Three minutes after the season opened "Crip" Toomey, the Bears' stellar halfback, hurdled over the St. Marys' line for the first touchdown of the year, and Big Bertha hereby records it for history.

S4. The Kasterners evened up matters with the Western tennis contingent in the second day's play of the Kast-West championship series today when Frank T. Anderson of New York defeated Robert Kinsey of San Francisco, 6-3, 9-7, 8-10, 1-6, 8-6. Rain fell almost contlnu- OUSlv flnri triA nlavopi threatening St. Mary's rallies, and "Crip" Toomey furnished the thrills and two touchdowns by taking advantage of the breaks.

Toomey is the same' wiggling, twisting boy with the jack-knifing legs who made life miserable for tacklers last year. But he is just one year older, and one year better. Before the game had gone three minutes, "Crip" had turned the first "break" into almost exhausted when the long contest ended. Both were forced to be careful and numerous slips on the wet court counted for nnlnti fn. touchdown.

He was taken out later in the first quarter and came back in the third quarter to take advantage of another "break" about the same time after the kickoff.

MCCARTHY of the Pacific Coast Baseball League yesterday announced receipt of a telsgram from Judge Kenesaw M.

Landis, national baseball commissioner, asking him to supervise the postseason series between the Chicago teams. McCarthy said that as a matter of courtesy he could not accept the offer without first putting it before the coast league directors. The game is October 5. The telegram read: "I desire to appoint you to supervise the Chicago post-season series. The first game is October 5.

Please wire me at your earliest convenience whether you will accept. "KENESAW M. LANDIS." ivinsey ran tnrougn tne fourth set speedily, winning 6-1. The final set saw both nla verq Mrr1 but Anderson's net work improved. to hit hard enough.

Crjp had Just received a punt on his own thirty-yard line and was nailed almost before he started. However, the St. Mary's boy who tackled him did not know that Toomey has to be fairly drowned before he is down. Squirm-ins out of the first tackle, Crip got his stiff arm and dodging legs into action, carryHg the ball through the entire St, Mary's team seventy yards tor a touchdown. The other touchdown of the game came In the second quarter.

Since the first touchdown the game had been pretty much see-saw, with St. Mary's decidedly on the defensive, when a punt by Black, the Indian fullback of the Saints, soared straight into the air and was recovered bv California with 26 yards to goal. Dutch Kels put forth several good bucks, alternating with rather fail- ing ones by Van Sant to get the ball vithin four yards of the goal, where Van Sant was selected to put it over. T.

The team whicli has been raised from nothing in a few short weeks by Madigan played exceedingly rood football. The material for a victory over California even in this early season game was not The offensive of the Oakland boys, was well directed and precise, interference was well massed and the boys carried the ball with very little fumbling, when one considers that they were up against a' team of terrific tacklers. On defense St. Mary's boys tackled furiously, and usually got their man In his tracks. Murdock of the' Saints made several pretty stops early in the game, and the whole back field cf the loses united in making a very food secondary defense.

Kinsey lobbing fell off and his errors were more numerous. Anderson finally won the set and match 8-6. The match score now stands two to two. Tomorrow Willi Tlavf- nf Sm Francisco will meet S. IToward Vo-shell of Brooklyn, N.

Mary's team, Black, the fullback, stood out as the most consistent player. His seemingly slow motion was able to make good pains frequently against the veteran California line. Silva, a freshman, also distinguished himself several times. Kanhane was brilliant on defense, but the Hawaiian star was up to his old tricks of running wide instead of picking holes. CALIFORNIA kicked off at the start, and after three attempts at line-bucks, Black of St.

Mary's tried to kick, but McMillan blocked the ball and California recovered with only twerity-flve yards to goal. Morrison, Eels and Toomey pushed the ball over with line bucks for the first core. In spite of the early scoring St. Mary's showed strength on these first few downs, and that strength became apparent when for the rest of the quarter, and for that matter the whole game, California was unable to make consistent gains. Although St.

Mary's was on defensive, the crowd was given one thrill by the Oaklanders when "Doc" Silva got away for a thirty yard run a little later, that brought the ball to the middle of the field. Black failed on a line buck a forward pass went wild, and Kauhane ran across the field only to be thrown Latonia Results.

SB WE predict that the policy of immense production and lower profit per unit is going to grow in popularity. A few months ago, in reducing White Owl prices, we cut our profit to the lowest margin in our history. We believed that by making White Owl an even greater value we would eventually increase the sales enough to make up our temporary drop in profit. Smokers did not know this. But they did know that there was no other cigar of like size and price which offered them so much for their money.

At half time, the California team showed a net scrimmage gain of 77 vards while St. Mary's had made 62. California, however, after the second touchdown was obviously playing a defensive game. At the start of the second half St. Mary's got a break.

One of Black's blocked kicks was recovered bv Stanley of St. Mary's for a gain of 15 yards. The retrial of that punt resulted in Toomey's already described 70-yard run. 5-. Jr i mi oS.
