lege Athletes Kept Up Their
Good Name.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 49,
The game between the Reliance nine of
Oakland and the University team, which
took place this afternoon was a good ex-
hibition of skill, and resulted in favor of
the college boys by a score of % to 4.
The students turned out in force to cheer
on their representatives and to rattle the
Oaklanders. The Stanford team was under
the weather, as the clever outtelder, Cal
houn, was unable to play, while Dyer, the
second baseman, and Sheehan, the center
field ''star, were in bad condition. The
Reliance team put up strong, clean ball,
but were rather weak at certain stages of
the game.
Promptly at 2:30 the rival mines COM
menced preliminary practice, in which the
Reliance players showed up well. Not
withstanding the chill in the atmosphere
the large crowd of students remained until
the last ball crossed the plate.
The game was pyrotechnical display
from beginning to end. The college boys
kept the Oaklanders chasing and the two
and three bag hits stunned the Reliance
nine. Three times did the visitors change
their pitcher, and each change seemed for
the worst. The Reliance playing was
loose at times and Walton's catching was
far from its usual perfect sort.
The Stanford team played fine game
Just once did they seem even little bit
unsteady. McLaine pitched a remarkable
game and was caught well by Russell.
Altogether the Stanford students feel high
ly elated over the result The players
were as follows:

MONGOLS AS ATHLETES.
Not the Miserable, Puny Fellows That
One Would Imagine

One of the surprises encountered by the
traveller when he is first cast among Mon
golians is their physical development.
Americans are wont to judge their bodily
structure by the specimens in the laundry
shops of Sam Lee or Wi Ping; and the
loose clothing of the Chinaman conceaIs
his brawny arms and legs when he has
them. Seeing Thibetans in the Himalayas
-stocky chunks of men with an abnormal
muscular development had not brushed
away my idea that the Chinaman was
rather slim, unmuscular Oriental, some
thing like the willowy Hindu; but when
landed in Singapore and first saw numbers
OF coolies stripped to their work, | was
thunderstruck at their massive proportions.
The Chinese are commonly said to be a
diseased race, people permeated with
blood poisons; but one does not see it in
the average specimen, and one does
see at every street corner men with limbs
and torsos like a Sandow, men who
would be marked down for football PLAYERS
in any American college. Not but what
disease is always an accompaniment of so
crowded population; not that it's mani
festations fail to impress you; but the
Chinaman, far from being taper fingered
mortal, is a tough. sturdy, fine fellow, with
thews and sinews like an athlete and
plenty of ambition and courage-Witbin

Chinaman is filthy in mind, body and
estate; the Japanese is equally clean but
in mere physical quality they are very

Yoa,na CRITIC Kissed.

PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-Young
Critic and Billy Mccarthy fought four
round bout tonight at the Southwark
Athletic Club. The fight was very tame
affair, not more than a dozen clean blows
being struck in the four rounds. Critic
was fat as mule and did not appear to
care whether he fought or not. The bout
grew SO tiresome before the end of the
third round that the crowd Kissed the
fighters.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The Defaulter," Lincoln j. Carriers
new production, which will appear in
this city Wednesday, October l6, is the
story OF defaulter. A young bank
manager defrauds the bank and makes
his wife think he is honest. At his
trial the Or oofs Of his guilt are undis-
putable and he is sentenced to the penal
settlement for life in Australia. After
twelve years the convict writes to lis
wife to come and bring with her GER
tain box OF papers which he says con-
tains the proofs of his innocence. In
stead it contains the money he had
plundered from the bank. When the
wife arrives she discovers the true con-
tents OF the box. Her husband prevails
upon her to ask for two convicts as SER
wants. Spe does so and he and his pal
get the job. The little girl, six years
old when he began his sentence. is now
q beautiful young lady Of eighteen. The
convict tries to get his wife to consent
to their daughters marriage with the
debduchee, his companion. She refuses.
he tries to force her and she is obliged
to denounce her husband to the author
tiles and he is sent back to the galleys.
The scenery is especially good, notably
the scenes Of the prison wall with Sgd
ney and the harbor in the distance.
Too mnch cannot be said Of Conroy &
Fox'e Irish character studies. They
have been coming to this city for many
seasons now and their line Of work is
we'll known to theatre-goers, who have
laughed themselves hoarse over their
funny sayings and flashes OF genuine
Irish humor. Their work is always
clean and their characterizations, al
though true to life, have ridiculed their
race. They will be seen for the first
time in this city in their new comedy
entitled "O'Flarityis Vacation which
tells the story of two well-to-do Irishmen
who take couple Of days outing at the
we'll known summer resort, Atlantic
City. The predicanents into which
they fall and the complications that
arise while trying to make themselves
agreeable with the swell people of this
famous watering place are worked into
a very interesting, although ludicrous,
story. The company with which Man.
ager Malley has surrounded his stars is
an exceptionally strong one, and in
cludes such we'll known people as j. w.
