round contest ut Mechan cs' Pavilion un-
der the auspices of the Occidental Athletic
Club.
1t is yet too early to even attempt a
guess as TO which of the two great fighters
stands the better chance of capturing the
long end of the green. but Judging fro m
the great fight that Lavigne made with
Walcott in 1895 in Maspetb, when the con-
diIions were that Lavigne TO win the gate
receipts must stay hfteen rounds, it looks
as If the Saginaw Kid" had something
the best of the coming game.
Lavigne not only stayed The number OF
rounds required, but he won the contest
on its merits.
1t mast not be forgotten, however that
WaIcott agreed to LaVignes terms as to
weight and that he entered the ring weak
and trained down as fine as silk at 133
pounds.

FLY-CASTING
AT STOW LAKE.

Commencing at 10 o'clock to-day the
annual open-to-all fy-casting tournament
will be held at Stow Lake, and it is thought
that every lover of the quiet and interest

from business will be at the lake to either
wlelders cast for honor and medals.
Last season the club provided lunch
for the hungry ones but a new rule has
been formulated, and 1t saws that all those
who intend 10 visit Stow Lake on Octobe
8 must go prepared with lunch sufficient

when they are on duty it is generally
supposed that there will be but little

Anglers, especially those who make
Point Reyes their headquarters during the
fredericksburg season, will regret TO
learn of the death of Hiram Perkins, one
OF the veterans who loved his friends as
he loved his rods.

STAMFORD MEN
PLAY TODAY
Varsity Against Reliance
in a Great Game This
Afternoon.
Palo Alto Freshmen Against
Lowell High School This
Forenoon.
Some Comments on the Individual
Players and Their Relative
Merits.

This afternoon at 8 clock the Stanford
Varsity will line up against the Reliance
eleven on the new and we'll prepared
recreation grounds, corner of Eighth and
Harrison streets.
A well-contested match, by teams and
by individuals, is expected. The make
up of the two elevens promises struggle
both interesting and scientific.
Following are the men that will play
and the way they will oppose each other.
The stripped weights, which are in each
case about ten pounds less than with
clothes on. are also given. The Stanford
weights are mainly close approximations,
are those for Sherman, Sheehy and
FELTON, Taylor of Reliance; but the other
Reliance weights are, in every instance,
exact and reliable:

parture has left both positions of guard
opsn, Pringie will have fair chance for
the Varsity.
Whipple 90, who was sub halfbsck On
last years Varsity, and Arkley '98, who
was sub-guard and iook Waithalps place
on the q. c. team in last Thanks giylng's
game, have both come our within The last
few days.
Although Thanksgiving day is drawing
rapidly near, there are not more than
three men who can be named as certain
TO play in the big game. GreIsberg,
Simpson ard Hail are almost sure TO be
on the eleven that Berkeley will seId
against the cardinal.
Berkeley's backs at present are danger
ously light with the exception OF Hall.
Hopper and Thane, who are playing half
back, both weigh less than $50. Bender
and Haskell, the rivals for quarter, are
also light.
By the end of next week, when Cali
fornia plays its second game with Reii-
ance, more definite knowledge of who Will
til the positions on the team will probably
be available.
AT Palo Alto the scarcity of scrub
players is sill source OF anxiety to both
coach and Varsity players. Billy MclD-
tosh, who has ior the past two years been
the captain and mainstay of the second
team, has been very sick, and will play no
more football this year. Jerry Rusk, The
popular tackle, now has charge OF the
men who nightly oppose the Varsity.
Recently his team has been somewhat
strengthened by the addition o: some
Varsity men, who are being given hard
light by other aspirants for football hon
ors.
Ed James is being given trial at tackle.
Ray smith is being tried at halfback in
stead of end, and Daily is doing well as
half. Burnett is now playing a splendid
game, both in swapping back the bail and
IN general defensive and offensive work.
This year Stanford goes into the game
in much better shape than the begin
ming OF other seasons has found her The
early arrival OF Coach Brooke and the
number OF old players in the football
squad has made it possible to spend much
o. the time on the more intricate points
OF the game, instead OF devoting a large
part OF the first month teaching the rudi-
ments OF the game 10 green players. Last
year there was no interference to speak of
until within about two weeks OF the
Thanksgiving game. This year things
are different.
Wadsworth, the freshman player, who
was reported so badly injured, is about
again none the worse for his recent shak-
ing-up. The freshmen team is still sadly
in lack of heavy men, and recently Brad
ley, the center, has given up football on
account of his studies, so that new man
will have 10 te found for the vacant posi-
tion.
The San Francisco call., 1897-10-09

would have assure dly whipped Lavigne,
who was strong from the start 10 the finish.
O'RouIke would not dream Of matching
Walcott against Lavigne at the atter's
fighting weight, which is 133 pounds, but
he believes that under The present condi-
tons his black cyclone stands a great
chance of whipping the white Hercules.
The agreement signed by both men
reads that they meet at o'clock on
the evening OF the fight and scale 136
pounds. This will give Walcott an lp-
crease of about two pounds between the
time Of weighing and the time he is
called upon to Toe the scratch. At
138 pounds O'Rourke contends that
Walcott can whip any welter- wei ght
living, and ii he speaks the truth the
Saginaw Kid" will bave a hard road TO
travel when he exchanges compliments
with his dark-skinned opponent.
But Lavigne is very confident OF victory.
He says Walcott fought Green at 14O
pounds at least, and that two pounds will
cut quite figure when he has a man in
front of him who will never let up until
one or the other goes down and out. The
white lad says, further, that 1873 pounds is
his best lighting weight, but that three or
four extra pounds will only add to his
strength and staying qualities in this
glorious climate.
L is doubtful if he would give Waico.t
an extra pound If the battle was to be de-
cided east of the big mountains. At any
rate the contest should prove beauty, a
there will be lists hying in the air from
the sound of the gong announcing the
start until 1t strikes again announcing the
finish.
The referee is to be selected on the day
OF the contest, and If the principals can
not agree upon man Young Mitchell
who presides over the Occidental Club
will name the referee.
