COLLEGE MEN EXPECT
RECORD MEETING
CORNELL CREW MAY RACE IN
REGATTA
Eleven Schools Now Entered for
Event to BE Held at
Philadelphia
May 20
Rv Assnniafed presa.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 4.-Although there
are now eleven distinct college crews
entered for the American Rowing asso-
citation regatta at Philadelphia May %
a number which breaks all previous
collegiate records, the board of stew
ards is making a special effort to in
crease this by securing the entry OF
Cornell.
The crews of which the stewards are
sure are Harvard, two; Yale. two;
University of Pennsylvania, four; Co
lumbia, one; Georgetown, one; and
New York university, one.
There is only one drawback to the
entry of Cornell. That college is pro-
noting a regatta of her own at Ithaca
one of the features of which is to be d
dual race beween the Junior eights OF
Cornell and Pennsylvania. But the
stewards think that If Pennsylvania
can enter a crew in the American
Rowing association regatta and ther
send an eight to Ithaca a week later,
Cornell can do likewise.
The stewards have been virtually as
sured that they will receive the entry
of st. Johns military acadamy of Del
afield, Wis, for the interscholastiC
race. The entry of this crew will make
six school crews in the race, twice as
many as ever before entered.
The stewards have not been able tc
make out list of the club entries be-
cause these crews always get later
start than the college men. There is
no doubt, however, that New York
Baltimore, Brooklyn, Washington ano
Boston will have a good representation

HIGHLANDER AND QUAKER
MINES WILL PLAY TODAY
Students Anticipate Fast Game-Both
Teams Eager to Win-Contest to
Be Decided on Occidental
Campus

The Occidental ball team will meet
the team from Whittier college this aft
ernoon at o'clock on the Occidental
campus.
The Quakers won the first game
played at Whittier by score of to 2,
and this one promises to be very close.
Occidental suffered by the loss of some
of her best men in the first game, and
could not show up to best advantage.
However, the Presbyterians realize
the strength of the sagebrushers and
are working hard to be in the best pos
sible condition.
Patterson, the big south paw. will
probably be on slab duty for the High
landers, while Short will send over the
twisters for Whittier. Should the
Quakers find Pat" too frequently
Thacker will be put in. Thacker has
been doing remarkable work so far
this year, having pitched no-hit games
against Ventura and Pasadena high
schools, striking out sixteen men In
the first and fifteen in the second. He
also pitched the last four innings
against Polytechnic high last week
and struck out seven and did not allow
them a hit, making thirteen innings
straight without any one finding him
safely. The lineup:

QUEER EXPERIENCE
OF AMATEUR ANGLER
FROG JUMPS FROM WATER TO
SAFETY
Fisherman Discovers Bait with Hook
in Its Mouth Sitting on Log.
Causes Friends Much
Merriment

One of the most interesting parties
which opened the fishing season on
the San Gabriel was the one in which
Joseph Welsh, president of the Pasa-
dena Hardware company, participated.
The story is told by his friends how
the rest of the party used handsome
flies for bait and began to land trout
by the dozen. But somehow luck did
not favor the Pasadenan, who finally
tried some small frogs which were
hopping near him on the bank. He
thought these would make most ex-
cellent bait. And yet he had no bet
ter luck, the cork f1oater not bobbing
an instant, although he waited patient
ly on a log overhanging the stream.
Meanwhile his friends were surpass-
ing his record with their numerous
catches
AS luck would have it, just as he
was sitting there for the second half
of a weary hour so II Is told by his
friends one of them of more tender
mood asked him who was his friend
sitting on the log beside him.
The Pasadena angler turned and
discovered the reason of his failure to
make any catches.
The little frog attached to the hook
on the end of the line, instead of
swimming around the water under the
cork float, had come out of the water
and sat on the log beside the fisher
man. the hook sticking out of the small
animals mouth like a pipe.
Pasadena's representative took the
joke good -naturedly and resumed his
fishing under more favorable condi-
tions.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-Property
and merchandise to the value OF $200,-
600 were destroyed tonight by fire
which started at 10 o'clock from chim-
ney in the kitchen of the Mentone res
taurant on Geary street, and destroyed
nearly all of the one-story wooden
buildings in the block bounded by Mar
ket. Geary, Kearny and Grant streets.
During the progress of the fire an
employe of the Union Transfer COM
pany, whose identity is yet In doubt.
attempted to enter the establishment
which faced on Grant avenue, and was
overcome by the smoke. He was taken
to the hospital and is in serious con-
dition.
The heaviest loser is the s. N. Wood
Clothing company, which had a branch
store in the block facing on Market
street. The large stock was badly dam
aged entailing a loss estimated at
s5O, 900. Other losses are: Bahr Drug
company. Union Transfer company,
Richard Valentine, tailor, Market Street
restaurant, Speck Paschel company
real estate; Waterman Fountain Pen
company, J. j. Gildea Clothing COM
pany, United Cigars company, Royal
Shoe company, T. Lundy, jeweler; G..

nishing goods and several real estate
offices.
The buildings, which were erected for
the most part on the c. H. Blythe es-
tate property after the big fire in 1906,
were of small value.
The loss will fall heaviest on those
who had the stocks in the temporary
structures.

lard parlors and is well known to the
local knights of the cue.
Jacob Spitz of Paterson, N. J., prob
