Seals Get Webfooted on Paso Robles Field Strenuous Practice Checked by Showers Chick Hartley, Quaker City Burglar Catcher, Is Latest Recruit; Boys Eager for Games WILLIAM J. SLATTERY [Specia/ Dispatch to The Call] PASO ROBLES, March 7.—lf any of the old time racehorse dockers were to be given a chance at selecting San Francisco's baseball team for the -eason of 1912, they surely would divide the bunch into two squads—the 'madders" and the boys who have a hankering for the dry track. And the | mudders* 1 would all be odds on choices at the present moment, for the j Paso Robles baseball diamond presents just the sort of front that old. Fmeryville used to show when the trainers figured to cut loose one of their webfooted: speed marvels. " The showers come and go, and then return again." The sun keeps up a hide and seek. Marathon with the "clouds in the afternoon and is relieved by the moon and the stars at night. And be tween times the tossers take to 'the i diamond and do the very best they can. ; But the good natured spirit is still j in force and the pepper can is kept well filled. If any of the tossers are in a j kicking mood they have not shown, it ; yet. They are satisfied to go right ' ahead and do all the work they can. .JPanny. Long is of the same turn of ; mind. He ..feels confident enough that he will have every one of his' lads fit before the month of March- has passed into history. The regular Paso Robles ball field, J the one with the grandstand and the j new fence and all the other trimmings, j was no fit spot for the boys to work ; this morning, but as the sun was shin- j ing its brightest Loner was determined I that they should get their morning j warm up. so he trotted them out on the ] old lot. which is well covered with ; grass. _-..-■ - The move was a wise one and every body was satisfied. The early stunts | consisted mostly of tossing the ball j around. It was a bit too slippery for j any batting or infield practice, but the | players were able to stand around ana , shoot the ball at each other. C: Another recruit was present when the boys got the order to start the morning warmup. -This latest .arrival is Chick Harvey; once a burglar catcher in Philadelphia, but from now on, it is to be hoped, a regular San Francisco outfielder. • : Hartley alighted from a belated j train last evening and found Boss Long and the rest of the baseball contin gent tucked away for £he night. He went out to one of the cottages and , tumbled out Captain Mohler and a few , of the others. After being properly introduced. Hartley took to the hay j himself and was out this morning with j the rest of the early birds. The new man Is a giant, being only topped by Sheely. He is a 6 footer and j constructed on white hope lines. He | swings his bat from the right : side i and he swings It hard. too. He used i to be one of the champion night stick wielders of the Quaker city and they j say that he can handle a bat with j equal force. Now he must show us a Mohler and Long made all the men take it easy this morning, though there was the usual tendency to tear Kven if the weather is a bit wet. there is a certain attractive balm that is tossed in on the side, end this seems to spur on the boys. They are anxious to show I .Thc'Tni'tiar workout lasted an- hour The initial workout lasted an hour and everybody lo6ked rosy and happy. The only difficulty which the towers ; had to contend with was keeping their ; feet. The Held was soggy and mushy and the slightest bit of extra pressure meant a fall in the mud. with possible dire results for the man who flopped But they were mighty cautious and ; none of them lost their balance, though , some \ver*» rather wabbly. I The afternoon loomed up like a real California summer event and the squad ■ took to the field half an hour earlier j than usual. But then there cam i a i sudden switch. The dark clouds got another decision over the sun and. a heavy shower drove the boys into the clubhouse a few minutes after the> rot settled down to their strenuous taFora time it looked as though, they would have to call it off for the daj. but old Sol finally did a comeback and nnce more the clouds lost the verdict «nd everything was fine. and dais> for the tossers. , , ,,„ It meant regular work for another hour. ra Lon« Mui-kly marshaled his ; forces together and began to issue or ders just like a commander in ch.ef before an important battle. The boys had become sufficiently warmed up b> this time to grab hold of the(bats and Uk the old pill all round the lot, to tnMr ,own great delight and that of the Paso nobles fans. . . - Each of the pitchers took hh turn in the box. working in pairs.. The bat ters seemed a bit inclined to step up t« the plat" too lively and Long had to call several halts. Acting under, in struction!:.- the twirlers hurled them over In Ham Iberg style. °, un. Ma row and Jesse Baker, two of the left banders! did use ■ a little smoke now and then and were quickly warned by th* ever watchful Long. .•_,, nf Danny took up his position back of th?p"tcher ß and carefully noted every thing that was tossed at the ting hattwt Those'who held clubs + seldom • flowed ■ anything to get past them Thf>v -•ere for taking a chance at all offering? and they did th- best they could to keep the ball right on the ground - Most of them were successful, Little Mundorff .-continued v- to "lean oar* n-t the ball. Most of his- efforts ? *", Ilted in long drives, several of which went over the heads of a few of the boys who took up their positions In the outer gardens. There is no doubt that this little fellow is going to be a factor with the club this «*«*>?• The wav in which he is swing ing the bat ?i*ht now is proof enough that the men who are ' wort ing against him or an outfield anJ an infield berth will, have tO Bfg SSheely "l- clouted well This youngster is there with the < trick of putting all the weight in his massn shoulders rieht behind the bat. He is trying all the time, though ihe se^ms just a bit too wining to swing at every thing that is tossed up. *> ■•>'.• • j _.---:■ McTvor continues to hit the ball on th« beak and. like Yohe. the new in fielder, he has something to say every time he connects. That old: southern twang of his can *c heard; all over the lot Yohe is delivering very nicely. lie' stands up to the plate just like a man who know.- Hp« to pick oft the good -ones. ' Just a* ■ soon as he has done a little more,in. the infield and, has had a chance-to tear around the bases. Long will be in a position '; to give bin expert opinion of the Texan. Jackson's work in the few tryouts makes him look like a certainty at*first base. He is built right for that 'Ira-, portant place and he will not have much opposition save from Sheely,;who lacks the experience, which counts just as much in baseball as: in any other pursuit.* '.; .. ' V '-•■■ , - . -'■ ,■'■',: -j --■••jT-.V fy - Westmoreland is doing all that could be expected of him. but, like the others who are not known. here, he will haye 1 to take part in a; few games before' we can get a real line on his form. Cor lan seems to:have the goods and also the reputation to back him up. Gideon looks like a coming youth and is a good, willing worker. ■ .. Watt Powell probably will'not have to worry about; his Job, for it looks safe enough. If Johnson lines am out as he was wont to when he joined the club last fall he will be a hard \ man to drive off the team. The four catchers— Aver, Mil ford and O Toner—take their regular turns,with the pitchers every day. Of course it - will take some - time to line them- tip.

The others are new and, therefore, they will have to pin on something in the practice games. It -looks as though Danny must carry" three; backstops. ', Everybody is : anxiously waiting for Sunday, when the first games".will 1 be played. Long Intends to divide his squad, up as evenly as possible so" as to give them all a chance to show , against the local':ntHfe and the aggre ; gation down at San Luis Obispo. r- ■?' But the fans need not be disappointed j if + the -Seals - suffer a double defeat; j They will not be. allowed to pull any :of the big league stuff: against the i bushers. -It*" will. be a ' warmup only, i and those who take any chances will I be in line for a prize call down from ! the boss. : • . .... The country toppers, on the other hand, will wade right In and use every-, thing they 'havei in order to slip one over on the famed Seals. They are = all in good shape and can afford to pull the best that, is 'in them. Just think I what, a victory over San Francisco 1 will mean to these boys and they are ■ rated as regular ball players at that. On the following Sunday a couple of double headers will be carded. The , Paso Robles and Soledad aggregations ! will take a turn out of one of the ! teams, while the other will start with the San Luis Oblspo.and San Ardo ag i gregations in San Luis. Outfielder Tom Raftery is laid up sick | i in Minneapolis and his arrival will be : delayed for a few days. He 1 wired j Long to this effect today. Tom was I unfortunate enough to catch the grip j just as he was about to pack up his; j trunks. However, he will have plenty i of time in which to condition himself, ■ so Long is not worrying. STARS WILL ENJOY REAL COMPETITION Stanford Cinder Track Scene of Cardinal and Olympic Con test Tomorrow WILLIAM UNMACK The first reai competition in track and field this year will take place to morrow on the Stanford cinder path between the cardinal varsity team and the Olympic club squad of stars. Track Commissioner Pete Gerhardt of the Olympic club and Captain Tom Coleman of Stanford yesterday an nounced the teams that would represent the respective institutions, and. judging by the men named, first class compe tition is assured in every event on the : program. The varsity will be crippled by the i absence of Captain Tom Coleman from ttie sprints. The crack short distance i man is not in proper shape at present. an.) Trainer Moulton yesterday an ; nounced that he did not want to take . any chances and would rather keep I Coleman out of the meet than have him j leave himself open for further injuries. McKee and Campbell will do the ■ short sprint? for Stanford. Judging I by the way M^Kee ran in the 100 down I in Los Angeles last Saturday, both Ger j hardt and Sneligar will have to beat I :1(» l-.=> to jret the decision. While Stanford suffers a loss through the absence of Coleman. the Olympic. club suffered a loss equally as severe yesterday by the breakdown of that pcp r o f half m ilers, John O. Miller. The veteran has been running in first class form and gave every indication of once more making those remarkable times that were so usual when he started in an K&o yard event some years ago. Yesterday, Jiowever, when on the track his ankle went hack on him and he is now laid up. The trouble is the same that happened about two years ago, and it is doubtful if he will be able to don the spikes for several weeks to come. With Miller. McAuley and Craig out of the team, the winged "O" ha« a much weaker aggregation than was ex pected to represent the club a week ago. The 'Jiscus throw has been added to the program as an extra attraction and will give Snedigar^ and Rose, a chance to get in a good competition with a view of starting work with this mis sile for the trials for the Olympic games.: Snedigar' is : one of the best men on the coast ,with the discus and took a place in the event in the A. A. U. championships at Pit.tshurg last July. IN The hammer "and field events !: will have plenty of classy material. In the high jump Horine,' who is at present touted in the east as a possible mem ber of the American team * for Stock-, holm, should have:an easy win In the high leap and it would not be surpris inging to see him negotiate ; well • over 6 feet. 2? inches. The shotput- will see Ralph Rose in action once more, and In the s hammer throw Dan Mahoney and Alderman will fight it out. v , _ :; The Olympic club team will leave for Stanford on the 11:40 o'clock- train to morrow morning and the meet is sched uled to begin at 2:30 o'clock. ,' ; ;•*», -"100 rard flush —Stanford.

Gregory was a holdout for more coin, and it looked for a while as though the Oaks were booked to lose that stellar twirl er. But Gregg and President Walter had a confab this afternoon and the star pitcher finally came to terms. Gregory says he will sign tomorrow morning and proceed to the camp at Livermore. The fans were anxious about Gregory and were sorry to hear that he and the cluh had not come to terms. The long lad was one of the best twirler*. in the league last season. He did not get off any too well on the early pace, but toward the latter part of the sea son he climbed fast, and finished with the best twirlers on the coast. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1912. Rival Nines of "Oaks" Squad Battle For 6 Innings-"Buddists" Win 9 to 1 Trvo members of the winning Oakland team's battery, n>/io showed form in yesterdays practice game. ATTELL'S ADMIRERS WAGER THEIR COIN If Abe Can Get Away With Mur phy Fans Will Have to Take Hats Off to Him JOE MURPHY When the admirers of Abe Attell cut the betting odds to 10 to S yesterday. the Murphy money was brought to the surface and some lively betting ensued. Considerable money was wagered on the outcome of Saturday afternoon's battle yesterday and from indications it looks as though it will be a heavy betting affair. Strange as it may seem, the fans havo as much confidence In Attell's fighting ability now as ever, evrn though he was beaten by Johnny Kil bane lees than a month ago. They still have faith in the pugilistic prowess of the little Hebrew, who defended his title for so many years and they still ar«» willing to wager their coin on him. Every point of the match is in favor of Murphy, but this cuts no ire with those who wager their coin. Attell is fighting a man who has every natural advantage over him. lie is giving away a great deal of weight and he has to be right to win. Murphy is a natural lightweight. Tvhilp Attell could easily make I^o pounds if he were forced to it. In fact he has made the weight. It is but a short time since Att^ll fought Kilbane. and a fighter is hardly at his best when he enters into another bout in such a short time. A 20 round battle is wear- Ing and if Attell can get away with Murphy the fans will have to take their hats off to him. Murphy is a tough fellow, who knows every angle of the game. He is fast and a fairly good boxer and he has the physique to go 20 rounds at a break neck clip. He can rough it as well as being able to stand up and box. In fact the New Yorker appears to be bet ter now than when he first appeared in this city. Attell and Murphy boxed before. They met in the east in those short bouts where a referee is not allowed to ren der a decision. It is hard to get a good line on these bouts. Attell sterns to be confident that he can befit Murphy and the latter is cer tain that he will whip thp Hebrew. On dope th^y figure about even. That is, if you use the dope on the fights of both men in this city. Murphy was given a decision over Owen Moran in a 20 round bout which was held in this city a couple of years ago. The verdict was unpopular, as many at the ringside were of th« opinion that Murphy was certainly entitled to a draw, and there were those who believed that Moran had the edge. Attell and Moran have battled here on two occasions. Both bouts were hPld at Coff roth's Olma arena and both of thf>m were declared draws. The first battle went 20 rounds and it was even ly contested. The next battle was scheduled for 23 rounds and neither boy was able to demonstrate his^superi ority. The contestants in tomorrow after noons battle might be termed veterans at the game, as both fighters have been at it for many years. It must be near ly 12 years ago when Attell boxed in the four round game before the San Fran<-isco clllb ftwa in Sixth street. Murphy has not be<»n at it so long, but the record book has him d.ated back as far as 1903. The training work of the fighters ended yesterday, both men putting In some good lick?. Murphy is down to weight and Attell has no worry about this point, as he will be. pounds under the required weight. Tack Welsh, who will referee the bat tle will pay a visit to Attells camp this morning and during tne afternoon he will take a ride over to Murphy's camp in Oakland and have a talk with th* little New Yorker. The advance sale of tickets opened yesterday and from the first day's sale Promoter I'offroth looks for a good house. Ad Wolgast. who is appearing at pantages' theater. Is talkin- fight again The feeling to get back into tiie game seems to have come over the lightweight champion, and his friends say that it will not be very long before he agrees to fight. In fact, some pre dict that he will box on July 4. A cablegram from Australia announc ing that Hughie Meeghan, the great Uttle Australian lightweight, planned an invasion of America in the near fu ture and was ready to wager $5,000 that he cojild heat Wolgast. brought the American champion to time. Wolgast took notice of Meeghan s challenge and announced that he would Kive the Australian a chance at the title "If Meeghan comes here," said Wolgast yesterday. "I will give him a chance and cover his side bet. I know he is a good man from the reports I have heard of hie ability, and I think he is deserving of a chance at the cham pionship."

SHARPE'S TWIRLERS SHOW THEIR CLASS Players Eager for Livermore Game; Catcher Mitze Still Holds Out LIVEBMORE, March 7.—As the fea ture of the day's practice, two rival squads of the Oaks battled for six inning 3 this afternoon. Six twirlers worked out, three on each nine. Mar tinoni, Malarkey and Pope, with Rohr er on the receiving end. formed the battery line for the team under the leadership of Bud Sharpe, while Abies. Parkins and Flater^ with "Big John" Tiedemann, were on the opposite fir ing line. Time -was called by Manager Bud at the end of the sixth frame with the score 9-1, in favor of the "Bud dists." •Spike" Martinoni twirled right up to midseason form and showed that he needed very little limbering. The tall lad put some peculiar twists on the ball, with plenty of speed; Mar tinoni looks good for the coming sea eon and undoubtedly will be one of the mainstays of the club. lie has plenty of speed and some cruel benders. He also possesses an important requisite in a twirler—a cool head and lots of nerve. Malarkey and Pope both showed -well and look lo be the goods. Of course, it is a little early in the game for the lads to show just what they have with th«»m and it will take some days to find out what each man really can do in the hard going. Catcher Ttohrer worked like a major behind the bat and justified all the recommendations given him. He has a strong whip, han dlf»s himself well and shows that he knowg what to do with the pitcher. Harry Abies was in his element to day. The newly wed has been prac ticing durfng the last few months and nepds little practice. He retains all his old time speed and curves, and works like a colt. Flater is a little flat and will have to limber up some before the hard go ing. A little of the tough stuff and he will do. The new twirler. Parkins. showed promise, and although this is the first time he has worked, he looks to be right. Ti^demann was right there behind the bat and worked with a vim that would be hard to beat. The big lad is going to»set a hot pace this season and will make the leading backstops travel some to keep in his dust. John has a whip of Iron and shoots them around like marbles. The shoots go on the line, too, and don't lose any power on the way. There will be little base stealing this season if John maintains the pacp. The winning nine was composed of Bud Sharp©, first base; Leard. second base- f'ook. shortstop: Hille, third base, and Coy, Zacher and Hoffman in the gardens. The losers had Wilkinson on first, Hamilton second. Amsbrey at the busy station and Gus Hetling on third. Bank head. Smith and a local lad named Me. Hale formed the outfield. The boys went through some good practice in the morning from 10 o'clock until noon. The work included batting and fielding practice, limbering up and road work. The boys all are right on edge to get down to brass tacks, and Manager Bud has to hold tight on the reins to keep the tossers from working their heads and arms off. Another practice contest will be pulled off to morrow between two picked teams. Bud will change them around tomor row and Rive all the twirlers a chance to show their class. The infields and outfields also will be switched. Bud is in high spirits over the way the pjayers are rounding to form and predicts great doings when they trot on the field in the initial contest. Many of the boys already are in form for the gong. All are anxious and willing to show the new manager where they shine and show encourag ing eagerness for work. Secretary McFarlin took a trip to the valley town today to look over the lads and make arrangements for the big game and ex cursion Sunday, when the Oaks will line up against the Livermore aggrega tion. '-.. ;. Much speculation nan been aroused orer the contest, and the fans and bugs are on the anxious seat waiting for Sunday. They will turn out in a bunch to see the 1312 Oakland challengers in their first game, as this will be their first opportunity of watching the re cruits work. ... It is expected that the grounds will be filled to overflowing when time Is called. Bud *as not announced his lineup as yet, but states that he prob ably will use Martinoni and Abies on the mound, with Tiedemann and Roh rer behind the bat. An eight car spe cial will leave First and Broadway Sunday at 12:40 o'clock and will return from Lievrmore at 5 o'clock. The squabble between the club and Mitze, the holdout, is still on the hooks. Mitze thinks that' he has not been of fered what he should get and he is de termined to stick» for his - price. The club has its hind feet in the dirt also, and the v managers say that Mitze has been offered all he is .worth.: Mitze says that his contract does not call.' .for as "much -as lie received 7last year, and > the sturdy little i backstop is bent on ;a'. boost/ The fans hope that the difference will be settled,', as .they are anxious to*see Mitze in the Oakland logs this season.
