Practice at both Berkeley and Congress Springs yesterday changed the football situation entirely. CALIFORNIA AND STANFORD RESTING FOR THE STRUGGLE The Cardinal Has Improved Greatly, While the Blue and Gold Meets With Aceidents at the Eleventh Hour, Whieh Weaken the Team. HE work of the football season is over and the red-shirted sons of Stanford and the blue-and-gold-striped athletes of California are anxiously awaiting the exciting moment when the signal will be given for the The last practice was held yesterday on the gridiron at Berkeley and on the field that has It was a disastrous practice for the blu Three stitches were necessary to sew up the wound. Smith wi which California played on Monday afternoon was meteoric in its brilliancy, and in comparison with anything that Stanford has done this season was at least 25 per cent better. All the California supporters were elated over the prospects of the team. Their enthusiasm received a severe shock yes- terday afternoon, when the blue-and-gold varsity lined up against the sec- ond eleven for the last time. The dash, vim and vigor of the attack of the preceding day had evanesced and in its place was a listless, half-hearted offense that brought harsh words to the lips of the coach and exhorta- tions from all the old varsity men on the fleld. The practice lasted but fifteen minutes, but it was long enough to lay out two of the men on the team. Whipple's injury is likely to prove the most serious to the team. He played left tackle and was developing into a strong and heady player. Op- posite him will be Wilson, the great linesman of Stanford’s eleven. The wrenching that Whipple's shoulder received yesterday may jyrove but slightly injurious to his play, but it is sure to weaken him. The work of the blue-and-gold team yvesterday afternoon was a complete setback to the coaches on the other side of the bay. It demonstrated one thing, and that is that the California eleven is not consistent in its per- formances. If they play the fast game they did in practice on Monday night they ought to defeat the cardinal, but unless they buckle down and work for every inch another cardinal victory will decorate the trophy cabi- net at Stanford. It is this variable quantity in the California composition that makes the outcome of the game this year uncertain. | At Palo Alto, on the other hand, the stock has risen a number of points. The team did not play hard practice games yesterday, but took things easy, working at signals, the execution of new plays and kicking. Since the church-going at Congress Springs the drooping spirit of the team has been dispelled and the boys are now happy and even confident of victory. The condition of the men will be all that can be desired when they line up on Recreation Park gridiron Thursday afternoon. All the first eleven men were out, with the exception of Freeman, who is still kept out of the play on account of his injured shoulder. ‘Whipple, the left half, whose shoulder has been giving him more or less trouble during the past few weeks, received a bad wrenching that forced him to retire. doubt about the seriousness of the injury, but it is thought it will not prove of such severity as to keep him out “Locomotor” Smith was the second to feel the necessity of retiring. In a scrimmage the flesh between There is no doubt the cardinal. magic wand. in the world that the springs were beneficial to Their so-called malaria was dissipated as by the touch of a With Freeman in good condition the team will be able to appear on the fleld in perfect form. The mountain retreat has done its work and the Stanford athletes will be right ready for the fray. Coach Cross spoke encouragingly last night of the condition and marked improvement of his team. He said: that we have a fine fighting chance for victory. “I feel much better to-day, for I see The mountain air, the iso- lation and the concentrated work that the team has done in the last few days has given me great satisfaction. dividual play, in team work and chiefly ‘We certainly have improved in in- in physical condition. I do not know whether Freeman will play center or not, but I think it is very likely. The backs will be the quartet that has played together during the last two weeks—Fisher, full; Dole, left haif; Clinton, right half, and Murphy, quarter. They are playing faster and more in unison than they have been of late. The rest of the time will be devoted to signal practice, and we will have lots of it.” It is not definitely decided where the Stanford eleven will go after they leave the springs, which will be some time this afternoon, but it will be one of three places—the Vendome at San Jose, Menlo Park or the uni- versity. They will come to the city on Thursday morning, making the Pleas- anton their headquarters. queted and then finish off the day with the ance at the Columbia.

This is the somewhat ludicrous alternative to which almost every college man at Berkeley will pledge himself. It is the latest development of the great wave of enthusiasm which surpasses any- thing that the University of California men have ever known. Everything about football goes. The sale of em- blems, badges, streamers, flags, rib- bons has been simply enormous. The anti-necktie club has become a perfect craze. With a haste that betrays only too well the unbounded confidence as to the outcome of the Thanksgiving day game nearly all the men students are signing its pledge. /In effect it means simply and plainly that uniess Berkeley wins the game hardly any Berkeley man will appear upon the L L T campus for the rest of the term with anything resembling a necktie. In a short time after craze had started some 200 names were on the list. The number is increasing contin- ually, and before the referee blows the whistle at 2:3) o’clock Thursday the men of the student body will be supporting the idea as a unit. The prospect of going without a -cravat does not make the rash resolve any the more unpopular. If Berkeley loses Berkeley will go in mourning for a month, and it will show its grief in the display of some 400 or 500 white shirt bosoms and bare collar buttons every day upon the campus. John P. Irish will be made an honorary mem- ber of the club.

Dr. Gallagher yesterday made an au- topsy on the body of the dead Infant and found that the child had been still born. | Its neck was broken, presumably by be- ing tossed In the scavenger's wagon. The mystery may have its solution in a clew which came into the possession of the police last night. One of the officers | ascertained that a_woman living in a boarding house on Franklin street, near McAllister, a few nights ago gave birth to a child, which is said to have been spirited away by its father. The child is | reported to 'have been born dead. Its mother is Spanish and has been living for some time at the boarding house on Franklin street, with a man who is not her husband. The man, it is sald, works in one of the cheap South Side restaur- ants. A few nights ago the woman sent for a midwife and doctor. When the child was born it was dead. The doctor ad- vised the man, so it is reported, to burn the child or get rid of it in some way. Not having much ready money the father of the child took the doctor’s hint, and wrzlgplng the dead infant In a pic e of cloth, carried it from the house, saying he would see that it was buried. When | inquiry was made at the house late last night only the landlady's husband was in, and to all questions asked of him he re- plied in a doubtful, hesitating way that he did not know. He would affirm noth- ing, and at the same time would not make any positive denials. He only an- swered to every single question asked of him that he did not know. —————————— For Your Table. ‘We are offering for this day only Choice Creamery Butter squares at 35 cents, Cape Cod Cranberries at 3 cents a gallon, Loose Cluster Raisins, four-crown, four pounds for 25c; Petaluma kanch Eggs, 35 cents a dozen; California Brandy, cholce, 50 cents a bottle.

Despite the efforts of the police, the Chinese Consul and the Six Companies to stop the whelesale murder in China- town, the outcome of the long-standing feud between the Suey Ying and Suey Sing tongs, Wong Ah Jung was shot down in the street last night in front of the lodging house at 836 Clay sireet. While the murdered man did not, at the time of his death, belong to any high- binder tong, he had formerly been a member of the Suey Yings, from which organization he withdrew five years ago, and his assassination is credited to the Suey Sing Tong, whose members believed him to be a Suey Ying. This murder leaves the score standing at !t?ur to nothing in favor of the Suey ts;x:?'lb‘fi :mm the excited actions of elestials the game s Vetario g eems only fair- At 6:15 o'clock last evening ‘Wong Ah Jung was walking up Clay street, be- tween Spofford alley and Stockton | street. When he reached a point di- rectly in front of 836 Clay street two shots rang out and Jung fell into the street, shot in the forehead directly above the left eye. He died a few mo- ments afterward. Two Chinamen were seen to run up the steps of the lodging house and disappear in the darkness of the hallway. Officers Burke and Tracey heard the shots and immediately made & search of the house. In an ash barrel standing in the hallway they found a 45-caliber Colt’s revolver containing two discharged and four loaded cartridges. A Chinaman giving the name of Ah Pon was turned over to the police as the murderer by Ed McGreeney, a printer, residing at 1734 Greenwich street. McGreeney was standing at the corner of Clay and Stockton streets when the shooting occurred. He saw the murdered man fall, and saw the man who did the shooting. According to his story there were two Chinamen standing together when the shots were fired and these ran into the lodming- LINEN DEPARTMENT! - This week we will offer extraordinary values in TABLE DAMASKS, TABLE NAPKINS, TABLE CLOTHS and TOWELS, and ask special attention to the foilowing lines, all of which are from the best manufacturers. 62-inch GERMAN WASHED TABLE DAMASK, good variety of deslgnseels ool sic L e s iine Lol C Yard BLEACHED GERMAN DAMASK TABLE CLOTHS, 2 yards wide and 3 yards long..............§ 2,50 Each BLEACHED SATIN DAMASK TABLE CLOTHS, 2 yards wide and 3 yards long, beautiful patterns. § £, 5 Q Each %+ inches square, new designs veee..S2.00 Dozen BLEACHED SATIN DAMASK NAPKINS, 25 inches square, 8 different designs . . .«cev...... 52,50 Dozen DAMASK DINNER NAPKINS, 22 GERMAN SATIN DAMASK NAPKINS, extra heavy, 26 Inches square, 15 handsome designs. . . . 3.0 QO Dozen FULL-SIZE LINEN HUCK TOWELS, both hemmed and fringed e S5 2.00 Dozen EXTRA SIZE LINEN HUCK TOWELS, hemmed, Irish manu- fACHUrE. v vvvnnenneneseees. 53,00 Dozen 25 LINEN DAMASK TABLE SETS, cloth 8-4x12-4, napkins e h s R B (o (0 0 house.
