B e i | i S ELes s TEm Ay ED | PCMFFLEY BoaRD! et KA CAEVHOUNDS AUN N DAIVING AAIN Many Favorites Have a Tempestuous Time. The concluding courses at Union Park yesterday were run in a driving rain- storm. For a time it seemed darkness would settle down upon the field and pre- vent the decision of the two stakes. These were the conditions under whick the peoplé who back the favorites wound up the most disastrous day they ever ex- perienced In the park. Of the fifty-eight courses long shots won twenty-seven, an unusually large proportion. Of the seven courses in the second round of the spec- ial stake the favorites failed to score one victory for their backers. The biggest upset of the day was the defeat of, Beile Rocket by Precita Maid, about which was laid 6 to 1. The slaughter of the favorites resulted in rank outsiders carrying off final honors. 1n tne special stake Loyal Lad beat Leola. The winner had the speed and ran up to the hare so fast that 1C did not nave ume to turn before the greyhound wus down upon it. As good as 2 to 1 went begging in the long oads book on both these uogs during the morning. Loyal Lad ran in the name of A. R. Curus, but he was purchased by J. L. Ross on Saturday for $100. The first prize was $75, and as his new owner bet on him he won the fast Crawford Lad young- ster out the first time of asking. The Australian dog Auckliand went through the open stake handily, beating Melrose Lad for the long end of the purse. These two greyhounds proved as great a surprise in their company as did the winner and runner-up in the special stake. They were also selling at 20 to 1 during the morning. The fortunes of coursing seemed against the favorites throughout the day.. In al- most every instance they ‘‘showed, the foot,” 2s leashmen {ndicate speed, but! the hares proved tricky and favored the slower dogs to the great delight of the men who backed only the dogs with the long price against them.

HEAVY wind swept across the Shell Mound rifle ranges from the bay side yesterday and in- terfered with the work of the shooters. Nevertheless the scores of thé day were good—much better than might have been expected on account of the unusual conditions. With the single exception of the Oak- land Turner Rifle Club the organizations present belonged to the infantry and cavalry branches of the National Guard of California. - The shooting consisted entirely of the regular monthly medal contests. The City Guard Rifle Club, which is composed of old members of Company B, First Infantry, held its initial shoot.

The inclement weather made play on the tennis courts yesterday rather light. Many of the cracks were on hand, but the high wind and mist prevailing spoiled the sport Lo a great extent. A special match in doubles between Sherwood Adams and Grant Smith and William Collier and Harold Crowell was the feature of the day. The match was a five-set affair, but only four sets were {required. "Adams and Smith, after win- ning the first two sets hanaily, lost the third. The fourth and deciding set was exceedingly close, the outcome being con- stantly in doubt. ‘The compiete score in favor of Adams and Smith was 62, 6-3, 3-6 and 10-5. The match was not only an interesting one, but also developed into an amusing one. After the first two sets a strong wind came up and with it a heavy mist, which made 1t almose impossible for the players to proceed. As a result, many unusual strokes were made, affording the spectators much amusement. In singles many good matches were played. The best of the day was between Frank Stringham and Will Allen. These men are two of the best in the second class and are evenly matched. Stringham was steadier than his opponent and won in straight sets. The score: 6-3, 6-0 and 8-6, Adams and Collier played a.two-set match, in which honors were even, as each player took a set. 'The score was 6-2 and 5-7. The veteran James A. Code caused a genuine surprise when he beat Allen in straight sets 7-5 and 6-3. Charles Kuehn, leader of the third class, was in fine form yesterday and beat Jack Gib- son easily. The score was 6-3 and 6-1. With a handicap of “thirty,” George ‘Whipple easily beat Frank Stringham one set. 'The score was 6-1. Stringham then sut. he- ofin d‘?_v’vn i "flt?'ae:n." butbms opponent won; 6-4. ney isbury beat Whipple; 6-2, 6-4¢ and 6-3. In doubles, Gibson and Kuehn tied the Lane brothers, the score being 8-6, 6-4, 1-6 and 1-6. A. Worthington and Dr. Noble beat Joe Daily and Archibald Duncan: 7-5. The tournament committee decided yes- terday that the tournament on Washing- ton’s birthday would be a straight singles, instead of a class singles tournament. The best players' were in favor of the latter, but thé men who stand rather low in their classes were in favor of the straight handicap, as their chances of Fother winning would be improved. A tourna- ment of this kind will lack the “class’ of a class event, as several of the best players will not participate in a straight handicap, as they are called upon to give too big odds. The tournament will com- mence on_Saturday morning and be fin- ished on Sunday. REV. DR. BELL SCORES ANGLO-SAXON HABITS Pastor Reed’s Caustic Temperance Lesson at the Frances Willard Memorial Service. A Frances Willard memorial service was held last evening at the First United Pres- byterian Church, Golden Gate avenue and Polk street. A picture of Miss Willard adorned the pulpit, around which were many choice flowers and plants. The service was under the auspices of the San Franclsco Women's Christian Tem- perance Union. The exercises opened with an anthem by the choir. The Rev. H. H. Bell, D. D., delivered an impassioned address, in which he al- luded to the liquor traffic of this and other countries. The intemperance of the Anglo- Saxon communities was severely handled. Dr. Bell said it was sad to be compelled to acknowledge that in this twentieth century the law licensed drink in face of hoasted clvilization. He regretted that the Government should be a partner in t! trafic, which was a homeé destroyer- deed it was beyond explanation. It braj ed us as cowards before high heaven and raised the question in the minds of for- eigners whether we were not a nation of fools. He declared that all Anglo-Saxons should hang their heads with shame in view of the statistics which showed the alarming consumption of liquor. L o e i S B R Y ) Hartter 570, G.

Each man is confident he can beat the in their coming battle for the- championship; hence their satisfaction at the sigding of articles of agreement yes- terday. ' . Jeffries . will leave the city to-morrow morning for Altoona, Pa., where he is to flll an engagement to-morrow night. The champion is booked for a string of oné-mght stands. He was suffering from a cold yesterday and it is possible he wilt resi tor a few days to recuperate. Jeiries said to-aa, It 1s 1mpossible for me to say just now when 1 will train for my fignt with ¥iizsimmons. The bids for the contest will be cvened on March 15. By that time I wiil be in California. If a San Francisco club is awarded the fight I wiil begin training at once at Marbin Springs, where I prepared for my fight with Ruhlin. I undersiand that several clubs besides those in San Francisco will bid, and it is_possible tnat one of them may get the fight.” “Bob” Fitzsimmons has been doing light training at Bath Beach ever since it be- came likely that he would be ‘matched with Jeffries. He was satisfled that he could stand hard training before he agreed to sign at the terms oifered by Jeffries. The brisk breezes that prevail at Bath Beach and vicinity suit Fitzsimmons for his road work. In addition, he has a well- equipped gymnasium in his barn, where he puncnes the bag and boxes with anybody that wants a go. Fitzsimmons and Gus Ruhlin had sev- eral lively goes with the gloves last week and the Akron giant announces that Fitz- simmons is as fast and can hit as hard as ever. In a few days Fitzsimmons will go to Louisville, Where he is to referee the bout between Terry McGovern and Dave Sulli- van next Saturday night. TWO BOYS DRIVE INTO SURF AT CLIFF HOUSE Timely Assistance by the Life-Saving Crew Saves Them From Drowning. What might have proved a serious acci- dent’ was. narrowly averted yesterday afternocon when two lads seated in a buggy drove into the surf near the CIiff House. The high wind succeeded in rais- ing a monstrous swell before 3 o'clock and the suyrf rolled in with ususual violence througtiout the afternoon. The few spectators on the beach at that hour were startled when a frightened horse dashed into the surf. In the busgy were two lads, about 16 years of age, both of whom were apparently too much ter- ror-stricken to restrain the animal. The alarm was given and before the vehicie reached the danger line in the surf sev- eral of the life-saving crew appeared and speedily rescued the outfit. The horse was almost drowned and the young drivers were in little better state. The animal was returned to the owner later in the evening while the drivers disappeared.

AND IN TRAINING QUARTERS “HTZ” RETANS | GOLLEGE MEN DISPLAY WRATH Nevada Students Object to Suspension From University. Fear of a Smallpox Epidemic Is the Cause of the Trouble. Special Dispatch to The Call RENO, Nev., Feb. 16.—An epldemic, claimed by the State Board of Health Lo be smallpox, has made its appearance in Reno. Seven cases aiready have been re- ported. The afflicted persons have been removed to the pesthouse, three miles trom Reno. The public schools have been closed to block a spread of the disease. Last Monday President Stubbs, by agreement with the State Board of Health, placed a partial quarantme on the State University, and requested ail students living on the campus to refrain from going down town, and asked down- town stuaents to go to and from their studies directly to their places of abode and not mingie with the general publie. This was considered the simplest method of precaution against contagion. The stu- dents were inciined to rebel from the start, and five of their number came down town Monday night in_violation of the regulation. President Stubbs promptiy suspended them. This caused a general insurrection, resulting im sixty-five young men coming down town last night in a bodg. Wednesday morning President Stubbs suspended them, making about seventy now under the ban. A committee from the suspended stu- dents called upon President Stubbs about noon and asked him if he would receive a committee of citizens who would inter- view him in their beHalf. President Stubbs courteously informed them that he would receive any committee of citizens that might see fit to call upon him. A committee selected by the suspended stu- dents, consisting of Dr. G. H. Thoma, G. F. Turrittin and 8. Summerfield, went to the university to confer with President Stubbs. The conference lasted for three hours, shortly after which the following bulletin was posted: “*All students below the senior grade are suspended until the morning of February 24, when they may return to their classes. Members of the senior class who partici- pated in the meeting are suspended in- definitely, but may after February 24 make written application to the president for reipstatement. Suspended students living within a reasonable distance are re- ?uh‘ed to go to their homes, those living Ar away may remain with friends, but cannot stay within five miles of Reno. No suspended student shall visit Reno dur- ing the period of suspension.” g The situation is openly discussed upon the streets, and much abuse is heaped upon the heads of the university faculty for their action. It is claimed that Presi dent Stubbs has exceeded his wer, as has also the Board of Health. The strin- gent rule which created all the dissension is_as follows: The dormitory boys were forbidden the privilege of Reno’s business streets, while the resident students were allowed to go almost where they pleased. At the same :ime all students were allowed to mingle cogether in the classrooms. The students rebelled against this rule and demanded equal rights with the resident students. This being denied them they broke the quarantine, and as a result were suspend- ed. AN Nevada is greatly agitated over the affair. - v By SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 16.—Boulder Creek yes- terday voted for incorporation. The-foMowing officers were elected: A. L. Anthony, Clerk; A. L.
