TRANSPORTATION

RaiIroadmen Are Hosts to Mem
bers of the Sutter Club
of Sacramento

Every member of the Transportation
club of this city and the Sutter club
of Sacramento slept soundly last oven
ing. The Sutter club was the guest
of the Transportation club.
The Sacramento visitors arrived be-
fore noon, and at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, in automobiles, under the
guidance of Colonel John c. Brooks,
in command of the artillery corps at
the Presidio, they inspected nearly all
of the big guns and other harbor de-
fenses. The party had hardly entered
the prohibited grounds In the reserva-
tion before sthey were arrested. The
arresting officers accepted numerous
cigars as bribes to liberty. 4 Luncheon
was served at the Cliff house. At
o'clock the party sat down in the rooms
of the Transportation club in the
Palace hotel to sumPtuous banquet
and afterward witnessed an entertain
ment which opened their eyes.
At the conclusion of the Transports
tion club entertainment the party Wis
tied the Press club and witnessed one
of that clubs famous jinks.
This morning the visitors and their
hosts will take trip on the bay as
the guests of Captain William Leale,
owner of the steamer Caroline. Many
places will be visited including San

NOGULS FAIL TO
ELECT PRESIDENT
Fans WORT Know Who Is the
Leagues New Boss Until
Next January

the directors of the league in the third
The chief executive of the Pacific
Coast baseball league will not be named
till'the second week IN January.
This was the conclusion reached by
the directors of the league In the third
day of their session at the st. Francis
hotel yesterday afternoon. Whether
this is a siam at Judge Graham, who
now holds the office of president, re-
mains to be seen, but at all events the
magnates are satisfied to let matters
rest till they have time for due consid-
Grafton.
1t is said that quite a little difference
exists between the various directors.
Some of them are In favor of returning
Graham to the chair. wlii1erothers want
Henry Berry and still others would
bring some eastern baseball authority
here, pay him a good salary and allow
him to have entire charge of affairs Just
as Ban Johnson has in the American
league
The last idea is that of Cal Ewing.
but at the same time Ewing says posi-
lively that he has not put it up to the
directors. However he adds that if
they insist upon a change he will vote
to bring the eastern man here so that
then there can be no chance for any
prejudice.
so far as 1 am personally concerned
Judge Graham suits me-" says Ewing.
However, If they are going to make a
change 1 Will fight to bring out some
man from the east who dees not know
anybody here and who cares less about
them. He must be absolutely cold
blooded and his decisions must be like
wise The idea of this is to prevent
any Of them from raising a howl on the
prejudice grour d over af-y decision that
the president might be called upon to
make, and one never can tell when this
will happen.
SO far as Graha mis- concerned he
did not seek the office in the first place.
Neither is he seeking it now. He was
selected because he was an outsider a
member of the bar and a man compe-
tent to occupy the important office.
The only time that any fault was found
with his ruling was in the Hetling
matter, and then most of the shouting
was done up in Portland. All the fair
minded fans looked upon Graharn's de-
cision in the Hetling care as the only
one to be rendered under the circum-
stances
Before an adjournment was taken,
the magnates, realizing that the Port
land team had captured the pennant,
officially awarded that emblem to the
northern club and congratulated Judg ge
McCredie, Portlands representative at

STARS LINED Up
IN LAST TOURNEY
Bay Counties Tennis Title Down
for Decision on the Park
Courts Today

The bay counties championship tour
nament, the last of the year, will be
completed on the Golden Gate park
tennis courts today. All three events
the doubles and the senior and Junior
singles-are down to the challenge
round. In the doubles Charles Foley
and Reuben Hunt. holders of the title
will oppose Maurice Mclaughlin and
George James. winners of the tourna-
ment, who will meet in the challenge
match.
In the senior singles Charles Foley.
defender, will meet Maurice McLough-
lin. challenger. AS this is the first
time a junior event has been held for
the bay counties title there will be
no challenge match. The title will go
to the winner of the final match, which
will bring together Ellie Fottrell and
William Johnston.
While it Is expected the doubles title
will pass to Mclaughlin and James, the
latter are not as top heavy favorites
as they were before they met Johnston
and Fottrel1 In the finals last Sunday
and won by a very narrow margin.
Hunt and Fottrell are old timers, and
while they are not as formidable as
they used to be. they know every trick
OF the game and are at all times dan
gerous. If they can as successfully
play away from Mclaughlin as john
ston and FottrelI did last Sunday they
may fool the wise ones and retain the
title.
The senior singles title Is conceded
to Mclaughlin. In his best day Foley
would not have stood a chance against
the game Mclaughlin is playing. Fo-
ley has gone back in recent years.
while Mclaughlin is one of the best
players in the country. Although Fo-
ley hardly figures to win even q set.
he ought to force Mclaughlin enough
to bring out the latters best game.
In the finals of the junior singles
there should be action from start to
finish and if Johnston and Fottrell
both play to their best form the fans
have great treat in store for them.
These two boys are the cleverest de-
veloped by the Junior club since Nc
Loushlin graduated and both look to
have an excellent chance to be close
at his heels before very long.
Johnston won fhe junior champion
ship of the coast in September. but
Fottrell has probably shown the most
Improvement since then. They are
about as evenly matched as any two
players that could be brought together
and as they have a large variety of
strokes and do not play the safe, get
back game, a fast, scientific match is
expected.
Johnston and Fottrell made a won
derful showing against Mclaughlin
and James last Sunday and will have to
be reckoned with in future champion
ship events. Both are still in their
teens and are expected to show a world
of Improvement before the champion
ship season opens next year. Fottrell
is more than six feet tall and as he is
a southpaw he has a decided advantage.
Johnston is much shorter and in ap-
pearance and style of play resembles
George Whitney, many time holder of
the coast title.
All three matches will consist of
three sets out of five. One match will
be played in the forenoon and two in
the afternoon.

26 Points Against the
Tigers
[speeial Dispatch 10 The COLL

SANTA CLARA. Nov 5-Tonight
Santa clara's red and white is waving
triumphantly over Pacific's orange and
black. The Pacific Tigers tails were
twisted in the annual game with Santa
Clara varsity by a score of 26 to 0.
The game was a very fast, hard
fought one, as was to be expected, al
though overanxiety caused many off,
side plays and forward passes. the de-
linquents most frequently being the
college boys. Time after time the Uni
versity of the PUacific was given free
kicks, and each time a boot to touch
by Captain Trevorrow brought tempor-
airy relief. AT no time were the Pacifcs
within striking distance of the Mis-
sionites' goal. while very much larger
score was stopped by the Pacific full
backs good work in dropping on the
ball after splendid dribbling of the
Santa Clara forwards had got 1t over.
Several spectacular passing rushes
We're participated in by the college
backs. The stars of the game were
Best, Fitzgerald and Sims in the back
field and Voight, Patten and Ganahl
in the forwards. A feature of the game
was the place kicking of Barrondo.
Two long lodging runs by Best brought
the bleachers to their feet in wild ex-
citement.
AT the end of the first half the score
stood only SO and Pacifcs' hopes
were high. Their expectations of hold
ing the collegians. however, were soon
shattered, as two trys, one by Best and
the other by Fitzgerald, were made
within eight minutes. Four trys in all
were made during the second half, the
others being made by Gala CHER and
Sims. Patten and Guirierrie made the
trys of the first half.

CHAPTER XVI.
A CONDITION,

ORD RONSDALE seemed almost
to forget caution--almost, but
n not quite. Perhaps he was de-
TERED by the look on John
Steele's face-scornful, hooking, as If

to the winds. This bit of evidence
that he had not calculated upon-it was
hard to give it up, but no other course
remained. Besides, another-Gillett-
knew Of it's existence. Lord Ronsdale
felt he could not depend on that per-
son in an emergency of this kind.
The nobleman moved toward the
desk. The paper fluttered from his
cold fingers. When once more John

had again found Judgment in his waist

in all likelihood making his way out
Of London now. He would In q few
hours reach the sea and after that
disappear from the case.
The carriage suddenly stopped be-
fore an eminently respectable and Sc

Steele, somewhat to his surprise, found
himself in Lord Ronsdales rooms. The
nobleman sat behind high desk. One
drawer Of the desk was slightly open

behalf, would have said to you that
night in the gardens at Strathorn
House we might possibly, both of US,
have been saved some little annoy
ance. We now start at about where
we were before that little contre-
temps"
John Steele silently looked at Lord
Ronsdale. His brain had become
clear, his thoughts lucid. He could
build up story, yes, but If he could
have known what had taken place be-
tween Mr.. Gillett and this man a few
minutes before, when the police agent
had stepped in first and tarried here

John Steele studied the nobleman with
a purpose of his own. "Why, she kill

"How?" The nobleman uttered this
word, then stopped. John Steele wait
