The most spirited game of polo of the present season kept a large crowd keyed up to the highest pitch of excitement yes- terday afternoon on Charles Clark’s field, San Mateo. It was won by the Reds over the Whites by a score of 4 to 2 after four periode. It was the final contest of a se- ries of three, each team having won & previous game. The great drives made by Walter Ho- bart and the superb manner in which he | was backed up by his team mates—R. Tobin, Cyril Tobin and Peter Mn.rUn— proved the undoing of the Whites.

Scott’s recent winner of | the John Grace Challenge Cup, won his first stake on the Ingleside sward yes~ terday by annexing the champlon event of twenty-four entries. The fust son of Promise Me was at his best and the honors were won purely on merit. In the final, when he hooked up with Jim Sweeney's good dog, Richard An- ton, the latter was handicapped by ex- periencing hard going, though the talent did not take any chances with the black greyhound and they only of- fered 2 to 1 that he would be beaten. The result of the race showed that Anton was somewhat exhausted, as Scott’s entry went to the hare in front of his competitor by a good margin | and in the mix-up that followed he won easily by a score of 8§ to 8 Another dog that showed to advantage was E. Preston’s Lady Kelp, which went to the hare on even terms with the stake win- ner. Carlow Boy went into the semi- final round end was beaten by the run- ner-up. Darkness set in and the class stake was postponed until next Sunday. Flower Girl, from the kennel of M. C. Callan, looked like the ultimate win- ner had the day’s running been finished.

Just as soon as.the ball was tossed into | the’ fleld by Referee J. O. Tobin the fun commenced. After two minutes of skir- mishing, in which some pretty hooking | and defensive plays were pulled off, Wal- | ter Hobart managed to corral the ball. With two well-executed strokes he dis- patched it squarely between the goal posts, scoring the first point for the Reds. But the Whites came right back with another. The ball was worked up and down the field several times by each team when Johnt Lawson made a beautiful | drive for the Whites. Paul Clagstone was awaiting his chance, and when within about ten feet of the post he cornered the i ball after Lawson's nice drive and tallied | one for the Whites. | Captain Seymour, the British expert, opened up the second period for the Whites by working the ball down nearly to the goal. But the Reds were alert, and Hobart, seeing his chance, rode right i in and by a pretty block saved the goal. BShortly after Walter Martin put the Reds in front again by tallying another gdal. This ga¥e them renewed courage and they started in strong. Cyril Tobin' managed to work the ball well along the field. Ho- bart then dashed up and scored another point by two brilllant strokes from near the center of the sward. The final goal for the victors was also made in this half, when Dick Tobin drove the ball over. The Whites came up for a dying stand in the third period and managed to score the final point of the game. The ball was being followed all over the fleld and some lively skirmishes resulted, in which the eight players shared the honors. Finally | the ball was worked over to John Law- son, and having a clear field in front of him he drove it home for the last point of the contest. The fourth period was full of skirmishes and mixups, the defensive play being so strong that not a goal was scored. The two English players, Major Bulkeley Johnson and Captain Archibald S8eymour, ehowed to advantage here, as well as dur- ing the first three perlods. Paul Clag- stone kept after Walter Hobart through- out and did some very pretty riding off. It 1s likely that another game will be played on Thursday afternoon, as both Johnson and SeymolT will depart at the end of the week.

A, SMYTH. BAKERSFIBELD, Jan. 7.—Owners and handlers of sporting dogs are gathering here in numbers for the twenty-third an- nual meet of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club, which will be inaugurated to-mor- row with the Derby for pupples. The crack setters and pointers have been here for weeks in charge of their handlers, and have been brought to a high standard of intelligence and condition. ‘W. J. Baughn of Ridgeville, Ind., who will officiate as judge during the trials, has been on the ground several to familiarize himself with the habits of the California quail. He was in the field with | Cuba Zep and proved a clever shot once | he became accustomed to their flight. He made some singles and a double in a workmanlike manner. This is his first | visit to California, his past actlvitles in field trials ‘having been in the Middle West. The birds are said to be unusually plen- tiful, a condition which has not prevailed at any Eastern trials during the past sea- son. A number of the club members drove over the preserve to-day and flushed a lot of birds. There is a great deal more ground to cover than at any time for years, and the birds should lie well. H. L. Betten and J. H. Schumachef have been selected as associate judges to assist Judge Baughn. The first brace of dogs will be put down In section 1§ af 9 o'clock to-morrow. Many enthusiasts are expected, both from the north and the south, to-morrow, while others will arrive Tuesday in time to witness the final heats of the Derby.

Of the entries eleven are pointers and eleven English setters. Last year the setters were in the majority. In addition to the three tro- phies there will be $640 in coin. This is the second largest stake run in America this season, belng exceeded in value by the American Field Futurity. Fifty per cent goes to the winner, 30 per cent to the runner-up and 20 per cent to the third dog. This money usually goes to the bandler, the owner taking the trophy to commemorate the event.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Jack O'Brien, the conqueror of Bob Fitzsimmons, ar- rived in New York this morning from Boston, but he did not hold the soiree that his press agent promised he would at the Waldorf-Astoria. In fact the knight errant of pugilism was -forced to put in the greater part of the day hunting for a hotel where he could be accommodated. With him were his sister, Miss Sadle Hagan; a small, fat secretary; his man, “Mortimah,” and twenty-five trunks. He was barred from both the Wal- dorf-Astoria and the Netherelands Hotel, where he protested loudy that he would appeal to the courts for re- dress, —_—————— South’s Lesson From Fever Scare. The South has learned some valuable lessons and will profit by them. The panic caused by the first announcement of the fever in some of the interlor towns had the excuse t the disease had been Very destructive to life in the past, and 1o one could say with any assurance that it would not be as bad this time as here- tofore. Now that it has been shown that we can by simple sanitary means reduce the damage to a minimum the panicky feeiing will gradually wear off and the Southwest will in future adopt these measures of precaution against the fever, even more effective in kee, it out than in crushing it out.

VETERAN FOOTBALLERS EAGER FOR THE FRAY Heston of Michigan Plans to Pit the West Against the East. DETROIT, Jan. 7.—Willam Martin Heston, the famous Michigan halfback, has outlined a plan for a game be- tween the cld football stars of the West and East, which is to be played in New York next Thanksgiving day, and ideas for the first great professional football game In this country now seem to be in good working order. Heston has picked the following men as representatives of the West: Center, Strathearn (Minnesota); guards, Flynn (Minnesota) and McGuigan (Michigan); tackles, Curtis (Michigan) and Mad- dock (Michigan); ends, Catlin (Chi- cago) and Redden (Michigan); quarter- back, Eckersall (Chicago); halves, He: ton (Michigan) and Findley (Wiscon- sin); fullback, Bezdek (Chicago). Favorable replies have been received from almost every one of these players. Heston also has been doing some good work on the Eastern team and the following men have been asked to teke part: Dewitt, Princeton, and Hogan or Glass of Yale, guards; Shelvin, Yale, and Glaze, Dartmouth, ends; Daly, Harvard and West Point, quarter; Mor- ley and Weeks, Columbia, halves, and Smith, Pennsylvania, fullback. Center and tackles have not been dec’ded upon and some of the men picked have not been heard from. It is said Heston is backed financially by some mysterious millionaire. —_————————— LIVELY HANDBALL PLAYED ON OLYMPIO CLUB COURTS Tournament Is Now Narrowing Down to the Fimals and Is Arousing Great Interest.

The San Francisco eleven proved too strong for the Alameda Eagies yesterday at the Seventh avenue and California street grounds. In the first period the San Francisco eleven put the ball into the net four times, while the Eagles scored only once. In the second period neither team played so energetically as in the first half, the San Francisco eleven adding one more goal, while the score of the Bagles remained ' unchanged. The San Franciscos had the best of the play, their forwards repeatedly passing the Eagles' backs and shooting for goal. Richter was successful in clearing sev- eral times, and once, when the ball was dropped just in front of goal from a cor- ner kick, the San Francisco forwards hampered him so much that Referee Isern disallowed the goal. For the win- ners Burns and Finnegan rendered good service. The game closed with the score: San Francisco § goals, Eagles 1 goal. The remarkably clever combination wdtk of the forward line gained for the Independents a clean-cut victory over the Santa Cruz team In the Association foot- ball game at Freeman's Park, Oakland, yesterday afternoon. The Independents wonauimnlcono!1tco. ! In the half Tom Fay, with excel- lent support from the other forwards, kicked five goals, and In the second Peter Fay and Jack Balmain each placed the ball in the net. While there was an ab- sence of brillant individual plays the game proved the Independents have one of the strongest set of forwards in the league. The Santa Cruz team was handicapped by the absence of Nunn, Beachamp and Sharpe, the crack players of the eleven, and was forced to play the game with ten men. the assoclation football contest at Ala- meda yesterday afternoon, the “insects” taking the big end of a 2 to 1 acore from the “bats.”” McKenzle netted the | sphere for the Hornets a few minutes after the referee's whistle sounded the onset.

He was also the winner of the gold medal for making the most first best shots In the yearly competition.

One of the founders of the new order of things in Australia, who has probably contributed more to the realization of fed- eration than any other single politictan now in this country is Sir John Quick, LL.D., who appropriately represents the famous gold flelds of Bendigo in the House of Representatives. The story of his life reads like a page torn from a volume of old romance, and presents a picture of courageous self- help that is not, however, uncommon in the new world.” Sir John Quick is a na- tive of Trevessa, near St. Ives, Cornwall, where he was born on April 14, 1853. He is & descendant of an old-established family of landed proprietors in the great south- ‘western country; but the family migrated to the gold flelds in 1564, where the father’ dled of colonfal faver two years after- ward. As a boy Bir John worked in the mines as a driver, a whipper and a stamp feeder, and while he earned & living by hard toll of twelve or four- teen hours a day, he spent every mo- ment of hi private time reading, studying, learning Latin, Greek and shorthand and otherwise qualifying himself for higher things. He learned typesetting and became a junior re- porter and rose in the ranks of jour- nalism until he secured a place on the staff of the Melbourne Age. In time he bridged the chasm which lay be- tween the mine and the university and passed triumphantly through all the éxaminations of the law and ' arts courses until he obtained the degree of doctor of laws In 1882. In the pre-Federal days he repre- | sented the gold flelds in the State Par- Hament, as he does now in the Federal most fotable of which are “The His- tory of Land Tenure In Victoria™ and “The Annotated Constitution of the Australian Commonwealth,” which is the Bible of the Australian common- originally president of the royal commission ap- pointed by the Federal Government to solve the tariff difficulty now confront- ing the Ministers In Parialment.—Lon- don Mail. i i =z i i i % i & |
