Turf Field in
Favor of the
Blue and Gold
Change From Heavy Sand to
Grass Surface Should Benz
eft CafifOrnias
By WILLIAM UNMACK

The fact that the California Rugby
team is to meet the Stanford team on
turfed field is giving the supporters
of the blue and gold added encourage
ment for the prospects of. their par
ticular choice. The change from a
surface of the Stanford field is of
necessity going to be in favor of the
California team and its play will show
the difference in very marked de-
gree. 1t stands to reason that coming
from their own heavy field on to the
faster grass field the blue and gold
but play a much faster game. The
held practice on the turf
announced by the respective coaches
tomorrow afternoon and the anxiety
of waiting. will be over for number

form all through the season. There is

make his big with a small margin.
However tomorrow will tell the final
tale. At Stanford the only place open
tion, and two freshmen in .Worswick
and Cass are the contenders. for the
place. Since Reed was placed out of
the running Cass has taken his place
as half. but Worswick is running him
very closely.
A largely attended meeting of the
California Rugby union was held last
night at 19S Sutter street 1t was de-
tween the winners of the intercol-
legiate game Saturday and a picked
team from the Rugby union. 1t was
pointed out that such game would at
tract considerable attention. and from
a standpoint of Rugby would prove
of more merit than a game between
the winners of the Wolff trophy and
the winners of the intercollegiate game.
Arrangements were also practically
completed for the schedule of games
for the Wolff trophy. The Barbarians
and Olympic teams will play off their
fixture Saturday, November 90 but
where the game will be played is not
finally decided on. The Presidio Ath-
letic grounds and the California field
are both under discussion for the
event. On the following Saturday the
Barbarians will meet the Reliance club
in the same competition. Should the
Barbs defeat the Olympic team and
then the Reliance defeat the Barbs, the
trophy will go to the Reliance.

Cupid Wrestles
Frank GOtCh In
Broken Match
Worlds Champion Sued by Miss
Sadie Curry for $25,0OO for
Breach of Promise
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


CHICAGO. Nov. 9.-Frank A Gotch,
chapion wrestler of the world. who is
also noted for. his conquests with fem
ininity. was made defendant in a $685.
000 breach of promise suit fled on be-
half. of Miss Sadie Curry in the circuit
court today.
Dearest baby my loveliest love-
and dearest darling are just few
of the pet names he is supposed to
have lavished on the young woman who
seeks money balm for her wounded
affections. Her legal representatives,
Pattison & Shaw, declared they had
something like so letters of the
"mushy" kind to back up their claim
in court.
However, the identity of the claim
ant is shrouded in mystery. Goteh de-
clared he does not know her and never
heard of her, but her lawyers said he
was only fooling They said her
parents live in Minnapolis and that she
came to Chicago and established res
idence. They refused to permit her
to be interviewed at this time.
In March, 1907, stories were tele-
graphed over the country to the eff
feet that Gotch was about to take as
his bride Ida Emerson, the divorced
actress wife of Joe Howard. song
writer and playwright, but this went
by the boards the same as numerous
other stories of the wrestler's alleged
love engagements.
Gotch was trying to force his way
through the crowd for his contest
when approached by a reporter, and ap-
peared taken back with the first an
nouncement concerning the purpose of
the call. When shown a reference to
the suit, slight smile broke on his
face, and he handed back the reference
with a look of annoyance. There is
nothing to it, he finally said when
pressed further. Il never heard of that
woman. No. l can not recall the name /;
don't know her.

the Japanese words. A word may in
japanese be quite parliamentary. and
when interpreted into English eonsti-
tutes an insult.
Errors in Interpretation of this kind
have, l believe, caused japanese CORE
spondenee in the Nippu Jiji to be given
a meaning, when put into English,
which Japanese readers would never
put upon it.
Furthermore, the Higher Wage As
ISOLATION was not the inspiring cause
of the correspondence in the Nippu
Jill; but was formed, after the agita-
ton for higher wages had been dis
cussed by all the japanese papers, for
the purpose OF advancing the wages of
the Japanese plantation laborers. We
do not follow the policy laid down by
any paper, but endeavor to unite all
the parties to the controversy for the
common purpose of increasing the
wages of japanese by legitimate means
| and by no other; and we only ask a
fair hearing of our side of he case
which we intend to have no matter
to what extent we may be prosecuted

FRED MAKING THE FIRST
TO STAND FROM UNDER

Editor Advertiser.-In your issue of
the 14th inst. you stated that l was
president of the Higher Wage Associa-
tion, among the japanese, and also the
financial hacker of a show ridiculing
the planters and the conservative Jap
anese regarding their stand concern
ing. the wages of japanese plantation
laborers.
The same article accused the Nippu
Jiji, as the mouthpiece of the Higher
Wage Association, of "calling in I'M
mistakable language upon the laborers
to commit acts of Violence and of
going :. to the point of urging the muir
der of the editors of two rival papers.
Your issue of the 10th inst. stated,
on the night of Sunday, the 18th inst,
/ became involved in row with one
Hirada, concerning the receipts from
the shows on the previous Friday and
Saturday evenings; and that the mat
ter of the Japanese agitators had been
taken up by the Federal grand jury.
| am not financially er otherwise in
terested in the receipts from any of
Japanese agitation for higher wages
and | hope the grand jury will investi.
gate the matter thoroughly, as the
Higher Wage Association, and al
| other associations / may be connected
with, neither urge the commission OF
acts of violence nor the accomplish
ment of their purposes by any other
| illegal means; but, on the contrary, We
merely wish to take such steps for the
| preservation and advancement Of oul
interests as the laws allow, and in tina
| way to obtain our just rights and re
Enumeration.
| The agitation for higher wages wa
first started by the Nippu Jill, and a
| that time the other three local Japan
csc papers, the Hawaii Shinpo, the Ha
| wall Jiyu, and the Chronicle, opposes
the agitation on the ground that
was inopportune; and they cited tn
opinions and actions of such men a
Mr.. J. P. Cooke in support of thei
| contention. ANY statements in TIL
Nippu Jiji that may have been inter
preted to be discreditable to Mr.. Cook
and other prominent and distinguish
men like him, or to incite the laborer
to acts of violence, have been the re
suit of this japanese newspaper col
troversy.
i When the grand jury investigate
this matter we hope that they will hav
a fair. translation made of the corr
,spondence from the Nippu Jill, referre
to in your article of the 14th inst,
the literal translation of that corr
srendence, which you professed to pu
! fish, does not give the true meaning

The Army in 1908.
Probably the most important event
in the history of the military estab-

ton of W. III. Taft as Secretary of

of Luke E. Wright of Tennessee as his
successor. There were no wars and no
