DETROIT LOSES FIRST
GAME ON HOME FIELD
Chicago Plays Superb Ball
and Never Leaves Re
sult in Doubt
Special by Leased Wire lo The Call
DETROIT. Oct. II. — In the first game
of the world's series on its own field
the Detroit American league team was
beaten this afternoon by the Chicagos
by a score of 6 to J. It was a well de
#=«>rved victory for the Chicago team, as
ir played superior ball throughout the
game. There were several errors of
omission on the part of the Detroit
team besides the two errors scored
agrainst them which figured in the Chi
cago run making-.
It was anything- but baseball weather
tbls afternoon. The temperature ranged
between 46 and 50 degrees during the,
grame, with a cold 12 mile wind from
lie north blowing across the field. Sev
eral times there were showers, one.
while Chicago was batting in the fifth
Inning being so heavy that it was
necessary to interrupt play for 15 min
utes. Again In the seventh inning there
was a sharp shower for a few minutes,
but it did not last long: enough to In
terrupt the game. The srttendance wa«
\u25a0 disappointment, reaching- only 11.306.
The raw, cold day probably had some
effect in holding down the attendance,
'io doubt, tog-ether with dissatisfaction
with the arrangements governing the
sale of tickets. \u25a0'\u25a0-"" ;
The Detrolts did not at any time in
t!ie afternoon show the snap and dash
v.-hich marked their playing during the
American league season here.
CHAXCE SLIGHTLY IXJL'HED
Uossman continued his fine work _at
first base and drove in Detroit's only,
run. Donovan gave but two bases 'on
balls, the same number which Overall
did, but both of Detroit's pitcher's
passes developed into runs, while neith
or of Overall's gifts were expensive.
Captain Chance of the Chicago team
was hit on the right hand by an ,in
shoot while at bat in the opening in
ning and both his second and third
lingers were badly crushed. The game
Mas stopped while the injuries were be
ing dressed, and Captain Chance said
Tonight he feared the injury might pre
vent him playinp tomorrow.
Just before play was called, at 2
o'clock, Manager Hugh Jennings was
railed to the plate, where Mayor
Thompson presented him from local ad
mirers a life sire floral tiger and a gold
watch.
It was in the fourth inning that De
troit scored its only run. "With two out
Cobb drove a splendid triple to the
crowd in center field, getting a three
base hit under the ground rules. Ross
man followed with a single and scored
him. Then Coughiin singled and
Schmidt walked. The crowd was on
tiptoe with expectancy and shouting
for O'Leary to clear the bases, but he
struck out.
O'Leary handed Evers a grounder
slowly in the fifth inning and Evers
reached first base. Schulte got a base
on balls and Tinker advanced both men
with a sacrifice. Overall's hit scored
Uvers and Slagle's fly to Jones brought
in Schulte. Shreckard forced out Ov
* rail. Detroit went out in regular or
c^r In its half. "V-. -V >
SAFE O.V HIGH THROWS
Neither team scored in the sixth, but
Chicago rallied sharply in the seventh.
Schulte opened with a hit. Tinker tried
to sacrifice, bunting to Donovan. The
pitcher threw high to second to catch
Schulte and both were safe. .Overall
advanced them with a sacrifice. Slagle
grounded to O'Leary. who threw to the
Xilate to catch Schulte. The Chicago
man, however, slid under the ball and
scored. Shreckard scored Tinker with
a safe bunt. Chance forced Shreckard
at second and then started to steal
second. Schmidt threw to Shaefer and
while the Detroit second baseman fol
lowed Chance down the base line to
retire him Slagle scored. Chance was
then put out.
A base on balls on Tinker in the
rinth materialized into a run by means
«f Overall's sacrifice and Slagle's fly
hack of short field which fell out of
reach of the Detroit fielders. Rossman
«.nd Coughlin raised the crowd's ex
pectations by singling in succession in
the ninth, but the next two men were
*asy outs.
The total receipts thi« afternoon were
$17,285.50 and divided as follows: The
players, 19,334.17: the national commis
sioners, $1,728.55; the Detroit and Chi
cago club owners, $3,111.39 each.
Captain Chance said tonight that he
would probably pitch Brown tomorrow,
or Pfeister If Brown wa» not fit. It
was expected that Mullln or probably
Killian would be sent into the box for
Detroit tomorrow: The score:

Varsity Freshmen to Battle Today for Rugby Honors
University freshmen who will play today in the Rugby game between Berkeley and Stanford; Dwiggins and. Hatch (upper left) and Renouf and Jordan
(lower left) are of the Berkeley team; Fletcher Dole and Reed (upper right) and Dole and Brown (lower right) are among Stanford's representatives. In the
center is the lineup of the two teams. / .',.'' '^ \u25a0\u25a0 .
Players in Both Teams in Pink of
Jrny steal \,onaition
William Unmack
The above chart will furnish a good
idea of the positions of the freshmen
players in the' Berkeley and Stanford
Rugby teams when they line up across
the bay at 2:30 this afternoon to
struggle for football honors. £i : 'f'ii
It -will be noticed that both varsities
are playing 1 the three three-quarter
system with two five-eighth men. v -
In the forwards both teams are play
ing the two three two pack forma-
Both teams are In the very best con
dition and an excellent display of Rug
by can be looked for
The California team has fully three
\u25a0weeks' advantage in practice over its
rival and this haa probably had much
to do with the wonderful display of
"real Rugby" the blue and gold babies
have shown, in their games. . -
On paper California has decidedly the
better showing. Rugby, however, is
full of chances, the /Same as any other
sport, and it may be that Stanford will
spring - a surprise, but it is hardly
likely. '
In case the ground is muddy from
yesterday's rain, the players .win find
it of great advantage to them to wear
woolen mittens with the fingers cut off
above the second joint. The mittens
will enable them to take the ball and
prevent a lot of fumbling on account of
the slippery condition of the ball.
The teams are not overconfident as
to their ability. Both are going on the
field to "play to win," and with this
spirit paramount I look for a first class
exhibition of Rugby. /
Berkeley Players Expect to
* Put Up Stubborn Game
Do Not Underestimate Worth of
Rivals From Stanford '
BERKELEY, Oct. 11.— The eve of the
freshman game tomorrow afternoon on
California field finds the team of the
blue and gold confident that they have
a hard contest before them. The fresh
men think that they will have a des
perate struggle to capture the game.
The men will trot out on the field in
perfect shape, due to their system of
training under the direction of Pro
fessor Walter Magee of . the depart
ment of physical culture. It is the gen
eral belief of the student body that a
better conditioned team of freshmen
never faced the cardinal.
The hopes of the 'student : body: in
their team run high in Berkeley, to
night and it seems to be the general
opinion among the undergraduates that
the freshman team will carry away s the
honors in the contest of tomorrow.
The team' has not been coached to
that .way of thinking, ; however, for
the warning note of overconfldence and
lost games has been instilled in the
men by the, coaches. Captain Hatch
said of the 1 prospects of victory:
"We are going to have a hard tussle
to come out ahead. It has been noised
about that we have an easy game be- ;
fore us. I know that this is not '• so."
Past performances of the two teams
don't count for much, and we will go
out on the field tomorrow an equal, , I
think, but not a superior of i the Stan
ford team." ' •
The freshmen were given a 'sen doff
by the entire university tonight when
they gathered in Harmon gymnasium
to hear football talk from the lips of
a number of : prominent collegians.
President Wheeler was "the. speaker, of
the evening.*. The building. was packed
to the. doors and enthusiasm ran high
over tomorrow's game. ; ,»' \u25a0 ,-'

AUTO DEALER TELLS HOW
HE NEARLY LOST A SALE
Car of a Rival Company
Keeps Flashing Past
Him on Road
R. R. l'Hommedieu
This Is the 'latest told by Homer
Boushey, who handles the Pope cars.
Ona day during the early part of' the
week -\u25a0\u25a0. Boushey was demonstrating a
Pope-Hartford, with j Jack Fleming at
the wheel. ; He had previously informed
Fleming that the -prospective customer
was nervous, : and \ advised Fleming jto
travel at a very easy speed. Boushey
occupied the tonneau. with the man, and
they had gore but two blocks, when a
lnrge car of another make dashed by
them. : - t , ".. :r - - ,"\u25a0-•*;
The prospective buyer asked the make
of the car, but there- was ;no .need for
him doing so, as the name: was: on; the
front : radiator, in large brass - letters.
Another block had scarcely been cover
ed when a ; car, of -i the ' same > make \u25a0: ran
past them. % Boushey. looked up arid : no
ticed that itTwas | the -same car, but ; the
occupants had changed ' .places jj at the
wheel. " Bousliey also observed that his
guest was looking at the car, and before
they had gone a,, dozen ; blocks that
same car had passed them eight itimes.
When-.Boushey was about ready 'to use
a" dynamite bomb, or anything else that
came to hand on the car, the prospective
customer : remarked;; "that i must ; be a
veiy popular make of car in this city."
Boushey -had trouble in keeping the
man's mind off the \u25a0 car that kept
constantly dashing, by them, so as to
make the sale. . , \ \u25a0

Commuters Solve Joy's Twisters and
Score an Easy Victory
W. J. Slattery
It did -not take the' Oaks five min
utes to office up properly to the alleged
twisters which. Barney Joy started to
slip- them yesterday afternoon. ,All
Honolulu would have gone into mourn
ing had it heard the resounding wal
lops that resulted, when bat met ball.
It was bing bing and bang bang. Four
Commuters beat it to J the pan in jig
time, and the only reason thai^ 44 of
them did not go all the way around
was that Pa Van Haltren wi6ed the
boys - to , save a couple for today. . ;
' It was a regular world's champion
ship' finish,; 6 to 1. with the Oaks giv
ing a correct imitation .of the Cubs and
the -Seals; transformed into Tigers for
the time being. ' Class was lacking all
the time, but as the, lads who ride on
tho ferry boats were having a ' barrel
of fun with thewild man from Hawaii,
nobody seemed; to cire.
S Why j,Danny Long did not take the
big Kanaka out of tne.box w.-en the
balloon j was sent-, on \u25a0 its ; way . has not
been j explained. : Barney came ' back In
the "next" spasm, when everybody looked
for -him to : get . rousted to "the; club
house. The Oaks seemed to be filled
with \u25a0 pity and compassion for the port
ly Hawaiian and did not'bother them
selves much after : that round. -j. .. - '
Ell Cates had all: he .needed to give
the Seals a^ good time. With his Bpit
ball doing, 'its deadly work and the
team; behind htm playing ball good
enough to go in any man's league, the
fans who were not on the spot ] can
readily imagine what a chance San
Francisco had to get into, the game.
Baby Esola managed to slip in: during
the progress of the eighth, thus saving
his team' the humiliation of a white
coating. I ;^'X %\u25a0.
Right away, quick the bombardment
was inaugurated in the opening period.
Joy could not ; find the plate for Smith,
and -a" walk was the result. Jimmy
promptly stole and arrived on a hit
that Papa put Into ] center. Heine took
a: slap in^ the- slats i and the; old gen
tleman stole I third ' while Joy' held the
ball.,' ; Heine then pilfered second, after
which Truck EagansWung into line
with ' a ; souser \ to ; center;" chasin g . Van
to the pan and Heine ; to third.', : After
this : little :: side ; play Bliss squeezed
Heine : through! and ;Bigbee, Haley and
Devereaux all took rides on the. ones
that ; Barney fed them. Haley ; was
caught at Is the - plate on',- Devereaux's
smash .' ; to left, \u25a0 otherwise ' the agony
might still be at'lts height.;
Barney was > not j molested again till
the.; fourth.; 'Then Cates walked. Smith
sacrificed anfl < Joy 'made ; a wild pitch.
Van's second drive to xenter, scored the
run:^ The. lasts one /came about I: three
innings 'later.' Heitmuller was passed
and stole, causing a ring -of the bell
after Bliss ;\u25a0 had .' singled sto right. ' :

Baseball Notes
There was not a hit . during the game that
was worth more than one base.' Fast work in
the outfield , kept many : of ' the drlyes down to
singles when it looked as though they woula be
good for half the route.
' There ; were . but three putouts :In the Sesl
outfield. I Hlldebrand got two of - them and riper
the ~ other. ' ,' Melchoir stalled around ' all f atter
aoon without finding a thing to vary the mo
notony. -'
; Street . became \u25a0 disgusted with the layout . In
the fifth -round and threw up the sponge to make
way; for. Baby Eaola. . The baby was thera with
the wing and not an Oak stole a base on oim.
Bliss also was In rare pegging form and caught
every \u25a0 Seal who tried to pilfer second.
The : nsnal - happened to Raspberry Derereanx.
He kidded Barney for fair when the team forged
into the lead. Everybody laughed and Bill was
having the time of bis life. He got away \ w'.th
the funny staff In great style till he. was caught
off : first : base * : by the kanaka : in* the Jteventa
round. Then the .laugh was on Bill, bat he did
not • seem : to ' care.' for he doffed his cap \u25a0 when
the crowd in the bleachers proceeded to bam him.
\u25a0 ' Cliff ' Blankeasbtp,', the - catcher . who \u25a0 did rech
good work on ' the -; Seattle team '} la 1005 aad
1006,' ha* returned to this city from£M^shlagton.
He -. \u25a0 says ;he had ' . a great ',- MMon wi th
the '£ Senators.'"-"* Besides : catching J- nearly t all
the } games/ J.'.'Blank" fllled In :at first bas«
whenever .he was needed; in fact,* the former
Seattle star was a ; Tery busy : young maa'.aU
season. He mat the ball squarely on the tose
most of , the time, batting close up to th« .SCO
mark. \u25a0 Blankenshlp likes California, Ms wit*
being : a . San ' Francisco girl. ' and he expects to
spend the winter here. " He says that C*ntllUon
has a grand ; team for next season and that it
figures -to .be <in the first \u25a0 brigade : right off

MAY ENTER LOGISTILLA
FOR WATERHOUSE CUP
Trainer Hoag Believes Mare
Will Be Able to Go
the Long Route
J. R. Jeffery
Trainer Hoajr will point his good
mare Logistllla for the Waterhouse
cup at two and a quarter miles If shY
shows a return of her form of last
winter in the handicaps and stake fea
tures at a mile and over in the early
part of the season. The theory has,
been advanced by some that Logistilla
does not care for a longer route than.
a mile and an eighth or. a mile and a'
quarter, but Trainer Hoag believes that
it will be demonstrated that she will!
go as far as horses are asked to go If;
in good condition. College Widow will,
be the Hoag candidate in the California!
Oaks and such other stake features as
may appear suited to that game filly. l
Although College "Widow has failed to'
develop size, she is doing nicely after;
the letup which Trainer Hoag has^
driven her following the strenuous cam*;
paign^she went through at Emeryville'
and Seattle. She will be ready for 1
early racing. College Widow is cer-l
tainly a useful racing tool; for besides
being fast and game she can run her
race in any sort of going. \u25a0
Fred Myrtle will shortly take up Al.
Lindley, Canique and other horses that
carried the colors of James Touhey
last winter. These horses were turned
out for the summer at Sacramento and
are reported to have done well. Myrtle
will also take charge of Gosslper and
Christmastide. which Billy Short has
been racing "on the northern circuit
since the close of the Emeryville sea
son under a leasing arrangement. ;
Santa Ray. the mare whose crazy,
antics at the post furnished the provo
cation for an exciting riot at Seattle
race track last summer. is being
sent along by Jack Clifford for open
ing day at Emeryville. Santa Ray is
a notoriously bad actor and her ownar
would earn the gratitude of the race
going public if. through frequent
schooling, her behavior at the post
should improve. Bad actors not only
are a poor betting proposition in them
selves, but frequeh-tly interfere with,
the chances of other horses. i

William Hawkes 1 Cigarlighter is be^
ing pointed for the opening handicap.
He breezed six furlongs yesterday In
very handy fashion.
San Nicolas, another candidate for
the opening handicap, is also showing
the railbirds that he can run after hi 3
rest of a year. He is" doing his work
very nicely.

Jockey Radtke will leave New York
to report" to the Keene stable at Em
eryville one week from today.

Al Austin has returned from Los An
geles and reports that remarkable
progress is being made on the new
track at Arcadia,
.• '• i \u25a0 • f •
William St. Vincent is expected to
arrive from Seattle today with his
stable.
Ben Levy will put on a book at Em
eryville for the opening.
Jockey Miller will not come west
until the Benning meeting closes.
This means that the Emeryville meet
ing will be a month old before he will
begin riding here.
Some good judges of racing in New
York excuse Jockey Miller's recent bad
riding on the ground that he has rid
den too much and too steadily for two
full years, and is stale and tjrack :
sore. Christopher Fitzgerald, one ofj
the stewards, took Miller to task fora
a recent bad ride on a hot favorite and I
gave him a stiff dressing down. Th«
lecture evidently did Miller no harm,;
for the next day he rode with his old.'
time dash and vim. :

George Boles, who is coming here to
