THE SAN Francisco CALL is doing the State n
service in its vigorous onslaught upon yellow
journalism. The development OF California
has been greatly retarded by the industrious
efforts made by one San Francisco paper to
convince the world that Californiaus are
chiefly criminals; that local life is made up Of
scandals and all grades of wickedness and
that the man who achieves success in any line
OF legitimate business may count with GER

SPLINTER WEFERS BEATEN.
Two Races Won by Rush at New
YOrIk,s Winter Carnival.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S-The winter car
nival of indoor athletic sports, which began
yesterday under the auspices of the New
Jersey Athletic Club at Madison-square
Garden, was concluded tonight. The at
tendance was not so large as the event de-
served. Bernard J. Wefers, the George
town College sprinter had a very close call
in the final heat of the forty-yard dash.
Zinn, of the new West Side Athletic Club,
with an allowance of four feet, finished
first an inch in front of J. H. Rush. of Chi
cago, who in turn was about three inches
in advance of Wefers. The judges at the
finish decided that Wefers and Rush had
run a dead heat for first place, and they
placed linn third When this decision was
announced it was greeted with a storm of
Kisses and yellS of Whats the matter with
the judges?' Bedlam broke loose just then
and the majority of the spectators yelled
themselves hoarse in denunciation of the
decision OF the judges and there were re-
peated cries of ''Zinn won! linn WON'T The
judges were deaf to all of these exclama-
tons, however, and ordered Wefers and
Rush to the mark TO run off the dead heat.
Rush, who vas on even terms with Wefers,
outsprinted the champion and won by about
anH @ oa adq pppse when ne the re
was announced, but there were still many
calls for linn.
Rush and Wefers met again in a special
race of go yards. There were other entries,
but only those two started. The Chicago
man had the pole and held it throughout,
winning handily by three yards, in "a rs
seconds. Wefers claimed a foul saying
that Rush had elbowed him at the avenue
turn but the claim was not allowed, and
the Georgetown sprinter had to put up
with second honors OF course, If Wefers
had got the pole the result would certainly
have been that he would have won, as his
running in the stretches was excellent, but
the Western man always held him safely
Wefers had to run at least five yards more
than Rush.
Kraenzlein, of Chicago. who was a
scratch man in the 300-yard hurdle race, did
not start in that event. 1t was won easily
by c. A. Lambert, of the Xavier A. A, who
started from the twenty one-yard mark
The dumb bell competitions were very in
teresting, and the throwing of the fifty-six-
pound weight for height was also closely
contested, but none of the contestants came
within twenty inches of the record, held by
Tim Mitchell

WESTERN BALL LEAGUE
NO DISPOSITION MADE OF THE
EIGHTH FRANCHISE YESTERDAY.
Omaha, Toledo and Des MOines Are
Bidders, and Grand Rapids Is
in the Field Again.

CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-The magnates of the
Western Baseball League did not accom-
plish much at their meeting to-day. The
old question of the eighth franchise came
up, as usual, and nothing was settled re-
garding it. Omaha. Grand Rapids, Toledo
and Des Moines were the applicants for it,
but it is not likely that anything will be
done until late in the present meeting. A
committee was appointed to confer with
the managers of the Eastern League re-
garding several matters one of which is the
advisability of playing series of games
each fall between the champion teams of
the two leagues.
Those present at the meeting to-day were
President Ban Johnson, w. F. c. Colt, In
dianapolis; T. J. Lotus, Columbus, O.; G.
A. Vanderbeck, Detroit; M. r. Killilea, Mil
waukee, Wis; c. A. Comiskey, st. Paul; j.
H. Manning, Kansas City, and c. H. Sauls-
paugh, Minneapolis. After considering the
franchise matter the delegates considered
the amendment to the national agreement
submitted by them to the League at the
Philadelphia meeting. and later referred
back by the National League with an i'm
portant addition. The latter clause is OBJ
jectionable to the Western League, as it
provides that the major organization can
get player from the minor body, hold him
thirty days and then return him, If he is
found wanting.
