II Stanfords representatives put up as
good ball later in the season as they did
yesterday in their game with the Fire
mans Fund team, Berkeley will have to
extend itself to land the pennant in the
coming annual tournament. The Cardi-
nails played nine innings without an err
ror, and defeated the local nine by clever
fielding, good base running and hard bat
ting. Added to this, the twirling Of Lana
gan was a marked feature. Although he
was touched up for ten hits, flanagan
pitched a steady and heady game, fan
ming five of the Fireman's Funds best
men and only allowing one man to walk
to first. The Palo Alto boys have shown
great Improvement in their work. Their
batting was extremely hard hits well
placed and fielding unusually good
Despite the fact that four errors are
charged against them, the insurance men
played good ball. Through excellent
fielding Stanford was unable TO score until
the fifth, and then but a solitary tally
In the next inning, however, the collie
gians cut their opponents lead down, and
with victory in their grasp the Cardinal
aggregation tried to lengthen, but barely
managed to add another run in the eighth
inning.
Schmeer at short and McGin at second
were the bright particular stars for the
insurance men. The game was played in
unusually fast time and was greatly en-
joyed by the few hundred spectators who
witnessed it.

EXCITING FINALE TO THE
RACING STAKE.
WANTED SARDINE TO WIN
Formero With Piggott Up Captured
the Lissak Money-Martin's
Stern Orders on Wheel of
Fortune.

The popularity OF Ed Corrigan, the iron
chancellor" Of Ingleside, was attested at
Oakland yesterday. when four thousand
race-goers hooted his crack two-year-old
Golden Rule as he returned to the stand,
winner of the Racing stakes. It was no
doubt the tactics employed that caused
the displeasure of the crowd.
There were but three starters, the Cor
rigan duo, Sardine and Golden Rule, and
Marcus Dalys filly Ella Boland. The
Corrigan pair, coupled, were prohibitive
favorites. 1t was undoubtedly the wish
of the stable to win with Sardine, thus
sparing her stable mate from a penalty
At the start "Skeets" Martin, on Golden
Rule, broke away first, closely followed
by Ella Boland. Thorpe, on Sardine, hus-
tied his mount along, and before a hun
dred yards had been covered cut IN, caus-
ing Piggott to pull Ella Boland up. The
trio hit the stretch nicely aligned, with
Golden Rule romping and Martin looking
behind for Thorpe. But the Daily entry
seemed to be outfooting Sardine, and
Thorpe again carried Piggott In toward
the rail behind the leader. It was a neat
piece of jockeyship, but Piggott squeezed
between the pair, nearly opposite the
paddock, compelling Golden Rule to win,
and beating Sardine a head for the place
Piggott received a tremendous ovation
from the crowd, but the Kisses, groans
and catcalls rendered the Corrigan pair
were continued for nearly five minutes
This was the only exciting feature of the
DAY sport. The Ltssak stakes were cap
tured by F'ormero, the race passing off
without incident. Favorites DISPLAYED
rare good taste by annexing four purses.
The Lfssak stakes for three-year-olds
over one mile attracted a very select field
to the post. Some days ago Formero was
beaten in race by Olinthus but Mar
tins handling of the former was of such
bungling description that 1t was plainly
apparent the Sink colt was capable of re-
versing the verdict When the betting
opened yesterday Formero, with Piggott
to ride, opened a to favorite Then
came determined play on First Tenor
the Burns & Waterhouse entry forcing
the books to rub from 4 to 2 and sending
the price against FOrmero-> back to the
same quotation. Seven to two was laid
against Olinthus. and AZ to 1 was offered
about Horton. The race was short of de-
scription:. Piggott took Formero to the
front and, never headed, won cleverly by
over two lengths from Olinthus in 1:4i
First Tenor labored along the last half
but finished gamely, downing Horton
nose for the small end of the stake
Prompto at odds on. led a cheap band
of platers out in the opening six-furlong
