HIS WHEELS OUT OF WHACK
KICKED AT THE WRONG TIME.
A Game Full of Hard Hitting, and
Looked for q While Like
Gift to the COloneIs.

Another big crowd went out to the
league grounds yesterday afternoon to see
the champions get revenge for the trounc-
ing which they have twice received at the
hands of the COlonels, and for six innings
it looked very much as if the crowd was
going to be disappointed, although from
the amount of yelling they did during that
portion of the game il is hardly likely that
anybody would have been heartbroken had
the score at the end of the ninth been the
same as it was three innings before. If
some of the spectators ever regain their
voice they will make promising university
students and can 90 to the intercoll egiate
game of football next THANKSGIVING
One Thomas Parrott had been advertised
to pitch for the Colonels. He was there,
wheels and all. and everything went
smoothly until the sixth inning, when he
slipped cog some way and Beckley M ade
home run. This shook up the machinery
in Mr.. Parrott's head so badly that Nash
lined out twO-bagger moment later and
the wheels went all to smash, and in the
cleanup the club which halls from the
center OF the universe managed to get four
tallies.
The web-footed athlete has a way of
waiting for decision on a ball which he
wants called a strike that is quite irresist-
ible. Mr.. Parrott's style of delivery may
be best described by saying that he ties
his arms and legs into hopeless tangle
and then suddenly cuts the knot, and
while the ball shoots out toward the bat
ter, Mr.. Parrott is shot into the air, where
he poises gracefully until the umpire
makes his decision, when ne gradually
settles to the ground and prepares to re-
peat the operation.
McCarty. the original. was again un-
lucky yesterday, and lost more popularity
in minute than a score Of hits will re.
gain for him. He was at the same time
the victim of circumstances in general,
and OF one circumstance in particular in
the person of Treadway, who guarded
first base for the CoIonels. McCarty had
batted to short and got to first on a wild
throw. which r0lled:tO the grand stand.
But while the crowd was watching the
ball McCarty turned at the base 10 start
for second, when Treadway deliberately
pushed him off on foul ground. The
crowd didn't see this part OF the pro-
gramme. but bestowed their attention on
that part of the field just in time to see
McCarty doing some kicking, and not with
his mt outh. McCariy was given his base
but he was at a discount with the crowd,
who hissed him on every possible occa-
sion.
The Colonels had six scores to the good
before the champions struck gait at all.
Hernon opened up in the first with two
bagger to right, Hunky Hines flew out to
McCarty and Van Haltren and Denny
each made singles, sending Hernon home.
Van went to second on Denny's hit and
got third on a wild throw, but died there.

BASEBALL AT PALO ALTO,

Honolulu.

With the intercollegiate football match
on Thanksgiving day the football sea son
practically ended at the two great uni
versities, and other athletic sports viii
supplant the system of rushes and tackles
which have constituted the main topic of
interest in educational halls.
Already Stanford University has opened
its baseball season. The members of the
first nine were chosen a short time ago and
three subordinate teams formed. Practice
had been carried on in a desultory way
while the footballsts were in training,
but now the baseball players have got
down to actual work.
John +. Sheehan Jr. has been elected
captain of the first nine, which includes
several of the best athletes who played in
the football eleven. A schedule of m atches
is being arranged with all the other edu-
cational institutions in the State for an
intercollegiate trophy. The Stanford team
is considered invulne-able by the Palo
Alto students, who expect great achieve
mentS on the diamond.
Arrangements are now under way to
take The Stanford nine to Honolulu imme-
dlately after commencement next spring
for series of matches. There are four
frst-class clubs in the Hawaiian Islands
with plenty of material for a spirited
baseball tournament.

RUGBY FOOTBALL.
An Enthusiast Eager to Start the
Game in This City.

UdIne III 1 Ills lily.
The Editor-DEAR SIR: l must thank
you for your courtesy in inserting my
letter, in which l asked "Old Rugby"
football players to send me their names to
aid in establishing the Rugby game in
San Francisco.
| would now like to say few words
about the Rugby game, so that many who
have never played football, but are ath.
letic men, and wish for exciting and
healthy exercise-the best for developing
the muscles evenly-may send in their
names as wishing to associate themselves
with the game.
The Rugby game is played by two teams
of fifteen men each. nine of the team be-
ing forward players" and six backs.
The forward players are usually men of
heavy build, com bired with fair speed and
general uulckness. The backs are usually
fast runners and Of various physical types.
What is expected of the forwards" is
very easily learned, and, as it commends
the required play. First let me say tnat
the ''scrummage" or 'pack" feature is
very important, ard only the nine ''for-
wards" on each side participate in it.
Packing together tightly when tho ref
cree orders "scrimmage." they wait until
the hslfback places the ball in the center
of the 'pack." When the bah is down
the forwards" of each side push against
their opponents by sheer weight and
strength of leg only. Touching the ball
with the hand when in these 'scrummages"
is forbidden, as also are jostling with the
elbows. using the arms, fists or hands, un-
necessary kicking, or any other form of
rough and unsatisfactory play. A good
forward" player takes the ball through
the ''scrummage"awith his feet or heels il
out to the halfback, but never kicks it
hard.
When a "scrummage" has broken up,
forward may pick up the ball and run
with it. He may also attack any man who
has the ball. Attacking men who are not
handling the ball and charging or inter-
fering with any player but the one with
the ball are disallowed.
As a consequence of these rules very
few squabbles occur and the game Is al
ways conducive to the finest kind of
rivalry in friendly spirit. All the rules
Of the Rugby" game tend toward this
end aud wilful fouls or injury from
malicious play are OF extremely rare oc-
currence. In short, the game commends
manly game that does not take up too
much time. The usual time for a ''m atch"
is an hour and ten minutes.
Great progress has been made by the
Rugby" game in South Africa, Canada
and other parts of the world, and l hope
to see il started in this city. All who
wish to play or have an interest in the
getting up of Rugby" club will oblige
by sending their names to me.
