that we have lived to see this day 80 years
after we came home from the trials hard-

just like us that gave to our land this
new epoch. We have right to hold our

the instruments Of God in preserving to
those who came after us the heritage we
had received from our fathers. To-day
we face another era and we can rejoice
that we have sons worthy of the effort
we made in their behalf. There is an

CROSS WILL
 NOW RETURN To Again Appear as the Coach on Stanford GridirOn.
Students Glad to Secure the Leader Who Trained Them
 Two Years Ago.
Since Leaving Here the Noted Yale Athlete Has Married, so He Comes
 Back With a Wife.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PALO ALTO, April 21.-Harry P. Cross of Yale will again appear as coach on the Stanford gridiron. The announcement was made tonight by Manager frichard that the well-known center wh1 coached the famous team of '96, which defeated the Berkeley eleven by the then astounding score of 20 to 0, had been secured. He will arrive at PaIo Alto about September 15. when work on the gridiron will be- gin.
 A number of considerations influ- enced the football management in choosing Cross. There is general sat- isfaction among the faculty and stu dents with his work of two years ago. His influence on the team will be good. Besides, he is an athletic enthusiast, who does what he can for college anna teur sport, with which he is still closely identified. While in charge of the 96 team he devoted himself to developing the line, with what result the scores Of the past two years will tell. His conscientious work and the spirit which he infused into the players left it's inn pression on the student body, and makes his recall generally satisfactory
 Cross entered Yale with the class ot '96 His first experience in varsity football was acquired as guard in the second eleven against such players as Hickok and McCrea. He was soon re- moved to center and succeeded Stlllman in that position in 1895, when the Yale varsity eleven defeated Princeton by a score of 20 to 10. Cross while in Yale had the advantage of Camps instruc- tion. He thoroughly understands Yale methods and has been following the game closely since graduation. Besides having won glory as football-player Cross has a claim to athletic renoWn IT other branches. During the entire col Iage course he was a member of the track team in hammer-throwing. Since coaching the '96 team Cross has mar ried. He will bring his wife to the coast with him.

He was one of five starters in the final seven -furlong run, with May W looking the only con tender. It was reported about that the latter was never better, on the strength of which the ring laid 1 to against Cor rigan's crack. Thorpe did not get the Calgary bred mare away from the post any too well. and although she caused Clayton to shake the favorite up the last sixteenth, was beaten out less than a length in 1:271a. Widow Jones showed quite a high flight of speed, landing in the show at odds of 800 to l.
 The programme wore a parched and worried look, and this fact, together with war news, tended to keep the attendance down. Seventeen books cut in and did a fair business. not holding out much. however, as four first choices scored.

 The mile and a half looked like honey in the comb for Grady. The Three Cheers outClassed his company shoes to plates, and despite the fact that Cole, intended by nature for school boy, was to do the steering he was an even money chance in the ring. After cutting out the pace Cole was nearly unfinished by ClawsOn astride Twinkler, just managing to win by a head in 2:36%. The show went to Del PaSO IT.

Meantime the price of Oddson drifted back to II to B. The latter and Watomba cut out the pace for a quarter, when Clawson on the favorite hustled his mount to the front In the run home. Oddson outfooted Daisy winning by less than a length.

PATRIOTISM ON
 THE DIAMOND The Big Attraction at Recreation Park To-
 Morrow.
Teams of the California Leaoue Do Considerable Bracinq
 Up.
Trouble in the Gilt Edge Ranks Not Yet tAdjusted-Hughes Work at
 Baltimore.

The baseball game at Recreation Park tomorrow afternoon between Oakland and Stockton of the California League promises to attract great crowd, ap- healing as it does to the patriotism of the people at this particular time Many of the enlisted men of the First Infantry and the two light batteries of the Third Artillery, that have gone to the front, left families behind who will find themselves in straitened circumstances.
 The league directors have voted to donate the entire receipts to the families of these soldiers, including the bar and other privileges. All the employees, um- pires, gate keepers, ticket sellers, score card vendors, etc., have volunteered their services for the occasion, so that every cent taken in at the gate will be de- voted to the object intended. The field officers of the First Infantry, N G. C., comprising Colonel J. F. Smith, Lieuten- ant-Colonel V. D. Duboce and Major Charles Boxton, c. L. Tilden and H. T.. Slime, have agreed to act as custodians of the fund and to see that it is properly distributed.
 The bleachers will be given over to the school children, who will be granted a special rate of admission of 5 cents. The Board of Education has granted permis- sion to the managers to distribute hand DlllS among the SCHOOLS ana thlS morn ing a small 'dodger," setting forth the objects of the game, will be laid on the desk of every pupil in the city.
 Colonel Robinson has provided some striking features that will arouse the en- thusiasm to the hgSest pitch The mag nificent band of the Third United States Artillery, stationed at Angel Island has given it's services, and a few minutes be- fore the game is called the band will es- cort a platoon from one of the heavy batteries of that regiment to the big flag pole over by the left field fence There a field piece will be in readiness, and, as ! the stars and stripes are run aloft. the artillery men will fire a national salute to the colors, accompanied by patriotic airs.
 A detail from Colonel Smiths regiment will probably assist in the ceremony, which promises to be of thrilling interest in these piping times of war.
 The Sacramento Bee of last evening published statement signed by Manager 1 Hennessy of the Gilt Edge team, to the effect that the differences with his men had been adjusted and that the team 1 would continue intact in the Pacific States League.
