Parker was the strongest candidate

presidential nomination.

Miss Mamie Graham of Green
Forest, Ark, who has been rob
bing the ever guIlible public by
means of a system of endless chain
letters, has been arrested and de-
MED the use of the United States
mail. She claimed to be blind and
also represented to her victims
that she had natural instinct for
music. She would send out letters
asking for a donation of % cents
and requesting the party receiving
the letter to write letters to three
friends asking for a donation.
Each were, in turn. to write te
three other friends and 50 on down
the line. 1t is said that she re-
ceiyed as high as s. and S. almost
every day in this manner. 1t was
discovered that she is not blind
and also that she does not know
one note of music from another
but merely used this means of pro
viding herself with little ready
cash. People continued to bite al
the scheme readily until the post
office department exposed the mat
ter. This reminds us of the truth

The Journal learns from Hon
w. S. Wright that the convention
at BatesyiIIe which has been char
acterized as the Davis convention,
did not instruct for Davis, as has
been reported. A number of the
delegates elected to the state con-
vention were friends of the COVER
nor, but the convention instructed
for Wood. The Journal would not
knowingly misrepresent anything
and We gladly make the proper
correction. This simplifes mat
tiers considerably and we trust that
the township committeeman select
ed by the different conventions
may satisfactorily arrange matters
so as to avoid any misunderstand-
ing as to which shall have the au-
thority to represent the various
townships. 1t is very unfortunate
that the split-up occurred, and we
hope that if any i'll feelings have
been engendered by the actions of
either side, that it will all blow
over in short while and that
peace and harmony may prevail.

The Arkansas Democrat very
wisely suggests that the state
should have 10000 copies of the
digest printed, instead of only s.
600. We agree with the Demo-
crat in this instance. The digest
should be placed within easy reach
of every citizen, in order that the
people may become better ac-
quainted with the laws of our
state. The state excuses no man
for violations of the law because of
his ignorance, yet it spends but
very little to acquaint him with
the laws it forces him to observe.

COLLEGE MEN WILL MEET
SOLDIERS ON BAI& FIELD
Fast Game Is Expected When Rival
Mines Clash on Prcsidio Dia-
mond This Afternoon.

Joe Wagner's all-star soldier ball
team will line up against picked nine
from the alumni of the University of
California and Stanford at the Presidio
athletic grounds this afternoon at
2:30. If nothing happens the game
should certainly prove to be the best
amateur struggle that has taken place
in this city for a long time, for each
team is made up of players who have
starred on many mines throughout the
State.
The soldier boys will pin their faith
to Forsyth and Conrad, the crack bat
terry of the Preside team. These men
have been doing great work for the
men in blue since the team was or
ganized and have made a wonderful
record. Overall. the noted athlete
from Berkeley, will probably pitch for
the college men, or if he is unable to
appear, Parker, formerly of Stanford,
will do the slab work. Reed. the for
mer Harvard fullback and catcher,
Will play behind the bat.

VARSITY TOSSERS
NOT YET In FORM
Stanford Men Seem Unable to
Acquire Snap and Ginger
in Their Preliminary Practice

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 19.
Although the cardinal nine has been
on the diamond for a month. its work
the past week has not been encourag-
ing. Many of the players get in the
game in a listless, careless fashion that
does not augur we'll for a perfected
team. The fielding has been ragged,
but not perhaps so bad as the base
running.
In spite of Coach Doyle's admonition
to watch the ball." the men while
on bases frequently become careless
and overlook chances to advance. This
was particularly noticeable in the
twelve inning tie game played with
Santa Clara Thursday. If the varsity
players had run bases as we'll as the
Santa Clarans did the game would not
have been a tie.
Sales, 06, has been doing most of the
pitching UP to this time owing to the
fact that Tritch, who occupied the box
in the second game against Berkeley
last year, has been troubled with
sore arm. Sales proved very effective
in the last game with Santa Clara and
has kept up remarkable batting rec
ord Until Thursday he had batted
the game that day his record was three
hits out of four times up.
The varsity lines up at present as
follows: Ball, catcher; Sales, Tritch
and Roosevelt, pitchers; Blake, Mat
thews and Moore, first base; Williams,
second base; Trowbridge, shortstop;
Swain, third base; Stott. right field;
Writ, center field; Chalmers. left field.
Whether or not this will be the per-
manent organization is purely a matter
of conjecture. Coach Doyle is trying
out all the candidates thoroughly in
an endeavor to get the best possible
combination.
Trainer Moulton is well satisfied with
the outlook on the track, but to the
average observer conditions are not so
favorable for Stanford victory as a
cardinal enthusiast could wish. Stan
fOrds losses have been very great,
while her gains from this years fresh
men class have not been commensurate
with Berkeleys.
OF StanfOrds sure point winners there
remain in college the following: Hyde
in the shot-put; Dunn and Gresham,
in the quarter mile Captain Holman
in the mile: Dole and Beach, in the
pole vault. and Bell in the high jump.
However, Dad" Moulton thinks he
has the material from which to de-
velop victorious team, and the Stan
ford roOters are confident that if it is
possible to bring forth such a team
Dad will develop it,

Oarsmen and members Of the Dolphin
Swimming and Boating Club are look
ing forward to an active season.
Though the membership roll was ex-
tended by the creation OF twenty va
cancies, only five or six of these now
remain. and there will soon be a wait
ing list of candidates for mem bership.
The boats are being put into shape,
the barge AriOn having been painted
white with blue OrnamentatiOn, so that
she is now one of the prettiest craft
on the bay
1t is expected that many members
viii visit the clubhouse on Sundays
and holidays. a club regatta, for
which any member may enter, will be
held on March 20. For the barge races
four Ct the most skillful oarsmen OF
the club viii be selected and will pick
crews. There will be two preliminary
races and a final the members of the
winning crew receiving medals pre-
sented by the club. The crews will be
made as even in strength as possible
so as to Increase the interest in the
event.
The club Will purchase two additional
outraged slxiffs and sculling races will
be held among the members. At the
next regular meeting of members the
question of buying new four-oared

1t is more than likely that the Cali
fornia Club tournament set for Mon
day will be postponed. Several of the
prominent club players have entered
the tournaments across the bay. If
the two conflict the local event will
probably so ever.
Carr Neal, formerly one of the best
players in the United States, has played
at the California Club courts several
times during the week. Mr.. Neal made
better showing in the East than any
other Californian. He won the West
ern championship about ten years ago.
The number of entries for the Ala

much larger than was expected. Forty
eight of the best players from both
sides of the bay will meet to-day, to-
morrow and Monday.
