Shriners in Masonry, is to come before
the sovereign lodge. The Ladies Mill

RUGBY FOR BABIES OF
BOTH UNIVERSITIES
Berkeley Will Play St. Mary's Today and
Stanford Meets Palo Alto

Two games are scheduled to be
played this afternoon, one at Oakland
between the blue and gold babies and
the. st. Mary's college team. and the
other at Stanford between the cardinal
freshies and the Palo Alto high.
The game at Oakland will be the, sec
ond meeting of these teams this sea-
son. When these teams met on the
ST. Mary's campus last year the Cali
fornia freshmen were beaten. and it is
a singular fact that the college team
always puts up better brand of Rugby
on it's own ground than on other
grounds.
The st. Mary's team will be consider
ably strengthened today by the addition
of two veterans of last years team.
Captain Dickson has returned to college
and will take his usual place on the
three quarter line. Benedeen, one of
last years star forwards, has also re-
turned and Coach Stewart has put him
in the pack.
Coach Schaeffer has considerably al
tered the personnel of the baby team
for today's clash. Three of the freshies
who have been showing varsity form,
Stroud Peart and Mini, will be left out
OF today's game, and a number of other
aspirants will be tried out. The teams

Baseball Notes

Kid Mohler suffered injury yesterday to his
left hand which will undoubtedly keep him out
of the game for several days. In the third frame
while attempting to catch Carroll, who was
stealing second. Mohler was spiked in the hand
and the steel penetrated deeply into the flesh.
He was forced to retire, and Zeider was changed
over to second base.
1t was tough day on the Seals. for Henley
was hit on the elbow in the sixth frame. Wigs
let go one of his speed burners, which Henley
could not get away from. and it struck him
right the funny bone. For time it looked
as If the slim pitcher would have to quit for the
day. but he gameiy stuck it out.
The Seals new catcher. Carman. warmed up
with the boys yesterday at Freeman's park. The
new backstop is a big fellow. and the way he
gets about would indicate that he is there with
the goods.
Cal Ewing has a new umpire coming from the
other side OF the Rockies. His name Is s. Fin
ney and he has been umpring in the Oklahoma

President Cal Ewing announced yesterday that
the games at Recreation park beginning today
would start at p. m. instead of 3:15 p. M,
which has heretofore been the rule except Sat-
urdays. Sundays and holidays. The season is
getting late and the shades OF night are begin
