CONDON AND JAMES PLAY
SPIRITED HANDBALL GANF
OccadentaI Star Puts 1t on the Winged
10" Man After Great
Struggle

Joe Condor. the pride Of the Occi-
dental Club. slowed George James
away last night in as fast and as
spirited handball game as was ever
played in the Olympic Club court.
Condor was the more consistent and
1t was his steady grind that brought
home the victory. James rallied sew
eral times and came near tying the
score. He fell down on several easv
chances, however, toward the finish
and this gave Condor the opportunity
to win out. The final score was 81 to
40.
Louis Levy had little difficulty in
outpointing Eddie Antron of the ST.
Ignatius gymnasium by a score of 81
to FL. Levy's drives came too fast
for Antron, who never had a chance
to rally. Willie Canavan of the st.
lgnatius gymnasium forfeited to
George Cunningham of the Olympic
Club, while Tom Leach of st. Ignatius
forfeited to Henry Cory of the winged
90" The tournament will come to a
close on Sunday afternoon at the Oc-
cidental Club courts. The Pacific Ath-
letic Association will meet in Judge
Fritz's court tonight to pass upon the
protested game between Condor AMI
Cory.

With STANFORD
Famous Athletic Trainer Is
Re-engaged for Two Years
at an Increased Salary
DEVELOPS MANY CRACKS
Dole the Pole Vaulter and
Hyde the Shot Putter
Are Among His ProtegeS

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Feb. Is.
Trainer E. w. Moulton, familiarly
known to Stanford men and women al
Dad" who has successfully coached
the cardinal athletic teams for the past
five years, has been re-engaged at an
increased salary Of $500 a year for the
next two seasons. Trainer Moulton has
had many dattering offers to go East,
and 1t was feared when his contract
here expired this spring he would leave
the university. The announcement that
he will stay is hailed with Joy by fac
ulty. students and athletes Without
doubt Dad IS the most popular
trainer that has ever been at STAN
ford and the results of his work here
prove he Is one Of the best. 1t Is MouI-
ton who has made the observance Of
training rules at Stanford a success.
Dad" Moulton came to Stanford
from Notre Dame five years ago. Dur
ing his younger days he was a cele-
brated professional sprinter. running
over three hundred races. OF which he
lost only four. Forsaking the cinder
path Moulton became a trainer. turn
ing his attention at first to the develop
he trained several well-known pugillsts
and bicycle riders. During the decade
which preceded his first engagement
by Stanford he had had charge OF the
football and track teams of the univer-
stiles Of Michigan, Minnesota. Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Vanderbilt and the College
of Notre Dame. Among the many
noted amateurs developed under Moul-
toms tutelage have been ]. v. Crum,
the famous Iowa sprinter; Kranzlein,
the University Of Pennsylvania hur-
dler and broad jumper. and John Nc
Pherson, once worlds champion shot
putter. During his stay at Stanford
Moulton has developed a worlds
champion pole vaulter In N. z. Dole
and an American intercollegiate cham
pion shot putter in o. z. Hyde.
To-day Trainer Moulton received a
contract from the Pacific University OF
Forest Grove, Ore, offering him a place
as coach of the track team of that col
lege from April 2S to June u. He will
accept the offer if leave of absence
can be procured from Stanford. Late
last spring Moulton coached Willamette
University.
According to an order issued by
Trainer Moulton and Coach Cowden
this morning the baseball men are to
undergo the same strict training rules
as football and track athletes. Hereto
fore strict training has not been re-
quired in baseball. but this year the
men will be asked to refrain from the
use Of tobacco, alcoholic liquors and
keeping late hours. No baseball player
will be allowed to make an extended
trip off the campus without permission
of the coach and trainer.

SURPRISE AT NUMBER
Yosemite Club Is Again in
the Field, Contrary to the
Expectations of Managers

For some weeks past the boxing pro-
moters have with one exception shown
no interest in the March permit, and 1t
was accepted as a foregone conclusion
that il any fight was promoted IL would
be under the auspices OF the san Fran
cisco Athletic Club.
The promoters awakened with a start
from their lethargy yesterday, when
total Of five applications were made TO
The Supervisors for the permit. The
Yosemite Club. which some people had
pronounced out of existence, was repre-
sented by a petition bearing the sig
nature Of Harry Monahan, its secre-
taTy.
Ed Harrington, who was associated
With Alex Greggains for a time, made
an application in the name of the
Brooklyn Club. Judd Gibbs wanted the
permit for the National Club. The Bay
city Club, which has confined its ac-
tivities in the past to the amateur
game. also sought the coveted permit
The array of applicants proved too
much for the Supervisors Police Com

LOOKING OVER
GOULD ROUTE
Agents of Big Contracting
Firms Here Inspecting
Feather River Territory

Registered as "A. Frederick and par
ty, Chicago four representatives of
two of the biggest railroad contracting
firms in this country have been quietly
living at the st. Francis Hotel for a
number Of days. They have positively
to make any statement as to the cause
of their presence in this city. 1t became
known, yesterday, however, that they
came West at the solicitation of Chief
Engineer Bogue of the Western Pacific
Railroad, and have been making trips
over the proposed route of the new
overland road with a view Of bidding
later on its construction work
Heading the party is Arthur F. Mac
Arthur, vice president of the firm of
Macarthur & Brothers of Chicago, and
with him is his brother and two mem
bers of the firm of Fitzpatrick Brothers
Macarthur & Brothers have construct
ed many Of the larger buildings in Chi
cago and the Middle West, including
the big railroad depots, and up to the
present time they have confined their
business operations mainly to that class
of work. 1t is, however, generally un-
derstood that they have been secretly
interested in several big pieces of rail-
road construction work with Fitzpatrick
Brothers, who have been prominently
identified with contracting jobs along
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
roads for many years. Several months
ago Chief Engineer Bogue of the West
ern Pacific road invited a number Of
big contracting firms to come West and
look over the territory through which
the new Gould line is projected. Mac
Arthur & Brothers and fitzpatrick
Brothers, 1t is reported, decided to bid
for the big contract together, and un-
der this arrangement representatives of
both firms came to California together
The work of grading up through the
Feather River Canyon, which has been
carefully inspected by them, as well as
by representatives Of the Utah Contract
ing Company and Lantry Brothers, is
said to be one of the most stupendous
undertakings in the history of Western
railroad building, and will involve an
expenditure for grading alone of more
than SIS, 900, 900. According to Engineer
Bogue, who is also staying at the st.
Francis, it is proposed to start con-
struction work in the Feather River
Canyon at least two years in advance
of work along the rest of the overland
route, which is not filed with obstacles
of the same magnitude as In the can
yon.

fiuence OF liquor, helped the con-
ductor to throw Gibbs of. and two Of
them struck him several times on the
face and body. During the fight
Gibbs hat and coat were pulled of
and he could not find them again. In
the coat were two laundry books and
slips.

LIVELY BOUTS EXPECTED.
Berger. Casey and All Wing the
Stars of To-Night's Boxing.

stars of To- Nights Boxing.
Seldom has such a double attraction
been put forward by a boxing club in
the four-round game as the Berger
Casey and All Wing-Billy Bannon
bouts. to be waged tonight before the
San Francisco Athletic Club in Wood
wards Pavilion. All Wing is q show
in himself from the novelty Of seeing
a full-blooded Chinese adopting the
white mans game of fisticuffs. Those
who saw him last month. when he
knocked out Manuel Torres with the
famous pivot blow, will bear witness
that he can and does fight in an up
to-date manner. In Bannon the match
maker has plucked a tough customer
for the Celestial. Bannon is an Italian
of forbidding aspect, and is no stranger
10 the role.
OF course the real interest centers
in Sam Berger and Jim Casey. the rival
heavy Weights who fought four rounds
TO a draw a short time ago. Every
body who likes boxing knows Berger
and his capabilities. Casey was almost
a stranger before he sprung into prom
inence by giving Sam great battle.
Many thought Casey should have had
the verdict. These men have trained
hard enough TO go twenty rounds, in
stead of four, so bent is each on win
ming. Berger viii be attended by
Jimmy Britt and Spider Kelly, while
Casey has engaged the offices of Jack
Sullivan, Billy Snailham and George
Connolley.
Casey is a whirlwind boxer, who
throws precaution to the winds and
whales away, in clinches and out Of
them. Berger is the finished boxer,
and has won most of his bouts by
clean-cut decisions. So clever has Sam
appeared that many saw in him the
logical successor of Jeffries, although
he would be more Of the Corbett style
Of champion. 1t was Casey who upset
Berger's calculations before. and it
may be the same Casey who will do it
again.
