Werle was the second white child born in Calaveras County and her home was a two-room cabin on the outskirts of Greasertown, near Texas Bar. There was no school at Greasertown and thus she had to go to the next town, about three miles.

The fun, it would appear, is just about to begin. Mayor Angelo J. Rsi took the aggressive the other night when, spying Uhl at an improvement club meeting where itis Honor was to install the officers, he issued a debating challenge to any or all who would care to meet him on the platform.

That was a chip off Uhl's shoulder, for he lost no time in expressing his acceptance of the challenge. The Uhl program for a general reorganization of San Francisco's municipal government offers the material for the verbal duel. The Supervisor presented his proposal at last Monday's meeting of the board and Rossi came back a few days later with the criticism that nearly every item in it is "impracticable," adding that he "could shoot it full of holes in a jiffy." Uhl's friends are inclined to think the Mayor was hedging on his debating challenge when he said he thought "it would better fit the dignity of both of us if we met in my office, in the presence of the press, and' discussed, as one official to another, the matters on which we have differences." But the Mayor said that he wanted to get Uhl "where he can't hedge." "I'll lash him to the mast," Rossi declared. The idea of meeting Rossi in the Mayor's office doesn't suit Uhl at all. "I'm the challenged party," he said, "and I think I should have the right to decide the circumstances of our meeting.

I'm going to hold him to his challenge and demand a meeting."

STANFORD PLAYS CLUB Tuesday's, program finds Stan boxing body decided that it ihould affiliate with the New York commission. That means that the two organizations will work together, and that a fighter fanned in one state is on the outside in the other. The. commission already has agreed that Baer must box in this State for Parente or no one. If New York strings with California he can't perform there until the California obligation Is eliminated.

And California and New York are the only logical NOT EVERYBODY in California is going tJ run for Governor this year, of course, but it's been -a long time since I have noticeji so many trial balloons sent up in advance of a State contest. Most of those in whose behalf booms are launched will be content with the mere mention of their names as "available yet likely enough there may be such a fieid in the primary races as to bring victory to minority candidates. It takes only three candidates to make possible the nomination pf a candidate for Governor preferred by less than half the registered voters of a party. If three's a crowd, more than that number may very well be a nuisance. Notwithstanding the split in the Democratic ranks, the opinion seems to be general that the Republican aspirants may outnumber the rival party's field of contestants.

Still, it's a rash prophet who will venture any prognostications. I should not be surprised to hear before long that informal partisan conferences are proposed to take stock of the situation and endeavor by persuasion to eliminate some of those who fancy they hear the call to serve the public in high office. The man who says he is willing to serve at a real personal sacrifice might be induced to make a sacrifice for the sake of the party. It strikes me as preposterous, however legal and proper it may be under our present direct primary system, that a minority of the members of a party can dictate the nomination and then the party 'to unite enthusiastically behind the candidate at the general election. Another angle to the present situation coming to my notice is the question of an issue.

The record of the Rolph Administration will probably come under fire. As a rule the jncumbent Governor is forced to defend his administration the attacks of the opposition. No doubt the opposition this year will center on the fact that the Rolph Administration opposed most of the budget reductions proposed by the legislative economy bloc. The fact that he overlooked suggesting to the Legislature an equalization of the tax burden between the public utilities and common property will also be singled out by some. Others will make an issue of his income tax veto.

In other words, there will be plenty to talk about when the campaign gets under way. cisco Seals will be given the honor of christening the new by meeting an all-star team to be selected from Modesto and nearby towns. Devincend said last night that he and Bruhaker have abandoned plants to visit other proposed camps at San Jose, Monterey and Santa Cruz and that he intends to get in touch with Fred Finer at Calistoga to learn just what the upper Napa Valley city intends to do in the way of Improv m.

Otto and McRae. The four above teams are situated in the last four positions of the Eastbay league, so the other six teams were granted byes. The Eastbay league will eliminate to two clubs, as will the Los Angeles and Sacramento leagues, while San Francisco will eliminate to eight. The two from here, two from Sacramento and eight from San Francisco will be drawn against each other, and the six survivors, plus the two from Los Angeles, will form the nucleus of the State cup quarterfinals. Thence they will compete in straight elimination, to the State championship.

SCANDIAS LOOM STRONG The games today will find the teams battling for a chance to meet clubs in the upper brackets in the first round. The winner of the first game will meet the Rangers, and the winner of the second will take on Neptune, both games to be played on February 11. The Scandia club, which has shown some of its old form after a bad start this season, is favored to win over the De Molays, who have yet to win a game'. The Seandias recently added three, players to their team, one of whom, Harold Fox, was with them last season for a while. The other two are Ted Gorbacheff, an experienced halfback, and Norman Sloper, a youngster who has shown some speed in the center forward position.

DE MOLAYS BOLSTERED The De Molay club, which came nearer to its first win last week against Berkeley than it ever did, has added Dick Carlen, brother of Charlie of the Neps, and a player of much promise. While Berkeleyans have not shown last season's form yet, they have some splendid talent, which should be capable of giving the Hayward Farmers plenty to worry about. jVIEMORIES PERSIST' and associations are traditional. When it was announced that Adolph G. Sutro had bought the outstanding interests in the famous Sutro Baths, in the neighborhood of the Cliff House, and would spend a large amount to convert the property into an amusement resort, it was natural that the explanations should include a hint that this would be a combination of Woodward's Gardens and Coney Island.

It was in '66 that R. B. Woodward opened the gallery of his home on Mission Street to the' public. Virgil Williams, local artist, copied old masters and furnished the place with a rare collection. It is said that he spent several years in Rome executing the curious commission and that the results were largely appreciated and were even a "cultural influence in the new city." Then the park surrounding the Woodward home was thrown open to one and all and became Woodward's Gardens, the most famous of San Francisco's old open-air resorts.

There were sloping hillsides, a little valley, fountains, artificial -lakes, a zoo and gardens, and to the place went the picnic parties, the visiting and the townsfolk. It was an event to sec the seals and sea-lions fed, for men tossed raw meat from pitchforks, the while a great crowd of children and elders gaped and applauded. Those who tell the tales are not always certain if the seals or the old masters, studiously copied by a capable artist, were the main attraction, but it is agreed, that the Gardens filled a definite and loved place in the early scheme, long before tj.e open-air resorts accumulated the honky-tonk and the mechanics of the present. And now they say San Francisco is to bring it back, th modern improvements, that there is to be a great garden, a huge swimming tank, and no end of arrangements to afford thrill and surprise. places for Max' performances.

My friend Edmund Kinyon has dug up the peace articles which followed the battle. It was Major-General Thimas J. Green of the First Division California Militia who was in charge of the punitive forces. On May 20, 1850, he sent the Indians a message by an aged squaw who had been held captive and it is one which may be illuminative of the times. It was dated at Wolf Creek Camp, and read: To the Indian Chiefs Weima (often spelled in other ways), Buckler, Podllel and others: Your people have been murdering ours, robbing their wagons and burning their houses.

We have made war upon you, killed your men and taken prisoners your women and children. WjeJKcnd you this plain talk by one of your grandmothers. When you cease to rob and murder our people we will cease to make war upon you, and then you can come in and get your women and children who will be taken care of in the meantime. If you wish peace come down to Johnson's old ranch on Bear River, and report yourselves to Captain Charles Hoyt who will protect you until your Great Father shall speak." The Indians came and on May 25, after extended parleys, a treaty was signed. It declared that "henceforth and forever" the American citizens and several tribes mentioned should remain in peace and bound the Indians to deliver up any redskin from another tribe who might commit an overt act.

In fairness, the General agreed to punish any white man who committed an offense against the Indians. idea, by a combination of yells and gestures, that he intended to return to Oakland as a boxing promoter goon.

February, or March at the New Mint and OW ford entertaining the Olympic Club Cagers, San Francisco University playing Athens Athletic Club at Kezar and Santa Clara meeting tha United Athletic Club at Canta Clara. The Indians will be decided underdogs, for the Olympians are rated one of the best squads in the State and have been consistently successful against the best imported and local talent.

The Bronco-United clash should be a close one. while the Dons and Winged should also battle with little difference manit tested between the two. There is a strong possibility that Coach Nibs Price will use hil reserves against St. Mary's for tha major part of the game in order to save the first string for the conference games against the Bruins. Two games in a row are trying oi1 a basketball team, and while the Baers will be top-heavy favorites to defeat Coach Caddy Works' inexperienced Bruins, Price cannot afford to take a chance on losing with the Conference race as it is.

The owner is C. K. G. Billings, reins-man and equestrian, and the horse is the one-time champion trotter Uhlan, with a record to harness of 1:58.

Those who have love for the track recall when Uhlan, jet-black son of Bingen, dazzled the Grand Circuit by his beauty and speed. Reports say he still retains his looks, the "look of the eagle," and that the spirit of the champion is yet with him. One of the old-time followers of the track says that this attribute and his superb spirit made Uhlan a great favorite on the Continent almost a generation ago when, in response to an invitation from high German and Russian authorities, the splendid gelding and his stable companion, the then queen of the turf, Lou Dillon, 1:58 'i, were sent across the Atlantic by their owner in charge of their trainer, Charles Tanner. Uhlan was probably the. most versatile of all the great trotters this country has known, being equally at.

Under the saddle Uhlan was a nonpareil, and on one occasion at Saratoga Springs trotted two separate furlongs in 13 seconds on the grass course with his owner in the saddle. Mr. Billings and his saddle weighed 190 pounds, but Uhlan handled the.

Whether the difficulty of heated play on hard ground will hinder the Frcmonters or not remains to be Jack Hassler, City Manager, the POR YEARS the old Mint in San Francisco has attracted the visitors. There is something about money, and the place of its making arid storing, to hold upon the attention and imagination of the American. Those who have lived here long remember when a first act of favor to the friend or relative, here from afar, was a journey to the Mint.

And now there is to be a new one. Accord-ingjo the latest word the allotment of provided for under the Public Works Administration, has been increased to which, if the Government's architects do their share, should provide San Francisco 'witlUfl structure of rare attractiveness and usefulness. For no reason at all, save that the Mint is under discussion, I am reminded of a story told by Major Horace Bell of a time when Count Harathzy was Superintendent of the Mint. When he was called upon to settle his account with the Government at the end of his term, he was forty thousand dollars short. He claimed the deficiency was due to a defect in the chimney flues of the Mint which carried off smolce from the molten gold; in other words, that the shortage went up the flue in smoke.

To be sure there was public amusement at the explanation and, according to Major Bell, it was then the expression originated that a thing had "gone up in smoke" or "gone up the flue." However, scientific tests proved the superintendent's contention true, he was exonerated, the flues reconstructed and the drain on the mint stopped. As a Sheriff of 5an and Superintendent of the Mint, Harathzy, colorful figure, was the central theme of many engaging stories.

Without desiring in any shape, manner or form to enter in the dispute between Baer and Parente, we can't help but advance the opinion that Max could do worse than fight in Oakland, unless, of course, title bout with Camera was in view. Against a suitable opponent Baer would draw probably the largest crowd in the history of lo-pugilism. 4 San Rafael Elks Flan Baseball Night The second annual baseball night at San Rafael Lodge of Elks will be held Saturday, February 3, according to an announcement made by Walter Mails who will be chairman of the evening.

Mails is extending invitafions to all major and minor league ballplayers, club sad umpires in the Bay district. The VGreat Walter" announced that he will be on dock when Alameda Lodge of Elks stages its annual baseball night a week from tomorrow. Mails has been wintering on Georg Oeschger's-ranch at. Fern-dale and says he is getting in great shape. He hopes to have a big season on the mound and coaching lines for the Seals.

OF US who know whaUakes place when there is an art exhibition open both to the modernists and the conservatives, may have been fearful when it was announced that the CWA program was going to recruit, without reference to school, the painters of this Bay region. The artists themselves have quieted the doubts. I am told that plans already started and projected call upon the talents and labors of considerable' group of our artists, both men and women, and that in the interests of harmony or fairness the hatchets of manner have been buried. The result will be murals in public buildings, some of which will strike the beholder between the eyes, and others calculated to lull him to complacency. The painters are to be paid $40 a week by Uncle Sam and will be given all but free rein.

They are to have a chance to express themselves. in their own communities and in to outlive the contemporary controversies and most of them are glad of the chance. Perhaps the interior-decoration of the Coit Memorial will be the largest job, but there are to be many others and, if the plans are carried forward, our city halls, libraries and other public structures on either side of the Bay will be given an expert and talented attention. The civil works program has recruited any number of artists. I hear of some who are coloring slides for one Federal department or another, putting down in authentic -colors records of plants, insects, animals and other things.

So fSr, what surprises the fraternity of the easel and brush is that the old warfare between schools has been shelved for the exigency. Some who, professionally, have been beyond speaking terms are working shoulder to shoulder. by President Roosevelt, American huntsmen will be required to place Park; on the east by the western line of Canon Avenue; on the south by a line parallel with and distant SOTICK OP- HKARINO TO OPERATIC A CAIIARKT.

About HO per cent, of the monev will PERHAPS THE CWA will figure as an issue in the State campaign, strange as that may seem, in view of the fact that it has to do with the spending of federal money. The first inkling of that came from San Francisco where critics of the Rolph administration endeavored to show an alleged favoritism toward friends of the present Governor.

That kind of talk has given way recently to charges that the McAdoo wing of the Democratic Party is making political capital of the work program for the unemployed. Incidentally, you hear more of that from the anti-McAdoo Democrats than you do from Republicans. But if the CWA doesn't figure as a campaign issue, it may serve as a spring-board for candidates. I notice that John B. Elliott, McAdoo lieutenant and vice-chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, has derived considerable publicity in Southern California1 over his complaints against CWA methods.

And a little bird has whispered in my ear that Captain Edward Macauley's prominence as the big mogul of the CWA activities may yet be translated into a real gubernatorial boom. Diverting to other lines of political gossip, I find those who give President Roosevelt credit for knowing his political p's and q's doubtful that he would come to California, as rumored, to become mixed up in the squabbles of the Democratic primary campaign. Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz of Los Angeles has announced that she will be a candidate for Governor and a group of Southern California Republicans want to draft William May Garland, head of the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, as a candidate for the Republican nomination.

WALTER N. FRICKSTAD, Superintendent of Streets and Ex-offlcio City Engineer of the City of Oakland. 157-Jan. 17-1 Ot. IN THE RECENT death of Colonel James Sutherland, of southern Alameda County has lost -one of its colorful personalities and the racing game in California one of its ardent supporters and one of the old school of gentlemen drivers of harness horses.

Born in Ontario, Col. Sutherland, who was 89 at the time of his death, came to California when a child. He lived first in Yreka ahdfit was here that he had many stirring experiences, of.which he loved to talk in his declining years. It was in Yreka, also, that he first turned to racing, driving his first race when but 15 years old. After that time, with the exception of a few years spent in uniform during the Civil War he appeared constantly on the tracks of the state and country behind some of the fastest trotters and pacers seen here.

During the world fair at Chicago in 1895 he was the outstanding driver in a- field that brought the best of the country together. In 1895 he settled in Pleas-anton, then a famous center for the breeding of Here he lived to the time of his death. He trained many horses at the old Pleasanton track, later racing them at state and county fairs of the west. Some years ago he purchased the Rose Hotel in Pleasanton, which for a long time was the headquarters for the racing fraternity in this section. Despite his age he was a daily visitor to the track at Pleasantwii almost up to his death and his advice wasitfagerly sought by many of the younger drivers and trainers.

One IT MAY BE rather surprising to his associ- ates when a man who is known as a practical man of business appears suddenly as the author of an interpretive work on the poet John Keats. Earle Vonard Weller, advertising expert of this vicinity, has put some years of fond reading and research into a book which he called the "autobiography" of Keats. It is thaj, and it isn't, for Keats never wrote what is in the book with the motive of leaving his story for posterity. Weller has read all he could of the poet, delved into his letters and other writings, pieced the time element, the recital, and the character indications, and has joined all into a connected narrative. The result is a romantic, revealing and fascinating document and one to give the student of letters new ideas and appreciations.

Once more the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra is going through the throes of annual financial crisis. It has come out successfully before and the hope and belief of all who know the city's traditional love and support of music is that it will do so this time. Certainly San Francisco is not backward in reviewing its musical past, recalling those who contributed to the legends, and boasting of a certain proud distinction. It puts forward' the Symphony Orchestra as one of the few of its kind in the nation; it welcomes the visiting conductors, but it does not always accord the financial support. Now comes the question Those Lost Camps Next Summer Vines and Vincent Kichard another former national champion now with the professional troupe, say the is HTHE KNAVE: Reference by The Knave to Daniel Webster's opposition to the proposal for a postal route from Independence, Missouri, to the mouth of the Columbia River, and his reputed description of "a western coast of 3000 miles, rock-bound and cheerless, and not a harbor in it," recalls the more accurate and favorable prophecy of Thomas Jefferson.

We remember that it was Jefferson who conceived and made possible the epoch-marking expedition of Lewis and Clark to the mouth of the Columbia River, an enterprise based upon his faith in the ultimate contribution which the Pacific territory would make to the greatness of the nation. Prophetic also was his letter to John Jacob Astor involving his plan to establish a factory on the Columbia. He wrote: "I considered as a great acquisition the commencement of a settlement at that point on ihe west coast of America, and I looked forward with gratification to the time when its descendants should have spread themselves through the whole length of that coast, covering it with free and independent C.

He appeared Inst in the Eastbay in the North-South amateur matches last spring, and his game then was 'erratic and listless. Playing for cash has strengthened his determination, it appears, arid there will be a big crowd at the Auditorium here to watch the two stars and others of the pro-group. Record attendance has greeted their appearance wherever they have played and Oakland probably will turn out in force.
