Third Place Boat Protests
Challenge Cup Race

The Pacific motor boat club. whose
boat Liberty ran third in the first race
for the San Francisco perpetual chal-
lenge cup, on October II, has protest
ed the race. which was won by the
Sacramento boat clubs Palachan, on
the ground of incorrect measurement
of the latter. The protest has placed
the San Francisco yacht club and par
ticularly Lawrence T. Wagner, chair
man Of the regatta committee in an
awkward position. as a San Francisco
club boat owned by the. chairman of
the regatta committee. Wagner him
self, the Roamer, ran second and
therefore if the protest is allowed, the
club will be actually awarding the
cup to itself The members are much
perplexed trying to find the most
graceful way TO get out Of the situa-
tion.
The deed of gift provides that the
boats must be measured 10 days prior
to the race. but the local club did not
want to force the Sacramentans to
make two trips and agreed to measure
the boat the night before the race.
The measurement was made in a
hurry after dark. which caused the
rsistake which will most likely dis
qualify the Palachan.
It is possible that the matter may
be put up to the American power boat
association TO decide. and in the mean
time Wagner is doing the most wor-
rying.

Game and Make Strong
Finish

The speedy Rugby team represent
ing st. Ignatius college gained its
second victory of the season over the
team from the Mission high school
yesterday afternoon on the st. Igna-
titus stadium. The final score was 16
to 10 and the result was in doubt till
the finish. Both teams played good
football all the time and the work was
clean cut and fast.
A large crowd was present. both
teams being well represented by their
rooters. Though they were outplayed
most of the time, the lads from the
Mission were full of grit and tight
and never gave up till 1t was all over
ond half and were coming stronger at
the finish than at any other time dur
ing the game.
Mission opened well, getting the
ball out of the. scrums and in the first
few minutes of play, by a pretty rush,
Captain Stafford almost got to the
goal line but was well tackled by
A big kick by Flood relieved the
tension for St Ignatius and shortly
afterward Duffey went over for a
doubtful try and failing to convert IT,

Brown losses
Ball Away and
Zeider Scores
Daring Seal Tears All the Way
From First on a Wild HeaVe
and the Day Is Won

The game yesterday was just about
10 enter upon the extra inning stage,
when there was a sudden switch, wild
throw. mad dash and many long
sigh of relief. The Seals had won.
Rollie Zeider. the life saver of the team,
had .sprinted madly home from first
base. 1t was all over and the handful
Of fans got up and shook themselves,
for they were tired and cold.
Two men were down when zeider
popped a pretty little single into the
left garden. Immediately he made a
dash for second and Catcher Brown
pegged the ball like a shot out of a
cannon. And it went like one Of those
j inch pro5ectiles, for il never stopped
till il hit the fence and Zeider never
stopped till he was over the plate.
Throughout, the game seemed to ft
the day in ideal fashion. It was slow
and raw and cold and rough, without
any life or pepper or any of the many
good qualities that go to make ball
game worth viewing. The bad points
were so prominent that nobody paid
any attention to the good work. Both
teams were so coarse in their work
that the game should have been de-
Pumpkin Roller Meikle was given a
chance on the Seal slab and really, he
performed far better than the other
members Of his team. Outside OF one
inning when the Vernon sluggers took
q few rides on his offerings the big
fellow showed a lot OF class and con-
ndence. He deserved to win and every
body seemed glad that he old get away
with his victory.
Doc Miller started the Seals on their
way in the second by Shaping the ball
over the right field fence In the third,
Meikle got a pass, but Davis forced
him. Mundorf also bingled and a passed
ball advanced them. Zeider produced
q slow one 10 second and before Truck
Eagan could field the ball to the plate
Davis had slid in and the Seals were
two to the good.
Vernon tore after Meikle in the fifth
and made il a deadlock After Eag gan
had waited out the bad ones, Bill
DeVereaux skinned q safe drive into
right and they both advanced on the
THROWN. Meikle got rid Of Brown and
Vance in jig time, but Jesse StoNal IN
cOrked his second Two Sacker and both
. the boys arrived, making il 2 to ,.
Through the wildness of Vance and a
general all round mixup OF the Vernon
infield the Seals forged ahead again IN
their half of the inning and the game
looked safe for a while, but only for a
while. In round both Mundorf and
McArdle heaved the ball away over
Tenants head on easy infield ground
ers and this made it a tie for the sec
ond time.
TN Brown made his awful peg in the
ninth the players on both sides seemed
70 be playing as though the champion
ship Of the world depended on the out
come Of the game. But that toss made
many Of the unkind fans say that
Brown was getting cold and tired and
wanted to go home, so he just accom-
modated Zeider at the crucial moment.
The score:
