tain of the football eleven OF the Peerless

wishes to arrange game with the team
made up of members of the local clubs

tion given the Peerless club is possessed
OF a cracking good team, and the captains
eulogv of his eleven 10 backed up by a
praisefui letter from Lruis Gill, the great
football coach and the trainer of the
Olympic eleven. However, unless the
northern team comes down on the eBti
mate they have placed on themselves as O
drawing card, anu ask for slightly small
or guarantee, there is small Likelihood that
they will come down here under the pro-
tecting wing of the Los Angeles Athletic
club. There is strong probability that
either the Stanford or the Berkeley team
will come down here about that time and
play with local eleven There is no
doubt OF the popularity of these teams
down here. and they may be assured of
a rousing reception should they conclude
to come here and play.

the 8th inst. in order to allow those COM
ing late to get partners and fill in the list
