TENNIS PLAYERS TO MEET
IN CONTINUOUS TOURNEY
California Club Completes Arrange
ments for Unique and Interesting
Contest to Begin Sunday.


Contest TO Begin Sunday
The tournament committee of the
California Tennis Club met last night
TO complete arrangements for the
continuous tournament which it de-
cided some time ago to hold. Entries
Will close at o'clock next Saturday
afternoon. The tournament will be-
gin on Sunday.
When the entries are all in on Sat
urday the players will be classified
and their names drawn for places.
The first man in the first class drawn
will be No. 1. The first man drawn
in the second class Will follow the last
man drawn in the first class.
Each player has the privilege of
challenging the man directly above
him. If the challenge is not accepted
within week the players change
places. If two players within two
numbers Of each other wish to play
they can do so, but the higher man
need not play unless he wishes to. If
challenger is beaten he cannot again
challenge until he has beaten the
man below him.
Prizes viii be offered to the man
heading the list at the end OF each
three months and also to the three
players who advance most in that pc
riod. The continuous tournaments
held in the past have lacked these in
ducements. This will be the first
time prizes have been awarded in this

the tournament should prove llnus1l-
ally interesting and a great success.

WILL DISCUSS
COACH QUESTION
Universities Arrange Meet
ing to Consider a Matter
of Importance to Athletes
Special Dispatch to The Call.


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 2S
The agreement between Stanford Uni
versity and the University OF California
which provides that only graduate
coaches in football are to be employed
expires on December 81, and the inter
collegiate committee. which is COM
posed Of three representatives from
each university, will meet at the Pal
ace Hotel in San Francisco to decide
whether the agreement shall be re-
newed for another four years. The
principal clause to be discussed reads
as follows:
Section AFTER nineteen hundred the head
football coach Of each university shall be a
graduate Of the university at which the coach
ing is done (providing that he has attended
the university from which he graduated at
least two years) shall have attended the
university for four full years Ut being under
stood that leave of absence shall be counted as
attendance at the university If they do not
aggregate more than one semester). He shall
expenses paid. Expenses include loss of sal
airy, or loss of ordinary business, during the
time Of coaching
Stanford will probably support the
rule, as graduate coaching, especially
under James flanagan, has been an un-
doubted success. 1t is expected that
California will oppose the continuance
of the rule. Under a previous agree
ment 1t requires vote of both uni
versities to make a change, SO it is
probable the rule will stand as it is
for another four years. Stanford will
be represented by c. M. Fickert ,97.

MEADA IS THIRD
The Mist Defeats
a Fast Field,
Driving.
H. L. FRANK FLIES
BY FRED e. NIULHoLLAND.

The track at Oakland yesterday was
muddy, and after four favorites had
played havoc with the talents time
table Sir Brillar made it five straight
Charley Henshall's crack made one of
half a dozen starters in the five and a
half furlong purse run for two-year-
olds, and was introduced among Others
to The Mist and Hooligan. So highly
had he been touted that the ring made
/ him an even money chance.
Although the Eastern colt finished
third, it is nothing to his discredit. Nat
urally slow beginner, he closed strong,
and had the distance been six furlongs
would have won. Smiling Mickey
] Mclaughlin rode a close race on The
Mist, and in a severe drive earned the
verdict over Hooligan by less than a
length. Sir Brillar came with such a
rush that he only lost the place by a
I nose.
w. Davis on the Is to / outsider Edu-
cate made a cathop of the Introductory
six-furlong sprint. The mare revels in
slop and won going away from Ishtar
and Yo No Sc. Mocorito, the favorite,
did not cause much disturbance, run
ming as if she did not fancy mud.
Old Morengo, which has seen all sorts
of service, from hauling the sample
trunks of Commercial Traveller Eddie
O'Brien through the small towns of
Oregon to being the star at a Portland
paper chase, was installed favorite for
the mile selling affair, which followed.
With Helgesen in the pilot-house, he
trudged along through the slush as if
his gum boots leaked, never figuring as
contender. Frank Sullivan rode a
well-judged race on the third choice,
Estado, breasting the tape not quite
two lengths before Follow Me, 20 to l
outsider. Willie Holmes astride Chick
adee picked up the show.
Meada, the black filly from the stable
of Bianchi & Co., caused deep sorrow
in the camp of her followers by finish
ing third in the Futurity course sprint
for year-olds. She was a 3 to
chance in the betting. After getting
her away none too well, Sullivan got
pocketed on the rail and it was too
late when he finally did get through.
Davis took no such chances with Ara,
the second choice, and in a driving fin
ish downed the 60 to / shot Edna Sui
livan half a length. The first choice
lost the place by only a nose
MOUNTEBANK Is THIRD.
Another pronounced favorite bit the
dust in the mile selling number. Noun
tebank, also piloted by Sullivan, had
his odds hammered down from to 2
to evens, and finished a poor third.
Bronze Wing early took the lead from
the first choice, and the latter was
seized with an awful attack of the
bowwows when two-thirds of the
route had been traversed. Less than a.
furlong from the wire Bronze Wing
ran short of COAL and big Bill'
Knapp, with the to / chance Isabel
lita, crossed the line first by nearly a
length.
Smiling Mickey Mclaughlin, with
the leg up on II. l.. Frank, a II to 20
favorite, delivered the merchandise in
the closing sprint. The speedy sprin-
ter jumped away in the lead and, al
though groggy at the finish. he dis
posed of Magrane by length. Stand
ard, at odds of 100 to /. fell heir to the
show.

FISHER CLAIMS HONOR

All That Is Necessary to
Give His Men the Pennant
FISHER CLAIMS HONOR

President Bert of the Pacific Coast
League has allowed the protest Of Man
ager Morley of the Los Angeles team,
and has thrown out the game in dis
pute. This ties Tacoma and Los An
geles for the championship Of the sec
ond half of the season.
After taking the testimony of Nc
Carthy and Mcdonald, both OF whom
umpired this game. and on the admis-
sion of Mccarthy that he had made a
technical error in not allowing Los An
geles to score a run which would have
made the final score of the game TO 8,
President Bert made his decision.
All protests and other matters he
said. 'are usually taken up at the an
nual meeting. which is held December
10, but as this is an unusual instance,
where my decision has effect on the
championship, I am obliged to make
my ruling now, while the players are
on the ground. The teams will have to
play series Of games for the cham
ptonship Of the second half. If Los An
geles wins then there will be a post
season series for the Dennant. as Taco
ma won the first half. If Tacoma wins.
then that ends il.
Manager Fisher says that Tacoma
has won the championship by winning
the first half and tying Los Angeles for
the second. He says he has agreed to
play Los Angeles a series of eleven
games just to show the public he has
the best team. The first game will be
played tomorrow at Recreation Park.

sion made by Umpire Mccarthy.

In the meantime both Ross and Eager had
have been tied But Umpire Mccarthy failed
to allow Eager's run TO count. His reason
was that Eager was not at the home plate
when Baum cut second base. But ne had
crossed home plate and was sitting on the
bench when the ball was returned to second
base and Baum was called out. Now what
want to state is that Eagers run should have
