AGREES TO HOLD MEET
ON BERKELEY CAMPUS
Stanford Makes Concession to End
Bitter Track Dispute With Uni
versity of California

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March Is.
The track dispute which for time
threatened to disrupt intercollegiate
relations between Stanford and the
University of California was brought
to an end today when the executive
committee of the Associated Students
unanimously agreed to permit the hold
ing of the meet on the Berkeley cam
pus Accompanying the decision a
caustic set of resolutions was drawn
up to be submitted to the blue and
gold authorities.
Stanford, while withdrawing from this
fight in which she feels. that Justice
was on her side, is firm in the opinion
that California has at no time during
the dispute adopted a sportsmanlike
attitude, and the resolutions which will
be presented to the blue and gold ex-
ecutive committee declare as much.

WILMERDING ATHLETES
WIN BASKETBALL GAME
Defeat the Clever Young Players
From the California School of
Mechanical Arts

The Wilmerding athletes wound up
the local basketball schedule yesterday
by defeating the team from the Califor-
MIA School of Mechanical Arts. Score.
81 to 8.
The contest was not as one-sided as
the score Indicates. 1t was one of
those games where hard luck played
an important part. The Lick boys kept
the ball travelling around the rim of the
goal most Of the game. but try as they
would the ball would not go through.
The semiflnal games of the Academic
League will be played next Saturday.
Lowell High the winner on this side
of the bay, will meet either San Jose
or San Mateo, and Oakland High will
meet Santa Rosa. The winners will
play each other the following Saturday
for the championship of the Academic
Athletic League.

Field for Thornton Stakes

Long distance events monopoiize the
programme at Emeryville this after
noon. with the Thornton Stakes at
four miles as the piece de resistance
The classiest as well as the largest
field in the history Of this far-fameo
stake Will parade to the post. The

start. One of the eight, Jake Moose
is unlikely to go. as he pulled UP lame
after his final workout for the event
Yesterday. The field will therefore be
made up Of DR.. Leggo, Ramus, Mamie
Algol, Veterano, Miss Rillie, Graphite
and Los Angeleno, the last-named
horse having arrived from Ascot PARK
last evening.
DR.. Leggo will probably be the pub

tionably the class. His recent form is
excellent and shows him 20 be right
on edge AS he won a three-mile race
as a three -year-old, his ability to ego
the route is conceded. Ramus appears
to be the probable contender. he was
under restraint all the way in the
WaterhoGse Cup at two and quarter
miles, in which he scored an impressive
victory. IT may be set down that he
is ready and fit. Mamie Algol was
brought all the way from New Or

several creditable races at New Or

SAN FRANC|sCO's TEAM
ARRIVES FROM SOUTH
Local Ball Players Ready to
Meet Giants in New
Baseball Grounds
By w. j. SIattery

The best ball tossers that San
Francisco and New York can boast of
will meet this afternoon at the new
baseball grounds, Fifteenth and Va
lencia streets. A slight sprinkle of
rain will not prevent the important dia-
mond mixup, and unless the field is
transformed into a real, live lake, the
game will be played.
The San Francisco stars arrived last
night from Bakersfield, ready to meet
a team from any league Though the
boys have had only a couple of weeks
of practice they all looked fit. Man
ager Danny Long was there with the
smile and the hand for all inquiring
friends and assured them that the
gang of swatters and base stealers on
his payroll would outshine anything
that the city has known since the days
of the old Haverleys.
The New Workers are due early this
morning from Los Angeles on the Owl.
There was a rumor last night that their
train had missed a bridge while cross
ing a dangerous ravine and that Ma
thewson, McGinnity and several others
of the leading lights of the aggregation
met violent deaths. This 1urid tale,
however, proved untrue. though for
awhile it made the local nIRgnates
think of preparing for wake instead
of a ball game today.
1t is most likely that the great and
only Christy Mathewson will mount
the slab when the local stickers line
up against the Giants this afternoon.
He is considered the greatest pitcher
before the American public today. 1t
was due to his phenomenal work that
the Giants had such walkover in the
chase after the pennant two years ago.
Last year Mathewson was not himself,
but all those who have seen him in
action in the south say he is right once
more.
One hundred fires burned brightly on
the new diamond last night If heat
and flame can do anything toward alb
sorbing the loose moisture on the dia-
mond it is an assured fact that the field
will be ready for the stars when the
hour of rolls around this afternoon.
President Cal Ewing addressed a cir
cular letter to the managers of the va
rious clubs of the league yesterday,
giving them Instructions as to the du-
ties of the umpires and the players
while on the field. If there is any
possibility of preventing it, Nfwing will
have no rowdyism this season. He has
given each umpire power TO fine any
man outside of the captain of the team
who makes a kick. If the offense is
repeated the fine will be doubled. and
should the player persist he will be
baDished from the grounds and later
taxed for some more of his salary by
the league officials.
Ewing stated yesterday that any one
caught making a book or taking a bet
inside the park will be thrown out
bodily and without warning.
This season the players will be forced
to run on and off the field. For many
seasons past the fans have complained
about the slovenly manner in which the
players have acted while going to the
bat or taking their positions in the
field. But it will be different here
after Every man must show speed
between innings as well as when he
is chasing hot grounders or long flies,
or otherwise stand for a shortage in
the pay envelope.
The San Francisco call., 1907-03-16

would make him troublesome. Prin-
cess Titania has an outside chance, as
has Hector. Pontotoc, Martinmas and
Earl Rogers will probably find the
route too long. Silverskin looks to be
up against it.

Two WOnle en-.

A woman whose altogether unintelli-
gible and incoherent remarks branded
her Enthusiastically as proud parent,
was wheeling an exceedingly small
child Of perhaps 2 years next Thurs
day down Prospect avenue yesterday
afternoon In one of those upright baby
carriages, says Cleveland newspaper.
to this child in series of suppressed
shrieks and gurgles.
AS the woman continued to push the
small conveyance. down the street,
stopping ever and anon to ask the
child something, they approached an
other woman who was leading a French
poodle by small chain. The dog wore
cute little 5.A blanket and was
clipped to look as If the barber had
started on 1t and then thought of a
previous engagement
At the sight Of the dog the woman
with the baby fairly dubbed over with
ecstacy. 1t had Immediately struck
her that the sight Of the dog would at

thetic sense and that the baby would
derive a great deal of pleasure from
viewing the dog as it passed by. For
fear, however, that the baby would not
realize what was up the fond mother
sought to convey the information by
means Of a multiplicity of half inartic-
nlate gurgles and gesticulations that a
certain dog was about to pass. "See
the pretty doggle," was the only thing
she said In English, but her remarks
were along that line. In the meantime
the woman with the dog had come up
to them and the mother heard someone
saying, "See the coot little baby. Just
ook at the little baby" The mother
turned from the baby to look at the
dog, and then her expression changed
to one of polite scorn.
The other woman had the dog in her
arms and was showing the baby to it.

Buying Remnants.

Do not be persuaded into buying a
remnant that is too short in length for
the contemplated gown, unless you are
certain you can combine with it some
thing you have or can buy at a price
that win permit the gown to remain a
bargain.
1t is in waist lengths and remnants
that may be utilized for children's
dresses that the greatest opportunities
offer, and here even half-yard lengths
of plaids and bright colors may be util-
lied for pipings and bands to brighten
dress of plain color.
Short lengths of lace and embroid-
cry are valuable for yokes and inserts,
the fashion of combining two or more
kinds of lace in one gown making it
possible to employ odd bits.
