10 Baseball, Racing, Boxing VILLAGERS' ERRORS CAUSE THEIR DOWNFALL IN FIRST OF SERIES Angels' Batting, Baserunning and Tozer's Classy Twirling Give Dillon First 8100d —Willett Pitches Major League Ball but He Is Given Miserable Support in Field and with Stick-Los An geles Pulls Away from Cutups in Fifth Round and Never Are Headed Thereafter-Large Crowd of Fans At tend and Root Hard for Hogan's Crew but Lose JAY DAVIDSON Anticipating an exciting and classy game an extraordinary crowd of fans] ■went out t.i Chutes park yesterday nfternoon to sec tho opening game of the | series between the Angela and the Villagers, and after Retting Inside the grounds the crowd was not slow to show its partiality for tho Villagers. The fans In the bleachers and grandstand began to chc.-r tho Cutups a& fast as they went to bat and rooted for them at every opportunity, hut the Angels plodded along | In their usual self-confident and unerring way and pulled down the persimmon | by a4tn: score. The Angels took some of the starch out of their younger op- \ ponenta by shutting them out in the opening inning and scoring once for them-1 selves. Then they went about their business and took their time about scoring thereafter, managing, however, tr, get enough men over the plate to keep their noses In front and get credit for first blood. Tozer was the curve specialist for the Angels, and white he was a bit un steady, giving five bases on balls, he was effective in every emergency and tanned four Villagers and should have won by a 4 to 1 score. "Willett held the Angel? down to four hits, but his teammates made enough errors behind him to | beat Christy Mathewson, and he never had n. chance to win with such poor sup port. Although only credited with four errors in the official statement of ac count, at least two others should be charged to Lindsay nt short for failure to retire* batten at first on easy chances sent his way. Stovall also pulled off a bad cue « hen he dropped Murphy's high fly in the first Inning and Willett was responsible for Bernard's score, the first of the game, throwing The ball to the right field bleachers in his hurry to get Bernard at first, while Roy Brashear contributed an error that he would not make once in fifty tries, Bernard scoring on what looked like a sure thing for the third out. Los Angeles started the scoring in the opening round, getting one man over the pan by a combination of errors that made the Vernon inflelders look away below par. Daley fanned. Bernard bunted and beat it out when Willett tossed the ball to the right field bleachers, tho speedy right fielder taking second while the ball was being returned to the diamond. A passed ball put him on third, where he rested while Kitty Brashear retired Howard on a grounder. Dillon j smashed the ball down the first base line, but MeGreevy called it a foul, and at ! second trial Cap clouted the sphere on the bounce to Roy Brashear, who became too anxious to make the third out and stop Bernard from scoring, and naturally : failed to get his hands on the ball. He ran in on it and was caressed on the j breast as the ball took a funny bound and bounced back to the pitcher's box. i Bernard took the only chance remaining and got home with the first run of the game. This score, with the failure of Vernon to register in their half of the first after Carlisle had drawn a pass to first, served as something of a damper on the enthusiasm of the Vernon fans and the noise quieted down for awhile. It broke afresh in the second inning, however, when two hits and a base on balls netted one run and tied the score, and it should have been worth two runs had Lindsay been a little faster or more discerning. He was caught trying to go to third from first on Brown's doubfe and almost brought down fine and banishment for half the team when he cut loose with a bellow because he was called out. The inning opened with a walk for Roy Bnishear, who went to second on Burrell's sacrifice and took third on Lindsay's screamer over third. Murphy fielded the ball so fast that Roy hugged the final cushion tight until Brown tore off a double that rattled the boards in left field. Brashear scored and Lindsay was caught at third on a quick and perfect return of the ball by Murphy. With the score tied the Vernon fans got busy again ami kept up a big racket until the fifth, when the Angels opened up and bombarded the Vernon camp for three runs and the game. Waring opened the fifth with a foul right into the paws of Kitty Brashear. Tozer drew a base on balls by some patient waiting and Daley sent him around to third with a corking double against the left field fence on the dividing line between left and center. Bernard smashed a sizzler down to Lindsay, who had a lot of trouble taming it, but he finally gathered it in and tossed it to Brown, who was so excited that he dropped the ball after tagging Tozer, and the run counted Howard singled to right and Daley crossed the plate. Dillon grounded to Kitty Brashear and Murphy tore off another flaming one to Lindsay, who barely got his finger tips on it as it glanced off to leftfleld. Bernard beating it for home and beating the throw to the plate. Howard tried to come In right behind Bernard and was nipped, Carlisle to Brown. This -topped all scoring, as Willett and Tozer continued to pitch classy ball End the fielders steadied down enough to prevent any more runners from getting down to the plate. Vernon looked dangerous two or three times, but despite his off form Toser was equal to whatever emergency his fielders could not meet, and while Willett held the Angels hltless in their last three times up, Tozer allowed only two safeties in the remaining four rounds. The four errors charged against Vernon came in two innings and three of them were made in the opener, otherwise the game was a brilliant exhibition by two of the bitterest rivals that ever fought for a baseball pennant. Willett pitched winning ball, but got no support in field or at bat. Tozer was too mys tifying with his shoots, despite his wildness at times, and got the right kind of support The old heads never got rattled at any time and piayed their steady, heady game all the time. As a rule the Villagers play errorless ball, but they occasionally have an off day, when they are awful bad. They have had that day now and the game this afternoon should be a pippin. Thorsen and Carson prob ably will hook up for another pitchers' battle and the contest should be worth seeing.

JULY 14, 1010. Los Angeles Fans' Candidate for Coast League Umpire Appointment O(BX£3^^^^ Rialto Gossip Interest in the series between tho Angels and the Villagers was best il lustrated yesterday when one of the biggest mid-week crowds of the sea son was on hand for the opening game. Another feature of the crowded stands and bleachers was the popularity of the Vernon team, the fans showing without any effort of concealment that they think a whole lot of Hogan and his crew. The way the crowd pulled for Vernon to beat the Angels was a bit surprising in one way, but not in an other. Los Angeles has been coming so fast of late that it looks like the club is the strongest in the league and the one that must be beaten for the bunting. The under-dog sympathy went to Vernon and with it was all the friendship and good will that Hogan and his boys have earned by their classy playing all season. Los Angeles is playing an unbeatable game just now and the showing yesterday adds to the belief that no team in the league has much of a show with it. After so many reverses in the early weeks of the season, the Angels are going at a surprising pace and seem to have hit their stride for the first time. It will be a hard fought series, just the same, and with a double in terest aroused because both teams are close enough to go to the top this week, the fans find this series unusual ly attractive. The same teams will line up at the Chutes again this af ternoon and Thorsen and Carson or Hensling will be on the opposing ends of the batteries, which means a real battle. Vernon was not humiliated yesterday, even if they were beaten, as the score shows, and it is not im probable that they would have won with clean fielding. The game was so close and exciting that everything counted as Important and Umpire Me- Greevy had his troubles with the kicking players on both sides. Despite the Bcrappiness that featured the game, it wa a clean and exciting con tet all the way. • arson and Thorsen probably will be the opposing slabsters in the second game of the Los Angeles-Vernon series this afternoon and since both are work lng In major league form, the contest is hound to be a thriller and should attract another record crowd. Since Thorsen rounded to form, he has been letting bis opponents down with two and three bits a game and he seems to be getting better with every trial on the mound. Carson finally has rounded to form, too, as was shown in his easy victories over Portland, his old teammates. Tex Rlckard finally came to town, two days late, but he got here Just the Fame. He says he is not hunting for any more fight attractions just at present, hut is here on a vacation. .Mrs. Rickarrl accompanied him and they were guests of Jeffries and his wife last night at the former champion's Cypress avenue home, They will ac company Jeffries and wife to Catallna for a brief stay before returning home. Tex sairl he tried to re.st in Frisco, but it cost too much to draw a breath up there and he came down to a real live place where he could rest without having to dip up 1121,000 for the privi lege. Tex also says he is not going to sue the governor because he could not collect a Judgment and because he is pretty well satisfied as things now stand. He positively denies that he is trying to rematch Jeff and the negro, but it is a good bet that he will have first call if Jeff ever decides to pet back In the ring and he will no) go away from here without having some understanding with the bin boy, He is not worrying about Jim Coffroth hut tins' in on his Reno preserves, as Tex knows he has the edge on all rivals when it comes to pulling off fights in Nevada, his own state and among his own people. (Several automobile parties have been arranged to go from here to Ban Dlpsto to attend the bullfight Sunday at Tla Juana, Most of these parties will leave Vngelea nhnut midnight of Satin day, taking the coo] night for the trip In preference to the sunny daytime. ■\Vith (food roads and cooling breezes, it should be a pleasant trip both ways and as it :an be made In a few hours, it is proving <niite attractive, Benor Enrique Robles, who will stage the fight, is i Hinting upon entertaining a delegation from Los Angel' arranged for special round trip rati over the Santa Ke for those who do no) go south In nutomobjles. Catcher Brown Rot slammcil with ■■> nss plaster when he tried to "kid" Ur- JTMMY TOMAN pire McQreevy about a strike called on him in the fourth inning yesterday. After that. Rrownie settled ('.own to his knitting and quit his pestiferous tac tics. MeGreevy dislikes to fine the buys, hut he is running the game, and unless he disciplined them once in a while they would be running it to suit themselves. An umpire who does not stick resolutely on the job will be a failure, and if MeGreevy ever fails at the task it will be for some other rea son. Hamlet Oliver, the official scorer at local Coast league games, has gone for a fortnight's vacation and the press boys were up in the air yesterday when he failed to show up and make out the official score sheets. Harry Williams, something of an expert at the scoring game, relieved the emer gency uy making up the sheets. It is improbable that there will be any boxing matches at Naud Junction this month, as McCarey prefers to pass iip July on account of the warm weath er and the fact that so many of the fans are away on their vacations at the beach and mountain resorts. When the sport opens up in August, it is probable that Sammy Keller and Danny Web ster will furnish the opening attraction at ten rounds. Both are bantams and will meet at the bantam limit if the match is made. They are very fast and clever and should furnish the fans with a good bout. Patsy Brannigan is fig uring on coming out here about that time in the hope of getting a match with Frankie Conley for the bantam championship, so it looks like the Au gust offerings might furnish some real class. Lou Woodworth, one of the boys about town, has opened billiard parlors at 430 South Hill street and his friends are following him with unexpectedly good patronage. He is a good chap and deserves success in anything he undertakes and undoubtedly the open ing success that is his will become a permanent and pleasing feature of the business.

With five teams within two or three games of the top. it is very Important that no club shall be beaten out of the rag by Inadequate provisions regarding the umpires, and as it is ut terly Impossible for one man to keep hie eyes on the ball and tho base run ners at the same time the best of them Is upt to err, and this erring in judg ment may affect the result of the pen nant race. It is unfair to all the clubs to delay the adoption of the double umpire system any longer. Eugene McQreevy, regarded bb one of the best umpires that ever handled an indicator in the Coast league, is um piring the Los Angeles-Vernon series single-handed and alone this wet k, while Portland and Oakland are en- Joying the double umpire system. Van Haltren is alone at San Francisco, ami the same old kicks arc heard from there, arising out of the single man system. The first gain.- between Sacra mento and Frisco this week was pro tested on a decision by Van Haltren. With two umpires on the Job there would be little, if any, chance for mis takes and protests. Jimmy Toman, former Los Angeles player and an umpire who gave uni versal satisfaction during his short career last year as a Coast league um pire and while in the State league be fore the bustup this season, is being urged by Henry Berry of Los Angeles and J. W. Brooks of Vernon, and while they have attempted to arouse the league president to cognizance of the necessities of the occasion, they have not been extended the courtesy of a reply to their recent telegram. Toman is very popular here because he is recognized as competent and fair and because the fans want to see the double umpire system adopted, with him as one of the new men on the job. The double umpire system could be adopted without very much additional expense, as it would necessitate the em ployment of only two more men. If the directors are afraid they cannot find two good men for the new jobs that would be open Los Angeles will furnish both men and guarantee them to be capable, honest and reliable and universally satisfactory in their work. Scotty Allen, who has been identified with baseball in the south for several years, is willing to help out, and every baseball fan in the southland knows that he is competent in every way. Attendance figures would grow ma terially if the double umpire system was adopted at once, but the magnates cannot expect the fans to approve the penny-wise-pound-foolish policy that saves a small sum every month and causes general dissatisfaction among the fans because of Incompetent um piring and unsatisfactory work by the indicator men. This is one thing that the Los Angeles fans feel justified in kicking about, and the league directors will not be considering their own pocketbooka unless they accede.

This action by the committee Is not a surprise to the follower! of football In the south, as it has been rumored for quite a while that such action would be taken. It was not the re sult til' uny friction with the other col leges of the south, but came after duo consideration of the different phases of the football situation. Tho barristers have always had a hand In determin ing the football supremacy of the south, and it Is confidently predicted that they will attain as great a suc cess at the English Ram.'. The school is fortunate In securing for coaches two of the greatest rugby players In America, Thomas "Pat" Hlggins and Ernest Lewis, who havo played side by side in many ■ struggle and are past masters In tho science of the game.
