Not since the days when Mrs r. g
Horne, Miss Bessie Anthony. the Pitts
burg girl, used to capture the premier
ship of the west annually has there been
a more clear cut victory than that of the
sturdy player from Midlothian. She quail
ifIed with only three to score less than
100, and Won from Mrs. J. S. Driver Mrs
A T. II. Brewer and Miss Ruth Steele
10 get into the finals. The runner-up to-

times TO make her deadly iron shots
come off, the new champion soon 'cIinched

LACK FOOTBALL INTEREST
Leaders at Berkeley Cannot Get Full
Squad Out to Practice Stan
ford Victory Predicted.

Berkeley, Sept. Unless more fresh
men turn out for football practice imme-
diately, Knibbs and Griffin prophesy that
the blue and gold will again suffer de-
feat IN the annual intercollegiate match
with the Stanford freshmen. Not thirty
youngsters have signed up for suits, and
less Lhan that number have appeared on
the Held for practice. In fact there are
ndruly enough men eligible to make up
Two practice elevens. Considering the
Iacl that previous seasons have seen three
ana Tour score candidates for places on
the baby eleven, the football leaders
are az loss to understand the present
indifference to gridirOn fortunes ,on the
class
The first practice match on the schedule
comes In a fortnight, and every effort is
being made to get some kind of a team
together before that time. Captain Ben
Force. Manager Ezra Decoto and Trainer
waiter Christie are decidedly disguised
with the lack OF interest and are at loss
70 see how to proceed with the season s
work under such a handicap.

TAKING CARE OF SALT LAKE
Northwest Magnates Arranging a Cir
cult for Next Season-But How
About the Angel?

Already the baseball magnates of the
northwest have begun work on a cir
cult for next season and have kindly
arranged to take in Salt Lake. In
speaking of the proposed circuit the
Spokane Chronicle has the following to
say:
plans for the northwest circuit are
going ahead this early in the day. At
the present time the magnates are
considering the advisability Of taking
in Butte, Boise and Salt Lake. These
towns are good for the game and a
winning team in Salt Lake should
make the entire circuit uay.
With Butte, Boise. Salt Lake, Spo-
kane, Everett, Vancouver and prob
ably Bellingham and some other good
town, the league should pay. Belling-
ham and Everett both nave plans to
build parks nsar the center of the
town. and they should then De good
baseball towns
Such "a circuit would be gladly well
coined in Salt Lake, but If it is put in
force it might be just as we'll for the
magnates to bring along an angel to
put up the coin.
