a chance this year. The same thing may be said of the blue and goldgeleven. he material at Berkeley is of #ediocre quality, nor is it prolific; but there is a semblance of team play in the California eleven. Man for man, there is pretty much of a bal- ance in the two teams, but California’s concentration of effort makes it an, eleven 25 per cent better than its adversary is at the present time. Of course the week and a half of practice which Stanford will have before the final meeting will do something for it. Stanford has the reputation of possess- ing a resurrecting ability. Season after season has the cardinal team gone into the mountains the last week of practice before the Thanksgiving match and come out of retreat a rejuvenated body of men. This may happen again, but the chances are not as favorable as in former years, when the coach had a number of first magnitude football players to work on. Two years ago, when Harry Cross was coaching, the team at this time of the season was in a very crippled condition. back hale and physically perfect. In order to get the men_to work the guard of coaches will be at Palo Alto this coming week. Clemans, Downln§. kenheimer, Code, Fickert and a few oth. ers will be out with the team every nirnt. There will be no fooling on the Palo Alto campus from now on. The players have now recognized that they must work to hope to win and the result may be very inspiriting for the Stanford students. What ought to be the very best game of the season between the Olympics and a college team should be plai'ea to-day. The clubmen have been Improving steadily and should put up & game this afternoon which should reach the acme of tneir effort: The first four games in which the Olympics played were victories for tne opposing teams. Then they played a tie, which was followed by a dazziing victory. The Olympics this afternoon,if they meet the best that California can produce, will face the strongest team they have met this season. why the game should prove the most in- teresting of the entire serles. It is the final appearance of the clubmen and last showing of the California team but one, The Olympics are hopeful of winning and sult of this game will give the enthuslasts an opportunity of forming Jjudgments more or less erroneous on the respective abilitles of the two college teams.

The elec- tion is already past and gone, and when the great intercollegiate football match shall also have becomeamatter of history, lawn tennis will experience a revival. The California Lawn Tennis Club, which a year ago had ninety members, has up- ward of 130 now. Many young people have recently joined the club, and greater interest is being taken in the game than for several seasons past. The round- robin tournaments, in which every team plays every other team entered, and the one winning most sets is victor, have proved very popular. R. M. Whitney and George Bradshaw, popularly known as “the _invincibles,” J. Davis defeated Weihe in the round robin tournament, men's doubles, on election day, and are now the club champions in doubles. The Hardy brothers, Samuel and Sumner, are the holders of 'the Pacific Lawn Tennis Association c}mmgmnshlp in doubles, which they earned by defeating Freeman an. fael of « Sumner Hardy is at the University lifornfa, and Samuel is at Stanford; these meet, the best lawn tennis ever seen in intercoliegiate games on this coast will be played. On his first ap- pearance on the Bush-street courts two or three weeks ago, Sumner Hardy de- feated Daily, and ne out victor in most of the double matches in which he played. Miss Alice Hoffman having gone to Honolulu to spend the winter, Miss Wini- fred Mason is_now the strongest lady ‘:luyer on the Cailfornia Club courts. R. M. Whitney and George Bradshaw are the strongest double team, while R. Adams and H. Weihe, the “ponies,” play a hard and clever e.

The course {s in excellent trim, having recently been rolled with a twenty-ton steam roller. The links, well covered with grass and wild flowers, pre- sent a very attractive appearance. Two or three dozen players, among whom are several ladies, are to be found daily on the links. The executive committee will make arrangements to enlarge the dress- ing room accommodations, which are uite inadequate to the requirements of the members who play regularlK.o Last Saturday several members who wish to enter the cagtnln‘x cup competi- tion played two nine-hole rounds to qual- ify. The captain’s cup is a silver trophy presented by O. Pierce. Tt is the property of the club, but the names of winners are insecribed upon it. The average of the two rounds was taken, and all who made an average ot fifty or fewer strokes are entitled to play for the homor of having their names handed down on_the cup. The following players qualified: fi, Cooke 50, J. P. Edwards 50, E. R. Folger 49, P. 1. Bowles 49, R. M. Fitzgerald 48, J.'C. McKee 47, G. D. Greenwood 47, F. S. Stratton 46 and W.

THE LARGEST YET GIVEN PREPARING FOR THE GREAT MERCED MEET. The Drawing Will Take Place at Pythian Castle This Even- ing at Eight 0’Clock. The Ingleside Coursing Park Directors, anticipating an exceptionally large gath- ering of the admirers of. coursing at the meeting of to-day, have made consider- able changes in the grand stand looking toward the comfort and pleasure of their patrons. The stake is one of the largest ever run in an inclosed park, consisting of eighty high-class dogs. Last week The Call tipped twenty-six winners of the thirty-two courses run on Saturday last, and unless something un- foreseen ha%pen! the selections for the meeting of this afternoon, and which ap- peared in yesterday’s paper, will doubtless come near to the mark intended. At 8 o'clock this evening a drawing for the Ingleside Club’s grand animal meet- ing at Merced will be held in Pythian Cas- tle, after which the club will give a ban- que:, to its friends at a popular restau- rant, ‘When the club selected November 15 as being an excellent time for coursing in the open, it figured upon considerable rain prior to that date, but old Jupiter Pluvius, who handles the strings of the flood gates on high, is seemingly taking quite a long nap and forgetting us poor mortals below. But rain may fall between now and Tuesday, and should a good sprinkle strike the plains the pleasure of the out- ing will be enjoyed by hundreds, as the Ingleside Club invariably carries a large following. President Shannon Is in correspondence with Tommy Hall, the grand old sport of Merced, and in case the weather remalins fine, grounds which have never been | coursed upon and which are sad to be just fitting for the occasion, will be tried on Tuesday next. However, the large gathering of snort lovers who will leave this city at 9 a. m. on Monday mornin, may look forward to three days of gran sport, Judge Grace has been in training for the occasion for several weeks and says that he will be up with the dogs { from start to finish. T. McHugh, the popular fleld steward, contends that at this coming meeting he | will introduce a scheme by which the crowd will have to keep from crowding | the slipper and chasing the dogs after | they are slipped. | A band of music will meet the Ingleside | Club on its arrival at Merced and escort the officers to headquarters. That grand dog, For Freedom, it is said, will be permanently withdrawn from the coursing fields and placed in the stud. | Santa Alicla will be bred to him and for- tunate will be the man who will secure any of the stock, as there is nothing of higher class extant. Hurricane, a New Zealand dog, will appear for the first time to-day in the new park. It is said that he {s another such dog as For Free- | dom and that he will sweep everything before him this afternoon, but those new- comers are so very unreliable, you know. The proposed match race between Vie- tor King and Volunteer on the plains of Merced is off. The backers of Victor King failed to put up their coin. YACHTSMEN WILL GIVE A MINSTREL SHOW The minstrel performance for the bene- fit of the San Francisco Yacht Club will be given in this city, and not in the club- house at Sausalito, as was at first in- tended. The committee having the enter- tainment in charge consists of Commo- dore Dr. T. L. Hill, Vice-Commodore G. T. S. White, Financial Secretary W. G. Morrow, F. B. Madison and L. Q. Haven. An excellent performance will be given, the foilowing having promised their ser- | vices: Alexander Rosborough, William Hines, John Catheart, J. Putnam Jackson, Robert C. Mitchell, Julian Thorne, Regi- nald Mason, Benjamin Tarbox, Frank Thompson, Albert Borlini and William O'Brien. W. M. Edgell, J. Ogilvie, George Starr and Herbert Martin will sing solos. The Jones brothers will also appear. The entertainment will take place at Native Sons’ Hall, 414 Mason street, on Monday, November 21, at 8:15 p. m., and_dancin, will commence at 10:30 p. m. Reservefi seats may be obtained at Sherman & Clay’s on Saturday, November 19, and on the day of the performance. The directors of the San Francisco Yacht Club have forwarded a communi- cation to the directors of the Pacific Yacht Club, expressing their regret at the approaching extinction of the Pacifics, and thanking them for their courtesy in permitting the San Franciscos to use their clubhouse, boathouse and landing stage during the seasan of 1897, after the | San Franciscos had lost thelr quarters by | the disastrous-fire of March 2. The San Franciscos have offered the use of their | clubhouse to the Pacifics for the rest of the fiscal year. Commodore Dr. T. L.

MARINE ENGINEERS ARE IN THE FIGHT WILL CONTEST RIGHTS OF NEW- MADE CITIZENS. An Attempt to Be Made to Revoke Licenses Issued to Deck Offi- cials of Foreign Boats. Indignation is running high in local marine circles over theaction of the Seat- tle officials in granting immediate citi- zenship to the deck officers and engineers of the four British steamers, the Vic- toria, Olympia, Tacoma and Glengare, of the Northern Pacific Company that were recently granted American register. In granting Immediate citizenship to the thirty-two officers of the foreign boats they were enabled to get American li- censes and hold their positions under American registration to the disbarment of native craftsmen. The local Marine Engineers’ Benevolent Association took &mclal cognizance of the matter at a meeting held aiesterday. and every measure will be taken to nullify what the association considers an unwar- ranted and unjust action on the part of the Government. President O'Brien, of the _association, said vesterday: “We have no reflections to cast upon the ability or worthiness of these men, ‘What Cuba’s Loss Means to Spain.

The law grovldea that a foreign engineer must ave had his first papers for two years before he is eligible to American license. “These men were given citizenship as soon as the British boats were placed under American register. There are thir- ty-two of them, and our compiaint is that they are crowding thirty-two Americans out of positions that should justly fall to them, and we are going to do everything that we can to have the licenses revoke “We have witnesses enough to pro that the men in question are not nor have they been citizens of this country. and we are going to prove it in open court if necessary when the case comes up In Seattle.” An affidavit which sets forth the testi- meny of a man now in this city is being prepared and wiil _be forwarded to the Washington authorities. It will set forth that witness knew one of the officers for five years and that he has been for three gears. past in the Arctle reglons. With his evidence it is hoped to prove per- jury by those who swore to the naturali- Zzation papers. United States District Attorney Foote was asked vesterday regarding the case, but he sald that as it would not come within his jurisdiction he had not taken the trouble'to look up the law points in- volyed. —————— CAPTAIN SEARLES IS ILL. The Well-Known Navigator Afflicted ‘With a Cancerous Growth. Captain Robert R. Searles, the well- known shipmaster of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, occupies a ward in the McNutt Hospital, where he is being treated by Drs. Andersun and McNutt for a severe cancerousaffection of the throat. This affection has been rapidly develop- ing and has spread to the end of the tongue, necessitating an operation. At first an effort was made to conceal the true nature of the captain’s illness, but its serfousness leaked out when, by order of the phy ans, he was taken from his | s in the Palace Hotel to the His condition was reported bet- ter last evening. Captain Searles is one of the best known of pioneer navigators of the Pacific. By long and faithful service to the Pacific Mail Company on_their Oriental route, he has earned the distinction of ‘“‘commo- dore captain” in their fleet of vessels. —_——— ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. Vampires to Play Against British Sailors at Golden Gate. This afternoon at the Golden Gate ground the Vampires will play an asso- ciation football match against a team of apprentices from British ships now lying in the harbor. The Vampires will be cap- tained by G. T. S. White, and the sailors’ eleven will be gathered together by the Rev. Mr. Fullerton, chaplain of the Sea- men’s Institute. The Vampires’ team will be made up as follows: J. M. Punnett, goalkeeper; Mc- Graw and Robertson, backs; Frye, Dug- gan and Selwood, halfbacks; H. Punnett, Anderson, White, Dye and Coles, for- wards. Play will begin at 8 p. m. The Vampires will almost certainly pay a visit to Redding on Thanksgiving day to play against the Keswick team. Early next vear the Keswick men, among whom are some who are well known among San Francisco cricketers, will pay a visit to this city to play the return match against the Vampire: BAY CITY ROAD RACE.

CGossip of the Corbett-Sharkey Mill and the Prospect of the Po- lice Interfering With the Fight. On Tuesday evening the Western Ath- letic Club will give its second boxing en- tertainment in Woodward's Pavilion. Manager Murphy has figured out a first class bill of athletic fare, and it goes without saying that a large and enthusi- astic crowd will witness the mills. “Spider” Kelly has been training hard at the ocean beach for some weeks, and if confidence will help to land him a winner he will certainly have easy sailing, but the “‘Spider” will need something more substantial than confidence to defeat his opponent Muller, who, although rather slow in movement, is a pretty stiff punch- er and a good judge of distance. Muller has improved wonderfully in the past year, and he will have a large following of friends who will back him strongly to whig the agile “Spider.” At any rate the spectators can rely upon getting ‘‘a run for their money,” as there are two first class preliminary bouts which may prove just as interesting as the event of the evening. Jockey Maynard and “Kid” McFadden will certainly put up a stiff argument. McFadden is confident that he can whip Maynard in a ten-round “go,” but May- nard laughs at the idea and says that when he met McFadden in Woodward's Pavilion he was out of condition and was consequently a bit weak at the finish, but even so he scored five points to Mc- Fadden’s one in each of the rounds they fought. Maynard now contends that he will be in fine fettle when he faces “the kid” on Tuesday evening, and unless a lucky blow places him out of the game he expects to win easily on points. Tom Sharkey is very confident of whip- ping Corbett on the evening of the 22d inst., but good judges of pugilism think differently. Corbett is probably the cleverest big man who ever entered a ring, not except- ing Jem Mace, who was considered in his day the king of boxers. Jim will easily avold Sharkey’s swings and rushes, and continuous jabbing will certainly arouse the sailor’s ire and that will mean rough fighting on the part of Sharkey. t will not surprise many of the sport- ing authorities of this city to hear that the police put a stop to the fight in the early part of the battle, and that the ref- eree awards to Corbett a decision on points. Still, if the sailor can be held in check by his seconds the contest may go on to the end of the twenty-five rounds, and if so Corbett will certainly be given the decision, as those who are con- versant with the game are aware that he can outclass Sharkey in boxing, and points must count if a knock-out is not registered.
