•The Seals had a bunch of the vic
torious goods in their vest pockets
r'or f.\x spasms on the Oakland lot yes
terday r.fternoon. Then there was an
;iwful switch and the Commuters, went
through their opponents' clothing, re
moving the winning certificates. Three
ims were hammered through l>y the
>akland brigade in the sixth and one
n-the seventh. Though the Sfals wpiu
of one in their half of the ninth, the
was too fast and they 'quit with
n^n still on the bases.
Bigbce sot the example for liis tram
nat^s in tlie disaster period by olout
•a% safely Into oenf-r. Haley had one ,
T\-jth the same brand on it and Bill
'i>\prpaux varied the monotony by
iking n base on balls for himself,
his made it a house full of anxious
Kik!an<l<TS and not a soul to the bad
ilit.ll Hopkins skied to Strelb.
Jimmy Smith, the next man up,
iiould have be^n bowled over quite
s easily, for all ho did was to tap
. pimple one to th* Seal second base
nan. But Streib did not aim at the
• !at£ when he tossed to catch Bigbee.
;.r.d as a consequence both Bigbee and
Haley rejristei<d and Brick reached
tiiird. He lingered there only uutil
Van llalticn produced a long fly to
risht.
This gave Oakland a lead of a run,
but just to polish off the rough work
•. lie Suburbanites swung in with a fin
isher in the eighth. Biiss and Bigbee
.<K!.-<-d tlie leather liard to the outrieM
. . ! liaJey lifted a long fly against the
sight iield fence, giving Bliss all the
lime he wanted to parade as far as
the p\iiie.
The only period in which the Seals
iiKU'^d prominently was the third.
£ire<?t drew a four spot and Jones
Landed o:; Bigbee's boot. Tlilde beat a
Vjnt and all were safe. Piper's bingJe
put Street through and Williams gave
Jones a chance to register by going
out to first.
Street's nice two cushion drive to

Cubs and Tigers Battle Twelve Thrilling Innings to a Draw
Spectacular But Indecisive Contest Opens Series for
the World's Baseball Championship
Sp<jziai by Leased Wire to The Call
; CHICAGO.- Oct. S. — The Cubs and the
I Tiger* fought and clawed one another
| for 12 thrilling: nnd spectacular Innings
I at the west wide jungle this afternoon
| and darknrxx finally put an end to the
i titnnlc battle with the score , 3 to 3.
| Xever in the history of the world*
\u25a0 scries under the national agreement has
a more fierce or exciting; battle of
champions been waged. It was Greek
meeting Greek and diamond matching
diamond, hut neither would allow the
, other to ttcorc the first triumph in what
; promises to- be the greatest world's
I (series ever contested. . Each team bad
| many chanccn to win the game, but the
j Tigers threw away several of theirs
by poor head work in the early innings.
Then' "Wild' Bill" Donovan, who pitched
a wonderful same, tightened up on
the National . league champions when
they threatened to trample upon his
cherished plate.
The Cubs virtually had the game
won in the tjenth, vrhen Slagle scored
on a wild pitch by Donovan, but Steln
teldt interfered with Catcher Schmidt,
and Umpire Hank O'Day rightfully
called Slagle out. Again, In • the
eleventh, the Cubs had the bases full,
with one' out, but Zimmerman fanned
i and Reulbacb forced Sen ul to at second.
'\u25a0 FINISH IS SPECTACULAR
The finish of the great struggle was
; as spectacular and dramatic as could
!be imagined. When the,' locals opened
j the last half of the twelfth darkness
I was rapidly creeping over the hu
• inanity incased arena and it was cer
| tajn that the gladiators would ' be
pulled from one another's throats at the
end of the roun. The Cubs, realizing
that it was their last chance, put forth
every effort in their power to win, but
the fates willed otherwise. ,
Slagle, the first man up, was out -on
a grounder to O'Leary, but Shreckard
was hit'by one of Donovan's more inti
mate shoots. Manager . Chance then
stung a terrific, liner, but Herman
Schaefer, leaping high, speared.it with
one hand and doubled Slireckard off
first. It was a marvelous play, and it
was some seconds before the vast crowd
could gpalize that ; the great struggle
was at an end.
The game was filled with thrilling
and heart breaking situations.. The
Cubs took the lead in the fourth round,
when Johnny Kling sent his manager
across the plate with 'the' initial 'run of
the great series. Everything . went
along in fine shape until the National
lcaug"ers : took a brief balloon. excursion
in the eighth inning, and this, aided
by two hits, sent three runs across the
pan and gave the Tigers what appeared
to be an insurmountable lead. „
CUBS DISPLAY GAMEXESS
The Tigers are considered the gamest
team in the business, but the Cubs were
there with nerve ; in the ninth. A hit,
two errors, a hit batter and a" pair of
out gave them two, runs. 1 This tied
the game in agordian knot,,which,de
fied the strenuous efforts of ; the two
contestants to untie In s the succeeding
three innings. _-
"Wild Bill" Donovan, the great
twirlet- of the Detroit team,, was the
real hero of the afternoon,' but big Ed
Ruebach, who held the men from Michi-
Reulbach, who held the men from Michi
deserving of great .credit, .as he had
the Tigers on the defensive all the time
after the. score .had been; tied.; *

"ftnSSELX. JARVIS.
San lTuneisco, October 6. 1907.
- Tlie rulings this gentleman gives are
perfectly correct, but at the same time,
the decisions I rendered on the points
I in- question also were ; correct, as I
gave .the direct interpretation of the
law as applied to the particular points
Hn neutral territory, as they occurred)
: submitted to me.
While there are no "direct written
laws" covering the interpretations to
which Mr. Jarvis calls attention, it is
an admitted "unwritten law," and the
decisions. in his. letter, coincide with the
"referee's references" of all the princi
pal referees'' associations of the world,
and personally, they; are rulings 1 use
In practice.and used in the big game
last: year.
Russell Jarvis brings up what are
known to referees as "points," and
such "points"' can be found in almost
every : question asked. The correct
decision on these "points" (which are
different from the original questions
asked of me) probably will be interest
ing to others of the general public,
and I publish the letter, which cer
tainly gives a clear and concise decision
on Hhe-two 1 :- "points." '.
;.No referee isinfallable and I greatly
appreciate : the action "of "anyone who
calls attentipn.^to rulings with: which
they ; do not agree. If I find that my
rulings at a«y time are: incorrect I
am sportsman enough to: admit it. In
this instance, though, I am correct.

JOHNSON ON HIS WAY
TO FIGHT JIM FLYNN
Husky Smoke Is Due From
New York in Latter
Part of Week
There is no longer any reason to
believe; that bis Jack Johnson, the
pride of Chicago's darktown. is about
to weaken and fail to appear on time
for 'his meeting with Jim Flynn at
Colusa .near the end of . the month.
Promoter Jim Coff roth received a tele
gram from Johnson yesterday after
noon, saying that he would leave last
evening ; for this city in company with
his , manager, Sam * Fitzpatrick. They
are due Saturday. Coffroth was much
rel ieved when he was handed the tele
gram, for he had a lurking fear that
the big smoke would run. out on him
at the critical moment. -j '
Coffroth has been having his troubles
with the telegraph wires. Time and
time again he shot messages across to
Johnson in Gotham, but failed to re
ceive any* replies. He could cot figure
it out until yesterday, when he learned
from Johnson that the latter had not
received, the message "reserving two
railroad tickets and Pullman berths for
him. In the meantime Johnson was
waiting for Coffroth to come through
with the pasteboards, which were
awaiting, him in New York.
Johnson has never been a .drawing
card, in this city for- the reason that
he was always for the chicken hearted
tactics— something that the sports of
the Golden state do not appreciate.
Flynn - has the reputation of being a
rough, rugged fellow, and for'this rea
son it is figured that a big. crowd will
be there when he lines up against John
son. Most of the fans probably will at
tend in the 'hope of seeing big Jack
receive a beating that will make him
jump out of the ring.
It begins to look as though Owen
Moran, the British bantam champion, is
not coming out here, as Frankle Nell
and his friends had hoped. Moran was
reported as being in New York a waek
'ago. but since that time neither Coff
roth nor Neil has heard from him.
Moran was ostensibly making his way
to California in order to get on with
Neil for the championship of the world,
and Frankie'had visions of wearing
the belt. Unless something stars very
soon Frankie will be compelled to stall
around and search for another one.
This will be a difficult job. for the rea
son that there are few good boys in
the fighting game in Neil's class.
There is talk of putting on Bill
Squires and Bob TV'ard'at the Reliance
club in a six round mill soon. Imagine
poor BUI, touted as a champion of the
world/descending to the level of a ham
and egg fighter, and all within the
short space of four months. But when
they jump into that old toboggan they
generally go some. There have been
many fast rides of late, but Bill has
shown more . speed than any of the
others on the great greased plank ,thi<t
leads to the door of the D. and O. club
house. .
fore Saturday. They are devoting; the
whole week to special hard practice
under the" watchful eye of Dr. Taylor.
The Stanford freshies ought to reg
ister another win today from their
less experienced opponents. In the last
two days they have lmprovd greatly
In theiX play in. all positions. I*ana
gan and Presley are pointing out the
faults to the men and showing them

been very beneficial and the cardinal
babies hope to make good on Saturday
with the knowledge gained.
