Athletes Visit Stanford.
BERKELEY, CAL, March 1s.-Captain
Merwin of the university track athletic
team and Everett Brown, the mile runner,
went to Stanford to-day to attend the field
day sports there. Thev were delegated by
the Athletic Association to witness the
games on the Palo Alto grounds, so as to
become cognizant of Stanfords methods of
training and the time and distances they
are making. The athletes at Berkeley
seem to feel very uncertain as to the out
come of the spring intercollegiate field
day because of weakness in sprinters
and middle-distance men. While it is
generally believed that Berkeley will win
the contest and thereby add another link
to the unbroken chain of track ana field
contests against the wearers of the cardinal,
vet there Is a strong feeling that the day
will not be won by SO wide margin.
Ex-Captain Koch states that Stanford is
training this year as she never trained be-
fore and that if the pace is kept up until the
annual meet between the two teams Berke-
lev will experience more difficulty in run
ming up high score that heretofore.
New Baseball Grand Stand.
BERKELEY, CAL, March 1S.--A new
baseball grand stand is being erected on
the university grounds. The stand will
be a permanent one and will be so ar
ranged as not to be in the way during the
football season. The cost of the stand will
be about 500, which is being raised among
the faculty and students. The Telegraph
avenue street-railroad line has given $50
toward the fund. The stand will be large
enough to accommodate about 1900 people
and will be finished in time for the game
on Charter day, the 23d inst, between the
Varsity nine and the University Club
team.
Too Many Cows.
BERKELEY, CAL, March 1S.-Marshal
Lloyd arrested Jacob Happersberger this
morning and charged him with violation
of the town ordinance which prohibits the
keeping of more than two cows upon lot
of less than two acres. Numerous COM
plants against the keeping of cattle have
been made recently from various sections
of the town, particularly in the neighbor-
hood of the university grounds, but no ar
rests have been made until to-day. Hap
pers berger will be given a hearing before
Judge James in a few days.
Woodmen Entertain.

tertainment was given by the local lodge

Hall last night. "A tug-of-war contest be-
tween team from the visiting lodge and
one from the local order was feature of

draw. For twenty minutes the two teams
pulled, scarcely succeeding in moving one
another so evenly were they matched.
At the end of the twenty minutes both
sides were satisfied to call it tie.
