demand arrangements have been made for

ton Park tomorrow forenoon, commence

kept Informed of the progress of the con-
tests. There will be a series Of three
games between Oakland and San Fran
cisco, and there will be two contests be-
tween Santa Cruz and Sacramento. At
the close Of these series there may. be a
decided change in the standing of the
teams. The Oaklands are not satisfied

DUCKS COME IN
WITH THE STORM
FROM THE NORTH
Gunmen Anticipate Good Sport
On the Marshes From This
Time Forth.

Ducks are commencing to arrive from
the north in numbers, and all the signs
indicate that sport will soon be in full
swing in the marshes. Market hunters
who make the habits of the birds a life
study affirm that their arrival from their
northern haunts occurs annually about
the Goth of this month. During the past
week members of the Spooney Gun Club
have seen many birds flying aimlessy
about Alvarado, as though they were get
ting acquainted with their surroundings.
The weather conditions are favorable for
bringing the birds from the north in
large numbers. AS sequence, the men
who shoot over preserves anticipate the
best of sport from this time forth

STANFORD MEN IMPROVE,

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 20
Under the direction Of over a half-dozen
coaches and trainers Stanfords football
men continue to improve. The men are
fast rounding into condition, and during
the past week have put up the best prac-
tice games that have been seen on the
campus for two years. Virtually every
position on the team is open, and the
competition for places is growing sharper
day by day. Especially is this true Of
the tackle and guard positions, where
there are a score of likely candidates.
Burnett and De Forest have done much
to strengthen the line, and with Gilman
at center should form a center trio which
will compare favorably with that which
made the 1897 team invincible. Among the
tackles there is probably the best material
that ever tried for a Stanford team
though they must be developed. Dole
Huston, Bentley Wrigley, Faris, Emer-
son and Bidwell are all men of weight and
experience. Under q coach who is himself
Camps first choice for tackle on ALL

OLYMPIC OUTING IS OFF.

Owing to the inclement weather the
Olympic Club officials have postponed for
one week the outing proposed for all the
members, which was to have been held
at Escalles tomorrow. George James
who is in charge of the arrangements
states that the ground would be too vet
for outdoor games and it was thought
best to postpone it accordingly. When
Mr.. James attention was called to the
fact that the Associated Cycling Clubs
had its annual 10-mile road race set for
the 29th inst, the day to which the Olym-
pic outing has been postponed, he stated
that that made no difference to the Olym-
pic Club. This will be news to the many
