To extinguish chimney on fire
take a large handful of sulphur and
throw 1t into the fire. When the sui
phurous fumes ascend they will at
once put out the fire.
A small tray of quicklime placed in
closets after they have been thorough
ly cleaned will be found excellent for
keeping the air pure and absorbing
moisture. The lime must be frequent

Little Change in White Goods.

In plain white goods there is little
change from last year, aside from the
fact that thin airy things will have
the place of honor. Plain and en-
broidered linens from very sheer to
very coarse weaves will be used for
gowns and shirt-waist suits. There
are several varieties of cotton eta
mines and mercerized materials OF
many descriptions. Without hesita-
ton one may buy dimities, French
and Partisan lawns, wash chiffons,
silk muslin and English nainsook;
while embroidered swisses in vari-
ous-sized dots, in stripes or in foral
designs, are better style than for
many years past.

New Idea in Linens.

A new idea in linens is to be seen IN
the loosely woven ones which re-
semble scrim more than anything
else. The color of this material, also,
looks like scrim, and many beautiful
effects are shown in colored flower
designs on the ecru background. One
of the prettiest linens is of a pure
white mesh with a delicate pale green
intermingled. Fern leaves are scat
tered about the border.

RACKET WIELDERS
IN COLLEGE MATCH
Tennis Experts of the Uni
versities Will Meet To-Day
on the Stanford Courts

The annual intercollegiate tennis
tournaments between Stanford Univer-
sity and the University of California
will be played this morning at STAN
ford. A month or so ago Stanford was
thought to have absolutely no chance
towin. Her prospects. are much bright
er now, and although a cardinal vic
tory is hardly anticipated, the Palo
Alto players are expected to make
good showing. The fact that the tour
nament is to be played at Stanford
will give the players of that college
quite an advantage. The California
players have played but once on the
Stanford courts, while their rivals have
been practicing there for weeks.
California will be represented by j.
Drummond MacGavin as first man in
singles, Neil Baker as second man in
singles and MacGavin and Robert Va
rel in doubles. For Stanford George
Hodge will be first man in singles.
CIeve Baker will be second man and
Baker and Hodge will play the doubles.
Hodge is young player from South
ern California, who has never played
on the courts here. He is considered
clever by some of the old Stanford
players, and as he has been practicing
regularly of late he should be at his
best. He will be opposed TO Drummond
MacGavin. The latter is easily the best
player of the five. and is figured to win
handily from Hodge. MacGavin, how
ever, is erratic, and if he has an off
day his opponent will have an excel
lent chance to lower his colors.
The Baker-Baker match will probably
prove the closest of the three. Cieve
Baker last year played George Baker of
California in the second singles match.
Neil Baker is a brother of George and
hardly classes with the latter. Last
year Cleve Baker won set from
George Baker and made the latter
work to beat him. From this the Stan
ford players figure that Cieve Baker
has at least an even chance to beat his
opponent. Neil Baker is wonderfully
steady. and if Cleve Baker beats him
If will not be on the formers errors
The doubles, like the MacGavin-
Hodge match, should on form go to
California rather easily, but Variel,
like MacGavin, is erratic and both are
hard men to figure on.
The entries for the Academic Ath-
letic League tournaments must be in
to-day These events will be held in
the early part of May. AS usual, the
greatest interest centers in the singles.
Herbert Schmidt of Boone's University
Academy and Herbert Long of Lowell
High School are easily the best play
ers, and one of them is expected to
carry off the championship.
The Golden Gate Tennis Club has
sent out announcements for handicap
doubles tournament, to be played on
the park courts on the 24th inst. En-
tries close on the 21st. The three time
cups will be played for.
The California Tennis Club will hold
a similar tournament on the same date.
The members will play in a handicap
doubles tournament for the Directors
cups.

LACROSSE MATCH
ON CLARK'S FIELD
Twelve of the Olympians
Will Play Against TalagOo
Team at San Mateo Sunday

On C. w. Clark's polo field at San
Mateo, beginning at 2:3O p. m. to-mor-
row, there will be a lacrosse match
between the Talagoos of San Mateo
and an Olympic Club twelve.
The Olympic Club team will be COM
posed of much the same men as on
last Sunday, though a few new ones
will be tried. The Talagoos will take
the opportunity of trying out some of
their junior players and their team
will be somewhat weaker than the one
which played last Sunday at the Pre-
sidio Athletic Grounds. The match is
one of a series of exhibition games
which are intended to give men desir-
Gus of learning the game chance to
practice and to educate a body of spec
tators in the points of the Canadian
national sport The players appreciate
highly the permission to use c. w.
Clarks field, which is a much pleas
anter ground than the one near Harbor
View
The Olympic team will consist of the
following: Gossip, goal; Burden, point;
Lynch, cover point; Gayfey, first de-
fense; Minto, second defense; Petersen,
third defense; Mccarthy, center; VIM
perly, third home; Henneker, second,
home; Crilly, first home: MountZ, out
side home; Barclay, inside home; T.
Mclaughlin, field captain; Hughes,
spare man.
In last Sundays game the Olympic
team lacked combiGation work and fell
easy victims to the Talagoos. Peter
sen, the we'll known fullback of the
Vampire association football eleven,
Will add to the strength of the Olym-
pics, having been member of the
English international lacrosse team.
Last Sunday there were some good
runs down the field for the Olympics,
but the shooting for goal was weak.
Some of the players, too, seemed in
clined to turn the struggle for posses
sion of the ball into wrestling match.
