The City Has Been Drier at This Date Several Times Before. The continued drought in some parts of the State lends especial interest at this time to a few rainfall statistics. In forty- eight consecutive seasons there has fallen at Sacramento and San Francisco a total of 960.81 inches of rain, an average for each seuson of 20.01 inches. By far the driest scason during that time was that -51, when the total rainfall in San Town Talk.

Vampires Defeat the Shasta County Men on Thanksgiving Day by a Narrow Margin. The Vampire team of Association foot- ballers arrived at Redding Shasta County, soon after 7 o’'clock on the morning of Thanksgiving day, having traveled all night from the city. They were met by Captain Campbell of the Keswick Moun- tain Copper Company eleven and taken to a hotel for breakfast. During the morning they witnessed some horse races and after lunch were ready for the match. The footballs sent down from Keswick not having arrived a team was dispatch- ed to fetch onme. This caused some de- lay, so that the game did not begin till 3 p. m. Captain White of the Vampires Won the toss and elected to play toward the south, as a strong northerly breeze was blowing. Helped greatly by the wind the Vampires played an aggressive game, and kept the ball in the Keswick men's territory. H. W. Westerfeld, one of the Vampire forwards, being disabled by a kick on the thigh, retired to the goal, and Wyndham took his place as in- side right forward. The Vampires made several determined attacks upon the Kes- wick goal, but their shots landed either over the bar or to the side of the posts. At half time the score stood, Keswick 0, Vampires 0. Play was resumed after an intermission of five minutes, the Keswick men having the advantage of the wind behind tHem. The Vampires carried the ball down to the Keswick goal, but were prevented from scoring by the Keswick backs and oal-keeper. The left forwards of the f{eswlck team then secured the ball, car- ried it down, passed it to the right for- wards, and made a successful shot for oal. Score: Keswick 1 goal; Vampires 0. 'he home team, encournged by their suc- cess and the cheers of the crowd, nearly scored again, but the Vampire backs pre- vented another goal. By this time the wind had nearly died out, and the Vam- glrvé, working well together, succeededin icking a goal. Score: Keswick 1 goal, Vampires 1 goal. From this time on the 1 Vaopires played well together, and, foil. | was booked for petty larceny. ing all the assaults of the Keswick men, assed the ball to Coles, who centered it. Wyndham placed it between the posts, and the score read: Keswick 1 goal, Vampires 2 goals. Keswick now tried hard to make the game a draw one, but failed to score again. The team work of the Vampires was good, and E. Hunter laved a particularly brilliant game. For eswick, Turner, Campbell, ~Renwick, Casidy and Roberts played best. After the game the visitors were enter- tained at a bounteous Thanksgiving din- ner, presided over by Captain Campbell, with F. J. Truman as vice-president. The toast of the visitors was acknowledged by Captain G. T. S. White, and that of the referee and linesmen by Mr. Seed. The toast of the proprietor of the base- ball ground was responded to by Mr. Busch, The Vampires returned to San Francisco yesterday morning. The teams were as follows: Position. Goalkeeper . Vampires Keswick. The Keswick men will match against the Vampires early next genr, when they hope to be represented a stronger team than they had on Thursday, when three of their best play- ers were unable to be on hand. The Vampires are loud in their praise of the hospitality of the Keswick men, and of the generous treatment accorded to the visitors. —_————————— Stole His Washing.

AR R AE SRR S SR { SEVERE LESSONS + OF THE $ FOOTBALL SEASON + + + P R e e The Thanksgiving game of 1898 {s now a thing of the past and one side is telling just how it happened and trylng to ex- plain a score that is the least bit discom- fiting. This season’s play has been fruit- ful of many lessons—the first bitter one to the cardinal and the first joyful occa~ sion to the blue and gold. Stanford started out this year in the wrong way. They were put on their met- tle from the very first day of the season and the altered conditions were so strange and novel to them that they were unable to recognize the dilemma in which they were placed. The material that either college had to draw from was none of the best. One side improved it; the other did not. Cochran had the advantage of Cross in being at California during the spring. He then looked over the situation and began his work for the autumn. When the college semester commenced in Au- gust Cochran was on hand forming lists of men and classifying them. His fnbors were earnestly prosecuted and he worked along well deflned ends untll the last day before the Thanksgiving game. ++4 +4+ 4+ The great lesson which he has taught | is that spirit in a college team is the ne- cessary prerequisite to team work. At first -Cochran could not comprehend the state of affairs at the University of Call- fornia, but as the days went by he alized what had to be done and he did it. He created an esprit de cor] At Berkeley there existed a wild bellef in individual players, the efficlency of a few great particular stars. How well this erroneous view of things was eliminated the game on Thursday is complete proof. There was not a star in the California team on Thanksgiving dns'. Perhaps the men who played on the end were the most brilliant of the team, but they worked hand in hand with others who played re- markable ball. That is the secret of their football success. Cochran took his men, placed them in positions which he thoughtsuited them and then started out. The California team was formed a month ago and they were drilled in all the details of the game day after day. The steady and persist- ent rehearsal spoke for itself and reflect the football wisdom of Cochran, who really formed the team and taugh’ it all it knew. Playing on the California elev- en were two freshmen, and they distin- guished themselves magnificently. Little Womble &nd “Locomotor” Smith, des- tined to become the best bucking half this coast has ever seen, played like vet- erans. Of course, Womble's game was hardly equal to that of Craig; the latter was the most brilllant of all on the fleld. Now, what happened at Palo Alto? The serles of heavy, well-drilled teams that has represented the cardinal in years past was counted 6n to do something for Stan- ford. For the first year since Walter Camp left the university as coach Stan- ford was put to the necessity of devel- oping an entire new team. The three center men were new, so were the tackles, and the backs were never in safe, sound condition. But these difficulties may have been overcome as they were at Cal- ifornia had there been a spirit to work harmoniously. Cross was handicapped at every stage during the early part of the season, and when the team did awak- en it was too late to catch up with the fast progressing team at Berkeley. There was not the feeling of fraternity among the members of the Stanford eleven. In comparison with other teams that have played football on this coast the California eleven which lined up Thurs- day was, perhaps, the best as far as team work is considered. Both colleges have turned out stronger elevens, but never did one play as that team. It was the highest football development that we have ever seen on the coast. The lessons which this season has taught are two—California has learned that team work is the all and Stanford | that a succession of victories may be broken when there is a lack of spirit, unity and confidence in one another. ———— BIG-MOUTH BASS IN RUSSIAN RIVER ‘With the ending of this month dies the | trout fishing season of this year and it | goes without saying that it has been many years since local anglers - enjoyed such good sport in the mountains. The streams were low and as a result the fishes were hungry and eagerly dashed at anything skimming the water which looked at all ke an insect. If the dry weather continues another month of steelhead fishing in Russfan River will be a fad. But it is fervently hoped that several inches of rain will | fall before another month and that Rus- | sian River will be a raging torrent. The Fish Commissioners have stocked Rus- stan River with large-mouth black bass and the future fishing on that stream promises to be excellent. Sgeaklng of the high price of steelheads a Portland (Or.) shipper of frozen fish said that he could better afford to pay 5 cents a pound for them in the winter than to have them furnished free in the sum- mer. The steelhead is caught mostly in the winter and is therefore accustomed to cold and stands freezing and shipping in a frozen state better than any other variety. DANCED TWO NEW FIGURES Assembly and German of the Bachelors’ Club at the Palace Last Evening. Last evening the second assembly and german of the Bacrelors’ Cotillon Club was held in the Maple Hall of the Palace Hotel, and, like its predecessor, proved a most delightful and brilliant success. The cotillon, which was the feature of the evening, was led by Al Dodge, who introduced two new and original figures. After the german a short order of d‘nnces brought the affair to a pleasant close. Among the ladies who tpok part in the cotillon were Miss Nellie Gallagher, Miss Rose Roth, Miss Bessie Roden, Miss M. C.

He Is Now Under Arrest on Two Charges of Assault With Intent to Commit > \ L Murder. “Con” McAuliff, an old pensioner living | at Harbor View, swore to two complaints in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday | for the arrest of S. A. Wells, a transfer | agent on Mission street, near the water front, on charges of assault with Intent to commit murder. According to McAuliff’s story Wells has been divorced from his wife about eight months. She obtained the custody of the four children, three boys and a girl. She took up her residence at Harbor View, and belng acquainted with McAuliff's family she used to visit them. She often complained of her husband annoying her and trying to take the little girl away from her. Saturday night she came to McAuliff’s house with her four children and asked for shelter, as her husband and two other | men had driven her out of the house. McAuliff accommodated them, and along | about midnight Wells and his two friends, | who had been searching for the mother and children, made their appearance at McAuliff's house and demanded admit- tance. “One of them stood at the gate,” said McAuliff, “to prevent any of my neigh- bors coming to my assistance, and Wells and another man, who said he was a Deputy Sheriff, ordered me to open the door and let them in, as they wanted to get gossesion of the little girl. I was ing in my nightshirt at the front window, and when I told them to go away Wells fired a shot at me from a revolver, and the bullet broke the glass and whizzed past my face. Then they went to the rear, broke open the door and com- elled me to light the chandelier I have n the kitchen. After I had done that Wells pointed the revolver at me and made me throw up my hands, threaten- ing to kill me if I did not show him where his wife and children were. “They forced their way into the bed- room where Mrs. Wells and the chilaren were, and Wells forcibly carried off the little girl, after telling his wife that he would kill her if she made any resistance. The man who called himself a deputy Sheriff I have since ascertained was not a de?uty Sheriff but a friend of Wells, and I could recognize him if I saw him | again. The bullet that Wells fired through the window at me struck the bureau drawers in the room and chipped a piece off them. It passed so close to my face as to be uncomfortable.” Wells was arrested vesterday afternoon and taken to the Harbor police station, being later removed to the City Prison. He says that for a long time he and his wife did not get along together, owing to her fondness for wine and other men’'s company. He forgave her frequently for the sake of the children, but finally he sued for and obtained a divorce from her and was given the custody of the children. He put three of them out to board and kept the other at home with him. ne day last week he had occasion to go to the Presidio, and while there ran across his eldest boy, who had run away from the home where he had been placed. Wells took him home, but a day or two later the toy again ran away, and took his little sister with him. Wells found that hie wife had taken the children with her and was living at McAuliff’s house. When he found the house he hammered on the door and demanded admittance. After a brief delay a_window was opened and IMcAuliff refused to open the door. Then he and a friend who was with him forced their way into the house, and what he saw made him mad, and he spoke his mind to McAuliff and the woman. He flourished the revolver and McAuliff and the woman fled. He denied firing a shot through the window. In the Divorce Courts. William H. Russell was granted a di- vorce from Ida E.
