TO INAUGURAL
Fleetest Hounds in Train
ING Will Start on New
Years Day at Union Park

The management of Union Cours-
ing Park has announced the annual
renewal of the Inaugural champion
stake, which will be run on New
Years day. The entrance fee will be
SIG and there will be liberal added
money. Among the fast dogs which
are expected to start are: Richard
Anton. McVey. Barge, Belle Free.
FriendIess Boy and others.
On Monday. January 2, a special
holiday stake will be run in it's en-
tirety.
Pocatelli. the champion greyhound,
is in training and will soon be seen in
the running. The hares are excep-
tlonally strong for this season of the
year and the dogs require severe work
to fit them for competition.
P. j. Reilly has registered a litter
OF seven puppies by McVey-Rosie
Clair. The latter is one of the famous
st. Glars and much is expected of the
youngsters.
There Will be no coursing at Union
Park tomorrow, but a special holi-
day stake of forty-eight entries will
be run on Monday. The first brace of
dogs will be sent to the slips upon the
arrival of the 1915 a. m. train. The
officials endeavored to secure grey
hounds of the same class and they
succeeded. No one entry stands out
above the others, so there will be
some lively speculation as to the ulti-
mate winner. The likely winners in
the first round look to be:
Aeolus. Miss Green, Runaway Actress. Rapid
Water. Duncan, Forest Fire, Dorothy III

RAIN CAUSES
CUNMEN ALARM
Storm Will Have Tendency
to Scatter the Ducks
and Spoil Holiday Sport

The duck shooters are in a quandary
as to the quality of the sport which
awaits them tomorrow morning on the
marshes. The rain of Thursday night
is expected to have some effect on the
shooting, but how much cannot be de-
termined until the fun commences.
Some of the men who were out last
Sunday had a peculiar experience. The
fog was so thick on some of the pre-
serves that the birds could be heard
dropping into the ponds and sloughs
among the decoys and yet could not
be seen. The birds were moving about
in great numbers. The members of the
Empire Gun Club found the shooting
over their ponds. good, but the fog hung
over the slough and spoiled the sport
there.
The members of the Miramonte
Club at Burdells had excellent shoot
ing last Sunday. Ed Donohoe was
guest of the members and secured AZ
birds, chiefly sprig.
On the preserve of the U. M. c. Club
Charles Laing killed 40 birds, the ma
jority of which were cans. Clarence
Neuman was the only other member
out.
The San Pablo shore furnished ideal
canvasback shooting last Sunday. Nine
men secured limit bags easily. Henry
Klevesahl and DR.. Hutton secured a
Joint bag of 40 cans near Giant. Jack
Moisen picked up IL cans in the same
neighborhood. The birds killed in this
district were as fat as butter, while
those secured near Petaluma were thin.
1t Is supposed the former are living high
on the baited preserves, while
the latter have to scratch around after
clans for living.

sport after quail near Point Reyes.
Stow Lake, in Golden Gate Park, has
been full of wild ducks in the finest
possible condition recently. The birds
seem to have no fear of the visitors
there, as they let persons approach quite
close to them. The majority are spoon
bills, mallard and bluebills. They do
not remain long. the call Of the wild
taking them away to new feeding
grounds.
Mr.. Carlson. who is one of the regu-
lars at Alvarado. SAYS the men who
shoot there are disappointed If they do
not get the limit. The good shooting
never lasted so long before as it has
this year. AS the marsh is easily ac-
cessible there are great many men
out.
The gun stores have been deluged
with orders for shells recently. Many
men expect to spend the holidays after
ducks and quail. If weather conditions
are favorable an army of sportsmen
will be afield. especially on the New
Years holidays.

Chief interest centers in the Pacific

aI-age event Any setter or pointed
having won a first, second or third
in recognized field trial will be eligi-
bic. This will be the first running Of
the champion event since 1901 at Cor

two starters. Six or more are expected
at the forthcoming trials.
The champion stake tests the con-

No matches for the 1904-19O5 cham
pionship of the California Association
Football League will be played either
tomorrow or on Monday, but four
practice games will be played by
league teams during the holidays. At
Freemans Park tomorrow the Occi-
dentals will line up for a friendly con-
test with the Albion Rovers, the ball
being kicked off at 2:3O p. M At Idora
Park, beginning at the same time to-
morrow, the Oakland Hornets will play
against the Independents.
On Monday, the Occidental eleven
will engage in an association football
match against the Wolf Tones, play
beginning at 2:30 p. m. on the ground
at Ninth and Bryant streets, San Fran
cisco. The Wolf Tones are champions
Of Gaelic football, having defeated the
Parnells goals to in a match played
a few weeks ago. On the same day,
beginning at the same hour, the YAM
pires will play the regular annual
match against a team of the Seamen's
Institute, San Francisco, on the cricket
ground at Alameda.
The Albion Rovers. having played
more matches and won a greater num-
Der than any other team, stand at the
head of the championship table. The
Independents, however, drew the bye
last Sunday and SO had no opportunity
to add to their list of victories. The
Independents are in a better position
with regard to the ultimate result than
the Rovers. for they have lost only
one match out of six, whereas the
Rovers have lost two matches out of
eight, or in the proportion of one in
four. 1t is probable that the Oakland
Hornets will become a more important
element in the contests that will be
played next year. The results of the
league matches up to date are shown
in the table.
