a Match Between Kitchen and Johnson Nay
Be Consummated-A Celebrated Pointer
Dog Coming TO the Coast,

The Stanford University Glee Club gave
an entertainment recently for the benefit Of
the college football team and Melted s125.
A portion of this sum will be expended in
the cons truetion of football ground large
enough to accommodate the players. The
field en- which the kckers now practice is
altogether too small for the purpose in
tended.
Although several fruitless attempts have
been made by the captains representing the
Berkeley University and Olympic Club of
this city to arrange series Of games with
the Stanford athletes, Ii is said that the
latter have been practicing daily with view
of playing a team from the University OF
Iowa for the championship of the West. the
games to be played either In Denver or this
city.
The VARSITY football manager has re-
ceived a challenge from the Iowans, and
although no definite arrangements have as
vet been consummated, il is thought that
the def will be accepted by the Stanford
college athletes so as TO avoid meeting and
3 defeat against either the Berkeley or
Olympic football teams.
The following players will represent the
Olympic and the University of California
clubs in a game Of intercollegiate football

In the report OF last Fridays game OF
football at Cent - Park between the Pacific
Wanderers and Thistle clubs it was stated
that the game at the finish stood three points
10 nothing in favor Of the Thi5tles. 1t
should have read two points to nothing in
the latter's favor. At the next meeting OF
the teams the Wanderers" will have q
strong team in the field, as the weak play
Brs will be weeded out, aud their places
filed by strong able-bodied young men who
thoroughly understand the game of kick
and run.
The Olympic Club has been trying for a
long time 10 secure a match between Jack
Kitchen of the Acme Club of Oakland and
John johnson. the boxing instructor OF the
Sacramento Athletic Club. AS johnson is
a professional, q match between him and

In answer to a query: Dan OLeary, the
pedestrian. defeated John Hughes in the
second six days race for the Ashley belt,
which trophy had been won by O'Leary
when first contended for In London, Eng
land. The second race took place in New
York City in 1873. and the third race for the
belt was won by Charles Rowell in the fall
Of 1879
Ii now transpires that the race between
O'Connor and Hanlan and Gaudaur and
Hosmer was not bona fde. correspon-
dent of the New York Clipper says: Con
sidering that the elements were unfavora-
bic and that the winners finished easily
some seven lengths ahead. in Is min. and
81 secs, proves conelusively that either the
distance was short of tho stated three
miles or the timing was decidedly incor-
rect"
A letter received by a prominent local
sportsman, a few days ago. from Toronto,
says that HRDlan and 0'ConnOr could have
won If they had desired.
