10 THE HERALD'S SPORTING PAGE TWO HOME RUNS BEAT VILLAGERS Briggs Trounces Ball Over Fence in the First Inning with All Bases Filled PERRY DUPLICATES IN NINTH Brackenridge Beaten Before He Could Get Warmed Up, Allowing Four Runs Brilliant fielding; and lots of hittinp featured the Becond game of the series between Sacramento and Vernon yes terday and the cellar eh imps gri ..;; " victory to the tui f;*o " because they were more fortunate In placing their hits. Two home runs with men on bases helped the Senate win, but Jimmy Whalen, who tossed for the visiting outfit, was as much to blame as anybody for the defeat of the locals. Brackenridge had his bad inning in the opening round and before he could pull himself together had allowed Sac ramento two hits, one of them a home run, ■ and four tallies. He Issued two free passes In this round, too, and, un fortunately for him, they had to come just ahead of the home run drive, so that the tour-sack< r netted four runs. Darringcr, first man up, drew four ■wide ones. Van Buren bunted and Brackenridge threw to Roy Brashear at second to catch Darringer, but Hoy dropped the ball. Perry popped to one in trying to bunt, hut Danzig was passed to first and the bases were filled. Then Briggsg went to bat and after ' getting three balls and two strikes, he lammed the hall twenty feet over the left field fence and four runs, enough to win the game, trotted home. Vernon looked threatening for a time jn their half of the first, but only one scored. Carlisle opened for Vernon with a double to center. Burrell flew to left, as did Martlnke, and Roy Brashear drew a base on balls. Coy singled to left and Carlisle got over the pan. Sacramento added another in the fourth, after two hands were down. Darringer again singled to center and ■went to second when Coy booted the ball to the fence. Van Buren's single to. right scored Darringer. In the ninth Sacramento again landed on Brackenridge for two hits, one of them n home run, and scored two more. With one down, Van Buren beat out a hunt down the third base line. Perry then raised the ball over the j right field fence, scoring Van ahead of him. . Vernon scored its second run in the eighth on two hits and an out. Car lisle got his third hit of the game and Burrell also singled. Martinke forced Burreli at second, Carlisle go- Jng to third. Brashear hit down to short, who threw him out at first, Car lisle scoring. In the ninth a, rally was attempted, -but it amounted only to one run. Lindsay raised a high one back of third that Boardman, Perry and Darringer dashed after, but let drop between them. Kitty Brashear, batting for Brackenridge, doubled to i,'-!: 1 and Lindsay scampered home. It looked rather bad for Sacramento tut this stage of affairs, as the heavy Btickers were in order for Vernon, but Carlisle popped to Boardman and end ed hopes for the Cutups to even tie the score. Both teams play again this after noon, lint will transfer the scene of activity to Vernon park. Schafer or Hltt will twirl for Vernon and Hunt or Baum will operate for Sacramento.

Miller blew up in the fifth inning, and the" OakMnders followed Pearce's home run . with a batting; onslaught that had the runners hiking to keep ahead of each other on the circuit to the home plate. There were three sin gles, three doubles and a home run in this session, and two were walked. Four home runs marked the day. Ping Rodin followed Pearce's rap and put the ball over the fence in the eighth, and repeated the trick in •/{ '■ ninth.

For a bunch of cellar artists to din U]< two homo runs in one day oft a pitcher who has humbled tho league leaders and contender! is a bit to,, much of a shock to be overlooked, two home runs, accidentals, as they were, won tin- game, as they net ted six runs of the seven scored by Sacramento, but as Vernon was ex pected to win the entire series, the loss of one game was rather disap pointing, and especially so after it was brought about in such a sensational manner. Vernon had no trouble what ever in loHfinK for eight Innings and then Koine ahead and winning the opening Ramp, but they could not ;;<■( dose to tin' home-run boys yesti-rday. The trams will line up this afternoon at Vernon, and unless another freak of fate comes to the rescue, Vernon will redeem itself. With Sehafer. Hitl. Hensltng and Willett yet to be heard from, and Carson due for another same in this section, it looks like six in seven right now. Klein, the new l,os Angeles pltcMSr, is fast earning the right to be known as the original Kid Hard Luck. He has lost both games he has pitched for the Angels, although he has outpltched the opposition twirler In each game. His performances indicate, however, that he Is a classy sort of slant manu facturer and that he will do if the Ansel batters wake up and help him I out. Kid Dalton, who always ' has been regarded as having about all the game ness that any fighter could lay claim to, is acting very peculiarly regarding his match with Fhil Brock for June 15 at Maricopa. After a lot of haggling the match was made on his own terms and twenty-four hours later he lopes through with a cancellation because he is afraid of the alkali water up that way. Although he has fought there three times, winning every fight, he decided yesterday that the water did not suit him and lie would not fight Brock there. This does not look good. Prank Fields, who is to stage the fight if it ever occurs, has gone there to make preparations for it and has gone to some expense' already. Dalton sure ly knew all about the water when he made the match and his excuse now causes a ripple of amusement among the fans, who are beginning to believe that he is afraid of Brock. This Is a new streak in Dalton. as he always BOX CORBETT? NO; HE GOES FISHING Camp Visitors, for Fourth Time, Given Standoff on Long Expected Bout BEN LOMOND. June (.— Once again Jim Jeffries did not live up to his pro gram, and for the fourth time the Initial boxing bee between the big; fel low and '•Gentleman Jim" Corbett was unexpectedly posponed today. The op n air ring, an exact copy of the one in which Jeffries and Johnson will settle the championship on July 4, had re ceived the final touch. Corbett was on hand and everything ready except Jef fries, who took a sudden notion that he wanted to go fishing, and fishing he went, accompanied by a party of friends. The most keenly disappointed of the large number of camp visitors on hand were a bunch of eastern newspaper men. several of Whom had traveled across the continent and expected to gel a line on Jeffries in bis boxing bout with Corbett today. Jeffries left in iln- morrflng and promised to return at noon, BO many of the visitors to the camp waited, but the big fellow forgot his promise or found fishing so good that he decided to make a day of It and did not return until tonight. The real reason why Jeffries has hreri reluctant to do more boxing this week is no doubt a slightly sprained thumb. An effort has been made to keep this quiet and to attribute the frequent postpoing of the sparring with Corbett to Jeffries' whims, but the fact remains that the big fellow Injured his thumb a week ago and has done no boxing since. Trainer Cornell declared that the thumb is healed, but Jeffries apparently has been unwilling to tuke any chances With it. That he would positively box tomorrow was the promise made by Jeffries to ' !orb< ti today. "I'll spar every day for the next two weeks," he told th" trainer. "Some times I'll box twice a day. then the next day I'll do nothing but light work." The camp formed Into a bucket bri gade last night and fought a brush lire which started within a few yards of the garage where several automobiles, including Jeffries', are kept. JOHNSON PLEASED AT BOUT WITH KAUFMAN [Associated Pre*."] SAN FRANCISCO, June 0. —Jack Johnson has always been i systematic worker, Smt this afternoon he caught some of the newspaper men napping and incidentally they missed a real treat. Without a hint of putting <>n the gloves the colored man Strolled into big pavilion in the afternoon where \1 Kaufman was working and at the request of some of Kaufman's friends decided to do a little work himself. He wrestled around with tin. medicine ball to warm himself up and then fin ished with four rgunds«of fast boxing with Kaufman. Kaufman is a big fellow, well able to land 8 <leal of punishment, and John sun had the best workout ot Ins training siege. His trainers were de lighted with his performance and on himself went into enthusiasm. •■lt was gre»t," he said, "the best work that I have, had since camp i. n gives me ■ < hance to ex tend myself some and I will do a lot of boxhiß with A!." |i |i well within the possibilities thai Johnson will box again tomorrow Afternoon. has boon accused of nothing but game noss.

Harry Williams, sporting editor of the Express 1, is off duty for the first time In many months, suffering with grippe and too much pulling for Ver non to win games. Harry is one of the best baseball fans In the southwest, and it rather grinds on his nerves to Bee the home team lose so frequently. His illness is not serious, and he will be back on the Job in a day or two, if he does not read of yesterday's trim ming. George Hancock and Hen Berry have opened offices in the Wilson block to receive reservations for their fight spe cial, which will be run from here to Frisco for the big tight. As only one train, a full special of Pullmans, will be run, and reservations are rolling in so regularly, it behooves those who want to take advantage of the rate to pc! busy and make their reservations without delay. A special rate of $23 for the round trip, including double berth, lias been made, and those who go '>n tVm train can return on any train for fourteen days afterwards. The rate includes double berth going, meals and round trip passage. The train will leave Sunday morning, July 3, at 8:30 o'clock. Hancock is receiving reser vations at 3HI Wilson block and will accept orders by telephone, AT'SH! or Main 1691. As there will be a big rush the last wek before the fight, it might be well for those intending to go to make early reservations. LITTLE ROW TIES UP FIGHT FILMS Jeffries and Johnson to Incorpo rate Concern to Handle Moving Pictures [Asswlnteil Press] SAN FRANCISCO. June 9.—Business matters in connection with the incor poration of the moving picture com pany occupied the attention of the promoters and the icprescntatives of the two fighters today. Sam Berger came up from Ben Lomond for the purpose of discussing the subject for Jeffries, and although Johnson was not present it is understood that he has fully outlined to Tex Rickard what he wants done in the mattei. .The actual incorporation has not decided upon. Briefly, however, the plan is for Jeffries and Johnson and their representatives to constitute tii ■ board of directors. Rickard and Gleason are to have one-third interest in the profits, but at the same time they consider themselves stockholders and will demand the right to be con sulted in whatever steps are taken. "Our position is this," said Gleason: "Jeffries and Johnson are to share and share alike in order that neither will get the worst of things, but Rickard ami myself are to be consulted at all times, as we are vitally interested in the pictures." Sam Berger admitted today that a proposition had been made to buy out the principals, but he added that be cause of the unsettled state of affairs existing between Johnson and George IJttle that nothing bad been accom plished. "We have received numerous offers for the pictures," he said, "but natur ally the offers are for a controlling in terest. I don't care to go Into details as to the matter, but there has been one. offer for $100.00(1 for all the rights. Because of the tangle at the Johnson camp no one knows whether Little will have to Vie considered, and that makes it hard for us to proceed."
