HANDICAP RACES
ON THE CARD
Athletic Officials Make
a Popular Move to
Secure Entries.
Captain Snedigar VIII
Be Among the
Competitors.

The athletes who take part in the
field day at Golden Gate Park on July 4
will be well rewarded for their efforts
In addition TO the valuable silver cups
offered there will be three medals in
each event.
In order to bring the young athletes
together the Olympic Club will enter
tain them at luncheon at The Breakers,
on the ocean beach, on the Sunday be-
fore the Fourth. President William
Greer Harrison will head a delegation
of Olympians which will walk through
the park to the beach. En- route they
will pass the athletic field and pick up
the men who have been out training.
Frank G.. 0'Kane, who did more to
raise subscriptions for the building of
the athletic field than any other indi-
vidual, has been added TO the athletic
committee. He was one Of the fastest
runners on this coast some years since.
At his suggestion, the quaFter-mile
and mile races have been made handi-
cap events. This will appeal to large
number of athletes who figured they
had no chance in the scratch events.
This change is expected to bring out
large entry, condition greatly desired
by the committee in charge.
A haIf-mile walk has been added 10
the programme This will be open to
all, and entries will be received on the
grounds

AUTOIsTS HAVE
EXCITING RIDE
Walter Varney's Big Ma
chine Runs Away on
Priests Hill.
Axle Breaks on Rough
Road and Brings Car
to a Standstill.

Thomas H. B. varney. the automootle
enthusiast. had an experience during
the week that almost had disastrous
ending to himself and family They
were returning from the Yosemite
Valley in their big Pope-Toiedo ma
chine and everything went smoothly
until Priests Hill was reached. The
brake had been acting badly. but MP.
Varney and his son Walter. who was
running the machine, fixed IL, as they
thought. so as 10 make the descent
perfectly safe
There is about a 20 per cent grade TO
Priests Hill. and when the big machine
had travelled a few hundred feet the
brake failed to hold and the machine
commenced It's mad flight On a wind
ing road. with a precipice OF several
hundred feet on one side, the oceu-
pants Of the runaway machine had
about one chance in a thousand or es-
Gaping with their lives.
Each second the speed of the ma
chine increased and the young chauf-
feur had to call all his skill into play.
If he had lost his head a single instant
the occupants of the machine would all
have been dashed TO death. The Var
neys undoubtedly owe their lives TO
the roughness of the road. The axle
was broken on the rough road and,
dragging along the ground, II finally
brought the machine to a standstiu.
J. Charles Green, who made the trip
in his French machine. went to Mr..
Varneys assistance While it was a
most exciting ride and a novel expert
enee, III is one that possibly would not
end so fortunately again in many a
day Aside from this incident the trip
was successful eand a thoroughly en-
joyable one.

The Commuters took the second
baseball game of the series with the
Angels easily yesterday afternoon at
1dora Park, Oakland, by the score of

first baseman. followed up his work
OF the previous day and made good

two-bagger in the last of the fourth
With a lead of one run In their sec
tion of the first appearance at the
SLAB the Commuters kept well in the
lead OF the southerners all through
the fight In the first half of the third
the Angels came UP strongly with
three tallies, but when the Commuters
appeared at the slab in the latter half
Of the same inning they sprang into
the lead by slamming out six runs.
Six runs in one inning is going some
for the Oakland aggregation. They
haven't done that in many a long day.

Heitmuller. the college veteran. fol-
lowed with a good single into the CEN

Francks scored Heitmuller and Bliss.
Haley sacrificed, landing safely on
the initial sack, and the bases were
full for the third time in the inning.
Gates, the Oakland twirler, slammed
