SAN PABLO HANDICAP
T0DAY'S BIC FEATURE
Eight Horses Have Accepted the Weights
With Sewell on Top With 122 Pounds
BY E. w. CLARKE

Having whetted the appetite of the
memory bettors with two days of in
teresting racing and one day of rest,
Emeryville offers a promising card for
this afternoon, the feature of which is
the San Pablo handicap at five fur
longs. Eight sprinters acc pied the
weights, Sewell shouldering the top
impost of 122 pounds on account of his
easy victory of Saturday Cloudlight
is let in with 104 and Trainer AL Far
rell reports that the old mare was
never in better shape. She would pre-
fer fast track and has not faced the
barrier for several months, which may
mitigate against her chances. Rey
Hindoo is asked to carry 10 and Early
Tide los. Either of these may surprise.
The, other events have an open look,
and the fact that several of the entries
have not started for months will make
the picking difficult
SCHREIBER'S STAR SICK
The Schneider string, which arrived
from St. Louis Monday, did not stand
the trip well. The car was laid out at
ogden for 25 hours and Dargin. the
star of the string, became sick. Dar-
gin won his last six starts, beating
such good ones as Tony Faust and
Gemmell In the lot are four year
olds that have never started-Jim Caf-
ferata, Ina L, Kid North and Phil Mohr
black flly, Elodia B, finished third
in her one attempt Among the half
dozen yearlings is fine looking flly

Schneider will arrive in a day or two
and will probably take up some of the
horses that summered at his ranch near

Polytechnic and Alameda
Ready for the Game

The eyes of the football fans are now
turned toward the coming champion
ship game between Polytechnic high
and Alameda high school elevens. The
contest is to be held tomorrow after
noon at the Preside athletic grounds,
beginning at 2:3O o'clock.
Although the Polytechnic eleven is a
good one and plays well together, few
of the local followers of the game con-
cede the red and black more than a
chance, especially the field will be
heavy from the rains, and the Ala
medans' extra weight. which is 10
pounds to the man, is expected soon to
tell upon their line The local eleven,
however, has the best ends in the
league and good strong tackles which
the yellow and gold backs may have
trouble in passing.
The red and black team is being
coached by Pete" Smith. one of the
old foxes of the game. He was Ala
media s coach last year.
Alameda's coach is Ralph Marx, late
of the University of Pennsylvania
The yellow and gold team greatly
misses the work of their two star
backs. Brush and Graf. The two
Mackay brothess are filling their shoes.
and while not experienced men, they
are reliable ground gamers.
The local gridiron players have not
brought the honors home with them
for five years, and all of the local fans
won the cup for four years straight
except last year, when they were not in
the league, Alameda winning by de-
fault.

by the American Association of Trot-
ting Horse Breeders, according to an
announcement made at the annual
meeting of the association tonight.
Ia vote by mail, opposition TO the
three in five races was sos to S8.
The proposal made last year for the
esta blishment of a national stake for
the trotting championship of the United
States was renewed today by Frank j.
Fitzpatrick of Santa Rosa, Cal, and by
". Z. Stokes of Kentucky. Fitzpatrick
urged that Pacific coast trotters should
eastern events He would have a series
of three races, representing the east,
central and west and Pacific coast dis
tricts, with a final contest for the
American championship. The contests,
he suggested. should be at Boston, In
dianapolis and San Francisco, with
Lexington, y, for the championship
meet

dent and all other officers were re-
ecelted.

Century Club of Oakland to
Play Winged VS.

The football elevens of the Century
athletic club of Oakland and the
winged VS. of Vallejo will meet tomor-
row morning on the gridiron of the
State league grounds. Fifty-seventh
and Grove streets, Oakland. These two
teams are the best exponents of the
old American game playing among the
athletic clubs and can be counted on to
put up an excellent exhibition. The
game will begin at 1890 o'clock.
The Vallejo boys played great game
with Berkeley high school during Por-
tola week and excited much enthusi-
asm from the exhibition they gave of
the game under the present rules. The
team has played together for num-
Der of years and has become noted for
its excellent teamwork.
The Oakland aggregation played a
6 to score game last year at Vallejo
and will attempt to redeem itself this
year by winning. Among its more
prominent players is William Moir, its
captain, who has played on the eleven
for the last four years. Moir is a good.
heady player and an exceedingly fast
runner, having captured numerous
prizes in footraces.
The officials for the game will be
named by William Reid, president of
the American football association.

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
= SANTA CLARA, Nov. 2S.-After an
hour of light practice this afternoon
Coach Mckenzie of the Santa Clara
Rugby squad assembled his men and
read out the lineup for the st. Mary s.
Santa Clara game.
Barbour, the fast right wing three
quarters player, lost his chance for
playing in the Thanksgiving game yes
terday when he sprained his ankle
badly. Barnard and McCabe will be
intrusted with his position.
The lineup as announced is as fol-
lows:
Ganah front rank; Degnan. front rank; Ho-
gan, lock: Roberts, side rank; Jarrett ScaPtainl
rear rank; Iramutola rear rank; Gallagher
side fiveeighths; Dooling. center threequarters; !;
Smith left wing; Barnard and McGabe right
wing; Detels, FULL Tadich, wing forward
Ford and Goetter win probably get
into the game rs rear rankers beIore
the game is over.
Reams, the star kicker of the Santa
Clara team, and one of the speedies5
performers on it, has been switched
from center three-quarters to OUTSIDE
five ghths. Porterfeld at inside five-
eighths is in a position to become
dangerous man to his opponents. Ho-
gan and Roberts have by consistent
playing earned their positions as side
rankers. Barry at lock will give a
good account of himself. His strength
adds power to the serum. Ganahl and
Degnan in the front rank make up
combination that Mckenzie thinks Will
be hard to beat. Jarrett and Tramu-
tola are two of the teams mainstays.
Gallagher fell heir to the halfback
position Detels has made his place
at fullback. His kicking Is good but
more speed should be displayed by him;
Smith, the left winger, has done good
work all season and much is expected
of him Thursday. Tadfch al wing
forward completes the list. Last
years experience has given him full
knowledge of Rugby.
Spirit ran high tonight when a mon
Ster rally was held on the campus. A
big bonfire was kindled in the center
of the field, around which the students
gathered, shouting their yells and
singing their songs, augmented by the
Santa Clara college band
A mighty cheer greeted the appear

Baseball Spike Problem Is
Yet to Be Solved

NEW YORK, Nov 23.-John H. Heyd-
ler president of the National league is
of the opinion that solution has not
yet been reached in regard to the
spikes worn by baseball players. This
will be one of the most important mat
ters to be considered by the joint COM
mittee on rules at the meeting here
next month.
For a fast game of ball, Heydler de-
clares spikes are necessary. He also
believes the provision prohibiting play
ers from sliding into a base feet first
is impracticable.
Some other solution is necessar ry,'
said President Heydler. IF we do
away with spikes the game will neces-
sarily be slow, and if we make players
slide head first into base, more of
them will be Injured than If they slide
feet first. But the frequency of injuries
through spiking necessitates a solution,
and / believe it will be reached"
