UNIVERSITY BASEBALLERS
Berkeley Freshmen Defeat the
Sophomores by Score of
IS to 7.
intercollegiate Debate-Suits Against
the Town Threatened-Death
of an Old Pioneer.

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 5.-The fresh
men won the first college baseball game
OF the season to-day from the sophomores
by score of Is to z. This was the first
contest OF any kind, with the exception OF
an unimportant basketball game, which
the sophomores have lost since they en-
tered the university. AS a consequence
they took their defeat hard.
The freshmen went at their work like
veterans on the diamond, and by the end
of the first inning they had secured eight
runs, but their fast work did not last long,
as after this inning their scoring was done
only by degrees. Only seven innings were
played on account OF the lateness of the
hour. Following were the players and
their positions:

VERY SHORT MEMORIES.
Letters From Place-Hunters Who
Want Mayor Davie I'm
peached.
The Mayor Preparing to Show the
Foundation of the Present Attack
on His Administration.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
sos Broadway, Feb. 5.
1t is very evident that the people who
are trying to place rocks in the official
career of Mayor Davie have very short
lived memories. They have forgotten
some very interesting letters that they
wrote just after election, and which have
been carefully preserved in private
drawer in the Mayors desk. While the
so-called impeachment proceedings are in
progress the Mayor is unearthing these
letters, and some of them leave no doubt
as to the motive that prompts the present
movement adverse to his administration.
These letters are considered by the
Mayor as confidential. and he will not
permit the names of the writers to be made
public until such time as it is necessary to
refute the statements that are now being
compiled by his enemies. They go to
prove that politics are the same in the new
and the old parties, and that the ante-elec-
ton ''unse fish desires are rapidly sup
planted by the "honest" desire to serve
the public after the votes are counted.
II have a mass of matter here" said the
Mayor to-day, THAT / am getting into
shape as fast as possible l do not pro-
pose to allow illiterate, ffty-dollar-a-

ulist organs to impugn my motives and
throw mud on my administration without
protest. am not going to be in hurry,
though I intend to let them show their
colors in good style, and then I think
can sail in and turn the tables. These
very fellows must have forgotten that they
have previously put themselves on record
as place-hunters, but have not, and am
about ready to throw sidelight on the
present trouble. / have one bundle OF
letters here, and they are pretty good ar
gument IN TIE case"
One of the letters was as follows:
Dear MAYOR: / think / would make first
class license inspector. If you think the same
/ would like the job. The revenue would be
particularly welcome just now. Loyalty yours.
"Loyally yours repeated the Mayor,
with an expression that did not admit of
two interpretations. Here's another:''
Hon. IT, L. Davie-DEAR SIR: / understand
there are to be some change on the police
force and would like 10 suggest few names
to you. All will mention are good Populists.

speeuully request that you urge upon Con-
gress the great necessity of the immediate
dredging OF deep-water channel from our
wharves 10 the bay OF San Francisco. We are
age depth OF twenty feet at low water can be
obtained from our wharYes to the bay for the
sum OF $3.50, 900. Our city of 10000 inhabi
tants is suffering for the want OF deep water
and on the one article of coal our inha bitauts
are obliged to pay at least so per cent per ton
ing obliged TO partially unload in San Fran
cisco
The material IN the bottom of the channel is
Adrdpan and cannot be removed except by
dredging. This work is recommended in the
United states Engineers last report as being
and you Will also find from the reports that
the deep-water channel which we ask to have
extended westerly to the bay has not filed up
10 any extent during the past year. We do
protest against the interference in our harbor
affairs of outside parties, who are not residents
and We insist that any Apr opriation made for
our harbor shall be expended for deepening
the aforesaid channel to the bay until the
same shall be completed. Respectfully yours,
