The purpose of the series is to aid
the gymnasium fund of the Oakland
college.
Another game which promises to
be of interest is scheduled for Free
mans park, Oakland, this afternoon at
1:90 o'clock. The boys of st. Josephss
school. San Francisco, and the boys of
st. Josephs Institute, West Oakland,
had two teams in the recent baseball
tournament of the Catholic schools
athletic league which rankeds high.
each on its own side of the bay. To-
day these two crack juvenile teams
will meet for the first time, and a
closely contested and well played game
is sure TO be the outcome.
Special interest attaches to the paro-
chial school game by reason of the
fact that Harry Krause, the star twirl-
er of the Philadelphia athletics. will
rofficiate as umpire. The game is sched-
uled for 1880 o'clock, in order that
krause may attend both the Freeman 3
park game and the first of the ST
Mary s-Oakland series at the Grove
street grounds. Krauses interest in
the parochial teams dates from 1900
when he was twirling for the team
that then hailed from st. Peters school

PRISON SENTENCES FOR
PAIR OF RAZOR THIEVES
Probation Denied for Casting
Suspicion or Others

Two razor thieves were sentenced
to prison yesterday. James Stewart,
who entered a room at sos Cough
street and stole the shaving apparatus
of resident there. was given five
years in Folsom by Judge Dooling,
sitting for Judge Lawlor. He had
been convicted and sentenced to state
prison twice before.
Joseph Kenny pleaded guilty OF
stealing $1,000 worth of razors from
Langley & Michaels and was let off
by Judge Cabaniss with one year
in San Quentin. The reason for this
leniency was his previous clean record.
His friends asked Judge Cabaniss to
admit him to probation, but inasmuch
as suspicion had been thrown by
Kenny on others the judge denied
the petition.
Other sentences imposed by Judge
Cabaniss yesterday were: Chester
Ayhens, burglary. one year; Eugene
Rand, burglary, one year In addition
to four years already imposed on an
other charge.

srANDING on THE eLUBs

Spec Hardness gcame near breaking
into the baseball hall of fame yester-
day and he just missed getting into the
place by a nod, and Doc Miller was the
cause OF the Titan haired twirler being
kept out. Spec was about the chief
attraction in yesterdays affray, and
those who paid TO the bleachers and
grandstand might not have been thor
oughly satisfied with the game, but
they got their moneys worth watching

IN the second frame, Hardness got
through the game with clean record
The story OF the seals downfall IS
explained by simply looking at the
hit column. It IS a tale Of where
lot of champions were shown up in the
light of amateurs. All the Seals went
ones which the northerner shot over
the plate.
The visitors played in a fashion
which was in marked contrast TO their
performance in the opening game Of the
series. They were off to good start
and they seemed to be full OF ginger
and they knocked down everything that
came their way They went through
with two double plays which stirred
the fans up.
Iceman Durham was sent forth TO
work for the SeatS. but he was benCneQ
after the sixth frame and Eastley was
sent on the hill. Durham pitched good
ball. but he was not given any kind of
support The two runs the visitors got
in the sixth came after two errors had
been made and with any kind of luck
he would have retired the side
II did not make much difference
about the pitching, as the Seals could
not hit. A pitcher can never win a
game without his side making a run
or two.
The Beavers broke right in front
from the outset Cooney started off by
sampling one of Durham's choicest, and
Graney sent him around the paths When
he leaned on one for a healthy double.
Both pitchers worked in faultless
fashion until the sixth, when Durham
was the first TO fall. Graney started
the trouble again by hitting safely into
the right garden Johnson waited out
four bad ones McCredie hit one to cen
ter and Miller threw TO the plate TO
catch Graney. and Berry had him easily,
but he dropped the sphere. Johnson
scored on Fishers infield hit.
At this stage' Of the game MOhler
thought q change would be good
thing so he started off Che seventh by
putting in Bodie TO bat for Durham and
sending Eastley to the hill. It made
but little difference. The Beavers
grabbed two more runs in the eighth
frame. Johnson and McCredie went to
when Ort singled to center. This ended
the run getting for the afternoon. The
story is told in the score:

WAR SECRETARY
 GETS GOLD MEDAL : FOR HIS HEROISM
Special from United States

Especial from United states. Washington, Sept. 29-A gold life saving medal was to-day presented to Secretary of War Dickinson in recog- milton of his heroism in rescuing from drowning James F. Joy, a Detroit lawyer on the night of August 29, 'O5. This is the first time in hostory so far as can be recalled, that any member of a Presidents Cabinet has ever been similarly honored by the government. The presentation was made in person by Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Hilles without any formality. \ Dickinson's exhibition of daring took place during the meeting of the Am erican Bar Association at Detroit while a party of visitors was return ing from a yachting trip. James F. Joy, the oldest member of the Detroit Bar in attempting to cross on a plank 20 feet deep. Dickinson jumped in jagged. broken rocks at that time. Both men were unhurt.

 MT. Clews adds;
 A large percentage of the very heavy advance that has taken place in the Stock Exchange price level since the inauguration of President Taft in March last has been based up- on the belief that legislative antago- nism to accumulated capital as such was on the wane. Holders of securi- ties. began to feel free from care in this direction. The Presidents speech es, especially that at Des Moines, have suddenly made it clear that great questions affecting the financial mar kets that were considered settled are, in fact, not settled and that the open ing Of Congress will again become the source of uneasiness and uncertainty among large railroad and industrial managers and owners.
 The danger should not be overlook ed of any attempt by the Government to take from railroad managers the proper duties of their various offices. It will not do to place the management of our great railroad and industrial enterprises upon a plane that shall in eIecI De purely meChanlCal, plane where experience, judgment and abil- ity shall not count and where finan- cia1 experience and backing shall not be necessary. The preservation of enterprise is quite as necessary as the suppression of abuses, especially con- ditions that have in deference to hu- man nature arisen from a too concen- trated control of public utilities. It may thus be taken for granted that Congress when it convenes in Decem- Der will be the source of no little un- certainty and nervousness in Stock Exchange circles.
 Wall street contributed heavily to- ward the election of MT. Taft, in the evident belief that the Roosevelt poli- cies would be abandoned by him, and it has since acted in accordance, with that belief. Now, the Street. is be- coming convinced that it was gold bricked" in November last.
