BY w. J. SIattery

The New York Giants did not have
a chance to match their prowess
against that of the Seals at the new
baseball park yesterday afternoon. Bad
weather and a field that was worse
prevented the mixup that had been
scheduled for weeks past. II was a
disappointment that the fans viii not

the magnates issued an ultamatum last
night asking all the faithful to forgive
them and promising that conditions on
the last day OF the month, when the
season is TO open. will be different

the Owl last night There. were not a
few disappointed ones among them as
they said farewell TO Market street,
Fillmore street, Van Ness avenue and
the other conspicuous thoroughfares
they had grown TO like during their
short stay here. The big leaguers had
hoped ardentiy for game OF ball, but
weather and hard luck were pitted
against them, so the best they could do
was 10 wander back TO Los Angeles and
take another fall out of the southern
stars.

yesterday that all business connected

have to await the arrival of those
which are on the road The congested
condition of freight traffic has serious

A scheme is under consideration to

THREE SCHOOLS MAY
WITHDRAW ATHLETES
Principals Object to Man
agement of Track Meet
at Stanford

1t Is just possible that the athletes
from the. California School of Mechan-
zeal Arts, the wilmerding school OF IN
dustriai Arts and the CogsweI Psly-
technic College, will not compete in the
big interscholastic field day at Stanford
next Saturday. Principal George A
Merrill OF Lick and Wilmerding holds
that too much freedom Is given the
boys in this meet, and his views are
shared by Principal Miller Of Cogswell
Athletes may compete in the Stanford
meet regardless of their standing in
school; school may enter as many
athletes as it likes and the individual
performer may compete in as many
events as he cares to. It was due to
the former privilege that the objection
was first raised
Last year the students of the Palo
Alto High School were prohibited from
playing the old intercollegiate game of
football because of the proximity Of
Stanford University. where the Rugby
gone was being given a trial The
Palo Altans disobeyed this rule and
were expelled Later they were rein
stated. but with the provision that they
stay out OF athletics altogether. When
the principal was approached regard
ing the meet next Saturday he refused
to give his permission. The runners
then wrote to the managing board of
the meet and asked II they could par
ticipate. by all means.' was the re-
ply. and as a consequence Palo Alto
High will be represented.
This disregard for older heads has
never been tolerated by Merrill of Lick.
He considers the semfannuai field day
of the Academic Athletic League a
well managed meet and unless some ac-
tion be taken in the Stanford matter
the Lick boys viii not be able to defend
their title TO the Bittner relay cup, and
will have to be satisfied with the aca-
1emfc meet

LOughlin and James evidently regarded
Gardner as the weak man Of his team,
for they put the ball TO him on every
occasion. Gardner, usually a poor

well throughout. Foley. when the bali
