broken, the opinion OF the delegates TO

rather more hopeful that some solution
is possible. This is dua largely to the
German attitude that an adjustment
eventually will be reached. The
American delegates also continue con-
tident, despite the French and British
pessimism. Some OF the delegates ex.
press the view that some conciliatory
movement will be made directly from
Berlin.

'S1ANFORD'S 1OSSERS HUMBLE
Blue And GOLD RIVALS.
Presley Dashes Across the Plate
With Lone Run of Game.
BERKELEY WEAK WITH STICK

The Stanford baseball nine, under the
generalship of Coach James flanagan,
raised the "hoodoo" of several years
standing at Palo Alto yesterday when
they outplayed the tossers from the
University of California in a to 0
game on the campus diamond. 1t was
Stanfords day from start to finish, and
only the gritty fielding on the part OF
the blue and gold men kept down the
cardinal score. Stanford adherents
expected their team to defeat Berkeley
and the result was not a surprise.
The fireworks started in the third,
which proved fatal inning. When
Stanford came to bat in the last of this
inning no one had crossed the rubber.
Presley, the first man up. hit the ball
on the nose for a clean drive TO right
field. Sales next put the wood on
Vests delivery for safe wallop to the
central garden, advancing Presley one
station. Bell took a look at the ball
and laid down scratch bingle, which
was played safe all around, completely
filling the sacks.

unguarded and crossed the rubber be-
fore the ball could be put on him.
Both teams were about evenly bal
anced when it came to fielding, with
perhaps shade of advantage in favor
of the cardinal in the matter of speed
and knowledge of the pastime. Stan
ford possessed the superior battery and
group of sIuggers. Sales. who twirled
and captained Stanford. held the Berke-

which permitted Cuenin to score.
The Lowell boys went into the game
