POLO TEAMS PLAY
A TIE GAME ON
CLARK'S FIELD

Charles w. Clarks private polo field
at San Mateo was gay with life and
color yesterday on the occasion OF the
second polo game of the season. The
play was not up to the standard of
the Thanksgiving day game. but it was
enlivened by some thrilling incidents.
Parsons, who was a member of the
Reds, played with so much spirit that
he was unseated twice. He was not
injured on either occasion, but the
fair spectators on the side lines gave
little involuntary cries each time he
went down. Walter Hobart was hit
by the ball twice, but he went on with
the play gamely each time. On the
first occasion he was hit on the
knuckles, and The blow could be heard
across the field. Early in the third
period he was hit glancing blow over
the eye.
The play was rather ragged in the
early periods of the game, but it i'm
proved toward the end, when some
spirited polo was seen. Although five
full periods were played, the score at
two goals. Carolan saved the Reds
from defeat early in the last period
by scoring from a difficult angle. He
was complimented by both players
and spectators on the play.
The teams lined up in the following
order:
Reds. Whites.
Cyril Tobin. ...........T. A Driscoll
F. J. Carolan. Il; u Ienin

The game opened with rush. the
Whites passing the ball down the field
al n m
drove it between the posts for the
first goal. Walter Hobart evened the
score in the second period just before
time was called. Earlier in the period
he sent the ball in direct line for
the goal, but its progress was stopped
when it hit pony.
Neither side scored in the third
period, although Walter Hobart and
T. A. Driscoll each nearly scored, the
former from a difficult angle from the
side of the field. Driscoll put the
Whites in the lead in tie fourth period
by nursing the ball nearly the length
of the field. Later on he and CsIolan
hooked up in race half way across
the field, the struggle ending with
honors even.
The fastest polo of the day was
seen in the closing period when the
PLAYERS seemed to warm up to their
work in earnest. Carolan evened the
score early in the period. and with
six more minutes of play the Whites
tried to make the winning point. There
was some sharp galloping in the dusk.
but to no avail. neither side being
able to score again.
The game was witnessed by q large
gallery, the majority of the spectators
going to the field in their automobiles.
These were parked along the northerly
side line and made brave showing.
The weather was ideal for outdoor
sports.

CONEY GIVES BOYS
A WALK TO THE :
OCEAN BEACH

The members OF the San Francisco
Boys Athletic League were given a
walk to the ocean beach yesterday and
back to the Stadium. The weather was
ideal for the trip. AL Coney acted as
leader, with Walter Christie and Frank
Foster as lieutenants. More than five
hundred boys held to the pace set by
Coney.
After short rest on the beach
Trainer Christie put the boys through
the hop. step and jump exercise, broad
jumping and short dashes.
The boys will besgiven another series
of games next Sunday. Some of the
older members will be put over the
hurdles and will also try putting the

The card for today is less attractive
from a class standpoint than on any
day since the opening Of the season
All six races are selling affairs, for
which inferior fields have been entered.
The opener at FIVE and half furlongs,
is for maidens, and there is little
line on the form of the twelve that
have been named to go. From a work
standpoint Black Sam and Captain
Burn EFT look best, in the order named.
Black Sam is brother of the speedy
Sad Sam. and this is his initial start.
Nina Gibson, one of the Yeager string,
ran a smart race a Buffalo last sum-
mer, finishing second in good time. but
showed nothing, her only start here,
although the apprentice boy who rode
her went to sleep at the post and had
her practically left With a better boy
up she might perform differently.
The second will be a five and a half
furlong affair for -year-olds.
Marion Rose, Peerless Lass, Banlada
Mabel Hollander, Triumphant and
Plausible all look to have a chance.
Marion Rose ran a good race her first
out, but was in close quarters last
time and fourth was the best she
could do. She looks a bit the best
and should win with fair racing luck.
If the little boy z. Dugan gets Peerless
Lass off well she will be the con-
poor races, but is expected to show
Improvement today. Mabel Hollander
had speed on Saturday, but stopped,
and may have been in need of the race.
She is a high filly, and Harry
Slower expects to win the California
Oaks with her.
In the third race, over the Futurity
course, it looks like a close fit be-
tween Distributor. Little Buttercup
and Titus IL Distributor ran a smart
race a few days ago for first out,
and may be able to stay in front all
the way today. Little Buttercup ran
numerous good races at Seattle, as did
Titus. Marie H must also be given a
chance on her best form.
Silver Sue looks the best of the
twelve entered for the fourth at six
and a half furlongs. She ran a nose
second to Fred Bent her last out. Com
ilfo is the contender. Rosearo figures
close up. Lord Nelson, whose form
was good last year, is high in flesh,
and is thought to be hardly ready yet.
If Orehan is handled better than he
has been in his last three starts he
should win the fifth. Ralph Young
and Byronerdale look to be close con-
tenders.
In the sixth Benvolio should win
easily if FIannery does not repeat his
poor handling of this good horse. In
his, last race Flannery had him under
wraps all the way to the stretch and
then swerved him in behind the lead
ers in the drive to the wire. Governor
Davis figures close with Lazell for the
place. The latter has run second in
all five of his starts here. Hunter will
ride him again today, while Brussell
will probably have the mount on

The automobilists were out in force
in Golden Gate Park yesterday. The
day was an ideal one for motoring and
there was a procession of autos from
Stanyan street to the beach on the
south drive. 1t was pleasing TO OBJ
serve that there was desire on the
part of the drivers to travel at a speed
that would not brighten the pedestrians
who, at times, had to cross the road.
Only one case of speeding was
noted. A racing automobile whizzed
along the drive at a rate of fully
thirty miles an hour It was impos-
sible to distinguish who was in the
automobile, which bore the State num-
Der 1854. The State register shows
that this number had been given to E.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York September 21.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
Unseasonably high temperature in some
sections of the country retarded the dis
tribution of fall goods, but with the as
sistance of special sales reduced stocks
of summer merchandise to most sal It's
factory position High rates for money
have delayed mercantile collections some
what, and there is still complaint regard
ing the scarcity of labor, but confidence
In the future remains mistaken. Prepa-
rations for winter and spring keeps ma
chinery well employed
Large crops are being SECURED, and
building operations are very heavy. The
volume of domestic trade is beyond all
records, and foreign commerce exhibits
some striking comparisons Total mer-
chandise exports in America were valued
at about So. 600, 600 more than the same
month in the previous year, and import
rose $40. 1000 above the record for Au-
gust. Traffic blockades are frequent de-
spite increased facilities that made pos
| sibe a gain of Ill per cent in railway
earnings on September 3.
| Textile conditions have not materially
altered, the mills operating a large per-
| centage of machinery without having
much new forward business.
| Footwear jobbers have not been operat-
| ing in case lots for spring delivery during
the past week. which made trade some
what more quiet, but eastern wholesalers
are placing duplicate orders for fall goods
| maintaining a strong market.
Commercial failures this week In the
United States as reported by r. G. Dun
& Co. are 200, against TIA last week and
2O6 the corresponding week last year.
| Failures In Canada numbered against
| 26 last week and "a last year.

SLIGHT REACTION
FROM HIGH TENSION
Retail Trade is Rather Slow
to Open Up
PIG IRON is STILL HIGH
Orders Are Being Awarded for Fin
lshed Lines and the Demand for

Insstent.
PIG IRON is STILL HIGH

New York. September a.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Wholesale and jobbing trade continues
active though something like natural
reaction from the high tension buying of
the past six weeks is noted. Manufactur-
ing industry is active as heretofore and
sold up conditions and backward deliveries
are almost universal. though shipments
on orders are very heavy. Retail trade
is rather slow to open up
Crop reports are rather more irregular,
in that while corn is now perceptibly out
of danger threshing returns are less heavy
than expected, pointing to a smaller yield
of bread wheat than earlier indicated.
The demand in the country for currency
is still very heavy and high rates are
looked for, despite heavy gold imports
until after October 1. Business failures
are down to the minimum, bank clearings
continue to expand and current gross
railway earnings exceed last year by
fully 10 per cent. Car shortage troubles
are complained of in many places. From
nearly all parts of the country COM
plants of labor scarcity come, the pinch
being greatest at present In the cotton
fields. Pig iron for prompt delivery COM
mands high figures In finished lines large
orders are being awarded and demand
for prompt shipment is insistent Crude
steel is scarcer than ever Business in
wire products is very good but some cut
ting is reported in Chicago. Coke IS
easier. Copper is higher, but tin is lower
There is visible a slow but rather steady
hardening of cereal values which may
have an important innue ice upon crop
movement.
Leather deM.nd has gain improy ed.
Hides are firm aud unchanged. The out
look in tobacco is very bullisn one. De-
mand is active and offerings OF Havana
leaf are eagerly taken at high prices
The Cuban trouble makes for npcer-
tainty as to the 1907 crop. Domestic ad-
vices are rather less favorable than
earlier

WILEY WILL LAND
ON TOP AFTER ALL
MANY MANUFACTURERS DISLIKE
TO HAVE HIM TO ENFORCE THE
PURE FOOD LAW, BUT HE is
COMING TO THE FRONT.

Washington, September 21.-(Special) -
Efforts which were made in Congress last
winter to eliminate DIR. Harvey w. Wiley
from the business of enforcing the pure
food law have turned out a failure DR..
Wiley Is evidently going to dominate the
enforcement of law and the guarantee
without much regard to the provisions of
law is sufficient to grieve deeply the
average manufacturer who expects TO
come into conflict with the letter and
spirit of the statute.
DR. Wiley is the original pure food
enthusiast. He worked and fought year
after year, and in the face of all discour-
agement at last saw law passed Sec
rotary Wilson believes in Or. Wiley and
as evidence of that has sent him as rep
resentative of the agricultural depart
ment to she conference which is this week
in session in New York to prepare regula-
lions for the administration of the law
Dr. Wiley has been made chairman of the
conference and apparently is to have a
great deal to do with enforcing the law

viii Build New Warehouse.

Huntsville, September 21.-(Special "A.
M Booth has taken a contract to build
two additional warehouses and a big cot
ton shed for the Farmers Warehouse
company, the whole to cost $500
The new warehouses will give the COM
pany a storage capacity of 1900 bales eff
cotton, more than half the crop of Madi-
son county. The farmers warehouse has
been financial success from the start
which was less than a year ago The
company has provided the planters with
convenient and safe place for the stor-
age of cotton when they do not wish to
sell and has proven to be a money-maker
for the shareholders. The directors have
elected l.. w. McCravey manager of the
warehouse for the ensuing year.
