REPORTER SEES----
(continued from page one)
Before, I had regarded luggage as only a necessity and a convenience, but the many, undistributed trunks, huge bags, and brief cases parked in the lobby were of special interest. One was marked "Chinese delegation," and other "England." Our only clue to the owner's names were three initials.
Talk to Chinese Delegate
At the Mark Hopkins, we saw many Chinese and other Orientals. We spoke to one tall, young Chinese, who was wearing the much to be desired official button, to find where he came from. "Somewhere in China," he told us.
After the excitement of the lobby, we went up to the top of the hotel. From the elevator, we stepped into a beautifully glassed in, dimly lighted skyroom. From four directions, we looked out across San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda. These cities are all very brilliantly lighted again.
Arabian Delegates Interesting
There were many types of people there, many persons wearing the official delegation button, some navy men, a few army, some wearing Canadian uniforms, some of New Zealand. Probably the most interesting people in the place were the five Arabian delegates, Ug Ibn Rihan, Jabar Ibn, Abdullah, Said Ibn Mugairin, Sulaiman Ibn Hamad and Zied El Jauhar. They were dressed in flowing robes and white headaddress held in place by gleaming gold head ropes.
Never before (but I hope to again) have I seen so many beautifully attired women. Not just one, not half a dozen, but many more were wearing orchid corsages, and others equally as rare. Gorgeous furs were seen everywhere.
All around us was life and gaiety. But as we departed, a casual glance several stories below disclosed a watchful soldier behind an anti aircraft gun in readiness for a possible Japanese sneak raid. At that moment, we realized anew the seriousness of the mission which brought celebrities the world over to the Golden Gate City.
Alert for Possible Raid
After leading the league with five straight victories, the Chi Sox were tripped yesterday by the 1944 American league champions, the St. Louis Browns. Losing two games to the Browns, 3-2, and 10-4, the White Sox are still pacing the American circuit, but by a scant margin.
It was the Chicago cub that stopped the Brown's early victory streak last year after the first nine games of the season.

Illinois Again Repeats
At the Drake relays Saturday the University of Illinois track squad, despite illness and injury, won three relay titles, the 880, the sprint medley, and the mile, to repeat for the third straight time as the outstanding team of the meet.
Bv LOREN KING
Their star spinner, Bill Buster pulled a muscle in the left leg in the 880, forcing the Illini to lose their 440 championship by default.
Top individual performance of the meet was turned in by Billy Moore of Western Michigan who came within 1/16 of an inch of the Drake relays record in a 14-foot pole vault. Moore is the national A.A.U. polevault champion and his Saturday mark was the best college mark of the year.
Moore's Performance Good
The new baseball commissioner, Sen. A. B. (Happy) Chandler has made his first decision.
Boston Wins Decision
Dutch Nieman of the Boston Braves hit a homer in the ninth inning, giving the Braves a victory over the Dodgers, 8-6.
Leo Durocher, Brooklyn manager,
with his tongue in his cheek, wired
Clandler, . . . "Hereby file protest."
Chandler jokingly said that he would give the game to Boston.
Lt. Bennett Dies of Wounds Received in Mine Explosion
Lt. Thomas E. Bennett, a former student in '42, died at the Army hospital in Brigham, Utah, from wounds received last October by a mine explosion in Metz, France.
Lt. Bennett received the rank of first lieutenant with the Seventh army, 163rd engineers in England. His home is in Holton.
