HURDLER TO Lead
u. c. TRACK team
Crack Runner to Succeed Ed
wards as Captain of Uni
Versify Athletes

BERKELEY, Aug. 24.-William
Donald was chosen to captain Cali
fornia's track team of 1911 this after
noon by a unanimous vote of the track
athletes who competed against Stan
ford last year. Donald, who is a
senior in the college of agriculture.
will succeed w. A Edwards, who re-
signed this week, following his de-
termination to enter the University of
Pennsylvania.
California's S new captain is, with the
exception of Edwards, one of the best
hurdlers the university has turned out
in several years. Equally capable of
negotiating the high or low sticks, he
has made record of Is 3-5 seconds in
the 120 yard hurdles. and has covered the
longer stretch in close to 26 seconds.
He is also a speedy man in the 22O
yard DASH With the graduation of
Johns and Cowles, and the departure of
Edwards, Donald is far and away the
best hurdler left on the California
team.
Donald's selection followed meet
ing of the track men of the university
in which it was decided to begin light
fall training next week. A rally, with
speeches by Trainer Christie and prom
inent track men, served to bring out
the first real enthusiasm of the term for
things athletic, and inspired almost a
hundred freshmen to sign up for fall
training.
The baseball men will hold their first
meeting of the term tomorrow after
noon, to make arrangements for be-
ginning fall baseball practice. Captain
Will H. Greenlaw will preside.

Jeff Goes Hunting and
Escapes Subpoena

- LOS ANGELES. Aug. 24--Jim Jeffr1es
went hunting in the mountains today
just in time TO avoid a subpoena which
was issued to appear as a witness in
court tomorrow and testify whether he
and Jack Johnson had prize fight in
Reno July 4.
This is the important question in
the case of the picture show men who
were arrest<d in Arcadia last week for
the reproduction Of the con-
test before an audience there. They
were charged with conspiracy against
public morals, and will be placed on
trial in Pasadena tomorrow.
The district attorney is determined
to prosecute, but other lawyers are
none too sure of the soundness of the
case, believing the picture men might
dispute the allegation that the pictures
were the reproduction of a prize fight,
and present the films themselves as
evidence. To meet such a contingency.
the prosecutor planned to have Jeffries
appear as star witness, but when the
deputy sheriff went out TO Burbank
to serve the summons he learned that
the former champion had gone hunting.

KENTUCKIANS give
BEDWELL The HOOK
Application A for Reinstatement Is
Denied and Permission to
Sell Stable Withheld
By ]. R. JEFFERY

CHICAGO, Aug 24.-The Kentucky
state racing commission today reheard
the case of II. G. BedweIl, ruled off be-
cause of the drugged condition of his
horse, Nadzu. at Latonia July 4. After
Bedwell and his attorney had intro
duced affidavits from two detectives
supporting the Keil Williams affidavit
previously submitted, and had re-
iterated protestations of innocence, the
commission went into a discussion of
the case from all angles. Major f. A.
Daingerfeld moved that the commits
sion affirm its former ruling. The mo-
tion received the unanimous vote of
the commission.
Through his attorney. Bedwell then
made applica tion for permission to sell
his horses with the sanction OF the
commission and the understanding
that they would be permitted to race
in other hands. In response, the COM
mission pointed to rule 209, which
specifies that all horses owned wholly
or in part by a person ruled off must
also be ruled off.
Bedwell says that he will ship his
horses now at Latonia to California
and dispose of them there. He has
been quartered at a Cincinpati hotel
with his family ever since the ruling
was made against him.
1t is now generally accepted that the
price paid by Louis Winans to 5. G..
HiIdreth for Dalmatian was $4,000.

U. c. STUDENTS TO
GREET RUGBYITES
Veterans of AnfipOdes Tour Viii
Be Welcomed Home by Host
of COIlegians

BERKELEY, Aug 24.-The Califor-
MIA members of the All American
Rugby team, which has been touring
the antipodes during the summer, will
receive hearty welcome when they
arrive at the Oakland mole at S:37
o'clock Friday night.
According to the rally committee of
the university 1000 or more collegians
will meet the returning players at
the station and escort them back to
the campus, where monster Informal
rally will be held. The details of the
celebration have not yet been decided
on, but every student has been re-
quested to go to the mole Friday
night
Inasmuch as both Coach Schaeffer
and Assistant Coach Cert are with the
All Americans nothing has been done
as yet toward organizing California's s
gridiron forces. A football meeting
will be held Friday afternoon, but
until the coaches arrive no attempt
will be made to begin practice.
The freshmen are scheduled to play
their first game September 3, one week
after the men first don their suits.
This game should prove an interesting
exhibition. though not of Rugby.
The Australian trip of the All
Americans will mean more for the
class of Rugby California will play
this year than any other one thing
Eight of the men who will in all
probability play for the university,
either as regular players or as substi-
tutes, will come home from two
months of splendid training. after
having met the cleverest Rugby play
ers the world knows, and in two cases
having bested them. The men are
rai
shipboard and will arrive Friday night
in first class condition.
In addition to the eight players who
have been training all summer in the
finer points of the game Coach Schaef-
fer, who coached the, Americans on
their trip. and Assistant. Coach Cert.
who played half. have both been gath
ering valuable pointers to use on the
Californians during the two months of
training before the big game, which
comes on November II.
Besides the actual new features of
the game which the men picked up in
Australia and New Zealand the fact
that eight of them have been playing
as team for that length of time
should result in an esprit de corps
which the coaches usually secure only
after weeks of training.
The California players on the All
American team who will play with
California this year are: Captain
fullback; d. P. Hardy, B. A.
Swartz. c. A Phleger forwards; A. W.
Elliott and c. e. Allen, e-eighths;
E. l.. Watts and L. M. Norris three
qua arters. OF these Swartz did not
play on the team last year, but was a
wing forward the year before. Morris
was a substitute in the big game last
year and all the rest are veterans,
men who played in TIE positions which
they filed this summer.

Boating May Be Major
Sport at Stanford

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. "a
That rowing will soon resume its for
mer ranking as varsity sport seems
probable from the news given out by
Stanford crew officials. A hard fight
will be made to have 1t placed on the
list of the major sports. The return
of Karl l.. Schaupp, captain elect, has
started interest in rowing again and
it is expected that a larger number of
candidates will be out for the fall prac
tice than ever before.
The outlook for the varsity crew is
the best In long time. All of the
old men, included number of veter
ans, will be on deck, with the possible
exception of three men, Huston. Gill
more and Ditterley. The list of as
pirants for the position of varsity cox
swain is large and will afford one of
the keenest struggles ever held here.
Two former varsity coxswains are here
and two other probable candidates will
also be on hand. Both Husky" Guer-
rena and Bobby" Roberts have led
the cardinal oarsmen to victory in for
mer contests and Les" Howell and
Larry Marx have shown up we'll in
previous races.
1t is pretty definitely settled that the
next race will be held on the Oakland
estuary, the scene of many former con-
tests. Captain Schaupp reports that a
hard fight will be made for eight cared
races over longer course.

KING GEORGE PREPARES
TO Go DEER STALKING
BaImoral Castle to Be Made
More Attractive

Balmoral will, says M. A. p, become
much more of d palace than it was in
the last two reigns. In Queen Vie
toria's time the atmosphere of Bal
moral was. akin to that of large house
where domestic peace predominated.
In King Edwards time the mustiness
was removed to large extent, but his
majesty was so little enamored of the
place that periodically the rumor went
abroad that he wished to dispose of it,
This will certainly not happen under
King George. Already. in anticipation
of his visit, the grounds and interior of
the castle are being vigorously over
hauled,eand the king is having inven-
tories prepared with a view to further
embellishments and improvements The
attraction of course, is the shooting.
Nowhere can the king obtain better
deer stalking, a sport of which he Is
exceedingly fond.

Night Changed to Day
On Baseball Field

CHICAGO, Aug. Exchanging night
into day was enacted last. night at the
New American league baseball grounds
and proved a unique demonstration.
Electricians fairly swarmed around
the park throughout the evening and
10 powerful lights representing 1000,
900 candle power, were turned on with
the result that night became as day
under their powerful glare.
The full force of the lighting plant
was not turned on owing to the in
completeness of the apparatus, only
half of the 30 lamps being in service.
The lamps are operated in pairs. Ten
of them are stationed on the roof OF
the new park, while a like number are
opera ted from the ground.
The first actual attempt to put the
lighting plant to practical use will be
made Thursday night, when the Chi
cago Lacrosse league will open its sea-
son with the Illinois A. G. team Should
the experiment prove successful, the
first baseball match will be played
Saturday night.
