The committees of the San Fgancisco Golf and Country Club for the coming season will be ready for announcement shortly. The three committees, each consisting of three men, to be appoint- ed are the house, tournament and green. Of these three the house committee is the most important, especially at the present stage of affairs.

The new club- house is more fully and elaborately equipped than the old one and offers greater accommodations. The sort of famlly regime hitherto obtalning is hardly suited to the present condition of the club. On the first day of next month the club will enter upon a new era, §nd will be under the control of a manager as other social clubs are. The catering department will be a club af- fair, the manager’'s services being com- pensated by a regular salary. During the week of the California Women Golfers’ Association tourna- ment the arrangeménts will be super- vised by various ladies of the San Francisco Golf and Country Club, one taking charge of the decorations and another of the starting of the plavers. e SPORT LINITED (WA - TO ONE DY WILL ATTEND Owing to the Unfavorable|Second Annual Dinner of Principal Club Will At- tract a Large Gathering The demand for tickets for the seo- ond annual dinner of the Automoblle Club of California at the Hotel B8t Francis on Saturday evening, the 27th Inst, is so great that those members who fail to make early application are likely to be disappointed. ; The club has 500 members, nearly all of whom reside in San_ Francisco, as the automobilists whose homes are In Oakland, San Jose, Stockton or else- where belong to their home clubs. As the white-and-gold room of the St. Fran- cis seats only 300 persons and in this number are to. he.included several in- vited guests, such as Supervisors and other municipal officers, It is evident there will be no unoccupied chairs. Many of the famous automobile rac- ing professionals were formerly cicycle riders, but so. far no Jjockeys have taken up motor-car racing. Now, how- ever, it is reported that the famous Jockey, Danny Maher, who has had a brilliant turf career, jas signed a con- tract to race for tl R. Thomas Motor Company of lalo. One of that firm's touring cars will be fitted with a racing body and Danny er. will learn to manipulate the levers and steering wheel. It remains to be seen whether successful jockeys will dis- play the nerve necessary for an auto- mobile racer. Some of the bicycling men, after learning the mechanism of the cars, did not become good opera- tors, the-fast work on the track prov- ing too much for mam: Chief Deputy Assessor Resigns, William Kline, Chief Deputy Assessor under Washington . resigned his position yesterday to acceépt a place under the new consolidated gas com- panies. Kline has been in the Asses- sor's office for geven Vears. Dodge has appolnted William succeed him.

SHIP IN THE TOURNEY THAT IS {n“, LINKS AT INGLESIDE. FEW GO0D MEN NOW 1§ SICHT Manager Who Takes Charge of the San Francisco Team Will Have Troubles . Whoever takes the burden of man- aging the San Francisco baseball team this year will have to do a bit of hustling in order to get hold of some good men. Stars are going to be as scarce this season as plug hats in the branch County Jail. Practically®all the good men who were favorites with the fans here last season have been either sold or drafted in the big leagues, the same condition of affalrs prevailing in the other minor organizations through- out the country. The people of San Francisco want first-class baseball. It will have to be Detter this season than ever before in this village, but how are the fans go- ing to get it unless the manager first secures the players? Even money won't buy them, for all the good ones already reserved by the National and American leagugs cannot be purchased at any price, so hard were they to secure. Magnate Clunie goes on record as saying he will not let the price stand in the way. But the price will not indica- tions. All the men let g0 by the big leagues are not fast enough for this company. Generally, when a star has lived out his usefulness In fast com- pany he Is all in. We have had them here in other years and the fans are so wise they will not stand for them any more. ~ Bush leaguers will not do here eith~ HONORS HAMPIONSHIP THE PRIZE WTURE SWES [CAPIAL (Y CAE BIRDS| MATCH IS OFF Heavy Storm Seatters the)Vampire Footballers Ducks and Clubmen Aban- Scheduled to don the Shooting Lodges SEASON NEARS ITS END|“INDIES"TACKLE Conditions on Preserves Are Such as to Spoil Sport for Some Time The storm which has deluged the State during the past week has put an effectual stop to all duck shooting over the baited ponds of preserves. The ducks can now find feed in abundance fn the open country and the choicest bait has no charms for them: Nature will do more for the preser- vation of game for the next few weeks than all the constituted authorities. The majority of the men who own pre- serves on the Sulsun marshes and else- where have closed thelr shooting lodges for the season and will mak&no effort to avail of its remaining days. The season will close officially on Feb- ruary 15. The last two Sundays bave been blanks for the sportsmen, the ducks! having deserted the preserved district | and betaken themselves to the grain | fields in the vicinity of Los Banos, Men- dota and Newmans. The rains have been so heavy and fresh feed will be so plentiful that the ducks are not ex- pected back here in any numbers. Jack Karney and Ed Schultz tried their luck at Sears Point last Sunday. TO BE HELD NEXT WEEK ON They bagged but five birds between them. The members of the Alameda Club had a fair shoot on their Sonoma pre- serve. No large bags were made, but all had some birds. At the conclusion of the fleld trial at Bakersfield a number of the sport: men secured limit bags on qualil S. Christenson, F. H. Jermyn and John Erickson had a fine shoot, each bagging twenty-five birds. Henry Keller and a friend went down to Lakeside, where they secured the limit on quall, besides fifty-four ducks and some geese. Frank Maygr shot over R. M. Dodge's favorite pointer and also secured the limit on quail. The fishermen have had their favor- ite streams closed to them, asthe Rus- sian River Is bank high, while the Paper Mill is also a raging sorrent. From the amount of snow in the Si- erras the Truckee River and other trout streams will be a long time regaining their normal condition. The longer in- to the season the cgnditions for fishing remains unfavorabfe the beter it will be for the trout, which will thus have better chances to escape from thelr ene- mies, the fishermen. Blily Hynes caught three striped bass in the San Antone last Sunday. The largest weighed 16 pounds. W. Bliss also caught three. —_——— Daté Set for Benefit Ball Game. The game of baseball between a team made up of members of the Fire and Police Departments and the Presidio team for the benefit of Jack MecCor- mick, originally set for the 14th inst., will be played at Recreation Park on February 4 % —_— er, unless one happens to be a phenom like Chase, Nagle or Hitt who makes good from -the start. This class of bushers, however, is Kard t& unearth, for not one out of Avery twenty signed up makes good with the fans till it is too late to pull the team out of the rut. Many of them prove so unreliable both fans and managers are par- ticular about taking a chance with this class of players any more. i Are Encounter Eleven From Santa Cruz ROVERS California Union to Take Action on Obstrepel:ous Conduct of the Albions e Four games of association football are scheduled for to-morrow. Ome of these is a friendly encounter between | the Oakland Hornet Reserves and the Vampire Reserves on the cricket ! ground at Alameda, while the other three are regular matches for the 1906-1906 cham- plonship of the California Assoolation Football League. The Vampires will play against Santa Cruz on the cricket ground at Alameda, L. H. Isern being the referes, The In dependents will meet the Oakland Hornets at Freeman's Park, Golden Gate, C. W. Irish being the eree. The San Francisco eleven will encoun~ ter the Albion Rovers on the Presidio athletic ground, W. E. Owens, formerly captain of the Independents, being the referee. In all these games the ball will be kicked off at 2:30 p. m. Though two of the matches sched- uled for last Sunday—the Hownet va Santa Cruz, and the Sacramento ve. Sen Francisco games, were not played. and consequently no change took place in the mumber of points gained by these four teams, yet the two matches which were played—the Rover-Vampire and the Eagle-Independent games, mads some changes of position in the table of results. The Hornets are still at the head with 14 points, but the Vam- pires, by defeating the Albion Rovers, gained second place, the Rovers drop- ping to fourth. The Independents woa their game from the Eagles by the largest number of goals (ten) made In any match this season, and gained third place, the San'Franciscos, whosa match 4gainst the Sacramento team at Sacra- mento was postponed by the league committee, dropping to fifth position. The Sacramento, Santa Cruz and Eagle clubs remain in the same positions as befpre. The table shows the results in detail: CLUBS.

As Rovers were willing to play at m., the league desires that t mente club should offer to repl game, and this will doubtless The Albion Rovers will In that A | again occupy a good position with .gard to this season’'s championship of the léague. Last Sunday’s match between the Albion Rovers and the Vampires at Ala- meda came to an abrupt conc n. During the first perfod neither side scored. Early in the second period the Rovers put the ball into the net, but as the Vampire backs were playing well up the fleld the Rover forwards we: offside and Referee Fewster did not al- low the goal. The Albion supperters on the side lines made a great deal of noise and subjected the referee to much abuse. When Schmid, the Vampire for- ward, put a long shot inte the Ro goal and the Rover goalkeeper n..“...‘y it, the referee awarded a goal to & Vampires. The Rovers, seeing an al- most certain defeat, became furious and the referee was surrounded by membe of the team and its supporters. Ly don of the Rovers used strong language to the referee and struck at him, where- upon he was ordered to leave the fleld. As he refused to go, the referee sound- ed his whistle and awarded the game to the Vampires. The matter will come before the union for decision. What will probably happen will be that Ly- don will be suspended for the rest of the season and the team will retire. The Rovers are unfortunate in having many Iinjudicious supporter: who, & their noisy and Intemperate language. tend to annoy the quiet spectator and to encourage the players in bad prac- tices. The Independents have lost their ex- cellent goalkeeper, Harry Antrobus, who has gome over to the San Fran- clsco club. John MecClelland and Wil- liam Hood have been registered with the Hornets and S. J. Davis and Alfred E. Mabey with the Albion Rovers. The executive committee of the Call- fornia Association Football League will hold a meeting next Wednesday even- ing, the 23d inst, at Foresters’ Hall, O'Farrell street.
