FAST BOXERS SIGNED BY HAWTHORNE CLUB Bob Ward, a New Discovery, Will Try to Trim Davis. Some exciting seraps should result when the amateurs signed by the Hawthorne Club meet at Woodward's Pavilion next Friday evening. Seven bouts will be put on, three of which will be for the championship in the feather, middle and heavy weight di- visions. Joe Kane will box Joe Leahy for honors In the feather;weight class. Kane put up a great fight against Jim Earley, who had won the champion- ship in the Olympic Club tournament in their recent go and figures to trim Leahy. The Cow Hollow pug is very shifty and has a=good punch for a little fellow. George Murray and Jim Hornbuckle will provide one of the special events. Murray defeated Jack McLaughlin and | available candi- the also cleaned out all dates at the tournament, so he is legitimate middle-weight champ. P. Davis, the young heavy-weight who so decisively beat Jack Clasby and Sam Spaulding. will have as his oppo- nent a bruiser who parades under the name of Bob Ward. The latter is be- ing taught how to box by Jack Me- Carthy, boxing Instructor at St. Igna- tius gymnasium. He has had him in charge for more than six months and thinks very well of his chances. The rest of the card follows: Kyle Whitney vs. Otto Knoch; Harry Riley vs. Al Lloyd, Willie Conroy v Charles Weber, and Johnny Murphy vs. Jimmy Ervin. ———————— DOC MOSKIMAN IS SIGNED UP BY PITTSBURG PIRATES Popular Oakland Player Will Shine as a Big League Pitcher Next Season.

Otto Stifel Proves Failure in the Last Race. BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. Radtke, the Keene Bros.' star light- weight rider, set a season’s mark for the other pilots to shoot at by landing four of his mounts first at Oakland track yesterday. Three of these winners, Louis Schumacher, Mafalda and San Primo, f‘DOrled the Keene stable’s colors. Radtke is an unostentatious little fellow, exer clses splendid judgment, sets a horse as Snug as a bug on a rug and it is dif- ficult to tell when his mount i all in. He has a clever way to stealing up and taking the lead that reminds one of ti bicyelist Eddie Cannon Bald and his fa- mous jump finish, Just at present Radtke has “Big Bill” Knapp, McBride and Loague hustling to keep up with the pace he is setting. Fine weather drew the customary Mon- day crowd. The track was good, but not what is termed fast. Favorites an- nexed three purses. In a finish so close that none but the judges could separate them, Louis Schu- : macher, the 8 to 5 choice, received the award over Tom Roberts for the maiden two-year-old purse. Teddy Robinspn rode the outsider and got his mount up the fractional part of a second too late. Knapp finished third on Atkins, after an uneven passage, Everything looks good on paper before & race has been decided. There appeared to be but one chance of beating James Nealon's Royal Rogue for the six fur- long selling event. The horse is a bleed- er and race horses are usually stricken with this application when quoted at a short price. But Royal Rogue didn’t bleed, he simply lived up to his name. Mafalda was backed from 7 to 4, and beat the favorite every inch of the route. Dr. Roberts ran third. Charley Fink's colt. Eckersall, a long time overdue, breasted the tape first for the six and a half furlong sprint, for which a fleld of eleven lined up. Ecker- sall closed a 2% to 1 favorite and scored without effort, McBride, who rode him, indulging Bonnie Reg with the lead for half the trip. Lloyd Fountain came from behind on Angelica, along with Lerida, another detained one, ridden by Loague, by a head. So down In the mouth were the backers of Isabellita, first in demand for the mile and a sixteenth selling affair, that they would have disposed of their tickets at the rate of 5 cents on the dollar. There were eleven starters, and the mare turned down the back stretch last of the bunch. Knapp, who had the mount, now began working overtime. She passed one after another, finally scoring easlly from Eleven Bells and Iras at the finish. There seems to be no Rolding San Primo. Many thought the gelding’s run- away win one day last week a fluke, and { the books lald 16 to § about him in the betting on the mile and fifty-yard run. He was there again though, leading from the start and winning hands down in 1:43%. Bannock Belle, a 12 to 1 outsider, finished second, and Jackfull third. Foun- tain could not make Watercure extend himself. Captain Rice’s Rightful was “Hawkin's hoss” in the mile purse run. The ring was flooded with Otto Stifel money, the Schreiber entry retailing at 11 to 10 when the bugle sounded. For about seven- eighths of a mile Otto paraded out in the lead. Then Radtke let Rightful down and he fairly ran over the favorite. At the wire Rightful took the decision from the fast coming Bombardier by half a length. NOTES OF THE TRACK. The useful mare, - Red Cross Nurse, trained by George Wentworth, is on the afling list. President Willlams said on the boat last evening that the report circulated about Press Agent Scanlan going to Los An- geles in an endeavor to have Starter Diok Dwyer exchange places with Jake Holt- man, was absolutely without foundation. Scanlan went south seeking entries for the two-year-old stakes of the New Call- fornia Jockey Club, which closed yester- day, You You did not start in the second race because of being in the hands of the Sheriff. Gus Abercrombie had the mare attached, claiming that she was stolen from his stable at Butte in 1899, Fitzpatrick, who rode for Jimmy Coffey last season, is back in California. *‘Fitz" paid his old home in New York State a visit the past summer. ——— WESTERN JOCKEY OLUB NAMES ITS OFFICERS Same Chairman and Board of Stéwards WIll Serve for Amother.

PRESIDENT DISCUSSES FOOTBALL ONCE MORE “Billy” Reid and Herbert White of Harvard At- tend a Conference. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—Among Presi- dent Roosevelt's guests at luncheon to- day were Dr. William T. Reid Jr., head coach of the Harvard football squad, and Herbert White, connected with the Athletic Association of the same institu- tion. At the beginning of the football season, which came to a close last Saturday, the President had a conference with Dr. Reld, Walter Camp and several other au- thorities on the game, with a view to such modification of the rules as would eliminate its brutal features and prevent slugging so far as possible and at the same time bring about more open play. It was too late at that time to make any changes in the rules for the present sea- son, but the coaches promised to use their influence to prevent unnecessary brutality by teams with which they were connected and to consider, in the light of developments, changes in the rules of the game. The conference to-day, which was com- paratively brief, enabled the President to get the benefit of the observations of Dr. Reild and White during the season just closed. While nothing was disclosed re- garding the details of the conferance, it is stated that no conclusions of a definite character were reached. The President is anxious that the game of football as a college sport should not be abandoned, but he strongly favors a modification of the rules along the lines Indicated. Un- less brutality and danger to the lives of the players is reduced materially, he real- izes that the sport is practically doomed. The President is conferring personally and by letter with football authorities, but is not yet able to announce the re- sult of the consideration he has given the ‘matter.

This Is the dictum of the academic council the university as the result of a mee ing held last Wednesday night, the coun- cil’s action having just been made public by the university authorities. A conference is to be held by the ath- letic committee of the faculty with a similar faculty committee from Stanford at which the changes necessary to be made in the style of play will be thor- oughly discussed. If this joint commit- gee can agree upon a satisfactory revision of the game of a character satisfactory to the controlling powers of the State University, " the game will continue. If no such agreement is reached, and It appears that the revision of rules de- sired cannot be made, an edict will issue sounding the death knell of football as a sport recognized by the State Univer- sity. The academic council believes the Pa- cific Coast colleges are competent to pre- pare and enforce their own football rules independent of any action that may be taken by the football powers in the East. It is belleved that if California and Stan- ford unite in adopting rules the minor institutions of learning of the coast where football is played will fall into line and regulate their contests in ac- cordance with the bigger institutions’ policy. President Wheeler sald to-day he had not intended the action taken by the academic council should be generally known at this time, but as reports had been circulated more or less authentie he dictated the following statement garding the matter: The academic council at a meeting ‘Wednesday called upon the athletic committes of the faculty to make a full report of the present status of the game, Wwith recommenda- tions concerning the future attiude of university with regard to it. Since that meet- ing President Jordan and myself have agreed to @ conference between the athletic commit- tees of the two universities, looking toward a | later conference with experts amd authorities regarding the game. We shall be prepared to bave this later mecting take up the work, if found necessary, of reorganizing the rules so as to_construct a game for our OwD use. Football on the Pacific Coast has freed itself already of many of the evils which have a tended It in other localities, notably In the Middle West. In some respects we have never known these evils, such as extreme speciaiiza- tion and professionalism. We bave some rea- som, looking at it from this point of view, for moving ahead and providing a game for our- seives. It may be found difficult or fmpos- sible to agree on a standard of game to be Dlayed. In that case there will be but one sim- ple and direct procedure and that is to strike the zame from the list of Intercollegiate aports. —_— A MOULTON IS FOR FOOTBALL. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 4— Trainer Dad Moulton of Stanford Uni- versity to-day stated the assertions at- tributed to him In regard to the elimi- nating of football were misconstrued. He does not believe the great game is to be completely done . away with. Rather, it is his opinlon the sport will long continue to be the most popular of intercollegiate athletics, but that the rules will and must be modified. In answering the objection raised by some of the enemies of the game that the number of men engaged in the sport was not representative of the col- lege, and that many were debarred from participation in university ath- letics because of this fact, Moulton states this is not the case. At leasc 100 men. the heaviest and most husky in the university, will be allowed to en- gage. This leaves many other athletic branches open for the remaining stu- dents. Baseball, rowing, track, teanls and basketbalk are in his estimation ample field for recreation among all collegians. If the rules are to be modified the veteran trainer is at a loss to say what would be inserted and what eliminated from the present code. Open play has, as he is ready to prove by statistics, caused more serious injurfes than the popular mass playing. As all suggest- ed medifications point to a change In this direction some other point must be attacked. “Prep school football must be cut out,” declares Moulton. “The young- sters are not sufficiently matured to stand the hard knocks and severe training. It is largely the Injuries of these high school lads that have caused the comment and discourage- ment of the sport by university presi- dents.” —_—— ‘Wil Reform Football.
