secured to coach the Berkeley team during
the coming season.
In commenting upon the coach in whose
charge will be placed the men who will
meet Stanford on the gridiron next
Thanksgiving day Mr.. Long said:
We should consider ourselves exceedingly
fortunate i'll being able to secure the services
of such remarkable player and a man OF such
highly refined personal qualities. We have
been watching him for the past two seasons,
with the hope of some time being able to get
him to come to California.
While making inquiry with regard to his
ability as a coach, GIL Hefelfnger and Walter
Camp all spoke Of him in the highest terms,
and said by all means to secure his services.
Undoubtedly he is the greatest fullback Yale
ever had, and whenever she was hard pushed
and needed to gain few yards, the ball al
ways went to Butterworth, seldom without the
result sought One of his characteristics when
at play is to hit the line we'll up and not low
down, as many good players do. This may
seem somewhat strange, but 1t is nevertheless
true

wENDTE IS DISCOURAGED.
He Has Asked to Be Released From
His Passionate.

He Has Asked to Be Released From
His Passionate.
Rev. Charles w. Wendte, pastor of the
First Unitarian Church, asked the trus-
tees three weeks ago to accept his resigna-
ton on November 1. -Four years ago the
society erected one of the handsomest
churches in the State, at a cost of nearly
$4,000: Of this amount SOL 600 was sub
scribed. by the members, and the balance
was held as a mortgage. The mortgage
fell due last September, but was renewed,
The bank has now asked that it be reduced.
Mr., Nendte said to-day that he Is dis
couraged. He has worked hard to keep
-upthe' financial and moral interests of the
church, and ii is said his contributions in
money! last year amounted to $500. His
own salary is in arrears, and there is no
trouble in the church except the financial
difficulty.
Since the resignation was placed in the
hands of the trustees they have held sew
eral meetings, and one CT their first acts
was TO pass resolutions heartily indorsing
Mr.. Wendte and calling upon him to re-
main. This did not satisfy the pastor,
who said the matter must go before the
. church as a whole, as the Unitarian policy
of church government Is congregational
one; and he also insisted that If he was to
remain some effort must be made to reduce
the debt on the church. 1t was decided
that the letter of resignation should have
been read yesterday, but this was altered,
and the fact of the resignation was merely
announced with the call for the meeting
next Sunday. John P. Irish is a trustee,
and he is working hard for full attend
ance of members.
The general opinion prevails among the
members that Mr.. Wendte will be retained
and that the financial tangle will be
Strengthened out. Itwas announced to-day
that the trustees have already found ten
men willing to subscribe $500 each to re-
duce the debt, and it is believed that three
times this amount can be obtained within
the time before the Meeting next Sunday

Good witness for Muh1ner.

Some sensational testimony was given
tonight at the inquest on the body of Miss
Jennie Lewis, who was shot last Monday
afternoon. Miss Sparhawk, the nurse at
the Mooar residence where the shooting
occurred, testified that about half an hour
! before the shooting she saw a man hiding
in the creek that runs near the house. The
man was evidently trying to conceal him
self among the brush. She did not see
Muhlner at the house at all Monday after
noon, and the man she saw walking away
after the shooting did not answer Null
ner's description.
The Chief of Police went to the jail ard
brought Muhlner to the morgue. When
brought before Miss Sparhawk she swore
positively that Muhlner was not the man
she saw walking off just after the shooting.
The man she saw was much heavier
man. Muhlner was turned round by the
witness and placed in the attitude of the
witness positively testified that he was not
the man.
Charles Miller was put on the stand and
subjected to close examination as to how
he had put in his time during the fatal
Monday afternoon. There were some con-
tradictions in his testimony, but his story
did not differ materially from that already
published. The inquest was adjourned at
midnight. Several other witnesses are yet
to be examined.
The Wilmerding School.
A committee composed of William R.
Davis, B. McChesney, Charles G. Yale,
; 2. =. Bowles, Captain w. R. Thomas, Rev.
Dr. Wendte, r. w. Snow and W. Frank
Pierce met in the offices of Davis & Hill on
Saturday night to arrange plans for secur-
ing the Wilmerding school to Oakland.
They VIII canvass for contributions, and
when q sufficient amount is raised will
meet the board of regents to select a site
for the new school. The committee is con-
fident OF raising from $4,000 to $4,000
within the week.

built a fire in front Of the shanty and began to

prevent exchanges. he brought these about 1u-
dicously after beginning the end play. Pills
bury carried the dag by exceedingly clever pawn
play.
Lasker declined Queens Gambit opened on
him by Burn. and set about playing the game
OF his life The champion complicated matters
early and seemed to confuse his adversary by his
deep play, and when Burns clock had registered
two hours only twenty moves had been made by
him. Having thus overstepped the tlme-limit
ne forfeited the game.
Steinitz defended Walbrodt's Ruy Lopez with
3 P-Q r g. and found no trouble in obtaining
comfortable position early. Walbrodt was clearly
outclassed and could not ward off the vigorous
onslaught of the veteran. who scored in thirty
two moves.
Though Tarrasch had the move against the
tail-ender. he was in Tor considerable worry be-
fore he finally captured the game. He started
with the Vienna Opening with which Vergani
seemed TO be familiar. Tarrasch. however, pre-
vailed In the end game and won after hfty-two
moves.
After finishing with their respective opponents
Of to-day Tarrasch and Steinitz resumed their

had a splendid struggle for supremacy the
first day of play. which terminated with slight
advantage for Tarrasch at the time OF adjourn

he forced the ey-champion's resignation after
seventy-twO moves.
Pollock encountered Two knights Defence
at the hands OF Schiffers. which. after some

into an ending when Schiners had somewhat the
superiority in material. The Russian worked out
a win after A. moves.
Bird and Meses had contest extending over
seventy-two moves. which ended In draw.
The veteran however was again fortunate In
being able to prevent defeat by means OF
perpetual check. when his chances looked slim

he was greeted with resounding cheers and
heartily congratulated on ali sides. The Brook
lyn lad. by his modest demeanor courageous
bearing and above all. his beautiful play
throughout the entire tourney. has won the re-
spect and admiration OF spectators and players
alike, his final victory being a most popular one.
Pillsbury after he free, sent this
cable message to the Brooklya Chess Club as
whose representative he came:
Have beaten Gunsberg in final round. winning first
honor for America, Brooklyn and myself.
Lasker defeated Burn easily. and he now leads
Tschlgorin for second> place by half point.
Tschigorin, however. has adjourned game
with Schlechter which he should win. and may
thereby pass Lasker and take second place. The
first three prizes are valued respectively at $3.50,

Tarrasch takes the fourth prize. $500, through
victory over Vergani and also Steinitz in
their adjourned game. Fifth prize. 5000. falls to

duty by his felow-players. for he bent to his
task with sucl. earnestness that II was plain he
intended to make IL as hard for the Brookiynite
as he possibly could He seemed content, how
ever to play FOR a draw. since he could scarcely
