Since Peter Maher, the Irish heavyweight.
made record of putting two fighters to
sleep in one night his stock has advanced 80
per cent in this city. The three clubs are
now bidding for him in the hope of a con-
test between the Irishman and Joe Choyn-
ski.
Billy Woods is now of the opin ion that
green tights is "hOodoo." He says that
when he fights again he will add thistle to
his coiors.
Some betting has been done on the next
fstic encounter which will be at the Cali
furnia Club on the 18th inst, between Patsy
Cardiff and Joe McAuliffe. A well-known
sport said last night that if Cardiff would
don the tights which Billy Woods appeared
in Thursday night, he would lay 500
against $50 on McAuliffe. McAulffe was
present at the Pacific Clubs entertainment.
and he looked first class. He is confident of
winning, although he expects to meet a
powerful opponent in Cardiff.
The Oakland Foot ball Club and the Cali
fornia College Club will have n practice
game OF football this afternoon. The con-
test will take place at Fourth avenue and
Eleventh street, opposite TnbbS' Hotel,
East Oakland. The San Francisco Foot
ball Club is making efforts to obtain the
services of Campbell Pomeroy Of the Oak
land Club for the coming season. TIE
Leland Stanford Jr. University is finding it
pretty hard to raise good team.
The first football game of the season on
this side of the bay will be played at Gen.
trail Park this afternoon between the San
Francisco team and a team from Napa Col
lege. The San Franchises will line up as
follows: Pugh, right end; Reynolds, right
tackle; O'Sulliyan, right guard; Taylor,
center rush; Howard, left guard; Morse,
left half; Harrison, left tackle; Sherrard,
left end; MasticB. quarter back; Tobin,
right half; Ricketts,, full back. The per-
sonnet of the Napa team is not positively
ascertained, but they boast strong one,
seem anxious to meet the champions and
are sanguine of victory.

A New Ide. In Boilers,


A new idea in boiler construction is the
subject Of the following remarks in The
Journal of Building: THAT steam boilers
are subjected to extremely destructive
strains when the furnaces are first started
for raising steam Is due to the fact that
those portions OF the boiler surrounding
the furnace become highly heated. while
the more remote parts remain for long
time comparatively cool. Hence. there IL
uneven expansion Of the metals, and the
consequence is that strains are set up In
the boiler, which shorten its life and are
otherwise very prejudicial To remedy
.as Nj sn gssnoS o.
system, which has had successful practi
cal trial on board merchant vessel. The
arrangement consists in substituting for
the present furnace fronts steam heating
chambers Of the same strength ~ the
boiler. These chambers, which do not in
terfere with the CRATE furnace. are at start
ing filled with water from the bottom of
the boiler. or from any point Of the boiler
where there il no circulation. A small fire

Is neither pressure nor steam used, and as
soon as the circulation ceases BY reason Of

thus be seen that the Arrangement is that
of a combined automatic ctrculator and
Iced water heater, which not only does not
rob the boiler OF steam. but arrests and
