LICK STUDENTS RECEIVE
A TROPHY FOR VICTORY
Silver Cup Goes to the Team VIM
ming Bay Counties Athletic
Field Day

The presentation of the trophy Of
fered to the team winning the bay
counties field day was the occasion of
an enthusiastic review of the tri-
umphs of the Lick athletes yesterday
at Lick High School. The rally, as
the gathering was termed, was called
for 1890. The men who spoke were
Yell Leader j. Hill. 05: Baseball
Captain George White; Barfeau,
Licks trusty fielder; Marius Hotch-
kiss. F. Bowley and D. H. Walker of
the student body.
The enthusiasm, which up to this
time had vented itself in roofing,
reached a climax for which the term
roofing was mild when Fred Moullen,
the famous track star, appeared with
the prize. In a few well chosen re-
marks regarding the excellent work
and good training observed by the
members of his team in the last meet,
he bestowed the cup upon the mem
bers of the Lick faculty, represented
by Mr.. Merrill.
In thanking the members of the
team Mr.. Merrill expressed the idea
that from the present outlook it would
be the fortune of Lick to remain in
possession of the artistic cup. as the
interest shown by the lower classes is
great. Following the presentation
and acceptance of the trophy Mr..
Drew, Mr.. Hewitt and Mr.. Tibbetts,
members Of the faculty, congratulated
the athletes.

MITCHELL ACCEPTS Def
OF BATTLING NELSON
Says Dane Cannot Stop White in Ten Rounds

Charlie Mitchell, the bluff and hearty
Englishman who is here with Jabez
White, met Battling Nelson yesterday,
and there was fight talk in the air at
once Some days since, when Nelson
was in anything but an amiable frame
Of mind, he said he could stop White
In ten rounds.
Mitchell picked him up on this yes
terday and wanted to bet a lot Of
money that he could not do so. Nelson
stood to his guns, and expressed de-
sire to undertake the contract He did
not have enough money on his per-
son to bind the match, but went in hot
pursuit of Manager Nolan. He could
not find him, so he secured $1,000 and
again sought Mitchell. He could not
find him, so he posted the money and
expects il to be covered to-day.
Manager Nolan and Willie Britt met
for the first time at an early hour yes
terday In an Ellis-street cafe, and for
a time it seemed likely an affair
would result. They had an earnest talk
for q few minutes and then went out
into the night They started down Ell
lis street toward Stockton, and had
gone but short distance when they
stopped abruptly and had another ami
mated discussion. They then went out
toward Powell street. Friends inter-
vened and hostilities were declared off,
1t developed afterward that Nolan
and Britt intended to take cab and
drive out to the park, which they
could settle their grievances. On the
way TO the hackman's stand Nolan re-
membered that the cabby is an inti-
mate friend OF the Britts. He bet
heavily on the Californian every time
he started except in the memorable
affair with Cans.
1t dawned on Nolan that he might
have to fight two men instead of one
and that resulted in change in plans.
They were on their way to get another
cabby when their friends pointed out
the folly of their actions.

Umpire Klopf Rules
Players With a
Heavy Hand.

OAKLAND, March So.-The baseball
season opened in Oakland with all
kinds Of trouble, of which the loss Of
score Of to was not the least. An
array of spectacular effects had been
arranged by the management in the
shape Of an automobile parade around
town, the pitching OF the first ball by
Mayor-elect Frank K. Mott, speeches
by Clay Hawbaker of the Oakland
team and Mike Fisher of the Tacomas,
but there was trouble everywhere.
The first trouble came when Pete
Lohman was suddenly removed from
the position he has held for several
years Of manager and captain. George
Van Haltren, the veteran baseball
player. was given Lohman's old posi-
ton. He will be the whole thing, both
I on and off the field. Lohman will re-
main with the club, but will attend
to the financial and ticket end. He may
catch a few games.
Both clubs went up against Umpire
Klopf. and before the game was over
each voted that If Klopf was not a
Russian he was certainly a czar, and
from now on he is to be known as
Gear Klopf.
Before the game opened a big white
automobile was run directly on the
pitchers box and President Clay Haw-
baker Of the Oakland Association,
Manager Fisher Of the Tacoma team
and Mayor-elect Frank K. Mott
stepped out. President Hawbaker an
nounced that Oakland was the greatest
city in the world and that Frank X.
Mott was the greatest Mayor Oakland
had ever had. Manager Fisher re-
piled he was sorry the Oakland team
was going up against his champions
scared TO death. Then Frank Mott
managed to throw the first ball half
way to the plate and the season was
opened.
Both pitchers thought they were
getting the worst of 1t on balls and
strikes, but Klopf was boss and he
said so in no uncertain terms He
ordered coachers on and off the lines
at Will. and a sullen peace existed
until the sixth inning, when both
teams got men on bases and the play
ing was close and fast. The kicks
began to pile up until the eighth
inning when Van Haltren, who was
on first, tried to make second on a
bad throw. The ball was returned to
second and Klopf called Van out. The
old National Lacquer made a start for
the umpire, started one swing for him.
potent rage. Fortunately for Van
Haltren, Klopf did not see the act
The facts remain that Oakland
could not hit Fitzpatrick and that
Klopf was a stern reality, and so
Oakland lost the first game to the old
champions by the following score:

have to secure two more votes to get
the permit from the board in addition
to the eight Supervisors who stood by
him on Monday.
A titanic struggle for the permit is
going on among the politicians behind
and against the Yosemite Club. and the
outcome Is difficult to forecast.
Jabez White went to Larkspur on
Wednesday, accompanied by Charles
Mitchell Jr. He went at once to
Smiling" Metzner's tavern. where he
will condition himself for his coming
battle. White was greeted at the sta
tion by number Of Larkspur sporting
men, who extended him a hearty well
come. Jabez, by his affable manner,
has made quite an impression on the
residents. and In a short period prom
ises to be the idol of the town.
He is pleased with his training quar-
ters and says he never conditioned him
self in such beautiful spot He donned
his road attire yesterday and walked
to the outskirts Of San Rafael. Real
hard work will not be INDUCED in until
the beginning Of next week.
Mulachy Hogan, a recognized
American authority on boxing, says Of
Britt's pretensions to the title Of light
weight champion:
Important as the coming Britt White bout
will be II will yet lack point of inter-
est One of the fighters Britt. is not titla
holder. James Edward has made many a
claim to being lightweight champion of
America, but that line lost to Joe Cans on
foul' in his record keeps his claim from
being good.
The bout, then will settle no worlds cham
pionship White has the qualifications to fight
for such title. but Britt lacks his part.
Al that the winner Is likely to be hailed a.
a title holder by many fight followers. II
is certain that the manager OF each will
claim world honors for his man.
White impressed those of US here who sa W
him as grand looking pugilist His weight
seemed evenly distributed. his shoulders look
ing especially good. He has the "hghting
eye" too. and altogether looks like a well
assembled fighting machine

Practically all the live exhibits were

LOS ANGELES. March So.-Portland
8, Los Angeles s.
The baseball season opened in this
city to-day, with Portland opposing
the home team. The visitors won by
falling upon Baum's delivery in the
third inning and lining out four
doubles before the side was retired.
After this particularly bad inning
Baum pitched splendid ball. French
pitched for Portland. While he was
batted freely, he managed to keep the
hits fairly well scattered Both teams
fielded cleanly.
The weather was disagreeable. A
cold wind blowing from the northwest
and flurries of rain made 1t look doubt
full for the opening game until nearly 2
o'clock. Notwithstanding this handi-
cap there was a crowd Of more than
two thousand on hand to cheer the
Mayor of Los Angeles as he tossed the
first ball over the plate.
The game was preceded by an auto
mobile parade through the downtown

Travers cost the favorite the purse. A
furlong from the wire, while Sad Sam
still maintained the lead, Iredeus
looked to hold st. George safe and was
gradually closing on Sam. The last few
yards the favorite got to sprawling
about, and Wright dropped St. George
down first by a head. David Boland
lost the show to Sad Sam by neck.
FOUR CHOICES DETHRONED.
Four public choices were dethroned.

Fine weather attracted a large attend

Mazapan led into the stretch and then
lost the show to Iron Watson.
POsSART PROVES THE BEST.
Possart, the even money choice, dem
onstrated he was much the best Of the
eleven starters in the mile and six

poorly with the black horse and, after
threading his way through the bunch,
beat Maxetta half a length in a driv-

the show.
There are no apologies to offer for
