COLLEGE BOYS HIT HARD
Every Man on Blue and Gold
Line-Up, With Two EXcep-
tions, Lands on Ball Safely

BERKELEY. Feb. 20.-California's
varsity nine played and won the first
preliminary game on the university
campus this afternoon. Without try
ing hard the team rubbed defeat into
the hides of nine men from the Oak
land Elks 10 the tune of to g. On
the surface it looked as if the Elks'
nine. with its professionals. might give
the college men weight for age and
then beat them. but it was just the
other way. The colIegians had their
mitts out for any kind of ball all
the time and when it came to stick
work they usually bombarded with
the accuracy of a Japanese cruiser.
For the first time up they played we'll
together and the showing put hope
into the hearts OF a lot who thought
the varsity wouldn't have d chance
this year.
The varsity not only got more runs,
but more hits and less errors than
their professional and semi profess
sionai brethren on the other side. For
some reason the fates weren't kind to
Heitmuller and Bliss. the heaviest hit
ters on the team. who were the only
men who did not hit safely. Every
body "a got one or two hits.
The game demonstrated that the
team will have to practice a little in
the base running department. When
it came TO posing between bags the
men seemed as bewildered as hares in
a coursing park. In the second in
ming the three outs were administered
while the men were trying to do some
inexplicable thing in hostile territory.

BERKELEY GIRL
WINS The CUP
Ethel Ratcliffe Captures the
Jackman Tennis Trophy ON
Golden Gate Park Courts
PLAYS A STEADY GAME
Miss Hazel HOtchkiSS Disap-
points Her Admirers, Making
Poor Stand Against Victor

The Jackman cup, which was pre-
sented to the Golden Gate Tennis
Club about a year ago, was disposed
of yesterday afternoon. Miss Ethel
Ratclife carried off the handsome tro-
ply by beating Miss Hazel Hotchkiss
in the finals. This is the third straight
victory for the winner. proving beyond
doubt that she is the best woman
player in this part of the State.
Miss Ratcliffe is a University of Cali
fornia student and resident of
Berkeley. The cup has been played
for five times and every time has been
won by a Berkeley woman. Miss
Miriam Edwards won the first event
from scratch and Miss Hazel Hotch-
kiss the second, playing from the same
mark. Miss Ratcliffe also played from
scratch and in fRIr tournaments beat
Miss Edwards once and Miss Hotch-
kiss twice. Miss Hotchkiss beat Miss
Radcliffe IN the second tournament.
In the first three Journeys the ham
dicap players received odds much too
small to enable them to win. In the
fourth event the handicaDs were in
creased, but TO no avail. The scratch
players in the tournament just fin
, ished were placed half thirty in
stead of fifteen" back of scratch.
The handicap Ds of the poorer players
were again increased, but the two
scratch players came together again
in the finals. The odds allowed were
very great and Miss Ratcliffe's victory
was a well earned one.
The hnal match was a great disap-
pointment. Miss Hotchkiss was very
nervous and played much below her
usual form. Her net work. which is
strong as a rule. was 9oor yesterday.
On the other hand Miss Ratcliffe
played better than ever before. She
played almost entirely in the back
court and her ground strokes we're
both speedy and accurate.
In the first set Miss Hotchkiss won
the first two games, but Miss Ratcliffe
took the next five straight. At this
stage of the game Miss Hotchkiss
braced and played fine tennis. She
/ evened up the score. but Miss Radcliffe
won the next two games and the set
In the second set Miss Ratcliffe

PLAYERS FAIL TO APPEAR.
Local Tennis Experts Unable to Take
Part i'm East Oakland Matches.

Owing to the fact that many of the
local players were unable to cross the
bay yesterday afternoon only few
matches were played on the East Oak
land courts. In the preliminary
round of the singles tourney seven
matches were run off. while in the
first round there were but four. All
of the players from this side of the
bay are expected to be at the courts
before 10 o'clock in the morning to
play their preliminary matches. Most
of the matches were rather one-sided,
as none of the good players drew to-
gether.
The only surprise was the defeat of
Hamilton Murdock at the hands of
H. Palmer. MUrdock won his first
match easily and was expected to beat
Palmer, but the latter won 81, 60.
Murdock lost heart after the first set
and the second one was a runaway
affair.
The following matches were played:
Preliminary round-Gorrill beat
Webster ga. &C, 6-3: c. Gardner
beat McDuffie Ga. Ga; r. VarieI beat
Lowell 60. e.; c. Griffin beat Ames
6-I. 6-I: II. Murdock beat Millwain
60. e-4: Palmer beat Talcott by de-
fault; y. Baker beat Sherrard 6-1,
6-1
First round-Palmer beat Murdoch
81. SO; Biddle beat Foster So, 3-6,
6-3; Medcraft beat Porter 6-4, Sc.
Sc: Cook beat Francis GA, 10.
The matches to-day Will be much
closer and more interesting. AS much
as possible of both singles and dou-
bles tournaments viii be finished to-
day. A large crowd of local. enthus-
lasts will go over to Oakland to-day
and encourage their clubmates. The
matches played yesterday weeded out
some of the poorer players and those
played this morning will have the
same result. Some great tennis is
expected in the afternoon.
