four or eight cared crew has never been de-

game from any of the seasoned clubs
against which it has played. The

Clabrough-Golcher team defeated the
university Wednesday afternoon, the

defeat administered by the Clabrough-
Golchers. The varsity players dis
played a lack of ability to hit the ball

GREYHOUNDS HAVE
ROYAL BREEDING
Progeny of PaIo Alto Is
Expected to Shine
on the Field.

The first of the progeny of Eugene
Geary's great greyhound Palo Alto
have been whelped and will be seen in
competition early next year. AS the
sire Won more trials than any grey
hound in the world, great things are
expected of his representatives.
George Sharman's Tamora has a lit
ter of six puppies. three of which are
dogs. Tamora is by the imported dog
Fetter Free, out of High Born Lady.
She has shown speed, cleverness and
stamina and is considered a fitting
mate for Palo Alto. Mr.. Geary's Una
by Snapshot-Bart's Belle has a litter
of three puppies. This brings in the
famous Skyrocket blood, which has
been factor in California coursing for
many years. AM the puppies are fine
looking and should do well on the field.
Bonnie Lass, the famous dam of
Palo Alto, Ireland, Bonnie Pasha, Erin
and other high class performers, was
destroyed some days since as an act
of mercy. Dr. Osler's theory was ap-
piled to her when old age brought on
its attendant ills.

Ninth and Bryant streets between the
Pickwick and Oakland Hornet elevens
The ball will be kicked off at 2:30 p.

association football played in this vi
cinity tomorrow.
The drawing for the remaining cup
matches follows: On Sunday, the 18th
inst, the Albion Rovers will play the
Eagles at Freeman's Park, Golden
Gate. 1t is likely the match between
the Pickwicks and Independents for
the championship of the California As

played as a curtain-raiser to the cup
tie. On Sunday, the 18th inst, the

The only match played last Sunday
for the league championship was be-
tween the Oakland Hornets and the
Albion Rovers, and was won by the
Hornets with a score of 3 goals to l..
The Hornets are growing stronger
every match and will be an important
element in the cup games. Last Sun
days match was interfered with in a
peculiar and unique manner. The air
ship California Messenger" was pulled
to and fro over the football ground
several times, compelling the players
to stop the game. The crowd that was
attracted to Idora Park by the desire
to see the inventor of the airship make
an ascent swarmed across the touch
lines and could not be held back.
The standing of the clubs for the
championship of the league is shown

CARDINAL RUNNER is SPEEDY.
Burr Shows Fast Trial Over a Dis
tance of Two Miles.

CnOAS IIldI ONCE a DlS-
tance of Two Miles.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March
S.-Because of the death of Mrs. Stan
ford all athletic meets for the week
were called off and the men have done
but little practice work This rest in
the early season will do the track men
30 harm, as many Of them are in such
good condition now there might have
been danger Of overtraining before the
end. of the season. Never before have
there been so many good performances
on the einder path at this time of the
Season as this year has brought out.
Miller's half mile in two minutes and
six seconds; Davis quarter in fifty
two: seconds; Lanagan's pole vault of
eleven feet three inches, and above all
Burr's two miles in the fast time of
ten minutes and twenty seconds. are
all remarkable feats of speed and
strength SO early in the long weeks of
= training.
This trial Of. Burr in the two-mile
shows that at last the Cardinal has a
first-class man to run this heart break
ing distance. For many years Dad"
-Mouton has been trying to develop
a good long distance man, but with
out success. In this race last wear
California took all three places, but
Burr, an unknown runner at that time,
hung with the bunch of Californians
.snd finished close behind All the
other Stanford entries fell out of the
race. With this performance in mind
the veteran trainer took Burr in hand
. this year and the fast heat in the trial
on Monday shows Dad" has picked
a winner. Except some Improvement
among the sprinters little else has been
done on the track.
The boat club has started to build a
boathouse at Redwood and in a short
time the crews will do most OF their
training on the course there. 1t has
not. yet been decided where the inter
collegiate race will be held The STAN
ford managers VIII recommend that
Redwood be selected. In the meantime
the rowing squad spends several hours
each day working on Lagunitas Lake.

Justice OF the Peace Golden Gives
Judgment for $500 Against
Made H Shadhurne

Justice OF the Peace Golden yester-
day gave Judgment for 5000 IN favor
OF Carl Prazak. who sued Wade H
Shadburne for maintenance Of the lat
ter's wife and child. Mrs. Shadburne
was formerly Miss Marie Presovich
and Is a stepdaughter of the PLAINTIFF in
the case. Prazak sued for $299 bur.
MS claim was cut. down because the
evidence disclosed that he had locked
Shadburne out of his house and de-
pr1ved him Of the custody of his child
Tor three months and thus lessened his
Inability under a Supreme Court de-
cision.
Prazak testified that Shadburne had
paid but $3.50 In two years for the sup
port of his wife and child. Mrs. Shad-
burne was too Ill TO appear as a wit
ness. but her evidence was not neces-
sary.
