A ol P RS REQUISITION IS WANTED FOR RETURN OF SCHWARTZ Pardee Asked to Secure Custody of Prisoner Held by the Mexican Authorities. SACRAMENTO. Dec. 28.—Applica- tion was made to-day to Governor Pardee for a requisition for the re- | turn to this State of Abe G. Schwartz, | wanted in San Franclsco for grand | larceny. Schwartz is now in custody in the City of Mexico. The complaint ! against him is made by the Phoenix Building and Loan Association, which accuses him of having stolen checks to the value of $1000. —_———— Indicted by Grand Jury. TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 23.—J. H. Har- ceurt was to-day indicted by the Grand Jury on a charge of securing money under false pretenses. Bail was fixed at $8000. Evidence showed the | tetal value of the jewels, on which he | received an advance of $12,500, would not exceed $2200. Harcourt was ex- tradited from Talifernia three weeks ago. the California Club. The Golden Gate Club has given up tournament play for the present and has nothing sched- | uled until the latter part of January. In the meantime the boys of the Junior Club and the ladies of the Annex are taking advantage of the respite and are holding tournaments regularly. The Junior Club, which was organ- ized by Mr. Marvin about two months ago, has grown with surprising rapid- ity. The club started with about twenty members and already has some sixty on the roll. The boys average almost two tournaments a week, in which the entry list is always large and the interest at a high pitch. A continuous tournament started last week and as the boys will be able to play after school hours it should prove a great success. was This club will prove an excellent training school and will develop ny good players. It is restricted to boys 16 years of age or under. The dues and initiation fee are small and any boy within the age limit can be- | | come a member. The Christmas tournament, which the California Club is planning, will be an interesting affair. It will be a scratch doubles in which partners are drawn. This will wake the affair something of a lottery. If the best| player in the club draws a fourth- class man the team will stand abso- lutely no show to win. I: seems hard- |1y just to the better players, who have been asked to give handicaps in all the tournaments of late. A straight scratch doubles would be more satis- factory and would be working no hardship on the poorer players. When the Whitneys \.ere the club champions an occasional handicap even. was always frowned upon. In those days the men who were lear ing the game considered themselves fortunate if they could get one handi- cap tournament out of three. the cracks consider themselves lucky if one tournament in five is a scratch event, The New Year's tournament, which will not be interfered with Christmas event in case of rain, will be the annual class singles tourna- ment. It will determine who is the best man in each-.class. Every active member of the club will participate in this event, which is one of the most important of the year. It will also !delsrm(ne \who the club’s best man is. J. D. MacGavin's departure leaves this question open. The winner of the first class will be the club champion for the year. The continuous tournament, which was started about three weeks ago, has not been as successful as was ex- pected.. This, however, is not due to a lack of Interest, but is due to weather conditions. The board is full of challenges at all times and the players seem anxious to get at one another. A mistake was made in | starting an event of this kind in mid- winter. Most of the players cannot get out during the week and the at- tendance is so large on Saturday after- moons that the courts are given over entirely to doubles. This leaves Sun- day the only day on which most of the members can play. In case of a rainy Sunday or an enforced absence from the city the matches ¢rag along. The days are too short for a continuous tourney. An event of this kind in the spring or early fall would prove a great success, but in mid-summer or winter It is a difficult thing to hold. The players are taking more interest in this tournament than any similar one held in the past. Following is the standing of the players: First class—No. 1, Ray B. Cornell; No, 2, Dr. mn.

Of the foregoing the nominees for the offices of commodore, vice commo- dore, port captain, secretary and treas- urer are the incumbents, who gave gen- eral satisfaction in the performance of | their duties during last season. Frank Stone and W. McFarland take the places of W. J. Hogg and Orlo East- wood on the board of directors. On the regatta committee T. J. Kavanaugh and Douglas Erskine retain their of- fices, while Stewart Middlemas takes the place of James K. Bulger, As it is the custom of the Corinthian Yacht Club to adjust all differences and harmonize the various parties before making up the regular ticket, the nom- inees are acceptable to all the members and are electgd unanimously at the an- nual meeting, which is held on the last Wednesday in January. The annual dinner of the Corinthian | Yacht Club will take place on New | Year’s day in the clubhouse at Tiburon. —_——— CALIFORNIA MILITIAMEN AT THE PORTLAND FAIR PORTLAND, Dec. 23.—Word has been received from the adjutant gen- eral of the National Guard of Cali- fornia that in all probability three crack militia companies from Cali- fornia will attend the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The State of Washington contem- plates sending militia companies, though the matter has not been defi- nitely decided. It is probable that Idaho will also be represented for a few weeks and possibly Colorado. ———— HAT PIN IS ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED INTO HER EYE BLOOMINGTON, Ilil., Dec. 23.—In consequence of a remarkable accident, Miss Jennie Fairbanks of Mansfield, a niece of Vice President-elect Fair- banks, was brought to a hospital here to-day. While putting on her hat, with a hat pin in one hand, a friend accidentally jostled Miss Fairbanks’ arm, as a result.of which the pin en- tered Mis Fairbanks’ eye. Her sight may be saved. 4 M.

At Freeman's Park to-morrow the Occi- dentals will line up for a friendly con- test with the Albion Rovers, the ball being kicked off at 2:30 p. m. At Idora Park, beginning at the same time to- morrow, the Oakland Hornets will play against the Independents. On Monday, the Occidental eleven will engage In an association football match against the Wolf Tones, play beginning at 2:30 p. m. on the ground at Ninth and Bryant streets, San Fran- cisco. The Wolf Tones are champions of Gaelic football, having defeated the Parnells 4 goals to 3 in a match played a few weeks ago. On the same day, beginning at the same hour, the Vam- pires will - play the regular annual match against a team of the Seamen’s Institute, San Francisco, on the cricket ground at Alameda. . The Albion Rovers, having played more matches and won a greater num- ber than any other team, stand at the head of the championship table. The Independents, however, drew the bye last Sunday and so had no opportunity to add to their list of victories. The Independents are in a better position with regard to the ultimate result than the Rovers, for they have lost only one match out of six, whereas the Rovers have lost two matches out of eight, or in the proportion of one in four. It is probable that the Oakland Hornets will become a more important element in the contests that will be played next year. The results of the league matches up to date are shown in the table.

The San Pablo shore furnished ideal! canvasback shooting last Sunday. Nine men secured limit bags easily. Henry | Klevesahl and Dr. Hutton secured a| joint bag of 40 cans near Giant. Jack Molsen picked'up 17 cans in the same neighborhood. The birds killed in thlu} district were as fat as butter, while| those secured near Petaluma were thin. } 1t is supposed the former are living high | on the -baited preserves, while the latter have to scratch around after clams for a living. Pote McRae, Jim Maynard and Mr. Fishbeck took a day. off from duck shooting and enjoyed some excellent sport after quail near Point Reyes. Stow Lake, in Golden Gate Park, has been full of wild ducks in the finest possible condition recently. The birds seem to have no fear of the visitors there, as they let persons approach quite close to them. The majority are spoon- bills, mallard and bluebills. They do not remain long, the call of the wild taking them away to new feeding grounds. Mr. Carlson, who is one of the regu- lars at Alvarado. says the men who shoot there are disappointed if they da not get the limit.. The good shooting ! mever lasted so 10ng before as it has this year. As the marsh is easily ac- | cessible there are a great many men out. z The gun stores have been deluged, with orders for shells recently. Many men expect to spend the holidays after ! ducks and quail. X If weather conditions ! are favorable an army of sportsmen will be afield, especially on the New | Year’'s holidays. e egee Ty King Peter Signs the Press Law.

The latter is one of the famous St. Clairs and much is expected of the ungsters. There will be no coursing at Union ' Park to-morrow,.but a day stake of forty-eight entries will be run on Monday. The first brace of dogs will be sent to the slips upon the arrival of the 10:15 a. m. train. The officials endeavored to secure grey- ecial holi- hounds of the same class and they | succeeded.
