ATHLETIC WOMEN
FIND PLEASURE
AFIELD

The members of the San Francisco
Women's Athletic Association have
maintained their organization through
out all the trying times this year and
are stronger than at any period since
their club was organized. On Wednes-
day night of each week the members
meet at their gymnasium, 1888 Clay
street where they exercise under the
direction Of one of the best instructors
in this city.
The members take great interest in
this indoor work and show much skill
on the muscle building machines pro-
vided foR their use. They are also put
through a course of calisthenics which
is a builder of muscle
The members have had their great
est sport in a series of walks which
have taken them over the picturesque
byways of Marin County and also those
of this peninsula. twenty-five of the
members enjoyed tramp recently
from Tiburon to FL Campo in quest
of red berries. Their search was re-
warded and they returned laden with
berries and with their cheeks all aglow.
The members are enthusiasts on walk
ing and recommend it as one of the
greatest of agents for health. The
club is open to all ladies and Ii ex-
poets to show a marked increase in
membership during the next few
months

pire Circuit Company against the Cans

third of the amount and the company
to the other two-thirds. Richard is

may derive through the ownership of

There are several classy races on the
card provided for today at Emeryville.
The feature will be the Filtration
Handicap at mile and a sixteenth,
for which the entries are Proper, Blue
Eyes, Lubin, Rubric and Martinmas.
The Jennings horse has been assigned
top weight of 100 pounds and should be
able to score on class, after his good
second to Borghesi on Thanksgiving
Day. Rubric ran swell race when he
ever, and must be conceded a royal
chance. Lubin is improving right
along, and the distance today will be
more to his liking than on the occa-
sion of his last start Blue Eyes and
Martinmas seem to be outclassed by
the other three. but one of them may
upset things by dropping into the
money.
The next best race on the card will
be the last of the day, in which a
bunch of speedy sprinters will try con-
illusions at six furlongs. Ruby has
run two good races and should be able
to win her first brackets of the meet
ing In this event Royal Rogue had
hard luck his last out and Will be close
up today Ethel Day looms as a dan
gerous factor. She was given bad
ride when ST. Francis and Mary F..
beat her on Saturday. Aaron Jr. was
fast one = at the bush meetings
Woolma is shifty 2yearold.
In the 2-year-old race, which will
open the programme, Christmastide,
Ocean Shore and Sam Barber figure
close. All have won their last outs.
and Ocean Shore has won three
straight Christmastide looks just
shade the best. The start will prob
ably cut a great deal of figure in the
result.
Orchan is in good form and should
repeat by taking the second, If he is
given a good ride. r. Davis will be
up on Orchan today. Byronerdale, La
zell, Indammable and Benvolio look to
be contenders.
Ray will like the route in the third
and should be able to- win it. Lone
Wolf is the probable contender.
Eustig is picked to win the fifth upon
the supposition that Elwood is not
ready. The Natter is stake horse
among a lot bf selling platers, but he
has shown nothing in his work to war
rant an expectation of winning. Met
lakatla and Ed Lilburn appear to have
a look in.

COLD WEATHER AGREES
WITH HERMANN'S TRAINING
Kid Makes Good Showing and Gains
Supporters Among the Tono-
pah SHORTS

TONOPAH, New, Dec AFTER a
hard days work on the road and in
the gymnasium, Kid Hermann today
made the following statement: TT
is a great relief to me to find that /
have not noticed the altitude in the
least. and 1 expect to be in shape to go
as long a route as necessary to beat
Cans. My wind could not be better at
this stage of the training, and by the
time the fight is to come off l will be
in the best condition possible. The
cold weather agrees with me. and from
now on 1 will try to make my matches
SO that I can do my training in the
cool of the year"
Hermann boxed Trainer Ryan. four
rounds today. The Kid made a good
showing in the clinches as well as in
defensive work He covered up from
attack so as to make 1t impossible to
reach his head, and led with great
accuracy from a crouching position.
Hermann's daily showing is making a
good impression on local sports, and
he is winning over many people who
formerly thought he had no chance
with the champion. He did eight miles
on the road in the morning and an
hours hard work in the gymnasium
this afternoon.

KrcKERs WITHOUT A CAPTAIN

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec. A.
The uncertainty of the football situa-
ton here has caused peculiar state of
affairs among the members of the team
No captain has been chosen, a state of
affairs without precedent in the annals
of the Cardinal. From present indica-
lions the squad is apt to remain cap
tainless until next semester. The two
games of football which are to be con-
sidered call for such widely di0erent
qualifications in the choice of a con-
sistent leader that the men have come
to no conclusion as to who will cap
tain the Stanford team in 1907.
In case the faculty decides that Rug
by is again to be the intercollegiate
sport, Kenneth Fenton '0s, who was the
star of the big game, will undoubtedly
be chosen captain The uncertainty is
increased by the absence OF Coach
flanagan.

the equal of which has not been seen
here before. AT yesterdays caucus
about 1875 men were present, two OIL
whom were Perkins men. or course
there are few more here, but the odds
were so Overwhelmingly against them
that they laid down and didn't attend.
The comm tteeman. standpatter, was
asked by the Cummins boys to holo
the polls open for two hours, as they
did at the Rockwell City caucus, but
he refused and called the old-style
