of the Water Front
Stranded W. F. Witzemann
May Prove to Be Total Loss
Ths schooner W. F. Wltzeman. which
loft here February 5 for WiUapa, lost
herself in the fog and tan ashore near
Duxbury reef, probably will prove a
Total loss, although she may be saved
if the present tine weather continues
The tup Dauntless, which was sent to
her assistance, returned yesterday
having been unable to move the strand
<-d vessel.
The vritzemann struck lightly, but
sustained considerable damage later
and previous to the arrival of the
} dauntless by the swelL She lies on
the rocks half way between Duxbury
and Bolinas. Her rudder and shoe are
pone and she lies five feet deep in the
sand. Until 11 o'clock ""Wednesday
right the hull was kept clear of water,
but she began to pound, and yester
day morning there was six-feet of wa
ter above the keelson.
The Dauntless reached the scene of
the wreck about 6 o"clock "Wednesday
evening, but on account of the tide
«-ould not get near enough to get a
line on the schooner. By the time the
tide made possible the approach of
the tug the schooner was full of water
nr.d buried deep in the sand, and al
though the Dauntless broke several
hawsers the "Witzemann refused' to
budge.
The life saving crew from Point Bo
r.ita and Fort Point stayed with the

ing the schooner.

'\u25a0>.'\u25a0 "Not .yet, -but soon," is ;the : message'
that Mrs. J; F. Doherty sends from Sac
ramento with reference to her .inten
tion to" capture first place in The Call's
gold prize contest. Yesterday morning
k lookefl- as: though; she; would have a
long arid tedious chase to be on an al
most equal footing with^Miss Meranl ot
Oakland. V But er* ; the day \u25a0 passed she
caught Miss Merani napping and almost
ousted her from the post of honor.
1 1 ; Miss Merani had nearly 20.000 votes
to the good, and thought it safe to rest
a day on her laurels. But Mrs. Doherty,
by, again of 15, 700, her total
up to the good -round sum of 100,000
votes, only 1000 short* of Miss Merani's
.total on "Hhuraday: morning. 1 The Oak
land V lass received a contribution of
1000 during the day and therefore still
holds the leadership by a margin of
2000 votes. : •">. ':'::.; -' ; : :
. It is;nip and tuck, between Oakland
and Sacramento now. and if the capital
city continues to stand as loyally by its
' representative j during the . . next few
days as it has in, ; the . past there may
be a new "queen"' of the contest before
the end of the week. : '
Sacred Heart College is .now about
25,000 votes behind the leaders and will
need the help of all its friends to bring
the first prize again witliin its grasp.
Miss Mollye Sheridan, 'of ' Stockton
registered'a gain of 5000^yesterday and
came \vithin-. an ace -of wresting eighth
place from- Miss Breschini, the Swiss
representative. If Miss Sheridan keeps
up her strenuous work it -will .not be
long before she will be one of the "high
five," as well as "of the "upper ten."
Y. M. C A. IIV THE GAME
Miss Sheridan not only has the can
didates from other towns to contend
with, ;but will now have opposition to
overcome \u25a0 right at " home, . for the Stock
ton r Young Men's ; Christian Association
has % decided 'to ,take"; a, hand In , the
gamer .1 The; association 'is in need :of
funds to equip its gymnasium, and see
ing that Sacred Heart College of San
Francisco procured * $500 , for its library
in the first period of the. contest and is
In a fair way to win several large addi
tional purses before the contest is over,
also observing that Christ Church Ath
letic Club of Sausallto has made a good
start -toward securing a snug; sum of
money to equip its "gymnasium, the of
ficers and \u25a0 members of the Stockton
Young Men's Christian Association have
concluded to "put their energies to the
test/ by hustling up enough subscrip
tions to The Call to put some much
needed cash in the association's treas-
fury. .-Acting Secretary Howard Tomlin
son in making application to enter the
association In, the race says:
i "The association has a membership o(
nearly two ; hundred, \u25a0 and all feel as If
they have a thorn in. their flesh since
we have decided to. enter the contest.
The object of ; going in is to win one
of the prizes, offered' contestants, the
money to go toward refitting our gjan
nasium.'arid the helping out of athletics
generally. We are ready to start right
now." - / :*\u25a0'• - .' ," \u25a0 " .-.••'.
With such a powerful organization to
compete against! Miss Sheridan will
need ( the ' support of her; many friends
and admirers as never before. She has
the advantage of a good start, and the
Y. M. C. . A. boys' will probably, find It
no easy task to overtake her. The Y.
M..C. A. 'does not intend to conduct a
strictly local' campaign, but will ask
Y. M. C. A. workers all over the: State
to help the Stockton association to get
a' share" of, the prize-money.-, - . «
