 TO BATTLE FOR
 COLLEGE
 CHAMPIONSHIPS.

It will take Stanford some time to re- cover from the shock it's baseball men received last week in the initial game of the three which are to decide the cham pionship between the two colleges With ten hits but three runs were scored, and California, with five hits to its credit, tailed seven times. This distinctly and unerringly goes to prove what coaching has lone for the Blue and Gold With paucity of material, Cochran has evolved a team which by its superior knowledge of the game snatched a vic tory when, under the natural laws of chance, defeat should have been it's DOT tion.
 The difference in the two college hines this year is readily patent, even to an unobservant spectator Stanford has a hitting team; California has not Cali fornia has nine of unparalleled fielders The same cannot be said for Stanford Strange to say, California plays as a team and does not fall apart at critical mo- mentS. Stanford needs balance and self composure, two things which, with their hitting abilities, would be death knell to all California'S aspirations on the diamond for this season. One hears on
 e..tt Nd1fornia won on luck last Saturday; but the old-time professionals and some of the later products of the diamond who saw the game rebut this strenuously. Their verdict is that California won on its merits and IS likely to do this after noon in the. second game of the series, unless Stanford plays much better bali than that of a week ago.
 To-day game is the most important of all It means loss of the banner for Stanford should a second defeat mar their standards, and will probably mean majority of games for them should the Cardlnal be triumphant. Beckett is a vastly improved pitcher. He is steady. accurate and sure, SurpaSSing Kaarsberg in speed and curves During the week he was worked hard for a few days, and then rested. Sheehan, Stanford's coach. was prostrated with grief on account of defeat, but that did not prevent him from working his men in field practice until their hands were almost sore. The prac- uce has been better in form and team work, improved upon until the red coats are now the semblance of a team But Tor Cal1fornia's improvement in stick work and a sustention of their spIend. d field operations there is no reason why Stanford should not win the match to- day. That the game --ill be closely fought every indication ass.reS. Devoid of acci- dents, hot struggle s..ould be seen
 With the exception of Bride. first base man for the Blue and Gold the team has been in perfect condition physically. Bride IS suffering from a severe cold, but will play in the game. The teams will line up in the same order as last week. unless changes are decided upon at a very late hour. Following is the order.

ALL-R0UND ATHLETICS
 AT STANFORD COLLEGE

The following communication from the Stanford University concerning the ath- letes and how track and field affairs are progressing is self-explanatory:
 STANFORD UNIVERSITY. April 14.-Since the defeat in the first intercollegiate game. the Stanford Varsity has been practcing as siduously. Two features of play have ceved most attenton-the fielding and the bat ting. In the former the players are showing reliability and seem better fitted to meet the emergencies that arise The work with the stick has also improved The men are lining the balls out and placing their hits to good The feeling in college Is that the team should win the second game of the series. The loss Of another game on costly errors is thing not to be thought of. That the team should have lost the last match because of poor play at critical time is matter of suppressed indignation Those who attribute defeat to hard luck are the more tolerant.
 The makeup of the nine will be the same 1t was last Saturday and Is as follows: Catcher Strohn Pitcher Beckett First base ouAg Third base ....-...........; hlauper Shortstop ....................L .Lougheed lCaptain) Center field Wight Left field Murphy As the time approaches for the intercolle- gate field day, the prospect, never bright for Stanford, grows more and more gloomy. Char lie Dole. whom the college relied for at least two first places, Is In bed with a strained ten don. Everything is being done to bring him around. Great doubt is entertained, however, as to his ability to compete at all. If he re- covers in time to take part, his lack of train ing will place him at a great disadvantage. Jack Brunton also, Is not doing well as was expected. His limbs are stiff from rid ing and lack of training while absent from college Hopes are entertained however. that another week will bring him back to his old form.
 The bicycle event, which will come off in San Jose on Wednesday, is receiving consid- erable attention. Saver. Cross, Rudolph. Mar win and Holm will represent the cardinal in this intercollegiate tryout. Yours etc..

4 Costly Lesson.

Tie largest private building ever
erected in Washingtnn-tlc power house
OF the Capital Traction Railway Com
panv-was destroyed bv fire on Wrdncs-
dav night. with an attendant loss r>tl-
mated at one million of dollars. The
Traction Company itself is credited with
about onc-half Of the loss, the rest bting
divided among its tenants. The opera
ton Of several miles oi cable ears was
stopped, until horses and mules could h
secured to drag the cars through the
streets. 1t will take several months t"
rebuild another power house and tostart
up the cables. In the meantime the
people at the capital will have Il taste
of the "old-timc" method "l street

The great lesson learned by the fire Is
that il does not pay a concern like the
traction company to depend upon one

DEATH AFLOAT AT SEA.

JMBERMEN are debating whether there is
| profit in the towing OF gigantic RATS, which go
l. to pieces in the ocean, They look at the matter
purely from the standpoint OF inanciers. 1t IS time
the public should be considered. No more remorse-
less instrument Of death threatened the passen-
ger on the deep than one of these rats, derellct
swirling in the current, tossed by the waves, and
leaving in its uncertain wake thousand logs, each
one menace to life. Such possibility is horrible
TO contemplate and yet the lumbermen question only
as to whether the raft will pay.
When the Santa Rosa arrived yesterday it brought
story of one of the narrowest escapes recorded
It had been in actual contact with huge piece OF
\ castawav raft So close had the monster come to
it that the paint had been scraped from the boat and
its patent log had been torn away. Had the weather
not been clear the peril could not have been avoided
and but for the sharp eye and quick action OF the
lookout destruction would have been inevitable and
cor,ciete The raft would have cut the hull from the
Santa Rosa and in all probability every soul on board
have persisted mserably The boat carrying 2II
Are there so few tragedies of the that steps must
deliberately be taken to create more?
A few days before the Humboldt picking its
course through flock of piles, the wreckage of part
of the raft For hours in the gravest peril Had
the fog hung low as often it does the craft would
have been helpless and its probable destiny the bot

When next the lumbermen shall figure on setting
raft loose in the Pacific let them take into considera

have more right to set at large a monster raft

NOTHING BUT FACTS WANTED.

T. HERE can be excuse in this campaign, or
in any other, for indulging in misrepresentation.
In the heat OF partisan debate even men who mean
to be fair may permit their preudices to unduy color
their opinions and their expressions Neither side is
apt to be wholly free from this fault But to alsify
and distor is to confess the absence of ground for
argument.
These few remarks provoked by the action Of
the Examiner We cannot view its course with sur
prise, but it thinks necessary to bolster It's
cause with lie We cite only single one of these,
space is not l;mitiess. That paper stated that
Irving NJ Scott, having been approached with A
proposition to become the Republican candidate for
Mayor replied that he would accept that he was
in favor OF Phean. Mr. Scott never said this never
said anything like it, He is not in favor OF Phean
He never said he in favor Of Phelan.
As the days go by occasion may arise for calling at
tenon to similar apses from the way of truth We will
not enjoy the performance of the duty, and yet when
it shall arise, will not shrink
