Auction of Seats for
Benefit Postponed
Bob Smyfh Memorial Conn
n7fffee VIII Hold Sale at the
Baseball Park Sunday

In Acknowledgement of popular de-
mand and also because many persons
mistook the place Of the sale, the Bob
Smyth memorial committee decided to
postpone the auction sale of reserved
seats and boxes for the big theatrical
benefit until Sunday afternoon at the
baseball park. Fifteenth and Valencia
streets. Manager Jack Gleason has
kindly volunteered TO help the commit
tee out and the prospects for a record
breaking auction are brighter now than
ever.
Throughout yesterday afternoon and
early in the evening the committee re-
ceiyed many communications from
prominent persons asking that the sale
be postponed. Those in charge. hay
ing made all the arrangements for the
sale a the Colonial last night did not
IKE to change their program at the
eleventh hour, but on account of the
Archbishop Riordan celebration many
or Smyths intimate friends could not
be present so 1t was found necessary
10 announce a postponement.
Auctioneer Larry Harris was very
anxious to go on with the sale last
advisable to put it off for the reason
that hundreds of Smyths friends who
could not be present might feel some
what slighted if the sale went on with
ward with their bids.
If the weather is propitious on Sun
day the sale at the bail grounds will
prove a great success. Hundreds of
the men who knew Bob so we'll in
life want to take in the games every
Sunday
One of the first to appear on the
scene last night was G. William kolb.
the comedian. When he learned that
the sale had been declared off, he felt
disappointed. but in order TO ease his
feelings he pulled out a $50 note and
handing 1t to Manager Hastings said
Here is the coin for that gallery
seat. If I wait until Sunday | am
afraid that somebody else will beat me
to it. Now I'm sure that ! will land
Judge Cabaniss also bid likewise for
another gallery perch on the same plea.
In the meantime, the committee has
been meeting with great success about
town. Everybody who knew Bob"
Smyth is doing his and her share to
help, the good cause along. The sale
of the ordinary tickets has been eX-
ceptionally heavy and it is safe to pre-
dict that the entire house will be sold
out long before the appointed hour
when the big show opens at the Prin-
cess theater on next Thursday after
noon.

Naming of Referee the
Next Job on Card
Fighters viii Meet Tomorrow
Night TO Select Third Man
in the Ring

Now that he has a couple OF matches
for this month. Promoter Charles Ler-
carl is getting ready to cast about for
suitable man or a couple of suitable
men, If necessary, to referee them.

the matter of referee was farthest
from Lercari's mind. but he has at last
awakened to the situation, and last

select their man or men.
Lercari says that he will not stand
for any rough stuff regarding the third
man in the ring. He wants that off,
clal selected quickly and without any
squabbling- If 1t comes to a show
down, the promoter is going to shove
the lighters aside and name the referee
himself. He says that he has gone as
far as he intends to and will do some
talking from now on.
1t is expected that the selection of a
judge or judges for the bouts will be

necessary to engage the services of a
Heteree. 1t is likely that either Jack

ways refused to ofhciate at more than
one fight in any single night, and It

switch his policy for couple Of bush

Lercari is anxious to see plenty of
hghting in the first mill that is being
held under his auspices. He is praying
for plenty of knockdowns and a final
knockout in each contest. and, like the
rest of US, he hopes that the referee

Cardinal Freshmen
Team Is Announced
Heavy, Well Balanced Fifteen
viii Fight for Stanford
University

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct 10
Late this evening the coaches picked
the Is men who will meet the blue and
gold on Saturday afternoon in the fif-
teenth annual freshmen intercollegiate
struggle. No surprises have been caused
by the announcement, as the men Sc
lected are those who have been show
ing the most consistent work during
the last few days.
The team as il will appear is one of
the heaviest and best balanced that
has ever represented the cardinal The
men have not learned all the tricks
of Rugby, but they possess big possi-
bilities and should spring a surprise
upon their rivals from across the bay.
Edward Burke Corbet of San Fran
cisco will be in the front rank He
weighs 10 pounds. Carl c. CrandaIl OF
Los Angeles will be the teammate of
Corbet He weighs the same, and the
TWO make strong combination. At
lock is Carl L. Schaupp of the Santa
Rosa high school. He is one of the
heaviest men on the team and tips the
beam at l77 pounds. The side ranks
are Joshua w. Doran of Corona and
Herbert l. Hubbard of Redlands. Hub
bard has been a fixture from the start.
He learned the rudiments of Rugby
during his days on the Redlands high
team.
The rear rank men are George Leigh
Rodgers of San Francisco and Alfred
I. King of San Luis Obispo Rodgers
is graduate of the California School
of Mechanical Arts of San Francisco
and is well known about the bay as a
player of the old game. He captained
the Lick team last year and as a punter
is exceptionally clever. He will prob
ably do the goal kicking Saturday.
John A. Macready of Los Angeles is
clever wing forward. He weighs
only 134 pounds. Captain Benjamin +.
Erb of British Columbia will be serum
half. Erb is the mainstay of the team
and will be depended upon to a great
extent to win the match.
The five-eighths men are Clyde c.
Whitney of Santa Anna and Thomas
Sanborn of Redlands.
August Sanborn, the brother of the
five-eighths man, will be at center. He
is also a back of exceptional ability
The wings are Lewis r. Kennedy of
Orange and Alfred Sundeu of Alameda.
These two backs are fast and reliable
and If given the ball should prove hard
to stop. Sunden played last year upon
ley and formerly attended Alameda
high school
z. T. Brown of the Harvard school
OF Los Angeles has been the only can
didate for fullback from the start. He
is cool tackler and during the season
has booted the ball consistently for
long gains.

ond to Erb at half; P. Y. Dickinson of
