SANTA CLARA. May 24.-Practically
everything is in readiness for the in
tercollegiate track meet to be held on
the Santa Clara field Saturday between
Santa Clara and st. Mary's colleges.
Two have been rounding into shape
for the last two months and judging
from past performances the event is
going to be very evenly contested.
st. Mary's enthusiasts place conf
dence in their teams ability to take the
majority of points in the field events,
especially in the weights. In track
events they figure that they have an
equal break.
Santa Clara pins her faith in the
track events.
According to the exchange list made
between Brother Joseph of st. Mary's
and Manager McCabe the following
eligibles were agreed upon:

BAKER TOO FAST
FOR dan WEBSTER
Little Harry Gives Wonderful
Exhibition i'm Bout With
Tough S0ufherner

Harry Bakers wonderful cleverness
won him a merited 10 round decision
over Danny Webster in the main event
of the Oakland wheelmen show last
night. Baker put up one of the best
fights ever seen across the bay and the
fans were all standing on their chairs
and roofing for him at the finish. There
was not much force behind any of his
blows, but his leads and his defense
were little short of marvellous and he
never slowed down during the entire
10 rounds. Webster was clearly out
fought.
Bakers chief stock in trade was a
fast left hand shoot. Occasionally he
would bring the right over, especially
in the clinches, but this punch did not
carry with it the force or the sting
which the other mitt always was noted
for. Bakers blocking was very spec
tacular and save in two rounds Web
ster was never able to lay a glove on
his opponent.
Baker started off in the first round
by dancing all around Webster and jab-
bing him hard. In fact it was nothing
but Baker for the first five rounds. In
the sixth and seventh Webster rushed
and rallied, but Baker came back in
the last three rounds and had it all to
himself. EuuiO OIllllu ucCISlOn pledSeQ
everybody. In fact there was no
other to render.
The special event between Gunboat
Smith and Jack Geyer of Denver was
a very disappointing affair, neither
of them showing any class. Smith looks
to have gone back 100 per cent, but
bad as he was he proved good enough
to earn a six round decision over the
Denverite. Willie O'Neil, the clever
IferI, ;-rI,+
round verdict over Chuck Larsen in a
fast mill. Both of them gave good
account of themselves.
Freddie Couture and frankie Sulli-
van went six rounds to draw. This
was also a good fight, Couture show
ing more class, but lacking the ag-
gressiyeness of his opponent. In the
curtain raiser Bud Fitzpatrick and
Toby Miller waltzed six rounds, Miller
gaining the verdict.

MELCH0IR ANNEXES
OPENER FOR SEALS
Big Swatter Elevates Spheroid Over
Fence at Right Moment
By JOSEPH MURPHY

Mr Henry Melchoir. the gentleman
who graces the outheId for the Seals,
was the big noise yesterday in the
P opening conflict Of the series at Recrea-
tion park, between the champions and
The Angels. It was a nice performance
of Mers. but rather an unkind act
4 toward Pitcher Briswalter, who would
Mot do anything worse to a ball player
than 10 strike him out four or five times
during a game, or hit him in the Stats
with the sphere. Mel waited until
the bases We're occupied in the third
frame and then sOused the ball out of
the lot and won the game right there.
The Angels worked hard TO win, but
one run was all they could get. while
five came to the Seals.
Frank Miller handled the situation
for the Seals. and while the Angels
annexed nine hits off his delivery, he
took pains TO see that they did not
gather too many in any one inning.
When II came to a pinch, Miller curled
q bewildering line Of benders around
the necks Of the enemy and they fell
like a lot Of tin soldiers.
His work was particularly brilliant
in pinches for he was in several holes,
from which he eXtrfcated himself in
clever fashion.
Briswalter started to do the tossing
for the southern bunch, but that rap
Of MeIchoir's earned him place with
the unemployed. He Joined his fellow
players in conservation for the re-
mainder Of the afternoon.
Crfeger. who possesses a famous base
ban name was picked by Captain Dill
lon as a ripe pumpkin 10 finish out the
session. Briswalueris successor deals
from the of side. and he seemed to be
there. as he finished the game by al
lowing just three hits.
The run column was bare until the
third fra me was reached. Briswalter
tried 10 feed Miller on bad ones and
he earned his way to first by having
patience. Shaw selected ripe one
and punched out a single. Briswalter
showed that he was a good fellow by
handing Witt a walk. II was at this
49, ge Of the contest that Melchoir took
ffhe calcium. The eyes of the fans
were upon him and they gave him all
the encoura cement. He responded like
a warrior Of old by leaning his chunky
frame up against one that was not
beu-ildering and raising il over the
right field fence. Every body In the
park glued their eyes 10 the ball as II
sailed over the fence but the Angels.
Tbev. realized what had happened when
the ball left Mels bat.
The Seals put over another run in
the ffth. BOdie was given walk
and Lewis reached first on Roth's error.
Berry came through with single over
short and Bodie registered.
The Angels saved themselves from
The brush in the sixth frame Bernard
singled and Howard walked. Both ad-
vanced on Dilions out. Bernard scored
on Murphy's out.
The Angels mana ged to get hit on
Miller in every inning but the seventh
frame, but he was an enigma IN the
tight piaces Score:

The Pacific athletic association will
hold its regular monthly meeting to-
night and will take up the project OF
organizing county athletic leagues
James E. Sullivan, secretary president
of the Amateur athletic union, has
written a letter to the local associa-
tion, in which he says in part:
The time is now ripe, owing to
the growth of organized athletics
to have county athletic leagues
properly organized and controlled
to work with the Amateur athletic
union. Therefore could we ask of
you TO call together the prominent
workers of your various counties
and orSenizeg athletic leagues,
interested in playground work,
public school, high school, Sunday
school athletics, church and settle
ment, military and college athletics.
This league can control all the
athletic activities of the district,
and its members can compete
among themselves without regis
tration or sanction from the A A
u, as they are a league of in
dividual athletes.
Our suggestion for county ath1 1stic
leagues is to encourage the boys of
interior counties mainly.
/ would recommend that the
county clerk of each county call
the meeting and elect a board of
governors composed of the prom
inent businessmen of your district
and the prominent clergymen.
