The annual meeting of the Automobile Club of California was held last night at 415 Montgomery street. The following officers were elected to serve during the ensuing year: F A. Hyde, president: E. Courtney Ford, vice president; E. P. Brtnesar. secretary; Byron Jackson, treasurer; board of governors, C. C. Moore. A. M. Hunt. C. A. Hawkins. Dr. L»". A. Stapler and A. K. Brooke-Ridley;.com mittee on election of member*. A. M. Hunt. Dr. D. A. Stapler and E. Stoddard. The decision of a majority in favor of or against a proposed member will be final. A vote of thanks to President F. A. Hyde for his untiring devotion to the interests of the club was unanimously passed. It was decided that the dues shall here after be $6 per half T year, payable In ad vance. The sum of $50 was presented to one of the park policemen, who. while attempting to arrest an automoblllst who was violating a park ordinance, was in jured by the fall of his horse. It is proposed to hold a meet of automo bUists next spring at Del Monte, at which there will be races and other In teresting events. Fifty Dollars Voted to Park Police man Injured While Trying to Arrest Chauffeur. AUTOMOBILE CLUB IN ANNUAL MEETING By virtue of her victory Miss Hall be comes the first champion of the bay coun ties and owner of the first prize, which Is a handsome silver loving-cup. Miss Eva Varney received second prize, a Da vis racket. » In the semi-finals Miss Eva Varney beat her sister. Miss Maud, in rather easy fr.shlon. The score was 6—1, 6—2. The first two sets went to Miss Hall rather handily, but In the third set, when Miss Varney took the net position, the real struggle commenced. Miss Varney was beaten, but not disgraced. She is easily the most promising player in this part -of the State, and will make tho champions hustle to retain their laurels in future. The final match for the bay counties' championship, played on the park courts yesterday, brought out by far the clever est tennis ever played by women in this city.* Although the weather was unset tled and not Ideal tennis weather, it did not interfere with . either the tennis or the attendance. Miss Miriam Hall won three straight sets from Miss Eva Varney. but the match was much closer than the score In dicates. The score was C— 3, 6—3. 9—7. Miss Hall was at her best, and needed to be to b*at her opponent. Miss Varney was greatly handicapped by a lack of expe rience. Her opponent, who has played In many championship tournaments and for several ytars held the coast champion ship, was aided materially by her experi ence. Had Miss Varney realized her strength at the net a little earlier in the game the result may have been very dif ferent. She did not assume the net posi tion until the third set. and then It was too late. In this set she was within a point of winning on several occasions, but Miss Hall saved herself* by some well-placed chop strokes! She played a remarkably steady game and chopped the balls down the side lines with great ac curacy and speed. Her headwork was perfect and she showed absolutely no sign of nervousness. On the other hand. Miss Varney was extremely nervous and hardly made the most of her opportuni ties. CHICAGO. Dec 22.— By Juggling the constitution of the American League the annual meeting of that organization, held here to-day, was made a "special" meet ing, and it was decided to hold the an nual meeting in New York some time dur ing the month of January. , The principal business transacted to-day was the appointment of a commission on peace terms between the two baseball or ganizations. The question was quickly disposed of, however, by the adoption of a resolution giving President Johnson ab solute power to appoint his own commit tee to be the sole representative of the league at the* joint meeting, with full power to act for the American League. President Johnson thought it would be a better plan to have a committee meet the National League at the conference and so decided. The committee appointed is, composed of President Johnson. Charles Comlskey of Chicago and Henry Killilea of Boston and Charles Somers of Cleveland. Johnson. In explaining the reason for naming a fourth committeeman, when the ceneral understanding was that the committee should be composed of but three of the American League magnates, raid that there was no limit to the num ber that could be appointed, and that he had appointed Killilea as the fourth member because of his knowledge of law. No action was taken in regard to the placing of a team in Pittsburg. Will Confer Witlj the Com mittee Selected by the National. The six and a half furlong run appeared to just fit Sterling Towers, and the filly left the maiden class in a hurry at odds of 3% to 1. Donnelly had her in Iront all the way. winning ridden out from Alms Giver. The favorite, Rosarie, ran third. Because his showing in a winning race on Saturday last was not particularly Im pressive 6 to 1 could be nad about Bard Burns in the betting on ¦ the seven fur long selling affair. Donnelly had the mount and succeeded in making another runaway of this, finishing at the wire more than a length ahead of, the favorite. Matt Hogan. The show fell to Goldone. If fit Ethylene looked to have fallen Into a soft spot in the final mile selling num ber. A 6 to 5 chance in tne first betting her price soared to 2, and she turned up an almost easy winner. "Bill" Waldo moved up gradually from fifth position with the mare and with somethins left downed Axminister a'lencth. Ransch, on the luke-warm choice Kath erine Ennls, took the opening sprint. .The field was a light one and after cutting out all the pace the mare was hard pressed at the finish by Hesper, a 15 to' 1 shot, winning by a head only. Gibraltar ran third. Once more Crest, the crack jumper from the Ezell & Lazarus stable, had her colors lowered. She closed in the betting a 7 to 10 favorite for the short course ' steeple chase and although fencing well tired perceptibly toward the close and was easily beaten by Tulare, a. 20 to 1 shot, piloted by Worthlngton. Loyal S led Phil Archibald out for the show. Flood building; Tommy Burns finally landed the Arnold & Co. colt win ner of the fifth event at Irigleslde yester day, a nose in front of Alice Carey. It was the first time a horse from the St. Louis firm's stable had been able to enter the winner's circle in front of the Judges' stand, and the opinion prevailed that Frltzbrillar was a bit too classv to be entered in a cheap selling; race. Backed from 7 to 10 to 1 to 2, It was only Tommy Burns' Indomitable perseverance that got the favorite home a nose before the out sider, for his disinclination to run •¦ early in the game gave his case a hopeless look. The winner's entered selling ' price ; was $400 and when put up to be sold "Sandy" McNaushton, owner of Alice. Carey, said $2300 without even blinking or showing any huskiness of speech. $ There was no response from the . Arnold & Co. folks, so the muchly touted colt changed owner ship. Figuring his portion of the run-up money J1050 and the 550 second money won by "Alice Carey i ' the three"-year-old cost McNaughton $1400. To be a bargain he .will have to get out of the notch he ran in yesterday. Favorites captured three* of the races decided. The track was in good condi tion, but not fast.

Neil also completed his work at Croll's Gardens, Alameda, and is eagerly wait ing for the battle. to commence. He never looked better in his life, and says he is In condition to go fifty rounds If neces sary. Neil In a modest little chap, but etill he is very frank, and says that he will land his man, even though he is heralded as a world beater and has had the advantage of meeting the best men in the country. The betting last night was 10 to 6 In favor of Forbes. There was little or no money taken at this figure, but the bet ting will probably be brisk to-day. The Neil men are holding out for a better figure, and from present indications the odds will drop to 2 to 1 and possibly 10 to 4.. . Eastern Lad Is Ten to Six Favorite, but Few Bets I Have Been Made.

I am a specialist in Rheumatism, and have treated more cases than any other physician. I think. For 16 years I made 20t» with different drugs, testing all known remedies while search- teg the world for something better. Xine years apo I found a costly chemical in Germany which, with my previous dis- coveries, gives me a certain cure. I don't mean that it can turn bony joints into £esh again; but it can cure the disease at any stage, completely and lorever. I have done it fully 10-3.000 times. I know this so well that I will furnish my remedy on trial. Simply write me a postal lor my book on Rheumatism, and I will mail you an order on your drug- gist for eix bottles Dr. Shoop's Rheu- matic Cure. Take it for a month at my risk. If it succeeds, the cost Is onlv S3.50. If it fails. I will pay the druggis't myself— and jour mere word shall de- cide it. I mean thit exactly. If you say the results are not what I claim, I don't ex- pect a Denny from you. I have no samples. Any mere sample that can affect chronic Rheumatism must be drugged to the verge of danger. I ess no such drugs, and it is folly to rake them. You must get the disease out of the blood. My remedy dcfn that even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. It has cured the oldest cases that I ever met. And tn all my experience— in all my 20"*) tests— I never found another remedy that would cure one chronic case in ten. VTrite me and I will send you the order. Try my remedy for a month, as it can't harm you any way. If it fails, it is free. Address Dr. Shoop. box €30. Racine. Wis.
