According to hearsay, $4,000 was recently

If Mounce had used better judgment in
the opening sprint Pat Morrissey could
not have lost. He pulled in at the head
of the stretch in an endeavor to get
through on the rail when it looked and
was an impossibility.

Old England and San Nicholas has at

PASADENA rs READY
FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME
Accommodations for Eight Thousand
Spectators Are Being
Prepared.

PASADENA, Dec. 20.-Arrangements for
the Stanford Michigan football game, the
big sporting event of the annual tourna-
ment Of roses on New Years day, are
nearing completion. The Stanford party,
consisting Of the varsity and subs,
coaches and trainers, twenty men In all,
is scheduled to arrive here tomorrow
noon in charge of Manager Edwards. The
men will be quartered at the Hotel Green,
as will the Eastern players Wnen tney
arrive. The Stanford eleven will complete
it's training here with daily practice on
the new gridiron now being finished at
Michigan eleven and two men are expect
ed here by the 9th of this month.
Interest in the contest between the
champion eleven of the Middle West and
one of the big California varsities Is
strong among football experts here. Di-
rector James r. H. Wagner Of the Tour
nament Association is preparing accom-
modatiOns for 5000 people. Members OF
the Michigan Society of Los Angeles and
the Alumni of Stanford University have
reserved sections of the stands and boxes
for their use on New Years day and indi-
cations point to a large attendance.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 20
The twenty men composing the Stanford
football squad from which the team that
eleven on New Years day will
be chosen left Palo Alto on the
Sunset express tonight for Pasadena. The
men are all in excellent spirit and fair
physical condition, considering the fact
that they have not been in strict training
since the intercollegiate game on Novem-
ber 9. There are nearly enough players
in the squad to form two elevens to op-
pose one another in scrimmage work until
the day of the game. The team will be
strengthened by the presence of Traeger.
who it was feared would not be able to
play because of sickness. The big fellow
is picking up rapidly and by New Years
day will be able to give a good account
of himself.
The feeling among the football enthu-
siasts here is that the cardinal eleven will
make a good showing against the VOL
verines, although a victory is not hoped
for. Stanford's defense is stronger than
it's offensive work, and the cardinal sup
porters rely on this ability to withstand
attack to prevent a large score being
rolled up. such as Michigan has been win
ming by during the season.

other for three rounds, affording much
amusement to the spectators.
To the crowd they both announced their

nanny deserving men for Mr. Lewis or
amy man to ask for n fourth consecutive
term in office.
Second. That Mr.. lewis in order to
induce his present opponent to withdraw

N the presence of a prominent and repn-

ANOTHER CHANGE MADE.
Park Railway Co. Decides to Ust
Fourteenth Street After All.

The Park Railway Company yesterday
decided not to abandon the Fourteenth
street route. As the company did not
have sufficient room to run cars under
the II. & q. railroad bridge entering
Joseph H. Gooding's coal yard at Four
teenth and Scott streets, permission was
granted the railway company by the
Street and Sewer Directors to use Thr-
tecnth street from Clayton to Scott and
il was thought that the company would
alnndon the Fourteenth street route,
although it had its tracks down the
greater part of the distance. The com
pnny haU now made an agreement with
Mr.. Gooding whereby the company is to
remodel the bridge over the railway
tracks by putting in new girders which
will give ample room for the cars.
