INTEREST IN GAME IS GREAT. The gridiron experts of the country are taking marked interest in the game. It is the only opportunity afforded by | this schedules for comparing Fastern with Western football. Since the teams of California have adopted the graduate system of coaching, som= difference in the styie of play of Atlan- tic and Pacific elevens has appeared. The Western men are not acquainted with many of the new tricks, but pay e attention to straight football. Something has been lost peed by the teams of this coast. The Indians have played against the strong- est teams in the East and a compari- | son of scores after to-day’s game wil #e productive of much interesting data. The Reliance eleven is probably not the strongest aggregation that could be selected from this year's teams, but 1 is largely representative of California football nevertheless.

At any rate it will be a first-class game of football and full of sensational plays. Nelther team can walk away with the other.

The Indians will witness the perform- ance of “Foxy Gradpa” to-night at the | California Theater, twenty-two seats | having been secured for the Carlisle men. —_———— Bowling in Golden Gate Park. The Christmas interclub mateh be-| tween the San Francisco and the Oak- | land Scottish bowlers has been de- clared off for several reasons. The incipal reason is the fact that the green across the bay is not in good condition. The failure of the Oakland club to send a formal written chal- lenge in place of a verbal one is an- er reason for calling off the match. The large singles event. with ninety- four entries, will be commenced to- day. It will continue several months. Play will be resumed to-morrow af- lernoon. —— Jack O'Brien Defeats Jeffords. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24.—Jack O’Brien of Philadelphia had the bet- ter of a six-round bout with Jim Jef- fords to-night at the Broadway Ath- letic Club.

After his afternoon's work in the | gymnasium the Denver boxer stepped on the scales and the beam balanced at the 1323%-pound mark. This is less than Corbett weighed on the morning | of nis last engagement with Hanlon. He must weigh 129 pounds at 6 o'clock | | next Tuesday at Harry Corbett’s. ' “I can sit down now and dry out to | the required weight,” =aid Corbett | after he stepped off the scales. “Han- | lon had one look in for the champion | ship, but he need not expect another.’ | Corbett practically completed his | rmnmg vesterday. In the morning he | walked to Stow Lake and enjoyed a | I)rfo spell with the oars and then took | | @ dip in the ocean. In the afternoon he went three fast rounds with Monte Attel. It was give and take through- out and some hard blows were deliv- lerad. On the previous day Corbett sparred with Monte and the latter was | unable to eat his dinner, his teeth were | S0 sore from contact with the feather- | weight's gloves.

It is evident he will be a* | | his best this time. He has always been | a famous “repeater,” his second fight | with any man being better than his first. . Corbett and Hanlon will do no more hard boxing, as they do not want to risk their hands. Both count on enjoy- | ing big dinners to-day, which will mean some extra road work to-morrow to get back to the weight they show | | this morning. The betting has opened with Young| Corbett an 8 to 10 cholce. It will de- pend on the volume of money offered on the rival boxers as to how these odds will fluctuate. There has been but little | betting up to the present time. The referee question will be taken up | | to-morrow. Corbett says Eddie Gra- ney was good enough for Jeffries, Fitz- | simmons, Jim Corbett and other fight- | | | ers and he can see no objection to him acting on this occasion. Hanlon has been non-committal in the matter, and what stand he will take is problem- atical. Harry Pollock, Corbett’s manager, | left Chicago last night and is due here { on Sunday night. —_—————————— ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL | MEN IN THREE MATCHES Thistles Will Play Independents on Presidio Athletic Grounds for a Christmas Dinner.

The House representatives passed it n the face of a strong lobby by a vote It was there placed in an envelope with two other bills and for- e of t warded by a page in due course to the 4 Senate. It pever reached its destina- tidn. Somewhere between the desk of the Speaker of the House and that of the President of the Senate, the gam- blers’ lobby waylaid the envelope, ab- stracted the bill and substituted .a dummy properly folded and bearing a similar indorsement. It was on the eve of adjournment and a special train was waiting to take the legislators home. When the Presi- dent of the Senate opened the envelope, the gambling bill on which he was'ex- pected to do some maneuvering was blank. He adjourned the Senate for fif- teen minutes in order that a quiet in- vestigation might be made by those but a search by all the matter proved fruitless. It was almost midnight. Those legislators who are not eager began to drop down to the special train. Presently there was no quorum present and the session came to an end. WILLIAM HAML FATALLY INJURED BY BERKELEY TRAIN OAKLAND, Dec. 24. — William Hamlyn, a tent and awning maker, residing at Seventh street, lost both of his legs at the Sixteenth-street station late to-night and will die. He was run over by a Berkeley local ‘train. Hamlyn was asleep in the railroad station a greater part of the evening and at a late hour was driven out by the watchman and told to go home. The awning maker had been indulg- ing in too much Christmas celebration and when he attempted to board a passing Berkeley train slipped and fell beneath the wheels, both his legs being severed from his body. The unfortunate man was quickly conveyed to the Receiving Hospital, where the surgeons pronounced his a hopeless se. The injured man was 47 years age. He has a wife. Accuses Son-in-Law. OAKLAND, Dec. 24.—Mrs. Caroline i Cook, an aged woman living at 1378 Ninth street, was taken to the deten- tion ward of the Receiving Hospital this afternoon to be examined as to her sanity. She says her son-in-law, L. H. Bell, and his wife are trying to ®et her out of the way in order that they may get her property. Bell says she threatened his wife’s life and his making the complaint is a matter of | precaution, - INAUGURAL WON BY THE F0G W. B. Sink’s Representative Leads From Start to Finish in Big Event at Ascot Park —_— FAVORITE NEVER IN IT Ocean Dream the Winner of | the First Race the Only Public Choice to Register S | LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24.—Ascot Park race course was thrown open to the !public td-day and the initial event was an unqualified success. About 3500 people saw a splendid programme of six races, all of whicn were inter- esting and two of which furnished nose finishes. The feature of the card was the Mount Lowe handicap, “worth $1460 to | the winner. It was over a six- furiong | course. There were ten starters and Golden Rule opened and closed favor- | ite. Princess Titania was second choice at 2% to 1, and W. B, Sink’s entry, The ! Fog and F. E. Shaw, was wall liked at 3to 1. Sink's s horses were shipped from fsan Francisco last night and arrived | in Los Angeles at 10 o’clock this morn- ing. \otw(thstandmg the all-night ride the horses warmed up well this morning and were heavily backed by their owner. There was never g doubt about the winner. * The Fog went to the front at once and finished three and a half lengths ahead of Lester Ruiff's Best Man, which wa& a length front of Rag Tag. The time, 1:1414 a cred- itable performance, considcring the newness of the track. Golden Rule was weighted down with 13% pounds and was never prominent in the run- ning. Eleven books cut in and did a rush- ing business. One favoritc, Ocean Dream, which won the first race, was the best the public could do in picking winners. San Lution and Strife, win- ners of the second and third races re- spectively, were as good as 2 te 1, and both closed at 15, The closest finish of the day was in the fifth race, at a mile and a sixteenth, which Erne won by a nose from Glen- rice. Jockey Krnapp rode splendid race on Erne. ¢ Richard Dwyer did the starting while Colonel A. W. Hamilton, £4 Cole and Ralph Tozer were in the judges’ stand.

NEW YEAR'S EDITION NEXT SUNDAY CALL — selling | SAD SAM, IN A‘MOMENT OF MERRIMENT, RUNS CIRCLES AROUND MONEY MUSS Judges. Do Not Like the Looks of the Race and Both et Sad Sam, the forlorn half-breed sprinter, right off the irons, sizzling hot. done brown to a turn, made a sor- ry-looking spectacle of his field yester- day in the third event at Ingleside. Latest returns show that he was backed off the boards at the track, the !hand books about town were burned to a crisp, and the pool rooms at Seattle, ! Oklahoma, Spokane, Hong-Kong, Skag- way, Honolulu, Hot Springs, - Kanka- kee, IIL. Cairo, Egypt, and Stockton, Califorpia, are aware by this time that Money Muss is no match for the demon of the jungles. . In the opening betting it was 21 to horses mentioned. Looking a "wo-horse affair little consideration was given Albemarle, St. Winifride or the other starters. Along toward post time Sad | Sam had been played down to 5 to 5 and evens, while the odds against the Muss horse soared skyward. It was another case of Jack and Jill. Sad Sam won by himself, with Money Muss and the others tumbling in after him. Sherwood, who rode Sad Sam, evidently had orders to make every post a lamp post, for he was still rid- ing the favorite when the wirning line was crossed, ten lengths in front. TWO STABLES SUSPENDED. Immediately after the race Harry Green, of Spokane, owner of Sad Sam, | claimed Money Muss for $1025, the yel- low horse being entered to be sold for $700. The judges did not exactly like the complexion of afrairs and the stables of Green and P. C. Donaleche, in whose name Money Muss races, were ordered suspended, pending further in- vestization of the race. A well balanced card attracted the full coterie of racegoers and the betting was heavy. Four favorites, a second choice and one rank outsider annexed purses, Walter Jennings' crack sprinter §hnt Gun, at odds of 3 to 5 showed his field no merey in the five-and-a-half furlong purse event The big fellow, with Jack Martin in the turret, went to the front | when the barrier exploded, and. even with the emergency brakes called into | requisition, landed his 119 pounds first | with the utmost ease. Kenilwcrth, pi- | loted by Otto Wonderly, led Peter J out for the place. | DICK TEURPIN IS SPEEDY. Dick Turpin, the Eastern coit with a | very trim record, was introduced in the two-year-old fixture, and made himself right at home. Dick was played from 7 to 5 down to even money, and took thie ring. The latter led almost to the stretch, where the Eastern visitor, with Wonderly up, took control of affairs, | disposing of the Cameron entry with neatness and dispatch, scoring by three lengths. At the close Military Man was pressing H. L. Frank hard for second position. decided under selling conditions, three horses went down on the far turn, their riders fortunately escaping serious in- jury. The winner turned up in Louis Wagner, one of the choices, which won all the way. Nullah took the place from Cardwellton. As an even money betting propos: tion, Caronal with Hildebrand on his | back. cannot be called a success. The St. Carlo colt went to the post a 11 to 10 favorite for the mile and a sixteenth selling selection and, again weakly rid- den, ran third. Jockey Club, played from 2% to 2, made all the running, and in a driving finish downed Nigrette half a length. Caronal finished at the latter's saddle skirts. El Oriente, the second choice, lost the last race over a mile to Prestolus, a 1§ to 1 shot, by a nose. Jack Martin, who piloted the outsider, saved a world of ground by cutting across lots in the stretch, getting the decision on the last stride. Illowaho was third. Brennus, the favorite, dled away in the stretch. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Trains wil! leave the depot, Third and Towiisend streets, to-day for In- gleside at 1 and 1:15 p. m. ‘When Marlin, Cathello and Rionda fell .on the far turn in the first race ‘Willie Daly and Anderson escaped un- scathed. Oliphant, who rode Marlin, was not quite so fortunate, having one of his ankles severely bruised. Tommy Burns, who rode The Fog in the handicap at Los Angeles vester- day, wiil be seen in the saddle at In- gleside to-day. Tommy's splendid riding has earned for him a host of friends and he is usually found knock- the class of the horse he may ride. The Christmas handicap, the fea- ture event of the card this afternoon, with $3000 added money, makes it one of the rich plums of the racing season and the field is a high class one. Claude, the four-time Darby winner, is allotted top weight, 123 pounds. The son of Lissak carried a stouter impost than this in the Ameri- cdn Derby and it would not be sur- prising to see him win. Oarsman is in grand fettle and will take a world of beating. Proper worked well and it is | needless to say is ready. Faulconbridge is a “mudder,” but can also run some on a fast track, and Bob Smith is sweet on his colt's chance. Of the tightweights, the chances of Eonic and Forest King look brightest.

(103 First Round of a Handicap Doubles Will Be Decided This Morning. The California Tennis Club will hold a handicap doubles tournament this morning. As many of the play- ers expressed a desire to witness the big football game in the afternoon it was deciled by the tournament com- mittee to play only up to noon. The event will be finished on Sunday. All of the active players of the club will be seen in the tourney this morn- ing. The holders of the cups are the Smith brothers, but they will not compete for them in future. Allen and. Hill have also won the trophie: It is doubtful if Tobin and Taylor will participate in the tournament. If they draw in the first round they will play on Sunday, but if they come out in the preliminary round they will probably default. The following teams have already entered: Herbert Schmidt and Harry Rolfe, Will Payn and Lloyd Baldwin, C. J. Smith and Will Collier, J. D. MacGavin and F. S. Mitchell, Will Allen and Dr. Hill, Ray Cornel! and Ray Splivalo, E. P. Spring, Long broth- J. Robbins and W. ers, A. Bull. Many more entries are expected t morning. There will be no tourna- ment at the park to-day. —————— Sailor Killed by Switch Engine.
