Youth Lasts Long Enough
to Giue Game to Portland.
BY willian, j. slattery.

Mr. Van Haltren dug up a young
busher named Bloomfield out of some
jack rabbit league yesterday afternoon
and instructed him to wade in and
mystify the champions as an afternoon
diversion. Perhaps the young man mis-
understood his orders, or 1t may be
that he discovered a new way to strike
terror into the hearts of sturdy bats
men, but at all events the champs gath
cred six runs on one hit, after which
it was goodsevening for Mr.. Bloomfield.
The lad probably had stage fright in
the thirty-third degree, or else he
would never have done what he did.
First of all he loaded up the bases by
issuing two passes and swatting Nit
chell in the ribs. Then he continued to
walk men, hit others occasionally and
make wild pitches at short intervals
In order to vary the monotony. Four
Van Haltren yelled for help and gave
the young man the Office to run away
and hide.
Bill Reidy was trotted out with a
full house and but one gone. The first
man to face Bill got a hit. the only
one that happened while the Portland
ers were vending their way toward
aged to pitch himself out of this awful
hole with only two runs against him,
a very creditable performance
Strange to say, the game turned out
to be one of the smartest baseball af-
fairs of the season, barring that one
dreadful calamity in the first inning.
Both teams settled down and played
the game as they have not played it
for weeks. Brilliant plays passed un-
noticed. so frequently did they occur.
and each man was doing his duty all
the time.
Never again did Portland put man
past the finishing line. though they
banged Mr.. Reidy for nine more safe
ones. TIE fielding behind the Oakland
pitcher was worthy of note in any
mans league. Francks alone had
fourteen chances and he got away with
them all without falling down. Once
he ran away past third base and fin-
ished up by whipping the ball into a
double play and again he executed a
daring stop and winged the ball to
third in time to cut off run that
seemed destined to land.
Ifs" never go in ball game, but in
this case if Oakland had had Reidy in
the box from the start Portland prob

TRAINER WHIPPING
THE CARDINAL
INTO SHAPE.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 27-
The training table, at which the most
promising aspirants for the cardinal
Rugby football squad are being
whipped into shape under the careful
direction of Coach James F. flanagan
and Trainer Dad" Moulten. is now at
full swing and the results are notice.
able in the spirits of the men. But
two weeks remain in which to select
and train the fifteen which will meet
the best that the University of Caiiforr
MIA can produce.
At Stanford there is the utmost con-
fidence in the prospects of the varsity
on November 10, despite the claims OF
the college town up the bay. that the
blue and gold team is the fastest and
cleverest on the Pacific Coast.
flanagan has watched the play Of the
CaIifornians and is surprised at the
showing the proteges of Coach Taylor
have made He has declared openly at
Stanford that the cardinal men do not
put up the kind of game that the
Berkeleyites put up last Wednesday.
This Judgment of the boss OF athletics
is taken with a grain of salt by the
undergraduates, They believe Lana
gan is apt to be pessimistic in his esti-
nation of his own team and decidedly
the opposite in measuring the oppo-
nents of the cardinals.
The final outcome of the match is as
much in the air at the present time as
ever in spite of the fact that the teams
have played games with outside agEre-
cations. Until the result of the con-
test tomorrow between Stanford and
Pomona is learned the dope artists
will have little to say. California de-
feated the southern coliegians by a
small margin and 1t remains to be seen
what the cardinal will do. The team
that meets the Pomona aggregation to-
morrow is the best that the cardinal
can boast OF, although some of the men
who were left at home stand eligible
to make places for themselves in the
final lineup.
Tomorrow the Berkeley men will
again meet the cracks from Vancouver
on the blue and gold gridiron and the
result will be watched with Interest by
all cardinal players and reoters. The
game will be witnessed from the
bleachers tomorrow by experts from
Palo Alto and the most enthusiastic of
the fans journeyed northward tonight
In large numbers
The Improvement in the play of the
cardinal men lately has not been as
marked as at frst, as all of the first
principles of the game have been mas
tered and the fine points of the game
are now being absorbed by the players.
The personnel of the first team is a
matter of the greatest uncertainty.
Daily the line-up IL changed and the
men who appeared in the red jerseys

ably would have chased away without
a run and Oakland would have had the
game in record time, thus assuring a
nice fat house to see Portland perform
here for the last time this season,
But Manager Van Haltren. or who
ever had charge of the days proceed
ings, simply committed one of those
fool stunts often heard of on the dia-
mond and stuck in bush pitcher when
he had another experienced one ready
for work. Reidy asked as special
favor to be allowed to pitch against
Portland, but Van knew too much and
tossed the game away by trying out a
youngster without any experience In
league society.
The Commuters hit Califf pretty hard
all the time, gathering ten bingles of
his delivery. But the lead in the first
inning was too strong and they never
could overcome it. Kruger soused one
over Donahue's head in the first in
ming and by fast sprinting came all
the way around on the hit. Hackett's
two -bagger was the only other long
drive of the day. The score: +.

LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Story Of Postum Cereal in Words
and Pictures.

The growth of the Postum Cereal
Co. is like fairy tale, but it is true,
every word of it.
"The Door Unbolted" IS the title OF
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
lustrates, the story of this remark
able growth. 1t takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. l, 1895,
through the palatial offices and great
factory buildings of the white City"
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years
No less interesting is the quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general office building of Mr.. Post
and his associates is a reproduction OF
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms OF the
mansions of our multi-millionaires
than like offices.
That Mr. Post has believed thor
oughly in the idea of giving to his
employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by the
general office building of the Company
and it's furnishings, but by his fac
tories as well, and Of all of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. 1t will be sent
to anyone on request.

It Is doubtful if any royal consort Is
more loved by her people than Is the
empress Of Japan. Educated accord.
ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all
the accomplishments befitting one Of
her social eminence, her majesty
strongly favors the broadness Of the
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance Of womens
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia the empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been Of deep In
terest to medical and scientific men,
for the soldiers honored by them
seemed to rally under a peculiar men
tai influence. All other bandages were
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilized
and used again for the simple reason
of their effect on the recovery of the
soldiers.

Uses of Masks.

Among the North American Indians
the origin of the use Of masks lay"
says a writer, "in the desire to con.
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet IN combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether Of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew it would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose.
feelings were betrayed to the other"
