Many Long Chases Around
Field at Ingleside Park

Ingleside Park was the scene of a
great days coursing yesterday and the
large crowd of enthusiasts that turned
out to see the greyhounds run received
more than the worth of its money.
Quita won the stake after a severe
trial with Full Moon in the deciding
course of the stake, the score being
6 to 1.
In fact Quita was given many a
hard run all along the line until she
finally won out. In nearly every
course the Sacramento greyhound had
to keep in the going every moment.
This she did gamely.

ones who were playing the likely
short-enders were doomed to disap-

VETERANS PLAY
IN GOOD FORM
Taylor Brothers Prove Star
Performers on the Califor-
mia Tennis Club Courts

The threatening condition of the
weather kept number of players from
the tennis courts yesterday. At the
California Club courts several good
matches were played before the courts
became too wet. Will Taylor and Gus
Taylor were the star performers of the
day. They met Chester Smith and
Sidney Salisbury in a good two-set
match.
The losers were by no means at their
best, but nevertheless the victory Of
the Taylors was a well-earned one.
They played good, steady teams and
outclassed their opponents from the
start Never after the first two games
was the outcome in doubt. Will Tay-
lors net work was particularly good
while his handling of deep lobs was
the feature of the match. His brother
executed many clever drives and was
little behind the ex-champion of the
coast in point of skill.
Later in the day Salisbury and Smith
showed remarkable improvement when
they defeated Ray Cornell and Drum
mond MacGavin. The winners took the
first set with the loss of only two
games. With the score So against
them. Cornell and MacGavin braced
and annexed the next three games.
This brought. the score to 5-5. At this
point the rain set in and interrupted
further play.
In the only three-set match of the
day Sidney Salisbury and Harry Rolfe
won from Paul Jones and Carl Gard
ner. The outcome of this match was
in doubt until the last point had been
won. Jones and Gardner won the first
set easily. Their driving and smashing
were particularly good. In the next
two sets Rolfe and Salisbury were in
clined TO take more chances which
proved the more successful style of
nIav They won the second set, GA.
In the third set Jones and Gardner
nearly won, requiring only one point
to win AFT "a and 40-SO. Rolfe and
SALISBURY. however, took the next two
games and match.

The Duzens are very proud of their

opportunity to show him off. The other
evening they were exhibiting him to a
company of his sisters guests when
one of the young women asked him for

Scheduled League Contests
ONE MATCH AT ALAMEDA
Albion ROvers and 0ccidentalS
Tie With One Goal Apiece
in Rather Rough Struggle

Only one scheduled match for the
championship of the California Asso-
citation Football League was played
yesterday. This ended in tie between
the Occidentals and the Albion ROvers.
The match between the Vampires and
the Oakland Hornets that was sched-
uled to be played on the ground at Ido-
"a Park was called off on account OF
the sodden, slippery condition of the
field.
In the morning the match between
the Thistles and the Piekwicks was not
played, no referee being present and the
ground being too wet A team or eight
ThistleS played friendly game against
the Pickwicks, neither side securing
goal. The Thistle team was made up
of w. McGregor. goalkeeper; Taylor,
back; Duncan, j. McGregor and A.
Disher, halfbacks Smith, King and T..
S. Lydon, forwards. During the first
half Lydon made several shots at the
goal, but none of them went between
the posts, Knight stopping them with
great success.
In the second half the Pickwicks mar
rowly missed scoring on more than one
occasion, but the game ended with no
score for either side. The Pickwick
team lined up as follows: Knight, goal
keeper; BOuton. leftback; Conway.
rightback; A. E. BOwcOck, left half
back; Watson, center halfback; Todd,
right halfback; Murdock, outside left;
w. T. Bowcock, inside left; Cowan, CEN
ter forward; Warren, inside right; Rob-
ertson. outside right. Hugh William
son acted as referee.
In the morning a Vampire team
played practice game on the Alameda
grounds against the Hospital Corps Of
Alameda. The Vampire team included
three first eleven men and won, four
goals TO two.
Shortly after 2:3O D. m. on the Ala
media grounds the ball was kicked off
in the match between the Albion Row
ers and the Pickwicks, c. w. Irish be-
ing the referee and the linesmen being
Arthur Robinson and d. Jameson.
After a few minutes play the Rovers
put the ball into the net, but the referee
gave Offside against them. Similar luck
shortly afterward befell the Occiden-
tails. Later the referee awarded a free
kick at goal within the penalty area
to the Occidentals. who scored. A sec
ond goal was declared offside and the
first period ended with one goal for
the Occidentals against nothing for the
Albion RoYers. In the last three min
utes of the second half Tweedie put the
ball into the net for the Albion Rovers
and the match ended In a tie
During the latter part of the second
half John played forward for the Row
ers, Duquesne taking his place at back.
Almost at the end of the game Ian
caster and Higgins came into collision,
Higgins being knocked out and getting
severely injured about the eye. The
game throughout tended to be some
what rough, the players being encour-
aged in this respect by the ill-timed
suggestions of their supporters on the
sidelines. The ground was in excellent
condition and the match was keeniy
contested. The teams lined up in the
following positions:

INSURING CURRENCY
IN TRANSMISSION
Banks Even Guard Against Loss of
Money Shipped by Registered
Mail Service.

The careless way with which large
packages of bank notes were tossed
through the windows of the New York
postoffice recently for transmission TO
out-of-town points has excited the
wonder of persons familiar with the
risks involved and the sums at stake
The movement is specially heavy just
now, aggregating from $3,000,000 to
S5,O00,0O0 a week, and including con-
signments from most Of the large banks
and banking houses in the city. The
currency is sent everywhere in single
packages, containing $4,000 or less,
protected by policies of insurance pro-
tecting the owners against every pos
sible hazard at rates varying from Is
to so cents per $1,000 of currency in
sured. Most of the notes are five, ten
and twenty dollar denominations, be-
sides supplies of ones and twos for use
as and-to-hand money" for crop
movement purposes.
These transfers go to all sections Of
the United States, Canada, Great Brit
ain and to continental points The
business has now grown to large pro-
portions, and is written by some of the
strongest insurance companies of
Europe and America. One very inter-
es7ng claim paid a few days ago was
for the loss of a parcel containing
S2700 an bank notes shipped through
the mails by a Canadian institution
The destination was a small. postofice
where the business was so light that
the postmaster, not having the use of
a safe in which to store valuables, was
forced TO take home every night unde-
liyered registered mail that arrived
during the day. The package of bank
notes was taken out of the Office in
this way, and just before the post
master reached home he was attacked
by footpads and relieved Of the money.
The loss was Immediately reported,
and the insurance company at once re-
imbursed the institution, at the same
time offering $500 reward for the de-
lection of the thief The case has not
been cleared up yet.
Packages containing $4,000 of in
sured bank notes were on the train
that went through bridge in a South
ern State recently. New York under
writer's were much concerned over the
incident until they discovered that the
car in which the insured packages were
stored remained safe on the rails. The
largest single risk ever written was
taken in England some time ago. when
one package containing S25, ,000, 900 was
insured

USEFUL HINTS FROM
ISLAND OF JAMAICA
What American Housekeepers May
Learn From Their Sisters Of
the TrODfcS

A Jamaican woman who was travel
ing out West some time ago heard
complaints about the swarms of ants
which infested every house and got
into all the food.
There is a very simple remedy" she
told her Western friends. Rub chalk
on the legs Of the cupboard The ants
cannot crawl up over the chalk"
Lime juice or lemon juice is the West
Indian housekeeper's best friend.
Should any of the house linen or wear
ing apparel become mildewed in rainy
weather a little lemon juice and a lit
tie common salt will soon make the
spots disappear. This receipt appears
to be unknown in this country, and
mildew is too often regarded as a thing
impossible to remove. Even the pro-
fessional laundries nearly always send
home clothes without removing the
mildew spots from them. Many a shirt
waist or other article of apparel is
thrown away solely for this reason
while it is still perfectly fit to wear.
If the American housekeeper will try
this West Indian recipe she will get rid
of an enemy hitherto regarded as un-
conquerable. So far as is known, moth
ing else will remove mildew.
West Indians have several good re-
cipes for keeping mosquitoes out of
the house. Although they live in a
mosquito haunted region. they are
much less bothered by these pests than
people are in the subtropical parts OF
the United States. A favorite recipe
is to pluck a number of castor oil leaves
and twigs and place them about the
house. A bunch is placed over the
dining-room table and another bunch
over each of the beds. Mosquitoes love
the leaf of the castor plant, and they
collect upon it and leave the family
alone.-Washington Star.

DOG Acts as Detective.

Game Warden Weatherly at Green's
borough, N. c., continues to make
heavy hauls of partridges being ship
ned out of North Carolina in violation
of the game laws of the State. His
latest capture Is the biggest yet made
and consists of 44S fine birds in egg
crates that had been shipped to a
commission merchant in Washington,
d. c. The outlay, which represented
about $40 expended by the shipper,
would have netted him all of 500 had
his shipment reached this city. There
were four of the egg crates and each
had the regulation layer of eggs on
the top and bottom.
Game Warden Weatherly's dog. with
his keen and unfailing sense of smell,
singled out the egg crates containing
birds, and when they were opened, sure
enough just the crates that the dog
whined over contained the forbidden
partridges. All birds seized by the
game warden are sold at auction, the
proceeds going to the Washing
