Backsliding of Black Cheers Up San Quentin
"IVORIES" START

Prison's Famous Negro Base

SAN QUENTIN, Dec. 1«. —With the

a few days ago, the colored c«nv:

...s the Ivories, which made
;i great record in the San Quentin Peni
and are practicing
for a match with the Whites.
Last summer a league was formed at
the prison by the convicts and many
ly games' were played. Six teams
entered the organization and fhe
club, the Ivories, captained by ,
"King" Black, finished well up in the ,

days.
AVERAGES WRONG
MANY SLABSTERS
Some Great Box Artists Rank
Lower in Tables Than
Inferior Men
NEW YORK. Dec. 10.—In the effort
to establish the strength of a pitcher
by the medium of the games which he
wins or loses the fact is overlooked
that it is a false standard of estimate.
The best pitcher in baseball anight
not be better in rating 1 than an ordi
nary pitcher were the luck of the game
to break persistently against him by
r^ason of bad work on the part of the
fielders who wore behind him or lack
of batting on the part of his own team
mates.
There is no such thing as an equali
zation of averages in the matter of
mistakes in play in a single season. It
frequently happens that a better
pitcher will have the worst support,
not through intention on the part of
his teammates, but simply because
irf unable to help it.
Assume that the record of Mathew
son for 1911 be taken as a standard of
comparison. If any one will take the
trouble of going through the games of
-imnier he will discover five con
which were lost with Mathewson
in the box when the pitcher was doing
;i as he ever did. Two such were
D Chicago and two were lost on
• le Polo ground. If any standard is
-stablished on the mere fact of victory
or deefat it certainly follows in cases
of this kind that one toll is paid heav-
Matr.fwpnn, who is made to as
sume the responsibility for defeat when
he was blamei
If it werr: ptMslblp to subtract from
the defeats which are charged against
Mathewson the games which were not
iost through bad pitching on his part,
but because of the fielding blunders
which were made by his teammates,
his record for 1911 would be quite as
htgh as that of Marquard as it stands
now. and the record of Marquard
would be perhaps better by two games
if the same rule were applied to him.
To attempt to establish the value of
a pitcher by a rule which has for it*
foundation only victories and defeats
can never, no matter how it may be
varied, give to the pitcher ful credit
for what he does In the box. If
Mathewson were to have his record of
laet summer so amended that he would
have By« more victories and five fewer
defeats the total would be 32 victories
and eight defeats, as against 26 vic
tories and 13 defeats, a difference that
is so great as to be perceptible to the
novice. In a game that is recorded as
a defeat for him in 1911 not a run was
earned by the opposing team, priving
how skillful he had been, but that he
could not overcome the blunders which
made it possible for the other side to
score runs against him.
It is a most difficult task to formu
late any system that is absolutely per
fect bo far as computing carrectly the
exact relation which a pitcher bears to
a baseball club. Plans have been dis
i-ussed along the line of earned runs.
Even that has a slight disadvantage,
for there are pitchers who are less
fearful than others about being batted
safely so long as they ascertain that
they have the game in their control.
Take a pitcher like Radbourne, for
example. He preferred that the batter
hit the ball. Sometimes there were
days on which he was not so effective
as others, which is likely to happen to
any pitcher, and the number of earned
runs which were made against him
would make it appear that he were
vulnerable, yet he might go for the
next five games and not have more than
a single run earned a game. Possibly
in the long run, by reason of skill and
good control, the average of runs
"arned a game would be a better proof
of his ability than any record of vic
tories and defeats.
The weakness of the victory and de
feat theory exemplifies itself strongly
in the case of a very good pitcher in a
■.cak fielding team. Put Mathew
son, Marquard. Bender, Coombs, *ord,
Walsh or others whose names could
readily mentioned in a team of
who were clumsy and slow on
the field, and how long would they
compare in records with the pitchers
who were receiving the best of support,
providing nothing but victories and de
i>atK should count for their final
standmg?
This subject was touched upon most
admirably by the baseball writers of
Hip United States in the 1910 issue of
Spalding'a Guide, and the opinion was
practically unanimous that victories
and defeats counted but vaguely as the
true standard of a pitcher's work on
the field.
We'll get a hard and fast rule one
of these days in which It is possible
that the earned run. which was abol
ished for no seemingly logical reason,
will be returned to its rightful place. .'

GOOD CARD FOR
COLUMBIA CLUB
Youngsters of Mission and Noe
Valley Districts Matched in
Four Round Bouts
The Columbia club, which represents
the majority of the fans of the Mission
and Noe valley districts, has arranged
a good looking card which will be
pulled of at its clubrooms in Castro
street, next Tuesday evening. The
fighters who appear at these monthly

fans down town, but they are all looked
upon as heroes out there.
The main event will be supplied by
Arthur Scott, a tearing little negro,
and Arthur Richmond, a boy of the
Noe Valley district, who has been com
ing strong of late. Both lads are fair
ly clever and good fighters and the
mixup is sure to prove a spirited one,
especially as each boy has a big fol
lowing in his respective district.
Joe Llvermore, who has fought sev
eral times at Dreamland, is carded to
whirl around against Pete McGuire, a
tough fighter from the Mission. There
is also another special feature be
tween Willie Benn and Norman Cou
ture.
The other bouts are as follows: Gene
Ferry vs. Kid Romeo, Harry Lewis vs.
Harry Paphe, Billy Pyne vs. Mike
Dunn, Arthur Rogers vs. Frank Dolan.
Al Murphy will referee all the con

OAKLAND CHAMBER MADE
MODEL FOR NEW BODIES
OAKLAND, Dec. 16. —Rapid strides
are being made by the Oakland Cham
ber of Commerce along progressive
lines, and the local body has reached a
place abreast of the most wide awake
and modern of the organizations of its
kind in the United States. As evidence
of this the local chamber is in receipt
of communications from all over the
country, requesting suggestions and
ideas from such bodies in process of
formation or old established organiza
tions which have had evidence of the
progress made by the local chamber.
This civic body is one of the most
potent factors in the growth of the
city, and the success of the Oakland
Chamber of Commerce in attracting the
attention of the country is ample evi
dence of the great progress of Oakland
toward the front rank of cities of the
United States.
Of the communications of the kind
mentioned, the chamber is in receipt
lately of one from Concord, Cal., and
another from Geneva, N. Y. The Con
cordites are Just forming- a chamber,
and have written to Secretary Denison
for suggestions. The communication
from Geneva, N. T., comes from the new
secretary of the eastern chamber of
commerce, who writes for ideas and sug
gestions for the improvement of the
organization.

LORD DERBY LEADS
WINNERS ON TURF
British Official List Shows Big
Falling Off for Fairie and
Whitney
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—The official
list of this year's winningl owners on
the English turf has just been received
here. King George heads the list by
courtesy, but his triumphs were few
and unimportant and interesting only
in that they mark a fresh era of royal
support of the British national sport
Lord Derby, after a close nght with J.
B. Joel, forged ahead near the close of
the season and his $215,000 is the high
est total recorded in many years. Joel
comes next with $175,000, while Fairie
who headed the list in 1910 with $175,
--000, goes down to about one-quarter of
that amount.
Among the American owners James
R. Keene leads with $28,000, while
Harry Payne Whitney has $25,000 to
his credit. This is a big drop from last
year, when his winnings totaled about
$70,000. Sun Ridge, with 12 winnings
and $165,000 in money, leads the win
nings sires.

cycle race which ended at 10 o'clock:
tonight in Madison Square garden.
The Fogler-Clarke team finished one
lap ahead of six other teams bunched
in a tie for second place.
The finish lacked the excitement of
the windup of six day races in recent
years. Fogler and Clarke practically
won the race at an early hour this
morning, when a series of sensational
sprints resulted in their gaining a lap
on the field. The advantage thus
gained was held to the finish.
Fogler and Clarke pedalled 2,718
miles and nine laps in the 142 hours of
the contest. To the six teams im
mediately following, 2,718 miles and
i eight laps were credited. The winners
I were 18 miles and two laps behind the "
record of 2,737 miles and one lap, made
|by McFarland and Moran in 190 S. The

Laplze and Van Houwaert,. 2,717 miles 6 laps.*
Frank Kramer of East Orange, N. J.. ,
the new sprint champion, and James s
Moran of Chelsea, Mass., were the see- ■*,
! ond place winners. Kramer won the |
! position, for his team in a sprint In
: which he and Drobach, Lorenz, Magin, ,«
Lawrence and I've were nominated to
represent their . teamall tied, a lap r
behind the winners—to decide the six
places after the first.
i The final one mile sprint was from, -•
I a standing start. Kramer took tl\e ; ;
lead in the third lap, cutting out a. *
fast pace until the sixth lap, when J
Mag-in punctured a tire and the race,;
stopped, r •_>■s
Kramer for a time refused togo on?
claiming that the bell was rung for
the final lap and he in the lead. Kra
mer finally put in a written protest
to the referee and agreed to start.
After a delay of an hour they were
sent away. Lorenz; did not start,
claiming that he rode ten laps to Kra
mer's nine and declaring that he won,
second money. He put in a protest.
The five men finished as follows: •
Kramer, Lawrence, Drobach, Magin
and Pye.
The order of the standing of the six
teams is:
Fogler and Clark, Kramer and Moran,
Demara and Lawrence. Halstead and
Drobach, Cameron and Magin, Pye and
Collins.
More interest was shown by tno
public this year than ever before, the
attendance breaking all records. Only
one lap was stolen during the week,
and that one lap was the one that pravo
the lead and ultimate victory to log
ler and Clarke.
