PASSING OF LEVY
MARKS END OF A
GREATPLAYER

"Rube" Levy, one of the most widely
known and popular men identified with
baseball on this coast, died in this city
yesterday after a brief illness. the inn
mediate cause of death being tumor
on the brain. Levy leaves widow. the
sister of Manager Mike Fisher.
Levy made his name on the baseball
diamond as left fielder for the old
time Haverlys. He was the hero of the
kindergarten out on the old Haight
street grounds and his every move was
watched intently by the youngsters
who witnessed the game from the VI
cinity of his station in the outfieid. He
was also member Of the San Fran
cisco team for a time.
He was member of the staff of UNI
pires of tho Pacific Coast Baseball
League during the seasons of 1903 and
1904 and was always a great fayorite
with the players on the various teams.
Whenever an exhibition game was ar
ranged for the benefit of a disabled
player, Levy was always among the
first to volunteer his services and he
was always sure of warm reception
as he trotted out upon the field. Since
the first of last April Levy had cigar
stand on Fillmore street, which was
rallying point for men who like to
discuss the national game and for the
ball players who have spent the winter
in the city. The dead player was 43
years of age.

BALL FIELD NOT FENCED

BERKELEY. Feb. S.-The novel ex-
pertinent of demanding money for adj
mission to the university baseball
games, and still allowing the field to
remain unfenced, is to be tried by the
executing committee of the Associated
Students. The fence is regarded as a
blemish on the landscape, and rather
than replace it the honesty of the un-
dergraduates w&l be relied upon to
provide the receipts from the games
that are needed to replenish the stu

ASCOT HANDICAP
TO BE CLASSY
FEATURE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LOS ANGELES, Feb S.-A six-fur-
long handicap, which was billed as the
feature; four selling races and one
purse race constituted the card at As
cot Park today and the races were run
before a crowd which was considera bly
larger than usual for an off day. If
there was anything in the days sport
which was worthy of being designated
as q feature, those who witnessed the
races failed to discover 1t. 1t was
on the whole Just an average days
races. in which the favorites annexed
most of the events and in which the
play was not up to the average, despite
the increased attendance.
Tomorrow one of the largest crowds
of the season is expected at the track,
the attraction being the Ascot Handf-
cap, the richest event of the meeting
1t is not as valuable as the famous
Burns Handicap, but 1t is of such in
terest to horsemen that the best horses
on the track will start. Anticipating
the attendance of large numbers of So
ciety people the infield will be thrown
open and the other side of the fence"
probably will be lined with automobiles
and fine carriages. In addition to its
being the richest stake Offering of the
season, the Ascot Handicap will bring
out the classiest field that ever faced
an Ascot barrier. The several horses
that will carry the hope OF the Ascot
horsemen are equal in class to the
horses shipped from Emeryville to win
the stake from the "home" horses, and
IL a fast track prevails the race will
be run in close to record time. 1t is
gratifying to know that the field will
be on a par with any that has raced
here this season.
Following are the starters, weights
and probable Jockeys:

Father Fallon, of KNOCK, in discuss
ing the change in the character Of the
people, declared that they were becom-
ing more practical and less sentimental
This he thought was due to the infiu-
ence of the large number Of American
emigrants who. returned and settled
down at home. There were as many
as 100 every summer who came homo
to his parish, he said, and many Of
them remained. Most of them were
girls and sons of them had saved as
much as $1,000 or $500, and with this
they had little difficulty in obtaining
husbands.
so take 1t the price Of husband
in County Mayo is up from $1,000 to
$780," said the chairman. "Yes; that
is about the quotation" said the priest
with smile. Father Fallon added that
very few male emigrants came back
and that few Of them sent money home.
Nearly all the money that is sent home
from America comes from the girls.

Reflection on Auntie's Manners.

She was a very pretty little girl, with
eyes Of blue and hair of gold, but she
didn't like soap and water very much
because 1t was wet. she said.
One day she went to tea with her
auntie. and her hands were just a
shade grubbier than usual. You see,
she had been trying to make marbles
from some asphalt that the roadnakers
had left over.
"Ehie," said her aunt, "how dirty
your hands are! What would you say if
auntie came to table with hands like
that?"
"oh," said the little lady Of the gold
on locks. I'D be too polite to say any,
thing about it,"
Then auntie changed the subject.

The Shannon flows by my fathers wall.
Idly I stood at the evenfall.

The mother-love is tireless in the vigil

To guard the couch from danger
