Coast League Leaders Lambasted by the Seals
Abies Not Able to Enable
The Able Oaks to Retain
Their Notable Percentage
Cack Henley, on the Other Hand, Makes Those
Commuters Look Foolish; Oakland
Lead Cut One Full Game
three and a half games was cut down one full game, for Happy HOrgan's
1 igers were successful against the Senators at Sacramento. The big left
hander had been freshened up for the opening conflict, but what the despised
Reidy led his forces to victory. It
was in the seventh that the Seals
opened up their batteries and drove
Abies to the bench. The southpaw
was badly beaten and Tyler Christian
was sent to stop the onslaught.
Reidy's 1913 hopes showed rare form
with the slapsticks, as all the boys,
with the exception of Zimmerman and
Henley, found it healthy exercise
ptraightening out the curves of the'
Oakland fltngers.
Abies went along nicely for six
f rames, but in the seventh he busted
into squally weather and was rescued
when it was too late. Up to that time
the score Was 2 to 1 in favor of the
Oak?, and the lead of one looked
r mighty big. as the Oakland machine
was working in good order.
Cactua Henley, the tall man of the
Peals, bent them over for the seventh
position team, and his twisters were so
crooked that they dodged in between
the Oakland bats. Mr. Henley was
pretty much of the show for the Peals,
but Rabbit Mundorff had a speaking
part, too. The little outfielder was the
real Samson with the willow, as he
crashed against the hide for four safe
belts in five times up.
CACK'S OTfLY BREAK
Henley's only fault was a lapse of
memory in the second, when he ilrrew
the ball away after getting his man at
first, forgetting that Bertram Delmas
nppened to be on the bases too. The
bone Was responsible for a tally.
The Oaks scored the first knockdown
in the second. A light tap to the in
field by Delmas went for a hit, and
Then Cook performed by sacrificing.
Tiedemann hit to McArdle, who knocked
It down, Henley taking the throw at
first and getting Tiedemann. Henley
seemed to be well satisfied with his [
■d work and threw the ball to the
iund and Delmas took advantage of;
good nature and scooted home from i
: i bd .
Tn toe fourth Gustavus Hetling j
.-mote the hide with force and vigor, j
the pellet speeding to center for aj
double. He moved along to third when \
Tohe booted Delmas' grounder. Cook's |
sacrifice fly allowed Hetling to come ]
home.
In the sixth the Peals took the stage. |
Mundorff singled to the right field j
fence, Mclntyre hit to Cook, who threw j
to Deard to fret Mundorff, but Bill I
dropped the throw. Zimmerman".* out
seat Mundorff to third, Mclntyre being j
forced at second. Corhan kicked j
through with a hit, scoring Mundorff.
SEALS «0 ♦ROL'SD AXO 'ROVNO • j
Tohe started the cannonading in the j
seventh. He hit a bounder that two- j
stepped over Tiedemann's dome to right |
v field. McArdle fanned, but Schmidt did
better, getting a hit to short right, i
Tohe dropping anchor at second. Hen- '
l*v failed to impress, going out on a
fly to left. Tohe and Schmidt moved j
up a peg on a wild pitch by Abies, j
VTuffll singled to left, scoring Yohe, and j
on Abbott's error in fielding the ball]
Schmidt scored. Wuffli pulling up at j
third and scoring on Mundorff's hit to j
center. Mundorff stole second and j
scored on Mclntyre's hit to center.
For good measure the Seals made \
two in the ninth while Christian was]
doing the flinging. Henley walked.
Mundorff doubled and Mclntyre ditto,
which scored Henley and Mundorff. The

DEAD ANGEL TALE
AN EXAGGERATION
Seraphs Disprove Canard Again
by Loping Marathons
Around Beavers
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15.—The Angels
again demonstrated today that they
have been merely sleeping and that the
report of the death of the whole bunch
was a gross exaggeration. Halla was
on the mound for the Seraphs and Was
gracious in allowing li hits. This,
however, was not sufficient to enable
Portland to take the game, as only five
runs were made off the bombardment.
Fltchner and Higginbotham took turns
at the pitcher's job for Portland, and
10 hits were garnered from their gen
erous—not to say sloppy—delivery.
These 10 hits the Seraphs converted
into eight runs and made the demon
stration mentioned above.
Portland's first run was made in the
first. Cunningham singled to right and
Doane sacrificed him to second. Rod
gerß singled infield, putting Cunning
ham on third. Krueger forced Rodgers
at second, but Cunningham scored on
the play. Fisher flied to Daly.
In the second Norton grounded and
Baker was safe at first, and took sec
ond on Berger's wild throw to Moore.
Bancroft singled over sliort. Baker
scoring. Bancroft stole second and
went to third on Hoffman's low throw
to the keystone sack. Fltchner went
out, Berger to Moore, Bancroft scoring
while the play was being negotiated.
Cunningham singled to left and Doane
was out on a third missed strike.
The Angels took one in the third and
then, finding it easy, duplicated the
performance In the fourth. Nothing
doing by anybody in the fifth, but the
Angels took four in their half of the
sixth and threw terror into the souls
of the Beavers.
In the eighth the Portland wonders
took another one, but the rejuvenated
Seraphs wentthem one better and took
two when it 'came up to them to hit
the ball. Portland was helpless in the
first half of the ninth, and the Dlllon
ites did not have to play on account
of the tallies accumulated already.

[Special Dispatch to The Call}
SACRAMENTO, Oct. 15.—The Tigers
played like a crew of real ball players
today, and by terrific hitting in the
early stages won an easy game from
the Senators by a..score of 7 to 4. Two
home runs, one by Bayless, With two
men on bases, cinched the struggle for
Vernon by the time the fifth inning
arrived, despite the fact that Sacra
mento kept pegging away until the
last.
The. dfie run Van Buren's team gath
ered in in the second inning, on Orr's
double, a sacrifice and Cheek's single,
was but a drop in the bucket to what
Bayless uncorked in the third. Car
lisle opened frame three with a single
and stole second. Kane drew a walk.
land all hands cantered when Bayless
i banged one of Alberts' shoots over the
fence.
T*he Tigers continued to rage in the
J fourth, Litschi banging a three bagger
Ito left and scoring on McDonald's hit
through third; and again in the fifth
Carlisle punched the ball out of the lot.
Two more were added in the seventh
and ninth, the double steal being
worked effectively in both cases. Fa
vored with such a big lead, Harry Stew
art had no trouble in holding the So
ions tight. Singles by Orr and Irelan
and a sacrifice fly were worked for a
run in the fourth, and a hit, walk and
infield out developed another in the
j eighth.
Van Buren had visions of a thrilling
rally in the ninth, when he put Gilligan
I in to hit for Alberts, and the big twirler
j walked and stole second. Van cracked
a single to center, giving Gilligan
transportation home, but there were
no more Senators to follow their leader.

Waratahs and Cardinal to
Meet Today in the Second
Of Their Rugby Contests
Australian Visitors Seem Not to Have Been Up
To Par in Their Games Thus Far; Some
Speculations Based on Showings
WILLIAM UNMACK
think so. True, we have made wonderful strides at the game, and right now
show a vast improvement since the time the combined American varsity team
toured Australia in 1910. That improvement, however, is not sufficient for
local fans to think for a minute that
we are as near the equal of the Aus
tralian standard as the score shows.
There is something wrong with the
Australians. Either the team is a
weak one or the men have not yet
struck that proper form that has made
them so famous—not only in their own
country, but the world over where
Rugby ia played and followed. It is
hard to think that the team Is a weak
one. The men on it and their records
disprove such a theory. Then again,
the men had every opportunity at Stan
ford last week to get into proper con
dition, and there should now be no
excuse to Offer.
If Stanford is as good as tha acore
makes the ability of the team appear,
then we are certainly an improved
Rugby nation: but if, on the other
hand, Australia was not playing its
game last .Saturday, then we are still
as far from knowing just how good we
ate as if the gam* never had be«n
played here.
SOMETHING OUT OF WHACK
We have seen the Waratahs now in
three games. If those games can be
taken as a criterion of the ability of
the team, then I for one go on
record as saying the visiting team as
a team is not the equal Of many of
tho club teams playing in Australia.
As a team the Waratahs have not
shown, up to the present, any of that
higher class work that ia necessary be
fore they can begin to be compared

Local fans have been expecting big
things from the Waratah team. Not
big things in the matter of scores, but
big things in playing ability. True,
individuals have shown us plenty of
this in the three games played, and
occasionally we have seen flashes of
that combined work that goes to Inake
the Rugby union code the greatest
of ail football codes in the world.
Today the team will meet Stanford
for the second time, and we are all
anxious to see the Australians pull off
something more sensational than they
have shown so far. In the first game
Stanford took every opportunity to
break up the various rushes that were
tried by the Antipodean men. If the
team has not learned its lesson from
that game, we can expect to see Stan
ford do the same thing over again
today. If, on the other hand, - the
Waratah men have held a council at
war and figured out their methods for
today's game, there should be a differ
ent tale to tell in tomorrow's Call.
PACKS BOTH SHUFFLED
The teams to take the field today
will be strong ones. The Stanford
lineup will be considerably changed
from that of last Saturday. Captain
Cass Is a douhfful quantity for today's
contest. He may play, but it ia
possible that he will be held out of
the team. There will also be a prob
able movfng around of the back field
in other direction*.
The Stanford forward* will show
several changes. Lull, Dafsie and
Thorburn all are slated for the game
today, and three of la»t Saturday's
team will be on the side lines.
Dr. Otto BohrSmann, manager of the
Waratahs, has made a few changes in
the team* that will represent Australia
this afternoon. In the backfleld
Tasker will be in the three quarters.
Meibusch. who Was injured in Satur
day's game, will not be able to take
hi* place, and Wogan will nil in the
wing position with Adamaon and
Tasker in the center and Carroll on the
other wing.Fullback Dwyer, who played
*uch a great game against his vis a vi*
Benny Erb, will be in the same posi
tion and another duel between the
crack fullbacks is looked for.
Prentice and Walker will play the
two halfback positions. The front
row of the scrum will see George.
Griffin and Watson doing the hooking.
Watson has been put in place of Keni,
who played in Saturday's contest. An
other change has been made in the
second row, with R. B. Hill taking
Pugh's place. Fahey will be the other
second ranker. In the rear rank Cun
ningham will play the breakaway posi
tion, with Wylie on the other tide.
Richards will take a rest. Cunning
ham played a brilliant game against
the Santa Clara team and his foot
work, dribbling and fast following will
be features of the contest today.
The teams will lineup as follow*:
Australia. Position. Stanford.
