OAKLANDERS WIN
The Inter-Club Football
Championship.
OLYMPIANS ARE DEFEATED
By the Reliance Club From
Across the Bay
IN A ONE-SIDED STRUGGLE.
The City Club Team Was HopelessIy
OutcIassed and Outplayed at
Every Point.
IN A ONE-SIDED STRUGGLE.

Chrysanthemum McPike OF Oakland
came across the bay yesterday with his
Reliance Club football aggregation.
McPike is the 1.-THE quarterback of the
team who enjoys the distinction of having
developed the best football bang that ha.
been seen in the city this year-a true
chry ysanthemum bang-and perhaps his
bang is better than his football, but still
he plays fine game, and he aud his com.
patriots put up such fine bail yesterday
that the Olympic Club men, who scored on
the Stanfords. were unable to make @
point.
The score was Is to 0.
-Four touchdowns but only one goal was
The result of the Oaklanders' work. They
thus carried the club championship across
the bay with ease.
Those who wondered at the Berkeley
college boys being beaten by the Reliance
team few weeks since wondered less
af ter seeing the latter play yesterday.
The strongest team on the coast to-day
is the Reliance If 1t were but in good con-
diton.
Strong. mature men of might make up
the eleven. and their coach, Norton. has
taught hem how to play football, too.
With who ah, who ah, who ah! We
ah, we alb. we ah! r. A. C.W by the
teams enthusiastic supporters, the Reli-
ance boys put the ball in play a few min
uteS after p NJ.
The supporters, ale and female. of the
two clubs were out in full force. Ii was 4
beautiful afternoon, but ere the game was
finished fog waited in from old ocean, and
the last OF the contest was finished in the
cleaning.
The Reliance wedge at the kickoff
gained five yards. Frick made fifteen
yards. Taylor bucked the line thrice for
good gains and five minutes after the COM
msncement of play Taylor placed the ball
over the touch line, under the goal-pOsts,
and minute later kicked the goal, scoring
points for the Reliance team.
The Olympics gained eight yards on the
second kickoff, but on the second play
Sullivan broke through and took the ball
from the Olympic quarterback.
Edwards made twenty yards for the Re-
lance around the right end, Frick made
five yards and again eight yards and Ed
wards made fifteen yards and again four
yards.
The Olympics finally secured the bali on
the fourth down. but lost 1t without any
gain being made. Frick made ten yards,
but lost the ball, and Tobin kicked thirty
yards for the Olyrnpics
Frick, Taylor and Edwards made sue
cessiye gains for four yards for Oakland.
The Olympics then secured the ball on the
down, and TObin's shoe again sent the
sphere forty yards down the field, but the
Reliance players soon carried it back.
Frlck first passed one emo for a gain, then
Edwards did likewise around another
end ,and Taylor bucked the center
Edwards, by a brilliant run and a series
of rolls, scored the second touchdown, and
Taylor failed to kick the goal.
The Olympics braced up for few
minutes after the third kickoff and rushed
the ball steadily down the field. bu. lost It
on the 25-yard line. Edwards gained
twenty yards and again seven yards. Bert
Oliver, taking the ball from Edwards.
made twenty yards more. placing the ball
on the Olympics' 20-yard line.
Frlck made half the distance to the goal
and FELTON, Taylor bucked the line for the
oiher ten yards and the touchdown. Sulli-
van caught, heele / and punted out well.
but the goal kick failed. 5 ore, IA too.
In the second half the Olympics played
better ball. The Oaklanders started in
strongly and rushed the oval down to the
olympic 2o-yard line. There the ball was
lost to the Olympics and Tobin kicked into
touch. The Oaklanders soon obtained the
leather, however. Frick went around the
right end for fifteen yards and again for
five yards. Edwards placed the ball on
the fve-yard line and Taylor bucked the
center for the two yards. No goal resulted
and the score still remained 18 to O.
The Olympic team was clearly out
matched. For Oakland, Taylor, Frck.
Edwards and Bert Oliver played a fine
individual game, and the team as whole
played fairly well together. giving an ex-
hibiiOn at times of as fiDe interference as
has been seen at Central Park this season.
Aiken. Olney ard Racine also played
hne game. especially Aiken. who broke
through the line we'll and stopped q num-
ber of runs and kicks.
For the city players Cassidy played the
best game of the backs. though both Morse
and Miley made some good plays. The
Olympic line failed 10 hold their men, so
that nearly all of Tobin's attempts to kick
were more or less spoiled.
When playing in the line Tobin had
hard work to hold Bert Oliver. Sherrard
played his usual good game. The team as
whole lacked that unity of play which
comes only of much practice andicoachipg,
The lineup was as follows:
