STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 16— The Stanford Varsity has been resting from heavy work during the past week. After the hing game played against Oregon last Saturday, Coach Yost has seen fit to give his men a surcease from this kind of work The only line-up of the week occurred Tuesday, when the first eleven made good ccond team.

California’s showing agains: Reliance was disappointing, but not prov ductive of despair. The effect of that game has been to spur_gridiron practice to unwonted zeal. Whipple, Sim son, Kaarsberg, Hopper, Cadwalader, 0'Con- nor, Hunt and Plerce have come out to aid in the coaching, and the result has been a distinct improvement in the indi- vidual work of the men. The line, though still unsatisfactory, is becoming more or less mucilaginou: The game with Ne- vada on Wednesday revealed some serious slowness and crudity in offensive play, Which was surprising after the fast bali :7}::[ v rsn{ ]}]ms already played.

Left end will probably go to Hudson, who is small but very active, and has fm- proved greatly in _the last week. All chances for getting Starr or Hill into the game have vanished, leaving the only two available candidates’ Hudson and Dibblee. Captain Pringle will not try to play be- fore next Monday.

The recent rainstorm promises well for | the shooters and ill for the feathered tribe. For the past three weeks the gun manipulators have becn praying for a deluge and now that their fervent invo- cations have been answered, many of them will leave this afternoon for their clubhouses on the marshes. According 10 the devotees of the sport, duck hunting has not been up to the ususl mark this season. It is true that many have brought home large bags as evidence of thelr expertness with the gun, but they have played in more or less good luck. Billy Johnson was out on the Alvarado marsh last Sunday and toppled over four- teen fine birds. The “Black Jacks,” consisting of Fred Jobnson, Jack Lemmer, W. C. Swayno and Bert Wyman, returned to town last week with seventy-five, General Dickinson, Colonel Miles, Ed )b, Louis Barrere and Henry Wagner will leave for Casa del Mar this after-| noon, and expect to bring home some choice ones. ~Their clubhouse is on the Pearce Ranch, which is north of the int Reyes preserves and lying between Tomales and the ocean. The Canvasback Duck Club was ont last Sunday and got over a hundred birds=. Four members of the Field and Tule Club brought home seventy-nine birds last Sunday. H. . Hosmer was high gun, with forty-two, twenty-three being maliards. John Coleman, "A. F. Hopke and Merten Unger completed the quar- tet. This afternoon a large delegation of ladies will accompany the members of the Field and Tule Club to their new club- house at Cordelia. The well-known or- nigation has inaugurated a ‘ladies’ 2y’ and the wives and daughters of the members have been invited to visit the place and see what their better halves and fathers do when they take leave of them on Saturdays. A duck dinner has been prepared by the keeper and the ladiés will be royally entertained. The ladies will stdrt out at 4 o'clock to-mor- row morning and will go out to the “pblinds” and watch the sport. They will be furnished with gum boots and other clothing necessary for the trip. Amon: those who are going are Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Miller, Mr. an . L. Titus, Mr. and Mrs. 'W. Bay, Dr Derby, J. J. Wurt- ner, H. B. Hosmer and Miss Anita C. Hosmer. On Wednesday last, Fred Bushnell was on the Cordella ponds for a rec- ord. The birds fairly whizzed about him and within an hour Fred had bagged over thirty of various species, chiefly mud hens and wiretails. The keeper. realizing that Bushnell was getting an astounding kill, came to his rescue and gathered up the birds. To Bushnell's bewilderment he found twenty-three mallards among the dead. But on returning home the | keeper of an ark discovered everything in the San Mateo Track ‘Will Be Thrown Open. HE newly organized San Fran- cisco Jockey Club will assume command of the racing situation on Monday next for two weeks of sport at Tanforan Park. The as- sociation, which replaces the Western Turf Assoclation, promises many new features for the edification of the patrons ° of the game. To begin with, there will be a brand new set of officials to look after the toftuous curves and angles that may arise. J. F. Pettingill, once famed as a starter, but now occupying a higher po- sition in Eastern and Middle Western turf circles, will preside in the judges’ stand. He will have as hls associate Ed Cole, a prominent New York sporting writer and a very keen observer of things. E4d Power will act as clerk of the scales, as he did for the Western Turf Assoclation last season. George Parsons, a well-known English gentleman steeplechase rider, will be at the head of the stretch. Richard Dwyer, or “Dick” as he is hail- ed, has been selected as starter. Mr. Dwyer comes a stranger to this section of the country, but if complimentary Fnfira notices count for anything, he is ndsed a big man. No recall flag will be used. The performance for the first meeting as arranged by Ralph Tozer seems to give general satisfaction among owners and . class by flicted with ‘“‘caput magnum” during his | sojourn in Chicago, and after trying to | ride all the small boys in the saddle over | STARTER RICHARD DWYER. trainers.

It to loses both games this week and San Francisco should win, the teams would be virtually tied. But here is the rub. San Francisco goes against Stockton and Sacramento against the Dudes. The season closes on December 3, two weeks from to-morrow, so_mnot much time remains for Hank's outfit to ut_a grasp on the pennant. It is mot fikely that the Dudes will take two games from the champions and a hagp{ division for 'Frisco would be two out of three with Stockton. In the advent of 'Frisco win- ning two of the three games this week and Sacramento losing one and then a week later both teams breaking even there will be a hot rally on the Recrea tion grounds Thanksgiving day, when the Senators cross bats with Hanxmen for their last game of the season.

Not because he has won racket honors without number, not because he | holds more cups than ne has cabinets to house them, not because he feels his pow- ers in the decline has George Whitney decided to retire once and for all from tournament play. A physician's peremp- tory order is the cause of it all. Whitney has enlargement of the hear'. superin- duced by steady, consiant and relentless | tenmsrrlaylng This it 1s that has forced him off the actlve list and it is doubtful if he will ever return to the courts for anything but light practice games. ‘Whitney, besides being coast champion in singles, shares the right to the double championship with his brother. Robert. In 1590 be jolned the California, Tennis Ciub, but was not at all prominent until 1895, He and his brother won the double invita- tion tournament at Del Monte, August, 1895, defeating George de Lon, and Thomas Driscoll in the finals. w ctober 13, 1895, the Whitney brothers® won the double championship of the California Club and in cember of the same year won the single champlonship. In May, | 1896, George and Robert defeated the oid- s, time cracks, Will Tayvlor and Joseph To- bin, at the Burlingame Country Club in | a special match.

This is not so. In fact. it is "ar from the truth. On the plains luck is the greatest factor in determining the res of courses. A dense stubble. a tum R weed. a streak of sandy soil may In real- ity determine a race. In the parks all this is equalized.
