FLEET DOGS MEET T0-DAY AT INGLESIDE Flyers From All Parts of the State. |EIGHTY GOOD ONES ENTEREU BIG PRIZES INDUCE OWNERS TO RUN THEIR PEIS. ] |Dogs in the All-Age and Puppy Stakes That Should Win the Various Con- tests. | Another large stake will be run to-day {and to-morrow at Ingleside Coursing { Park. A glance at the entries, which were published yesterday, will satigfy the admirers of the sport that the Ingle- side Park has a first-class card. In fact, if a search was made among the kennels of this city and vicinity a more aristo- cratic lot of dogs could not be found. In the puppy stake there are youngsters of classic breeding that should certainly give good accounts of themselves. The all-age stake is considered especially good, owing to the fact that there are isuch a number of courses on the pro- | gramme and the best guessers will be | puzzled in naming the winners. Altogether | the Ingleside Club can well afford to feel | pleased with this particular stake, as the Irunnlng will undoubtedly be very excit- ing. | -It is amusing to read the comments of | Bastern coursing writers, who take a | fling occasionally at inclosed coursing in | California. In a recent number of a { weekly sporting paper published*ln New | York the coursing editor had quite a | lengthy article on the game, which ter- | minated with the statement that Califor- | nia coursing was only child’s play, as the | courses seldom exceeded half a mile, and | that the gambling was the only thing that | kept the alleged sport alive. It would pay the paper to ship its cours- ing scribe to this city, where he would certainly awake from his lethargic state after witnessing a few courses at Ingle- side Park. Instead of sprinting dashes the gentlemen would see runs of from one mile to five miles, and occasionally the departure of a high-class dog to the happy coursing grounds. Last Sunday the dog Rathbone died subsequent to a course which must have been fully five miles, and had it not been for the timely capture of his opponent, Connemara, there doubtless would have been another death registered among the family of | longtails who died in the inclosed parks from exhaustion, the result of grueling runs. It is an admitted fact that when in- | closed coursing was first attempted here | the hares did not run well; in fact, they seldom lasted one minute after the dogs were slipped. Time and experience, how- ever, have worked many changes for the better. In the early days of the sport the trap- pers shipped the hares in crates which ‘jacks” fought each other, and in thelr wild attempts to escape many crippled hares arrived at the coursing park. Hew | different is the state of affairs now! Each | hare is consigned to a separate apart- | ment, and remains inactive until liberated in the preserve. After a few weeks' run {in the coursing field they recover from the | effects of the trip overland, and when cast oft before the anxious dogs they run with 'THE CALL’S R | ACING CHART. of the California Jockey Club meeting.

Cowsing Editor Call—Dear Sir: I notled several times in the papers remarks in resard to For Freedom, and every timeé they have stated that he had never yet been beaten, eith- er in England or in this country. Now, this is a mistake, as he was beaten twice. The first time he ever went to the slips he met Winter King in the Sefton Stakes ag the Altcar Club meeting November 17, 1887, and was beaten. On November 30, in the third round,-he was led and beaten by Overture in the Aber Stakes at Bangor. Yours truly, AN ENGLISH SPORTSMAN. Among the puppies that will cut a dash to-day are Pleasant Girl, a winner of two first prizes when a sapling, and Star of Cuba, also a very promising youngster.

The stake on that da.s wiil be limited to forty dogs at §, and the owner of the winning dog will receive $150 besides the cup, which will be known as the Ingleside Coursln§ Club cup. The pleasant feature of this meeting will be | the handing of the beautiful prize to the | successful dog owner by Mr, Shannon, president of the club, who will take pleas- ure in stating that the cup will not have to be run for a dozen or more times before it becomes the property of any one per- son.

Young Men’s Christian Association Team Defeated the Olympic Nine Handily. An indoor baseball league has been formed, the members of which are the Acme Athletic Club, the Reliance Ath- letic Club, the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation of San Francisco and the Olym- pic Club. Each club will play two games against every other club in the league, making six games. The team which wins the largest number of games will be pre- sented with a pennant, purchased with the entrance fees to the tournament. The first game of the series will take place on ‘Thursday evening, February 9, in the Olympic Club gymnasium, between the teams of the Olympic Club and the Young Men's Christian Association of San Francisco. On Thursday evening last a practice match was played in the Olymplc Club gymnasium between the two teams just mentioned. It was the first time that the Young Men's Christian Association has met the Olympic team, which had hith- erto been uniformly victorious. The game was played with great keenness, and the umpires’ decisions did _not always meet with full acceptance. The contest ended in a victory for the Y. M. C. A. team, with a score of 22 to 16. Barbour of the winning team struck seventeen men out, and the batting of Hanrahan, McShane and Shaw was strong. In the seventh in- | 'ning Shaw made a home run. Many vis- | itors witnessed the game and displayed much enthusiasm. Ward and Dotterer | acted as umpires. The ninth inning was nn‘t)l played. The scores are shown in the table: OLYMPIC.

On Tuesday evening, February 7, there will be an indoor baseball match in the gymnasium of the Young Men's Christian Assoclation between the association and the Cosmopolitan teams. The last match between these two nines ended in a tie, each scoring fifteen. Dotterer is captain and pitcher of the Cosmopolitans. A basket ball league will be formed, which will include the Athens and Sparta teams of the Oakland branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, and the Russia and Mission teams of the San Francisco branch. The league commit- tee consists of Bennett and Boek of the Oakland association, Williams and Oliver of the San Francisco branch, and a fifth to be chosen by agreement. As soon as the committee is complete a schedule of games will be prepared. The new series of games between the two water polo teams, the Bull Frogs and Pollywogs, of the Olympic Club, has been abandoned. A very strong rivalry had developed itself between these teams, and the last game played between them was so rough that it was thought better, in| the interests of harmony, to discontinue | them. —_——— Alarm clocks reduced to 60 cents. JAMES A. SORENSEN, 135 Sixth st., nr. Howard. —_——————— Ocean View Will Respond. Supervisor Holland's invitation to out- side improvement clubs to make the wants of their localities known to the Board of Supervisors, in order that the board may do what it can to extend such relief as the funds in the treasury will permit, has met with a ready response from the Ocean View Improvement Club. The active members of the club are very much encouraged at the interest taken in the outside sections by the new board and they expect that Ocean View will get | a little more consideration than bare cam. paign promises which have been Javi-h | thrown at them on the eve of every elec- tion for the past ten years. i CITY OFFICIALS HAVE CEASED HOSTILITIES Trouble Over Clerk- ships at an End. TAX COLLECTING TO PROCEED COLLECTOR SHEEHAN ADOPTS MILLER METHODS. Supervisors Will Allow Him the As- sistants Required in the Hand- ling of the Business of the Office. / Tax Collector Edward I Sheehan has ceased hostilities with the Finance Com- mittee of the Supervisors over the matter of the employment of extra deputies re- quired in his office. The struggle, which was expected to assume large proportions, was to all intents abandoned at a spe- cial meeting of the Finance Committee at the City Hall last night. The committee had summoned Mr. Shee- han, ex-Tax Collector Block and Hiram B. Cook, his deputy, to attend the meet- ing, and a stormy sesslon was anticipated. Mr. Block, however, refused to attend, and as Mr. Cook was in Seattle it left only Mr. Sheehan to struggle with the guardians of the city’s welfare. It was evident from the outset that a change hac come over the situation. Mr. Sheehan was suave, but not more so than the men whom he had previously charged with bringing the business of his office to a standstill. The expected struggle did not take place. Acting upon the advice of his friends, Mr. Sheehan determined not to make an aggressive fight, but to meet the Supervisors half way. During the day he had been in confer- ence with representatives of the big banking institutions which are clamoring for their tax bills. They advised him to abandon his contest, at the same time conceding nothing in the way of patron- age, which, he claimed, was the moving cause of the present disagreement. There were mutual explanations last evening, Supervisor Perrault saying that his asso- ciotes had no desire to cripple the Tax Collector in the performance of his duty. On. his part Mr. Sheehan affirmed that he recognized the right of the Finance Com- mittee to regulate the expenditure of money in his office and believed that that was the only system that would protect the city from dishonest officials, Repeat- edly during the meeting Dr. Perrauit placed Mr. Sheehan on record-to this ef- fect. Sheehan said he wanted to meet the committee half way and to do only that which was right. Upon the advice of his attorney, Eugene F. Bert, Mr. Sheehan withdrew the clause in a communication he sent to the board, in which he expressed the opinion that the new charter had gone into effect. An effort was made to induce him to with- draw the letter in its entirety, but this he declined to ao, preferring to await the action of the board on Monday next on the matter of salaries due his clerks for services rendered in January. There has been such a difference of opinion as to the number of men actually required in the Tax Collector's office that the members of the Finance Committee have determined to investigate the mat- ter for themselves. They will spend Mon- day morning in the office, and will see the amount of work to be handled. The most pressing claims on the clerical staff at the present time are the 16,800 bills for property assessed to the banks. They want to pay these before March 1. Other- wise they will have to pay taxes on this same amount of money they would have in_their vaults. Last night's meeting was an adjourned one from the morning session of the com- mittee. Expert Cyril Williams of the board presented a report as to the num- ber of men required in the office. From all the data he could collect he said that the preparation of seventy-two bills was an average day's work for one man. Op- posed to him was J. W. McCabe, formerly chief deputy in the Tax Collector’s office. He thought the average was nearer 300 bills a day. He thought that three men could do ‘the work where Mr. Sheehan has asked for twenty-five. Notwithstand- ing this low estimate he admitted that while he was in the office thére were thir- ty-eight men employed at a corresponding period. These discrepancies were not rec- onciled. Dr. Perrault volunteered the statement that he thought Mr. McCabe's ideas were a bit radical, but that a happy medium would be struck. The figures of the expert did not suit Perrault, and he pressed him in the mat- ter of their verification. Mr. Williams acknowledged that his figures were not exact, but were based on the suppositian as to the number of bills that will come in during February. This could not be verified, as it was impossible to tell the exact number tht would be received. It is expected that the controversy be- tween the Supervisors and Mr. Sheehan will be amicably adjusted at the board meeting Manday, Warrant Withdrawn. The warrant for the arrest of Herbert Merchi, collector for the Western Brass ‘Works, charging him with felony embez- zlement, was withdrawn yesterday, as it was shown that the young man had been very sick and had the money in his pos- session. —_—e——————— Dr. D'Evelyn, returned from the East.
