It is probable the competition for the open championship of the Pacific Coast Golf Association will be held in the fall. The work of preparing the ground at Ingleside for the new course of the San Francisco Golf Club is golng on, and plans for a clubhouse are being consid- | ered. Meanwhile some members are; playing over the Presidio course, where | tournaments were held on Labor day: and Admission day. The new course of the Claremont Country Club will be ready for play in & short time. It is to be hoped that the interciub team contests, which did not take place last winter, may be played during the coming season. The chance of repre- senting a club on its team always does much to stimulate interest in a game and’ to encourage players to reach a higher standard of skill. ————— BOARD DENIED NEW TRIAL.—The Board of Harbor Commissioners has fafled in its ef- fort 1o get a new trial of the action by which Charles Foster and Horace Orear G injunction rest the board from letting news stand in ‘building to_Joh: L in-law of Charles H.

The Sution sisters, as usual, swent all before them and it is safe to say they will be champions as long as they play the game. May Sutton is i® a class by herself and :ould give odds to any other woman player in the country. The first annual tournament for the championship of the bay countles will be inaugurated at the park on the 25th inst. A cup has been donated by Reuben H. Lloyd, to be competed for until won three times. All of the best players in the coun- ties around the bay will compete and there will be some high-class tennis on the public courts. Champion Mac- Gavin will be seen in competition and will be a strong favorite for first honors. Percy Murdock, Will Allen, R. N. Whitney, George Baker, Clar: ence Grifin and many of the Califor- nia Club cracks will also participate. The lady playvers of the park will hold a class singles tournament to-day. There is no first class at the park among the lady players and play will be confined to second and third class players. In the second class Miss Anna Vodden is the champlon. Miss Travenar won the third class in the last tournament. A banquet will be given in honor of Drummond MacGavin, the new cham- pion, next Saturday night. It will be given by the California Tennis Club, of which MacGavin has been a promi- nent members for years. and will be held at the California Hotel. The effort to bring four of the best Fastern players out here to play in the coast championship tournament failed, but it is almost a certainty they will play both here and in the south some time in December.

BERKELEY MUS LOP A NEW TEAM, AND AS THE MATERIAL IS LIGHT, SPEED 1S THE DESIRED QUALITY. — 'GRIDIRON PRACTICE ON IN EARNEST BERKELEY, Sept. 16.—Tt is a little too early to prognosticate who will heip defend the University of Califor- |nia colors in football this year. As | far as material 1s concerned, that for | the varsity is almost as raw as that |for the freshman team. Even the how thg varsity will line up. At this stage of the game it would be folly Th even hazard a guess at the person- nél of the tearh. From the way af- | fairs look a team will not be selecteq until just before the big intercollegiate game. It will take all of these two and a half months to develop the | proper material. | The football squad does not seem to | contain any such uniformly big men |as played on last year's varsity, The | big fellows have all gone. There are | po Overalls nor Stows for guard, nor | Hudsons and Demerritts for ends. The | material is rather light, take it all in |ali. Coach Hopper promises to make | the best out of what is available. The way he goes at the coaching business is a revelation to the veterans. There (i3 no doubt he sees the only salvation for California this year is a fast team and all his teaching so far has been |in that direction. Hopper is already : being assisted in his ‘work by Mini, last | year’s varsity halfback, and is likely |soon to have Geisberg, with whem | negotiations are pending. P, [‘ There are five places on the varsity | that will have to be filled with new | material—right and left guard, right |and left end and quarter. The most i likely candidates for the guard posi- |tions are Reed and Gray, who had some exnerience as members of last year’'s second eleven. Brown, O'Con- | nell and Arlett are also trying for the i piaces. “Pat” Oliver is the best of |the squad for end and may do, as he “lhowed up well last year. -Sabin, “Red” Oliver, Henry and Elliott have their hopes set on one of ‘the end | places, The rest of the line will be filled | with veterans. - Stroud, at center, has | played four seasons and knows the game. ‘“Greek” Howard will no doubt be returned to his old station at left tackle and “Heine” Heftmuller will go back to right tackle., Heitmuller is just getting over an attack of ap- pendicitis and has not done any prac- ticing' so far, but he will be around again soon. There is a likelihood that Forcee, last year's fullback, may be put in at tackle, in which case either Heit- | eoaches are a long way from knowing | plons are anxious to play here and ;muller or Howard will ‘be moved up to arrangements to bring them out are! > under way.

RISES O elevator I i | i best. is counted on to do something, Cldude Kern, captain of his freshman team. is being tried out in his old pesition at right half.. Anloff is another candi- date who has the build of a_good player, but licks experience, . Evans, Elllott, Stines, Leseter and Osgood are all in the going, too. The, team will' be stféngthened by an experienced man In the fullback position. Force and Stern played last year in that place and krow it weli. Either of these may be used again. There is no lack of quarterbacks. Of the lot Belknap and Booth are the Belknap plays a good, heady game. He would have madé the var- sity last year but for an injury. Booth played quarter on the second eleven. The others trying are McPherson, Coogan and De Armand. There are .about eighty candidates for places on the fréeshman team. Out of this big squad there are no “prep school” wonders and not one that will make the team for a ‘“cinch.” . For the eleven positions there are a dozen Or more trying and some of the more likely ones are the following named: Guarde—Barnicott, ' Auburn; Foster, Mount Tamalpals; Kattenbach and Kerr, Berkeley. Tackles—Edgar Stow, Belmont; Newman, Shaw, Bromhay, Woodruff and Richardson. Endg—West, Mechfessel, Towne, Ashley, Zacharals. Hadlf backs—McDonald, ~ Bell, . Newman, Brown. Snowden of Oakland, Danow and Ar- fold, Parsons of Derkeley, Sperry of Modesto. Full backs—Fuller of Pomona, Horton of Los Angeles, and Riley. Quarter backs—Herrlott, Healy of Petaluma and Golcher of Lick . DIFFIOULTIES BESET GAME LAW VIOLATORS Sportsmen and Pot Hunters of Four Counties Are Arrested and Heavily Fined. William Paulus, ‘Henry Clintworth and Swan Nelsén acknowledged that they h#d been guilty of violations of the deer law before Justice of the Peace Brewer of Paso Robles yester- day and were fined $25 each. Justice of the Peace Smith of Fresno fined Ah Sam $25 yesterday for having striped bass in his possession. F.

Com- e recefv AT BOTH BERKELEY AND STANFORD Oiympic Eleven Will Meet the Cardinal Men on the Stanford Cam- ‘ pus This Afternoon in the First Game of the Season. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 16. The work of two weeks’' hard training under the direction of Coach Lanagan has had its effect on the cardinal foot- ball squad and a fast organization is being rapidly perfected. With the nine veteran players who were lert irom last yvears team Coach Lanagan had the nucleus of an eleven which was able to start at once learning new plays and did not have to wasie three or four weeks learning the rudiments of the game. Consequently the progress has been rapid and the coaches ate satisfied with the outlook. There are to be two qualifications this year which every man who hopes to make the Stanford team must have, These. are weight and speed. Coach Lanagan feels that both the University of California and the Stanford teams will be stronger than those of last year and he is looking forward to a union of weight and speed that will develop a team capable either of plunging through a heavy line or skirting the opponent's ends at top speed. To accent this speed a new way of passing the ball from center to quarterback is being tried. The cen- ter snaps the ball into the quarter’s hands instead of his arms, as hereto- fore. This enables the quarter to pass the ball to the backs easier and more quickly. The tendency in this method is more frequent fumbling, but with quarterbacks as- sure as Stott and ganabach there is little danger of S, © There are nine veterans playing on the fleld eleven now and they seem a tower of strength, Captain Clark will be at left end. Roosevelt at either left guard or tackle, Thompson at right guard, Shields right tackle and Smith right end form a strong, heavy line with but two vacancies to be filled. Bansbach will be a quarter again and will give the signals. Stott is here to take Bansbach’s place in case the lat- ter is hurt. Dole, Weller and Chal- mers complete a back fleld that will average 175 pounds to the man.’ It is far too early in the season to say these veterans will all get into the game. Some may be injured in the preliminary games and again some of them may lose their positions to better men, but their presence in the game makes the outlook for success and victory far from discouraging. There are several husky freshmen who are going to make a hard fight for the varsity before the season is over. Tomasini is one of them. He is a tackle from the Palo Alto High school, weighs 200 pounds and punts well. Hazelwoed is a heavy freshman who, although as new at the game as ‘Weller was last year, seems likely tode- velop into just such a plunger as the cardinal fl‘l"m: Van Byckle, Blood, ‘Montzingo, , Lachmund %‘-ma team men last EASTERN HOUNDS 10 INVADE COAST Strong Kennels Are to Come | Here for Winter Season" of the Leashman’s Sport§ | The annual winter invasion of the | coursing flelds of California by the | leashmen of the Middle West is soon to set in.

The '“purse” will be a con- solation event for the dogs beaten in the first round of the cup. The “plate” will be for the dogs beaten in the first round of the “purse.” This gives each | entry three chances to win at least its entrance fee.

The billiard and card tournaments, which were to have been held on Saturday, the 3d inst., but were postponed on account of the absence of several members during the Labor day vacation, will be held to- night. The night's amusements will in- clude not only billiards, but also chess, checkers, dominoes, euchre and whist. Members only are to be present. The evening’s games will begin at $:15 o’clock, and refreshments will _be served. The winners will receive prizes. The fleet of the Corinthian Yacht Club will cruise to-night to Vallejo, the tide, which floods until 5:40 p. m. at Fort Point and some hours later in Mare Island Straits, being faverable for a run up the bay. The fleet will re- turn to moorings at Tiburon to-mor- row. Most of the yachtsmen of the San Francisco Club will content themselves with starting to-morrow morning for a few hours’ cruise. The California Club has no event set down on its pro- gramme. On Saturday, the 24th inst., the San Francisco fleet will cruise to Vallejo, and on the following day will race down to Sausalito. - Though the important annual regat- tas are over, each of the three clubs will hold a regatta before the end o the present season. On Sunday, Octo- ber 9, the San Francisco Yacht Club will hold a power-boat race, and the Corinthian Yacht Club will have it regular small boat races off Paradise Cove. The handicap regatta for the Vineent cup will be held by the Califor- nia Yacht Club on Sunday, October 2. The South Bay Yacht Club fleet cruises to-morrow to Dumbarton starting from its moorings i Slough at 9:45 o'clock in t morning. The clambake and barbecue recently given by the South Bays to the visiting Corinthian yachtsmen were highly successful. The visiting fleet in- cluded Commodore T. Jennings’ sloop Speedwell; the sioops Edna, Neptune Espey, Aloha and Aeolus; the yawl Frolic and the California sloop Pacto- lus. This was the first time that any considerable number of San Francis yachyp had been anchored at Alviso, and the hospitable reception of the vis- iting tars was highly appreciated. The regatta committee of the Pacific Interclub Yaeht Assoclation has ce firmed the results of the races held oa Admission day. A protest was offered by Kennedy and Burke, owners of the little yawl Witch, which sailed around the course allotted for the special yaw! class, though she had been included with the little yawl Kittiwake in the | twenty-foot class, or “mosquito fleet.” It has been the practice of the regatta committee to assign small yawls to the twenty-foot special class, giving them the regular 10 per cent allowance for rig. The committee has this power and saw no reason for departing from its usual course. The stagting and flnish- ing times of the yaw! Witch were not taken by the judges, who did not know on the day of the regatta that her own- ers were racing. The fastest actual sailing time over the fourteen-mile course was made by Fulton Berry's sloop Nixie, being 2:34:17. T. Jennings’ sloop Speedwell made the second best time, 2:35:32, and Harpoon covered the course fn 2:41:25. time allowance W. G. Morrow's sloop Challenger beat the whole fleet, covering the course in 2:41:54 actual time, in spite of the loss of some min- utes on account of the absence of the windward stakeboat on the second beat out. ———— ACCUSED OF STRIKING HIS SISTER AND AGED FATHER ‘Warrants Out for the Arrest of Frank J. McQuaild on Two Charges of Battery. Patrick McQuaid, 417% Grove Mary, each swore to a warrant before Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday for the ar- rest of Frank J. McQuaid on a charge of battery. The father had a black eye and the daughter’s upper lip was swollen and four of her upper teeth had been knocked out. Frank is 31 years of age and a son of Patrick. On Thursday night he went home drunk and in an ugly mood. His father and sister rémon- strated with him for using foul lan- guage. He struck his father. Mary ran forward to protect her father. Frank struck her on the mouth. While she lay on the floor he leaned over and, calling her an offensive name, said he would kill her. “The boy is a loafer,” said the old man, “and when.he is not playing the races with any money he can get he is loafing around saloons. About a year ago he raised a row in the house and we had him arrested for disturb- ing the peace. Jud, Cabaniss gave him thirty days, but this time we want him to get the limit. My eye will heal, but the girl will not get her teeth back again.” —— e Succeeds in Killing Himself. Henry A. Coburn, carpenter, died at the Maudsley Sanitarium early yes- terday morning of the effects of a fractured skull While demented from alcohol last Wednesday he at- tempted sulcide by throwing himself across the ralls in front of a street car at the crossing of Geary street and Van Ness avenue. The gripman stopped the car in time to avoid strik- ing him. Coburn then repeated the act at the crossing of Octavia and Geary and the gripman of that car was equally prompt. . Finally Co- burn threw himself in front of a team of horses and whern taken up was found to be suffering from con- cussion of the brain. . He was 31 years old, married and a native of Chicago. ————— those by Wild Tralee-Miranda, War- burton (imp.)-Lady Davenport, Roman Athlete-Young Firenazl, Rocker-Mount Ida, Nargissus-Mamie Pieasant.
