CRICKET TITLE TO
BE DECIDED TODAY
Wanderers Must Win Match at
Stadium TO CIinch League
Championship
STANDING OF THE CLUBS

Two championship cricket games are
scheduled to be played today, but the
one that is attracting most attention is
that between the Wanderers and the
Golden Gates at the stadium. On this
game depends the championship title
and the Wanderers will have to come
out of the fight with a cleancut victory
in order TO be returned champions for
the present season.
The Alameda team is tied with the
Wanderers for first place, though the
latter have played one game less than
the crossbay team. Should the Golden
Gates win today's game it will still
leave the leaders on even terms and
the Cricket association will have to
arrange another game to be played be-
tween the Alamedas and Wanderers
The Golden Gate club men have been
showing much better form in their
last few games than at any other time
during the present season and it is
within the range of possibilities that
they might slip one over on the Wan
derers today.
The other game is to be played at
the Alameda cricket grounds between
the Barbarians and the San Francisco
county teams and they will fight it out
for the third place in the champion
ship.

SHAKING HANDS is A
RELIC OF BARBARISM
Other Ways of Greeting Friends
Are Preferable

Although a few have suffered the un-
pleasant experience of the man In the
case recently reported, the bones Of
whose hands were forced out of place
blythe wise like grasp Of a too vigor-
Gus and unduly jemOnstrative friend
most people will be inspired by their
personal recOllections to sympathize
with this victim of a misdirected
ardor, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Every one knows people who seek to
express the sincerity and earnestness
of their good will by squeezing the
hand they take as though they were
trying to break every one OF the score
or so of bones which the human hand
comprises, and every one on such Oc-
casions must have wished that some
other form of saIutation than the one
most in vogue had been devised and
were generally practiced.
Shaking hands is a relic OF barbarism
anyhow. 1t became the custom In the
DAYS when every one carried a dagger
in his belt and when one friend meet
ing another thought 1t necessary to
attest the peacefuless of his intentions
by extending an open palm. Then the
other man could do no less than make
a similarly reassuring demonstration
and the grasp of these two extended
hands naturally followed Subse-
quentIy by a logical process OF evO-
Conventional form of greeting and the
refusal of a profered hand was re-
garded as one of those insults whose
dishonor can only be wiped out with
blood. Now the custom is too firmly
and widely established for its aban-
donment to be conceivable, and yet
there are various things about IL which
render Ii unsatisfactory.
Rather surprising it has thus far
escaped the denunciatiOn Of the doc
tors, who have spared so little else.
as a possible occasion for the COM
munication Of injurious microbes, but
one does not have to be a president of
the United States, not even popular
politician engaged in a canvass for
votes, not sometimes to have wished
that the handshaking habit had never
been contracted. There are so many
different kinds Of hands whose touch
communicates a sensation not exact
ly pleasant Hands that are too hot
or too cold, too moist or too dry, or
whose inertness communicates an I'M
complimentary sense Of Indifference on
the part of their possessors.
Every one is familiar with the hand
shake in which all the shaking has TO
be done by the party of the first part.
in which the hand one graSps lies limp
and lifeless in ones own, to be taken
or left, to be squeezed or let drop, as
one pIeases. while the attitude OF the
owner suggests an absolute lack OF
interest in the proceedings Behold.
that also Is vanity and vexation of
spirit So is the question which re-
currently arises, and which it may be
suspected is the source OF much secret
embarra sSment, the question OF to
shake or not TO shake. Etiquette has
its rules for this, but no rules etiquette
can formulate viii cover every case
that may arise, and to determine the
right thing may not always be easy.
II will be seen that the Chinese plan
has it's advantages. The Chinaman you
meet does not shake your hand. He
bows and shakes his own.

TAMALPAIS team
Cadets OHfpIay Opponents and
Make All Their Points i'm
First Half

The fotball eleven from the Mount
Tamalpais military academy defeated
the Lick team yesterday in a closely
contested game on the academy
grounds. The final score was II to 10,
and but for failure on the part of
Lick to kick goal the score would
have ben tied.
The academy boys outplayed their
opponents in the first half and made
all their points. In the second half
Lick seemed to find it's stride.
The visitors played on the defensive
in the second half. Their best work was
accomplished in end runs and forward
passes. Lick had the advantage in
weight and gained ground mostly
through straight plunges.
The Tamalpais team will be in the
league this year and from its showing
should rank well up in the running.
The teams lined up as follows:

Next Friday Night

One Round" Hogan, undoubtedly the
greatest lightweight California has
produced since the days of Jimmy Britt,
will make his .reappearance in the ring
next Friday night at Dreamland pavil-
ion, when he will box frankie Smith.
who has been doing some good fighting
on the other side of the Rockies.
The boys have been brought together
by Promoter Ed Powers of the Golden
Gate club and are to box four rounds.
Hogan has not started since he defeated
frankie Burns of Oakland some weeks
ago, and on that occasion he demon
strated that he is one Of the best bows
that has ever been developed in these
parts.
Hogan is a popular fighter and one
that the fans like to see perform There
is action every minute he is in the ring
and he generally puts up sensational
battle.
Smith is a hard hitting ringman who
has been coming to the front with rand
strides of late. He has been battling
in the east against the best boys in his
class and his work has been gilt edge
Smith has been long seeking a. match
with Hogan and has frequently hurled
challenges at the knocker out, but he
was turned down until now.
Hogan purposes to go to Shannon,s
training quarters to get in shape. He
will take some good boys over with
him to help him out in his boxing work.
Smith has not decided where he will
do his training. He has been doing
light work, so 1t will not be necessary
for him to do much of the grind to get
on edge.
Promoter Ed Powers is planning to
stage an all star card and he is nego-.
tiating with some of the best short dis
lance fighters around here.

OSTRICH FARMING IS
POPULAR IN AFRICA

Consul General Richard Guenther of
Frankfort says that the German con-
sui general at Cape Town has sent a
report on South African ostrich farm
ing to his government, from which the
following is taken:
The great success which has at
tended ostrich farming in Cape
Colony has led some of the farm
ers in Natal to take up this in
dustry with great zest This has
caused some uneasiness in Cape
Colony, as an Overproduction may
be caused in low quality plumes.
whereas the market for high grade
feathers is capable of expansion
The export of ostrich feathers
from Cape Colony has increased
year after year; it amounted last
year to 1928 pounds. valued at
$10.490,425. While the Cape Colony
farms contain about 100000 TAME
ostriches, there are but 10000 tame
birds in all other countries COM
blned- At the present time ostrich
farming is carried on in Europe,
Madagascar, Argentina, Australia,
New Zealand, and in California,
Arizona and Florida The most
dangerous rival to South Africa in
this respect will be the United
States.
1t is not easy to arrive at just esti-
mate. of the value of ostrich feathers
imported into the United
States, on account of their being in
cluded with other feathers in many
cases. The direct imports from South
Africa in 1909 amounted to s1.193,35S,
while the direct imports into the United
Kingdom from the colony during the
same year amounted to $1,723,35
Ostrich farming has made considerable
progress in the United States. 1t was
started about % years ago, and in 1905
there were 1900 ostriches-

The "Dynamometer of Burglary is
an invention of NJ Bertillon, the re-

destined for the experimental study OF
the traces and marks of chips or splin-
tiers made by burglars in entering resi-
dences or breaking open drawers and
cupboards. This apparatus registers
the force used by the burglars. There
are two discs. one Of which measures
the pressure or force OF traction, and
the other records 1t. After a burglary
has been committed Bertillon expert
ments with a piece or wood similar to
that operated on by the thief, and by
means of the dynamometer he can
judge whether the work is that OF a
man of normal or more than average
