ROLLER POLO MEN
BREAK EVEN ON
DAYS PLAY

The roller polo teams representing
the Auditorium Rink and Stockton
broke even yesterday after playing two
exciting games at the Auditorium In
this city. The struggle between the
two teams last night was the fastest
of the series. The afternoon game
was won by Stockton by a score of two
goals to none. The tables were turned
on the visiting players in the night
game, which resulted in victory for the
home team by score of three goals
to two.
Javins. the center for Stockton. and
Swift. the first rush. scored the goals
In the afternoon game In the even
ing the two scores for Stockton were
made by Fisher and Govinneff The
point getters for the winning team
were Agee, Smith and Langdon. The
night game attracted an attendance
which surprised the players, who did
not expect to play before a big crowd,
owing to the inclement weather The
people who attend the games have been
quick to grasp the fine points and were
liberal with their applause whenever
a good play was made. From appear
ances the new game gives promise of
gaining great favor with the public.
The next series of games will be be-
tween the Auditorium team and the
crack players from Santa Rosa. They
will meet for the first time next Satur-
day night at the Auditorium Two
games will be played on Sunday, one
being scheduled for the afternoon and
the other for the evening

MATINEE DRIVING
MARK BROKEN BY
SONOMA GIRL
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 25.-Sonoma
Girl, owned by ]. D. Springer of Los
Angeles, trotted an exhibition mile In
2:07 and broke the matinee record at
the Christmas matinee of the Los An
geles Driving Club at Agricultural
Park. The mare had neither pacemak-
ers nor trailers, and Springer failed to
touch the whip to her throughout the
mile. It is believed that had the track
been at its best and had Sonoma Girl
been in her stride at the word she
would have negotiated the distance in
2:05
Today's mark beats the matinee rec
ord of Cresceus by half second. When
the great mare trotted back to the
stand she was given an ovation and,
seeming to pulse the festive mood of
the crowd, cavorted with her handlers
as though she had been on a workout
jog.
Sonoma Girl trotted the mile 7ithout
skip, doing the half in 1904, but the
terrific pace told on her in the last half
and she faltered slightly in the last
half furlong, but gamely held her feet.
Copa de Orc paced a mile in a race
in 2:09. He played with his field in the
first heat and in the second opened a
onds off the former time.
The matinee card was the best ever
given by the driving club, Secretary
Redpath having entered Riverside
horses to make interurban features.

ITALIAN CUTS MAN
WHO RAN AMUCK

Daniel Sweeney, a stableman en-
ployed by the Healy- Tibbetts Con-
struction Company, ran amuck at the
company's barn, corner Of Bay and
Taylor streets, yesterday, and in an al
tercation which he forced on an Italian
who was passing by was stabbed
twice and may die
Sweeney, who was under the influ-
ence of liquor, secured revolver, and
by fiourishing it at pedestrians, forced
them to run to cover He started up
Bay street in search of further adyen-
lures, and had proceeded as far as
Mason street, where he met the
Italian and began to quarrel with him
Apparently forgetting about the
weapon which he had placed in his
pocket Sweeney picked up brick and
chased the Italian, who fed for safety
into corner between two buildings at
Mason and Taylor streets
The Italian drew knife and in the
scuffie that took place struck twice,
cutting Sweeney in the chin and in the
right SIDE The injured man was re-
moved to the Harbor Hospital, where
his wounds were dressed and he was
later locked up at the Central Emerg-
ency Detention Hospital. Sweeney's s
condition is serious. Detectives Braigg
and Taylor have been detailed to cap
ture the Italian, who disappeared i'm
mediately after the fight.

TO CITY READY
FOR FITZ

Cyclone Thompson. the boxer, arrived
here unexpectedly from Ogden last
night. and Is ready to carry out his
proposed match with While Fitzgerald.
which was scheduled for Friday night
but was called off late on Monday.
Thompson was matched to fight Maui
rice Thompson at Ogden, and put up
a forfeit of $500 to guarantee his APP
pearance in the ring at the appointed
time. This money is lost to him.
Thompson's coming apparently COM
plicates the boxing situation. as he is
willing and anxious to fight Fitzgerald
on Friday night. The promoters We're
led to believe that Thompson could not
reach here before Thursday night. and
this prompted them to call the match
off, as it would allow no time in which
to advertise il properly. They will
probably think the same condition pre-
walls at the present time and will make
no efforts to stage the match.
A meeting between the two men
would be full of action. and 1t Is pos
sible that with both Of them on the
ground some one of the promoters may
match them for a date early in the
new year. Thompson is accompanied
by Rawhide Kelly, his manager.

VANCOUVER BEATS
STANFORD IN
RUGBY GAME
SPECIAL D1s-ATcH TO THE CALL.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec 25.-By a
sensational finish of one Of the great
est games of Rugby football ever
played in British ColunlS.a the all-star
Vancouver team turned what seemed
like certain defeat into victory in the
initial match OF the series with the
Stanford University team today for the
championship Of the Pacific Coast.
The final score was II points to in
favor of the Vancouver team. 1t was
a great game all through, but the ex-
citement of the last few minutes of the
match was something that even the
oldest football enthusiast will remem-
Der as long as he lives. At half-time
the score was points to In favor of
Vancouver. When the teams took the
field again there was no scoring during
the first twenty-five minutes of the in
terval Then Stanford, by using mass
plays, in which their previous expert
ence in the American style Of the game
gave them decided advantage. scored
two penalty tries. bringing the score
up to points to in favor of Stanford.
1t looked like a sure victory for Stan
ford, and some Of the supporters Of the
home team were already leaving the
grounds, confident that the game would
end that way.
Suddenly the Vancouver team gin
gered up, and from a throw up splen-
did rush was made, which was only
stopped at Stanfords 25yard line. The
Stanford team forced the ball back to
the center field again, where a serum
took place. In thiS-as, in fact. all
through the game-the Vancouver
team had the advantage. and another
rush followed, which only the brilliant
work of Fenton, the Stanford fullback,
saved from being a score.
Then, with less than minute to
play, the Vancouver forwards started
another savage rush, which even the
splendid interception Of the Stanford
team could not stop. Desperate tack
ling marked this portion Of the play,
but the Vancouver men were too swift
in passing the ball for the cardinal ag-
gregation to save the day.
Johnson. Marpole and Churton of the
Vancouver team participated in a
splendid passing movement, the last
named finally getting over the line for
try. The cheering that marked this
play eliminated in tremendous roar
when Captain Marpole of the Van
couver team converted the try, adding
two more points to vancouver's score
and winning the match by margin of
two points.
Four thousand people saw the game,
which was played at Recreation Park.
A. 8. M0rrin of Vancouver was referee.
Vancouver and Stanford will play two
more matches, on Saturday, December
20, and on New Years day.

RELIANCE KICKERS
DEFEAT CENTURY
CLUB TEAM

OAKLAND. Dec. 25.-The Reliance
Club football team defeated the rep
resentatives of the Century Athletic
Club of San Francisco in the first an
nual game at Freemans Park this
morning. The score was to 0.
The Oakland team gained it's points
within three minutes of the initial
KICKOFF, tumble by a Century back
giving Stroud an opportunity to pick
up the ball and ruin two-thirds the
length Of the field for touchdown.
The try at goal went wide. At the
following kickoff the Century team lost
in turn their opponents also failed to
gain the required ten yards. The
leather changed hands repeatedly until
Stroud emerged from scrimmage and
again carried the ball over the Gen.
tury goal But this time the officials
refused to allow the score, maintaining
that the agile player stole the ball.
Play for the rest of the half was fairly
even, though Reliance succeeded in
conf1ning the action to their enemies
territory most of the time.
When time was called for the second
half 1T was apparent that the Century
coach had put an almost entirely new
lineup into the field and the effect
of the fresh forces was at once ap-
parent In the operations tndr enSueQ.
However. the Oaklanders by dint of
hard labor worked the ball well toward
the goal, only to lose 1t on downs.
Century tried a forward pass which
Stroud intercepted and again hotfooted
it for touchdown. But again he was
called back-this time for an offside
play. Determined to score again. Re-
lance fought for every inch of the
distance until but one and a half yards
remained to be covered. when signal
was misunderstood and Century got the
ball and Hunters boot sent the pig
skin thirty yards down the field. An
exchange of punts followed. which were
fumbled by the men in the Reliance
back field. This put the home team
to the task of defending their own
goal, but though the transbay players
tried hard, time was called with the
ball on the twenty-yard line.
The field was inches deep with mud
in places, and rain fell during the
greater part of the contest making
it impossible to display any great
speed or handle the ball accurately. AS
result line plays of the old-fashioned
offtackle variety with great deal of
punting formed the bulk of the tactics
employed. and the spectators who
turned out to see the scintillating plays
whicn reports from the East had led
them to believe were not only possible
but common under the 1906 rules were
disappointed.
The teams lined IN as follows.

Los ANGELES. Dec. 25.-More than
il2,oeo admirers of horseracing broke
all attendance records at Ascot Park
today. They crowded the grand stand.
overhowed into the aisles. made the
betting ring a swirling maelstrom of
eager spectators and even lined the
paddock 1t was the greatest crowd

The California Club handicap was

colt is one Of J. A Benefits string
and has not been in the best of form
since his trip across the Rockies, but
he showed his class today by distanc
ing one Of the best fields of two-year-
olds of the season. The time was not
remarkable, but was fairly fast
Jockey Bullman celebrated his re-
turn to the saddle by winning
with his first mount, Beautiful
and Best at fours and skies.
His mount was considered a rank out
slider, and Bullman's riding may ex-
plain the winning.
In the California Club handicap Bull

was carrying too much weight and con-
siders anything more than six furlongs

man has been out of the money only
once.
The fate of H. Lewis, jockey, who
met his death in attempting to ride a
vicious horse in the first race Monday,
