The Supreme Court handed down a _written opinion yesterday affirming its oral decision published recently to the effect that no new attorneys could be admitted to practice until Gover- nor Pardee shall name the judges of the District Courts of Appeal.

The drawing for the remaining cup matches follows: On Sundcy, the 12th the only inst.,, the Albion Rovers will play the Eagles at Freeman's Park, Golden Gate. It is likely the match between the Pickwicks and Independents for the cham nship of the California As- sociation »otball League, which was postponed from February 19, will be played as a curtain-raiser to the cup tie. On Sunday, the 19th inst., the | winners of the Pickwick-Hornet match will play the Vampire eleven. On Sun- day, the 26th ins dependent team. The final tie for the California Association Football Union Cup will take place on Sunday, April 2 The only match played last Sunday for the league championship was be- tween the Oakland Hornets and the Albion Rovers, and was won by the Hornets with a score of 3 goals to 1 The Hornets are growing every match and will be an important element in the cup games. Last Sun- day’s match was interfered with in a peculiar and unique manner. The air- ship “California Messenger” was pulled to and fro over the football ground several times, compelling the players to stop the game. The crowd that was attracted to Idora Park by the desire to see the inventor of the airship make an ascent swarmed across the touch- lines and could not be held back. The standing of the clubs for the championship of the league is shown herewith: CALIORNIA LEAGUE CLUBS. Independent Two league matches remain to be played; one between the Pickwicks and be- tween the Oakland Hornets and the Eagles. When these have been played every team will have taken part in ten matches. ” Either the Eagle or the Pickwick eleven will probably go to Sacramento on Sunday, the. 12th inst., to play the Sacramento team, which will b made up as follows: Jennings (for- merly of the Albion Rovers) or Pommer, goalkeeper; Dooley and EI- liott, backs; King or Kennedy, right half-back; Cameron, center half-back; Button or Brunner, left half-back; Wright or Wilson, outside right; Wil- liams, inside right; Forbes (captain), center forward: Bowdin, inside left; Macartney, outside left. The members of the Sacramento Club are enthusias- tic, twenty-three turning out for prac- tice last Bunday. —_—— Golden Gate Sues Ophir. A suit for $600,000, the value of ore alleged to have been wrongfully extracted from its progerty on the Comstock lode in Nevada, was begun in the Superior Court yesterday by the Golden Gate Milling and Mining Company against the Ophir Silver Mining Company and its directors. The bulk of the complaint, filed by Attorneys Baggett, Jones & Sheridan, is devoted to a description of the property dnvolved and a statement of the plaintiff's title, which dates from 1880. The ore is said to have been taken from the Vermont Consolidated claim between August 1, 1903, and March 1, 1905. ., the winners of the | | Rover-Eagle match will meet the In-; stronger | :'7 ‘ | \ FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1905.

Tamora is by the ‘Imported dog | Fetter Free, out of High Born Lady. | She has shown speed, cleverness and | stamina and is considered a fitting | mate for Palo Alto.

The juveniles and the young ladies will join forces and will hold the first of a series of handicap mixed doubles tournaments. Thirteen of the cleverest young ladies at the park and a like number of the best players from the Junior Club will be in the competition. The most heavily handicapped team is Miss Lulu Wegener, the strongest of the lady players, and Harold Getz, a first class player among the boys. They will play from 15 3-6 behind scratch. Miss Vera Crocker and M. McLoughlin will “owe 15 1-6." Me- Loughlin is the club champion and a clever young player.

Fo- ley has always been a clever young player, but rather indifferent. He was at his best throughout the tournament and played a steady game. His hard- est match was with Carl Gardener in the semi-finals. The latter had beaten George Janes in straight sets and | looked to have a good chance to meet Baker. Foley upset calculations, however, by taking Gardener into camp after three close sets. Gardener won the first set easily, but after los- ing the second by a very small mar- gin seemed to lose heart and made rather a poor showing in the third set. Foley was as steady as a clock and played an excellent game. Fred Adams was the surprise of the tournament. He has been com- ing to the front slowly but steadily. He hardly looked to have a chance to reach the finals, but did so and made an excellent show- ing against Foley. He failed to get a set, but the first two went to 8-6 and Foley had to play his best to win. A. Brabant is another player who made a good showing in the tourna- ment.

Mrs. Shadburne was formerly Miss Marie' Presovich and is a stepdaughter of the plaintiff in the case. Prazak sued for $299, bur his claim was cut-down because the evidence disclosed that he Rad locked Shadburne out of his house and de- prived him of the custody of his child for three months and thus lessened his hil’?mty under a Supreme Court de- cision. » Prazak testified that Shadburne had port of his wife and child.

The challenge match which will be played to-day should be an interesting one. a strong favorite and his clubmates figure he is almost sure to win. He will find Foley no easy man to beat. The latter’s chances do not look good, but still he undoubtedly has a chance to win. The handicap singles tournament which was started at the park about six weeks ago will be completed to- morrow. The semi-finals and finals have yet to be played. The continuous tournament which has been on at the California Club'for several months is anything but a suc- cess. It was thought that when the days grew longer the players would meet oftener and take more interest in the tournament. Few matches are being played, however, seems little or no interest in the af- fair. Unless there is a sudden change the tournament should be dropped.
