The Great Stanbury Is Coming-WiIl
Peterson Race Him?


Peterson Race Him?
Now that the champion oarsman OF the
world, James StaBbury Of Australia, is ex-
pected on the next steamer from the Anti
podes, an impetus to the grand sport of
rowing should follow.
OF the many cities Of America situated
within easy reach of water upon which
aquatic sports can be held, San Francisco Is
most favored.
Here. owing TO mild climate at all sea-
sons of the year, oarsmen can indulge in
their fav0:ite pastime whenever they choose.
For some reason, which Is In explainable
there is less interest attached 10 aquatic
sports than any other pastime.
1t is only when a prominent oarsman
from some foreign cline arrives that stir
among the clubs Is noticeable, and the COM
motion dies away as rapidly when the in
vader departs as 1t grew upon his arrival,
proving beyond a doubt that there is too
much Of tile old and dormant blood IN tie
veins of the local oarsmen.
New blood is needed badly to arouse an
interest in aquatic sport, and it is hoped
that upon StaDbury's arrival the Pacific
Rowing Association, which is only heard of
once year, and that Is on July g. will man
ifest some interest just to prove that
the sport. although smmering, 10 not en-
tireiy defunct.
Henry Peterson will be called upon to
defend the interest Of the coast so far as
single-scull racing is concerned. and al
though the local ma may not be equal to
the task of defeating the champion on equal
terms handicap race between Peterson
and Stanbury would attract widespread
attention. Peterson is probably as speedy
an oarsman as there is In America to-day.

waters he should give a good account of
himself with fair handicap.

this player for most of their success.
The majority of the Thistle team took
their defeat like true sDortsmen. bat there
are number OF sorebeGds among their sup
porters who always believed the Scotehmen
invinc;ble.
The Wanderers have no mortgage on the
championship, and it will only be by constant
practice and good team work that they can
retain 1t.
The junior game between the Golden
Gate RoVerS and the California Juniors
ended in a draw and leaves the Juvenile
championship still undecided.
There was quite q large number OF col
lege men present at the game on Washing

was that for science and pure football the
association game puts the intercollegiate
or Gaelic game in the shade

veteran viii be seen at his best before long.

The Pacific Association Football League
will probably promote An athletic meeting
for Decoration day. May 80, at which there
will be several fYe-a-side football tOurna-
ments and number Of running and hurdle
races
The association footballers have quite a
number OF clever sprinters and hurdle
racers, and an event OF this character would
be certain to bring out good talent.
The tve-a-sde tournaments would prove
novelty In this city and introduce cOnsidera-
bic excitement into the association games.
The Association League Is showing CON-
mendable enterprise and with the elmina-
! ton Of a number of sow-coaeh delegates
from its midst should become the leading
| football organization in the State.
The Thistle team visited Oakland on
Sunday last and defeated the local aSsoeia-
ton team by goals to 1.
The race for the Hilbert trophy will now
be close one between the 1histles and
Wanderers and il is an even bet as to which
team will capture the blue ribbon OF the
association game.
Tie absence Of rough play or ungentle-
manly conduct in the association game is
universally commented on and the follow
! eTs Of other football sports should take the
association f0otballers as a pattern of pro-
! priety.
The Rangers and Granite association
/ teams Will face each other to-day in a CON-
/ petition game for the Hilbert trophy.

The Banner Snap, When the Medi-
terranean Was Frozen.

~. Louis Republic.
The extraordinary cold now being expe.
rienced nearly all over the north temperate
zone has caused a writer to spend consid-
cradle time looking up data concerning the
stalwart winters OF olden times. Here are
the results OF this research: In February,
764. the weather was unusually severe all
over Europe; at Constantnople the 1.-TWO
seas" were entirely frtzsn over for period
Of twenty days. In 1868 the Thames was
solidly frozen for fourteen. weeks. The
winter OF l407-5 was so in tensely cold in
Britain that all small birds persisted. In
Germany there was a similar state of af.
fairs. In Baden the rocks gathered in the
cities, ard actually ate great holes out Of
the backs Of cattle and hogs. 1t is also on
record that in 1863 the army in Flanders
used wine that was regularly cut from the
gudge0ns with hatchets, and distributed in
the share Of ice. In 1864 the cold was so
intense that ice formed seveniy-one inches
thick on tie River Thames in the heart of
London. This beats the prize block now
on exhibition in 81. Paul by at least one
Inch.
In 17o9-1O was the winter known by dis
tinction as 1.-The cold winter" All the
rivers and lakes of Europe froze solid to
the bottom. In Poland and all Of North
Germany the earth was frozen nine feet
deep The Adriatic, the Baltic aud the
Black seas were all frozen over. Even at
Genoa. in sunny Italy," the Mediterranean
was frozen for miles out at sea.
In 17l6 the Straits Of Copenhagen were
frozen over so that people Travelled across
on the Ice In perfect safety. The winter of
1904 was scarcely less severe than that of
l70910. Snow lay ten feet deep I'm Spain
and Portugal for seven weeks. The
Zuyder Zee was frozen ever, and thousands
crossed it on the ice just fer the novelty of
such an experience. In 1744 snow lay
twenty-three feet deep on level through
out Southern Russia. In III the Ebe
froze to the bottom, and ice formed five feet
thick on the Danube below Vienna
In America the record has been almost
equally as startling. In 1880 and again in
1921 New York harbor was frozen over so
soidly that teams were driven in safety
over TO Staten Island on the ice. Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois weather of 1855 was so
severely cold that the Indicating fluid in all
mercurial thermometers CONCEALED solidly
In the bulbs Of the instruments. On the
18th anG oath days Of January. 1881. eighty
one persons were frozen TO death in the
United States. Even as FAR south as Mobile
people who hardly knew what frost meant
saw tie mercury sink TO zero.

It's curious fact that the world hasn't
the slightest use for us when we are sad or
in trouble. Our best is all that 1t cares for,
and our worst it will not have under any
circumstances. Unpleasant a. the fact is,
there seems to be no gansaying it, and the
only thing left us is to accept 1t and make
the best OF it.
We all know people whom we instinctively
shun because their entire conversation is a
recital Of their msfortunes. They are de-
pressing and trying to the nerves, and, after
all. we cannot blame the world so much, for.
as individuals. We are quite As much worried
by them as the community al large. There
are two classes of people who ara cOmforta-
BILE and comforting 10 have about. Those
who are too easy going and indifferent TO
take or hold trouble, and others who have
self-control and philosophy sufficient to
keep their misfOrtunes to themselves.

than any other man of his greatness on the
stage OF craftsmanship. he did this not

seemed to have as many different costumes
as an actor. At one time he appeared here
In an oyercoat Of beaver fur with hat OF
the same material, making himself look for
all the world like great animal. His coat
was big enough for a good-siZed tent, and
his hat was pulled down over his eyes, so
that You only saw his great round face with
It's cock-eye looking out OF the side OF IL. At
another time 1 remember he trotted around
In great white sombrero, with a stick In

with a red roseln his buttonhole. Many people
associate this rose with his love for his wife's
memory. for it Is said that she always pinned
such flower In his bnttonhole before he
