It is | their intention to show what an exciting ! game indoor baseball is. It is the first time this game has been played where the public could view it and the fans are vlanning to attend. One of the star ath- irtes who will compete is Harry Irwin, iue Olympic Club's crack vaulter, who, on May 2 last, tied Dole's coast record. Irwin will endeavor to break the world's irdoor record, held by Djvorak, the Mich- igan athlete. All the existing coast indoor records are expected to go.

T0 LIMIT SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES Reckless Racing in Gold- en Gate Park Is Reported. —_— The Park Commissioners met yester- day afterncon at the office of A. B. Spreckels, president of the board. The commissioners heard a delegation from the Carrfage Owners' and Stablemen's Association regarding the running of au- tomobiles in the park. E. R. Pease, the spokesman, represented to the board that automobiles were run at reckless speed in the park. He sald that reports were in circulation to the effect that the auto- mobile men were shortly to have full sway on every drive of tne park. He asked that protection be accorded to the horse and carriage people on the main drive. A general discussion of the sub- Ject followed. Questions were asked by Commissioners Frank J. Sullivan, M. Jasper McDonald, A. Altman and Presi- dent Spreckels. Replying to Mr. McDon- ald, Mr. Pease sald the horses were be- coming accustomed to the automobiles. The greatest fright was caused by the exhaust and the plunging speed of the machines. Mention was incidentally made of Feck- less racing at night by “auto” dffvers on Van Ness avenue and Market street, where policemen were on duty. On the park drives whbere the police protection is slight the automobilists dash along at any speed that suits the drivers, Mr. Pease read a letter from William Alvord to William BEriggs, wherein Mr. Alvord authorizes the sale of his horses and rigs for the reason that the autos have driven him from the roads that he had been driving on for the last forty years. ‘The proposition to allow “autcs” priv- ileges cn one side of the Ocean boulevard and the right of way on Forty-seventh avenue to reach the Clift House came up for further consideration. The commis: sioners practically agreed to extend the privilege, with certain reservations limit. ing the space and speed on the main high- way. Superintendent McLaren submitted his monthly report, reviewing the work un- der way in Golden Gate Park and the overations at the varlous squares. Men and teams are employed in grading waiks around the new lakes. The two new tennis courts are very nearly completed. The number of men on the roll of em- ployes is 264. Receipts of the children’s playground for the month of September amounted to $277. The expenses amountad to $1855, leaving a profit of $822. Receipts at the Japanese garden for the same period footed up $427. The cost of malntenance ‘was $346, leaving a profit of $§1. The balance to the credit of the park fund on Qctober 1 was $226335 2{. Dis- bursements during the month of Septem- ber were: For labor, $17.144 15: material, $11,435 2. Bids for a duplicate pump at the windmill were received and referred to the superintendent and engineer for a report thereon. The bldders were George Dow, the Stillman, Plerce & Smith Com- pany and the Harron-Rickard-McCone Company. The subject of boring an artesian well to Increase the water supply was again Chinese teas, 31,000,000 of Japsnese and | discussed. Superintendent McLaren re- about 400,000 of Indian. ported that he had seen the man with 'PITCHER IBERG SHUTS OUT THE ANGEL TOSSERS L San Francisco Twirler Is in Great Form and Sur- prises the Southern Men Small Attendance Witnesses an Interesting Game at the Recreation Ball Park —_— HE home ball tossers slipped the I double cross to the Angels so quickly yesterday afternoon, at Recreation Park, that half the twenty- five people in the lot became so amazed that they went home. Anyhow, it was a swell game of ball, and the magnificent pitching of Ham Iberg kept the Angels at a distance from the rubber. They never had a chance to get beyond the third cushion. Score 3 to 0. “Dolly” Gray was there a few himself, but his work did not come up to the standard of Ham's in any particulal Time and time again did the giants from the south make desperate efforts to squeeze a run over the plate, but they always falled at the last minute. The home tossers opened up in the third inning. With two out, Ham drove a single over second. He stole and Shay walked. A rap by Meany to the center garden brought Iberg over the jump: He would have been stopped at the plate, only Eagar dropped the ball. Twice more did they land in the sixth. Meany hit and stole and Leahy sent him to third with one that went to slow for the infielders to handle. Pabst chased Meany to the front with a drive to the outfield and an out put Leahy over with the last one. The score: San Francisco | Los Angeles— AB.R.H. P.A.| . R. H.

There were two fist fights, many dis- putes and a game of puss-in-the-corner out at the Presidio Athletic grounds yes- terday afterncon between twenty-two young men representing the Lowell and Polytechnic High Schools. At the end they said Polytechnic de- feated Lowell in a football game by the score of 23 to 0. Those spectators who could see above the hundred odd heads which crowded the field had not followed the score—it piled up to rapidly. The Polytechnic team simply walked away with the Lowell youths, circling their ends for twenty yards at leisure and ploughing through a scattered field at will, So weak was the Lowell aggre- gation that the real strength of their op- ponents could not be developed. To say the best for Lowell, their strength was materially decreased by the absence of Hamilton, their crack player, who is eschewing the gridiron for the cinder- path. The lineup was as follows: Polytechnic. Positions. Lowell Ashley . Riorda Bennificld. Skavlan. McKenzle. Saunders. Goerl Martin-Ayres...... Kloppenberg and Toy Low.. z Referee—Dud New. Umpire—Bob Varney. —_—— CARPENTERS OUTPULL THE HEAVY TEAMSTERS Excellent Frognmm- Is Arranged for Last Night of Tug-of-War Tournament. The teamsters, who in the first part of the tug-of>war tournament that is being held at Central Park were looked upon as invincible, met with defeat again last night. On the previous evening the long- shore lumbermen dragged them over the winning mark after a hard struggle of more than twenty-two minutes. The up- set seemed to dishearten the drivers, and in going against the well trained carpen- ters suffered a defeat in short order. The contest lasted four minutes and forty-nine seconds. During the better part of the time there was little headway made, but suddenly the carpenters gained a cleat and kept their winning streak un- til they gained the decislon. To add to the defeat of the teamsters, the carpen- ters kept them from gaining a single cleat during the trial—a new experfence for the one-time heavily backed aspirants for top honors. The bridge workers outpulled the plumb- ers in nine minutes, and the longshore lumbermen won from the carmen in 4:30. The tournament ends to-night. Follow- ing is the programme as arranged: Horse- shoers vs. cement workers, teamsters vs. plasterers, plumbers vs. bricklayers, car- men vs. bridgeworkers, carpenters vs. lumbermen. The last named teams have won every trial that they have partici- pated in, and a grand contest s looked for between them. —————— Smathers Adds to His Strin, LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 9.—Just before the second heat in the Transsylvania race to-day, E.

J. and Mrs. Casey won the trophy, with a score of 64 less 17, net 47. Mrs. R. G. Brown and G. M. Pinck- ard played from scratch and returned the best gross score, 53. On the same day the tle between R. J. Davis and R. G. Brown for the best gross score made in the qualifying round for the recent competition for the council's cup was decided, the former making a score of 100 and the latter one of 102. In the first attempt made to play off the tie, both having returned scores pof ¥, a sec- ond tie resulted. The match between Douglas Hardy and M. J. Casey in the final round of the competition for the second eight trophy has not yet been played on account of the absence of the former from the city. Although the summer visitors to San Rafael have returned to their homes and the golf course 18 comparatively deserted, the residents will continue to play throughout the winter. At present the course is hard from lack of moisture, but the first rain will put it into good con- dition for play. The golfers of San Francisco are awak- ening after their summer idleness and are practicing on the Presidio course. The Early Morning tournament, consisting of five rounds of nine holes, to be played be- fore 9 o'clock in the morning, ends to- day. It is a handicap competition against “bogey.” The competitors and their handicaps are as follows: L. B. Edwards, 7; R. 1. Bentley, 4; L. F. Monteagle, 7: Mrs. E. 8. Mijller, 8; W. J. Dutton, 7; Miss Edith Chesebrough, 7; R. G. Hanford, 5; E. N. Bee, 7, and Reginald White, 8. James Braid, the famous British pro- fessional; J. A. T. Bramston and Horace Hutchinson, amateurs, are the chief con- tributors to the last new book on golf, which contains much valuable matter. Eoth Braid and J. A. T. Bramston draw gpecial attention to the important work of the wrists in long driving. Brald gives advice as to how to give an Intentional slice or pull to a ball, but this advice is only useful to excellent goifers. J. A. T. Bramston points out that the palms of the hands must not be permitted to do the work that should be done by the fingers in gripping the shaft, since this deprives the wrists of the essential freedom of ac- tion. ———— KORTLANG IS FIRST AMONG THE CRICKETERS Leads All Batsmen in Competition for the Brown Trophies With Richardson Second. ‘With the close of the pennant season of cricket matches averages are being com- piled.

Brown, Nineteenth Infantry, estab- lished a new record for Western army posts at the post range yesterday and secured the title “Expert marksman,” the highest rank a rifieman can obtain in the infantry. Brown made 93 points out of a possible 100 on skirmish fire. This has seldom been equaled, as skirmish fire is done under all the difficulties that army ingenuity can devise. Anything above 75 is regarded good. Brown is the youth who astonished the veterans by winning the department sil- ver medal in the shoot last summer and by standing fifth on the army team in the national competition at Fort Sheri- dan.

JIM FOX WINS FIERCE FIGHT FROM JOHNSON Butcher Boy Takes a Hard Beating, but Stays Wiih His Man Till the Finish —— it Elkins and Badger Put Up Slow Battle and Former Finally Scores a Knockout =R AR 508 T IM FOX was the chief dispenser of J punches in the main event of the Lin- coln Athletic Club’s show last night in Mechanics’ Pavilion annex. For four rounds he hammered big Bill Johnson, the butcher lad, tiil the latter's face was a dream to look upon. The remainder of the programme, with the exception of one or two mixups, was full of action and pleased the large attendance. Johnson started off weil in the initial round, but he soon lost his lead. Fox began to use a straight left to the face in the second. This stopped the butcher from doing any more damage for awhile. He soon began to grow desperate and would invarfably rush his opponent, land- ing a punch when he could and taking ten jabs for the privilegs Fox had many opportunities to put his man away for the count, but he did not seem to know about any punch but the straight left. Many times he could have ended the fight with a good swing when Johnson was wobbly, but he never came through at the right time. Johnson came in at the opening of the fourth round with the evident intention of stopping his man. For the full three min- utes the pair exchanged rights and lefts to every part of the head and body. Both were weak and neither had a good blow left. The judges awarded the palm of victory to Fox. Al Elkins and Wesley Badger furnighed the other headline attraction on the card and it was a poor one indeed. Elkins lacked his usual steam and his oppoment did not know enough about the game to beat a schoolboy. Finally Elkins took a brace and finished his man with a ter- rific right on the jaw in the last round. Joe Podesta made Jack Moriarity quit in the third round of their meeting. The fight looked ltke a fake from the first round on and the spectators hissed loudly. Harry Fallen was given an unjust decis- fon over George Murdock In a weird sort of a battle, in which both men rolled and tumbled about the arena. Willlam Friel got the decision over George Robinson, | and Jack O'Brien outpointed Jim Daly. —_———— YOUNG ATHLETES ENTERED IN AUTUMN FIELD DAY Semi-Annual Xnting of the Aca- demic League Attracts Many High-Class Performers.
