However, at that time it was said “Lucky” Baldwin thought so well of the colt that he had given Trainer Splers in- structions to race him no more this year. Time, it appears, altered this determina- tion, and Cruzados made his reappear- ance in a race at Oakland on the 9th inst., in the Produce Exchange stakes. The speedy Glendenning was farovite for the event, but was outfooted and beaten in a big gallop by the Baldwin representa- tive. Cruzados started again over a muddy rse and repeated his previous perform- :;‘:e,uprovlngpi perfect whirlwind in the mud. Now it is claimed “Luckyl')’ a?a(lg; in is taking a long-distance pee; vAvl'nerl::'nm ngerby of 142, which classic event has seen his colors four times borne past the wire first. Trainer W. J. Splers, under whose careful supervision the colt has been trained, makes no bones of the fact that his charge would have a great chance in the big Chicago event, especially if the track should happey to be muddy. The picture shows Cruzados on his way to the post, with Ransom up. The jockey is wearing his rainy weather clothing. Baldwin just now seems on the edge of another great racing career. Some years since a Chicago paper published an item showing that since 1885, 74 horses had raced in his colors. They started 875 times and won 209 races for theh: owner. The value of the purses was $375,704. D. Cameron, the astute Calgary horse- man and trainer of the fleet mare May W, thinks Cruzados the fastest piece of horseflesh he has ever seen, not even ex- cepting Commando. It is his opinion that the two-year-old can cover four furlongs close to 46 seconds. e - . CRUZADOS, E. J. BALDWIN’S GREAT TWO-YEAR-OLD SON OF EMPEROR OF NORFOLK-ATLANTA Ii. | — GOLFERS PLAY IN THE RAIN Held Under Conditions Which Would Stop Any but Devotess Despite the unfavorable weather on Thanksgiving day there were tourna- ments on all the local courses. On the Presidio links_there was a 3-hole handi- cap tournament for three prizes; at Oak- land the formal opening of the winter season was made with the first competi- tion for the Goodall cup, and at Sausalito the golfers held a contest on the Fort Baker links for the Foster ¢up and a spe- cial prize. On the San Francisco Golt Club course the contest for the Council's cup for men is still in progress. The first round will probably be completed to-day and possibly one of the matches in the second round may be played. The next event of Interest to local golfers will be the first home-and-home match between teams representing the San Francisco and Oakland Golf Clubs, It has been the custom to have teams of eight men in these matches, but the number which will constitute the teams in the matches this season has not yet been decided. It seems that a team of not more than six men would suit the Oakland Club best, while the Presidio golfers would be willing to put a team of twelve or more men into the field, There are five first-class golfers at Oakland— E. R. Folger, holder of the amateur championship’ of the Pacific Coast; F. S, Stratton, holder of the amateur record of 78 for the Oakland course and winner of the last contest for the Captain’s cup; R. M. Fitzgerald, W. P. Johnson and C. P. Hubbard. All these are strong golfers and the four first named are frequently out for practice, besides entering all club competitions. But between these five and the rest of the members there is a con- siderable gap. The San Francisco Golf Ciub has in John Lawson and B. D. Adamson two golfers of the highest class, while Lansing O. Kellogg, cantain of the club; S. L. Abbot Jr., H. C. Golch- er, J. W. Byrne, Warren Gregory, R. G. Brown and W. H. La Boyteaux, deserve places on a club team. To these should be added H. B. Goodwin, formerly cap- tain of the San Francisco Golf Club, and one of the strongest native-born golfers here, and R. H. Gaylord, formerly secre- tary and winner of one of the contests for the Council's cup. Neither of these has been seen on a golf course for some time. It is probable both Captaim Orestes Plerce and Captain L. O. Kellogg will be in favor of making the teams as large as they can reasonably be made. The men who are selected to represent their club feel their efforts may turn the tide of victory and defeat, and are stimulated to more regular practice of the game. Golfers in Great Britain are beginning to discuss the new golf ball, which was ‘used by several of the contestants in the United States amateur championships, both for men and women. But the b itself does not appear to have reachéd Great Britain, though doubtless it will do so soon. It has a core of gutta- percha, around which are wrapped strings of rubber, the whole having a gutta- percha covering with the usual nicks and markings. It is said that drives from the tee are lengthened thirty to forty yards by using the new ball, so that it is par- ticularly helpful to golfers who drive a straight but not a long ball. It is also said to travel a long distance off an iron club. The disadvantage of the new ball is that it is difficult to control on ap- proach shots; and on damp ground it does not seem to have any appreciable ad- vantage over the gutta-percha ball of the ordinary type. Against the wing it is be- lieved to be actually inferior, as it is lighter and more easily deflected. The Baltusrol Golf Club made an attempt to ‘prohibit its use in an open tournament for women, but this was, of course, entirely erroneous, as the rules of golf do not prescribe the size, weight or material of the ball, and players are free to use any- AUTOMOBILISTS ARE ENERGETIC Organizing Country Runs and Endeavoring to Gain the Use of Park Roads and Drives The meeting of the Automobile Club of California at the CUff House on Tuesday evening was one of the most enthusiastic that has been held by the chauffeurs. President F. A. Hyde referred to his re- cent trip through the Eastern States, during which he speclally inquired into the regulations governing the admission of self-propelled vehicles into the public parks of New York, Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities. A hope was expressed that the automobilists of San Francisco will ere long be permitted to use the public pleasure grounds freely. R. R. 'Hommedieu, who has performed the dutles of secretary of the Automobile Club for several months past, resigned his office for reasons which were not stated at the meeting, receiving a cordial vote of thanks for his services. The question of a button and cap badge for the chauf- feurs came up, designs rrepared by a'local jeweler being submitted by 8. D. Rogers, former president of the Automobile Club. A well-known member of the club ex- pressed a strong preference for a design characteristic of the State of California, and, though nothing definite was.done, it is likely that a grizzly Dear’'s head in- closed in a circle on which are the letters A, C. will be the design adopted. It was decided that the directors be em- powered to make arrangements with J. M. Wilkins of the Cliff House to set apart a large room on the fourth floor for the use of the automobilists, where they may meet. On Sundays a luncheon will be set between noon and 2 o’clock. The - ular monthly meetings of the club will be held on the night of full moon at Cliff House. At the outing on Tuesday night there were about fifteen automo- biles. As several of them were capable of seating four persons, there were be- tween forty and fifty chauffeurs and guests at Cliff House. On the return trip an clectric surrey driven by 8. D. Rogers ran short of power and was towed into the city by a surrey operated by W. 8. Agnold. Charles L. TFair's Panhard- Levassor. machine was on Van Ness ave- nue, but did not make the run to CIliff House. On the return trip a machine driven by one of the operators of the Mobile Company was coming rapidly down Golden Gate avenue, parts of the pave- ment of which were wet. The wheels skidded, hurling the machine violently against the curbstone and throwing the occupants out. The rig was wrecked, but the occupants escaped without injury. A smooth wet pavement is dangerous to a machine going at a rapid gait, and no automobilist should go over such a sur- face at a speed higher than eight to ten miles per hour. Tuesday night's run was under the new | regulations recently issued by the com- mittee on runs, Robert Lennie being cap- tain. The next run will probably be into the country, Niles Canyon having been suggested as the point of destination. —_———— Signal Corps Will Play Alameda. The game of football which was to have taken place on Thanksgiving day be- tween teams from the Signal Corps and from Alameda was postponed on account of the muddy condition of the_ gridiron. The game was postponed until December 7, both teams continuing their training. Tickets sold for the original date will be good for the postponed game. @ it @ thing they please. Nor can it be said that it is taking an unfair advantage of an opponent to use the new ball, as it can be bought by any one in the open mar- ket. The attempt'to prohibit the use of the ball in the United States men’s ama- teur championship contest failed, Walter J. Travis using 4t and making an ex- cellent score. The strongest argument against its use 1s that it is much more expensive than the ordinary solid ball. TENNIS COURTS ARE IN DEMAND Players Invade the. Park and the California Club Grounds Seeking a Spell at the Nets Although the weather of the past fort- night has not been the best for tennis, the players have been out in great num- bers and some good matches have been’| piayed. The crack players of a few years ago are gradually coming back to the game and in another month such men as Will Taylor and Tom Driscoll will be trying conclusions with the champions of to-day. A match between either Taylor or Driscoll and Smith would be interest- ing and would show where the former stand. Taylor is a marvel of accuracy, but it is doubtful if he could stand up before the hard hitting -game of to-day. Driscoll, although more brilliant than Taylor, is hardly as effective. “‘Bob” Ayre is one of the old timers who has again taken up the game. He shcewed considerable skill in a match last Sunday on the local courts. Gus Taylor was the first of the former cracks to re- turn to the game. Although his game consists, mostly in getting the balls back, ?e can hold any of the second class men 1o n. ick' Erskine showed last Sunday he is a hard man to beat when given a liberal handicap, Smith allowed Kuehu, the best man in the fourth class, “thirty” and won, 6-2, 6-2. Erskine, who ranks beiow Kuehn, received the same odds and beat Sraith 6-0 the first set. He also had a good lead in the final set, being within a point of winning twice, and with a little luck would probably have won. Erskine seems to be the-only man in the lower classes who knows the proper game Lo play with a handicap. His success is due entirely to the fact that 'he takes chances. His swift service and hard drives give the scratch men considerable annoyance. Most of the mén play a care- ful game and as the higher class men are more skillful the handicap bothers them but little. The intercollegiate tennis looks: to be aL in favor of the University of Califor- nis this year. Berkeley has had a try- out already, and as a result the teams representing that college will be picked from the following men: Fred Brown, Drummond McGavin, Herold Braly, Reu- ben Hunt and Trow Hendrick. Stanford will reply upon Harry Wiche for victory this year. S, H. Adams, his partner in doubles, has left college and will not play. His place will probably be taken by Duval Moore, who is a prom- ising player. With Wiehe for a partner, he should do well in doubles. The park players are improving rapidly and will undoubtedly send several good men into the championship tournaments next year. There will be a tournament on the park courts to-morrow. It will probably be a class singles. —_————————— Olympic Handball Tournament. The various winners up to the present time in the Olympic Club handball tour- nament will meet to-morrow morning at 11 o’clock in a series of games. The play- ers are drawn as follows: First class—J. J. Gleason vs. H. V. Russ; es vs, Willlam Cartwright; T. J. Curley, a ‘“bye.’” Second class—Louls Levy vs. George Janes: John Tait vs. M. Green and F. Stratford vi Tom Powers. Third clags—Max Rosenfeld vs. T. I Fifz- ratrick; Jack Cunningham vs. C. K. Melrose; F. Krone, a “bye.”” —_———————— Hagerty Charges Fraud. Robert D. Hagerty, a member of the stationery firm of Hagerty & Forsyth, is suing his partner, A. C. Forsyth, for §150 damages and a dissolution of partnership. He alleges that Forsyth, who keeps the ho%ku for the firm, has by false entrles and changes in accounts defrauded him of §150 and has refused to allow him to see the books or give an accounting. He asks the court for the appointment of a recelver to take charge of the affairs of the firm. & & MAY NOT SHOOT BY MOONLIGHT | Game Wardens Are Watching in the Vicinity of Alvarado for Violators of the State Law The game wardens are determined to Pus a stop to the shooting of ducks on the Alvarado marshes after sunset and befbre sunrise. Some days since a doc- tor and two of his guests were arrested for participating in the unlawful sport. The fine for persons convicted of violat- ing this section of the game law is $25. As the game wardens receive half of this for each conviction their interest is con- siderably sharpened. The sportsmen, who would not think of taking advantage of the moonlight shooting, naturally object to men who do take this advantage and return with big strings of birds. It | means a slaughter of ducks, as under, good conditions a great many can be bcgged. 'T'he flash of the shotguns has the tendency to scare away a lot of birds and in the long run makes bad shooting. | The sport last Sunday was of uneven quality, men shooting from adjoining pre- serves obtaining widely different results. On Thursday and Friday thousands of biras were seen, but on Sunday they had disappeared as if by magic. The northern birds are now making the Alvarado marsh a stapping place in their flight to the south. The experts are able to distinguish them from the home birds by their full plumage and other charac- teristics. Otto Feudner enjoyed another record shoot near Denverton last Sunday. This time he secured thirty ‘‘cans,” twelve mallard and eight sprig. The ducks were so plentiful that half his total number of birds were secured in twenty' minutes. Down at the Spooney Gun Club pre- serve, near Mount Eden, three members secured sixty birds. L. R. Larzalere, Mr. Guyatt and William Whitehead were the members out. When the sportsmen were coming home Sunday afternoon the birds were arriving in numbers. Mr. Miller of Alvarado had one of the g?sdt shoots of the day, killing thirty-five rds. On' the Field and Tule Club preserve near Suisun eight members had a suc- cessful day on Sunday. Two hundred ducks in all were secured. The members in attendance were J. B. Coleman, H. B. Hosmer, A. M. Shields, W. Bay, J. H mer Fritch, Louis Titus, Colonel D. E. Miles and A. Warnecke. The gunmen are not sure what sport is in store for them to-morrow. Thdy have ceased predicting and now go out ready to accept conditions as they find them.

OAKLAND, Nov. 20.—The Reliance Ath- letic Club boxing exhibition, to be given in the club gymnasium next Tuesday, promises good sport for admirers of the fistic game. There will be three contests, all of which should be worth watching. The main event will be a fifteen-round go between Frank McConnell and Jack Capeliss.

The reports of the appraisers appointed to determine the value of the estates of Agnes Tillman and Henry Levy were filed yesterday. They show that the Till- man estate consists of real estate in this city and Alameda and Santa Cruz coun- ties worth $36,975 and that Levy died possessed of stock, notes and real estate worth $41,419 2. HUNT CLUB MEN IN THE FIELD The Sedfon Opens Auspiciously and High-Class Sport Seems Assu-ed by San Mateo Hounds The season of the San Mateo County Hunt has started auspiciously, with prom- ise of a most successful season. There will be meets of the hounds every ‘Wednesday and Saturday. J. J. Moore, acting master of the Hunt, has issued the following list of fixtures covering the re- maining meets of this year: Saturday, November 30, 2 p. m.—Homestead Common, San Mateo.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.—A long step to- ward the elimination of professionalism from college athletics was taken to-day by the faculty representatives of the Intercollegiate College Conference, who held an all-day session here. The fol. lowing rule was passed: “No student is eligible to compete in a college team who plays in so-called ama- teur, semi-professional or professi baseball games -where gatgmoen:y? n?: charged, or where prizes, premiums or purses dre offered.” Whether the rule s retroactive settled by the committee, and after foc meeting it was announced that this phase of the matter had not been thought of or discussed. It was voted to discourage as far as possible. prolonged absences from college on tours. The bdicycle event was dropped from all the programmes of college athletic meets in the future. A rule was passed that the lmit of four vears in college athletics, bevond which a student 18 not eligible to contest, meacs four years in the aggregate, and ot fous years on any one team. —_———— Consider Boxing Licenses, The Supervisors’ Police Committee ves- terday considered the proposed ordinance increasing the license tax on professional boxing clubs from $1200 ¢ num.

Both boxers are training faithful for the contest. Lavigne is roundir into condition at his old training c ters, Blanken’s Six-mile House, Heagerty is doing his preparatory work near Colma. After his long lay-off from the fi game Lavigne is showing good form he has lost his old-time speed, as think, he does not show it in his rig every-day training. Lavigne looks in fignting trim aiready. For the month he has been putting in five or hours of hard training daily, and physique is beginning to show the g effects of the flesh-stripping work. boxers will weigh in at Harry Corbe at 3 o’clock on the afternoon on the of the fight.
