has been on the ground but few days
and was in no shape. She viii be
heard from later.
The favorites Jared badly. as there
were a number of the choices which
failed to bring home the coin. Among
the choices which cost the talent were

who went down before Young Geral-
dine; Sepoy's defeat by Go Ashore, at
to 3; May Boys defeat by Go Ashore,
at TO l, and several others at various
prices.

Curley Wins Finals
From VenSanO

The handicap singles tournament of
the Golden Gate tennis club, which was
started three weeks ago on the courts
at the park. was completed yesterday.
Only the final round remained to be
played and in this match E. j. Curley
disposed of H C. Vensano. The players
met on even terms, each being handi-
capped at 10, and a good match result
ed. 1t required five full sets to settle
the question of supremacy and Curley
won only through superior steadiness.
The winner is a member of the Golden
Gate junior tennis club. He used a long
low drive to good advantage in this
hnal match, and to this he owes his
victory
Considering the fact that both play
ers We're competing in the finals of a
tournament of this kind for the first
time, they put up a good article of ten
mis- for lower class men. The match
was to nave been played IN the after
noon. but the players availed them
selves of an opportunity in the morn
ing. owing to the threatening weather.
Ihough the match went the full five
sets, not one of them went into deuce.
The first set was closely contested un-
til the score reached A. when Curley
ran out the next two games and set.
The second set went to Curley easily by
62 score.
Vensano settled down in the third
set and Curley was inclined to be a
trife wild. The result was that Ven
sano took the set by a 6-3 score.
The fourth set was much the same
as the third. Vensano assumed an
early lead and was never overtaken
With the score two sets all, there was
considerable speculation as to which
player would take the fifth and final
set, but it did not last long Curley
went right into the lead and almost
before any one realized it he had taken
score Of the match was Cd, 6-2, S-6.

Oil in Marshes Makes
Ducks Migrate

SAN RAFAEL. Nov. 22.-Oil oozing
from defective taps and cocks of the
Standard oil tanks at Point Richmond
are responsible for the poor duck hunt
ing on the western San Pablo bay and
for the dearth of clans on the mud
fats in the bay, according to hunters
who have recently returned from the
marshes which were formerly the
Mecca for shotgun wie1ders.
According to the hunters the oil has
f1oated into the marshes until the grass
appears black. The seeds from which
the ducks procure much of their sus-
tenance have been destroyed by the
floating oil. AS a result the hunters
have to seek new fields as the ducks
have gone.
Edward J. Reed, superintendent of
Key route construction, was in search
of clans in the northern part of Rich
ardson bay, where the bi-valves used
to thrive. He failed to unearth any.
The beach and flats are full of dead
clans. he said. In discussing the mat
ter. Reed said the OIL is again respon-
sible for this condition. He declared
that the same condition exists on the
Berkeley side and is caused by the
same means

CHICAGO. Nov. 22-Packey McFar-

Cans, lightweight champion of the

present plans are upset.
Packey's manager said today that
preliminary arrangements had been

ing with Cans over shorter route
In discussing the proposed match to-
oay Manager Gilmore said:
am matching Mcfarland with Cans
LOT the reason that Nelson has said he
VIII not meet Packey until the latter
mas made reputation. My ideas Of
reputation differ from Nelson's but
as he is the champion we will have to
40 what he says. He has told McFar-
land he must beat Cans or make a
credItable showing against the colored
man before he will consider taking him
on for a fight
if we reach an agreement with Cans
ana see no reason why we should
not, the bout will come off on the
coast some time next month"

MANY POSTAL ROBBERIES
LOOK LIKE GANGS WORK
Federal Officials Call on Biggy
to Stop Series of Burglaries
in Branch Offices

Postofice inspectors will today call
the attention Of Chief of Police Biggy
to the numerous robberies which have
taken place in the last few weeks in
branch postoffices located in drug
stores.
Saturday night the store of Isaac
son, 1401 Geary street. was entered,
for the second time within two weeks,
the burglars using a Jimmy to force
the front door and breaking open the
desk in which the government moneys
are usually kept.
Redmond's pharmacy, in Eddy street,
was also robbed for the second time,
of a sum of money, the thieves secur-
ing on their first visit over 5000. The
last robbery will amount to about $25.
That the robbers are familiar with
the movements of the police is evil
denced by their daring. In both in
stances the doors were forced with a
jimmy, the measurements of which cor
respond to the marks made on previous
visits.
The postoffice authorities are making
thorough investigation of the rob-
berries and will detail special men on
the cases if Biggy fails to apprehend
the thieves.

The Thistles and San Franciscos
played a surprisingly good game at
Freeman's park and the result-S to l
in favor of the Scotchmen-is FAIR
reflex of the way the teams played.
The Thistles started off with rush
and after 15 minutes play Kelliher
found the net with fast shot. The
San Franciscos worked well in the
open, but when a timely pass might
have done some good near goal in
dividualism spoiled all chance to score.
E. Jackson added another for the
Thistles after half an hours play, and
half time found the San Franciscos on
the short end of to 0 score.
Scott, who was playing a great game
at outside left for the Scots, was re-
sponsible for the third goal. Securing
the ball near the center of the field he
made a pretty run and crossed accu-
rately. Gray lying handy neatly head
ed through.
The finest goal of the day was scored
by Evans shortly before the conclusion
of the game. Catching the eaball on the
drop on the left wing he sent the
sphere right across the field and be-
fore the goal keeper knew what was
noPPSlIlhS tlie San IIdHOiSNCo 49,
only two goals to the bad. A fast pace
was maintained by both teams right
up to the finish, but no further scoring
resulted. James Duncan, the old time
player, acted as referee and gave a
creditable display.
The teams lined up as follows:
Thistles-M -McRitchie Gore. Kay, E. Jackson,
w jackson, McTurke, Kellher, Townes, Gray,
Nichols and Scott.
San Francscos-Sto Dewhurst. Evans Per
kins, Siggs, Spencer. Wills, Wheatley, Hailes,
Cochrane and Dowding.
1t was an easy matter for the Hor-
nets to beat the Scotias to 0 on the
Alameda field and although neither
side displayed any class the game was
played a superior game to what they
have been providing lately and with
the addition of few new men the
other clubs will not have things so
much their own way. The teams:

Barbs and Olympics
Ready for Game
By William Unmack

Tickets for the big football game
Thanksgiving day at California field
were put on sale at Spalding's last Sat
urday. Already there has been a big
demand for them, and from present ap-
pearances a large crowd will attend.
The Barbarians returned from Reno
last night. The team is in the best of
condition, but the members are not san
guine as to the outcome of their game
next Thursday. The Olympics are
training hard and the men of the
winged 20" will be in perfect condition
There was a rumor circulated during
last week that neither Sands or Browne
would be able to take their places in
the "Barbs' pack. Secretary Price an
nounced. however, that these two men
would be in their usual places. Sands
and Browne are considered by many to
have no equals on this coast as front
rank men.
A notable absentee from the Barbs'
three -quarter line will be little Sharpe.
This player had a rib broken few
weeks ago playing soccer football and
this will keep him out of the game.
1t is more than probable that Kerri-
gan, the Olympic captain, will be un-
able to take his place at five -eighths. 1t
is to be hoped the popular ca7tain will
be able to play. as his consistent work
all the season has proved him an adept
at the Rugby game.

TO BUILD AUTO
ROADS IN ALASKA
Trunk Line System of High
ways Being Planned by

Will Open Up the Country at
All Seasons of the
Year
By K. x. PHommedieu

What will have more effect upon
Alaska than in the upbuilding and de-
veloping of that section is the hasten
ing to completion of the trunk line
system of roads which is now being
done, and over which automobiles may
travel When the road from Valdez to
Fairbanks is completed vehicles will
be able to reach the interior all sum
mer. Diggings will be opened up again.
which have been idle for some time on
account of the great expense of trans
portation and breaking of trails. and all
the attendant hardships. With the
completion of the new road. they may
be reached with comparative ease, an1
branch roads will open up new and
heretofore unexplored territory. 1t is
thought thatthe annual fall exodus will
not be as great when the people find
they can get in and out whenever they
choose.
Major W. P. Richardson. chairman OF
the road commission of Alaska. is pre-
pairing his report and will be Joined In
Seattle in a few days by the other two
members of the commission. He is
most enthusiastic over the road work
and says he considers it his life work
of his own making.
The major says:
Beginning at Valdez, we now have
fine road up through keystone can
yon to Wortmans.
That canyon has blocked more travel
than any other piece of river in Alaska,
but it can now freeze or stay open,
we care not which. A road was blast
ed out of the solid rock. to get
through, but it was well worth the
trouble. 1t is a great scenic piece of
road.
From there across Dutch fiat fine
road has been built TO Wortmans. and
an eight foot trail which can be trav-
eled by wagon leads over Thomson's S
pass. Next year we intend to put a
bridge across Gulkana river, and with
the road we have partly and fully COM
pleted, added to what we will do next
year, the line will be ready for stages
the year following.
Next year, if we get an appropria-
tion large enough, we will widen the
road down the Big delta. and put a
ferry on the Tanana at McCartys. Dur
ing the last summer three droves of
cattle went from Valdez to Fairbanks.
Now while these trunk lines will mean
much to the big camps, the branch
lines will make these highways alive
with people in a few years. Mail will
not be held back for days because
some boat gets caught on a bar 1t
can be delivered summer or winter on
