The Commuters and Seals played the
seesaw game with one another for
eight and a half innings on the Oakland
battlefield yesterday afternoon. One
could have obtained any kind of a prica
from the Oakland contingent that the
game would proceed into the extra
inning stages and that Oakland would
I>e the team to land the most runs. But
both of these predictions went amiss,
for Henry Spencer arrived in the* nick
of time with the tally that counted for
San Francisco.
The score was 4 all when the Seals
came up to have theirs in the ninth
spasm. Spencer managed to beat out a
sice looking little bunt and Street sent
him down the line with an out. Henley
laid the ball on the ground to Hogai\,
Mho whipped it as fast as he could
to the first bag. The peg was a. bit
late and Spencer, seeing a chance to
beat it to the plate, kept right on run
ning. The best evidence that he made
good is the official score, which. shows
that this run won the game.
Both teams pulled off rallies of all
sorts during the nine spasms. The
pitchers were warmly welcomed by the
batters at all stages of the mlxup.
Henley was being battered so freely
toward the end of the game that Cap
tain Mobler shooed him to the bench
in the eighth and put Willis at work.
"Willis went a few furlongs at that,
sending every Oak back to the bench
in record time while he was on the
firing line.
"When they had closed their labors
in the fourth inning the Seals were
sailing ahead with,, two they did not
need. It looked soft for them, but they
reckoned without the consent of the
enemy, who began to show a bit of
speed in the fourth. Dashwood and
Hogan both stung the ball safely co
Tight after one was in. A sacrifice
by Bigbee moved both along and
Haley's long fly came in time to let
Hogan through.
The Seals got to Bill Reidy again in
the sixth and put over another. The I
admirers of the local brigade were
sure that this would be about all for
the afternoon, but Oakland again came*
to life in the sixth. Heitmuller's hit to
short, followed by Hogan's double
sacker to right and I>ashwood's long
fly did the work.
Right back came the Oaklanders with
the one that tied up the score in the
seventh. Devereaux waited for a bunch
lof wide bnes v and Reidy put him down
on the bunt route. "While everybody
was trying to figure out what Jim
Smith would do, the little left hander
deposited a Texas leaguer into center
that gave the auburn third baseman
aJI the time be needed to romp in with
I the run that made it a deadlock.
It is possible that the teams would
have been at it yet had not Spencer
used his head and his feet to such
good advantage when he saw tluv
chance in the eighth. Oakland tried
very hard to do something with the
benders that Mr. Willis flung over, but
there was not a chance, so a hard luck
battle went against the team that
everybody was rooting for. The score:

Take Kindly to Nagle's Offerings and
Angels Play Listlessly
PORTLAXD, July 23.— Portland
touched: up Nagle liberally today and,
helped along by the slow playing of
the visitors, took the opening contest
from Los Angeles, 4 to 2. Bobby Groom
had his Bhoots under control at critical
periods. He passed four and con
tributed a wild toss, but after each
miscue settled down and pitched him
self out of trouble. .
The game was a _ seesaw and any
body's until the ninth. Portland took
one right off the reel when Lovett made
the rounds. Costly errors by Mott an«i
Atherton tied the. score in the fourtli.
but Portland again took the lead in
the fifth, when Motfs hit scored Dona
hue. . .
Eager worked Groom for transporta

Xagle lined out a hard one for two

CREW OF THE VALKYRIE
IS NOW AT SAUSALITO
Visitors From the Southland
Arrive Here Ahead
of Time,
The mast of the challenger Valkyrie
was shipped late yesterday afternoon
to Sausalito. The crew arrived from
Los Angeles late- Monday night and
went over, to the clubhouse of the San
Francisco yacht club on the noon boat
yesterday. The visitors were ' not ex
pected here before last night and^the
officers of the San Francisco club were
preparing to receive them when they
received word that the crew was at the
Sauealito clubhouse. The commodore
immediately sent one of the members
of the club, to Sausalito and the racing
crew from the south was made com
fortable.
The Valkyrie appears to be a little
light for .these waters. The yacht has
a nice lot of freeboard, which will give
a good sailing line when well heeled
over, but It is a question if the vessel
is not pinched a little in the quarters.
This is also the case with the Discov
ery. The latter boat, however, has a
sharper entrance. . ..
The great disadvantage to be over
come by the" Valkyrie is the fact that
that the skipper is not acquainted with
San Francisco bay with its many tides
and rips. .This counts more than half
in racing t on the bay, so under the
circumstances the odds are in favor of
the, Discovery. \u25a0 • ,
V.ThV Valkyrie will be under "way to
day, and ? will try out two sets of sails.
The -yacht will be sailed every day
from now on until It goes on the ways
to be measured for the race. The skip
per expects through practice sails to
get some line on the bay. .
The crew is composed of A. M.
Squires, owner; W. C. Folsom, captain,
and R. M. Fulton and O. W. Frey tag.

Baseball Notes
The rictory of the Seals and the defeat of
the Angels makes the race closer than It has
been, for many weeks. But 20 odd points now
separate the home teira,/rom the southern dele
gation.
Blist and Wright were called. upon to saTe
the day for the . Oaks In the ninth ' Inning, bnt
neither could do any good. Bliss put . a"f Mil

a New Plan
R. R. l'Hommedieu
A movement, is on foot to combine the
runs of the Automobile dub of Califor
nia and the Automobile. dealers' asso
ciation of California to Lake county.
The organizations , have planned to go
to the same place, , and as . many auto
mobile owners are members of both
associations it is thought best to hold
the runs_together. A. B. "Watson, chair
man of the runs and tours committee
of the club, and Vice President Fred J.
Linz of the dealers* association, hay*
tho matter under" consideration." If it
is to be a combined run It will prob
ably take place in the second week in
August,' about a month before the club
will hold another run to Del Monte.
The Del Monte run will be about tho
time that the tennis championship and
the gold and polOi contests are held
there. Those in ch3rge of the event
are trying to induce the polomen to
open the-season down by the sea. If
these plansare carried through lt .will
mean about a month of sports at Del
