with two victories, Oakland closed up
like a jack knife and was beaten by
Portland during the latter part of the
week with monotonous regularity The
final score of yesterdays session read
Portland 5, Oakland 4.
Pop Van Haltren made a desperate
effort to stave off defeat in the after
noon contest, and he went so far as to
put himself in the game to get the
honors. but the Commuters were not
equal to the task. Oakland'S field
ing would not be tolerated in sand
lot league. Five errors were charged
against the transbay bunch.
Oakland opened with Wild Wigs on
the mound, and Portland sent in Car
son to do the firing work. Both of
them were retired before the end of the
game. Wiggs went seven rounds and
was retired in favor of Christian; and
after heaving five innings, Carson
turned the job over to Graney.
McCay made a switch by chasing
Truesdale over to third sack and work
ing at the middle station himself, but
after the game had progressed a short
time the Oakland captain saw his mis-
take and he changed back to the old

CARDINAL FAITH
in ATHLETES

Outcome of Varsity Meet in
Doubt but Stanford Ex-
poets Many Points

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. April IL
The outcome of the intercollegiate
meet next Saturday is uncertain. The
records and performances of the ath-
letes of the two universities recently all
point to this, and it is evident that the.
unexpected, which is practically always
present In a big meet, will probably de-
termine the outcome. Here the general
belief has been that the cardinal has
a fighting chance of taking first. That
the prospects were none of the best
was assured from the first, but with the
advance of the season and the round

New Electric Line and Machinery.

The Arizona Copper company is just in receipt of 150-hOrsepower Turbine engine. It will be installed at once, and used for generating cleo tricity for the new alternating cur rent system which has been installed in Clifton. The wires and poles are set all over the town, but South Cliff ton will be the first section of town to received the benefit of the new lighting plant. In addition to these improvements, the company will also erect a handsome two-story building for the exclusive use of the electrici l department, which is in charge of J. H. Chilson.
 On account of the change in the electric system the Consolidated Telephone company has been forced to change it's telephone lines and as a result they have also installed a system that will be great improve uent over the old one. The installa- tion of both the electrical and tele- phone systems have caused the ex' penditure of a considerable amount Ot money
