Young Mems Christian Association
Team Defeated the Olympic
Nine HandilY.

An indoor baseball league has been
formed, the members of which are the
Acme Athletic Club, the Reliance Ath-
letic Club, the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION of San Francisco and the Olym-
pic Club Each club will play two games
against every other club in the league,
making six games. The team which wins
the largest number of games will be pre-
scented with a pennant. purchased with
the entrance fees to the tournament. The
first game of the series will take place on
Thursday evening" February 8, in the
Olympic Club gymnasium, between the
teams of the Olympic Club and the
Young Mems Christian Association of
San Francisco.
On Thursday evening last practice
match was played in the Olympic Club
gymnasium between the two teams just
mentioned. 1t was the first time that the
Young Mems Christian Association has
met the Olympic team, which had hith-
erto been uniformly victorious. The game
was played with great keenness and the
umpires' decisions did not always meet
with full acceptance. The contest ended
in victory for the Y. NJ c. A. team,
with score of % to 16. Barbour of the
winning team struck seventeen men out,
and the batting of Hanrahan, McShane
and Shaw was strong. In the seventh in
ming Shaw made a home run. Many Wis
itors witnessed the game and displayed
much enthusiasm. Ward and Dotterer
acted as umpires. The ninth inning was
not played. The scores are shown in the

Dogs in the All-Age and Puppy
Stakes That Should Win
the Various Con-
tests.

Another large stake will be run to-day
and tomorrow at Inglesde Coursing
Park. glance at the entries, which
were published yesterday, will satisfy
the admirers of the sport that the Ingle-
side Park has first-class card. In fact,
if search was made among the kennels
of this city and vicinity a more aristo-
cratic lot of dogs could not be found.
In the puppy stake there are youngsters
of classic breeding that should certainly
give good accounts of themselves. The
all-age stake is considered especially
good, owing to the fact that there are
such number of courses on the pro-
gramme and the best guessers will be
puzzled in naming the winners. Altogether
the Ingleside Club can we'll afford to feel
pleased with this particular stake, as the
running will undoubtedly be very excit-
ing.
1t is amusing to read the comments of
Eastern coursing writers, who take a
fling occasionally at inclosed coursing in
California In a recent number of a
weekly sporting paper published Gin New
York the coursing editor had quite a
lengthy article on the game, which ter
minated with the statement that Califor-
MIA coursing was only child's play, as the
courses seldom exceeded half mile. and
that the gambling was the only thing that
Kept the alleged sport alive.
1t would pay the paper to ship its courS-
ing scribe to this city, where he would
certainly awake from his lethargic state
after witnessing few courses at Ingle-
side Park. Instead of sprinting dashes
the gentlemen would see runs of from one
mile to five miles, and occasionally the
departure of q high-class dog to the
happy coursing grounds. Last Sunday
the dog Rathbone died subsequent to a
course which must have been fully five
miles, and had it not been for the timely
capture of his opponent, Connemara,
there doubtless would have been another
death registered among the family of
longtails who died in the inclosed parks
from exhaustion, the result of grueling
runs.
1t is an admitted fact that when in
closed coursing was first attempted here
the hares did not run well; in fact, they
seldom lasted one minute after the dogs
were slipped. Time and experience, how
ever, have worked many changes for the
better.
In the early days of the sport the trap
pers shipped the hares in crates which
were minus apartments. AS a result, the
Jacks" fought each other, and in their
wild attempts to escape many crippled
hares arrived at the coursing park. How
different is the state of affairs nowl Each
hare is consigned to a separate apart
ment. and remains inactive until liberated
in the preserve. After a few weeks run
in the coursing field they recover from the
effects of the trip overland and when cast
off before the anxious dogs they run with

HARNESS THIEVES CAPTURED.
One Draws a Revolver on an Iceman
Who Was Pursuing Him.

An important capture was made by Po-
liceman McShane early yesterday morn
ing and an iceman was plucky enough to
attempt to assist the officer, notwith-
standing the threat of being made sub
ject for the Coroner.
McShane was on a Geary-street car
about o'clock, when he noticed three
MISUNDERSTANDING boys each carrying a
sack crossing Post and Laguna streets.
He jumped off the car and followed them
till he overlook them. He examined the
sacks and found two complete sets of
harness in the three. He placed two of the
boys under arrest and the other ran. An
iceman was close by and McShane called
upon him to catch the youth. The iceman
grabbed his pick and started on the
chase. He was crowding the fugitive.
who turned and. drawing a revolver out
of his pocket threatened to shoot If the
iceman persisted in following him.
The iceman followed at a longer dis
lance and a crowd joined him, but the
revolver in the fugitlve's hands kept them
from going too close to him. He disap-
peared in an alley leading off Larkin
street and made his escape. The two
boys arrested by McShane are Edward
Musgrave 1874 Folsom street, and John
Carroll 30S Third street both II years of
age. They were locned up in ''the tanks. -

On Tuesday evening, February Z, there
will be an indoor baseball match in the
gymnasium of the Young Mems Christian
Association between the association and
the Cosmopolitan teams. The last match
between these two mines ended in tie
each scoring fifteen: Dotterer is captain

A basket ball league will be formed
which will include the Athens and Sparta
teams of the Oakland branch of the
Young Mems Christian Association, and
the Russia and Mission teams of the San
Francisco branch. The league commit
tee consists of Bennett and Book of the
Oakland association, Williams and Oliver

the committee is complete schedule OF
games will be prepared.
The new series of games between the
two water polo teams, the Bull Frogs and
Pollywogs, of the Olympic Club, has been
abandoned. A very strong rivalry had
developed itself between these teams, and
the last, game played between them was
so rough that it was thought better, in
the interests of harmony, to discontinue
them.
