.To MIRACLES Mill. a Miles,

The age of miracles may be over, but
there isn't one of us that doesn't hide
somewhere a lurking desire to come
prosaic path of every day. That is the
thought that stirred Ruth Comfort
Mitchell, probably. when she came
upon a sign post in the Santa Cruz
mountains and wrote a song about it
for the September Sunset.
I'm going to pretend for l want to believe
All changes possible, yet
We've grown careless and old IN the turmoil,
dear,
With its hurry and worry and fret
This hill is Parnassus-who gfowls at the climb,
Away from the world and its wiles.
Thereil be heydays and health, good fortune and
wealth
To Miracles Mill-four miles!

BIGCY WILL MAKE
DAVFY STAND TRIAL
Chief Declares Charge of Unbe-
coming Conduct Will Be Filed
Against Policeman

The circumstances surrounding the
forced marriage and love affairs of Po-
Iiceman Edward T. Davey win result
| in charges of conduct unbecoming an
officer being filed against him next
Tuesday.
Chief Biggy declared yesterday that
such action would be taken. Though
Davey's conduct has been known to
Chief Biggy and the public for many
weeks, no formal charges were filed
and there was no indication that they
would be. Whatever doubt there was
regarding the advisa bility of such a
step was entirely removed in the face
of the additional exposures published
in The Call yesterday, which showed
that his treatment of Miss May Austin
/ had been fully as Objectionable and
"unoficerIike' as that toward Miss Ell
len Yonge, the girl he was forced to
marry.

from making charges until we had all

DAVEY ENTERS DENIAL
Davey made a sweeping denial of
the accusations that he had ruined

said, and I have never done anything

Irish : American Club
Athletes Compete
Ten Mile Race Is Won by
RiOrdaH Despite Handicap
of Six Minutes

A fair sized crowd gathered at the out
ing and games of the Irish-American
athletic club. which were held at Ingie-
side lacetrack yesterday afternoon, and
witnessed a number of contests. for
which prizes were awarded. Hoburg,
the former Commercial high school ath-
lete, was successful in carrying Off
first honors in the half mile race,
though his time was very slow.
The great race of the day was the ie
mile affair. which was won by Riordan
of the Irish-American club. who had
six minutes handicap. Macmillan of
the same club, with three minutes
handicap, took second. and the scratch
man, Soldier King, made third place,
though his time was the fastest, max
ing ii in 81 minutes. Riordan's time
was ] hour / minute.
The furlong race was won by Knox,
unattached. who started from scratch.
Rogers. Irish American, second, and
Block Of the Cornell athletic club third,
the time being "a 3-5 seconds.
Rogers of the Irish-American, with 6
inches handicap. won the broad jump.
Knox. unattached, was second, and
Baumbaugh of Wilmerding pulled down
the third position. The distance was
% feet u inches.

After that, however, the match was in
teresting and much closer than the
score would indicate.
Both players put up some very classy
tennis a times. McLoughlin's overhead
work was brilliant, and when he used
a drive he usually scored the point. He
did not play enough of a driving game
however. Long seems to be able to
handle chop stroke better than a
drive. and nearly always won the point
when Mclaughlin used a chop.
McLoughlins serving was consider
ably better than Longs. as the latter
made at least il double faults. Long
was unable to handle an overhead ball
and whenever he tried smash he put
the ball out of court. His volleying and
lobbing Were particularly good through
out
Mclaughlin took the first set easily
and he also won the second set, but
only after Is games had been played
Long won the third set and started
out like winner in the fourth set by
taking the first two games. McLough-
lin came back strong after that and ran
out the set with the loss of but one
more game.
| The final score, in favor of McLough-
lin, was 6-3. 81, as, 6-3.

British Rugby Team
Shows Good Form
By William Unmack

By their win over California Satur-
day the Vancouver Rugby team has
demonstrated that they are a stronger
aggregation than has formerly come
from Vancouver.
That Rugby at California and Stan
ford has improved wonderfully is ad-
mitted on all sides. For a Vancouver
team that last year could only win one
game and lose another to California. TO
draw and win against much improved
team, clearly shows that the Canadians
are in better form.
1t might seem strange to some when
1 say this improved form on the part
of the Canadians is due to their games
with the British team In Vancouver last
month. Although the Vancouver men
were defeated easily they were quick
TO grasp some of the finer points.
Great interest centers in the meeting
of Vancouver and Stanford Wednesday,
So far this season Stanford has shown
advantage than the blue and gold. and
the cardinal supporters are expecting
their team to defeat the visitors
In British Columbia Rugby circles
the feeling is that the Vancouver team
viii meet its Waterloo at Stanford.
The games Wednesday and Saturday
are bound to be closely contested.

Miners of California Ask
Protection Under Law
Free Entry of Foreign Products Prevents Devel-
opnent of Resources of State

. Five classes OF mineral producers of
California will appear. by representa-
tives, before the committee on ways
and means soon after congress meets,
asking for the first time that the
products they mine In this state shall
be protected when the Dingley tariff
IS revised and that duties shall be
placed on foreign products of the same
kinds. The five minerals, each OF
which ought to be a source OF wealth
90 California, have not been protected.
and therefore, have not been as promi-
nent in the mineral returns Of Califor-
MA as the size OF the deposits warrants
and their quality would seem to de-
snand. They are aephaltum, chrome,

by Mclaughlin

4 large crowd OF enthusiasts gathered
about the tennis courts in Golden Gate
park yesterday to watch the challenge
match in the mems singles for the
championship of the bay counties.
Maurice Mclaughlin was the defender
and Melville Long, the winner of the
tournament, was the challenger.
The match was the best three out of
five sets, but it required the playing of
only four sets to return McLoughln
the winner
The cup is to be won three times in
order to become the permanent prop
erty of the winner. McLoughlin has
now captured it twice.
The first set in yesterdays match did
not bring out much good playing. as it
took the greater part of the set to get
the players warmed up to the game.

fork of the Trinity river in Trinity
county, which has recently been the
source of ore worth some thousands
of dollars a ton, according to local
reports, was sold, little more than a
year ago, for the sum of $500 for two
thirds interest. A little later the buyer
tried to sell out for s240, but could
not find purchaser. The sale for
$500 was to pay a grocery bill. The
great strike in the mine was made
about one month ago.
Valuable ore has been uncovered in
the Lecompton mine, so says the New
ada City Transcript.
Strikes are reported to have been
made In the Phoenix group of mines
in the Hurleton neighborhood in Butte
county in the land worked by the
Cramer brothers in Amador county; in
the Hill mine in the Grass Valley dis
trict; and in the Fiyer shaft in the
Hart district.
According to the Los Angeles Her
aid. Tiffany brothers have recently
shipped 800 pounds of turquoise from
the Old Crescent camp to the east
and they will take out 500 pounds this
year making UP a total value of gems
shipped amounting to something like
s1,o00,0o0.
With the opening of the new smelter
at Coram the production of copper
in Shasta county, this year, ought to
be swelled largely and the total cop
per output of the county may be worth
between s6.000,O00 and s7,000,000 for
the IL months.
