VARSITY PLAYERS
SEEK MONOGRAMS
HOLMES UNDECIDED ON TEAM
HE WILL USE
u. S. C. Squad Practicing for Game
with Whittier saturday-only
intercollegiate Contest of
the Year

Coach Holmes Of U. S. c. has had his
pupils out every afternoon this week SO
far drilling the players for the coming
contest with Whittier college on Satur-
day. The game will be played at Bovard
field. and judging from the widespread
interest manifested the team should have
ample support.
Owing to the large number of untor-
tunate obstacles that have presented
themselves at various times so far this
season the Methodists hardly expect their
team to roll up very big score against
the Quakers, but will be content win
victory of any score.
Although the squad has been interrupt
ed SO frequently in its practice the tact
has been proved already in the prelim-
mary games of the year that the uni
yersity has probably the best material
1t ever had in one season and the scores
of 60 against Los Angeles high and 6l-O
against the Whittier state normal school
demonstrated the fact that the team as
a whole was we'll able to take care OIL
itself even in faster company, and with
a week OF steady scrimmage work
lairly fast exhibition should be put up
by the varsity.
Just who Will represent the MetnoulSl
Institution in the coming game is still
an unanswerable question. AS it is the
only intercollegiate contest of the ~-son
every man on the squad is anxious to
play at least one-half of the game, that
he may be assured of monogram for
his strenuous endeavors.
At present only three men are certain
of being played in their accustomed po-
sitions-Burek at full and Captain Haig-
Ter and Woolin at tackles. In the back
field Almy will in all probability play
quarter and receive the ball from either
Stockey or Bunker.
Shute will play at half, if his leg will
permit, while the other half will be al
ternated by Bridewell and Skinner. On
the line there is a merry contest on for
the end positions Carpenter and Bosby-
shell. last years ends, seem too heavy
and slow to hold down the wing positions
and Wallace, Goodenow and Hail are
making a strong fight for the jobs. The
first two named seem the most likely
candidates for the vacancies and will
doubtless be given an opportunity to play.
AS guards Stockey, Carpenter, Bosoy-
she'll Grail and Decius are in line, with
the positions cinched nv no two of the
bunch. Only faithful work for the re-
naming nights of the week will reveal
the fortunates' selected. 1t Is the inten-
tion of the coach to give as many scrubs
chance to play Saturday as possible,
so that a larger number of players may
be rewarded the MONOGRAM.

CHARLES FULLER GATES
is RAPIDLY RECOVERING
Injuries Sustained in Automobile Acci-
dent Do Not Prove Serious.
Will Leave Hospital
Next Week

Charles Fuller Gates, who was injured
by the overturning of a Ford automobile
last Sunday, is reported to be improving.
The principal injury that he sustained
was a badly cut knee.
Mr.. Gates and Eugene Rowe were try
ing out a Ford runabout on the Box
springs and as they rounded one of the
turns the clamps that hold the body to
the chassis gave way and the machine
turned turtle
Mr.. Rowe jumped and escaped with
practically no injury, but Mr.. Gates was
not so fortunate and went down under
the machine, which then turned COM
pletely over and slid dom the side Of
the hill.
Gates sustained several cuts and bruises
about the head and body, the worst of
his injuries being badly injured knee
which will keep him on crutches for a
few weeks at least. 1t is expected that
he will be out of the hospital next week.

MIX
ON GRLDLRON
Bs HANG 1T ON AS WITHOUT
MUCH TROUBLE
Near Graduate Comes Out Of Scrim-
mage with Busted Beak-Sec-
ond Teams Game Is on
Saturday

Senior AS are no more at the high
school-at least not on the gridiron. The
Bs of the same grade trimmed them to a
standstill at Fiesta park yesterday and
when the score. of % to 0 had beer tab
ulated the near graduates were way
short.
Right at the star. it was apparent that
the senior Bs would have all the better of
II, except in the weights. The AS ap-
parently didn't know such an awful lot
about the game, for they were undecided
on their plays. Almost every time they
did get started the ball was lost on a
tumble and the lower classmen were there
to take advantage of the mistakes. Coch-
ran and Nourse bore the brunt of the bat
tie, but they were powerless without
more help.
With Bergman as their coach and field
captain, the Bs were able to do as they
pleased, as the little first team quarter
back taught them many of the fine points
OF the game. Walker, at tackle, also
helped some and Bristol and Morgan did
more than their share of the work.
One of the Senior A players says he
does not care to mingle in that gridiron
society any more. McCready got in jam
somewhere along the line and when he
emerged from the fray a broken nose
bore token of the fierce onslaught. The
lineup was as follows:

CLEVER FIELD IN
OPENING FEATURE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Everything
is in readiness at Emeryville, so far as
the physical condition of the plant IS
concerned, for the opening of the local
racing season on Saturday next Super
intendent Grant has carried into execu-
ton his plan of having the plant in
perfect condition several days in
advance of the date set for the opening
and racing might be begun tomorrow
with the comfort Of the patrons complete
1y assured. The lawns and shrubbery
never presented a more attractive appear
ance at the opening Of season than at
present, and the grand stand and other
structures are as spick and span as If
about to be used for the first time. The
improvements that have been made will
appeal to the host of racegoers who will
swarm through the gates next Saturday.
with fine weather the opening probably
will be the most auspicious in the his
tory of racing in California. 1t is certain
that never has there been keener public
interest in the sport than now. Many
more horses of class are ready to race
than ever before at the beginning of
season, and the racing itself should be
on a higher plane than usual. The track
is lightning fast and it would not be at
all surprising If several new track rec
ords were made in the early days of the
meeting.
In the expectation that the speculative
end Of the sport will be of greater volume
than ever before small army of book
makers and their attaches Is on hand,
and It is considered highly probably that
from thirty to thirty-hve layers of odds
win hang up their states in the big bet
ting ring on opening day, as against
twenty-three last year.
While many of the followers of the
a,-o o1raadu IN fhe ground innOrn-
ing trains from the east during the next
few days will be laden with turf enthus-
lasts, eagerly pursuing their way hither
for the opening of the long California
season. The track officials, from presid-
ing Judge down, are on hand ready to
take up their respective duties.
Probable Starters
AS far as can be foretold at this writ
ing the probable starters in the opening
handicap, the feature of next Saturdays
program, will include the following:

Seconds to Play

st. Vincent's and high school will send
their second teams together at Fiesta
park Saturday, and some fancy doings
are expected from the minor players.
The high school men have not been out
this season, and their action will be
watched with interest. Coach Sorenson
has them in fair shape and is confident
that they will be able to hold their own.
st. Vincent's have been working hard
and Manager Carroll thinks there will be
nothing to it but his team. The seconds
have been working against Hempel's big
eleven all season and are tough enough
to play a fast game.

 Rev. MT. Lupton says he has been praying for years for the wonderful gift as is spoken of in the second. third and fourth verses of the sec. ond chapter of Acts. Recently, says the minister, he was under the power of God, as though in a trance, for II hours, and when he awoke he was able to speak five languages, most of them unknown tongues and which at present he is unable to lnterpret.

 Hard Liquor.
 Chicago and Kansas City give two of the best of the years hard-liquor yarns. In one case three saloon keep CTS were fined $7,50O, to be paid the orphans of a man who had died of drink; and in the other certain Sel- by Jones was sentenced to get drunk and stay so. Poor Jones was later ar rested in Chicago for stealing in order to raise the wherewith to carry out the Kansas City sentence.

FORTUNES IN SABLE SKINS.
With Skins at $45O Each, Prices Soar
 Into Thousands.

The two most expensive Sable coats in the world are worn by the empress of Russia and Queen Maud of Norway.
 The empress coat is made from pure sables, the best which could be obtained in Europe, and is valued by an expert in furs at something be- tween $250,0O0 and $400,0O0, while that which Queen Maud wears would be worth nearly half as much.
 The manager of London firm said that within the last two years the price of sable had increased by 15 per cent, and was still going up.
 "The price is practically prohibi- tive" he said, land we have to find substitute in top Russian sable, smart sets of which cost as much as s1.0o0 If the same were ma4 in real sable the price would be about s7.500 or more.

HOVEL SPORT IN OLD PENNSYL-
 vANIA IRON REGION.
Abandoned Shafts, Stocked with Small Fry, Now Ideal Sport for Anqlers-Terrapi Also Raised
 for Profit.

Allentown, .Pa-Perhaps the most peculiar fishing places in the country are found in Lehigh county. When the failure of Jay Cooke & Go. of New York started a panic which two years later swept over this county it closed every hematite ore mine in Lehigh and caused the loss of millions or dollars. These abandoned ore mines, covering acres of land and ranging in depth from 30 to 100 feet, gradually began to fill with water, and in that condition they remained for years.
 It was boy who first conceived the idea that these ore mines would be ideal breeding places for fish. He had read a book on fish culture, and he noticed that particular pit had the kind of aquatic vegetation which the book said was neces- sary. So he caught lot of sun fish, catfish, suckers, eels and clubs and dumped them into the waters of the pit and then forgot all about it.
 These fish, undisturbed for several years, multiplied with amazing ra- pidity. Several years later fish erman on his way home from trout stream happened to pass this particular pit. Merely as a joke he baited his hooks with worms and made cast He had scarcely done so when his reel commenced to sing and to his great amazement he pull ed out two enormous sunfish. h. side of half an hour he had filled his creel.

LATEST CHICAGO SEER

voice proclaim in his ear that he was Daniel reincarnated to proclaim the great truth to tae world Awak- ing, Dr. Gentry hastened back to Chi cago and summoned his followers.
 In his glimpse of the world as it used to be Daniel discovered that the deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf indeed had been once an es- tablished fact and he set immediate ly about to discover how the change had come about Naturally he turned first to the book which he had writ ten in those far-distant times when he had witnessed to the truth before the king of Babylon and there he found the secret revealed.
 According to the prophet the earth was thrown off it's balance at the time of the crucifixion and in the 19 centuries which have elapsed it has been wandering on it's misguided way, accommodating snow and ice, formerly unknown, and incidentally disrupting the internal navigation system of North America. As a conclusive proof of his statement Dr. Gentry points to the fact that the magnetic pole is several hundred miles from the north pole and also that investiga- ton has proved that the polar regions formerly were within the tropical zone.
 This state of things is all go- ing to be altered very shortly, he says, but the manner in which the change will occur promises small comfort to Americans. The new prophet essentially is man of wrath and his prophecies teem with denunciations and calamities.
 When the change comes, he says, Lake Erie will disappear and Lake Michigan will arise and sweep Chi cago out of existence. At the same time all the cities of the Atlantic coast will be inundated, he says. In order to avoid any unfairness in his distribution of calamities Daniel II. has provided earthquakes for the de- struction of all the great cities of the interior and with disregard for figures, declares that "incalculable billions of people will be destroyed" t Unlike Dowie, Dr. Gentry has no intention of building 3 new Zion. Those who believe in him, he claims, will be caught up out of the general devastation and conveyed to Jerusa- lem. He apparently is not concerned about what will happen in the rest the world apart from North America and Palestine.

"DANIEL H." REVEALS IDENTITY
 TO SMALL BAND.
Says Lake Will Wipe City Out-De- clares Earth Was Thrown Off It's Balance at Time of
 Crucifixion.

Chicago.-A new prophet has arisen ln Chicago to seize the throne va cated by John Alexander Dowie. The latest reincarnation of the seers of old is Daniel H." better known to the outside world as Dr. William Dan iel Gentry, a former State street phy- sician. The new prophet revealed his identity to band of 23 souls at Central Mission hall on Clark street.
 The people of Chicago need worry themselves no longer over the project of a deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf, proclaimeth the prophet, who is strictly up-to-date seer. In a very short time the earth is go- ing to take a little jump of a couple of hundred miles, as result of which the deep waterway and many other improvements in the terrestrial globe will be accomplished immediately.
 AS matter of fact, it is hardly worth while for the citizens of Chi cago to bother themlseves about any thing at all, for they and their city will soon be resting quietly under 50 feet of water, and the ships of the nations of the earth will sail quietly over the Masonic temple. So saith the prophet.
 In the orthodox manner prescribed by immemorial tradition, the gift of prophecy and the revelation of his identity with the hero of the lions den came upon the unsuspecting Dan iel like a flash. For nine years he had abandoned the practice of medi- cine to take up the more lucrative business of faith healing and the casting out of unclean spirits, for this purpose travelling all over the con tinent.
 While passing near Hamilton, Ont, recently he fell into deep trance, he declares. Before his eyes stretch ed a great valley. At the same time his sight attained a remarkable per spicuity and he gazed with eagle glance over the entire continent of North America, and saw the world as it had been in the days of the cave men, before even the Indian had seen the prairies.
 Simultaneously the seer heard a
