ROME, Dec. 9-Connie Mack, mana
ger of the Philadelphia American league
baseball team, which won the worlds
championship this year. and who is
here on his honeymoon. visited the pope
and the American college and was re-
ceived with much distinction. After
ward he said to The CalTs correspond
ent:
THE boys at the American college,
some $50 of them in all, listened eagerly
to all I had to tell them about the great
victory of the Athletics. In the midst
of my sorry grave prelate in howin g
robes broke in with: oh. Mrs. Mack,
why didn't you place Plank in as
pitcher?
Because I replied, Plank is a left
handler and l felt that the Chicago team
would hit the left handed pitchers But
the question showed such careful study
of the game and such local knowledge
of the team from an onlooker 1900
miles away that l felt that American
baseball had penetrated into Rome, at
least among my countrymen here
How about your visit to the pope?"
The Call correspondent asked Connie
became unusually serious and replied:
His is wonderful personality. He
is at once natural and dignifed, and
without effort carries with him an at
mosphere that is not of this world"

OAKLAND, Dec. <9.-The seniors won
an easy game from the puniors this
afternoon in the lnterclass basket ball
tournament at st. Mary's college with
the score 81 to 6. The team work of
the seniors was responsible for their
victory and the ybid fair to repeat
their performance of last year by win
ming the tournament
Four of last years varsity team form
the bulwark of the graduates team
and this combination should prove suf-
ncient to win Burke at center, Miller
and Russell as forwards and Andiano
at guard represent the sertngth of the
team, and, with a number of second
team men to draw from to fill in the
other place, should have no. trouble in
disposing of their rivals, the freshmen.
Of those tried out today Mccarthy
seems slated for the position by his
work in this game.
For the juniors Jones at forward
threw the only two field goals, while
Leonhardt tossed in two fouls.
Tomorrow the candidates for the first
team will play Mount Tamalpais acad-
About eight men will make the trip,
and as this is the first appearance of

CORN RAISING IS

Merced Farmers Get High Price
for Grain and for the
Husks, Also

MERGED, Dec 9.-Corn raisers in
AIerced county have met with such sue
cess the past few years that an enor-
nous acreage is now planted annually.
With the settlers in Merced colony. a
new tract adjoining the city of Merced,
corn ranks next to alfalfa in popular
ity. Better than 20 bushels to the acre
is an average return, with corn selling
at 81 a bushel
The husks, too, bring in handsome re-
turns, selling at $50 per ton as tanlale
wrappers Mexicans buy and bale these
husks on the ground, thus saving all
expense and bother of marketing A
good field will yield a ton to every two
and half acres, which amounts to sS2
per acre This is a profit which only
the California farmer can take advan-
tage Of for in the east the husks are
discolored by rain and made worthless
The fact that good corn as we'll as
alfalfa can be grown on Merced soil is
giving great impetus to hog raising
in this vicinity. Many of the newcom-
ers are going in for fancy stock w

Willie Ritchie upheld his reputation

decision met with the approval Of the
fans.
Lee startled the house by dropping
Ritchie with a hard right hand punch
in the opening round. It looked bad
t0r the local lad for a minute. but he
managed TO stall out of danger From
that time until the finish he jabbed
Lee hard with his left hand and side
stepped all the latter's rushes. Lee
did not have a lOOkin after the initial
round
George Kirkwood and Charley Rog-
ers. the lighting artist" went four
speedy rounds TO a draw. Both boys
displayed plenty of cleverness, though
ILirkwood seemed TO be a bit more ag-
gressive. However. Rogers did some
very clever blocking and side stepping
and the decision was a fair one, though
il did not seem to suit the gallery at all.
Willie Meehan showed plenty Of clev-
easily earned the decision at the end
Of the fourth round. Kid Toney was no
match for Bob Evans. who put his man
away with a haymaker in the first
round Jimmy Fox outclassed Jerry
SoX. beating him so badly that the bout
was stopped in the third round.
Eddie Madison showed a whole lot
OF his old time cleverness and took
Jimmy Horner down the line in fast
four round contest Madison took the
lead al the outset and held il all the
time. Patsy McKenna had an easy time
with Willie Carter, slowing him away
n two rounds.
The highly touted Jim Kelly, giant
heavy weight, did not put in an ap-
pearance for his tryout with Charley
Miller. His manager announced that
his man had broken his arm while in
training. but the gallery refused to
stand for this excuse.

BOULDER CREEK. Dec. 9.-After
nearly three years of blind pigs and
Illegal liquor traffic Boulder Creek. the
only Incorporated mountain city in
the county, is again to become a wet,
town. The first signs that the lid
was to be lifted were apparent a few
months ago. when the city board of
trustees made it possible for hotels to
serve liquors with meals. The same
board has now taken a final stand by
framing an ordinance. which has been
given its first reading, assuring TO
Boulder Creek return to the day OF
the open saloon. This action is a con-
fession that the dry town has proved
a failure. AS soon as the new ordi-

ago the town had is saloons, but the
number was greatly reduced by high
