California Fifteen
First to Cross the

The California university ruggers
were the first to score on the New
Zealand All-Blacks. True. the blue
and gold tailed one try, or three
points, to 3S scored by the New Zea-
anders in Saturdays game, but that
three points means considerably more
to local football than it does to the
visitors.
The game was not the best exhibit
tion Of Rugby that has been seen on
California field and the New Zealand
ers did not appreciate the strenuous"
work Of the varsity team. The Cali
fornia team started out with an ag-
gressive inclination and held the New
Zealanders to an to 0 score at the
end of the first period, which is the
smallest score so far tailed in any
game by the New Zealanders in a first
half of play.
In the second half. for some unex-
planned reason. the varsity team pre-
sumably allowed the New Zealanders
to score two tries without any oppo-
sition. Graham scored the first of
these tries from the result Of long
kick by the New Zealand fullback.

night. Jess Baker. who finished up
the season by pitching winning

started OF for his home in Stella

pressed his wishes to be turned over
to some other club next season. He
believes that he will be able to show
up better outside of this city, and II
is likely that Howard will use him in
deal when he goes east to attend
the baseball meetings.
There is no player in the league
who seems to have more on the ball
than Baker. but he can not win. He
is an excellent hitter and would be a
valuable outfie1der for any club.

Insists on Weighing In at
3 O'clock for New
York Bout

NEW YORK, Oct. 27. - Mike Gib-
bons' attitude as to a match with
Packey Mcfarland remains in doubt.
Mcfarland is willing to meet him at
145 pounds ringside. but Gibbons has
been quoted as favoring that weight
at o'clock in the afternoon. Man.
ager Gibson of the Garden Athletic
club intends to talk the matter over
with Gibbons and his manager when
they arrive later in the week. and IL
they will accept Packey's terms the
much talked of match will be a cer-
tainty.
Freddie Welsh. the British light
weight champion, who is here. is
ready to talk business with any of the
lightweights. But naturally he pre-
fers a bout with Ritchie. AS matter
of fact. so much has been published
about Ritchies refusal to go ahead
with his match with Welsh in Van
couver last month that the American
champion will be placed on the de-
fensive by Welsh's renewed challenge
Welsh says he is ready to sign ar
ticles to box Ritchie 10 rounds In this
city within six weeks, or he will agree
to meet the American I'm a 20 round
bout either In California or in Lon
don. An international championship
contest between these bitter rivals
would prove gold mine in this city
1t is understood that the Garden A. c.
is ready to offer 55 per cent OF the
gross receipts if the men will sign
articles.
Jim Corbett never misses chance
to see Packey Mcfarland when he
hoxes here. Corbett says that Packey
is the cleverest man in the ring and
that he ought to be allowed to make
1875 pounds at 3 o'clock as con-
tender for the lightweight title. Cen
tleman Jim also believes that Packey
could whip Gibbons at 145 pounds

Athletes Set Records
Judges Make a Mistake
BY WILLIAM UNMAcK

Don Gaspar, the numerous queens
of the Portola celebration. the pa
rades and other incidents connected
with the celebration are now things
of the past. The past. however, is
something that will not be forgotten
In a hurry. and one OF the most lin
gering remembrances from a sporting
point of view will be the wonderful
track and field meet held at the sta
dtum Saturday afternoon.
The Portola championship meet was
one of the best track and field meets
ever conducted on the Pacific coast.
One worlds record, two coast records
and one district record were tae final
tallies Of smashing stunts when the
athletes got through.
Though successful from practically
every point OF view. there was one
error of judgment in the placing of
the runners in the half mile race
which no explanations can justify.
Mcclure of Oregon, Cuendette of the
University OF California and Bennett
of Stanford are the three athletes
who were in the finish in question.
The judges gave the race to Nc
Clure. Cuendette was right on Nc
Clure's elbow and to many the race
looked a dead heat, while Ronnett at
the best was a yard behind the two
men fighting out for first place.
RANK DECISION HURTS
Mcclure may have won the race.
On that point there Is no dispute, as
the judges were in better position
to see whether he breasted the tape
a few inches to the good or not. but
the placing Of Bennett second was
the rankest, rawest and most unjusti-
fable decision that has ever been
handed to a public in any part of the
country
Bennett. like true sportsman, ad-
mitted that he WAS beaten. On the
other hand, Cuendette in the same
spirit of good sportsmanship refused
to make a protest on the Injustice OF
the decision. Cuendette took his
medicine like man.
To show the decision was rank. II
Is only necessary to take a glance at
the numerous photographs OF the
finish Every photo shows Mcclure
and Cuendette breasting the tape
yard to the bad. There can be no ex-
cuse on the part OF the judges az to
mistaken Identity as the error was
pointed out to several of them irnme-
diately after the announcement, but
no move was made to correct the
error 1t has remained for the pho-
tographs to come out and give Cuen-
dette his just deserts.
DONOvAN,s GREAT WORK
The breaking OF Con We1sh's
worlds record with the 56 pound
weight over the bar by Pat Donovan
with a new mark of is feet ~ inches
was one OF the meritorious perform-
ances of the meet. for which, besides
his first prize gold medal. Pat Is en-
titled to receive the 800 trophy Of

world record.
Donovan was in his best form and

ease as a star would toss round q

while the Seals were at home. The
last few months. and though their po-
sition In the race is not one to brag
about, Manager Howard is to be con-
graduated on what ne accomplished
handed at the outset of the season.
If the Seals had started off with
the club that represents our fair city
now they would undoubtedly have
been the contenders. They were only
nosed out of third place and Sacra-
mento clubs lead for second honors
Is very slight.
The race this season in the Pacific
Coast league had the fans guessing
all the time. In the early part the
Oaks played good ball and it looked
as If the 1912 pennant winners were
the tossers to beat. After the season
ran along for a few months Los An
geles maintained q streak that indi-
Gated that the southern club would
surely be a contender for the honors.
Shortly before July Los Angeles
had a big lead. and the fans were
willing to. proclaim them pennant
winners.
The Seals started to climb. and
reached second place, but the effort
told, and Howard's men cracked and
started to slide. The continued to
drop until last place was reached.
Then 1t was apparent that the club
was in need of Strengthening, and
new players were obtained.

Clarke and overall were purchased,

for the record Donovan got the
weight nearly a foot above the bar.
but on coming down 1t took the cross
piece away each time. 1t was on the
last attempt that the Pastime giant
did the trick. and 1t was clean cut
throw that got tho pill over.
Jimmy Power OF the Boston Athletic
association was another hero of the
meet. His 4:2s 3-5 for the mile under
the conditions was remarkable. Power
only arrived in the city Thursday
night. and the heavy fog last week
prevented him working out. He went
on the track Saturday with a spike
for the first time in eight days.
Bobby vlught and Slim Wilson Of
Stanford were the only two men able
to give the national champion race,
and they sure gave him q good argu-
ment. vlught and Wilson have never
run better in competition than they
did on Saturday and are deserving Of
lot of credit for the fight they made
against Power.
WOOD SHOWS SPEED
Harry Wood. former captain OF the
University of California, ran his two
miles in championship form and set
up a new Pacific coast record of 3
minutes AZ 3-5 seconds. Wood and
Millard ran great race. and 1t was
only In the last lap that Wood gained
the advantage that gave him O coast
mark
Bill Chambers. the famous British
Columbia five miller lived up to his
great reputation by breaking his own
Pacific coast Ave mile record and set
ting new figures OF rs minutes 20 4-5
seconds. Chandler proved himself to
be one of the best distance men ever
seen in local competition, and IL the
measurement of the course Is correct,
the record is one that will compare
favorably with five mile cross coun-
try in any part of the world.
In the start of the 100 yards final
Grant OF Stanford unfortunately broke
better than two yards on the gun and
won. The lad showed his spirit by
Immediately asking that the race be
rerun and apologizing for his break
ing. The of1icials. however. would
not allow the event to be run over
The big surprise was the failure OF
the worlds champion hurdler, Fred
Kelly, to come through. Kelly made
the mistake OF his life in attempting
the 100 yard dash when he had such
seasoned campaigner as John Case
against him in the high sticks. Case
ran a beautiful race and topped the
hurdles in rare form, clearing them
neatly and not touching the sticks.
