The venerable party with bowed glasses

of the young pair sitting very close together
upon the bench in the most secluded corner of

The darkness was fast descending upon the

that the young people were gazing ardently
into each others eyes.

Eagerly. yet cautiously, he advanced through
the deepening gloom until he found himself
behind clump of bushes within few feet of
the young pair.

The morning call., 1894-02-04

All the teams have met in the first round
of scheduled games, with the exception OF
the Thstles and PaStimes, who Will CON-
pete on February IL. and as the victory
ought to rest with the Scotch team this
will place them at the top. If the Pastimes
succeed in drawing the game then the
Wanderers and Thistles will stand on a
par.
The Fort Masons and Pastimes played a
friendly game on Sunday last on the for
mer's grounds at Fort Mason, and the
army fOotballers came out on top with a
score OF 3 to 0 in their favor.
The Fort Mason team have, in their las t
three games. not only beaten their oppo
nents handsomely. but have prevented
them from scoring.
At Petaluma on December 10 they beat
the Wanderers by a score of goals to
goose eggs; on December 81 they drubbed
the Rangers numerically to The tune of s
goals 10 nil, and by defeating the Pastimes
on Sunday last by ) goals to nothing they
have succeeded in keeping their goal in
tact against the onslaughts of their oppO-
nents.
The army team will enter the second
round with the avOwed de ermination 20
win every game. and while they cannot
win the championship even with this,
having two defeats against them early in
the season. 1t is possible that they may be
boosted TO the top if the Rangers or
PaStmes should succeed IN lowering the
colors of the Thistles aud Wanderers, as
even in football that glorious uncertainty
of unknown quantity" obtains as In other
sports.
The association series Of Midwinter
Fair games for February will be PLAYED as
follows on the recreation grounds of the
exposition: February 4, Fort Masons VS..
Wanderers: February IL. Rangers vs. Fort
MasOns; February Is, Wanderers vs..
Pastimes; February D. Thistles VS..
Rangers.
The game TO-DAY between the Fort Ma
sons and Wanderers will be the first meet
ing of these teams since their Petaluma
engagement, and as the Wanderers are
bent on avenging that defeat, an interest
ing and exciting game may be looked for.
Both teams will trot out their best play
ers, the Fort MasOns being Te-en forced by e
new forward named McCarty, while it is
stated that the Wanderers will call upon

ATHLETICS,
The Pacific Association Games at
the Recreation Grounds.

The athletes of the Pacific Coast ANA
teur Athletic Association are thoroughly
disguised at the manner in which they
have been treated by the Midwlnter Fair
committee.
A few months ago the executive commit
tee of the fair was profuse in its promises
TO the ass0ciatiO bout having constructed
tirst-class athletic grounds upon which all
kinds of outdoor sports could be held.
The committee went even SO far as TO ask
the athletes to prepare programmes Of
! events and to select February 3 as the
opening day of a series of games, which
were to continue weekly during the dura-
ton of the fair.
The Pacific AssociatioD-which, by tn
| way, is composed of men who W i'll not
stand any nOnsense-mapped out games
and had announced that on February 8
| the inaugural meeting would be held, ad-
| Jninlng the site upon which the Midwinter
Fair proper stands.
| AS tine wore on the committee forgot
ali about the promises made the athletes
ana football players, and as result there
were no games played yesterday, and 1t is
extremely doubtful il there will be any
games, excepting football, held on the
selected spot at all.
The committee having the matter in
charge has shown no desire to have con-
structed grounds fitted for athletics, and 1t
IS presumed that the PacificAthletic Asso-
citation Will not give the matter any fur
! Their attention.
The football associations have become
disgusted also. and according to the opin-
IONS the players have expressed the league
matches will soon be played elsewhere.
One OF the hottest favorites in recent
years won the big Christmas sprint handi-
cap at Sheffield. England The historical
