STAGE SEEMS TO BE

serve the Praise of history
and the thanks of the whole world. 1t is
in the spring that things happen in the
Balkan region-that present center of
the continent wherein may be struck
the vital spark of European flame. The
Balkans are extremely mountainous,
and the country, difficult of communi.

impossible in the winter, when snow
and drift and glacier block the rugged
way, writes A. Francis Walker in the
New York Press.
1t is country of unrest, of strife
and turmoil Year after year the
world has been told each winter
There will be war in the Balkans in

that 1t has become skeptical, but the
time for skepticism is past. If ever
the rumor is going to find develop

to Sir Edward Grey, the British min

Balkan troubles have caused 1.-The

modern history" Never were so many
international interests involved, nor
dbl so many territorial complications

Is Contest of Races.
The fundamental. basic fact back of
all the negotiations between the vari-
GUS powers, principally Austria and
Turkey, Russia and the Balkan prov
inces proper, is the collision of two
opposing forces, whose natural trend,
respectively, is east and west, north
and south. Kinglake in his mastery

the inevitable tendency of the north

two great races are obeying that in

north to south, or southwest, the Slav
is equally bent upon linking up the
dismembered fragments of his race
and making his way down to the
Adriatic. And the geographical and
political point at which the lines of
these movements intersect lies in the
two provinces which form the present
bone of contention.

TWO SURPRISES AT
THE EMERYVILLE
TRACK
No Rule, at 90 to /, and Fulf0rd,
at II TO /, Are Among
the Winners
BY J. K. Jefery

No Rule, at so to /, and Fulford, at
IL to l, were surprises at Emeryville
yesterday. The remaining events went
ranted the short odds at which they
were held. d. S. Fountains good colt
Penn won the year old race as second
choice in the betting, and Fountain also
furnished one of three winning favor
ties in his greatly improved Hush
Money. Jockey Borel, who has been
exhibiting clever form in the saddle of
late, piloted both of the winners from
the Fountain stable, and likewise the
winning long shot No Rule from the
heene stable Borels powerful finish
was responsible for No Rules nose VIC
tory over Ell Paso another long shot
that c. Brant and his connections had
played for killing. Duke of Milan
was heavily backed as favorite of the
race, but the hopeless incapacity of
Jockey Post, who had been intrusted
with the mount, kept him from finish
ing in the money.
Starter Hoffman made such bungle
OF the sendaway in the second race that
he was vigorously hooted. Import, the
favorite, was among those that got the
worst of the break, and that the horse
was able to win despite the handicap
a good ride that Jockey Taplin put up.
Waldo was an even money choice in
the juvenile feature of the card, but his
chances went glimmering when he was
caught in a jam just after the barrier
arose. He was unfortunate in having
the rail position. After making up
ground lost by the early interference he
tired in the stretch and finished un-
placed.
Sewell gave the favorite hackers a
scare in the fourth by running into a
long early lead, but Blagg found 1t easy
to pick him up in the stretch and won
by himself
Erbet was we'll fancied by his stable
connections and came within head of
taking Hush Moneys measure in the
fifth. The finish would not have been
close but for Hush Moneys failure to
get away to advantage.
With any kind of luck at the start
Prince Gal would have made good as a
favorite in the final race. While he was
making UP ground from a poor break
Fulford was breezing in 'front.' and al
though Prince Gal made a brave at
tempt, he was unable to overtake the
flying pace maker. Little Siss, which
ruled favorite at one stage of the bet
ting, warmed UP sore and her odds
heightened as consequence. She sue
ceeded in beating Darlington for third
money.
The local racing has only three more
days to run. An augmented attendance
is marking the final week of the meet
ing and it is probable that there will
be an especially big turnout Saturday.
which will be getaway day.

The San Francisco outlaws have
evidently set aside the ninth frame as
ascension inning, for the boys guided
by Navigator Charley Irwin took an
other rise in the gas bag yesterday
afternoon and more than duplicated
their aerial flight of the preceding
afternoon in the closing round. Their
exhibition was sloppy, the local ag-
gregation needing a good deal of
strengthening. The score was Fresno
Z, San Francisco 2.
Captain Kelley has a snappy bunch
with him, and they keep going all the,
time. The Raisin Eaters were never
behind at any stage, though the locals
tied them in two periods. When the
ninth frame got around Fresno had one

locals had a chance, but they tossed
away whatever opportunity they had
when they did lot of high and lofty
fielding. When the last man went out
on the Fresno side the score showed
that the Raisin Eaters had annexed
four runs on a hit. This was enough;
everybody conceded right there that
the locals were outdistanced.
Smith took up the work for the Wis
itors and he pitched a good, heady
game. Eli Gates worked for the
locals, and the first inning had not
elapsed when Kelley sampled one of
his offerings for a home run. It was
a healthy clout along the first base line
which rolled out among the automo-
biles.
San Francisco got this one back in
the next round when Dewey singled TO
center and Ferlin sacrificed. Dewey
came home on Hallinans hit In the
fifth Fresno again assumed the lead
by getting another. tally. Smith sin
gled to center field and the ball got
away from the fielder and Smith pulled
up at third. Bills hunted and was out
at first. but Smith stole home on the
out.
San Francisco tied the score for the
last time in the same frame. Gates
singled TO left field and was sacrificed
by Spencer. Feeney hit safely. scoring

In the seventh Fresno put another
run over on two hits. Schimpf singled
to right and took second on an out
Bills was safe on an infield hit and
Schfmpf tried to make two bags on it.

pocket and reach home by a clever bit

A good start Invariably ended just as
bad start did, SO in the lone run it
did not make much difference. Three

DUGAN WILL RIDE AT PIMLIco

Eddie Dugan says that he will not
return to England, but that he will
resume riding in this country when the
Pimlico meeting opens. Dugan holds a
riding license from the New York
jockey club, issued January IA, and
there is no reason why he should not
ride in this country, despite the Eng
iish jockey clubs denial of his license.
The boy will not, however. be entitled
to the $4,000 salary which he would
have erned had he been able to ride in
England. That contract was based
upon the use of the boy for English
races, where the stakes are sufficiently
valuable to warrant a retaining fee of
that magnitude.
