Fans who gathered at the Oakland
grounds yesterday afternoon had a
chance to feat?t their eyes.. upon the
meet elegant sample of sand lot base
ball that the league has known -in many
a moon. For nearly two and a half
hours the Angels and -.Coramuiers jock
eyed around and plugged through
round after round of the muddiest
baseball of the season. Finally, the
Commuters became lucky and put over
n. couple of additional runs near the
ftnlth — Just enough to carry them
along. .^i*rX-- r^X :
Oakland used three pitchers and Los
Angrclee two. None of the various box
trlists had anything, co it was. an aw
ful pipe for the batsmen to wallop the
*phcro to the remote corners of the
lot. Errors and mi splays by both bat-
VfcrJft« occurred at frequent intervals to
prolong the useless agrony.
The Anpels started with a lead of six
run« in the first two ininngs and the
fans, flg-urlng 1 out the recent dope,
were sure that the Oaks would hoist
•"•\u25a0ld yellow flag. Strange to say they
didn't. Their first spurt stirred the
home xooters and the cheering cries
lrom tht bkachers apparently put new
life Into the suburbanites.
It was Red Devereaux who was the
Icing of the big suck when a hit was
needed in the fourth," with a full hoO£t.
Bill soused the leather into the right
frarden and two runs ciime in. This
v.-at the office for the rest of the boys
to do likewise. They waded in and
had Hosp so badly on the run thai
he was chased to the bench to make
w-a;- for Randolph, who fared little bet
ter for the rest of the game. ,
Happy Hogran drew a lucky home run
J,.i the sixth, when' he lined the ball
into the left g-arden. It took a false
uound and went over the fence. Del
mas was on base and arrived with
Kappy.
In the next round the Oaks landed
for a couple more. Score:

SEALS HIT THE BALL HARD
Fourteen San Francisco Players
Make Circuit of Bases
PORTLAND. ' Sept. 24.— Pitchers
H&rtman and Willis were wobbly to
day and the Seals toqk the game by
th* wretched score of 14 to 3. The
visitors started right by scoring in- the
opening inning, but: in the. second the
Beavors. with two in cold storage, hit
so well that Kennedy and Byrnes
scored. Portland gathered another, in
the fourth, but after that it was all
off.; •
There were things doing for the Seals
in the fifth. Williams went to first
on four wide ones. Zeider flew out
to" center. Street biffed a safe one
and.Wlllis sent up a pop fly. With two
down the visitors did not look es-
Kpeclally dangerous, but they were. HU
debrand walked and up came Piper. He
drove the ball to Mott. who heaved a
wild one to first By the time Me-
Credie had picked It up, Williams,
street Hildebrand and Piper had
registered.
The Seals drew one more in the sixth,
and in the seventh there -was real
slaughter. Seven hits brought home
seven runs. Score:

FIFTY AUTOMOBILES IN

R. R. l'Hommedieu
The funeral' of Roy Rehms," the auto
mobilist who was killed in an accident
to his car during the 50 mile . race' at
Del Monte last Saturday, was held yes
terday. More than 50 automobiles were
in the cortege, that 'conducted the* body
of the popular chauffeur from an un
dertaking, establishment in Mission
street to the grave.
, It has been stated that the: Tourist
touring car, that- stopped: on, the thir
teenth mile in the long distance race
at Del Monte had to pull out on account
of trouble with its Goodyear tires.' This
is a mistake,: for the Tourist cars have
never had trouble with' tires. ' The
cause of the stopping on Saturday was
that the timer failed to work.' : •

Stable Room at Oakland Race
Track Already Exhausted
J. R. Jeffery
; vyith the date for the opening of the
racing season at Oakland still some
weeks distant. the ; officials of the; New
California Jockey club are already hav
ing'their ".troubles on; the score of pro
viding -stable accommodations. .Up to
date a greater number of stalls ;have
been "applied "for than are- available
and several owners who have arrived
from r Seattle and other racing \u25a0 points
within- a/day or two without; having
taken the* precaution to ask for stable
room In-iadyance have 'been met v with
the* statement :that- they could . not* be
accommodated -at- Oakland, but: that
they might, ~if .they • desired.V quarter
their strings at Tanf bran, where there
is every 'facility for training opera
tions. \u25a0' \u25a0. -. - •
; The •ongestlon already /fn evidence
is largely, the; result: of an unparalleled
Influx of class' horses from New York.
Advices from ; New York , are "to" the
effect that 35 express cars have been
engaged^ at the Wells-Fargo office for
the , transportation ; of face horses :to
Oakland during the next few weeks.
Thirty- five w/J cars ,will accommodate
more ; than V4OO-: horses, which is an
unprecedented i number to come «to the
coast from the metropolitan , tracks.
Another, cause; of congestion is the
presence on the coast of : a larger num
ber of horses * than, usual, due to the
curtailment ,of, racing >in, the j middle
west. . TherUncertainty which .has- pre
vailed concerning t the status of. racing
in . southern .-California also has oper
ated to increase the>demand for quar
ters, at Oakland, "v / .
i The officials \u25a0\u25a0 of V the • New California
Jockey club "will , be* compelled to exer
cise no little discrimination \u25a0' in - the
"assignment^ of. the limited number of
stalls that 1 are available. It probably
will be. part of their policy to provide
properly.- for: the horses of j class that
are • coming from* the east, as patrons
of the\ sport demand class races rather
than those of -the mediocre sort, -and
with a large - number of i good horses
to draw from ;it will be possible " to
have better races than otherwise would
be -the case. It is "quite natural, too,
that the horsemen who have stood by.
the New; California Jockey club season
after season will receive the considera
tion they deserve.
/.Official standing, has been given to
the Los Angeles ;Racing association,
which will control the Santa Anita
track now being built at Arcadia, by
the filing at Los Angeles of. articles
of incorporation signed by E. J.Baldw
in. Barney Schreiber, George Rose,
M. . Lawrence and' W. E. Dunn. .
Baldwin ; probably will be honored
with election as the first president of
the association. -Work on the construc
tion of the track is being rushed by
a force of several hundred men, under
the direction of Contractor Allen, and
it -is hoped to have the plant ready
far racing in\ December. Barney
Schreiber and Jack "Atkln are engaged
in getting .out . thej stake book for the
inaugural meeting 'and the books will
be ready for distribution soon. :• The
stake features of z Ascot will : be re
tained at Santa Anita , park, although
some 'Of them, will.'appear under'; new
riames. : .-The amount of the distribution
will- be .increased; V -\u25a0
The Santa Anita handicap, afoheand
a: quarter.', miles, -with a guaranteed
value, of $7,500, will be .the big event
of the season. The Los Angeles derby
will ; be an. event with $5,000 added.
.Lyman H.. Davis will be tendered the
position';of racing secretary. W.- E.
Dunn will represent the' Pacific Jockey
club .as steward, and Colonel A. W.

on the coast In several years. -
It tabes good horses to make good raring and
attract patronage 'from abroad as well as at
home. * . There Is sure to be Improvement along
this line next winter.. We hare a number of
new -stake events aud njore added money for
horsemen, and expect a tetter meeting in eTery

\u25a0 President "Williams expressed himself
as ' greatly . pleased with the showing
that. his, good; colt- Firestone had made
In the east and expected the youngster
to develop into a first rate 3 year old.
He* confirmed* the. report that It was
his -intention to collect a formidable
stable to bear his colors on the east
ern turf next season.
" Fourteen horses owned by t J. O. and
O. H. Keene arrived at Oakland yester
day from Xew:York. In the string are
Red Leaf. Mansard, Bravoure, Boas, a
2 year old and nine yearlings. ,
.Jockey Scoville and a brother of
Jockey Herman Radtke came with the
horses. Young Radtke Is an appren
tice, and good judges say he Is likely
to develop into a good rider, although
he is only a mite as yet.
Jack Keene planned to ship five more
horses from New York yesterday in
one of the car's I>r. Rowell had engaged
to bring the 'stable of Thomas H. Wil
liams west. ..- <
Vox Popul!,, Mary B. Clark and Bon
heur reached* the Oakland track yes
terday from Seattle, having been
Shipped ( by steamer. A mixed carload
also arrived" from Reno, including Yo
San, v Joe' Goss, ' Elba, Janeta, Captain
Burnett, Katie Crews and Arrow
maker.
Kercheval. winner of the last Burns
handicap, was twice primed for a kill
ing -at \u25a0 New' \u25a0\u25a0 York' -recently,, but," the
plans of those behind, the proposed
coup were frustrated '\u25a0 each time by the
action : of the stewards of the jockey
club in ordering the horse scratched —
on the first occasion because of the
failure of his owner to settle a Sara
toga forfeit and the next time because
his owner failed to report the horse's
arrival in the paddock as required by
th§, rules, 30 minutes in advance of the
time for the running of the race.
i-'. H. T. Griffln will : participate In the
racing %t Oakland nest winter as usual.
His string will include a bunch of
promising yearlings, most of which he
plans to dispose of before- the season
ends after they have shown their form.
Musgrave, the Jockey whom Griffin de
veloped last season, is not with him
now, his contract having been bought
by Phil Chlrin. Musgrave has been
riding very well during the summer.
W. E. Applegate purchased two year
lings at the Lexington sales a few days
ago. For- a chestnut colt by Aintree,
out of .Isabel ll.;he paid $225 and for
a bay filly by Farandale. out of Out
pace, $125.
The report comes from the east that
A. B. Dade, who is now starting on the
Canadian circuit,, will receive the ap
pointment as starter at the new
Arcadia . track in southern California.
Inthat event Starters Dwyer and.Holt
man,"""who have been accustomed to
divide the California dates, alternating
with one another at Oakland and Ascot,
will find themselves . with considerable
leisure time during their California en
gagement this winter."
W. A. . McKinney, who trained with
signal success for C. E. Durnell on the
eastern ' turf this . season, has' severed
his connection with that astute horse
man.,- Subsequent to -the Durnell dis
persal sale a few. horses that. were bid
In were raced at New York in the name
of the Burllngame stable, with Jk-
Kinney as trainer. McKinney will now
