It is also possible ~if there should be a continued spell of wet weather prior to the track meet simi- lar to that experienced last year, thel Stanford oval will be in such poor shape that 1t would be impossible to hold the event here at all. This deplorable state of affairs was announced by Dr. Frank: Angel, the senior member of the Faculty Training House Corporation. The proposed track would cost in the neighborhood - of $1000. The corporation has several large debts outstanding incurred through the construction of the new foot- ball fleld. These debts, which consist of three notes of $1000 each, are held by members of the faculty. One is due soon and as at present there is but ap- proximately $800 in the student bedy treasury, It is evident that nothing can be done about the construction of an- other athfetic field. Dr. Angel criti- cizes the carelessness shown by the student body in failing to pay their as- sessments promptly.

The player who makes the best score in the quali- fying round will receive the silver medal of the Northern California Golf Association. The sixteen players who qualify will be paired according to their order in the qualifying round, number 1 with number 9, number 2 with number 10 and so on. The first match play round, over eighteen holes, will begin at 9:30 on Washington’s birthday, and the sec- ond round at 1:30 on the same day, both rounds being over eighteen holes. The third or semi-final round will be played on Saturday, February 24, at 2, and the final round over thirty-six holes on February 25, the first eighteen holes beginning at 10 and the second eighteen at 1:30. The winner will be the champion of the Northern Califor- nia Golf Association for 1905 and will recelve the gold medal of the assocla- tion; the runner-up will get the silver medal, and the losers in the semi-final round will each receive the bronze medal of the association. The present holder of the championship is A. G. Harvey of the San Rafael Golf Club, who won it in 1908 on the San Rafael course and also in 1904 on the same course, with W. P. Johnson of the Claremont Country Club as runner-up on both occasions. The competition in 1904 was over thirty-six holes, medal play, Harvey’s score being 43, 44, 48, 47; total 182. Last year’s competition was held on May 7. ¥ A consolation event open to the eight players next below the sixteen who qualify for the match play round.of the championship will be held on Washing- ton’s birthday, over thirty-six holes, medal play, the first eighteen beginning at 10 and the second eighteen at 2:30, the winner to take a trophy offered by the Northern California Golf Associa- tion. In case of a tie for the last place In the eight, it will be decided in the same way and at same date and place as a tie for *the sixteenth place in the qualifying round for the cham plonship event. The house tournament and green committees of the San Francisco Golf and Country Club for the coming year have not yet been appointed. J. W. Byrne will be captain. ——————————— Not Entitled to Architects’ I'ces. City Attorney Burke yesterday ren- dered an opinion to the effect that the lclaim of Martens & Coffey for the preparation of plans and specifications for a City and County Hospital pro- posed to be constructed under the bond issue of 1899 is not valid. Burke calls attention to the fact that a resolution allowing the firm named the usual and customary- fee _allowed to .architects upon acceptance’ and approval of their plans was vetoed by a former Mayor, and in face of that veto they cannot be allowed any compensation. Burke further says that if suit is brought to | 3;59!”)‘1}«::.5& of ht:‘c én the city Jsuccessfully e statul g o Dlea ; te of o meda in keeping the play clean. Last Sunday's matches made no dif- ference in the positions of the three leading clubs, except that the Oakland Hornets increased their lead over the Albion Rovers. The Vampires are still one point behind the Rovers. Though both the Independents and the San Francisco eleven won their matches and have the same number of points (9) to their credit, the San Franclsco club has the better of it, having played only seven matches, while the Independents have played eight. Between the five leading teams and the three in the rear there is‘a wide gap, which can hardly be bridged during the present season. The three tail-enders, Sacra- mento, Santa Cruz and the Alameda Eagles, stand in the order named, each having three points, but the Sacramento team has lost only five matches, while the Santa Cruz eleven has lost six and the Eagles have been beaten in seven. The Alblon Rovers forfeited the match against the Sacramento team, scheduled for last Sunday at the cap- ital city. The Rovers desired that the match should begin at 12:30 in Oak Park, so that they might have no dif- ficulty in returning to San Francisco by the 8:40 train. The Sacramento club, however, had advertised the game to begin at 2:30, so as to attract a crowd of spectators, As Oak Park is owned by the street-car company, an effort is made to get as large an attend- ance as possible. The Rovers late in the week consented to play at 3:30, but it was then too late for them to get a team together. The match, therefore, went by default, the Sacramneto club scoring two points and adding one to their goal score, As the Albion Rovers were.at liberty last Sunday, several of them watched the game played at Alameda between the Hornets and the Vampires and say that, judging the Hornets by their form on that occasion, they feel gure they can beat them. H. R. El- liot, the Hornet's captain, played full- back as usual last Sunday, but he has recovered so recently from illness that he is not in proper condition yet. He will not appear in the lineup to-mor- row. The breach between the Referees Union and the Albion Rovers has been healed .and the matter dropped. The Rovers appointed a committee to exam- ine the corresponderice that passed be- tween their secretary and the secretary of the California Referees’ Unlon and| sent in a long report of their findings, expressing regret that any misunder- .standing should have arisen and dis- claiming entirely responsibility for re- marks made by their president and sec- etary as merely personal matters be- tween them and the officials of the Ref- erées’ Union. The executive committes of the Referees’ Union accepted the re- port and the incldent was cle ; e work on the Pacific Coast Asso- ciation Football League, the matches ich will be played ‘on Saturday afternoons, is progressing. Arthur Robinson, who is devoting much pains to developing the league, expects to have the following and some other clubs included in the Hornet ‘ oims gt el general fund. = 2 During vacation the old 'track has been repaired to a certain extent, but is much worn and generally out of con- dition. Trainer Dad Moulton states that unless the work on the new field is started this spring it will besim- practicable to attempt it before another year. It takes, he claims, at least one rainy season to settle the track thor- oughly and grading done in the summer time Is never satisfacto: —_—————————— HORSES OF FIRE DEPARTMENT ARE IN DISABLED CONDITION Chief Sullivan Says That Something Must Be Done to Get Animals for the Service. There are so many disabled and aged horses in the Fire Department that Chief Sullivan declares that something must be done immediately to relieve the condition. The lack of funds for ap- paratus in the department is the cause. But $18,000 was given by the Finance Committee for this year, being but about one-half what was needed. The Fire Commissioners realize that some- thing must be done and a committee will wait on the Mayor in an effort to bring about a remedy for the existing conditions. At the meeting of the board yesterday the matter was dis- cussed and it was shown that horses had to be changed from chemicals to fire engines in some cases. Two truclgmen were before the board yesterday for intoxication and both were found guilty and fined. Jules Vincent of Truck Company 7 reported for duty intoxicated and abused the captain of the company. He was fined twenty days' pay. P. J. Cosgrove of Truck Company 8 wended his way Into his firehouse on December 30 in a like condition and he‘loses twelve days’ pay as a result. — & of California; Seamen's Institute of San Francisco, Mount Tamalpals Mili- tary Academy and Hitchcock's School at San Rafael, Brewer's Academy at San Mateo, Pirates of East Oakland, Boone's University Academy at Berke- ley, Richmond.

As it stands now, Charles Foley ?Df the Golden Gate Club is almost a sure winner. He has two matches to play, but is in little danger of losing either. Foley had played five matches and won them all, and is expected to emerge from the event with a clean score. Foley has unquestionably played the best tennis and has proved he is the clev- erest player of the year. He has never met Coast Champion Janes, but as the latter declined the invitation to compets Foley will be looked upon by followers of the game as the strongest player in the city. Janes has been beaten repeat- edly by players who have in turn been taken into camp by Foley. Janes would have had an excellent chance to beat Foley had he entered the tournament, and many are of the opinion that he made a mistake in not doing so. Foley played remarkably good tenmis throughout the tournament, and will eventually make one of the best players ever turned out on this coast. He is unusually steady and Is fast acquiring speed. His only weakness at present is his back-hand. If he continues to im- prove in the next six months as he has in the last he will make a clean sweep of the various championships this year. The tournament would have been com- pleted to-morrow but for the substitution of Carl Gardner for Fred Adams last Sunday. Nine matches remain to be played, in five of which Gardner is one of | Eagle.

Greyhounds must be trained and put in first-class shape now 1f the owners the long end of purses. expect to zet Heretofore but little training and a charge of ofl were all that was necessary to send some entries into the final. Dogs to Mn%owadays have to do so on merit. "The relief dog is used on Sundays, but not until the coursers have had fully two minutes of running. The stakes run on this day call for the best dogs, and the owners of these valuable animals take no chances with their charges by starting them when they are not in shape. The Derby 18 expected to be one of th: principal coursing events of the presen year. It is scheduled to be run in a few Weeks, and the greatest dogs in the coun try will Hkely go to the slips. At t present time there is a bevy of high clas animals running, and to show which champion would settle many argument which are heard on the coursing fle among the leashmen. There are Panoc!

Long, M. Long vs. Gardner, M. Long vs. Busch, Rolfe vs. Gardner, Busch and Gardner vs. H. Long. H. Long is a close second to Foley, and will be in that position when the tourna- ment is over.
