(Special Dispatch to Hμ
HII.LSKOROUGiI, Feb. 16. —Fighting
uphill against the steep cdds of a
five goal handicap, Tom Driscoll's
warriors managed to defeat Hastings'
Junior tr-aiu by the narrow margin
of a quarter point this afternoon.
Two insignificant fouls by Hastings
and Tevis and a safety by Haynd
proved the undoing of the Juniors and
tttte victory finally went to their op
ponents by n score of to 7"i.
The Warriors really won the match
in the first four chukkura. Forcing
their way point by joint to the sum
mit, they took the lead for the first
time a few minutes before the inter
mission. The last half of the game
was a" battle r tfa first one side •
ahead and then the other. The Juni
ors put up a stubborn defense and
fought their opponents almost to a
standstill.
LOOK OUT AT fOROXADO
It was the first public appearance
of the Junior team, organised by Hast
ings for the Coronado invasion, and
They may justly be proud of their Ini
tial performance. By perfecting their
team work in the next three weeks.
The clever young quartet should make
a liriliiar.t showing in the junior •
of the coming southern tournament.
. one of the most r
additi >na u> the peninsula polo colony,
was in his best form in today's match.
His wonderful horesmanship, wide
reaches,and accurate hitting made him
one of the star forwards of the game.
If he goea on well, as horsemen sny,

fending the Hlllsborough title one of
these days with the crack "Slashers"
team.
IIAYNI-: QRITBI HARD
Referee J l ■-•.. called the game shortly
after 3 o'clock, and after a couple of
anarle trie* by OHacoll and Garritt the

with his hard drives and clever horse
manehip, and after forcing the ball into
the ruck at the lower end of the field
scored with a straight stroke. With
ii handicap of five goals, the Juniors
fl f.lx poa'.s to the Warriors one at
end of the chukkur.
Garritt and Driscoll carried the ball
wn tlie fleld in the opening of the
find, and when the latter put the ball
ainst the post Garritt pushed it
Through. Hastings fottled Garritt and
Tevia did the same a moment later, de
du whole point from the score
of the Juniors.
•i Driscoll took the ball half the
length of the field in the third L>e
Guigne managed to ride off Hastings
and send the sphere over. Driscoll
scored again, and when he drove for
another Hayne intercepted the ball and
sliced it over for a safety.

In the early fourth Garritt scored on
kin, putting the Warriors into
lead for the first time. Hayne
placed a moment later, giving Klkins

at the opening of the seventh: War

running Harry C. Hastings' Merry-Go-
Round in a three-quarter mile race on
Charles W. (Marks track this morning,
P'elton B. Elkins' Meal Ticket not only
proved that he still has a winning
punch, but made his proud owner the un
disputed possessor of the fastest polo
pony in Hillsborouph. A thousand dol
lara is mentioned as the amount that
changed hands on the result of the
race.
The event, which was planned to de
cide the question of speed supremacy
between the Hastings and Elkins
stables, attracted a large crowd to the
El Palomar track. The gathering in
cluded almost all of the polo players
and horse lovers of the peninsula
towns.
Robin Hayne was selected- as starter,
Walter Hobart and Tom Driscoll as
Jodgrea and Walter Hoag and Christian
de Guigne Jr. timers. The two princ
ipals made their appearance on the
track about 11:30 o'clock, Elkins on his
chestnut gelding. Meal Ticket, and
Hastings on his brown mare, Merry-
Qo-Roun<L .Elkins' racing colors were
dark blue and yellow and Hastings
wore a blouse of light *>lue and brown.
Hayne started the riders In good
style, and Merry-Go-Round went into
the lead. Elkins forced Meal Ticket
ahead and the riders rode neck and
neck for a quarter mile, until Meal
Ticket forged ahead and took the pole.
The chestnut gelding maintained the
lead and finished four lengths ahead
of Merry-Go-Round. The official time
for the three-quarters of a mile was
1 minute and 20.4 seconds.
Hastings was handicapped slightly by
weight, as he went into the race tip
ping the scales at 157 pounds, while
Elkins weighed in at IH9. Hastings'
saddle was 6 pounds'lighter than that
used by Elkins. glviiig the latter a net
advantage in weight of 12 pounds.
Douglas Alexander and Elkins are
planning to have a race two weeks
from today on the Cross ways , track at
Rurlingame. Alexander will ride F. J.
Carolan's Sally and Elkias will again
mount Meal Ticket. The amount of
the wager is not known.

C. A. Harrison, Who Did,
Says Harness Horse In

(Sperln? Pispaffh to The Call)
TVOODLAXD, Feb. 16.—New York dis
patches conveyed the information that
J. W. Considine had purchased 12 thor
oughbred brood mares at the Old Glory
sale, New York, for the Woodland stock
farm,
It was learned here today that the
mares were purchased by C. A. Ilarri
pon, who is connected with the "Wood
land stock farm, but they may event
ually pass into the hands of Considine.
It is said that the annual Old Glory
sale was successful this year and the
bidding spirited, which would indicate
that the harness horse industry was
never in a healthier condition.
Harrison states that the first bid on
Baldy McGregor was $10,000, and he
was finally sold for $16,500. Harrison
bid $2,500 for Addie Dilly, by Sidney
Dillon, the great Santa Rosa sire, but
« il out and the price ran up to
$4,500. Harrison paid $2,650 for Car

ATHLETE IS IN A
TIGHT BOX FOR
USING AN ALIAS
Fred McWilliams Enters
Pastime- Meet Falsely;
Must Answer to the
Powers
What's In a name? Sometimes not
much, sometimes a great deal. Fred
McWilliams lias found that there is
considerable in a mere name, and the
registration committee of the Pacific
association has come to the conclusion
that there is considerable difference
between the name McWilliams and Wil
liamson.
McWilliams entered the grammar
school relay race with the Pacific
Heights team last Friday night under
tftp name of Fred Williamson. Not ■
only that, but McWilliams,, alias Wil
liamson, Iβ no longer a member of the
Pacific Heights team, according to the
registration committee, but is now a
student at. Wilmerding School of Me
chanical Arts, having been graduated I
from Pacific Heights last year.
Using an alias in athletics is a grave i
error and liable to professionalize the '
nthlete doing so. The Pacific associa-j
tion has notified McWiliiams that he is
temporarily suspended from competi
tion in athletics and will be aeked to
appear before the committee this week
and explain his actions. Tf satisfactory
explanations are not made the commit
tee will suspend the athlete for his er
ror. It Is a certainty thnt in the future
Fred Mr-Williams will refrain from
using any name but his own.
Inter - Varsity Committee
Is Still Deadlocked
The arbitration committee appointed |
to decide the controversy over the in
terpretation of the California-Stanford '
intercollegiate agreement met Satur- j
day night at the Palace hotel and de- j
cided that it was impossible to interpret j
the section referring to the football j
rules.
The agreement provides that the
rules shall be made by a committee
appointed by the two universities, and
that this committee "shall have power
to enact, regulate, change and interpret
and publish the rules governing- foot
ball for the ensuing year. This com
mittee shall meet the first Saturday in
September."
The committee did not meet last Sep
tember. Stanford claims that the rules
hold over until changed. California
maintains thnt the rules hold for one
year only, and that there are at pres
ent no rules.
The committee was unable to come to
any conclusion. It recommended, how
ever, that the University of California
abrogate the section of the agreement
providing for the rules committee, in
order that the matter might be brought
to as speedy a decision as possible.
Four meetings have failed to settle the
matter.
The arbitration committee "was com
posed of James Lanagan, Frank Fol
som and Palmer Fuller Jr., represent
ing Stanford, and Farnham Griffiths,
Milton Farmer and Herman Phleger,
