COSTLY BLAZE

The Frank Furniture and

Destroyed.
Three Employees Are Badly
Burned While Trying to
Escape.

Fire broke out yesterday afternoon in
the four-story brick building at PIC Com
mercial street owred and occupied by H.
". Frank & Co., manufacturers of furni-
ture and mattresses, and before the fire
department go1 the blaze under control
the building was completely gutted and
the stock entirely destroyed. Sc rapid
was the spread of the flames that three
of the employees of the concern who were
in the building at the time came near be-
Irg burned to death. AS 1t was, they were
b2dly scorched about the hands and face
The fire started in the picking room of
the mattress making department, which
is on the fourth floor. Just how 1t start
ed nobody connected with the firm knows,
but Mr.. Frank, the proprietor, believes it
WAS due to spontaneous combustion The
picking-room was at the rear end of the
building and in it were kept large assort-
meLts of hair and excelsior used in the
manufacture Of mattresses. This burned
like finder, giving the blaze a good head

covered the blaze first, and grabbing fire

progress Of the flames. Andrew Alex

the three men fought the flames until they
were almost cut off from retreat. Togeth-
T er they attempted to fight their way down

made gallant rush for the front of the
building to the fire escape. The flames
caught the fire-fghters just as they were
near the window and all three were
burned. Alexander was so badly burned
that he was taken to the Harbor Hos
pital, whore his injuries were dressed.
The fire department responded quickly.
Chief Sullivan stationed the water tower
in front of he building, which was by
this time burning on every floor. The
tower threw ions and tons of water into
the building, but the fire fought stub
borEly. Streams were thrown into the
burning structure from every accessible
quarter but it was found necessary to
turn in another alarm. After several
houIs of harG fighting the department

anoe. The insurance on the building was
$4,000. and a 5000 insurance was carried
on the stock.

STANFORD TIES WITH THE OLYMPIC STURDY ELEVEN,
WHILE THE STRONG MEN OF CALIFORNIA DEFEAT RELIANCE
Football Teams Struggle Gndhn the Berkeley Players
Champions Giving Proof Superiority in the Game

T HE Olympic Club football team
found ITSELF yesterday. After
being badly outplayed in the first
IL half of the game with the STAN
ford eleven at Sixteenth and Fol-
som streets the big stars of the collec-
tion pulled themselves together in the
second half and by some of the prettiest
and most fercely aggressive play seen
this season tied the score and fairly won
the honors from the collegians.
While each team secured a touchdown
and a goal, making the score a tie at &
to 6, the college boys held the clubmen
down to that mark with the greatest DIFF
ficulty and the superiority of the Olympic
team was evident.
There was nothing to it but Stanford
in the first half and the collegians were
chuckling in the expectation Of their team
pilling up "a big score in the second half,
when condition was expected to tell The
Olympic men had lined up but twice dur
ing the. week. Cadwalader's avoirdupois

ones who were up in the terminology of

ford players would make "cracklings" of
the ciubmen before the end of the game.
timers took a hitch in their belts, got to-
gether and played with machine-like pre-
cision,. and kept Stanford on the defen-
S1Ve throughout the second half. They
tore holes in the cardinal jerseyed line
and they ran the ends. Man after man
was taken out of the Stanford ranks and
fresh players substituted, but the on
slaughts of the champions of Winged-O
were irresistible. This, too, with but two
changes during the game in the Olympic
lineup, one of those being due. to a head
left end, got the worst of it and had to be
carried from the field, limp and semi-con-
scious. This surprising difference in con-
dition does not augur well for Stanford,
p
up grade after a slump and that few
days or week at most ought to put them
on edge again.
Cannon and Clay the Stars.
Cannon and Clay, the former Berke-
ley players, carried the ball for many
yards gain through their old enemy,s

but seven yards from the goal line. This
had occupied but a few minutes of play,

Mohler's Base Running the
One Bright Feature Of
Dull Play.

The baseball game at Recreation Park
yesterday was as listless as it is possible
for ball game to be. After two hours
and fifteen minutes of sweltering on the
bleachers the crowd left the grounds de-
Jectedly to tell their friends that San
francisco had won again, beating the
Oaklands by 10 to Z. "Youngey" Johnson
was relieved after he had twirled a few
innings for Ewing's men with but poor
success. Schmidt succeeded him in the
box, but the Oaklands were defeated as
bright feature of sultry lot of playing
the little fellow hitting the ball well and
stealing five bags. Nordyke injured his
ankle toward the close Of the game and
had to retire, Wilson going to second and

knee-cap, but he continued in the game.

ifornia football team in winning
yesterdays game from the sturdy Reli-
ance athletes. AT the close of the con-
test the score stood to in favor of the
students, the ball being on the clubmen's
2O-yard line. The Berkeley eleven in their
team work showed solid Improvement
The interference was good, and time and
again Mini and Womble were carried
around the ends for substantial gains.
The clubmen apparently outweighed
their opponents, but the extra weight
counted for naught against the team work
of the students. During almost the entire
game the ball was kept in Reliance terri
tory. Several times Platt, the Reliance
fullback, was forced to punt in order to
prevent the students from scoring.
For the Berkeley team in the first half
Mini, Womble, who played right half in
stead of right end, and Overall were re-
sponsible for most of the gains. OveraII's
