The tournament committee of the Cali- fornia Tennis Club is planning a novel tournament. This is to hold & tournament for each of the classes on different days and an inter-class handicap tournament for the winners of the classes, The short- ening days and the large entry list make it impossible to complete a class tourna- ment in one day. The public courts in Golden Gate Park are being placed in better condition and in a short time will be as good as any similar courts in the State courts are much harder than they were at first and will be in first-class order in & month or two. The courts are particu- larly fast after a rain. The old band- stand has been removed. In its place is being erected a fine club house, which will be fitted with lockers and showers. It is the intention of the park tennis players to hold a tournament on the first Bunday of each month. It would be a good plan for these players to appoint & tournament committee to handle the matches. There will probably be a dou- bles match between Collier and Crowell the California Club and Routh and lap, the park champions, on Sunday. Football Night at the Alhambra. At the Alhambra Theater this evening the University of California football team will be the guests of honor, according to Berkeley's custom. Rostand’s poetic comedy, “ThesFantasticks,” will be pre- sented by a student cast, under the direc- tion of Professor L. Du Pont Syle. In former years the college boys bought the seats of one of the regular playhouses. This r an attempt has een made to present something original. No expense has been spared in the prep- arations. The boxes will be occupled by the football team, President Wheeler, Mrs. Phebe Hearst, Regent George C. Pardee and other well-known university people The college management has $250 deposit with the proprietors Alhambra as a surety that the will not earry away the scemery or do any other damage if Berkeley wins the big football game. Seats have been on sale during the last week in both Berke- ley and the city and indications are that the house will be well filled placed of the —_————— Record High Jump by a Horse.

Behind them they have the loyai support of the colleges they represent—of the men and women who have watched them grinding and struggling day after day on the gridiron, | and have felt their confidence in the | team’s ability to win grow with each suc- ceeding day. The season opened in a balf-hearted fashion, with the material in doubt. Time and work have changed this, and California sup- | porters look for victory. They recognize | the struggle will be hard and the game | close, but in Berkeley there is a strong 1teeling of coniidence as to ulumate suc- cess which aces not come from loyalty alone. No man on the team mentions defeat. The word has fallen into disuse in the training quarters, yet who have watched the work, secrifice and care of coaches and men cannot say that Cali- fornia has a case of ‘‘over-confidence. The team is going in determined to win, will have been some good football played in San Francisco to-morrow. The last two days have been passed | with just work enough to keep the men in condition. Signal practice, punting and running in cf punts has been the ex- tent of the exercise. Considerable time has been spent in the training quarters | in order to get all the benefits possible of the trainers’ care. Bruises were looked | after and strained muscles kneaded and | worked, after the strenuous methods of athletic training, back into shape agaia. On the whole the physical condition of | the team is satisfactory. | is not expected to last, but the team has a good man in Starr to take his place. Dibblee may not go on the field at all, for his condition is such that another night's rest and care must be had to determine that. Duden's series of unlucky acci- dents puts his ability to stay through the game in question. He has gained much during recent rest and is counted on to make a good showing, whether in the game five minutes or throughout both halves. Stow’'s shoulder is sore, but should not hinder his play seriously. There will probably be considerable shifting of positions during the game. In defenstve work it is planned to have Hud- son go back of the line and Womble play end. More will go in the back field, where he has no superior on the Califor- nia team. Should Duden be disabled More will go in at full, Hudson at quarter. Womble at end and Whipple at right half. Should More go out Hudson will g1 to quarter, Womble to end and Whipple to half. Should both More and Duden go out Sherman will be called into action back of the line. These shifts are made necessary through scarcity of substitute material. Records of the Men. The men whe will play for Califor: and their previous records arg as follows: Captain 1. A. Womble will represent Cali- | fornia on the gridiron for the fourth and last time against Stanford. He played at end dur- ing his freshman year and held ‘that position for the two succeeding seasons. His past work has_gained him the reputation of an alert, swift player, strong at breaking up an oppos. ing play and clever in blocking on the line. Before entering college he played end and cap- | tained the eleven from St. Matthew’s School. Womble will go on the field at richt half on the offensive, but on the defensive he will play end. He runs well with the ball, but when the opposing team has the pigskin he is needed on the line for his ability to stop end rene. GUNMEN ABANDON THE OLD IDEAS ON HABITS OF DUCKS Are Fooled on Successive Sundays by the Manner in Which Birds Were Affected The gunmen have given up all hope of knowing what kind of weather is best for duck shooting after their experience of the past two weeks. A week ago Sun- day the weather was stormy, with a heavy wind and every one on the marshes expected limit bags. To their great sur- prise there was no flight and the majority of them came home empty handed. Last Sunday was warm and it was nat- urally supposed in keeping with all prece- dent there would be no flight of birds. The opposite was the case along the San Pablo _Bay marshes.

Gendotii is light for the position, weighing but 164 pounds. Orval Ovemll, right guard, is the heaviest man on the team as well as one of its most religble players. This is his second year on the vareity, he having made the team during his freshman days of twelve months ago. Previous to that he played for three years as fullback on the Visalia High School team. Overall has developed into a first-class player. He is cool and rellable and his glant bulk formidable in defensive and offensive plays. He is often put back to run with the ball and seldom falls to gain distance for his team. In ponting he is unexceiled on this gridiron or_perhaps any other on this coast. S. M. Stow, left guard, had three vears' ex- perience as tackle on the Belmont team before coming to college. He was substitute on last year's varsity, but was put in the game soon after the first half began on account of Clay being ruled off the fleld. J. O. Hensen, right tackle. is plaving on the varsity for the first time. He made freshman tackle in 1898, after having some experience at full on the Arcata High School team. He has been faithful to his university by giving his time for the past two years to second eleven work. W. B. Albertson plays a reliable game at left tackle. He commenced his football career on the Belmont team, played tackle on the freshman eleven in '98 and substituted on the varsity in his sonhomore ye This is his Olympie hea Harry Hudson is plaving at right end after a past season's varsity experience on the other side of the line. Before entering college he played end and quarter on the Marysville High School team and end at St. Matthew's. Claude Starr is playing left end after two years' experience in the same position at St. Paul's School, Garden City. Long Island, and one year at California. He was caotain of the frestman eleven last year. Wilson Dibblee will go in at left and some time during the game, but a wrenched knee is not expected to let him stay in long. Dib- blee is a ood end and a thorough worker, He has had three years at end at Belmont apd was sub-end on last vear's varsity. Johnny More will play quarterback. He has had_a year's experience on the first eleven In the same position, played two years at half at Belmont, was fuilback on the freshman team in 1838 and sub-full on the varsity in '99. More is a splendid back fielder and passes the ball well at quarter. He is fearless and swift, but lack of welght makes his defensive vlay weak. E. Mini plays a capable game at left half. His work at running ends and diving through the line is splendid. He vlayed one vear on the Vallejo High School team and was half in his freshman vear at college. Last season he wag sub-half on the varsity. Ernest Duden is playing his second year as fullback. His early experience was on the San Francisco Young Men's Christian Associa- tion eleven and as center on the freshman team B e e R e S s and a few ‘“cans” at their shooting lodge near Sears Point. Edgar Forster and Ben Baum each se- cured some twenty-three birds also on San Pablo Bay. The marshes near Belmont were alive with sportsmen last Sunday in quest of rail. The season closes on the 15th inst., so that all who can are taking advantage of the last opportunities offered. The market hunters apparently do not keep informed on the laws governing the killing of game in this State. Every day the deputies of the Fish and Game Com- mission seize quail sent into the market to be sold. Under the new law no quail can be exposed for sale. ———— Chaffer Admits He Got Drunk. The Chaffer divorce suit yesterday end- ed in a decree of divorce and the custody of two minor children being given to Mrs. Chaffer. Suit was brought for divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty. Chaffer, who testified yesterday, admitted getting drunk “about three times a month,” but sald he seldom got so drunk that he was not able to navigate. He got drunk, he sald, every time he went hunting. Mrs. Chaffer testified that her husband insisted on having his huntin, dogs sleep on her best rugs and that he would come heme at 4 a. m. and. compel ber to get up and cook his breakfast, so that he could make an early start on a hunting trip. of the line but failed to make the varsity. . What the Coaches Say. Head Coach Dr. Frank Simpson looks for a close game and hopes for victory. He says: We have endeavored to develop an all *rcund team, which will not have to depend alone on punting or bucking or end runs, but can use them all with equal facility. We have been Landicapped greatly this season by lack of material. I have no complaint to make of the men who are in the team or who stayed Wwith the game, but many men have deserted us, especially freshmen, and there are a lot of blg men ‘around college who ought to be in suits but who are not. The boys who stayed with practice deserve great credit for the manly way in which they have conducted themselves. So far as 1 know there has been ro friction among them and never a word of complaint has reached me. They have worked faithfully and as a result we have a good team that will play together and put up a hard, gritty game. If they ave defeated they deserve the same cred:t for their honest work as if they are victorfous. With our strong de- fense and capable punting we should not allow a big score to be run up against us. Our defense ought to hold them. We hope for victory. L. A. Womble, captain of the eleven, has this to say regarding to-morrow s game: The long grind of the season fv finished. The coaches have done their best for the team in every way and I feel confident that, come Wwhat may, California will be prepared to meet it. A certain lack of material has been off- et by the spirit and determination shown by the men. Too much cannot be said in praise of the small body of loyal men which has stood by the team and the coaches and en- abled them to whip into shape the varsity materlal—I mean the second eleven. The team is @ good crowd bf light, gritty fellows who Will stay with the game'to the finish and I sincerely hope that finish will be across the Stunford goal line. Assistant Coach James Hopper spoke of to-morrow’s prospects as follows: 1 consider the chances for to-morrow's game about equal. Looking at things as cooly und dispassionately as I can, T see no ground for the tremendous confidence displayed by our Palo Alto friends. The California team is lighter, it s true, by about fifteen pounds to the man. But it is made up of men who are grim fighters and who throughout the season have shown themselves most dangerous just When things seemed most against them. The work of the team through the season, while not brilllant, has been consistent. Out of five games played it has won four, the fifth being a tle. It has been scored upon only once In the last Olympic game. It has scored alto- gether 29 points to 5 for its opponents, Stan- ford, during the same time, piled up 35 to 6 for lts opponents. but its points were Iless evenly distributed, giving only three victaries gut of five sgames. So that, although Stan- ford has scored more points, California has QUINNAT SALMON STIRS CURIOSITY OF THE ANGLERS Fi§h Which Approaches It in Appearance Is Seen in White Houe Pool, Pt.

A Jarge number of fishermen Jjourneyed there last Sunday, but the fish refused to take any of the lures offered them.

The alumni of the University of Califor- nia will tender a banquet to the Univer- sity of California football team on Mon- day night, the 1ith Inst., at 6:30 o’clock, at the Merchants' Club, Mutual Life building, corner California and Sansome streets. An interesting banquet is ex pected, as all of the football team, coach- ers, trainers and members of the facultv will be present. All alumni of the univer- sity are expected to avail of the oppor- tunity to be present. President Green Anson S. Blake, Warren Olney Jr., Bur- banks Somers and Frederic E.

If these prove to be Quinnat salmon they will help prove the theory. Heretofore these fish have entered only the big streams of the coast, the Colum- bia, Sacramento and Eel rivers, the latter through Humboldt Bay. It will be inter- esting to fishermen if they should here- after appear in the smaller streams. The California State Fish Commission will shortly commence the distribution of ,500,000 salmon fry in the public waters of the State. The eggs were taken at the United States hatchery at Battle Creek, twenty miles from Redding, and were hatched at Sisson under the direction of the California Commissioners. There will be a take of 1,000,000 salmon egsa at the hatchery just completed by the United States Government at Miil Creek, near Tehama. There was a question as to the wisdom of locating the hatchery at that point. but this has already been di: pelled. o A sixteen-pound striped bass was caught near Tiburon last Sunday by C. B.

The team will not leave Palo Alto until to-morrow morning, arriving in San Francisco about 11 o’clock, when they will proceed at once to the Palace Hotel.

Trainer Moulton vouches for the condi- tion of the men in the following state- ment: The men are all in first-class condition and will go into the game without a bandage—alk being In proper shape. No one of them will be handicapped by a bruise or sore that amounts to anything. The condition of the team fs such that they should put up better ball in the second than in the first half. I belleve the men have followed training rules as closely as possible and I appreciate their faithful train- ing and think it will bring forth good results. Captain® Fisher is cheerful over the prospects, but not overconfident. He said to-day: We think we are to meet a team just about equally as good as ours—the chances are even. Most of our new plays will be a mixture of Eastern and Western football and there fs some doubt in my mind as to their effective- ness. We are going to play a good, hard clean game of football and if we are defeated it Will be because we have met a better team. A perusal of the descriptions of the varsity men, as given below, shows that the average age of the cardinal varsity is nearly 22 years, the average height 5 feet 10 inches and the average weight -early 174 pounds. Captain Ralph Stephen Fisher, '02, right half, had no previous football experience before en- tering Stanford. He did not_appear on the “grid” during his first year here, but made the varsity In his sophomore vear. Last year a disabled shoulder kept him out of the game. Fullback Frank L.

More interest is manifested in this year’s event than in any past sea- son. This is due to the accessibility of the grounds selected for the trials and the faverable conditions offered enthu- slasts from San Francisco. The officers ot the Intersiate Coursing Club, under whose auspices the meeting will be held. are anxious to make the event a feature of the sport of the leash. That nothing may be left undone which would contri- bute to its complete success W. H. Hinchman and Peer Tiffany have been delegated to visit the “City of Little Hills" with instructions to aid in ar- ranging all necessary details. The Petaluma event will exceed in en- tries any previous meeting and from pres- ent indications will be the banner affair of_its kind. The drawing will be held at Pythian It is expected a ninety- Castle to-night. six-dog stake will be filled. The best hounds are already named and as the ciub guarantees lively hares there will be no disappointment in the search for good trials. Of the nominators D. J. Healey will have his kennel represented with six of its fliers. Pasha Kennels will have a like number, as will also George Sharman. Albert Curtis will run three of his coursers In his own name and will loan severa! of his fast ones to members of the club. Captain Cane will run three of his dogs and “Mike" Nealon will have Aeneas, Achilles and Athena to tTy for him. Hugh Lynch, with four entries, ex- pects kis Junior champion, A. J. Martin, to_bring him home a slice of the purse. W. C. Glasson has entered Sleigh Beils, Lady Sears and Master Workman, and other nominations have been spoken for b; J. Reilly, Charles C. Griswold. George Malcolm, P. M. Clarkson, Chiarini Bros., P. Doyle, J. Horn, Sterl & Knowles, Eugene Geary, W. H. Robinson, Edwin Hood, Star Kennels, H. C. Klevesahl, W. H. inchman, T. J. Cronin, Otte Zahil, Fred Price and M. Walsh. Upon the outcome of the Petaluma plains meet depends the rumnning of the proposed heat stake. Many of the owners whose coursers are admittedly in a class below that of the speedy champions in in- closed meetings expect to even up mat- ters on the fleld. If their hopes are real- ized they will be anxious to give their opponents a return at a game whers stamina is as great a factor as speed. D. J. Healey has withheld his champion greyhound Sisquoc from the plains meet- ing in anticipation of a match with Albert Curtls’ stake-winner Beacon. The Peta- luma coursing man is ready, he sa run for winner to take all should impress Curtis as an easy propo- sition. While Sisquoc is *a good, strong dog and a winner for his owner, in a match race with Beacon, where speed ‘would be the prime factor, the talent fig- ures he could not be trained to get foot onou%h to offset the great blue grey- hound. INSPECTION OF TROOPS BEGINS AT THE PRESIDIO Soldiers Being Hurried to City From All Directions to Sail on Grant. Colonel J. L.

The de- tachments of_coast artillery stationed at the Presidio were inspected yesterday and the rest of the force at the post wiil be looked over to-day. The Grant is to sail on November 13, and troops are being hurried to the eity from all directions in order to make up the quota of 850 men which the War De- partment has ordered to the Philippines on that date. It is rumored that an investigation is being carried on by the military authori- ties for the purpose of determining the right of the Spring Valley Company to pump water from Lobos Creek, haif of Which belongs to the military ' reserva- tion.
