Seals Administer Two Defeats to Commuters
Van Haltren's Men Make a Joke
of the Afternoon Contest
William J. Slattery
One of the grandest lie down
tnatches that has ever been pulled off
on any man's diamond was that -which
the Oakland talent offered when It
w*nt against the Seals on the Valencia
street lot yesterday afternoon. Ere
-the game had run half its course the
S*>als managed to gather enough to
carry them along. Then the Oaks
showed their true class and the yellow
flag was raised on high for the second
consecutive day.
In the morning the Commuters slm
r-ly hid to play ball or else be mobbed
by about 4,000 of their admirers who
were looking on. Despite their valiant
efforts the Seals hung another on them
by the close score of 5 to 4. By win
ning the afternoon game also the Seals
flnishrd the series with six out of the
seven to their credit. the / best showing
they have made in many moons.
! Tt was a shame that the big Sunday
crowd was forced to stand for^ the
-ough work of the Commuters. Though
f :'ie spectators were rooting hard for
home team and were Joyous at the
result, most of them crabbed at the
vay the OakJanders behaved and felt
that thfy were not given the value of
those 50 and 25 cent pieces deposited
in the box office.
Four box artists, or alleged box art
ists, performed for the Commuters.
Games started off the game, but when
he had received his in the fifth Good
*wln was trotted out to the mound. He
lasted a couple of Innings and gave
\u25a0way to Jimmy Smith, who came in from
the left garden. After the Seals had
tired walloping all Smith had the only
Brick Devereaux went against the gaff
for the last inning.
And bo it was all the way through.
J»a Van Haltren and his followers did
tbe best they could to make a Joke out
of the game once they saw that there
.was not a chance to take a ride on the
winning wagon. Everybody knew they
.were quitting and the roasting was
something awful at times.
The Seals started In upon Carnes in
the second Inning, when they put over
* run- During the progress of the third
their „ batting eyes gleamed brightly
again, and another run was the result
of a couple of healthy wallops. Oak
land managed to squeeze a man over
in its half of the fourth, so the game
\u25a0took on an Interesting aspect,
. The big blow off came, in the sixth
round. Carnes' stock of benders seemed
\u2666o have evaporated and nearly every
<hingr that he hurled was soused square
lr .on the beak. Bingle after blngle
kWt the bats of the Seals, and all those
rfiat did not drop in a safe part of the
lot were booted around by the Oakland
\u25a0fielders, the result being four runs and
a broken up battle.
. The fans figured that one Inning of
that sort of stuff would be about all
for the afternoon, but the Commuters
tiad only commenced to <juit. The sev
enth spasm -was really worse. During
the. midst of the bombardment Carnes
was chased to the clubhouse and along
came busher Goodwin, a southpaw, who
never worked on the local lot before.
The lad showed a lot of speed and
.might have held down his opponents
for the remainder of the game had his
teammates done the right thing by
him. But there was no chance. Some
body passed out the office to He down,
?.nd every Oaklander obeyed cheerfully.
JTbey did not care how many runs the
Soals made. The Seals thought that
;:bout two -were erough for the inning,
so they let it go a.t that, but promptly
tame back with another pair in the
eighth, making their grand total 10 for
the afternoon. Score:

firing line. In the opening stanza Dil
lon poked out a two bagger, but the
clout earned no interest. In the fourth
Dillon again pelted one,. but still there
was nothing doing for the Scoreboard
boy. By this thne the rooters began
to take notice of Pernoll, and, when the
lad had skimmed along nine innings
without a score and only two hits
marked against him he was given the
Joyous mitt. He slowed up in the sev
enth and last Innings and two bingles
helped the visitors take home one
lone run.
Portland scored a run in the second
Inning. In the fourth Burns became
wobbly. Five wallops and a pass gave
the homers five runs and made the
game a cinch. Score:.- - ; */- : '>

Baseball Notes *
Little Piper seems to have Imbibed the dope on
how to hit the ball at last. He was there with
four bits in the morning game and be drew an
other In the afternoon ' mixup. Jones ; was the
only Seal who did not sting the ball safely.
Kick ' Williams was forced to go la and catch
Is tbe morning to that Street might bare a. rest.
Besides winning tbe - game with that timely hit
In the last round Kick caught a swell game.
George Wheeler was put at work for the first
time In a couple ' of weeks. He looked „ after
things at first base. :: ' '\u25a0'''y
• • •
The Seals left immediately after the game for
Portland, where they will endeavor to creep up a
little closer to the Angels. -The latter. team. will
open with the Commuters across the bay tomor
row. Let us hope tbe Oaks will not perform Ilka
they did yesterday afternoon, \u25a0 for If they do the
southern contingent will settle the pennant race
before tbe week is out. .
• • • . *\u25a0\u25a0
A. lad sitting with bis dad la tbe grandstand:
was more Interested in tbe balloon ascension at
the Chutes than tbe ball game. Innocently, be
asked: . .
"Pa, what time does the balloon go up?"
Pa was an Oakland fan/and as it was . about
the eighth inning, be did not feel any too good.
"\u25a0Why, the balloon went cp three innings ago,"
be replied sharply.. *.'Why don't you keep your
eyes opent What do you thinks I pay a quarter
for you at tb« box office for?'
The boy let it go at that.

Special by Leased Wire to The Call
. STOCKTON", \u25a0 Sept. 23.— 1n the great
est game ever played on the local dia
mond the Stopkton state \u25a0 league team
defeated Sacramento 'today,- 4 to 3,
thereby gaining. a ( substantial: lead in
the pennant race. At the beginning of
the ninth inning the score. stood 3 Ho 1
in favor of the visitors, but well placed
hits and an error netted Stockton three
runs. Baum opposed , Henderson and
the battle between the pitchers was a
pretty exhibition.
It took almost an hour to play the
last half of the ninth inning. A de
cision by Umpire McDonald excltedthe.
record crowd and , the bleacherites
rushed on the diamond; and "interfered
with the game. Manager Moreing and
a number of deputy sheriffs had great
difficulty In handling the mob. :\u25a0
\u25a0 Stockton had sent two "men- over the
plate early in the lrinlng.'but; the um
pire sent one back to. third base be
cause, the crowd had encroached .'upon
the diamond. Manager Moreing*pro
tested this decision, " asserting 'that the
ball had been In sight . and on fair
ground all the time. .. - ' '
The Ipcal management objected also
to Sacramento playing three i imported
men— Bob McHale, Sandow.Mertes and
Spider Baum— when the rules of the
state league permit each team, to be re
inforced with but two outside, men. •
Baum was touched for 12 hits by the
Stockton batters,- five : of which came
In the last inning, bringing in the win
ning runs. Score:

PREPARATORY SCHOOLS
ARE TAKING UP RUGBY
Now It Is in O^der for Them
; . to Form a Football
. League
William Unmack
At r the weekly : meeting of the Bar
barians .it was decided not to amalga
mate with 'the Hornets for the purpose
of* forming an athletic •; club. It was
agreed that • the members of the Bar
barians cooperate with \u25a0 the Hornets as
Individuals for this purpose, entirely
Independent of elther.team. This move
will be welcomed by amateur sports
men, as any amateur be allowed to
join : the organization. •.
That: my recent article urging the
high schools. to take up Rugby _* was \not
without effect has been shown during
the last week in _ the numbers of
schools adopting Ruby. The' list is
growing every day. Lick high, school,
Oakland ' manual training ; school, San
Jose high, Los Gatos ; high, Rugby mill
tary college, Campbell high and ; Palo
Alto high have fallen" into! line, arid
others are expected this week. ; Now.; is
the time" for these schools; to get their
football managers together and form a
league. :\ ; : '••*-* f ¥->'. : ; 'r/:S'-J*i '
The '\u25a0 Barbarians have been requested
by, a number of these schools to supply
coaches ; as far. as possible. ; '- The* Bar
barians Jare responding"- and offering
every assistance to the ; b'oys.*^! ;> :
By a vote of 36 -to 4 ,. the -; Oakland
manual training school \u25a0 adopted Rugby
last week; The boys are -enthusiastic
over the game and : are goings Into it
f ull, of energy and: spirit. ' i"j^
Captain , Nick, who was elected cap
tain for the old game,* does not like the
idea; of playing Rugby. He is • a good
player at the old game and ought Jto
make a first class leader for his Rugby;
team. At present he i 3 undecided wheth
er to play the new game,' but,\ true
sportsman that he Is, \ I believe that' in
justice to the majority he will overcome
his prejudices and give Rugby a" fair
trial: \u25a0>'<-. ' ." . : \u25a0 . :
The ' Rugby military academy .. of
Berkeley is out for Rugby, and has Is
sued a challenge to the Oakland man
ual training school. .
W. Howard, who is coaching, Santa
Clara college, is pleased with the apti
tude his team has shown at the Rugby
game. After one week's . training the
Santa Clara boys had a>.practlce - game
and performed much .; better than was'
expected. The college 'will have a
| fast .team, but It will be very light
compared with tne Stanford J arid Cali
fornia varsity teams. '\u25a0; However, I am
sure: the players will give a good ac
count of themselves after a little ! more
i coaching. 7 i - ''y .

JACK SULLIVAN OPENS
FAVORITE OVER SQUIRES
Bettor^ Are; Willing to iay
10 to 9 That Boshter
Bill WiU Lose
' t Much s to the surprise of the brigade
that is supposed to know all about odds
on pugilistic affairs. Jack * Sullivan
opened a 10 t0.9 choice over Bill Squires
last night** The betting was not heavy,
only a couple of- hundred dollars being
.wagered, but it was enough to, make
the price, and unless something unfore
seen'occurs the odds are likely.to drop
until Squires will enter the ring next
Saturday afternoon .on the . short end
at 10 to 7. ;\u25a0•\u25a0 s
For some I reason which nobody could
figure out the.followers of -the fighting
game had been saying. right along that
Squires would, rule a favorite over.Sul
livan; just as he did over 'Burns. Surely
his' showing :wlth" : the Canadian' would
. not' have Influenced" the betting in;hte
'favor and there was 1 logical reason why
\u25a0the Australian" should be on the long
end again- this- time. •-••••
\u25a0\ Both- boxers .trained to, big . houses
yesterday, afternoon and. did. their best
to make an Impression. Quite. a num
1 ber{of \u25a0 the f ajr i sex were at the beach
and at San RafaeL ?
.Sullivan- outdid i himself :in . the gym.
When It; was,, time \ for him '» to don -. the
bigTmltts standing room could not be
had. The twin. went. after Eddie Han
lon.'.Young Tracey and Johnnie Frayne
in ": his usual 1 careful, ' energetic way,
boxing 10 fast rounds in aIL |
Squires again' entertained Denver Ed
Martin, who Jabbed the big Australian
all over the 'ring' and. cleverly, side
stepped f his rushes. Bill showed \u25a0no
great skill with" the gloves, but he was
trying, all • the -I time,' . barely a
few swings ; that j would . have caused
Denver Ed to take a' brief sleep had
they, landed on the point.
' Joe.Gans wired last: night to. his
manager, Benny t Sellg, for. informa
tion regarding his chance for a match
with -Ketchel. Joe understands that It
is all s oft ' and T regrets this, as he is
anxious to fight the Montana whirlwind.
Selig- will, leave for' Los Angeles on
the owl this. evening and have a talk
with Joe regarding the weight. It is
more , than likely that Gans will agree
to . meet . Ketchel at 145 pounds ' four
hours' before the fight, despite the op
position of his manager. \u25a0 Promoter Jim
CbnTrbth wants to stage the mill at his
Mission street, arena, on. Thanksgiving
afternoon or. evening. If Gans consents
to allow Ketchel • to weigh" 145 pounds
the match will- be made tomorrow. '\u25a0;:\u25a0',
•Coffrbth wired ' to^ his New York .rep
resentative last night to send on Owen
Moran. .the champion British bantam
weight, upen his arrival there. CoSroth
intends to; match* Moran -with Frankie

weight, but It is likely that the boys
will be brought together.

AUTOMOBILISTS BRING
FESTIVITIES TO AN END
Accident Casts Gloom Over
Motorcar Enthusiasts
• at Del Monte !
R. R. l'Hommedieu
Special by Leased Wire to The Call
DEL MONTE. Sept. 22.— Yesterday's
accident on the track, when Roy Rahms
was killed by* the wrecking of his car
during' a race, put a stop to the festivi
ties of 4 the 'Automobile club of Califor
nia. The endurance run around, the 17
mile drive, scheduled for this morning:.
was ~ postponed, and: after an. «arly
breakfast • moat of the automoblllsts
started for home.
.. Rehmsv death undoubtedly .means tha
end of the track racing: game so far as
the club. is concerned. Presidents P.
Schwerin when asked this mornrngr.it
the club would give up -track raclnjr
said that he was only one member of
the board of governors, and it would ba
assuming too. much to make. a definite
statement prior to a meeting of tna
board. He added:
• "It was a deplorable accident and one
which we all regret. Everything was
done. for the safety of the drivers, and
it. was one of those tragedies that can
never be foreseen or in any way be
prepared 'for." ' ' .
Arthur B. Watson, chairman of th«
runs and tours committee, -who had
charge of the' run and th« gamis, said:
"Undoubtedly this will be the end of
the racing game for the club. Future
events probably will consist of an easy
endurance run to Del Monte and an In
teresting program of gymkhana games.
These events provide fine entertainment
— but no more racing for me." *
President Schwerin presided at a
meeting of the automobilists last night,
at which there were inquiries as "to
how Rehms had left his , family finan
cially. Those present filed their na«ts
with C A. Hawkins, so that if financial
aid were needed they could be reached.
Herbert Martin, who was seriously in
jured in the accident, will be looked
after.
v COBOXER HOLDS INCEST
The coroner's jury considered the dis
aster and rendered a verdict this morn
ing that Rehms' death waa unavoidable
and purely accidental. It was brought
out at the inquest that it was not a tlra
that had blown out, but an inner, tube.
This caused the tire to go flat, and -in
the * strain of making the turn it ' tdre
off. letting the car down on the rim.
Rehms was thrown clear of the car and
was on his hands and knees when the
car turned over .on him. The wheel
struck him behind the ear. crushing In
his. skull and breaking all the bones
in his neck and Jaw.
The track was in better condition
than ever before and there was^virtu
ally no dust. It has been coated with, a
fine gravel, which was 'hard on th«
tires. This was noticed* by: Bert Ding
ley and A. Van Valin. Dingley was on
his twelfth mile In the 2»^mlle run
about race when he noticed that his
outside forward tire was being worn
down, and from that point he did not
press his car to the top speed. He said
this morning that his tire would not
have lasted five miles more.
The White steamer was barred from
the 50. mile race because it was uslxxs
water ballast on the inside f running
board. Pipenberg was " congratulating
himself yesterday that he had been pro
hibited from taking part. ". He said that
he- had been" preparing for an attempt
on the Los Angeles record, which* he
had held originally; but yesterday's ac
cident had put an end to his racing. .•
3IARTIN* RESTING EASII/T
Herbert Martin was resting efaally
this afternoon and there was hope 'for
his recovery. His internal Injury does
not appear to be of a critical natureJ
There was a peculiar turn la the
awarding of the prize for. the" endur
ance -run. At the meeting: last night It
was brought . out that President
Schwerin had sent word to San Fran
cisco, asking how many of those In the
endurance , run . were members .of . th*»
club. Of all that took *part only four
were members,* and of the winners- none
was a member. If .a .ruling ..be. matfe
in, conformity with the drift of ' the
president's remarks' the prize would, go
to A. C. Hawkins, for he made the best
score of those who held & membership
in- the club.
The dealers had no idea that. on«
must be a member of the club, to .take
part in the endurance run. . It is : not
believed, that the board of governors
will take the cup from a dealer after
he had won it when the chairman of
the -runs and tours committee had
sealed the dealers' cars and announce^
that they were eligible to start.". Haw
kins sided with • the- dealers and held
that he was not entitled to the cup. . .
