MRS. HARTMAN BUYS A BANK
She Owns a Majority of the Stock of
the Night and Day.


New York, Jan. 1S.-Mrs. Il. II. Har-
riman has acquired a stock majority
of the Night and Day bank and will
interest herself in the conduct of its
affairs, becoming the first woman of
this city personally to own a financial
institution.
Il. ii. Hartman always held a sub.
stantial interest in the Night and Day
bank, but 1t never amounted TO con-
troll. The 90 .-;sition Of 4lfficient ad.
ditional shares to give an actual stock
majority has been Of recent date. The
stock was bought privately from the
estate of Charles II. Barney.
While Mrs. Harriman's interest in
the bank will be active, 1t will not
necessarily result in the taking away
of all discretion from the management
Friends OF Mrs. Hartman say that
the stories recounting her laborious
application to and personal superin-
tendence OF all details relating to the
management Of the Hartman estate
are exaggerated.

those who did not go in for athletics
graduated. while 50 per cent of the
athleticaIly inclined students won their
sheepskins.

TEACHERS DISCUSS
SANfR ATHLETICS
Plan THterSecfiOHaI Contests to
Do Away With Bitterness
Between Schools

The High School teachers club held
meeting at the Moulder school yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of
passing resolutions on the propositions
in regard TO athletics advanced by the
board of the State high school asso-
citation in December.
Brief talks on athletics were given
by f. a. Clark. A. J. Cloud, F. Z. Crofts
and Hudson Sheldon and others.
Clark advanced the theory that the
cure for athletics was more athletics.
but along new lines, in defense of
which he read a few paragraphs from
an eastern authority. In brief he
stated that athletics and sport are two
different things. one being work the
other play, athletics as they now exist
in the schools Of California being two
spectacular. too strenuous and too eX-
elusive, with too much grandstand play
and too little participation.
The strenuous rivalry of the various
teams. the bitterness and also the finan-
cial side of the proposition came un-
der discussion.
After two hours of argument no def
mite conclusions were reached The
argument will be brought up at an
other meeting of the club later in the
year
As a result of the stirring up the sub
ject has been given. however. there will
be an intersectional contest this spring
From eight schools will be picked men
for the team. and il will compete with
interschool teams from other parts of
the state This, it is hoped, will bring
about a better feeling and do away
with some of the bitterness and enmitv
at present existing between the pupils
of the different schools of the state

son. With the king of bushers. Jimmie

coIIegians are exceedingly bright The
fans predict a great struggle between
Santa Clara and the local students
when they clash in the fight for the
pennant
The old ST Ignatius infield has been
shaken almost TO its foundations. Cap
tain Giannini. the local amateur will
hold down third. This youngster bat

has been sent by Byrnes TO play short
He is fast and accurate and bids fair
to develop a good fat batting average
In two games with the All Star pro
fessionals, which St. Ignatius captured.
Kirby did some good stick work. Flood
is playing a great second. Ping Ryan
is on the initial sack.
The st. Ignatius catcher is still an
open question. Several are putting up
a hard fight.
Cid Levy, Joe Monille and Dorland
will do slab duty. Levy is great
pitcher and is getting better control
every day. Monille is a great favorite
of Dick" Egan- Dorland is well kRwn
for. his burst of speed. He's a strike
out artist. These three are fairly good
batters and so when Dorland or Levy
are not in the box they will occupy
center field
Fay Brown is appointed TO right.
while Vim Butler will hold down the
left garden.
The wearers of the red and blue are
determined to win their share of the
baseball honors this year. Games have
been arranged with Santa Clara, Berke-
ley, the Olympic club, the All Stars and
a number of other teams.
Next Saturday the first intercollegiate
game between Santa Clara and st. Ig-
