THE ALUMNI Debated.
Luck Was With Her at
Central Park in the Ball Game
Yesterday.

The cold wind that blew across Central
Park yesterday made it exceedingly dis
agreeable for the handful of spectators,
who shivered through eight and a half
innings of the uninteresting argument be-
tween Stanford and the alumni.
The margin of two runs, by which the
college boys won, indicates that they had
no snap; in fact, the alumni played
much cleaner fielding game, and but for
hard luck in not getting their hits when
they were needed. they would have won.
Although they were outbatted, the alumni
would have won had they not expert
mented with Wheeler in the box, who in
the first and second was touched up for
seven of Stanfords ten runs. Goslinsky,
who succeeded him, did much better
work Stanfords infield work was es-
pecially ragged, Lougheed, Young and
Harris making two errors apiece. Cal
houn in center for the alumni was also
guilty of poor judgment on fly balls,
while his fielding was loose. Strange to
say, Strohn put up much better game
behind the bat than Elston, who was
away off in his throwing to second
The feature of the game was Hellers
attempt to catch Klauber's long fly to
deep left in the second inning. After
long and brilliant run he just managed to
get his fingers upon the ball. The error
was praseworthy one.

HE MADE HER
NOSE BLEED
Politics Helped to Break
Up the Holmes
Home.
Sometimes the Lady Did Not

Because She Cooked Badly There

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
Q0S broadway March 10

90S Broadway, March II.
A husband who slaps his wife in the
face with sufficient force to cause her
nose to bleed has no claim for a divorce
because of little Irregularities in the con-
duct of his wife. Judge Hall intimated
to-day from the bench that such would
be his decision in the Holmes divorce
case.
James Holmes is a well-known politi-
clan and hardware man, and has been
married twenty years. There are six
children in the family, and, according to
the testimony of the husband, the Holmes
home has been the scene of cat-and-dog
life since their honeymoon in 1878.
On the witness stand, Holmes told of his
domestic unhappiness. He says that for
many years he would have been better
off had he not been married, and charges
his wife with laziness, and hints that at
no period of the twenty years since they
were married has he enjoyed the full
confidence and affection of his wife. On
many occasions Holmes had to leave his
house on account of the cooking, or lack
of cooking, and he poured forth his woes
to-day by the hour.
Mr.. Holmes also testified that he re-
yenged this conduct at times by beating
his wife in the face He admitted sey,
eral blows on the nose, and also said
that he had drawn blood on his wife's
face
Ex-Judge Frick, who appeared for Mrs.
homes, drew out OF the WllneSS Lldily
admissions of behavior that is not sup
posed to exist between husband and wife,
and the idea that the politicians home
was happy one was rudely dispelled-
Mrs. Holmes does not like to be the
wife of a man who gives up much of his
time to politics. She says that Holmes
is a very poor provider and sometimes
stays away from home for such long pc
RODS that occasionally she has forgotten
she ever had a husband.
Judge Hall said the case would go over
r1nX Go doT RI n
dren, and said that he would deny the
husbands application for a divorce.

S0PHOMORES
WIN THE DAY
Interclass Field Day on
Berkeley Cinder
Path.
Drum and Squires Carry Off
the Honors Of the
Day.
The Largest Crowd Ever Seen
on the Berkeley Cam
pus.

The largest attendance that ever gath
cred around the cinder path of the Uni
versity of California was that which
filled the spacious stands and lined the
fences yesterday to see the sophomores
punish the freshmen in the annual inter
class field day. Contrary to all expecta-
lions, it was an easy victory for the So
phomores, who won the day by a score
of lis to IS points.
Sections in the grand stand were re-
served for each class. The red of '01 class
Haunted out boldly and made strong
contrast with the green of 90. There was
not a bit of unoccupied space around the
oval, and at all times the enthusiasm of
the rooters, covered with the green or
red, gave things lively hue.
Drum was the hero of the day. Matched
with Woolsey in the three short distances,
a sprinter heretofore untried but from
whom great things were anticipated, he
caDtured first places in all. AT no time
was he pushed hard. In the 10O-yard
dash he covered the distance in 10 20
seconds. In the 220 he strobe over the
cinders in 20 2-5 seconds. The 44o was run
in Indifferent style.
Suuires. famous as a rider of the wheel,
divided the honors with Drum, This is
the first season of Squires on the track:
him at the beginning of the stretch, he
put on steam, and, forging his way
through the file, breasted the tape first
after a sensational finish. The half-mile
was very similarly run. Smith was well
in the lead when the men began to squirt
for the finish. Then Squires increased his
speed, and with every strlde cut GOWN
the distance that separated them. FIVE

SANTA CLARA VICTORIOUS.
Defeats the U. c. Nine by a Score of
9 to on the Berkeley Campus.

BERKELEY, March 12.-The Santa
Clara baseball team defeated the Univer-
sfty of California nine in a six-inning
game on the Berkeley campus this
afternoon by a score of 9 to s. The
bleachers and campus were crowded by
at least 1900 spectators, and the greatest
interest and enthusiasm was manifested.
Santa Clara had the best of 1t in the
early innings of the game, but in the
sixth inning the Berkeley hitters found
Kelley and scored three runs. Captain
Hoag and the greater part of the specta-
tors believed that If the visitors had not
been compelled to stop before the end of
the nine innings to catch a train the
Berkeley nine would have won.

Spanish treachery; if our gallant tars

chance for their lives, then the Maine
must be avenged. War is sometimes as

RIVER WAR
BEGINS AGAIN
Southern Pacific Wants
to Regain the
Trade.
Oakland Benefited Greatly by
the Opposition Of Last
Year
1t Will Be as Bitter During the Com
ing Season., Say the Inde-
pendents.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
L.

90S Broadway, March II.
The Southern Pacific Company has not
succeeded in making a contract with the
commission dealers of this city to do
their river carrying for the coming fruit
season, but within a few days an agree
ment for five years may be drawn up.
Last year there was a war between the
dealers and the railroad company and
there was a great improvement in the
method of supplying this side of the bay
with fruit and produce from the Sacra-
mento River. For the first time there
was direct line of boats to Oakland
WharveS, and business was done direct
with the producers instead of through
the San Francisco middlemen. This plan
of taking the carrying from the railroad
river boats was not pleasant to the COM
pany, and opposition was tried, but in
vain.
Now the railroad is anxious to regain
the trade and is attempting to enter into
contract for five years with the mer-
chants not to patronfze the rival line that
comes direct to Adams wharf from the
river. There is, however, hitch IN the
terms.
San Francisco freight first and then send
the boats to Oakland This will prevent
the shipments from reaching here until
discharged and this is, of course, TN
tenabIe The merchants who are ne
gotiating with the railroad company also
insist that the rates shall not be higher
than those charged by the Dutch COM
pany.
In the meantime the firm that started
the opposition last year, Hunt Hatch &
Co., have arranged for three boats to
come direct to them, and have enlarged
their warehouses in anticipation of a big
business this season.
The opposition last year proved of great
benefit Prior to that time all Oakland
business had TO be handled through San
Francisco, and the cargoes of fruit We're
handled many times before reaching Oak
land wharves. 1t resulted in fruit being
cheaper and fresher than ever before, and
there is no desire on the part of the pub
lie to see a return to the old order of
things

OakIand's w. G. T. u. Explains
Statement Recently
Published.
An Incident in the Reforrner's Life
That Aroused Her Numerous
Friends.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

sVo broadway, March u.
Much surprise and some incredulity
were expressed in this city shortly after
the death of Miss Frances E. Willard at
a published statement that Miss Willard
had at one time in her life not only
countenanced theaters on Sunday. but
had also been a partaker of wine at
dinner. This statement was denied by
some of the temperance ladies in this
city, and they searched into the biog-
raphy of Miss Wizards early life to dis
prove the story.
The statement that started the discus
sion was the following:
The late Frances E. Willard was an
ardent supporter of the cause of tenn
perance, but there was a time when
she recognized the fact that the Gus
toms Of some countries were not quite
consistent with extreme doctrine on
abroad, she is on record as having
said that she did three things which
she never did at home. On the Con-
tinent she went to see the sights on
Sunday, went to the theater and took
wine at dinner. She learned to love
Rudesheimer and Grand Chartreuse,
and, in short, she did in Rome as the
Romans do.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the local w. c. t. Union. and an
investigation was made. A search was
made, and it resulted in establishing the
truth of the statement. One of the men,
bers was authorized to prepare an eX-
PLANTATION of the incident. and the follow
ing has been made public:
Miss Willard frankly admitted that
she did, while abroad, attend the theater
a few times, see the sights a few times.
on Sunday and took wine at dinner. But
when and how did these things occur?
There were some important sights to be
seen on Sunday only. Then she was very
sick in Copenhagen and the doctor said,
If you ever expect to see your home
again you must avoid drinking water as
you go from one country TO another.
So she mixed wine with water at
dinner. She learned better and when
abroad other times did not do so, but
said Drink milk if you cannot drink the
water.
Then this was from 1868 to 1879 before
she became dean of the Northwestern
peranCe or evangelistic work and nine
president. Our beloved Miss Willard sim
earlier years and surely the grand work
since dope and the stand she had SO
nObty taHen for. righteousness, truth and
temperance, the cause for which she gave
her life, should make one follow her gen
tie, loving example in trying to find and
remembering the good instead of the
faults.
