THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, O UBER 15, 1 SPORTS OF AUTUMN ON THE GRIDIRON, DIAMOND, TRACK, FIELD, RELIANCE AND STANFORD ELEVENS ARE tanford will meet xteenth and Fol- som street grounds in the first college-athletic club, football game played this season on a lo- cal gridiron. Two weeks ago Reliance played Stanford and was defeated by a single goal. Last Saturday the same team played a tie game with California. These ELIANCE and to-day on the early successes have put ginger into the clubmen, nd they will play hard and this afternoon for the honors of Oct. 12.—Dissatisfied with the poor showing of his patchwork eleven last Saturdays Coach Kelly has been shifting his mien around at a lively rate during this week. With the exception of the veterans the rest of the team has re- celved @ thorough shaking up, especially the backs and the Jeft of the line. Most of the positions still stand wide open, and the problem who shall flll them is any- thing but easy. Nothing satisfactory has been developed to satisfy the demands of the quarter- back question.

PACIFIC ASSOCIATION IN MONTHLY MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the Pa- cific Association of the Amateur Athletic Unjon was held last ing present from the Alameda Boat Club, the Doiphin Boating Club, the Ariel, South End and Pioneer Rowing clubs, and the universities of Stanford and Califor- nia. George James., John Elliot and H. A. Keeler were selected to serve on the board of managers of the Amateur Ath- letic Union of the United States. The secretary of the Pacific Association was instructed to communicate with the Lur- line Swimming Ciub and the Stockton Athletic Association, informing those bodies that, unless they send representa- tives to the next meeting of the asso- ciation, they will be dropped from the roll. ‘President W. B. Hinchman an- nounced that before the next meeting he will _appoint commissioners in each branch of sport recognized by the asso- ciation. The following committees were appointed: On records, H. A. Keeler, R, utchinson and George Eliiot; on legis- lation, George James, J. R. Bockman and T. R. Sands; on finance, 'A. H. Mellitz, A. P. Rothkopf and R. Hutchinson. T. R. Sands, president of the regatta com- mittee, announced that the late- J. B.

It is doubt- | ful whether any such excitement was ever | seen before at a baseball game in this city. The crowds in the old Haight street were larger and the interest in the stration and wiid delirlum of noise mond performance. The game itself was not food for critical enjoyment. Full of errors and wild inco- herencies, it was anything but a scientific game. Both teams played nothing better than rank baseball. It was the turn of fortune, a lucky victory, when defeat in | big black letters was registered against | San Francisco that made the excitement and took 900 people clean out of their minds. Cut out the plangent accompaniment, supplied by the spectators, and the last game of the remarkable series between Sacramento and San Francisco is not worthy of a passing notice. The first two | games were. On Saturday"twelve innings of careful, scientific baseball were played, the result being a tie. When two nines play as long a game as_this and but a single error on each side is committed then a scientific game is in order. And Hughes, the great, was in the box for Sacramento. He was hit'and hit hard, during the Saturday game. When called into the box Sunday, ostensibly to save the game, he touched for three hits in a single inning. It looks as if Hughes were not the glant of other days. At any rate he was found by the local swatters. Fitzpatrick, who pitched the morning game at Oakland, was put in the box during the afternoon. This was a plece of poor judgment on Harris' part and it nearly cost him the game. ‘Fitzpatrick never could hold his head before a big crowd, and the work in the morning weakened him considerably. The Oakland game was the best of the season from the baseball view point. The score, 1—0, and one error are points to remember. The same small gap separates the lead- ers and the same congestion exists be- | tween Oakland and Stockton. The race for leadership and the tait end position s equally hot. This afternoon the German nine will meet the millers in this city. They will | line up: | _Stockton. Position. San Francisco. Graham : - Sullivan Johnson . Pitcher. Fitzpatrick Straub . First base ..

Though there is no regatta in sight for | some months, the rowing men are taking | | advantage of the smooth water and clear, | warm_days to spend most of Sunday | around the hoathouses. The Ariel Rowing Club is gaining new members constantly and the project of erecting a new and commodious boathouse is receiving much attention. Dr. C. C. Dennis of the South End Row- ing Club thinks that for the purpose of | maintaining interest during the winter the clubs on Long Wharf ought to hold monthly barge races and skiff contests, | allowing the crews or scullers in_the heavier and slower boats a time handicap based upon the speed of the craft. Nothing further has been done with re- gard to the suggested amalgamation of | the Olympic and Triton boat clubs, which at one time seemed somewhat probable. The boats belonging to the Olympics, which had been stored in the Triton boat- house, have now been taken back to the Olympic quarters at Tiburon. As the | Dolphin membership §s full and the Tri- tons have the only other boat club on the north side of the city a few new members are joining the latter club. KENNEL NOTES AND BENCH SHOW ECHOES | Ploneer crew sent The late show at Tanforan Park, while not distinguished for the large number | of dogs exhibited, was remarkable for | the satisfaction seemingly afforded to the exhibitors. Oply one protest was devel- oped, and tha? was caused by a misap- rehension on the part of ‘the noted ockey, Tod Stoan, who entered his English Setter in the novice class under the name of Flying Fox, whereas the dog had been registered as Royal Gladstons Fdwin F. Smith, the secretary of the San Fra cisco and San Mateo "Agricultural Asso- ciation, has suspended the dog's win, | pending the decision of the secretary of the American Kennel Club. The first litter of Boston *Terriers ever whelped on the Pacific Coast was born on Monday last. Mrs. J. P. Norman's Lady Montez (A. K. C. 8. B. 56727), by Champion Spider out of Lizzie, gave birth to five well-marked pubpics, sired by Mrs. H. H. Carlton's Tremont (A. K. C. S. B. 4707), by "'fhorndllkc Brindle, out of Lorden's ollie. James Cole, who performed so sat- isfactorily in ‘the judging ring at Sacra- mento, has been compelled to decline the invitation of the California Collie Club to judge the show at Oakland. It is un- derstood that Mr. Davies of Victoria. B. C.. will officiate in his place. Mr. Davies has had a long and honorable carcer, hoth in England and on this coast, and there is probably no one on the coast who could give nearly as much satisaction as an all- | Tound expert. | for twenty DUCK SHOOTING | DOES NOT MEAN | HEAVY STRINGS Birds Seem to Have Dis= appeared—Quail Sea~- son Will Open in Marin.

The cricketer charged with the duty of getting together the team of present-day players wished the game to take place in Golden Gate Park, but the oldtimers desired to play in Alameda, where several of them reside, Hence a deadlock and the abandonment of the match. The return match, Young America ver- sus Old England, willsbe played to-mor- row on the Webster-street ground, Ala- meda. Young America will be represent- ed by F. Croll, ain; V. Seebeck, W. G. Fortmann, H. Byrd, A. Willis, B, Theo- bald, H. Ward » L. Schroeder, J. Brown, W. Richter and F. Stahl. W, G. Fortmann, Harold Ward and F. Croll will be the bowlers, while the same three, with V, Seebeck, H. Bird and L. Schroeder, are looked to as the run-getters. Old Eng- land will be represented by R. B. Hogue, captain; J. J. Theobald, E. G. Sloman, J. H. Saunders, A. D. Reynalds, H. Ward, C. Coles, D. Jamieson, A. Wild- ing, J. Myers and J. Guild. On the occa- sion of the first match Young America beat Old England by nearly thirty runs, and hopes to repeat its victory to-mor- row. The teams are nearly the same as in the first match. The Old Engiand team has a_great deal of batting strength and should turn the tables on its young an- tagonists. ———— ‘Wardrobe Trunks.

The la- dies will shortly get out a programme of events for the winter, Miss Hoffman being the official handicapper. The green com- mittee will prepare programme of e nts for the men. At present the Pre- idlo course is ve rd, but as soon as it has been softened by rain the work of improving it will begin. New teeing grounds will be built and the putting greens rolled and leveled. Last Saturday the qualifying round for the competition for the Captain's cup was played on the links of the Oakland Geolf Club and to-day the cup contest will take place over eighteen holes, medal play. Next Saturday there will be men’s four- somes, with handicap, for club members, match’ play, over eighteen holes, for tr phies. Nothing has so far been heard of a challenge from the Oakland Golf Club to the San Francisco Golf Club for a team match. But as the event has become an annual one it is presumed that the losers of last year's series of matches will issue a challenge, especially as a former United States open champion, Herbert Rawlin has been engaged as instructor.
