COWS composing the dairy herd-the
feeding and profits on each COW for

showed a net average profit of $54.07.
The COW making the highest profit

The COWS gave milk 165 days, on

The average test was 4.S3 per cent.
The average daily allowance of grain

NEW YORK, June 4.-James e. Sulli-
van of the Amateur Athletic union said
to The Call correspondent today that he
had received a protest from the Stan
ford university track team and that the
secretary had written to Bert Martin.
chairman of the registration COMMITTEES
of the Rocky Mountain association of
the Amateur Athletic union, Denver for
a full report on the reasons for decIar-
ing the Stanford university team pro
fessional." 1t may take several weeks
to get a reply.
Sullivan says Chairman Martin can
rescind the order against Stanford If he
thinks the penalty too severe, but IL he
does not do so the Stanford team can
not play in Amateur Athletic union
games until the matter is passed upon
by the committee of registration, COM
posed of members from the various
sections of the United States. This
body acts as final court of appeal.
But the penalty against Stanford does
not bar the team from playing in in
tercollegiate games.
Sullivans understanding is that the
Rocky Mountain team had been defiant
against the Amateur Athletic union
and finally played a date without the
sanction of the Amateur Athletic union
and without registration. The game
was with Stanford. so Stanford was

ORPHANS DELIVER
CONTEST In
TWELFTH
Game Full of ThriiIers Ends
When FieIders Allow High
Fly to Drop

The Orphans battled for II innings
yesterday before they released their
hold on the game to the Sand Crabs.
1t was one of those affairs that kept
the fans guessing throughout and the
dull moments were few. Hackett's
boys might have done better IL they
omitted some of their boneheaded
work, as they certainly crammed some
of the rough stuff in the IL innings.
A couple of bingles in this round gave
the Crabs the winning tally.
1t looked as if Santa Cruz would
gather the honors up until the last
half of the seventh, when the Orphans
got in the going. The lead of two,
which the sea beach boys were holding,
was evened up and all indications
pointed to an extra inning contest, as
Johnny Hopkins was on the mound,
and any time the red haired boy is
there the gang expects an extra ses-
sion.
Wen.s right after the Orphans tied
the score in the seventh, the Crabs
eighth, and everybody said good
night" for the Orphans.
But the real explosion occurred in
the Orphans half of the eighth, and
not to be outdone by the enemy they
put four over and again tied the score.
Before the inning was ended Devereaux
called for reinforcements and Ike Buta
ler relieved Hopkins. Ike was as steady
as the rocks of Gibraltar, and he took
hold of the situation like master. He
was too much for Hackett's men dur
ing the remainder of the game, and
they all went down before his benders.
The winning score came over in the
twelfth. when Broadbent, who had been
hitting very tamely during the early
part of the game, doubled after one
man died. Eastwood raped out a
skier which the fielders argued who
should take. Croll should have cor
rallied it easily. but he stood in won
derment and he watched the ball drop
to the ground. Broadbent scored on
this Texas Lacquer, and the Orphans
were bowled over in a hurry in their
half of the twelfth. Score:
