-Four Records Mark
Great Field Day
Stanton and II. Brown Are
Heroes of Annual Meet at
Stanford
BY r a. Sr1yth
University OF California. ...... IS 3-5
Stanford University. ....... 53 2-5

The blue and gold Of the University
of California waved in triumph at STAN
ford University yesterday when the
brown limbed athletes of the institu-
ton across the bay carried of the hon
ors in the fifteenth annual field day
of the rival colleges.
Success came only after the athletes
is attested by the fact that four new
records were established during the
fierce competition. In the 220 yard
hurdles Johns of California and Horton
of Stanford finished abreast at the tape
and their names will be bracketed for
the new record, as were the names Of
Cheek and Powell, joint holders Of the
former record. The quarter mile. held
for many years by Drum. fell to Cap
tain Stanton Of California, the half
to Bradford. another representative of
the cardinal.
Each field day seems to develop it's
hero and yesterday proved to be no ex-
ception to the rule. Two men stood
out above their fellows and as they
represented different universities their
adherents could give free rein to their
adulation.
Stanton won the classic hundred yard
dash and the equally classic quarter
mile and finished third IN the "22o.''
LOWERS HALF MILE MARK
Brown won the half mile. and, for
the first time in an intercollegiate meet,
placed the time for the race below the
two minute mark. All this was enough
to endear him to his fellow students,
but his work in the relay race stamped
him as one of the greatest runners ever
developed at Stanford. He ran the
third relay and started FIVE yards be-
hind the University OF California man.
Running with great gameness and de-
termination, he caught his man quickly,
and. amid the shouts of the cardinal
supporters, gained steadily until at the
end of his relay he had given the last
yards The average time for each quar-
ter mile of the race was 81 4-5 Sec
onds. and it was estimated that Brown
covered his lap in about SO 3-5 seconds
The Stanford athletes have followed
one sensational performance with an
other this spring and 1t was the opinion
of some experts that they had been too
highly tried in this respect and also
against the watch. which has spoiled
more prominent athletes than any other
agency. This contention seemed borne
out by the performances OF some of
the men yesterday. as they did not run
up to their best form. In addition,
John O. Miller was out OF the running
from an injury received at an un-
Important meet recently. 1t was a
disappointment to Miller's friends that
he could not compete. as he graduates
this year and will have no further

the fastest games of base ball seen here
since the opening of the Coast league

game belonged to either side up to the
final inning. Sacramento succeeded in
making hits at the opportune time
while the visitors seemed unable to

TROUBLE FOR MIR. CLAYTON.

A few Weakened Prohibitionists
are said to be advocating reprehenst.
BILE course in the city campaign, max.
ing the suggestion that their candidate
for mayor, Mr. U. A. Clayton, remain
on the ticket, but that Prohibitionists
knife him and vote for Capt. Nicely,
the Democratic candidate. This
course Is resented by true Prohibition
lists, who are always Interested in their
party's welfare and not in the success
of particular candidates on either the
Republican or Democratic tickets. II
| the Prohibitionists wanted to vote for
the Democratic nominee. why didn't
they participate in the Democratic con.
vention? 1t would not speak very well
for Mr.. Mills, State organizer OF the
Prohibition party, and who will bring
/ noted temperance speaker here in
a few days, to have the Prohibition
candidate fall below the party vote in
the FaIrmont city election. In fact,
Mr.. Mills is a strict party man and we
do not believe he will allow Mr.. Clay
ton to be slaughtered by his friends
in that way, If he can help it. The
Democratic candidate stands pledged
for license or against It, just as the
people decide. so 1t would be more like
it for the Temperance Democrats to
vote for Mr.. Clayton than for Prohi-
bitionists to vote for man that's
"half and half" on the question of IL
cense. It is said to be unwise to at
tempt to carry water" on both shout
ders, but it isn't at all certain that
the Democratic candidate wouldn't
carry some other kind of liquid If he
thought It was the popular thing. At
least that is the inference from the
resolution said to have been adopted
lily the Democratic convention. At
any rate, as we see It, Mr.. Clayton is
likely to get more Democratic votes
than Captain Nicely will draw Prohi-
.bition votes by his "straddle" on the
license question.
