The crimson and the blue and gold will meet at Recreation Park again this after noon in the second game of the series for the intercollegiate baseball cham pionship. Stanford has taken it's defeat of last Saturday greatly to heart, and the team is determined to reverse the result to-day at all hazards, and with that determination constantly in mind the members have devoted every moment to practice during the week that could be spared from their studies. Coach Jack Sheehan has been with them con- stantly. and their work during the past few days has shown decided improvement The same men will go in to-day that played last Saturday, as Sheehan Is con- fident they are ali good enough to hold their own with Berkeley if they are in condition.
 California. too, has been far from idle. the men fully realizing that because they won the first game they had no "cinch" on the other two. Their work during the week has been steady and conscientious. and they handle themselves now like pro- fessional ball players. Particular atten- tion has been paid to batting by both teams, and to-days game is counted on being slugging contest. Both universi- ties will send large delegations. so the meeting will not lack for enthusiasm.
