BEALS C. WRICHTS
STANDING Is
QUESTIONED

= LONDON, Nov. 14-At the annual
general meeting of the English Lawn
Tennis Association, held today, the
name of Beals c. Wright was proposed
as the representative of the United
States on the council, but 1t was with
drawn when the question of the ruling
of the National Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion of America on his amateur status
was raised.
Fifty three of the delegates voted
for and thirty FIVE voted against the
proposed rule debarring any one en-
gagged in the manufacturing or retail
ing of tennis requisites. either as en-
ployer or employe, from acting as
referee, Handicapped, secretary or man
ager of any prize meeting proposed by
the Lawn Tennis Association or affili-
ated organizations. The point. how
ever. was lost, as there was not a two
thirds majority. The discussion brought
direct reference to Archdale Palmer,
secretary of the All England Club and
manager of the championship contests,
who is-also manager of a firm which
manufactures tennis requisites.
The meeting adopted a resolution
that no person acting as referee or
Handicapped in an open meeting for
a fee. or to whom money was paid for
travelling or living expenses, be al
lowed to compete in such meeting.

promises to promote a big fight there
some time next year. He says he Will
look over the field carefully when the
time to make a match arrives and will
get the best men before the public.
Alex Greggains is preparing to break
into the four-round fighting game again
and to this end viii revive the San
Francisco Athletic Club, which was a
factor in boxing for years. He has Sc
cured Walton's Pavilion on Golden Gate
avenue and viii organize a boxing class
there Monday night. He expects to be
able to secure a permit and will run a
show each month, as in the past.
Billy Roche is becoming discouraged
after many setbacks in the matter q
matches. He has shown skill in pick
ing out men, but he finds it difficult to
bring them together. His latest disap-
pointment is in the proposed. match be-
tween Lew Powell and Young Erne, the
Philadelphia boxer. The latter wired
him yesterday that. owing 10 illness in
his family, he would be unable to come
out here at the present time. Roche is
one of those who think the four-round
game will in time kill off'all interest In
the longer bouts, as the followers of
the ring will become surfeited with the

HAFFEY DID NOT
CRITICISE THE
REFEREE

BERKELEY, Nov. 14.--Resenting
criticisms that declared him to be
something less than good sportsman,
Captain Haffey of the Rugby football
team of the university today gave out
a statement denying that he ever had
said Referee Unmack was unfair.
Haney was quoted in one of the San
Francisco newspapers on Sunday morn
ing as objecting to Unmack's referee
ing, having found it unjust and unfair.
Captain Haffey's announcement today
appeared in the student daily over his
signature, and reads as follows:
The article which purported to be an
interview with me. and which appeared
In one of the city papers last Sunday,
was entirely unauthorized and unau-
thentic. I have given out no state
ment that would SO detract from Stan
ford's victory, nor have 1 anything to
say that would reflect upon the in
tegrity of Referee Unmack. The al
legged interviews expressing sentiments
derogatory of any man who particpat-
ed in Saturdays game are false and
unfounded.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, .ov. IL
contrary to the expectations of the
student managers, Rugby has proved
TO be profitable. The receipts of the
game at Berkeley last Saturday were
announced today by Graduate Manager
~. D. Bales, who has audited all of the
accounts with Snedigar, the California
nnancier. They found that $27,1S6 was
taken in at the game last Saturday.
Ihe expenses incurred by the two man.
ayers will amount to about $500. 1t is
inquired that Stanford will receive s1S,-
4oo- Last year the total receipts were
$24,o22. The fact that the contest was
heid at Palo Alto last year Influenced
the financial returns considerably. Two
years ago, when the game was held at
berkeley and the practice <of campus
games was inaugurated, the gate re-
cefpts We're s30,S0S. a gain Of $4,000
over the figures of this year.
The Stanford student body cleared
sfzS from the performance at Ye Lib
erty Theater, where the students as
sembled after the game. The receipts
OF the game will do much to pay off
the debts of the student body incurred
in erecting the bleachers last year.
Practically all of Berkeley's profits will
be used to meet the cost of widening

BIG DEMAND FOR
NEW MODEL
AUTOS
BY r. r. I'Horr1r1edieu

Automobile row is now busy selling
cars. The few agencies which have
1907 models are reporting big sales.
In fact. such reports are coming from
all the agencies. Those who have not
yet received their new demonstrating
vehicles are booking orders from cata-
logues. 1t looks as if the full allot-
ment to the coast will be sold out be-
fore the spring arrives. The most
amusing part of the business is that
customers are paying premium for
the first arrivals One of the agents
said yesterday:
1T is surprising how keen the buy
ers are after the new models. We have
booked UP all the cars we can get up to
the new year. We are not promising
anything until after the first two
weeks in January. One man who put
up a deposit on car today came back
about an hour after he had left his
check and asked If we would let him
see the list of those who had placed
orders in advance of his. We of course
complied, and after looking it over he
left the office. only to return with a
written order from one of the first
five men who had made deposits for
the next years make, stating that the
bearer could have his car and that he
would take the one to come later.
wondered what kind of a combination
this was, and the new purchaser
laughed and said he had tried several
of those who were entitled to cars be-
fore him and had only met one who
would change. 1t cost that buyer $3.50
to get upon the list
This points to but one thing, and
that is that those who are thinking
of buying 1907 cars Will have to place
thSir orders early If they are going
to do any motoring this spring. One
firm has sold out one line of cars for
the year and is now figuring with an
other manufacturer in the East for
cars.
This Is a pointer for the membership
committee of the Automobile Club of
California. 1t will be possible with a
little good missionary work to carry
the membership of the club up to the
1000 mark, which will place 1t in the
front ranks of the clubs of the United
States. The executive committee of the
club will hold meeting the early part
of next week to consider the action of
the Park Commissioners on the park
road question and also TO take up the
matter of law violations by local au-
tomobilists. 1t is going to be hard
for those who do not observe the laws
hereafter.

CHANGE IN RUGBY
RULES NEEDED,
SAYS COACH

BERKELEY, Nov 14.-Coach Taylor
issued a signed statement today, ad-
dressed to college men. in which he
discusses the football game of last Sat-
day with especial reference to the crit
icisms of the referee that have been
made. Coach Taylor advocates two
referees instead of one. and extra as
sistants to aid the referee. His state
ment is as follows:
Most Of the alumni who had wit
messed some OF the preliminary games
and all of the football squad had
learned to like Rugby, and large
all things being taken into considera-
tion. But on November 10 many of
these same men felt that Rugby had
however, is a superficial view to take.
for it was not the game that was at
fault. but the rules in regard to OH
cials We take no exception TO the
penalties inflicted on US. but we do
feel that the English rules afford no
means of seeing all offenses. An OFF,
side play, forward pass: foot raised
ball taken out of the serum by hand
and other such offenses, if undetected,
can easily loose or win game for one
side of the other.
The referee question Is a burning
question even in England. where one
would naturally think that good refer
eeS We're plentiful In the whole OF
Great Britain there are only four men
considered competent to referee the
biggest matches. In some English
Countries il is customary to ask two
we'll known citizens to act as supple
mentary officials and to watch for any
infringement of the rules from the side
lines. Hence remedy Is certainly
needed, and that remedy is evidently
to increase the officials and to special
ize their duties. 1t is impossible for
one man to see everything unless he
has the eyes and wings of a hawk.
We long since found this out in the
American game The touch judges,
too. should be experienced Rugby play
ers, since many intricate problems are
likely to be presented to them near the
goal line.

RACE BETWEEN TRAINS.
Neitber of Engineers Heeded "Broke in

From the Kansas City Times.
 The following story was told last week by J. D. McNamara, assistant general pas senger agent of the Wabash railroad:
 From Clark to Mexico, Mo, our line runs almost parallel with that of the AL ton. The distance is about 20 miles. It is open country and the grades are light The going is good, and trains race with each other as often as occasion offers
 "One day two long freight trains, one on each road. reached Clark about toseth- CT race. of course, was in order Pass ing Centralia the Wabash engineer turned partly around in his cab and noting that the Alton man was minus a portion Of his train, gave a broke in two whistle signal for the information of his rival The Alton man, hearing the signal him self. turned in his seat. and observing that the Wabash train was considerably shorter than when the race began, he pulled the throttle open a notch or two more and smiled as he looked forward to winning the contest. As the speed of the Wabash train continued to increase, the Alton man in a spirit of banter gave with his whistle the broke in two signal. As there was no apparent effort made to stop, the signal was repeated.
 Again and again was the signal given by the racing enginemen.
 At length Mexico was reached both trains arriving there at the same time, each engineer laughing at the joke ne would have on his competitor when the break would be discovered As soon as ne stopped at the Mexico water tank the All ton man called across the right of way:
 How far you goin' without your tail lights?
