NEED NOT PAY BILL.
Party Sued Sets Up Multiplying Law
as Defense

New York. Feb. 15.-New York's
anti-tipping law was the defense in
an action to recover $3.50, for goods
sold, brought by dealer against
large dry goods house in New York
and decided yesterday. The court
held that the bill could not be col
lected. It was shown that the man
selling the goods made the purcha.s-
ing agent who bought them a present
of s75.
The court held that the firm sued
was not obliged to pay for the goods,
nor was it compelled to return them.
The law was passed at the instance of
merchants to break up the system,
which is said to have been more or
less prevalent, of dealers inducing
purchasing agents to buy goods by
brides.

Talk of Taking In Four

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

PORTLAND, Ore, May 10 Cal
Ewing and w. H. Berry are here to-
day in conference with Judge McCre-
die, who will accompany them on a
trip through the northwest. Talk of
an eight club coast league is being re-
vived and Ewing says he is quite will
ing to entertain the propositions from
Tacoma and Seattle to come in pro-
vided the directors approve it, but. he
thinks Spokane is too far away and
that the jumps would be too long
Spokane and Tacoma are willing to
come in, but Dugdale at Seattle is op-
posed to such action. However, if the
two other towns join the coasters Dug
dale will be overruled by Seattle. With
Sacramento and Long Beach in the
league next year it looks very much
like eight clubs in 1903.
Ewing says the coast league is TAX
ing in 25 per cent larger gate money
than ever before. He says the only
reason an enlargement of the league
will be considered is that the people
who attend the games will enjoy the
increased rivalry between six or eight
clubs.

Faculty and Alumni
in Ball Game

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 10.
The Stanford faculty and alumni base
ball mines crossed bats this afternoon
on the campus diamond, the faculty
by superior batting pulling out a vic
tory to the tune Of 11-10. The game
was decidedly of the hit and run va
riety and the fielding of both teams
was at times a bit faulty. President
Jordan, according to precedent. was
the first man at the bat and his single
started the men around the bases for
the faculty. Professor Whitaker was
in the box for the professors and proved
more effective than Adams for the
graduates. The feature of the contest
was the three base hit made by Cross
which brought three men across the
pan for the faculty. DR.. Frank Angel
who covered short stop for the home
team, fielded like a veteran and pulled
his team out of several tight situa-
tions. The lineup follows:

Men Who Can Sting +.
Sphere Safely
BY w. j. SIaffery

Mr.. Nagle of Los Angeles introduced
his spit ball to the Seals on the Oak
land lot yesterday afternoon and none
OF the boys was at all glad to meet it.
Thereby hangs the tale of the first de-
feat the Seals have suffered in the last
four games. 1t was a clean shutout
all along the route and San Francisco
did not even have chance for a peep
in at the plate. Neither hard luck, bad
fielding or anything of that sort figured
in the downfall of the home team.
Southpaw Sutor was fully the equal
OF Nagle except in the sixth inning.

only runs of the game. These were

inning than at any other time. He

laid down a nice bunt which Curtis
could not handle. Brashear tore a
single into right field and Melchoir
made his bad peg to third in an effort
to head off Wheeler who registered the
first run. Dillon went to second and a
moment later he and Brashear got
away with a double steal.
Williams and McArdle were the only
men who could sting the offerings of
Nagle safely, the latter grabbing off a
hit in the fifth and the big blonde first
baseman landing in the sixth. Most
every man on the team kept popping
up little flies all the afternoon, which
showed very plainly that Nagle had
something on everything he tossed to
them. The score:
