Both teams did fine work, but the fielding of Deveraux of Oakland and Flood of Les Angeles overshadowed the rest of it. Newton pitched in his Dbest form and siruck out seven of the opposing batters. Schmidt, however, w hit by Flood, Ross, Smith and Newton. Oakland scored the first run in the fourth on a triple by Dunle: and an error by Flood. Los Angeles went one better in the last half of the fourth on a double 1 ngle and a base on balls.

The opposition temporarily abandgned its obstructive tactics. The ccmmittee having charge of the bill ae- cepted an amendment of M.

Supervisors Eggers and McClellan voted in favor of the recom- mendation and Boxton voted against it. Boxton claimed that it had been shown that the amateur rules had been vio- lated by the clubs, which resulted ia their suspension from the association. Under the terms of the ordinance an amateur club must be a member of | the association to be granted a permit. Eggers said he had heard this provision was declared illegal by Judge Seaweil. The mafority of the committee there- upen revorted in faver of granting the Bay City Club a permit for April 6. ¥. J. Lynch of the association e plained that the clubs had been ex- peiled from the organization becauss they had held contests outside of their own symnasiums and had paid the amateur boxers money for appearing. Chairman Boxton said he had been formed that the association itself lated the rules the infringement vhich had resulted jn the expulsion of the clubs named. 8ol Levison testified that he had acted for the association in the giving of an amateur exhibition | to raise money to send some boxers to the St. Louis Exposition and that the contestants had been paid all the way from $15 to $60.each. The permit for the exhibition was granted by the Su- pervisors to the association.

A. Kaplan of the newly organized mateur Association stated s organization had formulated rules for amateur contests and that 90 per cent of the boxers had boycotted the sociation because it would not give contestants any more compensation than rules provided.

No boxer v stepped into a ring in better condition than he will be in to-night. CORBETT AT WEIGHT Although he has’ apparently been working hard to make the weight there is a shrewd suspicion that it is not 130 pounds he is having some dif- ficulty in making, but a notch several pounds lower. He is aiming at this weight, as he knows when he makes it he will be fit to go any route. The future ring careers of both boxers hinge on the outcome of the battle. The winner will be hailed as the prospective lightweight champion of the world, as there seems to be no 133-pound man in sight who can lower the colors of either. some of Queensberry rules.

LONDON, March 24.—An extraor- dinary series of mishaps ocurred dur- ing the Stanley steeplechase at Liv- erpool to-day. Ten horses started and they all fell. They began tum- bling at the first fence and continued so until only one, Glenmore, was left. Glenmore fell twice, but was pluckily remounted and finished alone. His rider came in covered with blood and most of the other jockies sustained in~ juries, some requiring stitches. Half the fences were demolished and must be rebuilt for the Grand National to- morrow.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 24.—The class of 1905 began the cele- bration of Junior day this evening with the presentation of the junior farce im Assembly Hall. The play, a musical | comedy, was written by Merle H. Thorpe, '05, and is entitled “The Man From Mizzoury.” The production was a success and reflected considerable credit on the author. Local color and clever songs added spice to the comedy and in fact its merit depended largely on those clements. The play centered around the attempt of Charley Hardrun, the man from Mizzoury, to cut a wide swath in the Stanford social world on an allowance of $25 per month. While endeavoring to do this he incurs a large indebted- ness, his father comes out to visit him | and complications follow. From these difficulties he is finally extricated by James Easystreet, a college chum. ‘While the title role was very well taken by Al Trowbridge ('05) E. R.

The punching bag next occupied his attention, after which he induiged in several rounds of shadow xing. His footwork was excellent.
