VILLAGERS TRIM YANNIGANS IN
BRILLIANT AND EXCITING GAME
OPPOSING TWIRLERS SHOW UP IN SPLENDID FORM AND ARE
WELL SUPPORTED
Perfect Playing Probably Would Have Given Hogan and His Coast
Leaguera Credit for Shutout Victory, as They Had Only Earned
Run Scored—Hensling and Hitt Hold Sox Clouters Down
to Three Scattered Safeties — Doc White and Holm
Pitch Effectively, but Misplays Back of Them at
Critical Stages Decide Fortunes of Game
Against Them — Was Final Appearance
Here of No. 2—Regs Due Thursday
HAPPY HOOAN ami his village cutupa tooh the final game of their
spring- serins with the "Wlilte Pox JTannigang yesterday afternoon at
the Chutes by the score of 2 to i, and thereby mm the <>dd game
between them. Happy should have had a 1 to .1 shutout victory, l>ut Braghear,
covering first for Fisher, In an attempted double play, fumbled tlio ball, and
the Son managed to squeeze In a run before the side was retired In that
; ular inning. Then, to take away some of the glory of having
beaten the Box. the winning run was scored In such a titfht fit at the
home plate that many of the fans and all the White Sox wore of the
opinion that Umpire Finney had strained ft point in favor of the Yernons in
calling Coy safe when he slid Into the jilate with the winning run.
The game was the claSHlesl exhibition of the spring series and was
witnessed by one of the largest crowds of tho seasont Tho opposing
twlrli rs were in fine form, and were brilliantly supported in the Held,
although the Sox twlrlera were victims of three weird plays that counted
materially in the scoring. Not a run was scored until the sixth Inning,
when the Villnßers scored (■inc. The Sox tied the score in the eighth,
following tho fumble by Brashear at first, and the home puard rallied
Strongly enough in their half of tho ninth to get over the winning run,
witii only one man down. That the game was fast throughout is shown by
the laet that only an hour and forty minutes were required to play out
the nine Innings.
Doc While went on the mound for his team at the start, and so ef
lly did he toss over his southenders that only two hits, with no runs,
resulted while he was twirling. Holm, a right-hander, succeeded him in
the sixth, end the Villagers found the change to their liking, pettlnp their
first run in that Inning. Hensllng pitched five Innings for Vernon, and
did as well as While in the matter of hits and runs, allowing only
two scattering safeties ami refusing to allow a Whits So X baserunner
to get as far as third Hilt took his place in the sixth and gave up one
hit and one run while he was doing duty on the firing line.
The first run scored by the Vernon outfit resulted from two errors nt
stages of the contest when perfect fielding would have prevented a run
being scored. Hitt was safe at first on a low throw by Cole to (illl.
Carlisle sacrificed and Burrell singled to short, }li!t going to third. Mar
tiiik. hit a hoi one down to third and was safe on a fielder's choice,
as big old lumbering iiitt trie! to score and was run down between third
and home. Brashear drew a pasi anil Coy singled infield, being safe on
the fumble of the chance by Tannehlll, Burrell getting home on the play.
Hitt got into hot water quickly when he opened tin eighth by slamming
Shaw in the ribs with a hot in curve. Tannehlll connected with another
that went down the third has.. Hue, and Krueger sacrificed Holm
drew a base on balls. iillii,K the bags, Harrows forced Shaw at the plate,
Fisher to Brown, and should have been doubled out at first, but Hras
hear, covering the bag, fumbled the throw from Drown. Then. Hitt
tossed a wild one that went to the grand stand, and Tannehill was present
ed « Ith a Kilt score.
Wlvn the ninth opened it lo.iknri like an extra-inning contest, as the
weaker hatters were first on call. But Coy fooled everybody by doubling
to the center field fence, and the ball almost bounded out of tho lot.
Lindsay sacrificed, and then Hogan sent Kitten Brashear In to bat for
Fisher. Kit bunted safely and Coy slid for the plate, ball and run
ner arriving at aboul hi same Instant. Everybody, almost, thought that
coy had been nailed, but the umpire called him safe, and the game
was over.
The game yesterday wound up the spring training trip of the Yanni
in the southland, and they left last night for Santa Maria t.i play
Portland today, The Sox regulars wound up th'-ir Frisco schedule ■
day with a double defeat, and left for Fresno, where they play today and
tomorrow. They go to Bakersfleld the next day and will arrive In Los
Angeles some time Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Thej are due to

California rifle match at Schuetzen

No attempt was made to make

Shifting light and variable winds kept
tile totals down, even had the mix
tures of ammunition and the riddling
with sights not done io,
K. ('. l'riee, a new convert to the
club, turned out with a sporting rifle
and demonstrated that he would Vie
in the winning claw with a military
arm. He placed an order for a new
Springfield, and it is expected that he
will develop into .a topnotcher with
practice.
Crawford, Kellogg, Umsted and Irv
ing did not appear, apparently feeling
that they were in a clau thai required
no practice. The merits of this Idea
will I"- demonstrated next Bunday.
It is rumored that K< Hogg and Mc-
Mannon retired to a so hide I spot near
the city with a pair of double-barreled
swords to settle the little difficulty
that arose over an appropriation of
Kellogg'a property by the said McMan
non last Sunday. Judging by Kel-
ogg"a scores one week aj,*o, he will be
brought bark feet first if good marks
manship is required to keep his hide
whole.
The club has gained eight memberi

being Stewart Edward White of Bantfl

Springfield rides, in addition to the
club gallery rifle used In the Indoor
matches of tin 1 \\ I; a indoor league-
Through Hi" 'inn's having the only
half way respectable range in the

Saturday, while a company of the
militia has leasi d the ran-
two Sundays a, month pending the
completion of the militia range, even
the site of which is unknown at the

to install an vmi and 1000 yard rang I
on thi' Gli mi ii property, in which
1 c club will have the only ranges
of this distance nearer than .-'■ ni i
Ana.
Sunday the club tackles the South
ern California Rifles on the range at
Schuetzen park In a return match. It
Is probable that the condition* will
allow any number to shoot, the high
eight men to count as the teams for
each club. By this scheme any mem
ber wishing to shoot can do bo, and
the team li made up of the best men
from the actual scores, Instead of by

THOUSANDS OF FANS THRONG TO

INTEREST IN BIG SCRAP THURSDAY AFTERNOON IS GIVEN RE
MARKABLE PROOF

Club, While Langford Works Out Before Several Hundred
Who Pay Admission Fee at Arcadia Camp — Real Scrap
and Knockout Furnished by Local Boys at Fairyland
Park as Windup of Stunts by Boston Terror.
Conley Writes That He Will Arrive March 21
to Begin Work for Bout with Webster.
Good Card at San Pedro Tues. Night
SEVERAL thousand flpht fans overlooked the baseball games nnri other
Sunday afternoon attractions to visit tho fljjht crimps of Jim Klynn
and Sam Langford yesterday afternoon and see the biff fellows do their
last Sunday work bofuiri' entering tho ring to settle their Individual »u
--premacy argument thai is scheduled over the marathon route Thursday alter
noon at Vornon. Flynn drew by far tho largest crowd, something like 1500
persons crowding- and Jamming Into the small Indoaurc at Doyle's Bouth
slde club loiir before tho hour for the workout. Between s"" and
1000 fans went out to Arcadia to hoc Lanßford work, and although an ad
mission fee waft charged their, several hundred Of them wont into the park
at the rear of the hotel to sit the show.
Flynn never appeared to better advantage or seemed to be in better con
dition In his ring carver, and the popular scrapper frequently drew applauae
from the large crowd of fans who watched the workout. Owing to a(j injury
raatained while doing toad work yesterday, Dick Alien, the heavyweight
■pairing partner or Flynn, was unahin to Im>x with the fireman, but Abdul
the Turk, Young Reynold! of Santa Ana and Al Rogari went on, and Fly tin
got plenty of work, and the fans wore well pleased with the showing made,
Young Reynolds tried to pet gay with Flynn, and before the iirst round
whs half finished he VII in a bad way. hut he managed to stick it out, and
went through the second round, when he concluded Flynn would not play
falr and he quit. After the long workout Flynn pulled up as freah hs a
daisy, and was willing to tell the same old story of that wonderful confidence
which he has In hia ability to whip liiingford over the long route.
Langford worked more than an hour In the Arcadia gymnasium, boxing
twelve roundi with his big sparring partners, Lang*ford pleased the critical
fans who desired to see for themselves what condition be "linht he in for
the long battle, and the general verdict was that the negro WOUld have no
chance to make any excuse on the grounds of lack of condition and Impropi r
training if he fails to whip the fireman. Sam appears to bo fit and ready
right now to go the long distance, and he showed by the way In which hn
handled his sparring partners that he has lost none of bis spesdPor punch
ing ability.
After the workout the fans were t rested to a real scrap, Joe IJvermore
and Young lone going In for a scheduled t u<nty-round scrap. It did not g"
tin' scheduled distance, nor half of it, as l,ivcrmore put the kibosh onto the
youngster In the eighth round, and Be was counted out by Referee Oeorge
Byers, training director at the Langford ramp. This bout wan not adver
tised, so it came in the nature <>( a surprise for the fans who witnessed It,
Big Scrap Arousing Interest *
indications arc favorable for a reoord-breaking house Thursday afternoon
when Referee Eytofl Mill! Langfbrd and Flynn to the center of the Vermin
ring for fight instructions. Not only Is the interest of the fans shown in
the advance sale and reservation Of tickets for the show, which are greater
than for any Other scrap held here since the Hurns-O'Hricn battle*, bUI the
remarkably large orOWdS that have been going out to the light camps every,
day and the unusual number of Sunday visitors at the training quarters
yesterday show that the. fans regard the scrap as one Involving a lot of class
and holding promise of being a great battle.
I^angford always has been a big card
here, and this was proved when the

result it is t..0 tough a handicapping
job tor anybody to try to tlKure it out
on an investment basis.
