SCOTTISH BOWLING GAINS
RAPIDLY IN PUBLIC FAVOR
Ancient Pastime Draws Many De-
votees to the Golden Gate
Park Green.

Scottish bowling, like the other games
played in Golden Gate Park, is becoming
immensely popular. The San Francisco
club has a membership considerably over
one hundred. The game was started a
year ago, and at first did not thrive As
the on-Iookers became better acquainted
with it the merits of the game soon be-
came evident.
cially adapted to men who are no longer
youths 1t is played in the open air and
pleasant surroundings, and requires con-
siderable skill. The rinks are situated
near the tennis courts, and are well at
tended, especially late in the afternoons.
The game was formally introduced In
Oakland on Admission day. and the
matches were witnessed by a large num-
ber of interested spectators. The OPEN
ing day was given over to an intercIub
match between the San Francisco and
newly organized Oakland club. Although
the former won by quite a margin, the
Oakland players showed up exceptionally
we'll for their first tournament play The
Francisco club. will soon have a large
membership list.
The tournament which has been in
progress for several weeks on the Golden
Gate Park rinks must be finished No
vember IA Sixty-four players entered
and as the first round must be compIeted
to-day many matches will be played. AT
the end of the days play there will be
thirty-two men left to compete in the
second round.

~ ~TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. H.
Several of the warmest days of the
~ year have been numbered in the
week just closing and as a result pro-
gress on the football field has been nee
essarily slow. The men have been put
through light work at punting and run
ming down on kicks. with some slightly
heavier work during the last two days.
Thursday afternoon the players lined up
for the first time this season.
The men have been divided up into two
squads. one under Coach flanagan and
the other under Assistant Coach Shaker
These two squads have in turn been sub
divided into sections a and B and will be
pitted against each other in daily scrim-
images. Signals were given out Wednes-
day afternoon and signal practice formed
a part of the afternoons work. With
their first preliminary game but a week
away the varsity candidates have hard
weeks work ahead of them in order to
get in condition to make a creditable
showing
The first game scheduled for the varsity
will occur on the 18th inst, when it will
meet the Reliance Club eleven on the
campus gridiron. The outcome of that
game is purely matter of conjecture, for
nothing is known of the comparative
strength OF tne TWO teams. -Four line pO-
sitions and one back position have been
left vacant in the cardinal team as it ap-
peared last year. While all Of the va
cancies will be hard to fill with men as
good as those who played last fall the
greatest loss is that of Fullback McGil-
vray. He was nearly always good for his
distance on a line buck and was easily
the best punter on the team.
The problem of developing good punters
and place kickers is at present occupying
a great deal of the coaches time. Left
Tackle Sprott '06 is being tried out as a
goal kicker and promises to be a worthy
successor to 'Bin" Traeger, whom he
supplanted on the varsity eleven. He
seems to have little difficulty in placing
the ball between the posts from as far
back as the thirty-yard line Should he
succeed in combining speed with ac-
curacy he may prove a successful rival
of Captain Overall of Berkeley. "Sav-
age" Dole '05, varsity halfback, and three
candidates for the freshman team-E.
Dole. a brother of the varsity half; Wei
Ter, a point-winner in the intercollegiate
field day last spring; and Sprott. a prom
ising quarterback from Portland-are
given a chance to punt every afternoon
and all are showing up well.
Treasurer Cowden of the Associated
Students has completed negotiations for a
game with the Chemawa Indian team
from Oregon. The Indians are said to
have a fast and clever eleven, so the con-
test should be one of unusual interest
The date selected for the game is October
%. They will meet California the pre-
vious Saturday.

OAKLAND TEAM
is OVERHAULING
NORTHERN CLUBS
Pacific Coast Players Are
All Making Good in the
Two Major Organizations

T 7 is not the race for first place, but
the struggle to keep from doing the
n honors as the Pacific Coast Baseball
Leagues target bearers. that is the in
teresting one now TO the fans The men
who know the game and who have been
following it closely concede the pennant
to the Los Angeles team. But what nine
is going to come in last? That is the
question at present, and it is a difficult
one to answer, considering the way the
talent is playing.
When the Seattle and Portland teams
took that brace few weeks ago and
raised themselves about 100 per cent in
the standing the fans all thought the
Cripples were about due to remain at the
bottom of the heap. But what a change
has been wrought lately. Peters Oak
land collection is right in the going and
is playing better ball at present than any
any other team save the Angels.
They have left the last place for the
time being at least. They have done this
by playing the game in good form The
team is by no means composed of an ag-
gre5ation Of stars, yet every man on the
lineup at the present time seems in the
game to win. The harmony that has
been so long lacking has at last made
its appearance and is making itself felt.
for the development of youngsters in the
two big leagues. Kids from every mart
of the country have made good in the
fast organizations. Take the California
players, for instance Since the Pacific
National League went under a bunch of
men from that league have cast their
lots with the major organizations and
strange to say, they have all played brill
liantly.
rTharnnSOn nd Car
terry, were given a chance with the
mighty Pittsburg champions and thev
made such good showing that the ma
pers of that city raved over the voupg-
sters. Then Pfiester of the Inflated San
Francisco team also pitched some good
pail Tor the great team.
Martin Glendon and Jesse Stoyau want
TO Cleveland and each looked like a star
at the pitching game there. Then Grant
thatcher, whom Charley Reilly had ON
his staff, won his game for BROOKLYN
cleverly and Manager HanIon seemed to
ike his style. Johnny Burns has NOT
been heard from since he signed with
the Detroit team, but he should make
good beyond the question of a doubt. On
the whole the talent from the Pacific
Coast has been going a few in the big
leagues.

SOUTH PRODUCES

Northern Players Are Un-

% HE annual coast championship
tennis tournament at San Rafael

% HE annual coast championship
tennis tournament at San Rafael
was one of the most successful
ever held here For the second time the
southern players swept all before them.
Last year all of the championships went
south and again this year the north has
been whitewashed. However, the local
players made a much better showing this
year than they did last and showed that
they are by no means outclassed by the
men from below.
A. E. Bell, the new champion has been
one of the leading players of the coast
for years and his victory was well earn
ed one He met and defeated all of the
best men in the tournament and in the
challenge match won without the loss or
a set. Bell had two close calls, one in the
semi-fnal round and the other IN the
final. In both matches his perfect condi-
ton pulled him through The match be-
tween Bell and Smith was the only one
in the tournament that required the full
five sets to settle the question or su-
premacy. The run in" game played by
both was exhausting and told more heaY-
lily on Smith. The latter's service was
effective while his strength lasted. Bell

chop.
In the championship match Freeman did
not play near the game he put up year
ago. His overhead work was as effective
as ever, but in his other strokes he has
fallen off considerably. The ex-champion.
like George Whitney, has heart trouble,
caused by cverexertion and it is doubtful
if he will ever compete i'll champion
ship tournament again.
At the net Bell is undoubtedly the best
man on the coast, but in the back court
he is wofully weak. His best stroke Is
his smash. Bells greatest weakness at
the het is his handling of low volleys.
In his match with Bell Murdoch smashed
almost as well as his opponent This has
always been the Alamedans weakness
and consequently his clever work was a
surprise OF the three players Smith is
probably the strongest volleyer, but is
weaker in overhead work. The poor back
court work of most of the cracks is at
tributable to an extent to the excessive
heat. The heat caused the balls to be-
come soslively as to make it difficult to
execute a good ground stroke. Men like
MacGavin and Murdoch found it hard
to drive because the ball became light
and instead of dropping sailed through
the air.
