Lick baseball team triumphed over the
fast aggregation representing Belmont

campus of the latter school Saturday
afternoon and the Lick boys simply
waded in from the call of time and
won out by score of to Z.
Both teams played good. steady
game, considering the earliness of the
season. Lick won through the steady
box work of Captain White. Sherman,

The training quarters of young Cor
bett at Billy Shannon's villa near San
Rafael, and those Of Battling Nelson's s
at Metzner's Tavern, Larkspur. were
crowded yesterday with friends Of
the boxers Many sporting men jour
neyed to the Marin County resorts to
get line on the form displayed by
the boys before wagering their money.
Both Corbett and Nelson are still
overweight, but the problem of making
130 pounds at o'clock tomorrow night
is not worrying them.
Corbett claims he could have been
at weight last night, but he prefers to
/, wait until tomorrow before touching
the beam at 100. Yesterday afternoon
he weighed 1872 pounds. Nelson. after
his days work. was said to weigh 1872
pounds by his handlers. The trainer
anticipates no trouble in making the
required weight. as he has not vet COM
menced to dry out. BY this process a
pound or more can be readily disposed
of IN a day.
Corbett was the center of attraction
at Shannon's villa Joe Cans and
Frank Mcdonald came in for their
/ share, but the little Denverite received
much attention. Many visitors grasp
ed his hand during the day and wished
him good luck in his coming battle.
The majority of visitors desired to
see him work in the gymnasium. but
Frank Mcdonald would not agree to
the proposition.
: Corbett hit the road in the morning
with Joe Cans, and the pair went over
their usual route in fifty-nine minutes.
The journey usually takes an hour and
a quarter and when the boys ran into
camp fifteen minutes earlier than usual
Frank Mcdonald was taken by sur
prise. He had to hustle to prepare the
rubbing room. While Corbett was be-
| ing rubbed Cans remarked: Il never
saw fighter with a better wind.

The holier-t han-thou crowd have

whites of their eyes now that Mr..
Montague's record is up for inspec.
ton. 1t was not the virtue of pro.
phecy but from an intimate knowl-

Swallowed couple of weeks ago the
whine that would go up so soon

HERE is rather remarkable state
ment from reputable paper, the
Norfolk. Yirginian- Pilot: "Gener.
ally speaking, United States Sena-
tor has a great deal more patronage
to bestow than a governor" With
ont doubt this is slip; a thought
less declaration, and surely after he
saw it in print the editor would have
had it undone. The very opposite is
true. A senator has practically no
patronage to bestow, except to give
out job as private secretary to him
self. He procures all the appropria-
tons, all the measures possible of
benefit to his State, and if her citizens
are entitled to any jobs at the capital,
he,with the other eleven members, tries
to get friendsin. But Virginia's quota
has long been overdrawn and these
petty little plums-out of the State
and where they cannot possibly pro-
duce retul ns-hsve not fallen to the
lot of Virginia members for some
time. On the other hand, the Gov
ernor of Virginia has hundreds of
offices and honors to confer and the
benefcieries of his pie-c counter num-
Der into the thousands throughout
the Ssate-numerous Boards of Visi-
tors, Board of Fisheries aud other
active boards, his Staff of Colonies,
and above all his influence (Which
has hitherto been paramount) in the
appointments of more than a hundred
school superintendent. tits absurd
to seriously assert any such thing as
the Pilots editor has set up. There
is strong evidence that today Cover
nor Montague has used his office,
and relies upon results from favors,
to put him ito the U. S. Senate. In
Tidewater Virginia the oyster people
are in the hands of partisan in
spectors, whose heads are at the
mercy of partisan Board appointed
by Governor Montague. Thousands
of school teachers, with tens of thous-
ands of family connections, over
Swallowed by more than a thousand
trustees, are in the clutches of more
than hundred superintendent par
tisanly appointed four years ago by
the influence of an Attorney General
.-grasping for the Governorship-
and now hoping for reappointment
through the vote and influence of a
Governor who is reaching out for a
Senatorship. Ye shades of all justice !
was there ever such a political
machine welded by so export an
operator?

1T is noticeable that the list of
