shall be selected by the committee has
provoked action by rival political lead
ers. who now announce that in several
wards the committees sets of delegates
will be opposed by men chosen by pre-

Central Committee, who favored the
choosing Of delegates by clubs instead
OF by the committee, is furthering the
project to contest the committees

Ward Thursday night Thomas dis
cussed the matter, urging all to take
an active interest in politics and set

chairman Of the meeting. It is proposed
to organize such a club in each precinct

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

1915 Broadway, Jan. %.
Hanging helpless from the caves of
a house from the roof of which he
had slipped while at work, John Gel
der, plumber, who lives at 1911
Fairview street, Berkeley, was saved
from serious injury or death yester-
day by Deputy Sanitary Inspector E.
J. Smith. At the risk of his own life
Smith crept along the slippery roof
until he could reach the imperiled
plumber and, catching him by the
collar, dragged him to a place of safe
ty.
The accident happened at a house
in course of construction on Thirty
second street, near San Pablo avenue.
Gelder had finished the plumbing on
the building, which was ready for in
spection and on the arrival OF Smith
went to the roof to turn the water
into the pipes. The roof was wet and
very steep. The plumber lost his hold
and a moment later shot down the
steep incline and over the edge. He
caught the gutter and managed to
save himself from fall.
Smith, who was on the roof at the
time, saw that Gelder was helpless.
He at once slid down to the edge,
making his way along the gutter to
where he could reach Gelder. A mo-
ment later he had grasped the plumb
er and as the latter's hold relaxed for
an instant 1t seemed as II Smith would
be dragged over the edge, but he held
on and swung Gelder up beside him.
Eddie" Smith, as he Is best known,
is one of the most popular athletes in
Oakland. He Is the instructor of box
ing at the Reliance Athletic Club.

number of persons who are parties to
a suit brought by the Humboldt Lum-

against the Phoenix Building and
Loan Association to recover 1895 for

The houses were erected by L. e.

Woodward, Watson & Co. and then
gave a trust deed to the Phoenix
Building and Loan Association for
sufficient sum to erect the houses. The
sum was not sufficient to satisfy the
claim and the loan association under
their deed sold the property and says
that 1t is not responsible for the debts.

SANTA CLARA NINE WINS.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 2s.
The Stanford baseball team played its
first preliminary game of the season
to-day at Santa Clara Although de-
feated by the score of to 0. the con-
opportunity to size up the new baseball
material Sixteen men played for Stan
ford, five of whom were pitchers. One
scratch hit, that by Stott, was all these
men could find in Walters, Santa
Clara's twirler. The fielding Of the car
dinal team was of high order, the fea-
ture being a fast double play In the
second inning. Santa Clara fielded per-
fectly and hit well. Walters, who oc-
cupied the box for the Catholic collie
gians, had perfect control and plenty of
speed. striking out fifteen of the cardi-
nal batsmen.
Stanford used four untried pitchers
before the veteran Sales was called on.
OF these, Rook, from Case School, In
diana, showed good form, allowing one
run in two innings. Menardi, a Los
Angeles high school lad, gave one hit
and no runs during his two-inning re-
lay. Thiele, freshman from Illinois,
was not so fortunate, allowing four
runs on four hits in the fifth. Coach
Cowden then sent in Johnson, a tosser
from the MultnOman CluD OF POrIlanQ-
He kept the Santa Clara sluggers
guessing during the sixth and seventh.
Sales, who followed. was UP to form.
displaying all his speed and the perfect
control Of his underhand shoots. He
allowed neither hits nor runs.
The game showed that Stanford will
have a fast fielding team again this
season, but the customary weakness in
batting is still present. To improve his
stickers Coach Cowden will give them
daily batting practice from now until
the end of the season. It is also evil
dent that the cardinal has as yet but
one frst-class pitcher, Sales. but any
of the freshmen tried to-day may de-
velop into varsity form as the season
progresses. The lineup of the teams
and the score by innings is as follows:
Stanford-Pitchers, Rook, Menardi,
Thiele, Johnson, Sales; catchers, Stott,
Daily; first base, Colbert; second base,
Lewis, Presley, Luce; third base. Fen
ton; shortstop, Trowbridge; left field,
