and after playing a squeaky second fiddle

tanced in the next.
The clashing of these two giants in the
green pace, of course, completely over
shadowed the other two events on the
card and all interest was centered in the
result. Before the first heat and when the
betting had become somewhat settled

ers might just as well have remained in
the barn, for they were dIstanced in the
first heat. Just before the horses were
called Wheeler sold even up against The
field.
Both horses looked well and fit, though
the more careful bettorc did not fancy Joe
Wheel-r's bad ankle. Covey, with little
delay, dispatched the quartet to pretty
start. Owen. behind Joe Wheeler, at
once sent the black out at heart-break-
ing clip, reaching the quarter in 313< Sec

away. The half was made by the bIacki
1:01L, five lengths in advance of Ster-
ling's horse. Wheeler struck the three
quarter pole in 1:3411I, still four lengths
before Anaconda. Heating now urged
the latter along, and although the day
light between the pair was extensively
lessened Wheeler won the heat bv a scant
length in 2:07%. On returning to the
stand Farmer" Owen was compelled to
doff his hat in acknowledgment of the
applause, plentitully bestowed on gelding
and driver.
The wise ones figured the heat would do
the lanky Joe Wheeler no great amount
OF good. and in the second betting Ana
conda ruled tavorite over him at odds of
$40 to SIS. Again did Wheeler lead from
the word. and without being extended, led
his rival out By three lengths in 2:081I,

Two California Elevens Pitted
Against a Team Of Giant
Veterans.
BRILLIANT CROWD AT NEW GROUNDS.
General Poor Exhibition Enlivened
by Good Work. of Smith
and Garter.

The football season was formally opened
yesterday afternoon by the Reliance and
University of California teams. The match
was played at the new Recreation Grounds,
corner of Eighth and Harrison streets.
Reliance won. The score:was 10 to 0, all
the points being made during the second
half.
The University put two teams into the
game. What is practically the Berkeley
Varsity opposed Reliance during the first
half, and in the second half an entire new
set of men lined up. against the heavy
cIubmen.
Though no score was made early in the
game, it might have been if Reliance had
in the first half worked with the dash and
sembIance OF team effort that it showed in
several spurts while eagerly moving
toward touchdown, when final moments
were precious. For there was not the rel
alive difference in Berkeley's two teams
that might be thought from the score
As an exhibition the game was not of a
high order or calculated to inspire enthu-
siasm.

ihe backs were a little inclined to
tumble, but that may be overcome with
practice.
Reliance has wonderful material but
1T lacks practice; il lacks condition. If it
had a second eleven 10 practice against
daily as the universities have would i'm
prove 200 per cent. By the end of the
season it will probably carry everything
before it.

SHEEHY QUITS BERKELEY

"Gene" Sheehy has declared that he
will no longer play football at Berkeley.
He has decided objections to the way the
team is handled and he is particularly op-
posed to Captain Haskell.
Sheehy appeared 1t the game yesterday
in citizens clothes and smoking a cigar

tions were that the college men were not
dangerous opponents.
A crowd favorable to the blue and gold
and remarkable for the number of pretty
girls 1t Contained, occupied the main sec
tons of the spacious and elevated new
grand stand.
Down on the field along the side lines
was another crowd com posed almost en-.

players.

shout some tenn mporary advantage gained
by one of their team.
But in the main there was no concerted
enthusiasm, for the most numerous par
tisans had little opportunity for great re-
ioicing.
The field was very soft and had to be
sprinkled while the teams were yaitinp
for the dust TO be laid.
Briefly it was contest between a very
heavy aggregation of veterans, not VET
perfected in team play, and two college
elevens made mp of the various possibili-
ties for the Varsity, lacking weight. de-

perience.
a novel feature preceding the match
was the parade of the players through the
principal business streets. About forty
men in foo ball uniform and seated in
hacks formed a procession that was
headed by banGwagon.

reproduced in the accompany ying chart,

PETE Smith got into the team work
well, but Hobbs did not.
"As for the California team its line was
weak. There was not time during the
whole game that we failed TO gain by
bucking the line.
''They had no license to make q yard
against Us. Except for a few feet they
advanced now and then it was the fault
of our ends that they gained at all.
Haskell, their great quarter, doesn't
amount TO much; he is pretty punk as o

would go through CaiIfornia's men better
than we did.
ITO my mind Stanford, judging from

the better of Berkeley this season."

DEATH In THE WAVES.
Baby Son of Lighthouse-Keeper
Cain Drowned at the
Farallons.
He Was Playing With His Brother
and Fell Down Flight of
Stairs Into the Water.

Cecil c. Cain, the pretty baby boy of
Ligh thouse-keeper Cain of the Farallon
Islands. was drowned in the breakers near
his fathers home yesterday afternoon.
Last night the little baby was brought to

an inquest was waived and the body was

The story of the baby's death is a sad
one. Just after noon Cecil. who is years

wandered down to the boat-landlng, 800
yards away from the lighthouse.
They were playing near the steps lead
ing down to the water when their father,
who was watching the horizon for incom :
ing vessels, noticed them. He turned a
megaphone toward them and called for
them to return. They started to obey,
walking toward their home, hand in hand.
The father turned again to his duty. and
childlike, they again returned 10 the steps

boy stumbled, fell and plunged into the
water. George, though but years of
ago, was not afraid of the water, and

to save his brother.
He could not reach him, however. and
with his childish might ran TO the light
house to tell his father. The father saw
him coming without his brother and ran
TO meet him. The little boy told mis- father
that his brother had fallen into the water.
The lighthouse-keepe searched up and
down the waters edge, but could find no
trace of his son. In the meantime several
men hurried to the fathers assistance,
and the little body was finally found in a
sheltered cove. Death had long since
taken place, and the body was carried to

For three days preceding yesterday S
match, Sheehy and Captain Haskell and
Assistant Coach Archie Pierce had not
been getting along we'll together on the
football field. Sheehy resented Pierc e. $
advice in regard to the manner of play
ing his position.
Some words followed, Haskell severely
reprlmanded Sheehy, and finally tolc him
that he should not be permitted to play
again until he apologized to Archie Pierce.
Sbeehy refused to do this.
Many OF the Berkeley students look
upon Sheehy's action as q hasty move
that he will soon repent. They explain
that Manager Browns early attentions to

was tried.
In the second half, after eight minutes
of play, the Y. NJ. G. A. scored a touch
down by Evans and a goal by Svmmes.
The lighter team had carried the ball
steadily down the field by bucks and by
runs round tackles.
The principal feature of the game was
the good team work and the interference
OF the lightweight team. At one time
quarterback Roddican, on a fake kick,
went through the big freshman center for
twelve yards.
