Rain Stops the Play
in Tennis Tour
nanent..

Only one match was completed in the
annual intercollegiate tennis meet, held
at Berkeley yesterday morning, but this
one was won by the blue and gold men.
The second match was started, but the
heavy downpour put a stop to play
after the first set Claude Wayne. Cal
ifornia's No. l player. beat George
Hodge, the Stanford No. player, in a
close and interesting match. Hodge
played brilliant game in the first set,
smashing perfectly from all parts of
the court. Wayne found the pace too
warm and was able to annex but two
games.
Hodge kept up his aggressive tactics
in the second set, but Wayne improved
materially and his steady game proved
the undoing of Hodge. Wayne took
this set by a score of GA.
The third and deciding set was rather
unsatisfactory 1t was played between
showers on a wet court. The first part
was exceedingly close, first one player
winning a game and then the other.
BY some excellent chopping and ac-
curate volleying Wayne ran the score
to So in his favor The Stanford cham
eighth game With lead of 40-15 in
the next game Hodge looked to have a
fair chance to even up the score.
Wayne, however, was equal to the oc
casion and pulled out the game. The
score. in his favor, was 20, GA, 6-3.
This match practically settled the
tournament. The teams were figured to
be about equal in doubles, but the
chances for a Stanford victory in the
second singles match look slim.
The contestants we're Neil Baker of
California and Reginald McSwain of
Stanford. Baker outclassed his OPP
ponent and won the first set without
losing a game. The first game of the
second set also went to Baker. The
tournament will be completed next Sat
urday.

PARASITE BLAMED FOR
SCARCITY OF SARDINES
French Scientist Making Experiments
Which Promise to Be OF Good
Benefit to Fishermen.


French scientists have at last discov-
cred what they believe to be the cause
of the hitherto inexplicable disappear
ance of sardines from different parts Of
the French coasts.
These disappearance, at irregular in
tervals, have been the cause OF great
misery and suffering TO the population
of the districts concerned, who live en-
tirely from the sardine trade. and
scores of deaths from starvation follow
ed the last misfortune of this kind,
when. some two years ago, the sardineS
disappeared in a few days as COM
pletely as il there had never been any
in French waters.
DR.. Marcel Baudouin has returned to
Paris after spending six months in the
Vendee department, and reports that
he has discovered a small parasite OF a
crustacean type, very delicately formed
and bright in color. that fastens itself
upon the sardine. generally first upon
its eyes, and literally eats its way
through the fish's body
DR.. BaudOuin has brought back q
number OF sardines still living. with the
parasite firmly fastened upon them,
and in conjunction with other scien-
lists in the states employ is studying
without poisoning the water or intro
ducing into the body of the fish unde-
sirable elements
The whole coast of Western France is
watching with interest, and even anx-
iety, these efforts, for the experts as
Sert that the parasite is the only rea-
sonable explanation of the decline in
the valuable sardine industry.-Chica-

Anthorship Among indians.

OF late years. according to the Kan
sas City Journal, the number of writers
among the Cherokees has greatly in
creased. There are historians in the
tribe whose works are used as text
books in the Indian schools, and who
are cited as authorities not to be dis
puted. There are also Indians who
have written codes of law which be-
fo~ being put In permanent form had
been handed down from generation to
generation. The Indians to-day obey
these laws with a greater reverence
than they do the laws of the United
States. There are Indian novelists-
novelists who devote their time to en-
tertaining the Indian mind with ro-
nance, with entangled plots and blood
curdling climaxes. These books are
popular among the Indians. Edition
after edition of some works is pub
lished, and they are read by warrior
and sQuaw alike.

OarSmen of Berkeley
CleverIy Defeat
Washington.
Race Is Held Under
Adverse Water
Conditions.

The Iusty oarsmen OF the University
Of California. rowing well within them
selves. beat the four Of Washington
University by about three lengths in a
tWo-mile race yesterday morning on
Oakland Creek. There was one false
start, Tilton Of the Washington crew
breaking an oar at the first attempt.
It had been intended to row from the
lighthouse at the mouth Of the estuary
in an easterly direction up TO a line of
Alameda Point, but when il was found
a strong breeze was blowing down the
creek and that the tide was running
out it was decided to start from Ala
media Point and row down to the bank
on the narrow gauge mole, nearly op-
pOsite the lighthouse. A train leaving
the depot at Fourteenth street, Oak
land carried fair number Of specta-
tors to the finishing point at the mole.
which was reached about 9:35 o'clock.
The racing crews. however, did not
cross the starting line until after IL
o'clock. The University Of California
crew soon assumed a lead and finished
comfortably nearly three lengths ahead
Of the visitors from the north, who
seemed pretty well rowed out. The last
part of the race was pulled in heavy
rain. The California boat carried a
cockswain weighing l1o pounds. To
compensate for the extra weight the
shell Of the Washington men carried
forty pounds OF dead weight in its
stern.
The winning crew was made up OF E.

and captain. and Z. Loeb, cockswain.
1t was coached for the race by E. NJ.
Gsrnett, who taught the men the stroke
introduced at Harvard by the famous
English university rowing coach, r. c.
Lehman. with some notifications.
The representatives Of Washington
University were Richard Gloster, bow;
G. Tilden, No. 2; Owen Grin, No. 3, and
d. Pullen, stroke. The shell was steered
by Gloster with his feet. Toward the
finish both boats We're too far over to-
ward the north wall OF the estuary, the
washington crew keeping right in the
wake Of the leaders.
The officials in charge OF the event
were as follows: Referee, Professor
Borden; judges, z. NJ. Garnett, J. c.
Knight and Professor Henry Morse Ste
phens; timers. Professors Walter Ma
gee and George Edwards.
Tomorrow the crew of Washington
University, which deferred its departure
for its northern home on account of the
flasco on Friday, will row against the
four representing Stanford University
over a two-mile course from the ferry
slip at Sausalito TO Waldo Point The
start viii be made at 10 a. m. A keen
struggle may be looked for, as the

carry one victory home and the Stan

Heavy Immigration From Russia.

1t Is natural that immigration from
Russia should increase about this
time, but the fact that the arrivals
from that country in the month of De-
cember were about so per cent greater
than in the corresponding month of
1908 or 1902 suggests at least some gem
erai knowledge OF premonition Of i'm
pending trouble beyond that due to the
war with Japan. 1t Is merely a hint,
but it Is enough to raise the question.

present conditions continue the immi-
grafton OF 1905 will be the largest ever
known. In that case 1t will approxi-

Indepcndent Walters.

Nowhere in the world are first-class
walters so independent as in New York.
They will not pool their tips and divide
share and share alike. The expert
ment was tried here and failed. An
attempt made a year or so ago to COM
pei walters to employ their. own omni-
buses also failed. An omnibus is a
man who clears away the dishes. In
European hotels he is employed by the
waiter. At Sherry's, Delmonico's and
the Waldorf the most experienced wait
ers get $50 q month. If they take a
day off it is at their own expense and
must put on a sub" To command a
$50 position waiter must speak two
or more languages. A large number
of guests who patronize the expensive
hotels and restaurants cannot speak
English. Many of them cannot even
read it. 1t gratifies them to find a
waiter who can speak French or Ger
man. That is why French, German or
Swiss walters. who are usually poly
glots. get a larger salary and receive
more in tips than English-speaking &
waiters.-Pittsburg dispatch.
