New ZeaIanders Will MOI
Play Sundays

All chance of seeing the wonderful
New Zealand Rugby football team in
action. on Sunday afternoon was set
tied yesterday when Secretary Edgar
Pomeroy of the California Rugby union
received a. cable from New Zealand
stating that no Sunday games would
be played by the team. and stating
that if the local union insisted on the
game against St Mary's college on
abandoned.
The New Zea1anders have taken rath-
err hasty action on this one particular
game. as it is the only Sunday game
scheduled and was done for the purpose
Of. having the visiting team guests of
the California and Stanford univer-
stiles at the big game between the
two universities on Saturday, Novem-
ber s.
s If New Zealand insists on having this
game cancelled, the union will: make no
objection, as the team will then be
scheduled to play a game in Los An
geles against the University of South
ern California.
The union has taken considerable
pains not to schedule any Sunday
games, but In order to let the New
Zealanders see the California Stanford
game-whfch is one of the greatest
spectacular events of the country-it
was thought advisable to leave Satur-
Zealand, and play the game against
ST Mary's on the next day.
Secretary Pomeroy has cabled to. New
Zealand. acceding to their request but
a letter has also been forwarded ex-
planning the situation and showing the
antipodeans that this one game was
scheduled for their own interest.

SPECIAL PRIZES
FOR NEW RECORDS
Portola Athletic COMMITTEES
Offers Encouragement
for Athletes

The Portola athletic committee yes
terday decided to encourage athletes
to break worlds records in the big Por-
tola games to be held at the Golden
Gate park stadium on October 20, by
Offering a special prize to the value OF
800 to any athlete breaking worlds $
mark.
This award has been made on the d.
rect suggestion of the sporting section
of The Call. The suggestion was made
in the sporting columns last Sunday,
and the, fact brought out that coast
athletes are not given enough encour-
agement to make better performances
than have been customary in the past.
There are many athletes on this coast
who are capable OF world record per-
formances in various events, and the
decision of the PortoIa committee yes
terday will go long way toward en-
couraging the best athletes on the coast
to get into their very best shape for
the meet.
The prize is not confined to any one
particular event. but will be awarded
to any athlete who breaks a world 8
record whether track, field or hurdles.
Should six men break six different rec
ords they will all receive the special
800 prize.
To award such a large prize special
dispensation has to be secured from the
Amateur Athletic union in New York.
and the local, branch will get In touch
with the governing body in New York
az soon as official notification Is re-
ceived from the Portola committee.

BERG ANXIOUS To
SHOW LOCAL FANS
Northwestern Man Faces a
Dangerous Opponent in
Grande Tomorrow

A great slugging match is promised
tomorrow evening at the Pavilion rink
when the husky middle weights, Sailor
Grande and Otto Berg step around in
a four round bout Both have slug
ging regulations and the fans there
fore look for a knockout, but they are
bit dubious about picking the win
ner.
Grande has. been showing remark
able form during the last few months.
He has won the majority of his bat
ties via the knockout route and he is
considered in line to~face the best of
them. But he must put the northwest
ern lad out of the way first. SO his
coming mixup with Berg may be re-
garded as the most important one of
his career. If he wins. he will stand a
chance of going ahead. but IL he loses.
he must fall back among the bush per-
formers.
The sailors opponent has not
started here in several months, pr1nci-
pally because none of them has
shown willingness to meet him.
When he was in the running, he
proved good card, for he is game
and willing and a pretty good puncher.
This is his one sweet opportunity to
show the fans and So it will be UP to
him to come through with the best
that he has.
The winner ought to stand chance
to get on with either Bob McAllister
or Sailor Petroskey. Good middle
weights ire very scarce on the Pacific
coast at the present time and the east
ern performers do not seem to want
to come out here. Therefore. 1t is up
to the promoters to develop home tall
ent. especially among the big fellows
who seem 10 be falling off day by day.
The veteran feather weight, Harry
Baker, is going to make an attempt
to come back against Lee Johnson OF
Oakland. The latter is a good, live
boy who can box and hit, so 1t looks
as though Baker will have plenty to
do. The old timer Is still clever and
the rushes of his younger opponent re-
mains to be seen Anyhow. he should
make good defensive battle.
Two other fast feather weights,
Henry Hickey of Oakland and Carl
Goubatz, product of the Columbia
club, arc in line to do some fast
smuggling. Goubatz holds a four round
decision over Hickey and if he turns
the trick again he is entitled to a
iioit IHlpoi tdiit iba VII Ia sAio HSoi
future.
The lightweight attraction will be
furnished by Young Abe Attell of Den
yer and Kid Exposito, the northwestern
boy who has been doing so we'll around
here of late. These boys are good slug
gers who like the rough and tumble
game.
The other bouts are as follows: Sol
dier Wilson VS.. Mike Mcclure, middle
weights; frankie Jones VS.. Young
Papke, lightweights; George Lawrence
VS.. Harry Burgess. lightweights; Kid
Ray VS.. Eddie Foley. bantam weights

Kahanamoku May Attempt
to Make Record


Duke Kahanamoku will possibly be
given an opportunity to break the
worlds so yard swimming record at
Sutro tank. Preliminary arrangements
were started yesterday with view of
arranging a race for the duke to be
held at Sutro baths on Sunday, August
10. The race will be sanctioned by the
Pacific association and will be open to
all registered amateurs. AL Cooney has
the matter in hand and will announce
the arrangements during the week.
While Kahanamoku swan so yards
in % 1-5 seconds at Santa Cruz last
Sunday, the time can not be officially
recognized owing to the fact that there
were not enough time Keepers on the
event The time made by the duke is
two fifths of second better than Wick
hams record made in Australia.
There is not the least doubt that
Kahanamoku can break the record IL
given the opportunity He will pos
siblys be opposed by Ernie Smith, the
local champion; Nixon, Masten, Lind
say and others of the local colony
Cooney plans to have the regular Of
ficials of the Pacific association at the
race and everything will be done to
conform with the A. A. U. Jaws.

IRELAND P|TTED
AGAINST AUSTRIA
international Tug of War to
Be Fought Out at Shell
Mound Park

An international tug of war will be
tionally attractive program of sports
which will enliven the twenty-seventh
annual picnic of the Rebel Cork Benev-
olent association at Shell Mound park
next Sunday.
Ireland and Austria are to be pitted
against each other in the big strain.
and the crews of brawny giants who
have been selected to represent their
fellow counrrvmen are we'll fitted to
inspire a tumult of patriotic pride.
All of them are trained athletes who
have participated in many hard
fought tug. and each is noted for his
high power prowess.
The local Austrian colonies on both
sides of the bay will send big delega-
| tions of rooters to the picnic to cheer
on their favorites, while a tremendous
gathering of Irish h-Americans from all
parts of the state Will sound the battle
yells of the Emerald Isle.
The Irish team consists. of Patrick
Lynch, captain; Dennis Lucey. Daniel
Leary. Joe Walsh ]. Smith, Al Gotten
and John Naish, substitute.
The Austrian tuggers are Joseph
Blut, captain; George Radal Joseph
Debelak, John Jurisich, Steve Derango
and M. Judnich
The rival teams have met once be-
fore in an international contest held
in San Francisco. The Irish team cap
tured second honors on that occasion
and the Austrians finished third but
the advantage of the former was
slight that the question of supremacy
was not satisfactorily settled and the
teams decided to have it out again
A special feature Will be contest
for the championship of Ireland be-
tween athletes representing the vari-
Gus counties of the old country Rep
resentatives of Cork. Kerry, Waterford,
Limerick, Kilkenny, Mayo, Meath and
Donegal counties will compete.

IN GOLDEN GATE PARK
The Portola championship meet will
be held on the Golden Gate park courts
and it is certain that the attendance
will set a new record, with the leading
stars of the west participating.
Most of the entrants are Golden Gate
Tennis club members, developed by w.
r. Doc,) Marvin, who is laying out
the plans for the big welcome to be
given Mclaughlin when he returns to
his home town.
Probably no stronger tennis card
could be arranged the country over,
week with its California players.
Johnston and c. Gardner last year
captured the doubles championship for
central California at Stockton. in the
same meet in which Mclaughlin won
/! the singles title.
Johnston and Fottrell won the Ore

BUNDY AND LONG
Bundy and Long are preparing to
make a big showing at the Portola

"This feature of the Portola athletic
carnival will be one of the biggest
drawing cards of the kind presented In
the west for years said Chairman
Hammersmith yesterday. Like all the
other athletic events. the contest will
be for the Portola championships and
the Portola cups.
1T is going to be crackerjack ten
mis- layout but 1t will be in no wise
superior to every other phase of the
Portola games. San Francisco is go

nament on record during the big cele-
bration next fall.

who does not measure corn fed to MS

DEFENDING THE a."
burlington Hawkeye.l


The esteemed Washington County
Press is still valiantiy proving tina.
there is an invisible government
Among other things in proof of this 1t
makes the following interesting state
ment:
when Mr.. Hill took the Burlington
railroad as a reward for his effort IN
taking it he just doubled s101,O0O.ooo
of stock and converted 1t into bonds.
This enabled him and his associates
to put s1o7,000,0o0 Of brand new bonds
into their private pockets and forever
afterwards charge the people who ride
Of the Burlington railroad and ship
freight over it, interest upon this enor-
nous sum-"
There is trouble with the logic OF the
Press, as Is always the case Wneh
argument is based on misinformatlon.
The sale Of the Burlington system was
at double its nominal worth because
under the splendid management OF It's
old executives 1t had grown to such
valuable piece Of railroad property that
the purchasers were glad TO pay 2oo
cents on the dollar for it. The new
owners Of the stock were amply repaid
for their investment by the earning
qualities of the road. and those VINO
sold the stock profited we'll by the
splendid deal that was made for theM'
many Of them having bought the
stock OF the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy company. when 1t was valued
at about As cents on the dollar.
Mr.. Hill did not buy the road. Thou
sands Of investors did, and they olo
not charge the people more for riding
on the road. In fact. after the transfer
of stock and bonds was made the STATE
Of Iowa. and other communicating
thru which the road passed. reduced
the rate which the people have to pay
70 ride on the Burlington trains from
2 10 . cents a mile. The freight rates
are also less. How then does Mr.. Hill.
or whoever owns the present stock ano
bonds Of the Burlington system, com
pel the dear people to pay interest On
any enormous sum? Would not the
patrons Of the road pay just as much
or more, If the property we're In the
hands OF the previous owners?
I. is all right for newspaper -
state facts, no matter how unpleasant
thew may be. But it is highly I'M
proper for it to draw misleading con-
clusoins, by which to influence people
to believe there Is an invisible gov
eminent" of some kind somewhere.
