SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-Twelve to
nothing was the score when the Berke-
y-Reliance football game ended today
and the collegians were the defeated
ones. Not only did the Oakland club
team earn victory from the visiting
eleven, but more than prevented them
from even coming near to scoring more
than once.
The day, while too warm for the
brightest and snappiest work by the
men, was an ideal one for the lockers on.
Berkeley men are not cast down by
their defeat Instead after the call of
time they were more jubilant than be-
fore it. The game was the trying out
and the stand made against the supe-
rior weight and the strength and eXpe-
rience of the Reliance line convinced
the blue and gold enthusiasts that
Thanksgiving day will bring sure defeat
to the cardinal. The victory of the club
men is not without STAIN The univer-
sity put its team together for hard play
for the first time and hardly expected to
win. Afetr holding down the Reliance
for the first half, playing the entire time
in the territory of their opponents, ex-
cept for an incursion of the maroon and
white early in the contest, the result of
a punt, the team was torn apart for the
second half and three new men started
it, another being added when Griesburg
suffered in a scrimmage. The lack OF
team work was to be expected under
such conditions and could not but result
disastrously, as it did, for then did Re-
lance score twice.
The stars of the day were Ransome,
Hopper, Dalton, oliver, Coster and Ar
lett.

SANTA MONICA
A Case Of Mysterious Death and a
Plain Death

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 3.-The old
saying of a man for breakfast was dou-
bled here with a vengeance today when
the coroner had two cases to attend to,
around the first of which there are many
suspicious circumstances, it being the
body of an unknown man about rs years
of age, who was found dead in a stubble
field close to the junction of the Pasa-
dena and Pacific Electric railroad AMI
the tracks of the Southern Pacific, near
the soldiers home. Who he was, from
whence he came, how he came to his
death, did he simply lay down on the
fertile fields to there ebb out life or was
he killed by some foul means and
brought there, was he turned adrift by
heartless relatives? All are questions
unanswered by the coroner's jury, which
in their verdict Simply said that the un-
known came to his death by causes I'M
known.
He had evidently in life been of slim
build, and had been dead a couple of
wees before he was found. Nothing was
found on him by which he could be
identified. The oSs& possible clew
feet, the case bearing the inscription
of w. Fl. Sanborn, jeweler, Bakersfield.
The remains are al Kregelo & Bresee's,
for identification.
The other was evidently case of su-
icide. About $3.50 F. G. Martindale, who
has resided at Santa Monica since Feb
ruary, an inmate of the Soldiers Home,
who was in hard luck alighted from
the cars of the electric road
at Ocean Park and reeled off
fell on the platform. He was picked up
by those present and DR.. Lindley sum
moned, but he had got beyond help and
died at II o'clock. An empty strychnine
bottle was found on him, and the YER
dict was one of suicide.

No Entrance Fee to the Coming Oakland
Races

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-There will
be no entrance money charged for over
night purse races at the Oakland track
This much was decided at a meeting of the
California Jockey club today and will ma
turally be hailed with satisfaction by
horseowners.
The usual sized purses will be offered
by the club.
The charge of entrance money has work.
ed great hardship on poor horse owners
in the past, and the Jockey club has acted
with Judgment in doing away with the tax.
1t will mean a direct loss to the association
of from $4,000 to $1,000 every week. but the
game promises to be so good this winter
that the association will probably not re-
gret move in the direction of helping
out owners and trainers.

continued to keep the lead of two laps
which he had when time was called last
night Maddox made a plucky but in
effectual attempt to close the gap be-
tween him and the leader, which was
caused yesterday by Maddox punctur-
ing his tire. During today the men
kept we'll together except that Waller
and Maddox made a lap on the bunch,
and Foster, who took things easy dur
ing the latter part Of the evening,
Jagged behind the others. All are keep
ing up fairly well, however, and do not
seem unusually wearied by the eXer-
lions of the past three days. Waller is
having considerable trouble with his
eyes, and his friends fear they may
yet operate to his disadvantage during
the latter days of the riding. They APP
peared to be almost closed tonight as
he shot around the track. He is looked
upon as the probable winner if his eyes
do not fail him. Eddie Bald paced the
men for a short time this afternoon.
George S. Ball. who entered Monday
under a disadvantage and who was
suffering from sever cold, withdrew
today. His sickness on the wheel yes
terday caused him to lose SO much
time, and he saw there was no chance
to catch UP with the bunch.
In the exhibition racing tonight Ed
die Bald lowered his three-quarter mile
indoor record from 1:50 to las, and
Tom Linton his five-mile record from
1906 to 1852. At the close of today's
