The California varsity ran up tal of 51 to 0 against the sail- ors last urday. 2 ————— Helbing Again Arrested. Louis Helbing was arrested yesterday on & warrant charging him with grand Jarceny. The complaining witness is H. E. Fleming, 173 Hayes street. Fleming slieges that he and Helbing were part- ners in a tin shop on Clayton street and Helbing held a pe2per from Fleming that be owned the property in pledge for the amount due him. Helbing assigned his right to the property to his son and the matter was taken into court. Thomas C. Wilson was appointed recelver by the court and it Is alleged that Helbing on October 7 stole a aouble cornice brake machine and a pair of squaring shears, of the aggregate value of $165. Some days ago Helbing was arrested on complaint of Fleming for stealing lead pipe, but Judge Cabaniss dismissed the case. e il The Southern States have 27,00 saloons, while New York has 34,000, freshman | entire eleven players make a | This results from the fact | are | Oct. 9.—Coach le feels hurt at the way the srnia varsity football men ar rd the game this year.

The 51-0 game | against the Naval School last Saturday did not do the varsity any good, as it was too easy, but to-day will make up for it. The line-up will probably be as fol- lows | Stow, center; | SBtow, left guarad; Overall, right guard; Heftmuller, right tackle; | Howard, left tackle; Hudson, right end; Demeritt, left end; Graves, Muther, Ris- |ley, Snedigar or Whipple, halfbacks; Geary, quarter; Boynton or More, full- ack. The freshman team did exceptionally well in the only game it played this week, st Santa Clara. The latter sent a | ag team to Berkeley as fully equipped with | heavy men, brains and good coaching as the freshmen, but could make no perma- nent gains. The freshmen held them on the line and when they settled down to business in the second half mowed that red and white line down as easily as hay. If the freshmen hadn’t been weakened by the withdrawal of all their best men in the second half Santa Clara would not | have threatened the way she did toward the end. Kerns does most of the ground gaining for the freshmen and If there were one { or two more backs like him there would be no doubt about the intercollegiate game. Kerns always hits the line hard and the best of it is he knows just where | to hit it. McGinness has developed into a good fighting end for the short time he has been in the game and is likely to make the team. Gabriel is doing the right thing as fullback and will be given a place. The coaches are trying so many men for the other places and their talents as =o diversified that there is no telling which will be chosen. From the way things are going in the freshman team just now it seems Stanford is gomng to e th= hardest kind -of a time to win. | e Mueller to Captain Reliance. | The Reliance team, which will line up against Berkeley on the University of California campus this afternoon at 2:30, will show some changes in its formation. Dave Atkinson has resigned the cap- taincy of the team and has been succeed- ed by George Mueller, the left halfback. Booth, who played fullback on the Colum- bia Colicge second eleven, will take At- kinson’s place at fullback. Martin has | been injured and Goschen will not be able to play to-day on account of business. Magee will play left tackle and Wittmer end. i rpeirep—— Say They Stole Ship’s Compass. Alexander Hagan and John Moriarity were booked at the City Prison yesterday on a charge of burglary. They were ar- rested by Corporal Egan and Policemen Gibbons nnd Esola. They are accused of stealing a ship’s compass from the schooner General Banning.

Mr. Oelrichs is the most prodigal of the duck shooters.

The far-famed Stewart pond, near Sui- sun, which has afforded sensational sport in years past, has been leased by a num- ber of enthusiastic sportsmen for this sea- son. The men include M. O. Feudner, Edward Donohoe, C, Bruce Bonney. The preserve covers an area of 600 acres, although the shooting is confined to about 200 acres. This includes a splendid snipe patch. The Pringle pond, which is also famed for the shooting it affords, will be shot over again by L. D. Owens, E. F. Preston, Frank Maskey, Andrew Buckley and John W. Bourdette.

The entry list Is the largest ever heard of on the coast. It is doubtful if there has ever been a tournament held in this country that has attracted a larger number of players. It has been a difficult matter for the tournament committee to arrange the handicaps, as the number is so large and many of the players are unknown and consequently hard to handicap. The largest odds allowed are *30,” and the most heavily handicapped players will be placed * back of scratch. Four players will compete from this mark. They are J. D. MacGavin, R. N. Whitney, Will Allen and Grant Smith. It is doubt- ful if either MacGavin or Smith will play. | Many are of the opinion that Allen has been too heavily handicapped and should be on the “owe §-6” mark, with George Baker, Clarence Griffin, Charles Dunlap and Harry Routh are *2-6" back of scratch. Nell Baker playing from scratch undoubtedly has an excellent chance of ‘winning. The California Club is in a more pros- perous condition than ever before. Mem- bers are coming in rapidly and the limit —200—has almost been reached. Many im. provements will be made, both on the courts and on the buildings. It is the in- tention of the directors to hold many tournaments during the winter. A tour- nament committee of active players has been appointed, and it is probable there will be two tournaments a month. An effort will be made to induce the park players to hold their tournaments so as not to conflict with those of the club. —_————— Russia takes nearly half the agricultur- al machinery that the United States ex- ports, - 1903 was completed by the match played last Sunday on the Alameda grounds be- tween the Pacific and San Francisco County clubs, the cricketers are loth to abandon their favorite game. A match will be played to-morrow on the grounds at Webster street, Alameda, between the San Francisco County eleven and a team drawn from the Alameda and Pacific clubs and playing under the name | of the California Cricket Association, The San Francisco County team will be made up from Harold B. Richardson, captain; E. G. Sloman, P. R. Johns, E. H. Wilkes, T. J. A. Tiedemann, H. Roberts, H. Dixon, B, Kortlang, E. J. Stratton, E. Petersen, J. Stewart, T. Smith and T. J. A. Tiedemann Jr. The California Cricket Association team will be made up as follows: Harold ‘Ward, F. J. Croll, F. Stahl, W. J. Rich- ter, Dr, O. N. Taylor, A. W. Wilding, W. Petherick, D. Jamieson, E. il. Lannowe, F. Bennion and H. D. Bowly, H. N. Storrs or C. C. Y. Williamson. The pennant emblematic of the cricket championship of 1903 has been won by the San Francisco County Club, which s clearly the strongest eleven in the State. It is even doubtful whether an eleven made up from all the rest of California could make much headway against this formidable team. B. Kortlang, the Australian, expects to leave for New York before the end of the year and to play with one of the teams in the Eastern States for two years. After that he proposes to visit England and then to return to his native Australia. ‘With the possible exception of “Billy” Robertson, also an Australlan, of the old Bohemian Cricket Club, B.

Big ponds are being made from two wells at Quigly's salt works, near Alva- rado, which are expected to provide great shooting. The members of the Empire Gun Club anticipate a splendid season on their big preserve in Monterey County. Since last | year they have placed elghteen acres un- | der fresh water and have balted the ponds.

Two rounds of the Scottish bowling tournament, which has been In progress for nearly two months on the Golden Gate Park green, have been completed. The third round will commence to-day, and probably half of the eight matches will be played. There are but two days al- lowed in which to finish this round. The fourth round will commence on the 1Sth inst. and will close on the 3lst. From now on the matches should all be close, as the poorer players have been weeded out and the remainder are in most cases evenly matched. Thomas McNaught in the upper half and John McLaren in the lower half are considered the strong- est players. Barring accident one of these men should carry off first honors. The final match is set for November 14. The players who are still in the tournament will oppose each other as follows: James Gray vs. Alexander Craig, Thomas Mc- Naught v zlel, Joseph Gray vs. Dr. Hamilton; J. McLachlan vs. Hugh Barr, J. C. Moftat vs. M. L. Crowe, Hugh Forgie vs. J. . Jobn McLaren vs. James S. M. Earsman, e Webster, Wallace A. Cook vs. William R. Ea- ton. Three of the matches are. expected to prove exceptionally cloge. Dr. Hamilton has improved so rapidly of late and shown such skill in both his matches (’h‘% he is considered to have an excellent chance against Gray. Moffat and Crowe are two other players of almost equal skill. It would be a difficult matter to pick the winner of the Cook-Eaton match. Craig, McNaught, Barr, Forgie and Me- Laren are expected to win their matches. The players are becoming so numerous at the park that the green on Saturday afternoon is not nearly able to accommo- date all of them. It is necessary to take turns, and most of the practice matches are in doublés, and in some cases it has become neécessary to have six players on each rink.

Next Saturday the | Tiburon sailors will cruise to Corinthian | Cove, where the annual baseball game will take place. The Californias will cruise to McNears next Saturday and the San Francisco Yacht Club will also ren- | dezvous there. Only three boats took part in the cruise of the California Yacht Club outside the | Heads last Sunday. These were Commo- dore George M. Shaw's yawl ldler, Robert Vincent's yawl Iola and H. Forrest's yawl Nereid. A good southerly breeze carried the vachts down Oakland Creek and when Goat Island was reached the wind hauled to the southwest and the ebb tide helped the craft on their way | through the shipping lying at anchor off | San Francisco toward Lime Point and thence out of the Golden Gate. On reach- ing the Heads a fog enveloped the yachts so that they lost sight of each other and of the land.

On Sunday, the 18th inst., the Ala- meda Boating Club will hold races on | Oakland Creek, beginning at 10:3 a. m., | fo- its members In barges and outrigged | skiffs. The object of the club regatta is to revive the interest in rowing, which has | been slack during the prasent season, es- pecially since the Independence day re- | gatta on Lake Merritt, when nearly all | the first prizes fell to the sturdy oarsmen of San Antonio estuary. W. B. Hinchman, president of the Pa- cific Association of the Amateur Athletic Union, has appointed E. J. Lynch, the well-known oarsman, commissioner on rowing for the coming year. The duties of the commissioner are to keep himseif informed on rowing matters and to make suggestions that may tend to promote the sport and to increase the interest feit in it by athletes and the public. This the new racing commissioner Is well fitted to do, as he has a large acquamtance with people other than oarsmen and has him- self long been a well known member of the Ariel Rowing Club. Early in the week the members of the Ariel Rowing Club held a meeting, at which the committee charged with the construction of the new boathouse report. ed. The design and cost of the proposed quarters are satisfactory and it is prob- able that work will be begun before the end of this month. e e e e e ) small space was set aside, it was not expected that it would Increase sp rapidly in popularity.

The first meeting was held Floral, Kgus., on September 2. The open stake was won by Sylvian's Secret, which de- feated Kid McCoy, a veteran greyhound well known on this coast, in the itng course. The next meeting will be a three days affair at Friend, Nebr., commencing on the 13th inst. This will be followed b e Mississippi V y Futurity at Kearney, Nebr. It is expected there will be 18 starters. These will inciude the pick of the coursers of the Middl> West. Califor- nia ‘will be represented by the Rocker- Fiery Face litter, owned by James Swee- ney. The best of these are Rocker Arm and Raby Aurora. After this meeting the scene will shift to Oklahoma City, where the Ame Waterloo will be decided on October November 1 2 and 3. A number of Call- fornia dogs will start for this sta James Sweeney has taken on some eligi- bles, as has B. F. Jackson. The latter has Lord Brazen and Laughing W: - and lately added to his string six of A. R. Curtis' hounds. These are Rector, Hea- con, Sea Lion, Flaunt, Cluster and Golden | Light, The reputed price pald for them is $2000. P. J. Reilly of this city will judgs all the meetings on the circuit. At the close of the Waterloo meeting | a number of prominent Eastern kennels will send their best representatives to | this coast. This should enliven the sport here during the winter months. Willlam Greichen of Fresno bought Royal Archer and started him last Sun~ day. His first essay was not a success, as he was beaten by Lord Derby, a 5 to 1 chance, The young coursers will have an oppor- tunity to display their talents to-morrow at Union Coursing Park. Twenty-two pupples are entered in the “baby™ event. Some are up country greyhounds and a new wonder may develop. The running will commence upon the arrival of the 10:15 train.

Judge Cook yesterday handed down his decision on the contempt proceedings against Chief of Police Wittman and Rev. Terence Caraher for violating the interlocutory injunction issued by the Judge in connection with the premises at 1129 Dupont street occupied by Jean Pon. The accused were purged of contempt The Judge sald that Chief Wittman had averred that the District Attorney had advised him that the injunction did not cover all the premises at 1129 Dupont street, otherwise he would not have vio- lated it. The Judge was satisfied that the mistake of the Chief had been honest- Iy made. It had been shown that no service had been made upon Rev. Father Caraher and therefore he could not be rightfully ae- lcused of contempt
