Bets Declared Off Because Sharpers on
Inside Fail to Place Their Money
BY r. a. Sr1ytf1

The man they wanted is in disfavor
with the authorities and cou1d not ref
cree here He was named to referee
recently, but the club management was
given the tip that If he was allowed to
oihcfate no more permits would be
forthcoming He is looked upon osten-
sibly as a member of the new trust.
AtteIl is not friendly with Jack Welsh
or Eddie Smith. which eliminated them
The selection of Roche was thus in a
degree compulsory, but upon thinking
IL over ii did not satisfy the manipu-
lators- 1t was seen he could make a
grand stand play by declaring bets off
and making 1t a mo contest. affair.
GET FRIEND OF CANS
Alvie King then entered the affair.
He is friendly to Joe Cans and the
trust was trying at the time TO tie up
Cans for match. King was selected
to referee, but no word was sent Roche.
All went well until it was found those
betting they expected. Then The Call
intimated that it knew what was going
on behind the scenes and there had TO
be change in the plans, which also
included the change in weight
Although the public would not bet
on the fight 1t patronized it better than
it deserved. The affair shows the kind
of lighting the new trust is giving the
public and that the latter is not being
dealt with fairly. Attell tries to justi-
fy himself for the part he has played
so often recently by saying that he can
not be blamed for picking the easy
ones. This is true, but when he has
picked them he goes on and ties their
hands so there can be no risk He
then bets on the sure thing, while the
public is twice fooled-once in witness
ing prearranged affair and then In
betting on II. He will not be able
to lob any more over for some time.

High School Stars in
Fine FeffIe
More Than 200 athletes Strive
for Honors IN Stanford
Field Today

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. May L.
The Stanford cinder path will be the
scene tomorrow of one of the biggest
meets ever held in this state. or west
OF Chicago. when the 221 athletes as
semble for competition in the inter-
scholastic athletic association field day
are pitted against each other.
The campus tonight is fairly overrun
with the high school athletes, who own
everything In sight and the hum and
gossip of the chances of the 81 high
schools is on every lip. There is, per-
haps. as much interest evidenced among
the collegians as by the "preps-
Beginning early in the morning
heats and trials in the field events
will be started and continued until the
list of competitors has in de-
gree been thinned out Competi-
tion will probably be keen in the
and hurdles. The morning participa-
ton will rank with the ordinary high
school meets of the leagues about the
bay.
The rivalry between the schools of
the northern and southern ends of the
state is keen. For the past two years
the meet has been captured by. the
Oakland high school, largely through
the instrumentality of A Mum. who
HAS d0ddNcQ anu - III" O. ei-c oAAA-
versity of California. The lads OF Pasa-
dena and Los Angeles are here in full
force and state they will take back
to the sunny skies the handsome Stan
ford cup. The athletes from Ukiah
and Healdsburg and Chico are strong
and expect TO come in for winning
streak, while Berkeley high school.
Lick and Wilmerding and Lowell of
San Francisco have all entered good
teams.
Every indication points to general
smashing of high school records on the
fast Stanford track. In the hundred
yard dash Thorpe and Rubio. both Of
the south, are said to hold 10.1 rec
ords. which would make them formid-
able. In the 220 yard dash MacCauley
of Alameda and Thorpe will be
matched. and in the quarter mile a
battle royal will result with at least
six men who can run the man killer"
under So seconds.
In the mile 35 men will compete. In
the hurdles Pomona high school is said
to have some wonders. In the field
events, also the southerners have
broad jumpers and high jumpers who
should prove hard to down. From
Ukiah. Ruddick is expected to do
upon the individual cup offered by
Encina club and won twice by Mum.
The first heats will begin shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock and the main meet In
the afternoon at 2 O'Clock.

transportation there has been little or

Professor A. G. McAdie stated yester-

teorological conditions San Francisco
will in all. probability be bathed in sun
shine on the day the fleet steams
through the Golden gate.
The storm which IS now sweeping
over the state extends all along the
coast from Canada to Mexico and is
slowly travelling eastward. A fair
amount of rain has already fallen at
different points in California. and more
can be expected. San Francisco, how
ever, stands a chance OF seeing clear
weather before sunset today, as the
barometer is mounting toward normal
pressure again.
Up to,date the precipitation is less by
FIVE inches than the average for this
time of the year, so the storm will do
much good for the country although
the decorations in the city are damaged
slightly by the water.

ration as unique as 1t is artistic. rhe
businessmen of the district have
worked in the closest harmony with
the association and the result was seen
last night in the unsurpassed display
OF the busy streets decorations. AS
soon as the present rain ceases the
poles along the street will be deco
rated with huge ferns and evergreens.
The business houses are literally
buried beneath bunting, and the light
ing system is so admirably arranged
that the effect is not lost even at night.
Although the rain will damage the
decorations somewhat, the merchants

A Book on Wrestling.

There has just been issued from the
press of Richard K. Fox, Franklin
Square, New York, one of the most
valuable and comprehensive treatise
on wrestling ever published. Worlds
champion wrestler Frank Gotch has
written a book about the art, which
contains everything that is of interest
to enthusiasts. A special chapter is
devoted to training and another to the
career of the conquerer of Hacken-
schmidt. 1t contains fifty excellent
half-tone illustrations, showing all his
principal holds, including the famous
toe hold. Portraits are shown of the
best known mat artists. 1t is No. 20,
of FoX's Athletic Library, and will be
sent to any address for 10 cents; post
age 3 cents extra.

Calcium chloride solution is applied
with any ordinary watering cart
A road to which calcium chloride has
not previously been applied should be
sprinkled thoroughly twice over with
this solution an interval one day being
allowed to elapse between the first and
second treatment.
For the first treatment, length of
100 yards of road yards wide, that is
500 square yards, will require about
800 gallons of solution, 500 gallons for
the first and 300 gallons for the second
sprinkling on the next day. For sub
sequent treatments, one thorough
sprinkling will suffice each time, using
about 300 gallons of.above solution per
800 square yards; this will probably
have to be repeated during the ordi-
nary sprinkling season about four
times on an average; it is i'm possible, of
course, to give a definite figure, be-
cause much depends upon the dryness
or otherwise of the season, the quality
of the road and the amount and char
acter of the traffic.
The above solution, is highly andors-
ed by all who have used it. We publish

Benton and Barton.

In the Thirty Years In the United
States Senate by Thomas Hart Ben
ton, Missouri's famous United States
senator, there is scant mention of Ben
toms colleague from Missouri, David
Barton. The only place in which his
name occurs is where Senator Benton
gives the roll call of the senate, and
Barton'S name of course is therein
contained. Benton undertook to pun
ish Barton by ignoring him and thus
relcgatc the first United States sena-
tor from Missouri to oblivion Barton
had brought about Benton's election to
the senate. Barton was first named by
the legislature, and there was IL long
contention rs TO the second senator
ship. Finally Barton's friendship for
Benton brought about Benton's elec-
ton. Later the two quarreled over the
appointment of an Indian agent in the
far west and drifted further and fur
ther apart. Finally the relations be-
tween the two senators became such
that they scarcely spoke to one an
other when they met.-Kansas City
