Jim Griffin Chosen to Referee Heavy Weight Battle
FIGHTERS SETTLE
THE LAST DETAIL
Fans Are Offering Even Money
for the Big Mixup on
Saturday
Jim Griffin will be the man to break
Al Kaufman and Luther McCarty when
they step into the ring- at the Eighth
street arena on Saturday afternoon. The
auburn h&ired promoter, manager and
referee was chosen yesterday after
noon at a meeting between the rival
managers, Al White and Billy McCar
ney. Griffin was selected after both
managers had turned down several
other aspirants.
Jim knows the game from A to Z and
is as good a judge as there Is in the
country. It was he who refereed the
last meeting between Abe Attell and
Harlem Tommy Murphy and he gave
as good an exhibition as has been given
In a local ring in years. Therefore, his
choice is a popular one and will meet
with the approval of all the followers
of the game of Queensberry.
The very fact that McCarty comes to
San Francisco for the first time, touted
as the greatest of all the great white
hopes and the very man to take the
title away from Jack Johnson, does
not seem to disturb the admirers of
Kaufman. They are now laying even
money on the heavyweight battle on
Saturday afternoon. It's a case of take
your choice, much to the surprise of
the wise boys who figured McCarty "a
strong favorite.
Kaufman should be thankful to his
friends for the amount of confidence
they have placed in him. The giant
Californian has been anything but a
consistent performer during the last
year and a half. In fact, he has lost
practically every start. Still, they be
lieve that he has a couple of good
fights left.
HARD BATTLE EXPECTED
The fans look for a good, hard,
grueling battle, one of the toughest in
fact that this city has known in many
months past. Any time that two
giants i . the McCarty and Kaufman
type come together in a twenty round j
mixup there is bound to be action, the j
fast and furious kind that they like j
so well.
Both men fight similar. They de
pend principally upon their strength.
Sod not their skill. Both will weigh |
more than 200 pounds. McCarty is going !
to have the advantage in height, reach j
and poundage, but whether these quail- |
ficatlons will offset the experience of
the big blacksmith remains to he
seen. Kaufman knows the game far
better than his opponent. He has'j
been in it for the last seven years, ',
during which time he has met the j
best of them, including Johnson him
self.
The fans are adding up all these I
qualifications and weighing them out. j
They have summed the assets of both i
men up, and now have come to the |
conclusion that even money is the
right price. This is what Commis
sioner Tom Corbett offered last even
ing, and he recorded quite a number
of wagers, showing very plainly that
the fans are well smoked up over the
coming battle between the big fellows.
In Justice to Kaufman it must be
said that he now looks 100 per cent
better than he has looked for the
last two years. His long rest, most
of it spent in the mountains, had the
effect of building the blacksmith up
after his losing spell. He works
faster, apparently hits harder and
does not show the signs of fatigue
which he showed when he returned
from his last eastern campaign.
KAUFMAN VERY CONFIDENT
"I signed to meet McCarty because
Flynn ran out on me," said Kaufman
yesterday. "They can't accuse me of
trying to pick out the easy ones. I
have been doing the best I can to get
a match with any of them, but my luck
seems to -have turned. Lots of them
say that I am all in, but they are side
stepping me all the same. i beat
Flynn once and he won't take any
more chances with me.
"They cay that McCarty Is a big,
atrong, tough fellow, the best of the
whole bunch of white hopes. Well, I
only hope that he is. I want to show
my friends that I can still fight. I
signed up to meet McCarty principally
because he was the only one who weuld
go on with me. Now, if I beat him I
will go right aaek after Flynn and
Palzer and force them into matches."
The California giant certainly ap
pears to be game and confident. He is
not afraid to try. He must belfeve
that he la atill as good as ever else he
would not be taking on the huskiest
hope of the outfit. He is not looking
for suiy odds either. He agreed upon
the terms which McCarty proposed,
showing that he is not the slightest
bit afraid of the man from Nebraska. 1
Kaufman always was a good fighter
in his home town. He won practically
all his battles here since his start,
which was a bad one, for he lost to
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien In 17 rounds.
But Al was only a mere kid them. He
rallied quickly after that setback and
was a regular winner up to a year
and a half ago when he lost to Flynn.
Now he is trying for another come
back.
FIGHTERS GRINDING AWAY
The Californian never boasted of
being clever, neither do his friends
claim that he is fast. But they musi
all take their hats off to him for his
gameness. He can t&ke more punish
ment than any heavy weight who
r.vev stepped Into a ring, barring
Tom Sharkey. When he was fighting
right, they all sidestepped him. Even
Johnson did not want him over the
long route.
Now it is up to big Al to make
good or quit the game. He must de
liver or else he will be out of the run
ning. This is positively his last chance
and he probably realizes it aa
well as does the general public. A vic
tory will put him right back in the
limelight, and he will have a very
good license to go right after his two
conquerors, Flynn and Palzer.
Despite the fact that the battle is
very close at hand, Kaufman waded
through seven fast rounds with three
sparring partners over at Al White's
place yesterday afternoon. He took on
Frank Moran. the Pittsburg heavy
weight, for three rounds, and then
whirled around with Young Herman
and Otto Berg for two sessions each.
He finished strong and wanted mora
action.
McCarty is also going at a fast clip.
Down at Milieu's yesterday afternoon
he reeled off eight rounds, taking on
Ed Kennedy, Al Williams, Joe Lanum
and Montana Dan Sullivan for two
rounds each. He really was faster
at the finish than he was when he
started, showing that he likes the dis
tance. This is one of the reasons why
they believe that he will wear Kauf
man down.

had him if he had held the ball. Trls
would have scored any way, as Lewis
followed with a double to right, which
looked so much like a J. Franklin
Baker when it started Its course that
the hearts of the New York rootera
died within them.
Fast fielding by Becker held Lewis
on second, and then it was up to the
king of them all to retire Gardner and
Stahl—which he did, leaving Lewis
stranded on third. It was a ragged
game all around, but replete with
thrills that shook the fans to the mar
row and left them weak and weary
after Silk O'Loughlin announced 'the
end of hostilities.
MATTY SHOWS HIS WIT
Cheers and groans in quick suc
cession made the stands fairly trem
ble. Of the two teams, the Giants
seemed to be superior. If Fletcher
had succeeded In stopping Gardner's
drive In the eighth, the game would
never have gone into extra innings.
After the seventh Matty had absolutely
nothing on the ball, and only his wits,
courage and marvelous control blocked
the path to a Boston victory; still
Stahl'ar men, try as they might, could
not drive him to the clubhouse.
The game started as though the
Giants would make a runaway of it
McGraw had shifted his batting order
and Snodgrass was the flrst man to
face Collins. The second ball pitched
seemed to please the fancy of the big
Califomian, and he lifted it to the feft
field bleachers for a clean double.
Doyle's judgment was not so good and
the Giant captain fanned. Becker
sent an easy bounder to Yerkes and
was thrown out at first.
At this point Umpire Silk O'Lough
lin infringed on the liberty of the
American press by getting the pho
tographers off the field, 'to the great
amusement of the bleachers. When
piay was resumed Murray hit a hard
liner to Collins, who succeeded in
knocking it down and getting the
ball to first in time to retire the side.
UIAXTS WAX GENEROUS
In the Giants' half of the first inning
there was one of those weird exhibi
tions of class C ball for which Mc-
Graw's men are noted at times, and
which presented the Red Sox with
three runs when they should have had
none.
Mathewson was liberally applauded
when he went to the mound. It may
have been the applause, for when
Hooper hit a grounder which would
have gone to Doyle for a sure out,
Big Six made a reach for it and suc
ceeded to stifling it so that Hooper
was safe. Almost immediately Hooper
made the first successful steal of the
game, going down to second as Yerkes
struck at a wide one.
Fletcher added to the gayety of the
Boston fans by muffing an easy fly
by Yerkes, missing an opportunity for
a sure double play.
Tris Speaker pulled the unexpected
when he dropped a perfect bunt along
the third base line, and the bases were
filled. A brilliant play by Herzog, by
which Hooper was forced at the plate on
a bounder by Lewis, saved Matty for a
moment, but the slaughter was only
delayed.
GARDNER SKINAED
Yerkes scored when Larry Gardner
died at first, and Speaker led Lewis
over the plate when Stahl whaled the
ball into left field for a single. Wag
ner ended the frame by popping out to
Larry Doyle.
The Giants took partial revenge in
their half of the second inning and
got a runner home. Fred Merkle opened
by striking out on three pitched balls.
Herzog tripled to the center field
bleachers and Meyers almost felled
Larry Gardner with a grounder which
took a bad bound and struck him be
tween the eyes. Herzog rushed home
and Meyers reached flrst, but nothing
further happened after Matty forced
him at second.
Hooper doubled for a starter in Bos
ton's half after Carrigan had died on a
bounder to Fletcher and Collins had
suffered a similar fate at the hands of
Doyle. Yerkes swung mightily and a
weak grounder to Fletcher resulted.
Only six batters faced the pitchers
In the third. Collins got Snodgrass on
a fly to Hooper. Doyle on a foul to
Gardner and Becker on a grounder to
Wagner. Speaker grounded to Merkle,
who made a grand stop and beat the
runner by sliding in to the bag. Lewis
flied to Murray and Gardner closed the
inning by grounding to Doyle.
GOING IP FOR GIANTS
In the fourth the Giants began to
climb. They showed si£ns of solving
the delivery of Collins and registered
two hits. Murray opened with a triple
and, after Merkle died on a foul to
Gardner, Herzog poled a long fly which
Speaker dragged down a few feet from
the center field stands. Murray scored
easily. Meyers drove a hot single
through Wagner which Heine did well
to stop, but Fletcher again filed to
Hooper and the inning was over.
Matty again got the side in order.
He struck out Stahl, induced Wagner to
fly to Murray and then Carrigan
grounded to Fletcher.
In the Giant's half of the fifth Col
lins was at his best. He fanned
Mathewson and repeated on Snodgrass.
Doyle popped up to Lewis. Only a
good play by Fletcher, his only meri
torious deed so far, saved Mathewson
from serious trouble in the fifth. After
Collins struck out Hooper got his third
consecutive hit, a wallop to center.
FLETCHER AN ERROR STAR
Hooper arrived at second base In
safety, thanks to Fletcher's muff of a
perfect throw by Chief Meyers. Steve
Yerkes, another "weak hitter," drove a
| triple to deep center and scored Hooper.
Speaker drove a savage liner for left
field which Fletcher speared and got
Yerkes off third base for a fine double
play.
After Becker went out on a grounder
to Yerkes in the sixth Murray singled
sharply to center field, Merkle filed to
Speaker and, with Herzog waiting Col
lins out, Murray died stealing second
base.
SOX FAIL TO GAIN
After Fletchers error gave a Ufa to
Lewis, Matty got Gardner, Stahl and
Wagner on rollers to the box.
When Herzog came up again In the
seventh inning he shot a single to
center field and a moment later made
a pretty steal of second. There he re
mained, for Meyer* popped to Yerkes,
Fletcher popped to Stahl and Matty
struck out again.
The Red Sox made no headway
against Matty in their half. A fine
play, Hersog to Merkle, told the tale
of Carrigan; Collins struck out and
Doyle took care of Hooper's grounder.
Ray Collins was knocked out of the
box In the eighth and the Giants took
a lead which looked to be sufficient to
win. Duffy Lewis started the trouble
by dropping a hard smash by Fred
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1912.
Australian Rugby Methods
Described for Call Readers
Pointers That May Well Be Studied by California Football Men, Be
They Coaches, Trainers or Freshman Aspirants
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct 9.-I have
called upon to put into cold print a few
ts on training and practicing matters for
the benefit of The Call's readers. I at first
hesitated, but in the face of the whole hearted
and magnificent reception Galifornians have
extended to Australia's representatives, I most
willingly place before you the general methods
of training and government of Rugby union
football in our country.
The season opens in May and closes In Sep
tember of each year, and 2,325 schoolboys
take part in the various grades of competi
tions—one grade of boys having their weight
limited to 98 pounds. There are also 1,540 men
playing in competition, other than school sideß.
The winners of each grade receive at the
end of the season a premiership pennant. Ten
teams comprise our flrst grade section. From
their ranks 17 of the 24 players now touring
California were drawn by three selectors—ex
perienced men who have retired from the
game.
Of the above mentioned players 3,865 in all
are under the direct supervision of the Metro
politan union of Sydney only, a city with a
population of 600,000 people.
For misbehavior on the field, such as illegal tackling,
profanity, reckless use of hands and feet, abusing or dis
puting with the referee, players are first cautioned. Dis
regard of warning results in their being ordered off the
field, and they are under suspension until they appear
before the union officials when evidence is taken for both
sides.
Punishment varying from acquittal to a life disqualifi
cation from the game is meted out.
Twice a week training and* practice is carried out by
the senior teams, mostly at night. Practice during the
day is more beneficial, but, unfortunately, men having
their professions or business to attend to can not usually
get to the field before 7:30 o'clock in the evening.
Each of the ten flrst grade clubs controls a playing
field, and often a large hall with an earthen floor covered
with tanbark on which to handle the ball and study
team work.
Snodgrass. Doyle laced a hot single
to center and Snodgrass took second.
Doyle was forced by Yerkea, Snodgrass
remaining at third. Once more Murray
rose to the occasion, and it was his
rousing two bagger that scored Snod
grass and placed Becker on third.
Right here Stahl took out Collins, and
Charley Hall was called upon to perform
his rescue specialty. Charley's first ef
fort was a huge success, and he got
a high foul to Carrigan.
Then* came Herzog. He sent up a
twisting foul, on which Carrigan made
a great effort, and, in fact had it in hia
mitt, but could not hold it. On the next
ball Herzog got a beautiful double to
extreme center field, which scored
Becker and Murray and placed the
Giants in possession of a one run lead.
FLETCHER'S GREASED MITT
Fletcher performed his little greased
glove specialty In the last half of.the
eighth, and to that alone do the Boston
men owe their saving grace of a drawn
battle. Matty dismissed Yerkes on a
high fly to Murray, and choked off
Speaker's bouncer to the box in time to
Trls at first. Duffy Lewis, however,
drove one into deep left center field,
and Murray, trying to make a leaping
catch, fell over the railing and sprawled
into the stands, where for a moment he
lay stunned.
The fans picked him up, cheering him
for his effort. Gardner then drove a
savage grounder through Fletcher, get
ting two bases, while Lewis hurried
home with the run that tied the score.
Doyle juggled a grounder by Stahl, so
SWIMMERS READY

All the Cracks Are Entered for
Big Academic Tournament
Tomorrow Evening *
Entries for the twentieth semiannual,
swimming tournament of the Academic
Athletic league were announced yes
terday by Tom Lalne, chairman of the
committee. The best swimmers from
every high school of the city have en
tered and some flrst class performances
will result when they come together
on Friday night In the T. M. C. A.
tank.
Lincoln Johnson, the- Pacific associa
tion quarter mile champion will be
entered In both the quarter and the
220 events. He holds the Academic
league records in both and there is a
probability that he will set new marks.
Besides the regular A. A. L. program
there will be a series of speed swim
ming exhibitions by members of the
Y. M. C. A. team. Ernie Smith, former
ly of the Lowell team and holder of the
A. A. L. 100 yard record, will make an
attempt to break the coast record of
60 seconds held by Scott Leary. A
special 25 yard race will be swum by
Nixon and O'Malley In an effort to
smash Nixon's figures of 11 3-5 seconds*.

{Special Dispatch to The Call]
The team is directed in its maneuvers Dy
the captain, but (please note) any suggestion
as to the betterment of the side is open to free
discussion. Worthy suggestions are considered
and tried out right away. It is then mutually
settled. If the new tactics—stunts, you call
them—are adopted, they are further tried out
during the game on the following Saturday
afternoon.
Any further weaknesses noticed during the
games from time to time are thrashed out, and
if possible rectified.
Every reasonable means is taken, chiefly
with the aid of a blackboard and chalk, to
create a general understanding among the
players. This tends toward better combination
and uniformity, thereby strengthening the side.
Care is taken to make practice night as
cheerful and pleasant as possible. The nights,
other than when the moon shines brightly are
too dark to practice kicking and fielding, so
the members make the most of running around
the field. At the commencement of the season
they might run four or five miles slowly; later
the pace is increased and the distance de
creased; still later in the season sharp sprint
ing worg should be carried out.
Bear in mind that no coaches are employed—other
than when some enthusiastic lover of the game offers
his services gratis, chiefly to school teams. Everything
is peacefully settled by the players themselves. How
ever, to select the teams from week to week three men
are elected annually by club members, invariably includ-
When the flrst teams are in want of a player they
draw on the seconds, and so on right down to the schools.
Again, we strongly object to having instructions
shouted at us from other than the captain during the
progress of a game.
If a man is fully primed up with what he is expected
to do before going on the field, and he fails to carry
his part through, he is not chosen again to play; he drops
back to a lower grade until his weakness is overcome.
All the rooting or shouting possible can not improve
matters.
Matty saved the situation by fanning
Wagner.
Hall pulled out of a nasty hole of his
own digging in the ninth inning, after
two men were out. He began by get
ting Fletcher out of the way via short
stop to flrst base, and then made it
Matty to first; then suddenly he lost
the combination and passed Snodgrass,
Becker and Doyle in a row, with Mur
ray coming up to bat. He grooved one
to Murray and offered a prayer as he
did so. The Giant fielder swung
mightily, but he only rolled one down
to Wagner and Becker was forced at
second.
SHORT AND PAINFUL
Carrigan's liner to the box. Hall's fly
to Merkle and Hooper's pop to Doyle
told the story of Boston's half of the
ninth.
Merkle opened Are In the tenth in
ning with a triple to deep center. Char-
He Herzog shot one down to Wagner
and Merkle was held on the far turn.
Meyers was passed, but only momen
tary respite was so gained. Shafer ran

ting for Fletcher, died on a sacrifice
By to Lewis, and once more the hopes
of the Giants soared. Matty was
cheered as he came up. but he ended
the Inning by popping to Yerkes.
Wilson was behind the bat for New
York in the tenth and Shafer went to
short. After Wilson pegged out Yerkes
Speaker tripled to deep center and slid

Lewis doubled a later mat
tered not, for Doyle made a brilliant
play on Gardner, as did Herzog on a
shot by Stahl. Then the aide was re
tired.
Bedient replaced Hall in the box
for the Red Sox In the final inning
and got into hot water right away.
He pitched one a little too close to
Snodgrass and Fred took a slight tip
on his arm and walked to first base,
while the Boston fans booed. Larry
Doyle fanned. With the count one and
two on Becker, Snodgrass tried to steal
aecond, but was caught a mile by Car
rlgan'a fine throw. Becker also walked,
but he. too. trifled with Bill's arm and
died a swift death.
Darkness was fast descending when
the Red Sox came up for their turn at
bat and O'Loughlin held a hurried
consultation with Rigler, but the lat
ter was seen to shake his head in the
negative, and the game continued.
Shafer won his place not alone in the
heart of McGraw, but in the hearts
of the partisan fans, by making a
brilliant stop and throw of a wicked
grounder by Wagner to deep shortstop,
and half a dozen seconds later he re
peated himself on a hot bouncer by
Carrigan. The ball hit Shafer a
wicked blow under the floating ribs,
and for the moment knocked his wind
out, but he soon took his place to the
lineup.
When Hersog threw out Bedient,
O'Loughlin called the game on account
of darkness and announced that it
would be played off here tomorrow.

ST. MARY'S FAILS

Blue and Gold Ruggers in the
Meantime Run Up
Twenty~one
HERMAN H. PHLEGER
BERKELEY, Oct. 9.—The blue and
gold varsity football team this after
noon ran up a score of 21 to 0 against
tbe team of St. Mary's college.
Tbe game was replete with fumbles
and poorly executed forward play*. In
the scrum work the visitors repeatedly,
hooked the ball from the varsity fronC
rankers. The goal kicking was not up
to the usual standard, there being no
conversions out of seven tries. Thia
was due to a considerable extent to thai
high north wind.
For the visitors the work of Bimsor*
in the forwards and Incell of the backg
was noticeable. Incell succeeded in in
tercepting passes on two occasions* and
got away for one 40 yard run. His
boot also proved of great value on the
defense. For the varsity Stroud and
Fletcher played a goQd game.
The first try was the result of a drib
bling rush by Fletcher, who received
the ball from a 15 yard lineout. A.
moment later Fletcher repeated the
same play for another three points.
Allen scored a moment later as the
result of a pretty run of 20 yard*. The
fourth score was the result of a drib
bling rush by the forwards, Waldner
falling on the ball after it had crossed
the line. The last score of the opening
period was made by Allen after secur
ing from a dribbling rush.
In the second half the varsity was
able to score twice. Hosklns fell on the
ball for a try after a dribbling rush,
and Fletcher secured the last score by
running five yards from a lineout.
The lineup was:
