Quarrel Between Riders and
Walkers at Menlo Park
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

MENLO PARK. Dec. 12.-There is a
lively quarrel on here between thoss
who ride in rigs and autos from their
homes to the trains and those who plod
their weary way on foot. This is due to
the proposed Identification of the
square at the Southern Pacific depot
Those who walk wanted the square
planted with grass and ornamental
shrubs. while those who drive with llv-
cried footmen insisted that the square
should be left dry and barren. so as to
afford ample room for turning their
smart traps and gasoline cars. 1t looks
as if those who ride would win.
Some time ago those who walk asked
the Southern Pacific TO beautify the
square. The railroad officials signified
their Willingness to comply with the re-
quest. Then the patricians objected.
Joseph A. Donohue and Edward w.
Hopkins generally the fight against the
commuters. They headed a petition
against the improvements. and which
carried such weighty names as J. LEROY
Nickel, James l.. Flood. Perry Eyre and
Theodore F. Payne.
The odds were too great The South
ern Pacific has reversed itself and taken
back its promised garden.

KNITTERS AND PHOENIX
PLAY IL INNING GAME
Score Stands 2 to 2 When Dark.
ness Interferes

For the second time in eight days
the Phoenix team of ST. Mary's college
and the Gantner & Mattern tossers
played a fiercely contested game on
the Oakland college diamond without
settling the supremacy. Last Sunday
they stopped in the sixth frame on ac-
count OF rain with no score record.
Yesterday. by way of compensation to
the fans apparently, they continued the
struggle through IL innings.
The contest was almost settled in
the eleventh frame in favor of the
Phoenix. Had the collegians' squeeze
play trick worked yesterday as 1T
usually works, the score board would
have read to 2. But the runner was
nipped at the plate, and both sides
abandoned the struggle on account of
darkness.
The Phoenix players had slightly the
better of it throughout, getting more
men on bases and hitting Dolan rather
more freely than the knitters mana ged
