Umpire— NOT NEAR A SETTLEMENT | Track Meet Feud of Unlversities Re-| mains in Deadlock Stage ; | { ST. ORD UNIVERSITY, Feb, 16.— | Ten days have passed since the crisis in the track dispute and the problem seems to be no nearer a settlement than before. The latest advice from the University of California is that it will consent to another meeting of the in- tercollegiate agreement committee if Stanford will agree to abide by its de- | on after first showing good cause why a second meeting should be held. The authorities here are at sca as to the meaning of this queer proposal. For ten days Stanford has been argu- ing that arbitration of ‘the dispute is - only logical course, and California | with equal fervor returned that| is nothing to arbitrate, since all ght is on its side. Now comes the nd gold with a request for more There are no more argu- They have been exhaust- re the ri blue argum ments here. ed long ago. Again, as pointed out by the Daily Palo Alto last night, the second de- mand of the blue and gold that Stan ford agree to bind herself by the,de- cision of the agreement committee if it meet again is not only contrary to| the spirit of the agreement, but it is il legal, according to the wording of the | document. The agreement between the | two universities provides that any con- clusion which the joint committee may | arrive at is not permanent until rati- fied by the executive committees of the | two colleges. FAENGH CABNET S PYPECTED IR A FEW DAY Church Conflict Causes a Clash Between Two Leading Statesmen PARIS, Feb. 16.—Just as an agree- ment regarding terms upon which the hes France could be leased to tholic clergy was about to be .d between representatives of M. and, Minister of Education, and Car- 2l Richard, archbishop of Paris—an -ement involving a settlement of e most acute phase of the religious confiict—a crisis has loomed up on the on and it is now doubtful whether fer Clemenceau’s cabinet will sur- the coming week. jer Clemenceau left a sickbed to- ¥ attend a Cabinet meeting. He insisted that the Cabinet alone should ssume the responsibility of au- ,rizing the form of contracts. The Premier doubted that a Parliamentary majority would approve these contracts and in any event he Insisted that Par- liament must be given an opportunity to express its opinion before the Gov- ernment should commit itself. The Premier said he was fully aware {of the plots of the followers of M. Combes and other groups, and as an| | old parliamentary fighter he argued| 1 that it was better to secure the consent | of Parltament in advance than to run the risk of being outvoted later. He | declared also that he was ready him- | self to go to the Chamber on Monday |and submit an interpellation of confi- | dence in the Government. | It is understosd that M. Briand took | sharp issue with his chief after the ad- journment of the Cabinet. It 18 de-| clared that he intends to iubmit his views to his colleagues and’that Tues- | |day either he or M. Clemenceau will| | resign. | At a late hour tonight a semi-official |statement showing the seriomsness of the situation was given out, but in spite of this the best judges in parlia- mentary circles consider a Cabinet cri- sis inevitable.

The duck shooting having failed to provide good sport, the gunmen turn to the traps full of enthusiasm. The season will be opened this morn- ing at Ingleisde by the members of the Golden Gate Gun Club. Thp feature event of the card will be the club race at 100 birds, for which a purse of $125 has been offered. After the club race there will be a twenty-five-bird handi- cap for four gold medals, one going to the winner of each class. The handi- caps in this event will be based upon the performance of the men in the 100- bird race. The club officlals have classified the members for the season as follows: Champion class—Otto Feudner, A. Webb, C. C. Nauman, R. C. Reed, Ed- ward Schultz, E. Holling, C. A. Haight, W. J. Goicher, M.

On Friday the Grand Jury commenced an investigation into the construction of the theaters which are filled nightly in violation of every section of the building ordinance ap- plying to playhouses. On Tuesday next the jurors will continue their in- vestigation and will make their recom- mendations immediately, it is expect- ed, ordering every playhouse of the Davis type closed by the police. If the department fails to act the jury will have the opportunity to bring charges against Chief Dinan of misconduct in office and neglect of duty In failing to up the places which flagrantly exist in contempt of the ordinance. This ruling would mean the end of the death-trap maintained by Supervisor Sam Davis, the snare drummer who became a city father, and his brother, “Mo"” Davis. Chief Shaughnessy of the Fire partment and Fire Marshal Charles Towe were unsparing in their con- demnation of the places that are open in violation of the ordinanee. The uptown tenderloin and the Bar- bary Coast are to be investigated anew next Tuesday. Captain Mooney is in frequent consultation with the Grand Jurors on the red light situation in the residence district and he has exerted very influence at his command to en- force the law, but there has been no ald extended him by his superiors, it is claimed by the jurors. That that aid shall be given is the determination of the jurors. The extension of the Barbary Coast, which now houses many hundred infa- mous women, is also to be considered by the jury.

In the first place, our paper supply did not arrive on Thursday morning as usual. It comes by express, but somehow missed the proper train; where the blame lies we do not know. It did not arrive yntil Friday morning. Then a box of linotype that we had set at Grand Island reached us in a pi condition—all mixed up. It require about twenty- four hours to put it in shape again so that it could be put in the paper. Where it was pled we do not know, but it was somewhere between the office at Grand Island, where it was set, and the depot in this city. Our desire is that this paper reach subscribers promptly, and it would always do so under ordinary circumstances, provided the people on whom we depend do not fall down.— Lexingon Clipper-Citizen. b | iRk : double-barreled gun | L.

He is one of the men whom the Nevada promoters want to secure as an attraction, and it would not be surprising if he and Gans were brought together in a return match by some club in which Tex Rickard is inter- ‘ested. . While the lightweights have been oc- cupying the attention of the match- makers for some time, the coming of Bill Squires on the next Australian| steamer will make a change in the sit- uation. There will be a rush to secure Squires on the part of the match- makers, as he will be one of the best drawing cards they have ever had. If the rmpe of the promoters is realized andfthe Hartman bill fails to become a law the matchmakers from this city will undoubtedly get the match. It would draw more here than in any other part of the State, and it is be- lieved that Squires would prefer to make his American debut here. . . * The matchmakers in this city stand well with Jeffries, as Manager Jim Coffroth made more money here for the big fellow than the latter received for his services in any other part of the country, so if he consents to fight this city would probably be the spot he would favor. ~ . It will come as a great surprise to everybody interested if Gus Hartman is able to muster up enough votes to make his pet antifight measure become alaw. Up in Sacramento the honorable Senator has become something of a joke owing to the persistence with which he has worked on his pet meas- ure to the exclusion of everything else. His services to his constituents in more important legislation aid to have been slight, owing t6 the long days and sleepless night he has put in on the boxing measure. After all his ef- forts, to be placed in the joke class jars him. After many disappointments Barney Van Buskirk, manager of the Phoenix Athletic Club of Marysville, has finally clinched the match between Rufe Tur- ner of Stockton and Cyclone Thompson of Chicago, For a time the match was up in e air, as Vallejo promoters were anxious to secure Turner for a match in the naty yard city. The fight will be held on the afternoon of Wash- ington's birthday. Thompson reached Marysville on Wednesday and after compléting certain details regarding the match he went on to Chico, where he will do his training. Turner will condition himself at Marysville. . The experts here look for Thompson to win, as he is considered ome of most likely men in division. He has been offering to box any man in the class and has been particularly anxious to meet Britt. He fights something on the style of Battling Nelson, never giving his op- ponent an opportunity to “set” in order to deliver a blow. Turner has not had the practice recently which has fallen to Thompson and he will undoubtedly ind himself bustled about the ring for a time by his aggressive opponent. Turner will have the advantage in weight, but this will not do him much good, as it is not the muscle which aids in delivering a punishing blow, but the flesh which has come from a comparative lack of training. i | Eddie Smith of Oakland will referee the contast, as 'he has been the official referee of ‘ha.nlub.lcr l.omo time. @ the llghtwel%‘"’“ the aspiring young boxers. Dick San Mateo will be all life and color uring the coming week, when the Southern California polo players will be here in larger numbers than ever| before. The festivities will center about | Charles W. Clark’s country place, al- though some of the polo matches will be played at Burlingame on Francis J. Carolan’s field. The fiesta will be held | under the patronage of Mr. Clark, and | will mark the dedication of an artistic | polo pavilion on his place. This, with | the judges’ and other stands at his| racetrack, has been decorated with the| copper and silver racing colors of the Montana man. = There is already a request for more polo than was originally scheduled | and the present intention is to play | two games each day. They will be| arranged one for the morning and the | other for therafternoon or else the | Burlingame system of playing both in the afternoon will be adopted. The three southern cities to be represented by teams will be Riverside, Santa Bar- | bara and Los Angeles. Burlingame | and San Mateo will each place a team in the field in an effort to keep the | honors of the tournament at home. | After the tournament all the players | will go to Coronado, where Bur-| lingame will be represented by a strong | four. This will be made up from among | the following players: R. N. Tobin, ‘W. S. Hobart, T. A. Driscoll, John Law- son and F. J. Carolan.: There has been such a restricted season this year | owing to the rains that the players | cannot get enough polo at the présent | time. On Thursday the Burlingame | men played a practice game which was | marked by some fast work. During one of the scrimmages Mr. Carolan sus- tained a severely wrenched knee in a collision with another player. It is believed that this will not interfere with his play during the coming week. The original plan of the tournament called for the final game to be played | on Mr. Clark’s field. Owing to some defect in the drainage of the field it | did not dry as quickly as was expected | after the long continued wet spell, and it will not be as fast as it is desirable | it should be for so important a match when the north and south will be lined | up for the valuable trophy. It has been suggested that as Mr. Carolan’s field is in superb condition the important By R. A. Smyth match be played there on the closing day of the tournament. that the semifinals may have to be! played in the morning and that game could be played on the Clark field. It is expected that this matter will be adjusted and referees selected when the southern players arrive and the various teams are made up. The Riv- erside and the Santa Barbara players | are due at San Mateo on Tuesday morn- | ing, while the Los Angeles men and | their ponies will arrive on Wednesday | morning. The first game will be played on Thursday. | Walter S. Hobart will be the presid- | ing judge at the races, which will be held on Saturday. His associates in the stand will be Major J. L. Rathbone and T. H. Dudley of Santa Monica. Mr. Dudley is president of the Southern | California Polo and Pony Racing Asso-| ciation. Dr. J. A. Edmonds of Los An- | geles will act as starter. | Frank Skinner will be missing when | the riders weigh in for the races. This | clever rider, who has won a number of | important races in the colors of Ru: dolph Spreckels, has been ill for somfe | time and will not be-able to ride. It is a bitter disappoiniment to him, as| he has looked forward to this meeting | for some time. It is doubtful if he| wil¥ be able to ride at Coronado. $ Hale Marsh, who rode a number of | winners last year, has just returned | from Yokohama, where he rode Chinese | ponies in a number of races. These | | ponies are smaller than the American | ponies, but they are good weight car riers. They range in height from twelve | to thirteen hands™ ThWy have not the| flight of speed for which the ponies | in this country are noted. i H. G.

Char- ley Dunphy promised to accept some mounts if he returned from Mexico in time. He has no superior as a horse- man, and it is a treat to see him in the saddle. match him with Dick Hyland if the Hartman measure fails to become a law. Both men are anxious to meet, as they have had two encounters, neither of which was decisive.. They disagreed upon the question of weight during their recent negotiations for a match, but it seemed more a mafter of pride than a real difference of oplnion. Each wanted to dictate the weight, and when the deadlosk came neither wbuld give way. -It is expected this difference can be reconciled whenever negotiations are reopened. . . . The gymnasium of the Hayes Valley Athletic Club is the center of much ac- tivity these days. Many of the four- round fighters do their training there and some lively bouts are seen be- Hyland is at the gymnasium every day and is willing to don the gloves with any of the boxers. Mike Levy, secretary of the club, has George Cur- ran under his management and is com- mencing to get worried, as his protege cannot get a match.

The former is to be overhauled at an expense of about $350,000, representing work in all departments, including the retubing of the boiler: ‘The work on the Oregon is much more extensive and is estimated te cost about $800,000, be- ing similar in character to the work which was done on the Indiama and which is about to be done om the Massachusetts.

On regaining consciousness Opdyke stag- gered out to the sidewalk and there fell in a faint. He was found a short time later, lying in a pool of blood, by Robert F. Wilson, a guest at the Palace Hotel. who immediately notified the police and had the wounded man re- moved to the Central Emergency Hos- pital. i The assault took place at the cormer of Geary and Jones streets, a locality which is open to view on all sides for ‘blocks. Opdyke, while waiting for a car, was approached by a trio of rough looking men, who on the pretext of obtaining a match, engaged him in conversation. While their intended victim was searching his pockets for a match one off the men, who had been keeping one hand beliind his back. sud- denly dealt Opdyke a blow on the head with a piece of iron pipe. The thred thugs then carried him to the rear of the Clement Grammar School. Affer taking his money they first warned him to remain in the yard for at least a half hour and then, on second thought. showered him with blows until he had lost consciousness. Opdyke's injuries, while not neces- sarily fatal, are deemed serious. They consist of several deep gashes on the forehead. a scalp wound and a bad con- tusion of the right cheek. Opdyke came to this city from Ireland three weeks @go, and since then had been living at 780 Hayes street. He is a structural ironworker.
