Taking the great Cali fornia colt out on top from the break, fighting off Bobby Broca to's challenge at the head of the stretch and then going on to his easy win. Porterhouse, which scored an upset win over Swaps two weeks ago in the 5100.000 Californian, did not catch the great runner napping at the wire this time and Porterhouse had to be con tent with third and Poona II was fourth in the six horse field. . .

PCC To Meet To Consider Violations Los Angeles (U.F9 A special meeting of the Pacific Coast con ference has been called for July 7 and 8 in San Francisco to "con sider rules violations which have been reported to the conference subsequent to its regular spring meeting" held May 18-23 in Vic toria, B.C., it was announced Saturday. The announcement, from the office of Conference Commis sioner Victor O. Schmidt, said the meeting was called by Prof. Emmett B. Moore, conference president. It will be attended by the faculty athletic represen tatives and directors of athletics. The announcement pointed out that at the Victoria meeting, the PCC "disclosed the possibili ty of a special meeting to con sider additional reports on rules violations." There was immediate specula tion the PCC might level further penalties against member schools such as recently were imposed upon UCLA and Wash ington for alleged extra expense payments to athletes. Since the Victoria meeting, all conference schools, including Stanford, California, and Uni versity of Southern California, have been accused of similar practices. There also was speculation the conference could lighten the pen alties against UCLA and Wash ington in view of accusations that extra payments to athletes was a widespread practice among PCC schools and the pun ishment of the two schools was too harsh. Another possibility was that the PCC could revise its code under pressure from some quar ters for a "more realistic" ap proach to the situation.

Back in 1905 Bill Tozer of Los Angeles set the mark by blanking the opposition for 46 consecutive innings. The Stars got the run they needed early in the second in ning and then cushioned Waters with three in the seventh.
