Hunter Gets Acquittal for
Killing of Doe
| Special Dispatch 10 The Call

UKIAH. Nov. s.-The killing of a
doe has occupied the local court for
the last four days and the case came to
an end Saturday night after the jury
had been out eight minutes. Allan
Wages, the defendant in the case. was
arrested last month by Game Warden
Lea in Lake county charged with kill
ing a doe.
The trial was to be held in Lake
county and after the, jury being inn
paneled and the case ready for argu-
ment the district attorney dismissed it
on the ground that the killing took
place on the supposed boundary line
between Mendocino and Lake counties;
that when the shot was fired the man
who did the shooting was standing on
q large rock situated on the boundary
line: that when the deer was shot at
it was running near this line. and when
ii fell dead il was in Mendocino county.
over these two points the attorneys
argued and the defendant was
acquitted.

playing one game disbanded. and so
left only three teams in the compe-
Santa Clara high found the Noun

last game Mountain View played as
they decided TO forfeit all their other
games 10 their prospective opponents.
Palo Alto won over San Jose and

Santa Clara. Santa Clara won over
Mountain View and tied with both San
Jose and Palo Alto. San Jose won over
Mountain View (forfeit). lost to Palo
Alto and tied with Santa Clara
Now. on a percentage basis. this is
cording to the way this is arranged by
the baseball leagues: Palo Alto 1000,
Santa Clara 1000. San Jose 500.
Nothing is to be gained by that The
competition is too small to decide via
the percentage route. and ii has been
suggested that two points count for a
win and one for a tied game Under
these conditions the result OF the
schedule can be definitely and fairly
got at and the results would be as

Vallejo Football Team
Defeats Marines
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

lOPcSiut i%tSpottt ~ hS SoiiJ
VALLEJO, Nov s.-The Winged VS.
added another creditable victory to
their long list yesterday afternoon,
when they decisively beat the fast Ma :
rine football team of Mare island to
the tune of 81 toA6.
The winged VS. managed to make
play on the kickoff to the Marines,
who fumbled and lost the ball. The
Marines made their only goal in the
first half also, on an attempted for
ward pass made by the Winged VS.,
which was blocked by O'Connor, who
then made a IS yard dash down the
field, where he planted the ball be-
tween the two goal posts.
The second half was one sided. as
the local boys played the sailors off
their feet and practically scored at
will. The fine playing of Fielder at
right half for the Winged VS. was no.
ticable throughout the game. O'Con-
nor and Fraser played the best ball
for the Marines.
Pete Smith officiated as referee and
Ollie Snedigar as field JUICE. The boys
lined up as follows
Winged vs--Hood. left end: Hathaway. left
tackle; Falls. left guard: McInns. center; Green.

Dartmouth May Not Play
Princeton Again
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

BOSTON. Nov. s.-There is a proba-
bility that Princeton may be off Dart
mouths schedule next season. After
Saturdays experience in reaching
Princetons playing grounds Dart
mouths athletic council will insist on
the game being played on neutral
grounds
Whether Princeton's athletic officials
will agree to that is In doubt. The
protest against playing Princeton at
Princeton comes from the Dartmouth
alumni. majority of whom are not
kindly disposed to the tedious journey
involved in the trip to anywhere in
New Jersey. There would be no OBJ
lection to the annual game being
played in New York.
It is also rumored that Dartmouth
feels kindly disposed toward Pennsyl-
vania and might not have the slightest
compunction in dropping Princeton for
Pennsy ylvania. Pennsylvania and Dart
mouth would easily draw 10000 spec
tators TO Franklin field in Philadelphia.

Not Taken Seriously
(. SEATTLE. Wash. Nov. s.-Bids for
the Johnson-J -Jeffries fight sent to New
York from the state of Washington
are not commented on seriously In this
state, which has never tolerated prize
fighting, even in pioneer days Last
winter, when promoters hoped to be
able to give boxing exhibitions during
the Worlds Fair it was made clear
to them that all the power of the state
would be used. if necessary, to prevent
the fights. 1t is doubtful IL any state
enforces the law against prize lighting
more rigidly than Washington.
