On the way out to Tanforan Park Thanksgiving day Barney Schreiber re- marked some friends that he could mever winon a holiday and was undecided &s to whether he would cut in. The de- lghtful weather and the big crowd had a #oftening effect and Barney lald prices along with twenty-two other bookles. It was the same old story, for he quit the afternoon just $2500 loser. But the St. Loult man was not the only one to grab end of the stick.

YACHTSMEN AT PEACE WITH SAUSALITO TOWN If Barrels or Bubys Are Inthe Way of Government Ships They Wwiil Be Removed. The yacht owners and the Town Council ave reached an amicable th regard to the unoccupied the clubhouse of the San Club. Ordinance No. 70 by the Town Council May 3, moorings off Francisco Yacht 97, but though it created some little stir at the time has been allowed to remain inoperative. It gives power to the presi- dent of the Board of Trustees, who was at the time of its passage General J. H. | Dickineon but i now Adolph Sylva, to re- quire cht anchored or moored with- in the waters over which the Council has jurisdictior to move or change her an- chorage or mooring whenever in his judg- ment it shall be necessary for any pur- Jose. The violation of the ordinance ma; Do Punished by « fine of not more than 3§25, and a further fine of $5 for each day that the vessel remains at her mooring after notice. The Town Council naturally wishes to_promote the prosperity of Sau- salito and to encourage the adoption of the town as a wintering place for revenue survey and other Government ves- sels. Adolph Sviva says that while he would not ask that any yacht lying at her moorings should be removed, he does not think that the floats connected with un- used moorings should be permitted to block the bay and to keep away vessels the presence of which, with scores or hun- dreds of men on board, mean much to the tradespeople of Sausalito. F. A. Hyde, charterer of the yawl Royal and a mem- ber of the 8an Francisco Yacht Club, was unable to be present at the meeting of the vacht owners last Sunday, but gave it as his opinion as a lawyer that, even if the rove’ defective or inoperative, there are United States stat- utes governing the matter, and a moor- ing once removed under them could never be replaced. The schooner Ramona, owned by Supervisor and Commodore W:'N. Mec- arthy, is lying at her own moorings, the yawl Tramontana is at the moorings of the Lurline and two or three small sloops, among which are the Dewey and Juanita, are afso moored in the deep water chan nel off the clubhouse. The mooring buoys or barrels of the yachts Sappho, White Wings, Folly and Lurline are those that chiefly interfere with the anchorage. If any Government vessel comes into Sausa- lito and her commander complains that certain mooring barrels are in the way of his eraft taking up a suitable and econ- venient anchorage the eommodore will no- tify the owner to remove the float and drop his mooring chain to the bottom. The schooner Chispa has already done this and has taken up 3 mooring to the north of the ferry slip, where are lying the steam yacht El Primerc, the schooners Virginia, White Wings, Aggle and Lurline, the yawi Phyllis and some sloops. It will not be necessary to remove the moorings them- selves, but only the floats and the ropes attached thereto. The lines can then he connected with other buoys or barrels, so that when the yachts come back in the -Bn‘n{ they can readily pick up their chain: » Nine out of ten own- | \other race that is on the grill is the | In deci-| of form shown by | ouis Ezell's mare the officials might take | | ELEVEN THE i BEST. | |Opinion | Men as | 40 the ! Merits of the Two University Teams. The general opinion among football men in regard to the Thanksgiving day game is that the better team lost. This may seem antithetical, but it is pretty much of | @ fact, nevertheless, and the game be- tween Stanford:and California this year was an example of what well-directed, chanceful endeavor will do on the football field. 5 During the first half of the game the bzll was in Stanford's possession on so few occasions as never to give California the least cause of apprehension. From Palo Alto came the glowing accounts of superior offense, but on the fleld and | tics came to a sudden halt. on the other hand, plunged through the Stanford line for consistent, appreciable g2ins and twice in this half was within scoring distance. Once Stanford’s line took on @ bit of mucilage and held fast, Callfornia losing the ball on downs. The second time, with but a few yards to gain, Womble gave the signal for a drop kick, a try for goal which falled. It seems strange that another attempt to gain the necessary distance was not made. Stan- ford's line had been found puncturable enough up to that time and the uncer- tainty of a fleld goal should have per- svuded California to try for a touchdown. | In this half California’s defense was superb and her team play offensive, far better than Stantord's though none too | good at that. In fact, the only sembiance Of team work jn the first part of the game | was displayed by California, Stanford be- ing pretty much at sea in this regard. Later on Stanford pulled together and then her offensive work was of better quality. In the second half the cardinal | had the blue and gold on the run for a time, but whenever the ball was perilously near the California goal posts nothing could be done to advance it. Twice place- kick tries for goals were made, but with- out success. Then, as a last desperate chance, Traeger did the trick that won the game. The most noticeable feature of the was California’s losses in punting. ore round was lost in this way than the ucking gains of the eleven could com- pensate in the second half. To fortify and augment these losses came the extras by way of handling kicks. It is a remark- able thing that with backs such as Call. fornia possesses, such poor handling of kicks should be & feature of their play. The veriest preparatory school football | player could handle punts as well as the | California backs did Thursday. This it | is that lost California the game. ~When | Gammon dropped a punt on the thirty- yard line and a red shirt fell on the ball, this was a costly play, for soon after the fleld goal was kicked. From the standpoint of football Thurs- day’'s gdine was glittering only in its errors. Compared with the California team of last year, this year's eleven 1is like a steam dymmy to a modern locomo- tive. The concentration of effort and the ability to take full advantage of accidents and incidents of the game were lacking. This may have been due to the pejorative conditions_existing at Califo the ne- cegsity of trying new men to fill un- expected vacancies or to mistaken judg- ment on the field. And Stanford offerea nothing in the way of team brilliancy to mzke the football enthusiast raise his breath. The game was pretty much ore of _individual effort. Both teams possess men who worked hard and earnestly and showed thelr full mettle. The much heralded Siaker and Seeley did not prove tliemselves superior in any way to the well developed home material. It was only in the second half that Slaker's efforts were fruitful. Smitn, Erb and_especlally Hill of Stanford and Warren Smith and Gammon of Californta were all In the game and showed it by their work. Some talk is heard among the Stanford collegians of bringing the Harvard team to (ihe coast. _Just what sh: Stanfora could put itself in to meet Harvard by Christmas is a matter of pure and idle speculation. Steady coaching might de- velop the gm!nt team iInto a formi eleven, but it would take long and 1!

According to intercollegiate agreement the coaches of the university teams will be hereafter graduates of the colleges.

At Stanford, Fickert, Frankenheimer, Murphy and Reynoids. This inter- collegiate agreement, as well as that in | regard to the playing of the big game on | the college ground, Is unsatisfactory to many and may be rescinded. OAKLAND DOG SHOW WILL BE A SUCCESS Many Entrles?{ to Be Heard From Betokens a Big Bench Display Across the Bay. With the exception of the mail from the north, the entries for the show to be held in Oakland on the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th of this month have been received and tabu- | lated. While they are not quite up to the standard set by the bench show commit- tee, yet they betoken a great Improve- | ment on the number drawn by the recent SBacramento and Tanforan shows. The judge, E. Davies of Dewdney, B. C., while an unknown quantity in California, has given uniform satisfaction at the shows he has judged in the north and, moreover, enjoys the added prestige of a | successful career in the judging ring in England. If goes without saying that the Prounect of having an expert of this cali- her pass on a dog has induced many fan. clers to enter. The northern entry is esti- mated to consist of about twenty-three doge and thirty entries; the number of | dogs entered already is 164, the individual | entries amounting to 14, which will make | a grand total when all are in of 189 dogs | and 224 entries. | Among the dogs to be exhibited are sev- eral new arrivals on the coast, notably a Boston terrier just brousht out by Thom- as H. Willlams Jr., and the great prize winning fox_terrier Vibo, purchased by Charles K. Harley. This dog has done considerable winning in England and has had since his importation from that coun- try a most successful career in the East- ern bench shows. The Pacific Coast Fleld Trials Club has announced the definite choice of the club for this year's fleld trials to be Coronado, North 1Island being the site - selected. Thomas Johnson of Winnipeg, who gave such satisfaction as judge on his last oc- cal.l:‘on, will again officlate at the coming trials, —_———— SAN MATEO HUNTERS RIDE AFTER COYOTE Beast Proved Too Slow and Wa * Caught After a Short Run of Two Miles. The meet of the San Mateo County Hunt Club will take place to-day at Reld's School, Belmont, at 2:30 p. m. The meet on Thanksgiving day was at the Burlin- game Btock Farm, when a fleld of a dozen or more enjoyed a pleasant run of about five miles. Afterward a coyote was let loose; but he did not turn out to be very fast and was caught and killed after a run of hardly two miles. The pack will meet at 2 p. m. next Wed- nesday at the Poor Farm gate on the Spanishtown road. Next Saturday the meet will be at Uncle Tom’s Cabin, San Bruno. During the absence of F. J, Caro- lan the pack is hunted by the huntsman. The master of the hunt is expected to re- turn to California in about two weeks, when he will assume control of the sport, wglch will be conducted in strict Ioc%o ance with the practice in vogue in the Eastern e8. .

Games Percent- Lost. ag 3 Sacramento 43 San Francisco 47 a Stockton 39 % Oakiand . 3 51 This is the week scheduled for the clos- ing of the baseball season, one which has been more or less instrumental in reviv- ing the old and long slumbering spirit of the fanatic. with even a greater set of twirlers than wore the gilt the preceding year that club was by no means the undoubted cham- pion until about six weeks ago, when the local team lost its winning stride. Then Sacramento forged ahead, leading (ke local team easily for first honors. - Sac- ramento will wave the pennant another year. | he season started off in doubt and un- certainty as far as the relative merit of the teams went. Sacramento, fortified by Hughes, was rated the stronger; Stockton, with an aggregation of hitters second to none, was considered & good second; Oak- land, looking very well on paper, was more or less enigmatical, and San Fran- cisco was proclaimed the sure tail-ender. At this time the local team was in a form- ative state, waiting for a shortstop and & first baseman. Until the season was fairly well ad- vanced the teams ranked in the above order, San Francisco began to play bet- ter ball about two months after the open- | snot | ing and by a series of victories ahead of land. Then came the race for second place and in steady. currential fashion the locals outdistanced Stockton. During the last four months San Francis- go_has been occupying the second placs, Stockton third an land fourth. The struggle for first place between San Francisco and Sacramento in the middle | of the season and that of a month ago | were the sensational epochal stages. For both these series crowus turned out that flooded the grounds and there was every bit as much excitement as in the old “hal- cyon days.”” The character of the games was such that the sated palate of the old fanatic was tickled. Then came the re- action and since those nolsy games the season has worked itself along easy paths. ‘What changes are in store has not yet been decided upon. There has been some talk of securing a grounds site on the southwest corner of Eleventh and Market streets, now occupied by a long row of low houses. It has been well proved tha: the present grounds lack space and ac- commodations for the public on big days. It is hardly likely that a series of win- ter baseball will be plaved this year, as the spirit is averse to it.

The storms of last week scattered the ducks and the shooters were all in a quandary last Saturday and Sunday on the Suisun marshes. Not a club in that locality had what was considered any- thing of a shoot and all the gunners re- turned home disgusted and disgruntled. Toward the end of the week, after the | north wind began to blow, the ponds | showed more of the feathered tribe and those few men who could get away from town on. Wednesday found the sport much improved. The shooting clubs will be well packed to-morrow with ardent Nimrods, most anxious to take advantage of :he present conditions.

To-morrow Horac Rawlins and h Harry, prof ionals of the Oal ub, will Golt C pay a visit to th new course of the Sausalito Golf Club, which it has been necessary to lay out again in consequence of the barracks and officers’ quarters to be erected by the Government. The course is lald out over very rough ground and is unusually 4! cult. The course on the Fort Baker res- ervation was first lald out by Stephenson, formerly instructor of the San Francisco | Goit Club, In conjunction with Captain T. W. M. Dra?er. It takes in all the avail able space of the canyon between _the | fortifications and Fort Baker. The first | four holes are over fough but not spe- clally difficult ground. e fifth hole is a hard one, as there are several little ravines caused by the branching of a creek. Then the golfer pursues his “gut- ty,” baving to his right a s hill and to his left a little gorge; next he has to cross the ridge with two small biind | gulches against the wind. A drive down- {ll across another gulch brings the | player to the seventh hole, between whi | and the eighth is a screen of trees 2 narrow opening to the right.
