There were only four starters, and the Princess, with Johnny Daly up. was a pronounced favorite in _the bet- ting. “Big Bill” Knapp, on Futurita, succeeded in parting company with the others on the far turn, reaching the Knapp not lost a world of ground on the bend the finish would not have been close. But he did, and when nabbed by Daly after passing the paddeck gate his mount lost the decision by a short nose. Arabo finished an ordinary third. THE TRACK IMPROVES. The track had dried out remarkably fast over night. It was, of course, heavy, but little or no mud was flying, and the weather turned off clear and cool. El Piloto and Princess Titania were the only winning favorites. Harbor was there In the opening six-furlong run with a varied assort- ment of speed, and, well played at 7 and 8 to 1, won rather handily from Riesca. The latter mare, backed from 15 down to 6, might have won had Cross made a closer turn into the stretch, when leading the bunch. Travers finished on the inside with Harbor, saving considerable ground. Serenity, the favorite, received a de- lightful going over at the hands of Foley, finishing third. Red Bird led for three furlongs and then died away. Pruewood, piloted by Hxltlebrdnd and at one stage of the betting 25 to 1, captured the next, a six and a half furlong spin, decided under selling conditions. t the fa- vorite, led almost to the stretch, where Pruewood took the lead.

Although Velma Clark never showed to much advantage over a heavy track, Hildebrand had the leg up, which rved sufficient excuse for the books to chalk her up an 8 to 5 choice.

His effort in the saddle was assuredly a briiliant one., “Big Bill” Knapp piloted Dun- gannon, which opened favorite, and he lost ground enough to win a dozen races. Caronal, another heavily backed one, finished strong on the outside, but got nothing.

BURTON MUST | 00 10 TRIAL United States Distriet Court Overrules Demurrer of Kansas Senator in the Fraud Case Lk ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16.—Judge Adams, the United States District Court,Ao- day overruled the demurrer of United States Senatdr Joseph R. Burton of Kan: to the indictment charging him with accepting money for using his in- fluence in preventing the a fraud order,against the Rialto Grain aad Securities Company. The trial of the Senator was set for | March 22. A panel of sixty jurors has been ordered for that date. In reading his decision Judge Adams consumed twenty-five minutes, giving each point raised by the defendant careful analysis. Both Senator Burton | and Major Hugh C. Dennis of the Rialto Grain and Securities Company were in court. The indictment grew | out of the troubles of the Rialto Grain and Securities Company, when that | concern ran afoul of the United States Postoffice Department and further use of the mails was denied it. It is charged that for $500 per month Sen- ator Burton was to use his influence to have the embargo removed. In filing the demurrer to the indict- ment the defendant contended that the postmaster did not have the authority to forbid the Rialto Grain and Securi- ties-Company the use of the malils or to issue a fraud order. Also that there were dismissed by Judge Adams with ) the remark that he was not impressed { with them. The question as to whether the United States was interested in | the case called for a more extended opinion, but Judge Adams held that It was Interested. He then ordered the case to be tried March 22. —_———— ‘Water Polo at Lurline Baths.

FLOATS DOWN RIVER 0N LOG Inknown \[ml Observed in a Perilous Position in a Storm- Swollen Stream of the North A R REDDING, Feb. 16.—According to re- ports from points north, a man shout- ing for help is riding down the storm swollen Sacramento River on a log. He is said to have passed Kennet at dusk, and’ was seen at Central Spur, farther south a short while later. The stranded individual must have passed Redding during the night. This morn- ing, unless dead, he must be far down the valley. The sun was shining this morning after the fiercest rainstcrm experienced in the northern counties in a long while. The Sacramento River was twenty-one feet above normal last night, the high- est point attained in many years. All creeks are running bank full. Mail stages due here last night from Bieber, Lassen County; Weaverville, Trinity County; Delmar, Shasta County, and Harrison Gulch, Shasta County, have not yet arrived. Nothing can be learned about any of them this morn- ing. Railroad traffic is also seriously crippled by the storm. A landslide six miles north of Dunsmuir held trains all day yesterday. It was just cleared last night and trains passed through, when the mountain side again slid down, covering the track twenty feet deep for a hundred yards. So the trains are again tied up to-day. — O —— Richie Knocks Out De Coursey. SAN DIEGO, Feb. 16.—Johnnie Richie of Brookiyn and Billy de Coursey of Los Angeles fought twelve rounds of a scheduled twenty-round contest to-night before the San Diego Athletic Club. - Richie won and proved himself a clever ring general. He went after De Coursey from the start and kept him on the run continually. He landed many heavy blows, but was not able to. knock his man out until the beginning of the thirteenth round. De Coursey showed himself a glutton for punishment and put up a game fight. . He was outclassed by a better man and a veteran fighter. —_————————— Kelly Makes Peculiar Charge. In a suit for $50,000 damages for breach of contract filed yesterday by John Kelly, a milkman, against the Bay Counties Commercial Company he makes a pectliar charge in support of his allegation that he has been hurt by the actions of the defendant. He says the defendant agreed to fur- nish him first-class milk and then gave him such a poor quality that one of his customers, whose little child died. told his other customers that the milk had caused the death of the lit- tle one. Xelly says the rumor ef- fectually ruined his business and caused him great pecuniary loss. —_——— St. Mary’s Will Play Berkeley. OAKLAND, Feb. 16.—The baseball team of the University of California and the first team of St. Mary's Col- lege will cross bats to-morrow after- noon on the university campus.

The alumni batters found Hadley pretty often with their bats and rather discouraged him. Heitmuller held them down to a few scattering hits. He has a ball that he shoots across the plate cannon ball and confuses the batters. tween Hatch and Bl v ¢ men, for catcher. Hatch played in the place last year and acquitted himself well. Bliss is tired of second base and wants to catch, and as he is bigger and stronger and more ag- gressive than Hatch he may win out. first or second base. Graham, a sophomore, is playing first base in good style. He is well ac quainted with the game and knows how to field as well as bat. Second cushion is being played by and Rob- inson, a Berkeley High School boy. Gillis seems to have the best of it%and it all his life. Robinson will be good for the field in case he does not make second base. At shortston Captain Adams is all alone in his glor Nobody is likely to disturb him there, because he knows the position and fields well. His bat- | ting is his most telling weakness, and if he fails to make the team it will be on that account. For third cushion there are Strub and Gunn, heth freshmen, who have been bearing up nobly under the re- sponsibilities and disappointments of that hardest of jobs. This duo plays an even game. The fielding positions are all more or less uncertain. It depends much upon who makes good on infield places. Ken- neth Hamilton.

Judging from the material and the way the men have gone at their practice I don’t see why we can’t get up a winning team. There are five new men to develop and fit in, and that is no easy job.
