THE CALL'S SPORT PAGE
Long Signs Pair of
Eastern Cracks'
Eastley and Theobold, Drafted]
by Washington, Will Help j
the Local Team Along
Two more pitchers were added to
the Seals" staff yesterday afternoon
by Manager Danny Long:, who suc
ceeded after* a great deal of stalling:
in securing Frank Eastley and Jesse
Theobold from the Washington . club
of the American league. Both men are
rated as high are performers and are
much sought after. Long had the op
tion on them, however, and Manager
Cantillion of the Senators turned them
over to him at the last minute.
Eastley pitched great ball for the
Wheeling <W. Va.) club last season
and was drafted by Washington durins
the fall. Outside of his ability as a
iwlrler Eastley is rated as a crack
•ticker and a good all around man. l>c •'
ing competent to play the infield a
well as the outfifld.
Theobold, who te a big strapping fel
low, was the star pitcher- on the Madi
sin (Wis.) nine lset season. Thyvigrli
lie was with a lo>ng team he won
niore than 50 per cent of his games —
a. very creditable record. Several other
liip league clubs were on his trail, so
1.,0ng considers himself lucky in sc
ouring him. Both mon will leave im
mediately for this city.
The signing of Eastley. and Theo
bold gives the Seals no less than 14
pitchers this season. A ball team rep
resenting San Francisco never had
such a bunch before. The list includes
every class from big leaguers down
to bushers, and they also come in all
sizes and shapes. . /
"I believe that I shall be able to
p-ft at least five or six men out of this
bunch," said Long: yesterday. "It is
ray policy to jr«^t hold of as many
pitcher* as possible. It Is a foregone
conclusion that they will not all make
fcood, but those who show the class
ran work for me."
Long is very anxi<ms to either sell
or release George Wheeler, the utility
man of last year's team. Wheeler has
written several letters to find out how
he stands. The San Francisco manager
yesterday wrote to the playf-r in Los
Angeles telling him ttiat he was on 'the
market and that if he secured a suit
able offer elsewhere to take it, as he
could have his release at any time.
.Tack "Elfman, a likely looking slab-
Mer who performed in the Chicago
city league last season, has asked
Long for a tryout The manager told
«hp young man to show up at the park
this afternoon. "If you can stick >m
over properly and show me the right
kind of smoke I will give you all the
chance you need. Live ones are wel
come at this camp every minute."
Old Doc Frost -will be there to chase
the stray balls whpn opening day rolls
around. The Doc fixed up his contract
with Jack Gleason yesterday and now
he is happy again. Doc has eliminated
the brush he used to wear on his up
per lip and he looks lik* a young hus
tler. He guarantees the fans that he
will show them the loudest things In
baseball uniforms they »>ver laid eyes
on in any man's grounds.
A cinder path will be fixed up on
th« grounfls in a few days. This will
\u2666\u25a0Ktenfi along the third base Hn<» froni
the homeplate to tne fence. It will
rome in handy for the beys to run and
warm up on, and will also add greatly
to the appearance of the grounds.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 17.—
The Honolulu aU star professionals

manner by the score of 8 to 3. The

some time, while the visitors had 11
errors chalked up against them. The
home team was represented by Theile
and Ganong as a battery, while Doyle
r>t the Vancouver team and Jack Bliss

Assistant District Attorney W. Hoff
Cook sought to find out who Inspired

J. Dalzell 'Brown Inspired and supplied

THE \u25a0 SAX FRANCISCO >OALIy TUESIXAY^EBRUARY 18,1908.
Potrero Man Chojsen
Without a Hitch*
Billy Nolan Is Willing That the
Winner Shall Take ' the • v-U'
Entire Purse
Jack WelCh will be the "third man
in the ring when Abe Attell essays to
defend his American feather weight
championship title against Eddie Kelly,
the Buffalo- whirlwind. Billy Nolan,
acting for Kelly, and H. Cohen, ap-
pearing for Attell, agreed upon Welch
lest night after a little preliminary
talk. They also decided that Welch
shall be the official stakeholder, and,
in addition, they honored Jack with
the position of official weigher of the
men on the night of the battle.
When Nolan. Cohen ahii "Jack Glea
son, representing the. Occidental club,
met Nolan advanced the names, of
three men — Jack Welch, Eddie Smith
and Eddfe Graney, saying:
"Any of these .will satisfy me, but I
do not want to be put* to tlie' task of
making a- choice. If it is agreeable to
you we will put the names.", in -a' hat
and draw one out." \u25a0 i
But Cohen did not like this idea. He
evidently had- his mind set upon Jack
Welch, and he immediately mentioned
his name. Nolan had : no choice
among the men. so It was up to hint to
accept the king of the. Potrero, and he
did so without further, parley.
Then Cohen stipulated that Welch
be made the official stakeholder;, and
weigher of the men. Nolan did not ob
ject to this either. Accordingly,^ both
managers will meet the referee at noon
today and each will deposit $5,000 as a
guarantee that the boys will be on
hand and at weight. Welch must also
supervise the weighing in of the lads
at 8 o'clock on the evening- of the-bat
tle, .which will take place at Dream
land rink either February 28 of 29, the
exact date to be given out by* Manager
Gleason today.
If Nolan had his way the men W&uld
fight with the proviso that the winner
take all. After Cohen made, a little
talk as to the prowess of Attell, NOlan
said that ho was so confident of his
man's ability to trim Abe that tie would
be willing* to, leave without a cfeot In
the event that Attel! was victorious.
But Cohen did not look kindly upon
this suggestion.. He ' saw the $2,500
guarantee, and he said Xc Would let it
go at that. '
"Well, then," said Nolan, "T will bet
you fifty even that Kelly will put At
tell to the floor inside of 10 roUnds."
Cohen took this', bet and Nolan
smiled with satisfaction. <,
Nolan firmly believed thdt the Buffalo
lad is the coming champion beyond the
question of a ddubt. He has Issued in
vitations to any boxer in the city not
weighing more than 130 pounds to go
over to Shannon's at San Rafael -and
put on the gloves with the Buffalo
terror. ?': J -: : i^h
"Nobody Is barred," explained Billy.
'The faster they come tho : better this
boy will like it. He can take care of
any .number of them. Believe me,
when he Wallops something 'or some
body is going to hit the cafpet. I was
never more confident In my life of any
thing than I am of his ability to trim
Attell. He is the greatest small fighter
I ever laid eyes on."
During an argument over the re
spective prowess of Attell and Battling
Nelson, Nolan took occasion* to . declare
himself after Cohen had intimated that
Attell had the^ better of the six round
go between the Jboys at Philadelphia..
"I will take my hat off to Battling
Nelson as the gamest and hardest work'
Ing fighter that ever Stepped Into a
ring," said Nolan. "I have nothing to
do with him now. "We, have separated
for good, but at the same ; time I be
lieve in giving a man what is coming to
him. He can clean up all . the Abe At
telJs that they ever set before him. He
is a fighter that is true— dne Who will
fight. Whenever he starts .remember
that a battle Is on. There is only one
Battling Nelson."
The betting on t><e Ketchel-SulHvan
go to be decided Washington's birth
day receded a point last night, and now
the Montana man is on the long end
by another full point, the price being
7 to 10. Sullivan's friends believe that

Students to Oppose
Order to Register
BERKELEY. Feb. 17. — The recent ul
timatum of the Pacific athletic asso
ciation that all students of the Uni
versity of California shall be registered
in the association, or not be entitled to
amateur standing, has aroused the Ire
of Editor C. Kelley Hardenbrook of
the Dally Callfornian, who terms the
action of the athletic association as
unwarranted. He says . that the At
tempt of the association to insist on
the enrollment of the university ath
letes in its body Is merely to compel
the university- athletes to pay the
association registration fee, regard
less of their own wishes in the mat
ter. :
The recent communication of the
Pacific athletic association -to - the
executive committee Of the students
will come up for final decision .before
the committee "Wednesday night. It
probably will be rejected, and a War
fare between the leading amateur as
sociation of the Pacific coast and the
University of California started.

Around the Bay
R. R. l'Hommedieu
The clear sunshine of the last few
•dflys has. dried up the roads, so that
the Owners-who have ventured outside
of the city limits have been reporting
some pleasant outings. It i 3 reported
that the "century" run around th£ bay
Is most enjoyable at present, and the
roads are in surprisingly good condi

The next big event in the automobile
world on the Pacific coast is the third
annual hill climb on the Pasadena-
Altadena course. The route will b»
changed this year to make the distance
longer, and indications show that there
will Be A larger field of contestants
than before. In the first contest, which
was held February 22. 1906, there Were
two dangerous turns and there Wftre a
number of narrow escapes at these
points.
T. Mirk has entered the automobile
game again with a new model White
steamer. Mirk is .In the construction
business in this city, but resides in
San Matpo. and will use his car fre
quently in the run to his home down
the peninsula.
\u25a0 A' White steamer, driven by E. I*
King, was the only one of tight cars
to make a perfect score in the recent
100 mile reliability run of the automo

Three great 24 hour races were held
in the metropolitan district last year,
won by the Thomas, the Renault and
the Flat, respectively. Challenges were
hurled back and forth for a time with
out result, ana now the driver Of the
Flat has proposed that * 24 hour race be
run at Ormond, . and that this race be
run f&r four hours each day for six
days, the cars to go Into control #ach
night, but the Automobile Club of
America did "not sanction this event.
and it Is not probable that the race
will be run. Recently th» Thomas en
tered for the Brlarcliff race, and now
the three winners of the last season —
the Fiat, with Cedrino; the Thomas,
with Roberts, and th(* Renault, with
Bornln — will meet in thd great face for
the Brlarcliff trophy, and the rivalry
engendered by the winners' Of last
year's race will be settled in an«open
road race over a good course, the re
sults of which will be watched with
great interest.
Cuyler Lee. local agent for the Pack
ard, received in a letter from the home
firm the information, that nearly a third
of the 727 motor car 3of the 1903 model
already delivered from the Packard mo
tor car company had .been equipped
with limousine bodies. Many of them
had both touring and limousine bodies,
as the Packard limousine 13 inter
changeable with the touring car body
On the same chassis A peculiarity of
this advanced limousine trade la the
attention which is paid to the tastes
and wishes of the women, either a%
direct purchasers or on account of their
influence in the selection of cars.
