Rv Assoclated Pres.

BY Associated Press.
BERKELEY, Sept. 30.-Athletes from
the Oakland high school outdistanced
their competitors on track and field to-
day, winning the twelfth semi-annual
bay county meet with AZ points. All

The players of the southern city
proved no match for the wearers Of the

repeatedly that slight injuries to their
players might be attended to. AS the
game progressed the visitors made a
better showing. Berkeley did not resort
to tricky tactics but played straight
football.
California made three touchdowns
during the first half and made II points,
Right End Elliot kicking two goals but
failing on a difficult third.
The winners made their fourth touch
down after four minutes play in the
second half. Taylor kicked a goal,
making the score 23 to in favor Of

HEMPEL IN HOPEFUL MOOD
Coach Of Sherman Indian Team Says
Victory Over University Would
Not Be Surprising

Walter Hempel, coach Of the Sherman
Indian football team, was in Los An
geles yesterday and, although somewhat
reticent as 10 ,lsa what + the % outlook Is for
pear to be worrying much about the out
come.
A telegram was received from Neaphus
on Friday evening stating that he would
leave for the south by the end of the
week I'VE will be playing Berkeley
without much practice" said Hempe, in
speaking of the approaching game with
the northerners, land our full strength
cannot be shown until the November
schedule is on"
Judging from the st. Yincent's-S Stan
ford Berkeley games the Indians should
give the university teams a close run
providing they are anything like last
years form, and victory over both
would not DO surprising.

Words of Wisdom

Posterity never cherishes more of a
mans work than can be packed in small
compass.
When alone we have our thoughts to
watch; in the family our temper; in
society our tongue.
Those who find revenge sweet to the
taste usually suffer later from moral
indigestion.
Don't sit down and wait for fortune
to come to you; get out and show that
you are worth coming to.
IT can't do it, never did anything. "Pll
try has worked wonders, and II will
do it, has performed miracles.
The true nature of Christian sympathy
is not only to be concerned for our friends
in trouble, but to do what we can ia
help them.
If you wish success in life make perse-
verance your bosom friend, experience
your wise counselor. caution your elder
brother and hope your guardian genius.

FIGHTERS TRAIN
At THE SEASIDE
OBJECT TO USING PAVILION
QUARTERS
Sullivan and Burns ArrIVe-Latter
Will Prepare to Fight at North
Beach, Erwin" Going
Elsewhere

Tommy Burns and Mike Twin" Sui
livan arrived in the city yesterday and
will commence training Immediately for
their fight October II.
Burns will train at the Santa Monica
North Beach bath house, working out
with Warren zubrick, who disposed of
Frank Fields in preliminary to the
Fitzgerald fight some weeks
ago.
Sullivan, who intended training in the
pavilion on North Main street, baked
at the quarters and will endeavor to
secure a place at one of the beaches,
where the daily plunge adds zest to
the routine of preparation.
The men will probably meet at 15s
pounds, and Burns, who appears to be
many pounds overweight, says that he
will have no trouble in ridding himself
of the superfous flesh.
Sullivan did light sparring with Cor
man yesterday, and while he appears
to be in fair condition the effects of the
northern climate were apparent and
the Twin" was running with perspira-
ton after he had undergone a half
minutes action.
Since the twenty-round draw at Ia
coma in April both men have been doing
much fighting, and although the time
for training is slipping away the two
weeks remaining should round them
into perfect trim.
Sullivan has drawn with OBrien, and
as a little side work trimmed the aspirn-
tions of several good men in the Klon-
dixie region.
Burns received the decision over
Barry at Tacoma in May and finished
it, up with a knockout in Frisco last
week After his draw with Hugo Kelley
at Detroit the men fought a ten-round
draw in Los Angeles during July.
Joe Angel will take on Cordell with
out an hour put in at boxing and is
depending entirely upon the machines
and shadow work.
Rube Practices Wrestling
"Rube" Jeffries was participating in
what appeared to be a wrestling match
yesterday, with a view of stalling the
tactics of the willy matt man, Bell.
Much interest is manifested in Jeffries,
as in his amateur bouts the lanky boy
showed liking for putting them away
in short order.
Walsh was taking things easier yes
terday, and after his bag punching
stunt did not indulge in the usual set-to
with his sparring partner
Two preliminary aspirants kept the
crowd on edge with visions of a knock
out during a wild mix-up that threat
ened the green fields for one or the
other before the bell brought things to
an end.
Monday afternoon will be ''prelim"
day, and Manager McCarey is consider
ing the idea of putting on a preliminary
to the Tuesday night battles should any
of the amateurs evince a desire to shine
before the audience that evening.
