FROM A DEMOCRAT
Whose Party Has Left Him, But He
is Still a Democrat.

One of the best Democrats that
ever lived, and a man whose party
has left him. informs the Palladium
from his home in Cambridge City
that he is delighted to know that
there is a strong sentiment in favor
Of Roosevelt and Fairbanks as the
Republican candidates for President
and Vice-President, only he would
like to see the order reversed. He
SAYS Senator Fairbanks is a gentle
man, every inch Of him, and scholar,
and no honors can befall him that
would be too great.

ST. Petersburg, Feb S.-Although
the fear was general here yesterday
that the presentation of the Russian
note to Japan might be followed by
an act on the part of the Japan gov
ernment which would plunge the two
countries into war, the startling ac-
ton of Japan in severing diplomatic
relations with Russia before the ac-
tual delivery of the Russian note
came like bolt from a clear sky.
It was believed that the receipt of
the note might have unmasked an ul-
timatum, but that Japan would sever
diplomatic relations, a step little
short Of a declaration of war, was al
most like blow in the face under the
present circumstances, and it IS re-
sented here accordingly. The authori-
ties believe this action places Japan
distinctly IN the wrong before the
world, and, moreover, after such
piece of impudence,' as it is de
nominated here, makes easy an appeal
to the patriotism of the Russian peo-
pie.

TENNIS CRACKS
MEET DEFEAT
Whitney and Griffin Spring
a Sensation by Defeating
Murdock and MacGavin
WIN IN STRAIGHT SETS
Victors Play an Excellent
Game Both at the Net
and in the Back Court

With the thermometer at 11o degrees
in the cool places and many degrees
higher in the sun baked courts, the
tennis players struggled for supremacy
yesterday at San Rafael The specta-
tors were treated to the greatest sur
Percy Murdock and Drummond Mac
GAVIN at the hands of Robert N. Whit
ney and Clarence Griffin. After dispos-
ing of Elliott and Overtcn easily on the
previous day, MacGavin and Murdoch
looked like sure winners. Some figured
there waSea possibility of their being
beaten by Allen and Baker, but nobody
conceded Whitney and Griffin chance.
MacGavin and Murdoch were pos
sibly suffering from over confidence,
while Whitney and Griffin went
into the match with nothing to
lose and with everything to gain.
If the defeated team had lost in
a five-set match it would have been
surprise enough. but they lost in
straight sets. Whitney and Griffin
played an excellent game both at the
net and in the back court.
The first set Whitney and Griffin won
handily and one and all thought the
losers would only have to get started
to win out In the second set Mac
Gavin and Murdock led at Az, and had
vantage in several Of the games, but
they all went to Whitney and Griffin.
The third and last set was repetition
of the second. MacGavin and Murdock
again led at Az, only to lose the next
four games straight.
Whitney did some fine volleying.
driving and smashing, and received
good support from his younger and less
experienced partner. 1t was another
match that demonstrated the uncer-
tainty of tennis. By virtue Of their
victory Whitney and Griffin will meet
the winner of the match between Allen
and Baker and Gardner and Rolfe in
the finals on Friday.
Despite the experience he has gained
ON the Eastern tennis courts, Reuben
G. Hunt proved no match for Trow-
bridge Hendrick of Southern California.
The latter lost the first set but won the
next three by scoring S-6, 6-2. GO. Hen
drick looks to have an excellent chance
of meeting Bell on Saturday. He will
meet MacGavin in the semi-finals. The
other semi-f1nal match will be between
Murdock and Overton
In the ladies' singles. Miss Florence
Sutton defeated her sister. Miss Vio-
let. The latter won only three games
in two SETS Miss Florence Sutton will
meet Miss Hazel Hotchkiss of Berke-
ley in the finals. The winner will play
Miss May Sutton on Saturday morning.
The matches played yesterday resulted
as follows:
Mems doubles-R N. Whitney and c. Grif-
fin beat J. D. MacGavin and Percy Murdock
6-3. o. Sd.

but Scores a Whitewash

Running SpOils Chances
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

When Jimmy Buchanan is right
none OF them has any license to hand
it out to him. He came near being
the shutout kid yesterday and It was
agonizinz TO see the Seals swinging
wildly and hitting nothing. A double
dummy play by Kruger and Devereaux
in the eighth round let San Francisco
get one and spoiled Buchanan's
chance for a blank. Score-Oakland
4, San Francisco l.
Although the day was the hottest
that ever visited the Eighth-street 10,
the talent put up a good article of ball.
All the errors that did happen were
unlucky ones and allowed runs to
come in. Oakland made its first two
runs off misplays by Gorton and Goch-
nauer. The latter booted another ball
and let another run score ere the
game had gone its course.
Barber was bit hard and often. He
had nothing with which to puzzle the
Commuters and were it not for their
bad work on the sacks they might
have rolled up twice as many runs as
they did. In the seventh three hits
a double and two singles-failed to
produce a single tally.
Dunleavy had ten chances in left
field and took 'em all. He might have
made it eleven. but in going after
Waldron's drive in the seventh he
slipped and could only get one mitt
on it. This was the first hit made
off Buchanan's delivery. The score:

STOCKTON RACE MEET ENDS
WITH MARKED SUDDENNEss
Promoters Lose $4,000 in Two Days
and Then Decide to Cancel the
Remaining Dates.

STOCKTON. Sept. THE race
meet here came to sudden end to-
day. The promoters and bookmakers
conducted an interesting programme
for two days at their own expense. On
Monday the laboring men were admit
ted free and something like 200 per-
sons paid admission. There was but
little done in the betting line, al
though the card was good one.
Horse owners felt the frost even
through the torridity of the atmos-
phere and began to draw out.
Last night the principal promoters
had an uproarious session. j. A.
Crowley, who has been in charge, as
signed all interest in the meet to a
new crowd, which agreed to- carry out
the weeks programme. This morning
their intentions thawed and the re-
naming four days programme was
Cancelled. The two days meet is said
to have cost the promoters $1,000. The
races we're good, but interest was
lacking. AS the city authorities re-
fused to allow an open town there
was nothing for the professional
sports and gamblers to do.
