HOOTEO At THE GAMES,
Berkeley Students Incensed at
the Conduct of Their
Rivals.
They Say the Stanford Men Guyed
Them in Most Discourteous
Manner.

BERKELEY, CAL, May 4.-Consider-
able complaint has been made by the
Berkeley players and their friends at what
they claim was discourteous and unsports-
manlike treatment received at the hands
of the Stanford men last Saturday.
They say they were hooted and ieered
throughout the day, and that general dis
courtesy was prevalent, more especially
to the Berkeley nine. Captain Elston
stated that the discourteous treatment
was wholly uncalled for, as the
Berkeley men did nothing which
would justify any such actions. On the
other hand he said the Stanford men were
treated with the utmost respect when on
the Berkeley diamond two weeks ago, and
that when the cardinals came down to the
field the Stanford yell was given from the
grand stand by Berkeley students.
Baseball Excursion.
BERKELEY, CAL, May 4.-Manager
Miller of the University baseball team is
endeavoring to get up an excursion of
student irooters" to accompany the team
and attend the third of the trio OF inter-
collegiate baseball games, to be held at
San Jose next Friday afternoon. The
baseball men are much elated over their
success of last Saturday in defeating STAN
ford by score of Is to 8, and from their
interest it seems probable that the proposed
excursion party will be easily made up.
Should fifty signatures be received half
rate fare or less will be secured.
The result of the game on Friday will
determine the intercollegiate champion
ship for '96, as each team has won one
game thus far this season.

PICKLES, GORE AND Pie.
Joseph Scheerer and Behrend
Joost Have a FracaS in
a Restaurant.
Blood and Flying Sauce Bottles Served
as Dessert at Harrison's, on
Montgomery Street.

Behrend Joost and Joseph Scheerer, both
residents of Sunshine Valley and up to
yesterday at the noon hour the best of
friends, don't speak as they now pass each
other on the street.
The cause of this GOODNESS is that Joost
is carefully nursing a bruised nose and
Scheerer is figuring upon how many twen-
ties he will be called upon to contribute to
the City's excheQuer when he holds levee
with one of the Police Judges.
The little unpleaeahtness which has
made these two neighbors bad friend 8
occurred in a basement coffee resort known
as w. E. Hanson's, at 236 Montgomery
street, at the lunch hour.
Joost, who is an extreme temperance ad-
vocate, stepped down the stairs to re-
fresh himself with cup of coffee just at
noon. A similar desire seized Scheerer at
the same time, and as result both met,
but at different tables. This of itself
would be nothing unusual were it not that
Scheerer is in Joost's de bit to the amount of
S275 for goods, ware and merchandise
sold and delivered" from Joost's store on
Mission street and money loaned.
Since the former disposed of his San
Mateo Railroad he has been anxious to
collect all his outside accounts, and seeing
Scheerer he asked for the amount of his
bill. TO this the reply came that if the
account had not been placed in the hands
of collector he would have paid it, but
now he would not.
Joost denied that the account had been
given to collector. Contrary opinions
were exchanged, when the lie was passed
between them. At this stage of the pro-
ceedings Scheerer's right fist came in
contact with Joosts nose, and Joost
seized pickle jar and threw it at
his antagonists head, but missed his aim.
A clinch followed and roll over on the
floor ensued among tables, chairs, lady
mattresses and patrons of the place. whose
coffee was upset. Sugar-bowls rolled on
the floor and the girls screamed, all of
which made the place lively for the time
being.
Some of the peaceable patrons separated
| the combatants and Joost was taken into
an adjoining room, where the flow of
"claret" was stopped by cold-water appli-
cations.
The utmost secrecy was preserved con-
corning the spirited affair by Hanson and
those working for him. but Mr.. Joost was
less reserved when spoken to about the
matter. He said:
81 was sitting at the table when Scheerer
passed and asked for what he owed me and
for what allowed him to get as preferred
claimant of the sale of the railroad, which
amounted to $75 for goods sold and 500
borrowed money. Some words passed, and
I called him liar. He struck me pow
eIful blow on the nose, and I tried to hit
him with pickle-jar that was on the
table. Who could blame me? Scheerer is
q man who weighs about 250 pounds,
whereas / only weigh 130. He is big
bully. that is all. / have sworn out war
rant for his arrest. and thus the matter

Thomas TAFT has made strange confess
sion. His conscience triumphed over his
inclinations in time to prevent him doing
something that might have sent him to
San Quentin.
TAFT is the man who took out marriage
license to marry an elderly lady named
Foulkes, and who went on a spree with
the money she gave him to purchase q
marriage license. TAFT woke up in hos
pital and has been unable to find his bride.
"There was some reason for my going
on SPREE" said TAFT to-day. "After 1
left the County Clerks Office my con-
science smote me and l did not dare to re-
join Mrs. Foulkes and go to Justice and
be married.

lily at Berwick-on-Tweed,i in the north OF
England, and 1 believe that am mar
ried man. l have never communicated
with my wife since, and Just after took
out the license thought of the result and

and hope she will consent to reconcilia-

thing to do, TO lead a lady to believe that
she would be married within an hour and
then leave her in the Hall of Records and
go off and get drunk and forget all about
her for few days while spent her money,
but she is OF a very forgiving nature and l
