Dar- | thula is the class, but does not appear to call for much. The Missourian hz.! [speed, but is somewhat of a morning glory Pal will win the third if he can go the route. There is apparently choice to the balance. Kogo has run some creditable races and may be able to take Duke of Or- leans’ measure in the fourth. Treasure Seeker and Little Minister ran better at Ascot than they have here. Pontotoc has been showing speed in his recent races and may do in the fifth. Instructor should be the con- tender. Sahara will find the distance to her liking and is dangerous. Ethel Day is capable of better races than she has run here and with good racing luck may beat Sir Brillar in the final race of the day Lisaro has not been out in a long timse and may be short. With a race under his belt after his letup he would be very dangerous. Kokomo had a world of speed his last out, but is up against it here.

A. Smyth Burlingame Country Club pololsts | lived up to their hard-earned reputa- tion of being brilllant players by de- | feating the Santa Barbara four handily vesterday on the private fleld of Charles W. Clark, near San Mateo. The final score was eight goals to one. The attendance was the largest ever | attracted by a game here, both the fashionable set and the people of the countryside being largely represented. The spectators showed a knowledge of the finer points of the game and were | | liberal with their applause throughout. While the artistic polo pavilion was | reserved for Mr. Clark’s special guests, the outsiders selected all the other points of vantage from which they could view the game. They sat along | the side lines like so many railbirds, and beat hasty retreats when the ball | came thelr way and was followed by | eight galloping horsemen, who did not | | seem Inclined to pull a rein in their| | headlong flight. : An_accident to Dr. E. J. Boeseke of | the Santa Barbara team was the only untoward incident in an otherwise per- | fect day’'s sport. Near the end of the fourth period his pony, in trying to | turn quickly, missed its footing and slid some distance on it Mind feet. | The pony finally fell over backward. It was equipped with a Mexican sad- | | dle and the horn of this struck Boeseke | jon the mouth, remdering him uncon- | for several minutes.

FASTEST SOCKER GAME OF PRESENT SEASON. OAKLAND, Feb. 24.—Something in the nature of a sarprise package was handed out to the fans who patronized | the socker game between the Indepen- dents and San Franciscos at Freeman's Park today. The Indies had won the cup regularly and regarded the San Franciscos as easy victims. The Inde- pendents won all right. by a score of two goals to one. but a whole flock of luck contributed to their success. the star player of the San Franciscos, beliéving that his team had no chance against the champions, deserted and signed with the Independents. Besides this misfortune, several other members of the team were not available teday. Not long after the kickoff the Indjes were compelled to sit up and take n»- tice. The rejuvenated San Franciscos outplayed them from the start and after forty minutes of terrific play made the first mark on the tally sheet. This lead was shortlived, for In less than two minutes the Indles had equalized mat- ters. A free kick was awarded against the San Franciscos and Duncanson jarred the sphere right into goal. The final period was as full of action as the first, and for real fast football it was the best of the season. First one side and then the other seemed to be on the verge of scoring. Finally Bal- main of the Independents connected with the sphere and drove it into goal. The players: ndependents—Pegg, Souter, Duncanson. Hig- “Radersor 'ng ham, Balmain, T. Fay, San cinco— eAffes, Kirvin, Routledge, Alfrey, encer, McGran, Otterson, Burns, McGee, W. Spencer and Mayling. Referee—J. Fewster. As a curtain-raiser to the main event the Scotias\and Vampires chased one another arcund the lot for an hour. The score was 2 to 0 in favor of the Vam- pires. hnt Mizén, Jones and E.

Circum- | stances peint to an attempt at suicide, but Pope, who is 73 yea old and almest too feeble to talk coherently, declared he was struck on the head by some one unknown to him and shoved into the water.

He was finally rescued by two sailors, who took him to the hos- pital, but modestly declined to give their names. Other circumstances Pope was tired of life. He left the home of his sister, Mrs. Lena Hink, | with whom he lived, about noon yes- terday, leaving his money and watch, but no nete. It had been suggested by relatives that he go to the poorhouse. His money had dwindled to about $100 and he was discouraged by the prospect. “I don’'t want to die,” he sald last night, “but I have no place to go.” It is believed he repented of his act after { ijumping into the water and shouted for help. oo SR CESR SR FATALLY STRICKEN IN CHURCH PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.—James R.
