Daniels of the New York Athletic | Club was in great form, and as he wop the 100-yard event in full swimming cos- ume, his time, 58 seconds, is a new world’s record. During this race Daniels made two other records. He reduced the | figures for seventy-five yards from 42 to 41 3-5 seconds, and for eighty yards from 49 to 44 seconds. Daniels won the 220-yard yards from Mar- quand Schwarts of S8t. Louis in 2:38 1-5, which is only two seconds behind the world’s record.

They will_be given every opportunity to make good and it is a foregone con- clusion - that most of them will go the oute. Nearly every team in the league will have a flock of ambitious bushers to play nearly ah the positions on the diamond, so it is up to them to-make 0od The reason for this is the scarcity of talent all over the country. For sev- al past. high art ball players have been as scarce as-policemen in the fog belt. The big league magnates are constantly looking to . grab every promising young man from the minor ¢ years leagues and as a result have left the latter practically stranded this year as far as stars with some experience go. Magnate Andy Clunie doubtless like to ure some first-class performers from the East with which to entertain the local team and inci- dentally bring home the flag. He can- not secure them, so consequently he will have to fill out his team with the youngsters. The only man signed £rom over the Rock- ies at this time is Charley Street of Cincinnati and up to. the present time it is no 1 to 2 bet he will be here when the umpire says the word. Clunie tried his best to pick up a first baseman who would do, but the latter was not to be found, so he had to compremise on young Sears from the bushes. This youngster is green, as every one expected, but he has all the earmarks ' of being there and with proper coaching and some experience he may develop into another Joe Nea- lon. Dick Williams is doing a stunt this season that probably no other pitcher in the business ever attempted. After making his living as a slabster for four seasons, Dick is going to take a chance behipd the bat and incidentally captain the team from that place of vantage. Williams used to play behind the bat at Berkeley and thinks he can do bet- ter there than in the box. He is a good hitter and has a strong whip, so he has a chance to become a good backstop. Young Arrellanes, whom Mike Fisher has signed to take the place of Tommy Sheehan at third, looks like the coming kid this year. In the benefit game at Recreation Park recently this young- Carey of the University of Penn-[ Ster electrified the crowd by his won- derful wing to the first bag. He is surely the greatest in that line we have seen here for many a moon and if he is able to pick 'em up as well as he heaves and incidentally secure his lit- tle hit npow and then Sheehan wil never be missed by the fans. Mogley has not been saying anything about his team so far, but as the south- ern magnate always appears on the field with a crack aggregation at the beginning of each season the fans do not worry about him. Although he got away with the pennant, Morley was lJucky enough to keep his team nearly intact. Why the big leagueés over- looked him is strange, for he has a few men on his payroll that would make good on any one’s ball team. —_— SAYS BOARD HAS POWER TO REVOKE ALL PERMITS Outdogr Art League Urges Supervisors to Appeal From Decision Rela- tive to Blasting. The Outdoor Art League of Califor- nia, by Mrs. Lovell White. president, vesterday petitioned ‘the Board of Su- pervisors to appeal from the decision of Judge Hebbard in the suit of Gray Bros. against the Board of Works, in which it- was held that the Board -of Supervisors lias no power to revoke a permit for blasting and that any ordi- nance revoking such a permit is un- constitutional. The petition assigns six reasons for the theory that the Supervisors have the power to revoke all permits, including this one, and that unless they can reégulate and control blasting the preservation of Telegraph Hill and the protection of. property thereon will be Impossible. ' The com- munication states that an appeal can- not be overestimated. because the de- cision is a direct denial and a restric- tion of the rights of the board as the legislative body of this city and county. RKELEY MEN Some Athletes May Be Dropped From Rolls . of Those Eligible to Compete T AT BERKELEY, Feb. 23—The rains have interfered with baseball practice on the campus, but with clear skies and sun- shifie to harden the ground the squad will now make up for lost time. The great- est interest among the baseball men and those devoted to the-fortusles of the team appears to attach’at this time to Pro- féssor George C. Edwards’ move to in- vestigate the informal charge of profes- slonalism among members of the squad. Some may lose their standing. The charge was made at the last meet- ing of the intercolleglate agreement com- mittee at the Palace Hotel in San Fran- cisco. Professor Edwards, who is chair- man of the faculty committee on athlet- ics, has prepared a blank form of ques- tions which each man on the squad is to recelve and fill out for Professor Ed- wards’ information. The questions relate to the record of the men since May, 195, They do not go back of that date. The following points are covered by the questions: Number of years on varsity; lis® of games played since May, 1905; whether there were any gate recelpts at these games, whether any of the games were played with or against professionals, whether any inquiries were made into the standing of the other play- ers in the games played and permanent home address. The university authorities took the ini- tiative last year in debarring Heitmuller and Bliss, the strongest two players on the varsity baseball team, from playing in the final game with Stanford because the men were said to have departed from the rules governing amateurs. It is sup- posed that similar strictness will be ob- served this year, regardless of what Stan- ford's charges against any of the Califor- nia men may be. Reinhardt, the freshman pitcher, has shown varsity form in the practice games played thus far, and will probably be one of the mainstays in the box when Stan- ford is encountered. He is a husky youth, who showed up well on the freshman football team which defeated Stanford last year. Schafer is catching acceptably, and this pair will perhaps be in the points at the most critical stages of the inter- collegiate series of games. The track men are drilling away on the cinder path under Trainer Walter Chris- tle’s eagle eye. While it is a bit early to speculate about the material that may be developed from the crowd that 1s at work on the fleld and track, Christie appears confident that honors will come to the blue and gold contingent this year. Chan- ning Hall, the jumper, will be a point- getter for Callifornia. His splendid work in the Academic League meets as a mem- ber of the Oakland High School team makes it certain he will be a star on the Californta track team this year. He will be Cne man of the freshmen who s sure to have a high place among those picked to meet the cardinal in April. The athletes have had unusual stimulus administered-to them this term by Professor's Magee's preparations for a series of Greek games in the Greek Theater. The men will be coached for the contests by Professor Ma- gee and his assistants, Professors Pfund and Brohde. The old Greek implements will be used in the games that call for them. Classes,will compete in the pre- liminary contests and their representa- tives will meet in the finals. The dates for the events have not been announced. ——————— PREPARE TO GRANT A STREET-CAR FRANCHISE Supervisors Favor as a Condition Ultl- mate Municipal Ownership of Pro- posed Parkside Electric Line. The members of the Supervisors’ committee on public utilities and streets -gathered in the Mayo to discuss the propriety.of-granting a twenty-five years' franchise to the Parkside Transit Company to operate an electric car line on Sixteenth, ave- nue-and contiguous streets to tap the Parkside District. Owing -to a misun- derstanding the Mayor was not pre: ent at the meeting, and after an in- formal discussion the matter was. de- ferred until a future meeting. . It was practically agreed to grant the franchise under certain conditions, one of which will permit the city to acquire. municipal ownership of the road at any time.it so desires .upon vaying the actual cost of the system. EAGER ATHLETES AT STANFORL Seven of Last Year's Base- .ball Team Are Practic- EY . ing on the Diamond —r o STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. The varsity baseball nine and the large slzed’ squad ‘of ‘aspirants, together with the cinder path followers, attract the at- tention of the athletic members of the cardinal community. Every afternoon, weather conditions permitting, the cam- pus presents a busy and a striking ap- pearance. Upon the baseball diamond Coach Lanagan has his seven veterans and several promising freshmen well trained in the rudiments of the national game. He is still confronted by the de- plorable weakness of the men to acquire batting eyes. To assist in this difficult task he has had two batting cages in- stalled and with the help of his extra twirlers is giving all of the squad a sys- tematic and a thorough course in smiting the “leather.” The only vacant positions are shortstop and one in the field. C. E. Sampson, a freshman from the Stock- ton High School; is generally conceded to have the infleld position ‘“cinched” be- yond a question. The outfield vacancy is caused by the impossibility of W. Wirt '08, who played on the '04 varsity, to get into the game until he recovers from a badly wrenched ankle. If he is able to get at least a week's practice before the intercollegiate series commences he will undoubtedly play in left field, as he is a heavy hitter. Lanagan will depend upon D. D. Sales, '08 captain, and W. Theile '08 to twirl for the cardinal. Sales is a veteran of two years’ standing and Theile was sub pitcher last year. Both have shown a marked improvement in form and should keep the blue and gold sluggers puzzled. “Stump” Stott of football fame is the first choice behind the bat and rarely has an error chalked up against his score. George Presley '07, who held the initial sack last year, will be at his post this year. Harry Bell '08 is showing up well at second. Kenny Fenton plays the posi- tion of third base with the same char- acteristic headidess that made him a shining light upon the gridiron despite his lack of weight. “Bull” Chalmers and Dudley 06 are playing left and center field respectively. “Dad” Moulton has a weighty problem to solve, but undertakes it with his cus- tomary optimistic spirit. Of sprinters he has three who should bring home points to the cardinal. Elmo C. Cope '08, who created a sensation in academic circles prior to entering college by covering the classic “hundred” in 10 flat, but strained a tendon and has been laid up for a season, is again on the track and is out- distancing all others. W. M. Rawles of Ukiah is running well, as is L. M. Ed- wards '07. 7 J. O. Miller '08, who won the mile, quarter and took third in the half last meet, is In good form. In fact “Dad” is satisfled with the outlook and expects the cardinal will carry off another blue and gold scalp. “Dan” Murphy, the crack oarsman, has charge of boating at Stanford and 1s busily engaged in coaching freshmen and varsity oarsmen daily, rain or shine. The varsity four of last season is intact and the amount of husky material in the 1909 class is encouraging. The artificial sheet of water, Lake Lagunita, is used at pres- ent for all purposes, as Murphy is out for form and not endurance. The crews will soon be taken to Redwood City, where the university has a house situated on the slough. The one hitch in the boating proposition is the question of suitable neutral water for the intercollegiate race. As Indications point at present it is likely the match will be held on the waters of Richardson Bay, off Sausalito. ————————— . Missing Ones Return to Homes. Mathew Lermer of 1149% Pacific street, Jack Whitesides, 10 years of age, llving with his parents at 4455 California, and Cariton Upton, 11 years of age, of California street and Sixth avenue, reported missing to the police, have returned to their respective homes. Lermer was out of work and left the city in hopes of finding em- ployment, but without first stating his purpose, and the two boys went on a hunting expedition. —_——— BURGLARS VISIT SALOON.—The were notified y% the mommufi ‘Walsh & McGurk, 31 street, had been entered early yesterday morning | foremg a rear window open.

It is possibly the least im- portant event of the year, but its im- portance this year has been enhanced by changing the scene of the battle- ground.. Although it is for tQe cham- pionship of Alameda County, it is being played on this side of the bay. As played in the past on the courts across the bay the event has not been a com- plete success. Although it is some-~ what of a novelty to be deciding the championship of ome county on thd courts of another county, the changa will undoubtedly prove beneficial. Both singles and doubles were com- menced on the Park courts on Thurs« day. Last year was the first time a doubles event was held for the Alameda championship. The Baker brothers— George and Neil—won the event last year. George Baker is the singles champion and will defend his title. It is not expected he will be successful, as he has gone back, while the players ha won from last year have improved greatly. It s expected either Foley on Janes will win the tournament. 3 The championship match in doubles will go by default, as the Baker broth- ers are not playing together. The FMAILLOT)\ i i ! A 'W\“®d QRIS TOM POLOISTS READY FOR THE SIUTH Burlingame Club® Will Be Represented by an Excep- tionally Strong Team i R For the first time in many years the question of polo supremacy between Northern and Southern California bids fair to be decided. A strong team will represent the Burlingame Country Club at Coronado next week in a champion- ship tournament. The other team will represent Riverside, Los Angeles and Coronado Country Clubs, The Burlingame four will be R. M. Tobin, John Lawson. J. O. Tobin and ‘Walter S. Holart. This Is a representa- tive team and should render a good ac- count of itself. Mr. Tobin dand Mr. Law- son play as steadily as machines. If they ‘were baseball players they could be read- ily gauged by saying “they hit year after year at a .300 clip.” The ponies will, of course, be a strong factor in the game. Those at Burlingame have not been in condition this year for a severe match owing to the rains, which have come at inopportune times. The ponies are turned out in summer and they require a lot of slow work to bring them back to condition. If they were kept up the year round as the majority of ponies are in England they would be fit to play at short notice. The southern ponies are likely to be in the finest trim, but it is doubtful if they have the class of those at Buyrlingame The ponies will leave Burlingame to- morrow at 5 p.m. in two cars attached to the regular passenger train. They will be in Coronado the following evening. With them will be the fleetest racing ponies in all the north. Secretary Rob- ert Leignton of the California Polo and Pony Association will bave charge of the valuable shipment of horseflesh. T SR Passes Fictitious Checks. Roy Garlalne was arrested in the Hall of Justice yesterday morning by Policeman Dave Murphy on a pench warrant from Police Judge Conlan's court jssued over two years ago for his arresf. Garlaine was convicted by Judge Conlan fn October. 1903, on a charge of obtaining money by false pretensés. He had passed a worthless check on the landlady of a Iodgln‘-l houvse on Turk street. He was sen- tenced to serve six months in the County Jafl. He appealed, but judg- ment was afirmed. He failed to appear in court and the benth warrant was igsued for his arrest.

Whit~ ney and Lytton and Adams and Dunlap are the successful teams. A good match will result when they meet. If ‘Whitney and Lytton play as well as they did last Thursday they should beat their opponents. They disposed of two of the strongest teams in the tournament and unless they fall down the honors will about go to them. In the lower half the best teams are Gardner and M. Long and N. Baker and H. Long. They will probably fight id out in the semi-finals. 3 Thirty-two players entered the sin< gles event, and as the best players are well scattered the concluding rounds should be productive of some good matches. Foley and Adams are easily the best in the upper half, and as they are In different quarters the seml-finall round will bring them together. In tha lower half first-class men are more nus merous—H. Long. Gardner, Whitney, Griffin, Busch. Gabriel and Janes argq all in this half. Play will be resumed on Sunday and both events will probably be completed by a week from tomorrow.

Murdock and Smith, who compated iIn the Coronado tournaments, were greatly pleased with the treatment they received from the officials of the Coro- nado Country Club and frém the mana- ger of the hotel. The tournaments were a marked success and will become quite important as yearly fixtures. The northern players were bothered at first by the cement courts, but when they became accustomed to them declared them better than the asphalt cour They are more saving om balls and shoes and are as level as a billiard table. They dry in less than an hour. Murdock played good tennis through- out both tournaments, but Smith was slower in getting started. In the dou- bles the latter was at his best and im- proved with each da: play. Warland and Sinsabaugh were a strong combina- tion in doubles and the northern play- ers had to do their best to win. —_—— Game Law Viclaters Punished. G.
