8 ANGELS WIN IN TWELFTH INNING BREAK HOODOO BY TROUNCING THE TIGERS Wanderers Assist In Their Defeat by Weird Playing at Critical Stages of a Long Drawn Out Game It required twelve innings to do it, but the hoodoo is broken and the Angels turned the trick in one of the sharpest games of ball yet pulled oft at Chutes park. Just how long It hag been since the Seraphs won a Sunday game on the home grounds is beyond the memory of the fans, and when Tim Flood went tearing around the bases for the decid ing run in the last half of the twelfth there was enough noise to make up for the Sabbath-like silence which for months past has fallen over the crowd as they watched the last bad Angel pop into the air or swing in vain at the weather. A great game and nothing less, with the crisp air of the afternoon putting life and vigor into the players, and from the time that the first player stepped to the plate there was no let up to the swing and dash that kept the crowd in a state of uncertainty. It was a pitchers' battle royal with honors about even. Tozer and Fitzgerald were in great form, and though both fell into several bad holes they managed to squirm out before much damage re sulted. Pretty plays abounded in profusion and more than one piece of clever head work tied a runner to the bag or nipped a.' score when appearances were sorry for either side. In the fifth inning, after Casey had doubled to center with no outs, Hogan came to bat and dumped a long bunt into the infield which Tozer, Smith and Toman, in an undecided mo ment, let roll to a stop, while he of the bright efre sped to first, Casey going to third. Fitzgerald fanned and Doyle walked to the plate prepared to break up the game then and there. He lined a scorcher to Flood, who, like a flash, touched unhappy Hogan and doubled Doyle at the Initial sack. The stunt was one of the best pulled off on the local grounds during the present series, and almost started a riot of joy. Big Mike Lynch, in center field for the Tigers, was a veritable well, and anything that went his way was easy picking. Tozer In Form Tozer had them breaking over the plate like a big leaguer in midsummer, and eight of the Tigers swung their figurative heads off in an effort to con nect. Four bases on balls added in terest to the game, and Fisher's men took advantage of them in a manner that threatened to make the bell ring. But the tall boy from the Mormon country was there in the pinch, and all went well. Fitzgerald pitched good ball and al lowed but one free pass. Four errors were chalked against his team, and two of them figured in the Angels' brace of runs. Tacoma started scoring in the fifth when McLaughlln walked and went to second on Lynch's sacrifice. Casey singled and Mac came home. This was the end for Mike and his men, and during the remainder of the fun they contented themselves with holding the Angels to just one run on the wrong side of their ledger. The Seraphs came back with the tying score in the next inning and there was considerable excitement before the situation cleared up. Bobby Eager lined a sizzler down the short field that Truck Eagan's arms fell short of. Casey, in a laudable effort to nail the sphere, stood on his head to the vast amusement of the spectators. Tozer sacrificed and Tommy Sheehan became bo Interested in watching his progress to first that he forgot the corner eack, and Bobby displayed his wisdom in going on to third. Nordyke threw high to get him, and the ball went Into the left field bleachers as Bobby tripped over the bag. It was one, two, three until the last half of the twelfth, and then Tim Flood leaped into the limelight by smashing one far into light field which had all the earmarks of a two-sacker. Doyle thought otherwise and made a try at spoiling the aspirations of the second baseman in the vicinity of his own camping ground. The weird throw .went wild and the game was over.

Of the pitchers, Tozer, with three out of six times at bat, gets away for a 500 aver age, and Baum carries 1000 to his credit column. Bernard figures in the 400 col umn and Dillon and Flood are the only other ones of the regulars above the 300 mark. A glance at the fielding records, with ten 1000 averages looming up, tells the tale of the last string of victories that have placed the Seraphs at the top.

Sam Spaldlng Is the latest find, ana It Is said that he is giving Jack all the heavyweight boxing he wants. Spalding Is Biddy Bishop's strapping youngster and tnkes great delight In sending In his terrific stabs to O'Brien's body. Last week during one of the sparring bouts between them Jack sailed Into the youngster and jarred him Immensely with a couple of leads to the face. One of Spaldlng's eyes was closed and It was necessary to use a bellows to rive the youngster a chance to breathe for a time. All of this Is pointed to as Incidents tending to show that the twenty pounds difference will not be so much In favor of the kid wonder when he meets O'Brien as it has been touted. O'Brien has broken his custom of not bragging about his fights, and is re ported as saying that it Is all over now, that he will win In jig time, and that, while he regrets the necessity of puncturing Al's boomlet for heavy weight honors, he has some aspiration* in that line himself and 'that he re gards himself as bound to give Kauff man a good-sized thrashing. Kauffman is equally chesty In his claims. He says that he has no in tentions of breaking any records ana will put Jack to sleep in the first round, ns he has performed with all others. He says that, while Jack is a nice fellow all right, he had no busi ness taking on Buch an unwieldy con tract, and since he has done so it be comes the Bad duty of the rising gen eration to stop him before he gets in the way of Jeffries or some one else and gets hurt. Both are spurred on In their train ing by the news that Hart is coming to the coast after their scalps. Each owns up to a hankering for a biff-bang battle with the title holder, and realizes that their right to meet the champ de pends upon the result of Friday night's milling. Delaney announces that his kid won der is In trim to go Into the ring at the present moment, but this fast will not cause a cessation in work. It is generally recognized that De* laney is too cute to allow Al to go up against O'Brien without proper training, and when the two pugs come together the best man should win, as there will be no room for excuses after wards. SPORTING GOSSIP AND COMMENT Stanford vs. Indians By an error a statement was made In this column yesterday morning that the next big football game would be played by Berkeley and Stanford, when It should have been Stanford and the Indians. The Indians will be the op ponents of Stanford at Fiesta park next Saturday, when the football fans of California will learn the relative strength of the teams competing for championship honors. Should the In dians win from Stanford the Cardi nals will be a slight factor in the final result of the championship series, while the opposite would be true If Stanford wins by anything like as big a score as Berkeley made against the braves Saturday. Poe Brothers Officiate John P. Poe, jr., and Neilson Poe, graduates of Princeton, will probably be selected to officiate at the big foot ball game between Stanford and Berke ley at Palo Alto when the two insti tutions send their football warriors to fight it out for the championship. John Poe played on the Princeton team In 1891 and 1892 and was coach for several years. Neilson Poe was coach last year at Princeton. Terry Is Next Manager Billy Nolan announces that if McGovern wants a fight with Nelson he can have first chance at the title held by the Dane. Nolan is greatly im pressed with the ease in which Mc- Govern put away Murphy a few days ago and expresses the belief that he is the best of the fighters now seek ing a scrap with the Battler. Kid on Honeymoon Kid McCoy will punch anybody's face who addresses him by his ring cogno men in future, saying that the name of Kid McCoy is an Insult to him since he became the husband of the wealthy Mrs. Ellis. He is now enjoying the honeymoon period in one of the sev eral autos owned by his wife, and proposes to take life easy from now on. At least until the former widow stops his allowance. Roseben Retired Davy Johnson, the plunger, has de cided to retire Roseben until next sea son. "If I run him again this season he will have to carry a ton of weight and he might break down or be in jured, and he is too great a horse for me to take any chances with. There fore I shall give him a rest until next season." Wise head, Davy. Ned Hanlon to. St. Louis The report that Hank O'Day had been employed to manage the St. Louts Cardinals next year may have been premature if reports telegraphed from the east are to be accepted with any truth. It is said that the Robinsons are negotiating with Ned Hanlon, who last season managed the tailenders— Brooklyn— and for several seasons man aged the old champion Orioles. Ned would command a stiff salary, but the Robinsons believe he is worth it. St. Louis has not had a respectable stand ing in any baseball league in many years and the game has suffered as a consequence. Welch to Referee Aleck Greggalns, manager of Wood ward's pavilion, where the O'Brlen- Kauffman battle is to be held Friday night, announces that Jack Welch, tho club's official referee, will be the third man in the ring when the fight gong taps. Welch is satisfactory to O'Brien end Kauffman. France Refuses Cup The Automobile club of France has written a letter to the Vanderbllt cup commission declining the trophy won by Hemery recently. The objection made la that France does not want the next race or any other automobile race and, not willing that the cup should be defended on its soil, the French people prefer to relinquish the trophy ot ylctorr. . . t- KID WONDER WHO WILL MEET JACK O'BRIEN FRIDAY NIGHT ... , .. _ _ _ j. _ * m * * * * * * * • -* * • • -•. * • -• .• ***»* + **■ ■•■-*--•- .♦■-*. -*- J..* ■*- -*- -*- ■*.-*. ■»..♦.■*.

Trotters and pacers stir up the dust every morning and along the rail alert owners snap their watches and smile or frown, according to the time made. Preparations are now under way for a harness meet that is expected to sur pass anything ever attempted before on the coast. More fast trotters and sidewheelers will be seen on the local track during the latter part of next month than have ever stepped over a Southern California course. A couple of hundred are already be ing trained at Agricultural and there lit always a good sized crowd of the harness enthusiasts on hand to study the horses. Great Match Race Arrangements are almost completed for a match race that will attract the attention of the entire country. The purses offered will all be large and the fields that will contest will be big and well matched. The meeting held last spring furn ished the best harness racing California had ever seen and easterners who were here said it compared with the Grand Circuit races in the east. Almost every stake was a contest and the big events were all won in fast. time. Zolock, the star of the coast this year, will be on hand and horsemen are predicting 2:04 or better for this great stallion. The big harness meetings in the east being over, many owners are preparing to ship their stables to the coast for the races here. The local meeting will be preceded by a three-day meeting at San Bernardino, where great prepara tions are being made, and a meeting of similar length at Santa Ana.

Britt Contest, Reproduced at the Casino Theater, Is Remark, ably Clear The moving pictures of the Nelson- Brltt fight at Colma, which will be the attraction at the Casino theater for the coming two weeks, were dis played in a private pxhibltlon at the play house last evening, and from the expressions of the men who sat at the ring side the films are the finest rep resentations of any fight in the his tory of the prize ring. Theater men say that Nolan, Nel son's manager, who sold his right to the pictures for $5000, made the mistake of his life and the revenue which the Brltt boya will obtain from their share in the enterprise should put them on easy street fov life. Every movement and emotion which actuated the vast throng is as appar ent from the pit of the house as it was to those by the ropes, and the human Interest of the scene does not cease from the time the various celebrities make their appearance until, amid the frantic demonstrations of the crowd, Nelson lifts Brltt, bleeding and beaten, from the ropes after the knock-out. THE RUBE TO FIGHT FIELDS Local Boy Signs With San Diego Wei. ter In Preliminary to Barry. Woods Scrap Rube Jefferles haa been signed by Manager Billy Roch» of the National club, San Diego, for a six-round go with Frank Fields, the affair to be the main preliminary to the battle between Dave Barry and Billy Woods on the night of Nov. 2. The fight will be at catch weights and the Rube will not carry less than 158 pounds, while his opponent will tote not less than ten pounds lighter, and more probably will have to give The Rube thirteen pounds. Both have been knocked out by War ren Zubrlck. The Buffalo dentist ad ministered the sleep medicine to Fields after eight hard rounds, in which Fields, who was thirteen pounds lighter, made a game fight until the last mo ment and walloped Zubrick in lively fashion. Rube went out In the second round and was really whipped in the first in ning of his scrap with Zubrlck, never being in the running for a moment. On this dope, Fields should experi ence little difficulty in getting the de cision over the local boy. However, the difference In weight may be more of an item between these than it would be between the Rube and Zubrlck. Fields will experience great difficulty In getting to 145 for the fight and be In any condition for a milling with Rube's terrific right. And as Fields is one of the slap-bang scrappers and loves to mix matters from the tap of the gong, he Is more liable to step Into one of Rube's piston rods than was Zubrick, the foxy fellow.

Clement DREAM 'HUNCHES' FAIL OF SUCCESS FOLLOWER OF PONIES TELLS EXPERIENCES One 150 to 1 Shot Might Have Wo»- Had He Not Run Away for Nearly 180 Miles When Taken to the Post Where is the piker or perpetual fol lower of "good things" at the race track who hasn't played the "hunch" to the limit. Hunches are peculiar things. Whence they come, where they go, no one knows. Whenever a hunch happens around right and makes good it is touted broadcast, but the tens of thousands of hunches which fall down in a practical test are unheard of. The greatest hunch is the dream. The hot brained form player who nev er cashes a bet acquires; a habit of dreaming that such-and-such a horse won a race. Forever afterwards, un til that horse is actually entered in a race, the unfortunate dreams of what he will flo with all the wealth which ho expects to win when the dream land horse goes to the post. One of these dreamers recently recounted his experiences to a crowd of followers of the form charts about like this: "There was once a tall negro around the New York tracks who cleaned up several small fortunes by dreaming for a living. He worked a pretty shrewd game for several months be fore he was found out. "He would approach a prospective bettor and say, 'Bobs, Ise had a dream 'bout dls hoss', naming one of the long Rhots in the race, and if the bait was swallowed he woul catch an other Rucker and so on until he had some one down on every horse In tho race. . "After he had received several thous and dollars as his part of such dream tips, he was detected and run away from the track. Ran Away 186 Miles "Out at the track I took mine out in masticating salted peanuts until the fourth race, the race in which the black babesky of the slumber hunch was to towrope 'em. "When the slates were hoisted the black one was the only 100 to 1 thing In the lot. I got my $30 down on him In sawbuck lots at that figure, and then leaned against the rail to watch the start, right In front of the stand. "The black butterfly ran away from them all and hid, all right. He was 100 yards in front of them all before they knew what was coming off. Fact Ik, the others hadn't started at all. "He was the only one to start. He was in such a hurry that he burst through the barrier as soon as they lined up in front of the webbing. Ha probably thought he was to run in a walk-over in the Me Only stakes. "He tossed his boy at the first turn, hopped the infield fence, went the full steeplechase course twice around, flag ging the jumps, and then he gamboled over the high fence inclosing the ground and took for the veldt. "They got him about three weeks later, up around Troy or somewhere near the headwaters of the Hudson, where they found him feeding on acorns and wild berries and slick as a circus Shetland. "But that didn't take all of the curl out of my dream dope. I knew that the black would have connected if he'd got away on a line with the others, and I knew, too, that If the race had been about two miles, or the distance between Long Island and Albany, the black would have won by about three days. So I Just waited for another dream. "It came along, all right, one night. I dreamed that I saw a bright maza rine blue horse spinning along the stretch, just fit to kill. The blue horsa was so much doubled up with the laughs that he swerved and zigzagged all over the track in the last sixteenth, but he got home in front by as far ay from here to Bladensburg. When I came to next morning I lay In bed quite a while trying to Interpret that one. It didn't look like a legtimate coin-aggregating hunch to me, for who over heard of * blue horse? I was on the point of passing up that slumber suggestion when I picked up the paper at breakfast to take a look at the en tries for that day. "True Blue and Blueaway were slat ed to go In the first race. "Oh, I guess I'm the punk dreamist, hey?' said I to myself then, when I saw those two names, and both of them swell horses. "I was in New Orleans a few months later. During the long winter mud meeting there I dreamed that I saw a pure white horse winning a race all by himself at the New Orleans track. I woke up chuckling, for I knew that a pure white race horse, a plugovitch by the name of Elmer S., was going to race at the track on the very next day. In addition to the dream, for which I'd have fallen with a thud only a few brief months before. I saw about twenty-three red-headed women around town that morning and on my way to the track. "When the bunch with the white Elmer S. In it paraded to the post I was all a-gurgle with self-congratula tion to think of how I had broke away from that dream junk. 'Only a little while ago,' I gloated to myself. 'If anything bearing on or appertaining to a white plug like that Elmer S. had flashed through me while I was in the hay I'd have had a temperature of 109 until I got a chance to Joggle In all of my change on it, and here I am now, just a-laughing, and with a ticket on the sure-enough winner in my pocket.' "Just then the field got away, and Elmer S., the white one, taking a dis like to the company he found himself in, when the far turn was reached, Just nicked up his doll rags and came horn« alone, with all of the 150 to 1 against him that you could have shot a bis cuit at out of a 10-Inch gun. "And this sums up in a few reasons why, when I hear the dream boya valving out escaping steam about the droskeys of dough they've hauled away through .somnambulistic selec tions, I feel like staking 'em to a smokes the fumes of which don't go to th« head."
