OF DEFEATING | | for the Annual TANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 19.—With the ninth annual inter- collegiate field and track meet but a day dJistant the Cardinal team is in a far from satisfactory condi- tion. The two fastest sprinters among the Cardinal squad are both off color, one on account of a split tendon, the cther con- fined to his bed with the grip. J.°C. McCaughern, who won the intercol- legiate 100-yard Gash last year over Drum and Cadogan is the man with the out-of- gear tendon. Though he will enter the short sprint, it is doubtful whether his unfirm muscle will allow him to finish his race. Lamb is the man with the grip. Early in the week he covered the 220-yard stretch alone in 23 seconds, under a slow finish. Had he been in condition for the meet, his race with Cadogan would cer- tainly have smashed the intercollegiate record. Even with these two men out of the short sprints, Stanford will have a fast trio in Hamilton, Bubb and Stewart, Henley, the star-freshman from Ukiah, is in good condition, but inasmuch as he has becn training for three events, he cannot be expected to equal his record in either one. It is likely that he will not enter the pole vault, saving his strength for the two jumps. Should he be able to duplicate his best records to-morrow, he should take two firsts for the Cardinals. Hamilton, Sprague and Chadbourne should make £ood time in_the mile, but cannot hope to outdistance Service of Cal- ifornia. In the pole vauit Stanford ex- {pects to take ail three places with Dole, | Beach and Foster or Henley, all four of whom can clear ten feet. The Palo Alto boys will be weakest in the two hurdle races and with the weights. Brooke, the best man with the hammer, cannot toss the sphere over 130 feet. Taylor, a freshman, takes the high | burdles well for a novice and may prove a surprise to-morrow. He has plenty of speed, but lacks form. Stanford should | take five firsts at least, ard with a *‘sur- prise” or two may take more. The fact that her men are worthy freshmen ma- terial leaves the element of chance a very large one. BERKELEY, April 19.—Whatever hap- pens at the intercollegiate fleld day to- morrow, California expects to win. The athletes themselves are confident, but they fully realize that their very best ex- ertions must be put forth. California men who have kept a close watch on the Stanford and Berkeley teams place the score some twenty points in Berkeley's favor. This reckoning, al- though considered conservative by local enthusiasts, will not admit of any mis- takes or unlooked for occurrences on the 'PACIFIC COAST BASEBALL It is as follows: CALIFORNIA ATHLETES CONFIDENT STANFORD'S TEAM Track and Field Men of Both Universities Ready|0aklands Intercollegiate Games forward to a close.contest. From what I have heard of the Stanford men and know of our men, we may expect good work from both teams. ~For the results we await the conclusion of the field day.” Track Captain Walsh's general summary of the events is as follows: ' Cadogan should win the 100-yard dash if his leg Is all right. Brown (Caiifornia) and McCaughern (Stanford) will run close for second. (adogan and Lamb of Stanford will run a close race in the 220-yard dash. Squires should win the #0-yard dash with Smith of Stanford and Asbill of California for second place. Service is generally con- ceded both distance runs. Chadhourne (Stanford) and Clifford (California) are probable seconds in the $80-yard run, while Chadbourne will have Woods and Rede- will of Berkeley against him as likely men for seconl honors in the mile run. With California’s bunch of high hurdlers all three places should go to her. Thomas ought to win by a small margin from eith- er Powell, Hamlin or Cheek. In the low hurdles two places should go to Berke- ley: Powell or Cheek ought to win. Cooley and Powell will give Henley of Stanford a close contest for first in the high jump. Henley is expected to win, but the two Blue and Gold men have been doing good work recently. In the broad jump Henley and Hussey (California) will struggle for first. The contest will be close. with Henley the probable winner. Stan- ford will get first and second places in the pole vauli, giving Duden of California a fighting chance for third. Duden may prove a surprise, but points are not reck- oned on from him. Plaw will get both weights. Woolsey stands a good chance of winning second for California in the shot-put. Second in the hammer throw is doubtful. The Berkeley athletes are not worrying over the results of the mile walk. Captain Walsh is picked as a winner. Zschokke of Stanford has a splendid reputation as a walker. .Walsh himself believes he will have to do the pace of his life to win.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, April 13. “I do not think that cunsel has under- stood this case,” said Judge I'ayne in his argument in the water rate trial to-day. “I do not want to cast aspersions on the eminent gentlemen enzaged on the other side, but it seems to me that they have utterly failed to grasp thc significance of the fact that while a supply of seventy gallons per capita is ample for San Fran- cisco they contend thac Oakland must have from 160 to 190 galloas daily per capi- ta. They may contend that Oakland is a city of lawns, but as an offset San Fran- cisco has more stringent sanitary regu- i lations. We have here che uncontradicted testimony of one expert .after anotrer | that seventy-five gallons per capita is an | abundant supply of water for this city. | Why have our opponeits neglected to It is obvious that if Oakland is using 1% or even 150 gallons per capita_per cday there is an enormous waste. Furtnermore, we have expert testimony here tbai this waste, | which the plaintiff claims as a justifica- | tion for its superfluous Hrevisions for sup- | plying water, is easily preventable by | various means.” Judge Hayne made en exhaustive de- fense of the last City Council against the charge of carelessness in fixing rates. He contended that all due precautions had been taken to secure impartial pro- tection to all parties in interest. The case will go on Monddy, when an adjournment will be taken until Thurs- day to allow Attorney McCutchen to at- tend a trial in Bakersiieid. Judge Hayne will be given Monday, Thursday and Friday, and McCutchen wii! have Saturday for argtment in rebuttal. i Oakland Divorce Record. | OAKLAND, April 19.—-Frederick Mand- | Jer will contest the divorce sult of his | wife and has filed an apswer denying her ;chsrdes of intemperance :nd failure to | provide. ;PE\‘a C.

NEW RAILAOAD INTO GOLORADD Denver Will Be Benefited Greatly From a Combination. DENVER, April 18.—The Denver Post to-day says that the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad is to be extended from Weatherford, Okla.. to Amarillo, Tex., where it will connect with the Colorado and Southern Raiiroad. It is added that construction has already begun and that the 200 miles of track required will be laid as fast as possible. The Post says: “President Francis 1. Gowen of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad spent last Tuesday here in conference with President Frank Trumbull of the Colorado and Southern system. The talk of the two prominent railway men re- greatest significance to this State. The railway situation of the West will be revo- lutionized and the railroad map changed.” President Trumbull is quoted as saying: “The new line to Denver will add greatly to its prestige as a railway center. Trade relations will be broadened and extended. New trains will be operated by the Colo- rado and Southern system and the Choc- taw, Oklohoma and Gulf roads to mutual advantage. A smooth and perfect service will be established between Denver and Memphis, Tenn. No time will be lost in construction. Mr. Gowen is a man of de- cision. I think the new line Will benefit this territory more than anything that has happened for some time.” FIRE MAKES A WRECK OF SMELTER BUILDINGS One Hundred Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Property Destroyed in a Montana Plant. BUTTE, Mont., April 19.—Fire at the Heinze smelter to-day caused damage to the plant of $§100,000. The fire started be- tween the boiler room and the matte room, both of which, with the sanfpling room and the engine room, were de- stroyed. ~ The smokestacks, in falling, damiaged the big engines and hurt one man. The ore chute and tramway were damaged. The property is fully insured, As soon as the fire was under control the smelter employes held a meeting and decided to give their services free for one week for rebuildi the plant. It is ex- pected that the smelter will be running in two weeks. . Operations at the H:l‘nu mines will go on without interruption, the ore being stored. But for the good work ol the firemen and employes of the smelter the entire plant, valued at over $1,000,000, would have been destrcyed. sulted in an agreement which is of the’ |ANGELS KNOCK TWO PITCHERS OUT OF THE BOX Play Like Amateurs of the Lowest Grade---Sen- sational Baseball Seen in the Capital City —_— Oakland 4, Los Angeles 12. Angels and Dudes came together ves-- terday afternoon for the second time dur- ing the present series but not in a game of baseball. The spectators tried to fing out what sort of a game the Oaklanders were trying to play, hut were unsuccess- ful. When the nin®innings were complet- ed, somewhere about 5:30 p. m., the little old crank in the stand had to be awak- ened and told that it was all over and that he should go home. Oakland tried two pitchers—Bab- bitt, whose delivery was punctured so badly in the third irmng that Ewing called for a new machine, and Moskiman, who oiled up and lasted the rest of the game. But he also was an easy target for the Los Angeles stickers. The Angels worked a brace of twirlers, Hale and Hartwell of Hanford. Hale was doing well at the tims of lis relief. Hart- well was luckier than Fkis pitching war- ranted. He may develop. Outside of the most fulsome errors by the Dudes the one feature of the gamz was the ejection of Reilly the handsome. He fondly thought ae had put Babbitt out at third and told Umpire Donohue what his thoughts . were« Mr. Umpire said: “Pish, tush.” Then Reillr looked likc a school boy that was promised a_licking and he said something. “‘Five dollars,’ was the umplral reply.

The riders had to stand for considerable | Jjoshing from the paddock crowd, espe- clally Sam Hildreth, who called for an- other bracer just as bugle call sounded. Bétween the later rider and Harry Stover a side wager of a suit of clothes existed, and the pair tried some old-time jockey- ing. Filon d’Or started out to make the pace. but held the lead only a short time. efore the half was reached {eorge Par- sons had Catastrophe in froht and won hands down at the wire.

Taking Free nce ug. he dropped on the inside of Filon d'Or and in a hard drive got the place by a head. Rio Chico stopped to nothing with the lleutenant. None of the starters in the different events were afflicted with any great amount of class, and the attendance was not large. Favorites attached themselves to three of the purses. * An even-money favorite, Valencienne, won the opening sprint in an ordinary gal- lop. Mounce let the mare step out in front at the start, and at the wire she finished four lengths ahead of Saul of Tarsus. Katie Walcott, a 15 to 1 outsider, ran third. The four furlong dash for two-year-olds that had never started kept the crowd guessing. BEd Lanigan’s filly, St. Philip- pine, was installed. favorite, and though she displayed a neat turn of speed was beaten by the second choice, Coal Oil Johnny, with Nash Turner in the saddle. Show honors fell to Jacqueminot. It looked such a close thing between Princess Titania and Rollick that in the betting on the seven furlong run it was 6 to 5 and take your pick around post time. Dominick on the Princess got his mount away first, and leading to the end lasted just long enough to get the verdict by a head. Compass at 5 to 1 ran third. Sub- lime broke down. Wyoming, Parmenion and Merops fin- ished noses on the wire in the order named at the conclusion of the mile and a furlong event. The first named horse, ridden by Charley Thorpe, ruled an even- money chance. and after a serles of mis- haps got_up just in time to recelve the verdict. Einstein came in for some hack- ing and led for six furlongs before blow- ng up. One of the stoutest tips permeating the air was one on Sugden to win the final mile run.

GRASS VALLEY, April 19.—The old Norton residence, which was built in Grass Valley iIn 1853 and is the oldest land- mark of the kind in the town, is being torn down. It is on Church street, near the corner of Neal. The building was con- structed of lumber that cost $200 per thoy- sand and upward. The lumber was sawe at a mill on Mill street, at the present site of Popp's brewery. The labor in building cost $10 a day and was the most crude and inexperienced kind. The men wasted away a whole winter in putting up the house that should not have taken more than three weeks. For many years it was the only frame house in the town. It was ocupied by the Norton family until five years ago, when Mrs. Norton died, and the rest of the family left the couatry. It was the scene of many pioneer social functions. The present owner is J. M. Lakenan, a pioneer foundryman. et HORSECARS WILL GIVE WAY TOUELECTRIC LINE Santa Rosa’s Three Street Railway Systems Acquired by One Company.
