Coilegians Play Slow Game of Ball
Palo Alto Wins.

Palo Alto Wins.
COilegians turned out in large numbers to
witness the ball game between the Palo
Altos and the Stanford University nine
played at Central Park yesterday after
noon, and college shouts were in order.
There was fair sprinkling of ladies in the
grand stand who had taken advantage of
the fine weather to attend and either ap-

pathies dictated.
The game started in in a very tame man.
ner, the University boys first coming to the
plate. The first inning was short, Brown
ing being put out at first. Immediately fol-
lowed by Heller, who struck out. Galindo
then got first on Newson's error, only TO be
put out at third, when Simpson sent weak
grounder almost into the pitchers hands,
and the inning ended without a run being
made.
The Palo Altos first put HARRISON to the
bat, who made q base hit and then stole
second. Lewis followed and managed to
reach first, all moving up bag when New
son took base on balls. Adams then
struck out, followed by SheehaD, who made
first on Heller'S error. Lewis stole third
and scored before Downing was put out at
first
In the next inning Newson was hit with
the bali by Pierce and Capron was loudly
cheered when he made neat two-bagger.
The game then logged along without any
very brilliant playing on either side. and
ersors and passed balls were in order in the
pitching and struck out three Of the Uni
versity boys. The only long hits during
the game were made by SheehaD, Capron
aud Adams. Following is the score:

he Keeps a Record of the Avoirdupo
of His Lady Friends.

Saturday afternoon is the time when the
dingy quarters of the newspaper division In
the old Postoffice building are filled with
youth and beauty of the female kind.
The most handsome of the many hand
some San Francisco girls assemble in that
uninvitng room and do homage to the man
who presides over that department, A. j.
Vining. To the uninitiated 1t has for
long time been a puzzle what magnet draws
all these pretty girls to the most una.trac-
tive place in all of General Backus' many
Offices.
A CALL reporter accidentally discovered
the secret yesterday. The girls como to get
weighed. Every one Of them wants to know
just how much she has increased or de-
creased In avoirdupois during the week.
Mr.. Winning, who is an expert on female
weights has for long time made it prac-
tice to place the big scales in the newspaper
division at the disposal of his many lady
friends every Saturday afternoon and he
keeps a record from week to week. which is
one of the most interesting documents in
the whole building.

was a scramble to buy. The disappOint-
ment at the failure to realize their hopes is,
therefore, keenly felt.
AS for Mr.. Duncan. who publishes the
London circular. he Is regarded as a chronic
GROWER, and Mr.. Stone says he Is not even
member of the London Stock Exchange.
For several reasons, he adds, the business
has not been as profitable as was originally
anticipated. San Francisco las to meet
competition from the Chicago and St. Louis
breweries, which ship great deal of beer to
cities use corn instead Of barley. In Cali
fornia, where the best barley in the world
is raised, the brewers still use that grain for
their malt.
EXPENSES AND PROFITS.
While it costs in Chicago So SO TO produce
4 barrel OF beer. the cost in San Francisco
is 81, owing to the difference in the price of
material. Another Item is the fact that
salaries had now to be paid to the managers
OF the different breweries, while when they
were operated independently the owners
operated them without salary and there
were no fixed charges for supervision.
In 1889 the combined breweres sold 3D.
292 barrels of beer, on which the net profit
was S651, 56l; in 1890 81 $50 barrels were
sold, the net profits being 5000, 2i5 q. There
were 326, 900 barrels sold I'm 1891. but no fig
ures on profits are given. 1t appears that
the net profits per barrel in 1889, when the
breweres were under their own manage.
meGt. were 81 0S. In 1890. under the Eng
lish MANAGEMENT, the profits were 81 90 per
barrel. Taking the latter figure as the net
profit per barrel under the English manage
ment and the number OF barrels reported
for 1891 makes the net profit in that year
amount to S629,1S0.

Invitations are out for the opening of the
San Francisco and San Mateo Railway, the
pioneer electric railway CT San Francisco.
The cars containing the invited guests will
leave on the initial trip at 10 o'clock next
Tuesday morning, and from the various
tests that have been made during the past
week the officers of the company are con-
fident that everything will run as smoothly
as clockwork. This road runs through a
section of the county that will undoubtedly
improve rapidly now that there is a swift

For considerable time the Old Col
ony railroad has had in use o piston valve
packed with Trips packing. this de-
vice, according to the report. giving no
trouble from leakage. which Is the great
objection to the plain piston valve. The
port does not have to be bridged. the
packing being such that It cannot fall
out or catch on the edges Of the port,
and to give still larger area Of port
opening with the same travel Of valve,
q square piston valve has been devised.
The latter Is sixteen inches wide and
about three inches high, and for certain
width Of opening admits steam past the
upper and side edges az well as the seat
opening, thus more than doubling the
area Of opening for the same travel Of
valve. This applies az well 10 the ex-
haust as the steam edge. giving quick
release as well Us admission Of steam.
Being Of the piston type. the valve ID
balanced. and, TO keep 1t steam tight, Ia
packed on top and at the sides. The
packing Is an inch thick all around. and,
as 1t Is held out by springs. an excess q
pressure In the cylinders will cause the
valve to lift from the seat, acting as
relief into the chest This device, there
fore, Is said to possess all the advantages
Of the simple slide valve. and In addition
practically double ported and balanced.
