HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL
GAME ENDS IN WRANGLE
Mission and Lick Teams Have an Un-
satisfactory Contest on Preside
Athletic Ground.

The Lick and Mission High School
baseball teams had an unsatisfactory
game yesterday on the Preside ath-
letic grounds. The score stood, when
all the players had left the field, five
runs for each. In the final part of the
ninth inning the Lick team was at bat.
With one Lick man on third base and
but one out and the teams heaviest
slugger at the stick, the Mission boys
objected to playing any longer on ac-
count of darkness. Carpy, the Mission
pitcher, lost control of the ball and
the chances were that Lick would win.
A long and a warm discussion took
place, which put stop to further play.
While the umpire was considering his
decision the Mission team withdrew.
Umpire Kennedy refused to give a
decision. His colleague. West. de-
clared the game forfeited by Mission.
Kennedy said II Vests decision held
good he would give the game to Lick.
otherwise he would pass it up to the
Academic Athletic League to decide.
Kennedy wrote statement of his posi-
ton and delivered it. West, the UNI
pire officiating on the bases at the
time, said that, although it was Ken
nedy's place to decide, he declared per-
sonally that Lick was the winner.

RAILWAY BUYS A SLICE
OF ENIERYvuLE TRACK
Race Course Across the Bay
Has Been Sold.

Rumors which have been in circu-
lation fer several days to the effect
that negotiations between the New
California Jockey Club and the Santa
Fe Railway Company had ended in
the sale to the latter of the Emery
vile race track property were set at
rest yesterday by Thomas H. Will
liams, president Of the racing asso-
citation.
1t was stated last evening by Pres
ident Williams that the story had
probably arisen out of the fact that
the jockey club had given the owners
of the race track property permission
to sell to the Southern Pacific Com
pany small portion of the outer part
of the track grounds for a ticket Of
fee site
Recently the officials Of the South
ern Pacific Company made an offer to
the owners of the ground for a small
section OF the latter. upon which they
desired to erect ticket Office. and by
consent of the jockey club, which holds
a long lease on the Emeryville site,
1t was finally agreed that forty-four
hundredths of an acre Of land at one
end of the track should be transferred
to the railroad company. In order to
clear the newly acquired ONCE site the
fence of the race track will have to
be moved back a short distance. The
railroad company has agreed to have
this work done at its own expense.

Los ANGELES. April 7.-Fitzgerald
and Baum engaged in a pitchers bat
tie to-day and the latter had all the
best of 1t in steadiness. Fitzgerald
walked nine men and allowed but two
hits, while Baum walked one man and
allowed three hits. Lack Of hitting

the last half of the ninth Fitzgerald
walked Smith and Dillon and then de-
liberately sent Cravath to first on

Ross. but he, too, walked. Fitzgerald
being unable to locate the plate. This
forced in the run that won the game.

Jones Incurs Wrath
of Umpire Davis
in Fifth.

Even If the Portlanders did boot the
ball around the lot eight times at Rec
reation Park yesterday afternoon they
clouted it hard enough to squeeze three
runs through. The Seals could not do
any walloping, 80 the best they got
was a gift of two through the kind
ness Of the hostile fielders. 1t was a
nose finish. Score-Portland 8, San
Francisco 2.
Bertien Jones pitched shutout ball up
to the time he was put out Of the game
in the fifth spasm. He had everything
but support. This the f1elders abso-
lutely refused to give him. but when
Essick mounted the mole he was treat
ed like a prince and from that time
on San Francisco did not figure.
San Francisco shone only in the third
spasm, when errors put Wheeler and
Mohler on the sacks. Wheeler stole
and then the Portland infield took an
ariel ascension. The ball was thrown
to all parts of the lot by Runkle and
Mclean and in the meantime both
Mohler and Wheeler tore through to
the plate with, the only runs for
Uncle.
Householder and Atz bit off singles
in the fourth and Runkle secured a
pass, making 1t a full house. Clark
flew to left and Householder beat the
throw to the plate. Jones responded
with drive to center, letting in Atz.
Van Buren, singled in the seventh, stole
on the first ball pitched and arrived
when Judge McCreedie pushed one up
against the right field fence for two
sacks.
Jones incurred the displeasure of Mr..
Davis in the fifth, when he made siren
uous objections to a decision at third
base. He knelt down and offered up
prayer and for this little act out of the
game he had to go. Essick relieved
him and from that time on the Seals

Atz had a bad day at short and

get away from him. San Francisco
played perfect ball in the field, but
even this cannot win ball games with

Berkeley and Stanford Boat

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April Z.
Stanford and California are to meet
on the water this year in spite OF all
the difficulties that have attended the
many attempts at preliminary arrange
rnents. The final agreement was
reached to-day when the managers Of
Stanford, California and the Univer-
sity OF Washington decided upon a
compromise that settled all the former
points of dispute. The boatrece Will
not be rowed on the Oakland estuary.
for which the blue and gold contend
er. nor on the Stockton water-course,
where the cardinal expected TO hold the
meeting. It VIII be held at Seattle,
Wash. and the crews OF Stanford Uni
Versity. the University Of California
and the University of Washington will
compete in the three-cOrnered affair.
Coach Gather Of the cardinal crew
gave out this information this after
noon when the men appeared for work
at Redwood City, the training quar-
ters. The news was received with de-
light by Stanford enthusiasts, for from
indications all prospects of a race with
the University OF California this year
were of.
On next Wednesday the cardinal
crew will meet a four-oared shell
manned by men from the University
OF Washington. The race will be at
Redwood City, where there is smooth
straightaway course Of two miles.
Here the Stanford men have built a
boathouse. California will row the
northern crew on the 18th OF this
month on the Oakland estuary. Stan
ford had made arrangements to row
a return race with Washington at Sc
attic early in June. II was here the
chance for a compromise with the Uni
versity Of California came. Manager
r H Evans of the northerners saw
the opportunity and he suggested TO
Stanford that California be invited to
compete, making the race q three-cor-
nered affair. Stanford was only too
glad 70 accept the proposition. Word
was sent to California and the crews
from across the bay signified their in
tention to-day Of entering the meet.
The exact date has not been decided
upon, but It is probable the regatta
wiz be held in June
