EVER in the history of coursing in America has California sent strong s0 St. Louis to compete in the American Waterloo. D ner of the John Grace challenge cup and the most consistent performer now in the heads the list of stars. Vic Noble, his trainer, claims he was suffering from the effects of a cold when he won | the cup and that he did not run up to his true form: He is expected to make an excellent showing in the Waterloo, as he is in good condition. He has traveled so many times between here and Sacra- ment, where D. Walsh, h! that the railway journey Gull his speed. With Sacramento Boy is George Mack. 3 Im’'s fast young dog Aeolus, He will meet no greyhound showing more specd than he possesses and with ordi- nary luck should run well into the money. All preparations had been made to send on New Home Boy from Los Angele: He went wrong in training, and, being no condition to undertake the long jour- ney, was withdrawn.

The weather conditions at St..Louis on the Sth and 9th will have much to do with the showing of the California dogs. If it be clear and pleasant they will be heard from. Secretary George MacE. Malcolm of the | California Coursing Committee will be present at the meeting. While in the East he will confer with the officials of the Olympic games at Chicago and of the St. Louys Exposition, both of which will be heldfin 1904. It is possible they will in- | clude gome rich events for greyhounds in their sports programme. John Grace of this city will judge the St. Louis meeting, while James Grace will handle the slips. They will leave on Mon- day and will return immediately after the meeting. Y The Stockton coursing park will open to-morrow for the season. Walter Trade will judge, while Wilhite will handle the slips. A thirty-two dogs stake will be run. First prize will be $40. There are | a number of promising young greyhounds owned near Stockton, which are being saved for the puppy cup. a stake decided annually in February. There will be but one day’s coursing at Union Park this week. The sport will commence to-mofrow morning upon the arrival of the 10:15 train. There are two stakes down for decision, a special and an open.

TENNIS GROWS IN POPULARITY WITH ATHLETES Many Tournaments Are to Be Decided on the Park Courts, HERE will be a class dombles ten- nis tournament for ladies on the park tennis courts this 'géterncon. The players will be divided into two classes and the winners of each will re- ceive silver challenge cups. The four trophies Have been donated by two tennis enthusiasts. They are to be won three times. The contestants in each of :he classes will meet on even terms, drawing for the first class r Zollow: Miss Anita Beyfuss and N Lindstrom vs. Mrs. S. /A. Watson and Miss Etta Langrehr; Miss Bertha Gard- ner and M Mabel Clarke vs. the Misses Maud and Eva Varney; Miss Grace Web- ster and Miss Mabel Webster, a bye. Miss Gardner and Miss Clarke and the v y sisters are the strongest teams in this class and unfortunately drew each other. This will probably be the best match of the tournament. The second class players drew as fol- ows Preliminary round—Miss Vera Beyfuss and Miss Cecll Emanuel vs. the Grifiin sisters; Mrs. R. N. Whitney and Miss Ella Cutler will be opposed to Mills and Rid . The park courts are proving immensely popular and will be even more so when the new bitumen courts are completed. ‘The Park Commissioners have subscribed $1000 and several of the earth courts will be changed to bitumen immediately. There are two tournaments to be fin- ished on the public courts to-day and to- morrow. This afternoon the mixed doubles event, which was started last Sunday, will be finished. The final match is set for 2:30 o'clock. The teams will be Miss Eva Varney and Harry Routh and Miss Lulu Wegener and menced last Saturday, but was unfinished. Miss Wegener and Allen won the first set, 7—5, and the score in'the second set stood 4—2 in favor of Miss Varney and Routh. By mutual agreement the match will probably be played over to-day. On Sunday the class singles tournament, commenced last Sunday, will be .com- pleted. The most important and interest- ing match of the day will be between Harry Routh and Will Allen of the first class. Ailen carried off the cup for this class in the last.series and Routh will fight hard to keep him from annexing the new one. Of the two Allen's chances seem to be much the better. The score now stands two sets 'to one in his favor. He has to, win but one set, while his op- ponent must win the two remaining sets. The score in Allen’s favor is 7-—5, 4—, 6—4. This match will be played at 2:30 o’clock. In the second class play was completed down to the semi-finals. At 9 o'clock Clarence Griffin and G. W.' Finch will meet. In the other half W. Ambrose will meet H. Hotchkiss at 10 a. m. Of the four Griffin is the only one who has his name on the cup. He has won it once, while G. Téuchard has two wins to his credit. The latter was beaten in one of the earlier rounds. In the finals of the third class, which will be played at 1 o clock, C. 8. Gayness will be opposed to A. McFarland. Here- tofore there have been but two classes, but owing to the .arge entry list it was found necessary in the present tourna- ment to form a third class.

A GOOD wind that will send the ducks flying is what the army of sports- men are eagerly awaiting. The | northern birds are coming in steadily, among them being Whe advance guard of the royal canvasbacks. San Pablo Bay is black with birds, but they will not allow any one approach within gunshot distance. Last Sunday the birds flew about in the fog, affording some good sport. As soon as the fog lifted the flight ceased. The opposite conditions prevailed at Collinsville, the birds remaining quiet during the fog and then getting in motion. Floyd 8. Judah was the king of the Empire Gun Club men last Sunday at their Monterey preserve. For several weeks the members have seen some can- vasbacks flying about, but were unable | to get within range of them: Mr. Judah finally got a pair of them within proper shooting _distance and brought them | down. The other members had quail, | snip&and some ducks, but they envied | the man with the “cans.” Many of these | birds were seen, and it is expected they | | will be secured in numoers from this time forth. Among the Empire Ciub sportsmen who will be on the marsh to- morrow will be J. B. Hauer, L. J. Aubert, L. H. Allen, F. L. Turpin, J. B. Surrhyne, Dr. George G. Gere, F. L. Houpt, F. A. Martin, H. 8.

Mr. Cutler has also joined | forces with the Empires. Billy Wattles and a friend secured the limit on ducks last Sunday at Collins- ville. Included in the bag were twenty canvasbacks. Otto Feudner killed twenty-five quail near Haywards last Sunday. Charles Cate shot at Mowry’s two days dvring the storm last week, bagging twenty-five ducks each day. W. Merzfelder and a friend secured two dozen rail last Sunday at Belmont. Ben Baum and Tom Watson shot at Schellville last Sunday, bagging fourteen quall and nine teal. ?

LTHOUGH winter is approaching rapidly, there is no abatement of activity among the oarsmen of San Francisco and Oakland. To-morrow, beginning at 9 -o'clock, the Dolphin Boating Club will hold the outrigged skiff races. which were postponed from October 19 on account of the Olympic Boat Club regatta at Belvedere. The following entries have been received for the senior race: T. Harris, W. A. Donovan, F. Seibel, J. Reimers and A. F. Schuppert. The president’s medal will be rowed for by F. J. Sherry, Frank Curry and L. D. Wienand. For the open- to-all handicap skiff race the following are the entries and haudicaps: George Baker, scratch; T. R. Keenan, seven lengths; W. O. Patch, eleven lengths; L. D. Weinand, twelve lengths; Frank Curry and C. M. Farrell, seventeenth lengths; T. Harris, ‘twenty lengths. The course will be about one mile. After the races the Dolphins will row around to the South End Rowing Club house and will at- tend the high jinks to be given there. The officials in charge of the skiff races are: T. J. Kennedy, starter; Al W. Pape, referee; J. S. Earls, timer; Val Kehrlein and W. L. Bush, judges. Herbert Hauser, on behalf of the Stock- ton Athletic Association. has sent a chal- lenge to the “junfor barge crew of the South End Rowing Club to a race to be rowed at Stockton, the Stockton Associa- tion to offer a trophy. George E. Eckhardt of the Stockton Athletic Association has also written to a member of the Olympic Club thanking the cfficlals for the Kindness shown them on regatta day and expressing a willing- ness to meet any crews that may wish to visit Stockton. The Stockton junior crew is made up of heavy, strong men, but they have not had enough practice and coaching to enable them to sit their boat and, pull together. The Alameda oarsmen have acquired a handsome new pleasure barge and have ordered another from Al Rogers. The Olympic Boat Club will hold out> rigged skiff races at Belvedere at an early date, if a sufficient number of en- trics can be obtained. The South End Rowing Club will hoid its usual ante-election high jinks in its boathouse at the foot of Third street to- morrow afternoon. The club has hopes of acquiring a suitable location for a new boathouse at an early date, and, as scon as it does so, will begin work on the foundations of a much larger and more commodious boathouse than the present one. Arrangements may be made where- by the South End, Arlel and Pioneer Rowing clubs may acquire adjoining sites and may contribute to the cost of mak- ing the approaches and maintaining a boatkeeper, - J. E. Roadhouse, president of the Uni- versity of California Boating Association, spent last Saturday and Sunday at Palo Alto, making a careful examination of the facilities available for rowing men at Stanford University and endeavoring to enlist the eo-operation. of the students, President A. W.. Smith, a Cornell. oars- man, and Chester Narramore, vice presi- dent of the Stanford Student Assoclation, promised to do their best to inspire Stan. ford undergraduates with an enthusiasm for rowing and to promote contests be- tween representatives of the two univer- sitles. The president of the University of California Boating Association promised to lend a barge or two to the Stanford men.that they may get some practice and begin to take an interest in rowing. The most conveilent spot for aboathouse is near the property now fased by the Town and Gown Hunting Club. It'is on the shore of the bay and about four miles from the university, to which a recently constructed road leade. There is a large slough at this spot and it would require only 4 little dredging to render it avail- able for rowing. The oarsnien of the Uni- versity of California travel seven miles from Berkeley to their boathouse on Ses- sions Basin, East Oakiand. { Last Saturday ther: was to have been a friendly. barge race between crews of the Alameda Boating Club and the Uni- versity - of California. It dla not take place because the barge of the Columbia Rowing Club, which was to have been | used by one of the crews. was not in or- der. The university four pulled against Henry Peterson in his sheli and showed congiderable improvement in their work, though the crack sculler and coach: beat them. The university crew was made, up of W. 'B. Dandy, bow; G. Anloft, No. 2: E. Grindley, No. 3, and E. B. Harley, stroke. -1 some iMProx.ptu’ trials s ar OLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAMS READY FOR LAST PRACTICE GAMES Stanford-Reliance Match ERKELEY, Oct 31.—The present B clear weather has proved a blessing to the University of California foot- ball squad, which was floundering about in the depths of the usual mid-sea- son slump last week. Men were laid off or played while ill and a general lack of spirit characterized the work of both the first and the second elevens. .With the return of the bright days the spirit of the whole squad has risen re- markably. That crisp, snappy-style of going through the signals which always begins to show itself when the big game is only a short time away has begun to characterize the work of the varsity squad. 4 2 It is the opinion of Trainer Walter Christy that the individual members of the team are one and all in almost the pink of condition. Care will be taken to prevent any staleness Ataking from the physical perfection which the team now enjoys. As a precautionary measure the Varsity will be treated to a champagne dinner about the middle of next week as a .relaxatlon from the rigorous training diet. ‘The game with Nevada to-morrow will e the last hard contest the varsity will indulge in before the struggle with the | cardiral on the following Saturday. It is the opinion of all that the game with the sage brush team will give practically the cnly line on the relative strength of Berkeley and of Stanford. Besides the value of the comparison of | the showing fade by the blue and gold | and the cardinal against the Nevada team, according to Assistant Coach Wom- ble, who witnessed Stanford’s game with the Reno team last Saturday, Callfornia will have a foretaste of the cardinal’s style of play. Both teams play almost identical ball, except that Stanford plays harder. Saturday’s game should be of great value to the California men in pre- raring them for the big game. Captain “Ox” Albertson announced to- ’day for the first time the definite line-up for the big game. The men playing the positions, with their weights, are as fol- lows: Demerrit, left end, 149; Albertson, left tackle, 168; Stow, left guard, 185; Stroud, center, 194; Overall, right guard, 194; ”ieitmuller, right tackle, 174; Hudson, right end, 155; More, quarter, L Miri. left half, 150; Smitlt, right half, 165; | 1le, fullback, 17. “This line-up is made on the presuriiption that Smith will be allowed to play by the arbitration committee. In case he is fin- ally ruled off, Sherman will be put in at Whip- SANTA CRUZ CRICKETERS AVERAGES ARE COMPILED The Team From the Seaside Competes in But Three Pennant Matches During the Season.

TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 30.— S To-mcrrow the Stanford varsity football team will play its last pre- liminary game before the final champion- ship contest with California on November 8. The public will be afforded an oppor- tunity of seeing the Stanfgrd team lined up approximately the same as it will be when it meets the Blue and Gold eleven. A good estimate may be made also of the strength of the Cardinal! team from its showing against the Reliance players to- morrow. The clubmen should put up the hardest game they have played this sea- son. While Reliance nas been defeated by large scores in the previous games it 1s ot expected that the difference be- tween the team strength in the contest to-morrow will be so marked. Last night's practice was not so satis- factory as that of Wednesday. The men did not get into the plays sp fast and seemed to fall back into their old habit of fumbling. This defect in the team’s play- ing is the most disappointing feature of the practices from the coaches’ stand- point. / Captain Lee has beer trying goal kick- ing and is proving himself the best man on the team in that feature of the game. If Freshman Magee is not in shape for the big game the punting p#®bably will fall to big McFaddin or Fullback McGil- vray. The latter, whild not a sure kicker, generally is good for a fair distance im punting. The varsity lined up for only a few minutes to-night, owing to the hard fight that will be expected of them to-morrow. The physical condition of the players con- tinues good, although some of the men are inclined to be somewhat listless. @ il @ tzke the vacant right half. For the guards' positions Stroud is be- ing coached as a substitute. Should Over- 1l or Stow be put out of the game Stroud !l be moved from center and Phillips 1 take his place. For the tackles’ sub- stitute Howard and Hoxey are slated and for ends Burke and Oliver. In diseussing the condition of the team and the style of play which will be used against Stanford Albertson sald to-day: “Ours is a heavier team than that which we put into the field last year, but all of the men are quick and light on their feet and play as nearly as a unit ag those of any team eyer did. “Our style of play against Stanford will be open with plenty of kicking. We will play straight, hard football. If we win against Stanford it will not be by any his place. If Sherman should have to|fancy trick plays, but by open, straight take More's place at quarter White will | playing.” s @ il e s Fe GOLF OFFICIALS PLAN MANY COMPETITIONS Presidio Links Will Resound With the Warning Cry of “Fore” on All the Holidays.
