Sailors.

SAN FRANCISCO Nov. 14.-United
States District Judge Morrow decided
novel admiralty case today, in which
he decreed that ]. f. Cunningham &
Co., owners of the schooner Viking,
should pay Mate Joseph Petersen and
four sailors each about $50 for keeping
them OH short rations on n voyage from
the Caroline islands to this port.
The men complained that they were
short on bread, sugar, meat, peas, lime
juice and vinegar, all of which, the
statutes provide, must be served to
American sailors in specific quantities.
They also complained that they had real
ly suffered hunger and privat tion, and
asked damages on that score.
Judge Morrow found from the testi-
mony that the service of bread on forty
five days was short, and decreed that
each of the five complainants should re-
ceive damages in the sum of Is cents a
day on that score. making total for all
the men of s1S3.75 The sugar supply
was found to be short on twenty-n.ne
days, for which a similar allowance was
made. total of $10S.75 All of the other
claims of the sailors were disallowed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14-The Re-
lance and Olympic athletic club football
teams played tie game today, score
4 to 4. 1t was game full of interest,
as both clubs are jealous rivals for su-
premacy. The Olympics played the bet
ter game and Reliance managed to score
only by accident. The Olympic team
was greatly aided by the playing of
Lieutenants Nolan and Ames of the
army and Ensign Mccormick of the
navy. Nolan and Mccormick were es-
pecially efficient. They were in every
play and prevented any runs around
the ends. Olympic got the ball after Re
lance kicked off and in less that five
minutes had rushed the ball over the
line for touchdown. No goal was
kicked. Neither side scored again un-
til just before the close of the game
Reliance had worked the ball down
into Olympic territory and as usual
when near the goal had lost the ball.
Olympic fumbled the ball and Re
lance player stumbled over it, kicking
the oval across the line and fell on it,
scoring a touchdown. The goal was
missed and the score was tied. Both
teams played desperately after this and
several men had to retire from the game
Time was called with the ball in Re
lance territory.
