SANTACLARA BOYS
OUTPLAY STANFORD
Timely Home Runs by Porter
field and MCGOVern Settle an
Interesting Game
Special Dispatch 10 The Call

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 10
The cardinal varsity nine was humbled
by the speedy Santa Clara team here
this afternoon by a score of Z. to A.
Though ragged in spots because of lack
of practice by both teams. the game
was an interesting one throughout and
held the spectators on the anxious seat
until the last man had been retired.
Santa Clara. punched its hits when hits
meant runs and this tells the story of
a well earned victory.
Stanford took the lead at the outset
landing freely on the delivery of Ag-
new, the young Santa Clara pitcher
who is being tried out. 1t looked as
though the cardinals had the game
in the hole for the first five innings. but
then sudden change was worked and
the tide of victory turned.
Santa Clara began to warm up to
the offerings of Pitcher Reed in the
sixth. Hit after hit went through the
infield and these, aided by some bad
fumbles by the cardinal players, en-
abled the Jesuit college boys to roll up
four runs. In the very next inning
there was another rally and before the
cardinal tossers could get their bear
1ngS the Santa Clara boys had put three
more tallies over and the game was
practically clinched.
The batting sensations of the game
were PorterfieId and McGovern of
Santa Clara. Both of them pounded
out homers in the sixth and seventh
innings These hits came at oppor-
tune times and undoubtedly saved the
day for Santa Clara. After his team
mates rallied behind him and forged
into the lead young Agnew settled
down and pitched fine ball. holding the
Stanford hitters safe in the tight
places. The score:

ST. MARY'S TEAM
WORK WINS GAME
Oakland College Basket BaHers
Have No Trouble i'm DispOs-
. ing of Snfa CIarans

The basketballers of St Mary's coll
lege had no trouble in disposng of
their friends from Santa Clara yester-
day afternoon in the gymnasium of the
Oakland college. The score. AZ to 49,
tells just what manner of game it was
and makes comment almost superfiuous
The experts present-and there were
a good many of them-were unanimous
in declaring that the strong point of
the Oaklanders was their effective team
work And the strong point of St
Mary's was the weak point of Santa
Clara. The southern collegians showed
pluck and endurance, but they were
severely handicapped by lack of con-
sistent team work.
For the victors, Fieberling at center
put up fine game. and to him the
large score piled up by St Marys is
largely due. Russell, who PLAYED dur
ing the first half and for most of the
second spasm, was also very much in
evidence, being especially noted for his
quickness and his facility for covering
ground.
Captain Ray of Santa Clara scored
probably the most sensational plays
OF the day when he threw two field
goals under unusually difficult circum-
stances. He was very much in the
game throughout and put up splendid
fight in the face of sure defeat
A large crowd of rooters for both COL
leges was in attendance and contrib
uted in no slight degree to the Interest
of the oca sion. In the evening the
jubilant sons of st. Mary's held a cele
bration on the campus and in the gym
nasium.
The second game of the intercollegi-
ate series will be played at Santa Clara
next Saturday. Should the southern
college win this contestant the unex-
pected sometimes happens third
game will be played early in March

for me to know this. In fact, you
know my style better than any of
Them
"All right, Bat, we will let it go at
that replied Smith. 1T will be the
regular straight marquis of Queens
berry rules, with both of you protect
ing yourselves at all times and no
holding. 1 know that you don't hold,
and for this reason it is not necessary
for me to caution you against that
sort of thing. But remember I'll be
watching all the time
REFEREE INTERPRETS THE RULES
Smith had talk with Wolgast over
the rules a few days ago and the way
he interpreted them seemed to suit the
German to a nicely. Wolgast is a
fighter very much after Nelson's own
style. All he wants is chance to
wade in and tear. In his fight with
Powell he did not hold. All he seems
to be afraid of this time is that he
will be fouled.
Il don't think that there will be a
chance for a foul" said Smith. Both
these men know the game from to z
and | don't think that either is look
ing to win on a foul. They are easy
to handle and all they want is a
chance to be allowed to go ahead and
fight. Believe me, ! will not interfere
as they obey the rules"
The work on the arena is still being
rushed. The structure was all but
completed last evening, but an extra
force of men will be put to work this
morning so that all the minor details
may be worked out without loss of
time. Those who have seen it pro-
nounce the arena the finest that has
ever been constructed on the Pacific
coast
There will be seating capacity of
about 10000. sc that nobody need worry
about getting a good seat The con-
tractors have arranged for six big turn
stile gates, which can be operated with
lightning like rapidity. The road lead
ing up to the arena has been macad-
emized and rolled and will be in good
shape on the afternoon of the great
battle.
PRAYING FOR SUNSHINE
The advance sale of seats for the
fight goes merrily on. Promoter Sid
Hester is sure that the gate receipts
will exceed 100000, provided that the
rain stays off, and everybody connected
with the affair is diligently praying for
sunshine on Tuesday. 1t has not rained
on Washington's birthday for the last
six years. so conditions look favorable.
Both Nelson and Wolgast will go
Each has engaged cottage close to
the arena. The men will weigh in a
few minutes before 2:30 o'clock when
the fight is billed to start AS both
are under the required notch now.
there is no danger that either will be
compelled to forfeit his $1,000 which is
I'D for weight and appearance.

MORE GOOD WORK.

The Herald takes off it's hat to the
fire department again today. An
alarm called the men out this morn
ing at 8 o'clock, and the fire was To-
Gated in the three story building oc-
cupied by the st. Florence Hotel, in
the center of block of brick houses.
The fire had gained great Roadway be-
fore the alarm was given and before
the company could respond. But with
efficient work and good water pres
sure the fire was confined to the hotel
building, and extinguished without
very great damage to the walls of
that building. Considering the equip
ment they have for fighting fire, and
the limited number of men, the COM
pany does great work, and the people
of the city should appreciate such an
organization. The fire company is en-
titled to the very best equipment that
can be provided. Boys, you are all
right all the time.

To all other countries the rate is five

SHOULD BE MADE LAW.

Many people are contending that
Mr.. Colquitt should resign as railroad
commissioner to make the race for
governor Many thought he should
have resigned four years ago when he
made the same campaign. But he did
not resign, and he will not He says
people have been running for one of
flee while holding another in Texas
for many years without stirring up
any opposition to such course. Mr.
Colquitt fails or refuses to see the
question involved from the right
angle. Governor Hogg, the author of
the railroad commission idea in Texas,
said years ago that only one danger
was possible in connection with the
commission and that was in allowing
it to become involved in politics. The
lamented governor opposed the cleo
ton of the commissioners on this

ground. The Herald will not charge
that Mr.. Colquitt is in any way max
ing his present office an asset in his
race for the governorship. But, it
cannot be denied that the tendency is
there and that it could be so used.
And because this is so there should
be law passed absolutely removing
the commission from such danger
The law could be made to provide that
any man elected as railroad commits
sioner for six years could not stand
for any other office in the gift of the
people for from two to four years after
his term as commissioner expired.
The railroad commission is strictly a
business organization and should
never be permitted to become a po-
litical machine.

NO CHANCE FOR PoINDExTER.

Tom Ball and Tom Jones and GU
Shaw and some other gentlemen Wit
are Bailey adherents before they are
anything else-and we say that in al
kindness-have issued an address il
behalf of Judge Poindexter.
But they are wasting both time ant
effort, and why?
Because the prohibitionists know
that the legislature will not submit
the question of constitutional
amendment unless driven thereto ny
the statutory prohibition club, and
Cone Johnson is the only candidate
who promises to WELD that club.
Therefore, the logic of the situa.
ton, insofar as prohibitionists are
concerned, is with Johnson and
against Poindexter
Messrs Ball and Jones and Shaw
and the others arrived on the scene
too late to stop the prohibitionist
stampede to Johnson, and their only
chance to help Mr. Bailey is to throw
their influence to Colquitt-Waco

THE LAanl

Time is getting along, and if you
expect to be counted as one of the
population of your city, state and ma
ton, you will have to get busy. Don't
be Indifferent and think you are only
one and one more or less will make no
difference. There may be a number
who think that way, and the number
counts from the big total.
1t is important in many ways to get
full count. 1t helps Palestine in a
variety of ways to make the best
showing possible. Investments are
often based on population, and the re-
suits show in many ways. 1t is really
so little trouble to be counted that all
people should come in.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Scotch Oats is the best of all
foods; it is also the cheapest. When
suchmenas Prof. Fisherof Yale Univer-
sity and Sir James Crichton Browne,
Ii. DE-. RS. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and Strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
perlments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
caters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Scotch Oats. The powers of
endurance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of it and
eat it frequently. 50
