CALIFORNIA HAS HARD
' SCHEDULE THIS SEASON

BERKELEY, Cal, Aug. "a
Coach Andy Smith, of the University
of California, has announced that
football practice for the Golden
Bears will begin September IS. The
annual interclass battles will take
up most Of the time until the first
workout for the varsity Is held.
Smith is a firm believer in interclass
and intermural contests, for the rea'
son that they give the coaches a
chance to see men in action who
would not otherwise appear on the
athletic field.
The eleven will face one of the
hardest schedules in its history this
fall, with nine games. Beginning
with the opening game on Septem-
ber 80, when Santa Clara will face
the Bear in his own lair, the Cali
fornians will have a real battle on
their hands every Saturday until the
big game on November 25.
On October the University of
Redlands will play at Berkeley for
the first time. Coach Madigan will
bring his eleven from st. Mary's on
the following Saturday.
The regular conference season will
start on October 2S, when California
meets the University of Southern
California at Pasadena. Then will
come Washington State College, the
University of Nevada and the great
battle in the Stanford Stadium.

Gordon Mackay Calls Atten-

By GORDON MACKAY.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-Far
afield does the grandoldope often
stray and wander. And II a man
who has been in baseball the great
er part of his life is unable to dope
the pennant races, how come the
poor but honest layman should be
held guilty II he boots one occa-
sionally.
Consider for the nonce the chap
ter penned this season by Wash
ington. Years ago the favorite joke
of the circuit was Washington, first
in war, first in peace and last in
the American League.
But since the regime of Clark
Griffith this hardy perennial in
the line of jests has become a
chestnut. To return to our lamb
chops, as the French say.
When the writer was in Eagle
Pass, Tex. watching the Athletics
pile up charley horses, sore eyes.

Connie Mack picked Washington to
be up there fighting the Yankees
and Browns for the grand old
flag.

given to the writer by the lean
leader. Griff has great team
there and right now Washington
looks like the strongest club in the
league"
Right now-this was in March
Washington might have looked
like the strongest club. But not
since. The Griffmen are trailing in
the ruck. There are only two
reasons Why they are not deco
ra ting last place-the Athletics and
the Red Sox.
But the point that we wish to
hammer home IL that IL Connie
Mack couldn't dope things better
than this at the start of the season,
what becomes of the stuff peddled
by the so-called "experts?" 1t looks
at this distance to be all wet, not
to say drenched.

From present indications the War
team looks to have a fine edge
in the Section A series. Pfeil and

edge along to the satisfaction OF
the War players. Reverses to the
Shipping Board have been surpris'
ing. Southern has been unable to
muster its full strength. while
Grace A. c. has hardly got going
Valuations is putting up good ar.
ticle of ball but is falling to get
the necessary runs for wins.
The Section b games have hardly
gotten under way. Western Union
wa sto have started against the
Standar doll tribe on Monday but
the executive c5mmittee decided
that the final game OF the Western
Union~Postal Telegraph argument
must be settled.
There is no telling who Is the
best club OF the B teams until
several engagements have been
played. Standard Oil and General
Accounting Office appears to be a
bit stronger than Registers or the
Commercial and Merchants en-
tries.
Tomorrow's games are as follows

The team struggling along with
only one reliable hurler puts heavy
burden on the manager. Ike Thomp-

Sherwood team, has that problem.
His star pitcher is Tom Bruffy, the

ton A of the unlimited class by
knocking off Dominican Lyceum and
Shamrock.

to play this week, three still to come.
and Tom Bruffv has only Goodwin

Dominican Lyceum has krupp,

must rest largely in the strong right
arm of young Bruffy, who has dem

both Shamrock and Dominican Ly-

fighting, determined team, with a
