WILMERDING'S BASEBALL }
TEAM WINS FROM LICK
Pitcher Bell Strikes Out Sixteen Op-
posing Batsmen, but Is
Weakly Supported

The baseball players OF the Wilmer
ding School of Industrial Arts caused a
surprise in academic circles on Friday
by defeating the team from the Cali
fornia School of Mechanical Arts. Score
to 2.
The game, which was the initial con-
test of the subleague schedule, took
place at the Ingleside refugee grounds
under unfavorable conditions. The
grounds were spongy, making 1t I'M
possible to start after hitting the ball
or to run bases, and biting wind
added to the discomfort.
Bell, the Tigers standby on the ,slab,
struck out sixteen OF the opposing
batsmen and only one hit was made off
his delivery. But Bell could not play
the whole game. Lick was woefully
weak at the bat and could touch Trow-
bridge for only two hits.
The teams lined up as follows:

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-In the
plans which have been approved by
the quartermaster general of the army,
and which contemplate the establish
ment at Fort Mason Of an extensive
army supply station to cost $500, 600,
advantage is taken OF the latest ap-
pliances for saving time and labor.
Every device for the quick handling
of supplies will be adopted and alto
gether the plant will be a model one.
It will be one of the important COM
mands of the army with it's six big
storehouses and It's huge piers, large
enough to accommodate four huge
army TRANSPORTS at one time. 1t is too
early to speculate on the officer who
will command the place when 1t is
ready, but IT will undoubtedly afford
an opportunity to assign to duty there
one of the general officers. Provision
is being made for quarters for twelve
officers, which fact indicates the i'm
portance of the station.

choice Of ! to on Firestone or TO

vond the means of the ordinary bettor.
wagering on the outcome of the con-
test virtually was confined TO the back
ing Of the other contestants for the
nlace. The withdrawal of Thomas CAL
houn and the adding of Wilmore re-
suited in field Of four contenders-
Firestone. Walter Miller, San Gil and
Wflmore. Walter Miller, anlintried Wa
torcress colt from the Hildreth stable,
drifted back from to s, in spite Of
reports OF sensationally fast work in
preparation for the stake. San Gil was
PLAYED down from 20 to 1S by the
stable connections. augmented by some
who remembered the victory of Boas,
from the same stable, in the Undine
stakes. Wilmore remained stationary
at about IS.
AWAY TO A GOOD BREAK
Starter Hoffman sent the quartet
away TO a good break. with hardly any
delav at the post Firestone went TO
The front at once, and won pretty much
as hts rider, Jockey Brown, pleased.
After picking himself up, after the
stumble previously alluded TO, he sailed
away from his field at a merry clip.
and the result was not thereafter in
doubt Walter Miller ran very green,
and after breaking with the winner
fell out OF 81 at once. Before Jockey
Koerner could get him going again he
was several lengths 10 the bad He
made up his lost ground gamely, how
ever, and although swerving badly In
the stretch, easily overlook and passed

showed that he was a colt that would
bear watching. San Gil outlasted VIII
more and was an easy third.
The race was worth $2450 TO the
winner. s4OO to the second horse, and
5000 10 the third.
Firestone's record is now four frsts
and one second out of five starts. He
is the biggest money winner Of the
season in the two-year-old division.
TALENT WINS THE BATTLE
Favorites won three of the six races,
form being closely observed despite the
sloppy condition Of the course. The
attendance, while large, was not up to
the normal figure for a stake date,
probably on account of the inclemency
