Il GREEK THEATER
A GIFT OF

VIM. RANDOLPH HEARST.
The theater, a reproduction OF
the open-air amphitheater at Ath-
ems, is one of the most beautiful
things on the Pacific coast, and
may we'll be appreciated by the
University of California; but why
| 1t should be labeled "Greek the
alter" or tagged in Hearst head
lines as "a gift of" is beyond my
ability to understand.
San Francisco boasts an organi-
cation known as the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. Its members are permitted
lby the city police to violate the
city ordinance against carrying
concealed weapons. The principal
business of the members of this
organization is to be present daily
at the Heney graft trials and to
laugh uproariously at the Jokes"
and hits" of the counsel for P.
Calhoun. Thus police protection
is afforded for a pack of armed
thugs whose notorious object is to
influence juries and terrorize all
persons on the side of law and
order.
Rudolph Spreckels (Heney's
backer) has lost all faith in Presi-
dent Taft. He puts it this way:
"Taft spends half his time build
ing up the power and prestige of
that element in congress opposed
to what we may call. for lack of
a better term, reform. Then he
spends the other half promising
the people to recommend reform
to congress. He Endorses Aldrich.
and then says he will recommend
Roosevelt policies to the Aldrich
congress. He commends Tawney
and says he will suggest to Taw-
Iney the passage of Roosevelt leg
islation. He builds up Cannon,
and then tells the public that he
favors all the policies that Can
non most detests. He says he
knows the Roosevelt policies and
approves them, and then he takes
a speedy refuge behind the need
for congressional legislation be-
fore he can really give
substantial proof of his fidelity to
the course pursued by his prede-
cessor. All of which shows--to

The petitioners state that they will

lengths before coming to a dead stop,
and the other cars we're 62 miles on
their journey before he was able to
get back on the track. Ruess drove a
desperate race and it is the veriest
wonder that his car, skidding badly at
the turn, did not run counter to the
Franklin Greyhound and cause bad
spill.
Lozier Racer Purchased
One Of the significant echoes of the
days struggle was the purchase of the
Lozier racer Immediately after the
race by Milton Stiles of Ventura, who
became enthusiastically impressed with
the great power and consistency of this
car in actual speed competition with
its rivals.
1t was really not until the hundred
miles had been run and the fighting
racers had gotten into their stride
that the race took on the aspect of in
tense enthusiasm At the end of the
hundredth mile the Mitchell was lead
ing.
At the one hundredth and twenty
fifth mile the Franklin was leading by
one and a quarter miles, its time be-
ing 2:50:15, with the Mitchell second
and the Kisselkar third.
kisseIkar Takes Lead
At the one hundred and fiftieth mile
three-quarters of a mile and from this
point on it maintained its lead to the
finish, the Franklin being second at
this point. She Kisselkar's time was
3:15:26.
At the two hundredth mile the Kis-
selkar was two laps ahead, its time
being 4:29:05, with the Mitchell sec
ond and the Durocar third.
This order was maintained from this
point on until the close of the race.
Durocar Driver Merry
Driver McKueg, on the Durocar, was
responsible for the most spectacular
piece of driving of the day, when he
missed the Lozier by a scant five
inches, as the latter car was slowing
up in the straightaway as the result
of two punctures in two different
wheels, which came in the same lap.
McKueg was close to the oltside fance
and was driving hard. When he saw
the Lozier stopping and realized his
dilemma there was no other alternative
for him than to go straight ahead and
cut out a clear track between the
Lozier and the fence. This he did
while travelling at top speed and the
hair of the spectators did not settle
back for ten minutes after they wit
messed his narrow shave from collid-
ing with the big battleship McKueg
was given a rousing cheer for his mas
terly work in pulling out of a hard
place with so little time given him to
deliberate.

STANFORD CREW WINS
EIGHT-OARED RACE
Southern Rowers Defeat Athletes of
Washington University by Three
Lengths in Prettiest Race
Seen on Coast

SEATTLE, May 31.-In pretty race
over the three-mile course on Lake
Washington this afternoon the eight
cared crew Of Leland Stanford uni
versity defeated the University of
Washington crew by three lengths.
The time was. 1910.
The stanford crew was surprise to
every one. 1t averaged twenty pounds
heavier than the Washington crew and
betting odds We're 2 to 1 with Wash
ington the favorite.
The Stanford oarsmen showed their
class at the start, leading away with
thirty-eight strokes to the minute. They
soon dropped back to thirty-six and
at the end of the first mile Washing
ton was in the lead.
The Stanford men increased their
stroke and near the end of the second
mile were a little ahead Of the local
crew, when the latter suddenly made
marvellous burst of speed getting ON an
equal basis with their opponents.
Stanford again increased its stroke,
running it up to forty and rapidly
drew away from the washington crew,
who could not force their stroke above
thirty-four.
Before the last half-mile was over it
was easy to see that Stanford would
be the winner and when they crossed
the line the spectators, who filled ex-
cursion boats and the private launches
and crowded the shore of the lake,
gave them a rousing reception.
Stanford's victory was all the more
decisive as it rowed at a disadvantage.
some small excursion craft that We're
following the race on the Stanford side
of the course insisted on getting in
side the lines, causing a heavy swell
that threatened to be disastrous to the
victorious crew.
The race was not started until atter
O'clock. on account of the roughness
of the lake at the early hour.

crew and recognized as an authority in
