The promoters of the Saturday Asso- | clation Football League are succeeding | #0 well that they expect to open the season with a full schedule of games on February 1, and to play to the end of March, A new team, known as the Oak Park Club, has been organized in Sacramento. On New Year's day it de- feated the Sacramento Football Club | eleven by a score of three goals to two. Indoor football is being played sue- | cessfuily- at the Olympic Club and the | Seamen’s Institute, an indoor baseball being used. Efforts are being made to introduce the game Into the Young | Men’s Christian Association. The larg- | est and most costly carpet ever manu- factured has just been made for the Winter Sports Club at the Olympla, London. It has a pile one and a half inches thick and is dyed a shade of | green, so that it looks and feels like real turf. It will be used to play cricket, lawn tennis and football on. Two hundred people, or nearly the entire | working population of a Suffolk village, | were employed for several wecks in | making it. It is made of cocoa-nut | fiber and raffia grass. According to the schedule of the Califor- nia Assoclation Footbai. League as origin- | ally arranged the Independents were to bave visited Sacramento to play against the Sacramento team on De- | cember 31, 1905, but all the matches | set for that day were transferred to | January 28. The Independents have | taken offense at the change, which com- | pels them to journey to and from the capital in a day instead of having two days in which to go and return; they deciere they will not go at all, but will, no doubt, be on hand when the time comes. R. H. Grey, president of the Oakland Hornets A. F. Club, says he will con- jtribute $100 to & fund to purchase medals if the Hornets win this season’s champlonship of the league. New uni- forms, manufactured in England for th, Oakland Hornets, the San Francisco and Sacramento teams, have reached this city.

Until its completion no turna- ments will be commenced. With but eight players in the competition instead of eleven, as originally planned, half the matches were completed in two days’ play. Adams’ accident set the tournament back somewhat. If he is able to play to-morrow the event will require but two more days for its com- pletion.

Up Suisun way there was a big flight of teal. The shooting conditions still remain good and the sportsmen have no ground for complaint. In some districts feed | seems scarce, while in others the birds | killed seem as though they were espe- cially fattened for the market. The ducks are feeding in the daytime on the alfalfa near Downieville, which is an indication that feed is scarce in that vicinity, The men who shot in the Point Reyes district last Sunday brought home an immense quantity of ducks, the steamer from Sausalito being fairly laden with | birds. Down at the Monterey preserve of the Empire Gun Club the new year was ush- | ered in auspiciously, Among the guests was Judge Bradley Sargent and his son. The latter, who is only 11 years old, did remarkably well, bagging twenty-seven birds. Judge Sargent, who is a clever | fleld shot, bagged the limit of fifty birds. | Floyd H. Judah had the limit, the bag | including some fine “cans.” J. B. Hauer | and Con Roman also reported limit bags. | H. E. Jacobsen secured seventeen sprig. | J. Peltier devoted the day to quail and | did well. Dr. George G. Gere was also | among the successful ones. Twenty-one | men in all were out. Otto Feudner and Willlam Hoffman had a good shoot on geese at Dixon on Sun- day. ! Hermann Oelrichs and the gentlemen so fortunate to be his guests have had un- usually good shooting on nis Suisun pre- serve, ‘While ducks are plentiful near Sonoma Creek there are too many men In quest of them. Ten boats passed a point near there within a short time on Sunday. | Bome of the salmon fishermen have come | down from the north and are putting in | the winter’ as market hunters. Jack Karney shot near this point on Sunday and bagged twenty-five birds. | Jultus” Bruns picked up a dozen and a | halt of birds Sunday afternoon. { The shoot of the Lincoln Club was not ,as good as that of the week before. The members have hag some good canvasback shooting recently. L. M. Grey shot over the Stewart pond, i near Suisun, on Sunday and did well. The i Belvedere Club members at Joyce Island | and the Field and Tule Club men at i Cordelia all had good shooting. { ¥rank Bond, Mr. Fishbeck and Wil Janssen had good shooting at Cordelia | on Sunday, but it flattened out somewhat on the following day. - Bert Patrick secured the limit on Sun- day on a private preserve near Sulsun.

T — FIRE COMMISSIONERS DISPOSE OF GOOD DEAL OF BUSINESS Hear Complaints Against Several Mem- bers of Department and Order Charges to Be Preferred. The Board of Fire Commissioners met yesterday afternoon and disposed of a good deal of business. John Ed- gar and W. Cole, on the eligible list of truckmen, were removed from the substitute list. Edgar was charged with leaving the quarters of engine company 1 without permission on the night of January 1, and Cole with leaving truck company house -No. 18 without permission or notifying any one of the fact. J. Vincent of truck company 7, after being transferred to engine company 35, returned to his old company and had an altercation with his captain.’ A complaint of being under the in- fluence of liquor and using Insolent language to his captain was made. The board ordered charges to be pre- ferred against him. Charges were also ordered to be preferred against E, Cosgrove of truck company 8, who was alleged to have been under the influence of liquor while on duty. For failing to report for duty at the cxpiration of a leave of absence W. Collins of truck com- pany 8 was suspended and the board, in view of his being a new man in the department, referred his case to the Chief., James Skinner, engine com- pany 80, and William Conlon, engine company 88, were deprived of five days' pay for being under the influ- ence of liquor. The San Francisco team will meet the Alameda Eagles on the ground at Seventh avenue and California street in this city. The game should be a good one, as both teams are keen and have improved considerably since the opén- ing of the season. The Independents will play the Santa Cruz team at Freeman's Park, Golden Gate, and the Vampires will meet the Oakland Hornets on the cricket grounds at Webster street and Seventh avenue, AJameda. This last will be the Ikeenesl match of the day, for the Hor- net eleven is weakened by the absence of H. R. Elliot, the captain and full- back, and the Vampires by the loss of E. M. Petersen, generally considered the strongest fullback in the league. The Vampires always play their best at Alameda, where they are on their | home ground. For two weeks the Vampires and Hornets stood at the head of the league, each having ten points, but the Hornets, having won their match last, Sunday, while the Vamplre-Independent contest came tc an end by the bursting of the ball, now have 12 points to the Vampires’ 10.. The Alblon Rovers have come up to second place with 11 points. As there ' were no championship matches on Sunday, December 24, Christmas day or New Year's day, and the Independent-Vampire match on De- cember 31 ended without result, only three league games have been played during the past two weeks.

As the misfiap occurred on the home ground of the Independents, the league officials decided that techni- cally the game was forfeited by the Independents, whose duty it was to pro- vide a sound ball for the match. The Vampires, however, did not wish to win a game on a technical point, and at their request the match will be re- played, February 25 being set as the date. To obviate the recurrence of the mishap, the league officials have made a rule that the home team, on whose ground a match is played, must not only provide a playable ball, but must also have a ball In reserve. . At the last meeting of the C. A. F. League it was decided that the regis- tration of a player, which must be in the hands of the secretary five days before he takes part in a match, is con- sidered as having reached the secretary on the date stamped by the receiving postoffice. A general meeting of the league will be called to consider ways and means of providing handsomer and the game he has been 'playing looks good enough to carry off the hon- ors. His defeat of Herbert Long last Monday put him in first place with a clean score. He has won three matches and has not suffered a defeat. H. Long has won a like number of matches, but has a defeat chalked up against him. Many are of the opinion that H. Long has the best chance against Foley. If the latter loses a match and Long wins his three remaining matches they will be tied for first place. Griffin unfortun- ately was ill on the first day and lost two matches he might otherwise have won, colors look the best. ‘While Foley has four matches to play it is more than likely he will win all of them. He has played high-class tennls | so far and If he keeps it up none of his rivals has a license to bea: him. It is extremely doubtful if Adams will be able to play to-morrow. He has been on crutches with a badly swollen ankle and the chances are he will not be able to appear. He has played only two matches and has five to play. Adams should have met Foley and M. Long last Monday. Busch and Rolfe ‘falled to play a scheduled match on New Year’'s day. These three matches will be the first disposed of if possible. No schedule has been arranged for to-morrow's games. Aside from the three matches mentioned the following remain to be played: H. Long vs. Rolfe; H. Long vs. Busch; H. Long vs. Griffin; Schmidt vs. M. Long; Schmidt vs. Foley; Schmidt vs. Adams; Rolfe vs. Adams; Rolfe vs. M. Long; M. Long vs. Busch; Adams vs. Grifin; Foley vs. Griffin; Busch. About half the foregoing matches will be played to-morrow. The order ot play will be determined by the com- | mittee in the morning. Following is the standing of the contestants: Games Wea. Lost.

Next Thursday, the 1lst inst., will be club day for the ladies of the San Fran- cisco Golf and Country Club. On Tues- day, the 16th inst., there will be con- tests in driving and approach-putting.

It is said that in England (with the exception of London), Wales and Scot- land a strong feeling against Sunday | golfing is spreading, and that not enly. among outsiders, but among golfers themselves. Quite acrimonious discus- sions are taking place as to the right ness and propriety of playing golf on | the Sabbath, and there is talk of closing | some courses on Sunday. In Secotland the Sabbatarians have won the day, but at the Scarborough Club in Eng- | 1and, to which the famous playsr, Har- {ry Vardon, was once attached, it was | decided recently that six days in the | week are not enough for golf and that play should be permitted on the sey- enth. The people of the village near the Scarborough links met and protest- :ed against what they thought an out- | rage. The members of the club then restricted themselves to afternoon golf jand employed no caddies. Several | clergymen of the district protested, and |one. who was also a member of the | committee of the Scarborough Club, went further. Six of the eighteen holes ! are laild out on his glebe land. and the | parson announced that while he can- {not stop members altogether from ! playing golf on Sundays, he can and will stop them from piaying over the { six holes on his glebe land.
