the east is preparing its trenches and
hand grenades for its annual and san
guinary battle with speculators in
tickets for the world's series, which
marks the close of Its sports year, ex
cept for collegiate football, California
with still a month of Coast League ball
to watch, is looking forward to a busy
winter of polo and other outdoor
competitions.
Several wielders of the ballet, well
known on California turfs, including
Malcolm Stevenson and Ilevereux Mil
burn, have been engaged in the inter
circuit polo matches run off during
September at the Philadelphia Coun

southeastern circuit.
Reports from Honolulu tell of a re
vival of interest there in that branch
of sport, hut no announcement has
.vet been made of plans to invade the
mainland with a team. Pasadena, Bur
lingame. San Mateo and Coronado,
however, undoubtedly will be fully ]
as active as in past seasons.

little opportunity for complaint at in-I
action during the winter. The 11*16-17 i
San Francisco soccer league schedule [
provides weekly games between ten j
teams from October 1 up to March |

able reversal of'the form displayed In

games, the Coast League pennant race
seems due to continue a Los Angeles
and Vernon affair, culminating the
week ending October 29 with Vernon
as the home team entertaining Los
Angeles at Washington Park.

become more and more a major sport,

swing throughout the west today, with
coaches still busily engaged In sift
ing players and smoothing plays for
the bigger games of the near future
Practice games thus far have given
the bleachers no particularly seintilat
ing stars whose names they might
bracket in their veils
The California 'varsity continues to
devote much of its practice time to
starting plays, observers having com
mented much on the peculiar system
evolved. Using, il is said, a starting
signal such as adopted by the Har
vard 'varsity, the Rears have evolved
various fake manoeuvres designed to
give opponents considerable trouble
in timing their attack. In spite of
tlie work of Coaches Smith, Zeigler
and Mahan, the tackling of the Rears’
first squad has come in for criticism.
They have downed their opponents
consistently thus far, however, hav
ing prevented two strong club teams
from scoring on them.

able factor in the American eau.c.

been elected vice president of the
Grand Igloo of Alaska Pioneers; J.
G. Heid of Juneau, was elected presi

daughter.

an outboard motor for power.

San Francisco, left Whitehorse re
cently in a high powered motor boat
to go down the Yukon. They expect
to go as far as Eagle this fail, where
they will winter, and in the spring
will continue their voyage on down
the tiver to St. Michael, where they
will connect with a steamer for San
Francisco.
It is reported that the body of Win,
Blackmer, formerly a machinist for
the White Pass road, has been found
in the Porcupine river. About Aug
ust 1 Blackmer left Juneau to do as
sessment work on some claims ho
owned. He stopped with some of his
friends on the way up the river, and
that was the last seen of him for some
days. A searching party did not find
him at his claims, but a few days ago
another party on their way up the
river found the body near the junction
of the Porcupine and Klehena rivers.
Nobody at Palo Alto seems to be
depressed over the Cardinal com
paratlve isolation in football result
ing from its determination to stick
to Rugby. Five Stanford ‘earns en
gaged in combat last Saturday, (be
varsity downing the Olympic club of
San Francisco, ruggers by a decisive
score. Stanford California relations
are also severel as to swimming, al
though this is announced as a case of

tered at Berkeley from Dinuba, Cal.,
gained plaudits Saturday by the way
