HARKINS' CREW.
Cause for Delay in Paying
the Men.
Promises of Money That Were Not
Redeemed at the Time They
Should Have Been.

Yesterday the crew of the schooner
Nora Harkins were paid off at the office
of the United States Shipping Commits
sioner. 1t had been reported early in the
week that they would have trouble getting
their wages, owing 20 the fact that when
Captain Thomas Hark ms, master and man.
aging owner of the vessel. sailed for
Ecuador he put his money in the Pacific
Bank. which on his return he found closed.
This was not the case. Delay In paying
off the crew WIS due to Captain Harkins'
inability to collect from the vessels agent,
L. h. Minor, large sum of money which
had been paid 10 him on account of the
vessel.
Minor has served as agent for the
schooner, as well as for several lumber
mills, for some time. He received freight
moneys and paid bills.
Last February the schooner left here un-
der charter TO some Eastern capitalists
with mining machinery for Ecuador. Part
OF the freight money was paid prlOr to de-
parture and the balance, $3.50, was to be
PAID TO Minor upon receipt OF news of the
vessels arrival at her port Of destina tion
Minor as agent for the vessel collected this
balance.
The schooner sailed from Ecuador to
Gravs HarboT, where she loaded lumber
Tor San Francisco, which she has Just fin
lshed dlscharging.
Minor paid few bills Of small amount
against the schooner. Captain Harkins
had put his affairs in the hands of James
Neylan, his attorney-ln-fact. When any
money was needed for Captain Harkins'
household Ney,an obtained it from Minor.
During Captain Harkins' absence mis- wife
died and there were no more demands upon
Minor.
Upon his arrival here from Grays Har
Dor some days ago Captain Harkins asked
Tor the customary statement from Minor.
He was put off from time to time with dila-
tory excuses. and finally upon his demand

| freight money Minor was forced TO con-
Tess that he had employed it IN personal
| matters and, owing to the stringency OF the
money market was not able to replace 1t.
he has promised to make good the short
age by the deciding or mortgaging OF prop-
! erty. but up to last night he had not ful-
niled his promises. The exact amount or
money Cue to the vessel could not be
learned, but it is known to be over $1,000.

fortunately Captain Harkins had re-

PUNT AND PUSH.
Practice Football Game
at Central Park.
HOW THEY PLAY BALL EAST.
The University Team Defeated the
Eastern Eleven by Two Points.
A Lively Struggle.

There was a practice game of college
football yesterday afternoon at Central
Park. The crowd assembled was not up
to expectation. but the players played just
as good ball as if the park had been packed
with pleasure-hunters. Those who went
within the gates were attracted by the
announcement that the great Eastern ex-
perts, Heffelfnger, Norton and Pop
Bliss. would take part in the game and
show Califofnians how football is played
on the other side Of the Rocky Mountains
Heffelfnger looked every inch a giant
when dressed in his football clothes. He
lowered over Hunt, the Hercules of the
university, and when he stood alongside OF
Pop" Bliss of Stanford everybody smiled,
and questions such as where will Bliss
get OFF," wonder if they will ever
clashP', ETC., were heard on every side.
The Olympic Club was well represented
on the promenade ground, commonly
known as the bicycle track, and various
ideas and opinions were exchanged con-
corning the game'and the players.
Secretary Kennedy of the Olympic Club
and his min iature attendant were probab big
the most interested of the spectators. Mr..
Kennedy was profuse in his praises Of the
game and said as real exciting and hiiari-
Gus sport intercollegiate football puts pro-
fessonal boxing far into the shade.
There can be no gainsaying the fact that
those who are fond of football become
very much infatuated with the game.
Among the spectators was Judge Hunt,
who is SAID TO be paSSionately fond of the
great college pastime. The Judge, il is
said. adjourned court yesterday afternoon
so he could see Heffelfinger spread him.
self on the field. The Judge was great
kicker in his day. and some of his friends
even say that he can do good share of
kicking now when things don't go just his
way.
Billy Ackerson saw the game for the
first time. After the ball had got fairly
started Billy smiled at his friend, Tom
Glvnn, and remarked in an apparently
serious way that lt was to- bad such fiue-
looking fellows could not be induced to do
some work for him. Tom Glynn could n OF
understand why the players had such a
love for leather as TO fall upon it and hug
it as if the oval was filled with gold dust.
Alex sTruman took a great load off Re-
corder Glynn's mind by informing him
that the great point in intercollegiate foot
ball was the artistic style in which the
players ranged when they were drawia &
up in game.
As previously stated. 1t was only a
practice game, and consequently very little
interest was manifested in the contest.
Of the Eastern team, so called, Heffel-
finger, Wilder, Morse and Bliss made sew
eral excellent plays. Bliss. who was not
feeling well. retired after the first half,
and his place was filled by Cert of the
University team. Ransome, Hunt. Hi
born and Humphreys we're conspicuous
by several good PLAYS, which were ap-
plauded by the SPECTATORS. The teams
we're made up as follows:

Ii was $40 O'Clock when the game was
called. The Eastern team had the ball and
placed 1t upon the center with their op-
ponents eight or ten yards away A
wedge was formed by the fasteners,
which was quickly broken by their op-
pOnents for gain Of five yards. The Uni
versities by some clever tactics got the
sphere down TO within twenty yards of
the fasteners goal when Benson got it
and passed it back t. Ransome, who punted
the leather, bringing it very close to the
sticks.
Norton then got possession of the ball
and was making good run when he was
tackled by Wilson and thrown. The ball
was next passed back to Bliss, who kick ed
for gain of five yards. Ransome again
came in possession of the ball and made a
splendid run of several yards. Wilson
finally secured a touchdown and Ran
some missed the goal kick.
The ball was then brought back to CEN
ter and Bliss Dade the first good play by
kicking the leather several yards. TIE
ball was caught by FoltZ who was then
playing center. He was soon brought
down, and Humphreys having possession,
made gain of ten yards. Morse made a
good run, but came to grief as he was try
ing to dodge his opponents.
During a scrimmage Pierce, the fat man,
sneaked the ball and got 1t within few
wards of touch when he was bowled over.
The nrst half ended IN favor of the Uni
versty team, the score standing 10 to g.
In the second half the University team
started off with wedge, making gain of
ten yards. Brick" Morse made a splen-
did run of twenty yards. Norton kicked
TO Hil0orn. who was stopped by Heffel-
finger. Ransome passed the bali back to
Wilder, who was tackled and thrown by
Hunt.
Then Cert got possession and made
gain of ten yards. Ransome punted and
the ball was caught by Morse. who was
upset by Sherman. and the ball passed
back to Norton, who kicked it to Hum
phreys. The latter player made gran
run. passing the great Heffel finger and
gaining several wards by lodging three or
four men. Heffelfnger soon followed
however. and caught his man, who was
upset heavily near the Fasteners goal.
The Universities had the ball a1d passed
1t back to RansOme, who tried a drop kick
and missed. Tne game was well contested
to the finish. the Fasteners scoring, alto
gether. two goals, while the Universities
made one goal and two touchdowns, win
ming by two points.
