When the sig- | s given for the commencement | o day’s proceedings and the tar- gets appeared Adolph Strecker fired the first shot in the contest. Immediately marker waved the red flag, indi- g that twenty-five rings one inch , diameter had been scored. This mas- ter shot was greeted with tremendous applause. From this time until the end of the contest the Californians forged steadily ahead of all other teams. Wil- Jlam Koenig started with three twenty- fours to his credit, and every member of the team did excellent work at the targets. The final resuit showed the Californians had beaten the next high- est team (the Helvetias of New York) by sixty-eight rings. Philo Jacoby won the champion medal of the team, with 192 rings in ten shots at the half-inch The victorious team was crowned with laurel wreaths and presented with the Centennial champion goblet as evidence of thelr superior marksmanship. This trophy is semi- annually filled with champagne and passed around among the marksmen at the distribution of prizes won at the various festivals. On the return of the successful team to San Francisco the marksmen kept up their practice at the rifie range in Alameda. The California Schuetzen ub gained rapidly in membership and and after weathering many rms, which threatened its existence, it ie to-day the largest citizen rifie as- sociation in America, embracing more than 240 members and owning the handsome grounds known as the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Park, near San Ra- fael. The club has an ample treasury and 1000 shares of dividend-paying park stock, amounting to about $15,000. In addition to a prize shooting for mem- bers every Sunday in the year, the club ulso gives a semi-annual festival, open to all marksmen. at which many valu- able prizes in money and merchandise are won by successful contestants. —_———————— Cannot “Fertilize” Contest. Judge Coffey yesterday sustained the demurrer to the complaint in the contest against the will of Jeanette Crabbe and gave Attorney Eastin ten days in which to amend. Mrs. Crabbe had lived for forty years as a servant in the family of Charley Harley. Har- Jey died five years before Mrs. Crabbe’s will was made, but the con- testants allege that under the influ- ence which he started Mrs. Crabbe left all her estate to the Harfeys ex- cepting $200. The defense demurred 10 the charge that a man‘who had been dead five years had influenced the making of a will, and Judge Coffey =aid: *“A man dead five years is good for mothing but fertilizing, and you ;:;:Lm use him to fertilize a will con- the rifie SEND NO HOUNDS | | M STREUL- PHILO JACOST | | | i | | | || | H 11 { ThE » ‘ | i T g | oUs |1 !

The atmos-| phere is always cleared after the first game, and so the fans will have to wait | at the end of | the second half before any one will| know how good or how bad are Califor- | nia’s chances There are those who think California will suffer the same fate as Stanford | last Saturday at the hands of that husky Olympic crowd. California has not struck its gait by any means yet, and the play is more than likely to be a bit wobbly. { The first line-up will be something like this: Stroud, center; Stern, right| guard; Gray, left guard; Force, right tackle; Howard, left tackle; Oliver, right end; Henry, left end; Kittrelle, quarter; Sperry, right half; White, left half; Lafater, ful’. This is the tea:a that looks the best to the spectators although others will be given a chance by the coaches. When changes are madé Mead, White, Evans and Anloff will be tried as backs, Lasa- ter and Boynton at full, Boothe at quarter, O'Toole and Reed at guard, and Elliott, Caminetti and Coogan at end. Snedigar wrenched his knee in prac- | tice and will be out of the game for some time. Kern is also laid up w&lh an injured ankle. In the two gzames the freshmen played they put up a ragged article. They cannot be .expected to make much of a showing this early, however, | and as the seaso advances they will naturally improve. Certainly there is enough good mateial on hand to man- ufacture a first-rate eleven. It looks as if Sperry, the best youth the season has developed, will be need- ed to help the freshmen to victory. His absence from the play against the Berkeley High School last Wednesday was noticeable. Weller was used for| the Stanford freshmen and varsity| last year, and no doubt Sperry will be made to do doubl: duty for California if he continues his excellent work. Snowdon and Golcher promise much as halfbacks, Snowdon particularly. Twitchell seems 10 be well placed at full. Kendall is good at quarter and seems to keep his head, as all good! quarters do. ] Lena Walton Answers Gutter. i Lena Walton, “the Hetty Green ‘of Cape Nome,” whs was arrested here a few weeks ago on a charge of ob- taining money ur.der false pretenses, preferred by Max Gutter, yesterday filed an answer to Gutter's civil suit to recover $6000.° She denies that at her request Gutter advanced her large sums of money aggregating $6000 or any other sum.

STANFORD LOSES VALUABLE. MEN Dole and Roosevelt Are Con- fined in the University Hospital With Diphtheria —_——— fTA\NFURD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 23. \\}lh the coming of the cool weather this week came a noticeable improve- | ment in the work of the Cardinal foot- ball squad. There is a snap and vigor {in the movements of the 100 candidates for the 'varsity tha was ainfull; [m‘kmg a few weeks ago. ¥ = The men have ttled down in the football har with the realization | that they will have to fight for their positions, and it is this fighting spirit make: the Stan rd coaches i The piayers have lost their early feeling of overconfidence and have buckled down to the hardest kind of work in splendid shape. Throughout the week Coach Lanagan has been teaching the heavy backs to catch punts and the ends to run down the field after them. It is fast play the head coach seeks and he is bending every effort to make each candidate a sprinter.” The teanis run off plays as fast now as they did last year a month later in the season. Dole and Roosevelt, halfback and suard, are both in the University Hos- pital with aiphtheria and it will be at least three weeks before they will be abjl‘; to leave the ward. ere is a chance that they will be strong enough to get into the game, for they are both football veterans and do not need much coaching, but the chance is a slim one. With these two men out of the game the Cardinals’ hope for victory over the Blue and Gold regeives a seriqus setback, as Dole is the most consistent back Stanford has had for many years, while Roosevelt is a first-class lineman. = Meanwhile a merry fight will go on for these two vacant positions. Tomasini, the big freshman from Palo Alto, is doing well at guard on the varsity. He is heavy, uses his head well, and is a hard man to stop. Be- sides this he promises to become the hgst punter on the field. With Tomas- ini at guard, Thompson, who played that position last year, has been shift- ed to tackle. The change will be bene- ficial, as Thompson is sure to prove a great ground-gaining tackle. The freshman team is still raw, and not one candidate has his position as- sured. The loss of Cadwallader, the I WYL E | have pulled him down.

If, on the other hand. San Francisco County should prove victorious its percentage will be raised to 62.50, Alameda will be reduced to 58.33, thus giving San Francisco County the cham- pionship. Richardson, of course, is easi head of the batting averages, v kins of Santa Cruz second and Petersen third. Wilding was for some time sec- ond to Richardson on the list, but small scores in the last two or three matches Jenkins' aver- age has remained undisturbed, and Pe- tersen's has been much improved by his score of 109 against the Pacific team last Sunday.

It will be the first champion- ship event ever played on the publie courts and should be productive of some clever tennis. It is to be an an- nual event for the singles champion= ship of the bay counties. The tourna~ ment will be open and it is expected nearly all of the cracks from both sides of the bay will compete. Reuben H. Lloyd has offered a handsome silver loving cup, which must be won three times. Owing to the unusually large entry it will take at least three Sun- days to determine who is to be the first champion. Champion MacGavin has entered the competition, but will be out of town and unable to play. will be a dis- appointment to many, as he is playing great tennis. Percw Murdock, the Ala- meda crack, will not compets, as he has announced his intention of retir- ing from tournament play. With these two out of it the championship will in all probability go to one of the follow- ing players: Will Allen, George Baker, Clarence Grifin or R. N. Whitney. Baker and Allen are the doubles cham- pions of the Coast and they are prob- ably the best players entered. Whitney has taken a new lease of life and stands a chance to win If he can last. Young Griffin is improving rapidly and may surprise the experts. Herbert Long is another youngster who is coming to the front rapidly and will cut some figure in the tournament. He does not play as well in tourna- | ments as in practice, but he will prove | a \hard man to beat. The annual election of officers of the i(’ah!nrnla Tennis Club will be held next Saturday. The directors will meet on Monday night to elect a nominat- ing committee. It is not expected there will be many changes. The officers now serving will probably be re-elected. The following officers have served for the* past year: W. 8. MacGavin, president and treasurer; W. B. Collier, vice pres- ident; Grant M. Smith, secretar: Frank S. Mitchell, Harry H. Haight, Dr. Lovegrove and Dr. Noble, direc- tors. The delegates to the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association will hold their annuai meeting for the election of officers in October. The California Tennis Club will give a banquef to-night in D. MacGavin, the new Coast champion. It is expected all the prominent tennis men on both sides of the bay will at- tend. The race for the directors’ cups at the California Club is an interesting one. Long and Janes scored their sec- ond consecutive victory last Sunday. and are tied with Schmidt and Rolfe It seems the trophies will go to one of these two teams permanently. —_—— Shellfish were responsible for nine cases of typhoid fever in London last vear,
