VILLAGERS ARE
STILL IN FRONT
Break Even with Angels in Double
Header by Winning Rally
in Last Game
HITT HAS ONE BAD INNING
Has Better of Tozer in Classy
Pitching Duel in After
noon Contest
JAY DAVIDSON
Vernon won the series from the An
nnir. i ;v sr>!!ttin'*' oven yest^rdsy *"
the double-header that wound up their
present engagement. Vernon was off
Its feed in the morning and lost 4 to 1.
but took the afternoon game 5 to 3.
The Angels were very confident of tak
ing the series after they had overcome
their jinks at Vernon park, but two
miffs by Daley and an error by Bern
ard, who was playing first lor Cap
Dillon in the ninth, enabled the Cutups
to take the odd in seven games played. ,
Wheeler, the crack all-round utility
man of the- Angel aggregation, was the
assassin of the Vernon jinks, being sent
in by Dillon to pitch the morning game,
and lie put everybody in a line humor
by holding the Cutups safe enough
to land the Angels in front by a 4 to 1
■core. He pitched One ball, after hav
ing been uut of the box for several
months, and hereafter will be given
a regular turn on the mound, Brack
enridge tossed for Vernon, but was
not in form, allowing eleven hits in
addition to making two of the three
errors charged up to his team.
The morning game was a fast and
c lassy exhibition all the way. The
three errors charged up to Vernon were
pulled by the pitcher, with two, and
Martinke, in left, with one. The infield
put up a beautiful game all the way.
Los Angeles was much faster in the
field than the Vernon outfit, making
only one misplay and pulling off two
double plays, Howard making on., of
them unassisted. By winning the
morning game the Angels evened up on
the aeries and went into the afternoon
contest with all confidence that they
would win it, too, and take the series,
With Tozer and Hitt tin 1 opposing
pitchers, it seemed certain that it
would be a classy contest and such it
proved to be.
VKKXOX STARTS IN FRONT
Vernon started off in the lead with
one run, Bcorlng in the opening round.
The Angela tied the si-oiv in the third
and Vernon untied it in the fourth.
Both pitchers settled down to hard
work and there was no more scoring
until the seventh, when the Angels
went Into the lead l>> scoring twice.
In the eighth Vernon tied up the count
once more And in the ninth they put
over two runs and cinched the game
by holding the Angels hltless and run
less In tnelr half of the inning.
Two errors account for the one rua
■cored by the Villagers in the first Inn
ing. Carlisle got to first on Howard's
fumble of his grounder. Kitty Brash
ear singled through the pitcher's box
in short center and Martinke forced
Carlisle at third, Itoth unassisted, as
Carlisle was unusually slow in getting
away from second. Roy Brashear sac
rificed, Itoth to Dillon. Coy strolled on
lour wide ones ami Lindsay got to
lirst when Howard threw high and
wide to first, forcing Dillon to get off
th. hi: to Held the ball. Kitty Brash
ear put on steam and shot his big
frame over the pan while Dillon was
trying to pull the high throw out of
the comet's tail. Fisher struck out.
Tho Aiiß'is were unable to get a hit
off Hitt until the third, when they land
ed safely once and scored upon it and
the assisting error ot Hogan. Delmas I
went out t" Infleld and Orendorff drew
a pass. Tozer singled to ri^ht, but was
forced at second by Daley, Orendorff
going to third on the play. Daley start
ed to steal Becond and Jlu^an threw
the ball poorly 10 catch him, Orendorff
i;t' in^c home on the throw, it «
rare exhibition of boneheadedness or
something of the .sort by Hogan and
ho was roundly kidded for it by the
fans. Ross struck out and made Happy
unhappy In the knowledge that If he
had held onto the ball the run would
have been avoided,
In their half of the fourth the Cutups
landed on Tozer for a pair of singles
and untied the score by registering
once. Fisher opened the Inning with a
Bingle to Bhort center. Hogan sacri
ficed and i-iiit was thrown out at first
by Howard, Fisher going to third.
Carlisle singled to right and Fishi
home before the hall had teased .to
bound on its way to Ross.
VERKON MAKES I'IMSII
With the score 2 to ! against them,
the Angels resurrected their "lucky
seventh' mascot and made a rally that
put them in front for the first time dur
ing the same. It was the last time,
100, \'\ the way, Hitt [oosened up a
bit and gave up three hits, one of
them a double, and a free ride to first,
which were turned Into two runs. Dill
■went cut i .. Id and Murphy fol
lowed with a high bounder to Kitty
Brashear, who ran In too far and the
bull bounc< d over his head to short left.
This error did noi amount to much,
howc\cr, as Murphy was caught snooz
ing off first and sent to the beni h.
With two out it did not look very much
like a lucky seventh, but Roth was
passed to first and followed by Delmas,
who singled cleanly i" right Th< n,

ANGELS I.K.WE TODAY
One of the largest crowds of the sea
son tilled the grandstand and bleachers
during the afternoon game and there
was enough hitting and scoring
throughout the seesaw contest to keep
them on edge with enthusiasm and ex
citement until the last man was down
in the ninth. It was the final appear
ance of the Angels at home until late
in June, as they leave today for a four
weeks' trip through the northern end of
the Coast league circuit, anil the faith
fuls were out pulling for them to win
and go away with a good taste in their
mouths, but the Vernon rooters had
the last root coming to them and the
fact that the Cutups will start off the
long- home stand tomorrow afternoon
in first place makes all the fans
happy.
Los Angeles opens tomorrow with
San Francisco, Oakland comes south
for its first engagement on the local
diamonds and Portland will entertain
at home with Sacramento. Los Ange
les should get even with 'Frisco this
week, as the team is in good playing
form now and always does better away
; from home than here. Sacramento will
. give the Beavers a hard rub and Ver
: non should have little or no trouble in
taking the scries from Oakland. So,
if all things go well with the Villager?,
they should increase their lead in the
pennant procession during the weelc.

OAKLAND TAKES TWO
GAMES FROM BEAVERS
Portland Given Hard Kick Down
the Toboggan by Wol
verton's Commuters
SAX FRANCISCO, May 22.—Oakland
maii'* it five games out of peven for the
' series when the transbay players took both
thp morninjsr and the afternoon trophy from
Portland today. In the forenoon at Oakland
they fell on the overworked Mr. Steen for
fourteen hits, and when the battle was over
had nine runs to the northerners' lone mark
on the score card. Swander and Nelcon
pa^h registered a home run.
Fisher's wild throw in the fourth Inning
! was responsible for Portland's defeat by a
score of 3 to 1 at Recreation park after lunch.
Krapp, who was pitching a grand (fame,
| made Cameron hit to the Infield when the
bases were full and there were no outs.
Cutshaw was out at the plate and Krapp
j duplicated the play on 'Wolvcrton, the next
man up, catching "Wares at the plate. When
he tried it on Swander it lodlced fine, and
he turned the ball to Fisher in plenty of
I time to allow Fisher to double Bwander at
first. But Fisher tossed the ball wide, find
Hosan and Cameron* scored. Moshar, Oak
i land's star, allowed only three scrawny
I singles, struck out slit and walked no one.

JEFF EXTENDS
SELF AT WORK
Boxes Nine Hard Rounds Before
Notable Guests at His
Training Camp
SHOWS PERFECT CONDITION
Gleason. Rickard, Chief Martin
and Fifty Members of Olympic
Club Visit Him
[Associated Press]
BEN LOMOND, May 23.—1n the
presence of titty members of the Olym
pic club and a number of prominent
San Francisco sporting men, Jim Jef
frie; gave the lust boxing exhibition of
his present season at his training quar
ters this morning. The champion went
through nine fast rounds of sparring
with his brother Jack, Joe Choynskl
and Bob Armstrong, and at the finish
there was not a man among the spec
tators who did not express the opinion
that he was in excellent condition.
Chief of Police Martin of San Francisco
saw the workout and was highly en
thusiastic in regard to Jeffries' Im
provement in physical fitness.
The fighter followed the glove work
with shadow boxing, rope skipping and
two games of handball. All this labor
followed five miles on the road and an
hour's row on the river. No work was
attempted during the afternoon, Jef
fries, with his partner. Jack Kipper,
and Chief Martin, leaving for Santa
Cruz in Tex Rlckard'S automobile.
Jack Oleaaon paid his respects to
Jeffries for the first time since the es
tablishment of the Ben Lomond train
ing camp. The co-promoter was merely
making B friendly call, and had no
business chat with Jeffries. CTiief Mar
tin stated that in the future all prize
ring affairs will be conducted under his
personal supervision.
"This goes for the big fight, as well
as for the lesser bouts." he said. "The
fight fans should be protected, and I
believe I know enough of the game to
see that its patrons do not get the
worst of it. The moment a tight looks
Peculiar to me I'll stop it without con
sulting either referee or promoter."
JOHNSON BOXES EIGHT ROUNDS
BEFORE THRONG OF FANS
SAX FRANCISCO, May ::.— Jack
Johnson did his boxing at his beach
quarters this afternoon before just an
hip a crowd as on an opening day, and
if anything the colored heavyweight
had a far better workout. George Cot
ton and Marty Cutler. v:ho worked
with him, wore in much better trim
than a week ago, and were better able
to make a showing. The negro warmed
well to his work, and insisted on box
ing- four rounds with each of them,
which made up the afternoon program
in the gym.
He was anxious to find nut from the
newspaper critics present how they
liked his work, and particularly wanted
to know if they considered him fast.
Cotton was Bent back to the camp
with a mouth that was bleeding-, while
after a punch to the stomach in the
fourth round Cutler complained of
feeling sick and stalled until [me was
called.
In addition to his \ >xing. the bag
punching and tossing about the medi
cine ball, Johnson introduced some
new exercises, using the weights and
then lying flat on his hack and pulling
straight up to develop all the mus
cles of the back and stomach.
All told, he was in tlv> gym about
an hour, following this workout he
weighed in the presence of a newspaper
crowd and tipped the beam at 21S^i
pounds. A week ago today he weighed
L' 24 pounds, sii that it can be seen he
has been using his time to good ad
tge. There no longer 1b any sug
•T'-stion of too much stomach, as. ap
peared when he first stripped for the
photographers.
IT., will not put on the gloves again
until Wednesday, but says he will be
in the pyin every Rfternoon, shadow
boxing and keeping In trim. After the
first of the month he promises to box
four or five times a week, and perhaps
each day.
This morning was given over to
training camp pictures for the moving
picture people. These pictures are to
ho shown over the country before the
fight. John did a lot of IVeak stunts
that included chicken chatting around
th^ yard, playing with his pet fox
terrier, saving and chopping wood,
riding a horse and running his auto
mobile. It was Intended also to have
gome bag punching pictures In the
open, but the crowd was too big and
that event was postponed for a day.

Rialto Gossip
BASEBALL, fans arc curious beings
rv In spots. They are loyal to the
•*-* home team and opposed to the
visiting team just as long ms the home
team la doing well and winning games.
But if the homo team Strikes a rough
place and gets to going badly lor a
time the fans quickly change their
feelings of loyalty and friendship; and
gome of them, the thoughtless ones,
begin to roast the home team and the
individual players, and pull for their
opponents to boat them. When a.
team gets in the ruck of hard luck
and the fans begin this sort of thing
the team becomes demoralized to a
certain extent and cannot play its real
game. Never was this given better
proof than during the at-home period
of the Angels, just ended. The Angels
came home after a. remarkably suc
cessful trip up north and played Vcr
non one series. The fans had warmed
up to Happy's bunch and naturally
were pulling for them to win. They
forgot that the Angels, too, is a home
team and treated them like they were
visitors. This sort ot thing was kept
up all through the last home season
and the Angels showed the effects of
this roasting and antagonism by fall
ing into a rut and staying there. The
team lost many games that it should
have won, and had the fans loyally
stuck to them and, pulled for them and
encouraged them like home fans
should do it would have put ginger
and life into the team and they might
have been right up next to Vernon in
the rag chase. They leave today for a
four weeks' trip in the north and
probably will play their game there.
The class is there ami it is bound to
tell. One of the old-timers on the
lineup said a few days ago in the
club house at the Chutes that the
team would play better ball on the
road than here because the fans here
are against them and it grinds on tin:
nerves of the home players, but that
they expect to be roasted and panned
by the home fans in other cities and
it does not affect them in the least.
They expected encouragement here
and failed to get it and the team fell
off in its playing because the players
were roasted into an acute case of
grouch that seriously handicapped
their work.
Vernon will be the home team for
the next four weeks and inasmuch as
the bunch is out in front of the pen
nant procession and playing the fast
est hall in the league, it behooves the
fans to give the boys the glad hand
and encourage them in every way—
by attending in large numbers and
pulling for them to win. Like every
other baseball club, the Villagers
sometimes have an off day and play
like amateurs, but this is no offense
of a serious nature and the fans should
li" loyal all the time. Oakland opens
a series here tomorrow afternoon and
the way they trimmed the Beavers in
both games yesterday it looks like the

Scrappy Hogan makes an impression
on the fans every time he gets on the
diamond. He is so scrappy that he
makes a big hit as soon as he opens
bis mouth and it is his bulldog spirit
Of fighting to the last ditch that has
been drilled Into his men, so that they
never give up until the last man is
out in the last inning. It seemed for
a time during the first home period
this season that the umpires were try
ing to make themselves popular by
running Hogan to the bench or out of
the grounds every time he started to
make a kick or do any coaching.
Happiness took it up with President
Graham and the umps got instructions
to be less arbitrary and ezarlike in
their exercise of the almost kingly au
thority given them by the rules. Now,
Scrappy, old boy, is allowed to win a
game or two occasionally without get
ting shanghaied.
Burrell probably will get back on
third tomorrow, as his injuries are
about healed and he is ready for duty.
But if he does not the knockers should
let tip on Kitty Brashear and give him
a chance to play his game. While on
the northern trip he played almost
perfect ball and won several games

Finney has not been a success as an
umpire in the southland ami the fans
will be pleased tomorrow afternoon to
see sonic other indicator man on the
job. His decisions on balls and strikes
have been remarkably poor for the last
fortnight and it looks like time for
him to try to Improve in some other
Const league city f->r awhile. It seems
strange that Frisco is permitted to hog
everything In the desirable line. It re
quires two umpires to give the Seals
a chance to win, but one is considered
enough for Los Angeles and Portland.
It Is about time to start another row,
and unless Los Angeles and Vernon
get a fair shake from the league, thai
row will be forthcoming.

Somebody asked him last evening
where he was going and he said: "1

it and said; "Why, Baron, I thought
you were on the wagon!" He is, since
Saturday night. News that lie is fig

Jack Kipper, who has been visiting

partner that it may be he will not

The match was shot at 200, 300 and 500 yards,

would do credit to older riflemen, especially at
the 200-yard range.
Winterer won first place, receiving a gold
medal, the sliver medal going to Connolly in
second place, while Schaffer pulled up In third,
receiving the bronze medal.

RIFLE EXPERTS
SHOOT POORLY
Los Angeles Team Makes Only
739 in Contest with the
Bisbee Squad
PROBABLY LOSE THIS MATCH
Southern California Club Is Ex
pected to Beat Seattle, as
They Are in Form
I The second of the summer series of
! matches of the Pacific Coast Rifle and
Revolver league came off Sunday, Los
i Angeles being pitted against the Uis
bee sharps, Tacoma against .Spokane
and Seattle- against the Southern Call
, I fornla Rifle* of this city. The results
are not hard to prognosticate, particu
j larly In the case of the Bisbee and the
• Lios Angeles clubs. If the Hishee boys
cannot beat 739, they should be herded
off to the Home for the Crippled, but
there is little danger of such a neces
sity. The Southern California Rifles
will likely defeat .Seattle from the show
ing of the clubs In the first series of
matches and Tacoma will knuckle
down to Spokane If the dope book is
any good as an oracle.
All the clubs followed the standard
condition of ten shots per man at 200,
300 to 500 yards, any number to
1 shoot, and the six high men to count
as the team.
The Los Angeles team foregathered
at the Qlendale range to put up their
cores against the Bishee club, Hanson,
C. F. Nichols and Felsenthal being de
tained by their church work to such a
late hour that they found it Impossible
to attend. The club also shot the
monthly spasm for the "Offhand tro
phy" and also for the rapid-fire medal.
Umsted, after passing- a ground rule
that no one man should gather In both
medals, even though his scores en
titled him to them, won the Offhand
medal and the gang threw off the rap
id-fire trophy to see If he would rents 1
on his own proposition. He did, and
grabbing J the rapid-fire trophy, hit
down the road for home, leaving Kel
logg to bring home his wife and family
later, A searching party has been or
ganized to go out for the bauble and
the club will get it back if they have
to follow him to Mexico.
The club might have shot poorer with
their eyes shut, although sentiment is
divided even on this proposition. Smith
and Crossman did fairly well with 133
and 131, Umsted tagged along with a
half-way respectable 126 and the rest
of them were unmentionable. Kellogg
was too busy playing his regular part
as the club "Court Fool" that he for
got how to shoot— which was quite
easy—and pulled the team down about
ten points behind what a good shot
would have done. Andrews struck a
streak of hard luck In both the Bisbee
match and the off-hand shoot and did
not class to his usual form.
Kline attempted to break up a kid
riot among the seventeen Imps on hand,
succumbed to superior numbers and re
ceived a drubbing that told when ha
went to shoot his string. He states that
after this, the kids can have the range,
he'll get out and find another one when
they take a notion to It. Three of the
kids were spilled out of the range Into
the brush and have not been recovered.
Finders please keep them for their
trouble, as there are more than plenty
left for next Sunday.
John York appeared in his new go
devil of Stoddard-Dayton persuasion,
but shot his strings with a preoccupied
air and frequent glances back along
the road*to Olendale. The clubmen
are wondering If the wreck of a buggy
on the road home had anything to do
with York's worried look.
Crossman, who.landed the rapid-fire
medal last month with 49. was the
victim of a crowd of hoodlums, led by
Chief Hoodlum Kellogg, who took It
upon themselves to "rattle." the gen
tleman. A weird score of 17 for the
first five shots testified to the success
of the game, although a second string
of 24 did something to bring the score
again level. Crossman states that Kel
logg will shoot his next score under
difficulties, to put it mildly.
Andrews ambled out with a Reming
ton automatic 25 with which' he intend
ed to clean out the gang and annex tho
medal. The scuffle resulting from Um
sted's barefaced' attempt to swipe the
trophy put Andrews out of shooting
form and he failed to land In the
money. Anyhow, everybody had a good
time except the marker.
The club tackles Tacoma on June 5,
and the locals will make a strong ef
fort to clean out the northern layout,
who shot many matches with the Los
Angeles riflemen In the past. The score:
