Mrs. Mccarthy proudly flashed her
bankroll of crisp notes. She was very
careful not TO reveal her identity to
Moran. but she introduced herself to
promoter Jim Griffin and several of the
well known sporting men who made
the trip over to San Rafael with him.
When she arrived here in the even

Put Up Money for the
Home Team
Especial Dispatch TO The CALI

SAN MATEO, April 22.-San Mateo
has gone baseball mad The success
with which the local team has met
during the few weeks of the present
season has interested practically every
resident of this city, and from now on
San Mateo will have its place on the
baseball map. Games will be arranged
with Newman, Modesto and the other
star independent mines of the state and
San Mateo will not be lacking in
hackers.
Several of the prominent business
men of the city have got together and
raised a fund of $4,000. This money
was spent in erecting a fine new grand
stand and otherwise improving the local
ball park, which now ranks with the
best country ball grounds in the state
The team has been playing together
in great shape and is ready to go UP
against the best of them.

of the fight blow for blow. She would
like very much to be at the ring3ide
to cheer her boy along, but she is
afraid that she would present too con-
spicuous figure there.
The Mccarthy clan is a fighting clan.
John Mccarthy, father of Tommy and
husband of Mrs. Mccarthy, was some
thing of a pugilist himself 20 years
ago. His boys, Tommy, Johnny and
Willie, are also following in his foot

In the event that Tommy beats Moran
Friday night, his father will match
him against the best Iightweights in
the business. There is no question
but that Mccarthy is one of the Invest
lightweig ghts ever turned out in Cali
fornia and he has a chance to become
the champion some day.
Moran is down to II pounds, the hard
work and the hot weather being re-
sponsible for taking off several pounds

him, though he will be bit light for
Mccarthy. The boys are supposed to
weigh in at 1872 pounds at o'clock
on the night of the battle.
Moran went three rounds with Jeff
Perry and three with Jimmy Carroll
yesterday afternoon, and he showed q
world of speed and cleverness. He
wound up his days work by boxing two
rounds with Jackson Mills, a Britisher
of the middle weight variety, who
wanted ito do bit of sparring."
Jackson took a few in the stomach
in the second round and then beat 1T.
The referee for the Mccarthy Moran
fight probably will be selected on Mon
day evening. Jim Griffin, the man
who is running the club, some time
ago appointed Sam Fitzpatrick as his
official referee.
If the fighters want Sam, all will be
well and good, but if they insist upon
selecting somebody else, then it will be
up to them to pay for his services.

New York, April 20.-Wheat, corn,
 cotton, some of the metals, and those

Potatoes, for instance, are off from 40 to 50 per cent. from the price of last November, and while they do not enter into the speeula- tive market, a drop of that extent cannot be passed over by the middle men and retailers.

DO ALDRICH AND HALE SEE
 HANDWRITING ON THE wALLi'


 Senator A1drich is to retire from the Senate on March 4th next. and i'll health is given as the reason.
 Senator Hale is also to retire on the same date and for the same al- legged reason.
 The Rhode Island Senator has long beeu the real power in the Senate, with the Maine Senator as one of his been devoted in the main to the tarin duties Mr. AIdrich has taken especial care of the woolen and cot ton industries, which MT. Hale has been equally considerate of the prof its of paper making, but both have stood eyer for the highest attainable duties on all commodities.
 Possibly, Insurgency has told them that the period of their usefulness in the process of creating multi-million- aires at the cost of the people has ended They may believe that it is better to retire at the climax of their success than to risk the almost cer- tainty of tariff revision downward i'm stead of upward. and the consequent loss of prestige.
 They will be missed, happily. Few men in high positions have done more than they against the interests of the masses and for the enrich lnent Of the classes. It is extremely aQubtfuI whether any high if man can achieve the power exercised by AIdr1eh for years. Insurgency is too strong and too aggressive to allow any man to step into the Aldrich shoes.
