Confidence Is Great Stuff, But the Pitcher Must Put Something Else o*lJj^LJ^ all > CALL'S DOUBLE PAGE OF SPORTS Baseballitis, a Dangerous Disease CAMPBELL IN LINE FOR BIG BOUT Clever Local Lad Will Go to the Front if He Beats Rees Ray Campbell, the speedy little local lightweight, hopes to score a knock out over Louis Rees when they come tomorrow evening at the Pavilion rink, and if he does the .-"home Industry boy Intends to go ! right to the front as a 20 round per "" former. Campbell looks to be In rare form for the bout and has been made a 10 to 8 favorite o\-er Rees. Good lightweights are badly need ed now to recruit the ranks In this class, and the only way to develop talent Is to give all the boys a fair chance. Campbell did splendid work throughout the northwest all sum mer, beating all comers. Therefore Jie Is entitled to consideration and he stands a good opportunity of making • his way to the front. This boy Rees is a tough one. He . can wade in with any of them and he never has been stopped yet. He is. without doubt the toughest P33 pounder on the Pacific coast today, and, although he has lost several decisions, he Is still very well thought g *of by the fans of this city. He Is the nearest approach to Bat Nelson " that we have seen here In many a moon. There is little doubt that Camp *'bell r will outpoint the Los An geles boy for the first two rounds, but after that time they will have to look out for Rees. When he starts to tear he generally makes the fur fly. He has a damaging punch In either hand, and, while he Is awkward, he is always dangerous and he Is espe cially effective against clever per formers. Another youngster, Johnny Soden berg, the Omaha middle weight, also •will have a chance to fchlne. He is a great favorite with the fans on ac count of his gameness and his will ingness to come back after taking a beating. He is going on with Al Rogers In the special event of the weekly four round card. Rogers Is a fighter of the Sharkey order, very aggressive and game to the core. \ . Lee Johnson, the little black feather weight from Oakland, will mix things up with Kid Expoaito of the northwest and a rattling good bout is expected. Harry Dell and Johnny Aaron, the local bantam wefghts, are also on the list. These little fellows can hit as hard as the ordinary light . weights, and lt looks as though one of them Bhould score a knockout. The other bouts are as follows: Johnny McCarthy vs. Battling Kelly, welter weights; Eddie Miller vs. Kid Williams, bantam weights, Lou Sims vs. Sailor Nizke, middle weights; Sol , dler Wood vs. Soldier Dazele, light weights; Jack Bratton vs. Ralph Brunan, feather weights. Fair Magnate Tires And Quits Her Job Mrs. Agnes Havenor, owner of the American association base ball club, has relinquished the presl %dency of that organisation and caused the election of A. F. Timme as presi dent of the club to aucceed her. Mrs. Havenor still holds controlling inter est. Cornelius Corcoran was elected vice president and Louis M. Nahln, secre tary and treasurer. The board of di rectors consists of A. F. Timme, Mrs. Havenor, Messrs. Corcoran, Nahin and Frank. FitzseraJ-d, , , , Slattery's Spikes THi, movements of bud Anderson, the Uregon lightweight, will be •watched with eager interest by all those who are strong for the boxing game. Anderson is here to attempt the task which proved the undoing of Ad Wolgast. He's going to attempt to give a correct imitation of how a fighter can come back after an attack of appendicitis. The majority of the wise boys can't see how the stocky little northwestern bruiser can possibly make good, but for all that, he appears to be confident enough. He starts against Joe Aza- vedo in Oakland on October 28 In a 10 round mill. * » * ANDERSON is lucky to be pitted against a weak tap per like the Sacramento lad in his flrst attempt at a come back. Little Joe never has harmed any of his opponents. He gained a 10 round verdict over Wolgast when the former champ was just about able to stand up. This did not prove that Azavedo is the makings of a great fighter. He will have to show us a whole lot more. * » * AGAINST a light puncher of the Azavedo type there is a chance that Anderson will manage to stall by, especially in a 10 round canter. He will not be forced to take a Bwere lacing on the body, and the punches which Azavedo probably will plant on his Jaw are not tho brand which shakes fighters up. so he is not in immediate danger of being flattened. * * * THE boy from Medford is at tempting his return aot Just a little over three mohtns after being lifted from the operating table. Wolgast waited for nearly six months before he tried his hand at his old game. He was a dismal failure, allowing Ritchie to put it over him In four rounds. Therefore, it is no wonder that the fight followers lack confidence In Anderson. * * » WHAT a tearing, rip snorting wonder Wolgast was up to the time that he was com pelled to fall for the knife of the surgeon. He won all his battles by ripping in after his opponents and wearing them down, despite their size, their skill or their strength. They looked for him to rule the lightweight ranks for years to come, but, alas! his fin ish was a rapid one. * * * FOR a long time Wolgast would not admit that appendicitis proved his undoing. He main tained even after his last battle with Ritchie that he was Just as good as ever and that he would be able to fight himself back to form. But then he realized that he could no longer fool himself and the public at the same time and he was willing to admit that the operation fixed htm. * * * OF course, Anderson Is not tackling hard game at the Jumpoff, but at the same time he is very liable to blow up un less his old time strength is there. The work of a ring star is strenu ous work, and they simply must be physically fit or they can not go the route. If Anderson fails this time, nobody will listen to any fighter who ever suffered from appendicitis. * « * AT last they have matched Charley Miller and Gunboat Smith back in Gotham. This battle will interest tho fans of San Francisco Just about as much as lt will some of the fans of New York. Both *blg fellows learned the game Lew and, fought most of their Important battles here. They are old time rivals, each having a win over the other and one draw. SMITH has been persistently ducking the giant carman for many months, and It was tho prevailing opinion that he would sidestep hhn in New York Just as he did out here. But somebody evidently handed the Gunner a shot of courage and he agreed to take Miller on. At least, this Is what they say, but there Is liable to be a switch before the date of the battle, October 31. # # » JUDGING from the Boston re ports, it is vory evident that Miller lost a very hard luck decision to Tony Ross In Boston on Tuesday evening, when he was disqualified In the third round. The dispatch says that Miller's act was entirely unintentional, but this made no difference to Ref eree Flaherty. He quickly ruled asrainst Big Charley, and that set tled it. Dav's Day Dreams FLASH BY BRAINLESS Don't take it to heart. The Seals may be doing- the same thing over again this time next season. * * * It is highly probable the Giants will have more respect for the bush hereafter than ever before. * * ** Go to it, you Seals, also, you Sena tors-—why should we worry? Neither club belongs to us. * * » But hereafter try to finish the game before dinner time. Friend wife is not a fan and she was real peeved last night. * ♦ * How we would enjoy reading an article written by "Jeff" Tesreau on "How I Fooled the Athletics." * * * WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY AFTER THE GAME Charles Comlskey—l notice the Ath letics won.

HOWARD HAS 1914 SEALS LINED UP Present Team Will Fight for Pennant, With One or Two Additional Men JOE MURPHY The fans will not have to wait for the training season to get a line on the Seals for next season. The team that Is in the field now will be prac tically the same as the one that will represent this city next season, with a couple of additional players. Apparently the fans are satisfied with the present combination of toss ers, as they have been playing the game in a satisfactory manner. It Is the general belief Howard would have had his team up there fighting for the pennant had he the same bunch of tossers on hand at the opening of the season as he has now. While it seems that the Heals are destined for a second division berth this year, Howard has made a credit able showing with the club. He looked to have an awful tough bunch to start off with. He got off to a poor start and then he started to climb until he reached second place and within hailing distance of flrst TRAM BOLSTERED IT Tho efTrtrt waa too much for the Reals. They had played above their mark, and then came the crash. The boys started to slide, and they did not stop until every other club was passed on the downward course. Howard realized that he was up against lt, and Magnate Ewing was also of the same opinion. They start ed to purchase ball players, which resulted lr> the acquirement of Chap pie Charles, Jerry Downs, Nig Clarke, Lefty Leifleld, Dutch Schaller and last, but not least, Jeff Overall. With these players the weak spots of the club were strengthened, and today the Seals look like a future pennant winning combination. The club has been particularly effective against Portland during the last half of the season, the erratic work has been characteristic of the team's play ing. When they were expected to do something the tossers fell down on their admirers. Jimmy Johnston was subdued by big Harry Abies yesterday and the fleet footed outfielder did not have a chance to break tho base stealing record. He went to the bat on four occasions, but was unable to get on the paths. It Is a safe bet to make that the first time Johnston reaches first he will lose no time in trying to pilfer second. * * * That fellow Corhan can pull off some of the most remarkable fielding stunts. He took Bill Leard's ground er In the second frame behind second base and threw him out by many feet. It looked like an Impossible chance, but Roy made lt and had time to spare. * * * Ous Hetllng has been playing a cautious game at third. Any time a player attempts to steal third, Ous pays particular attention In avoiding his spikes. He has been out of the game so much this season through Injuries that Ous probably figures it wise to avoid accidents during the remaining days of the season, and be in good shape for next year. * • * The Sacs finally landed in second place yesterday. Two successive wins over the Tigers gave them that position. Half a game separates the clubs. Roy Hltt was the victim of a slamming in yesterday's same at Sacramento.

The en try list received is considered the largest ever brought together for a track and field meet west of Chicago, with the ' exception of a national senior championship. There are so many entries that the contests should really be staged over two days, but with the various other sporting attractions, this Is Impos sible. The next best thing to be done is to hold the preliminaries In all events in the mornings, and this will leave nothing but the champions of the entrants to contest for the finals, which will begin at 2 o'clock. When the events start In the after noon the program will be run off on a set order, and the same order will be maintained In the morning with the various trial stunts in both the track and field events.

Ali matches will be played over 13 hole*. You See, If s This Way ED. W. SMITH BECAUSE a lot of thp fttcht fans believe that Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul star of the welter weight class, is the man without the punch, Mike is a bit miffed and wants to show, not by his record of knockouts, but by a long record of winning battles, that lt pays Just as well to have a rapid fire delivery of many punches that land as a single broadside that misses many, many more times than it gets home. In a word, Mike believes that his scheme of lighting, which is to land early and often on an opponent, is much better than that used by sluggers who have the single wallop and can not land lt on* round out of Aye. * * * BUT Mike doesn't admit that he hasn't got the punch. Some thing that' was said about Mike's battle with Eddie McOoorty In New York rather got on Mike's nerves aad he proceeded to ask If anybody Over had got an expres sion of opinion from McGoorty aa to what he thinks of the Gibbons punch. Mike claims that he landed several on the Oshkosh Irishman that were gems and that Bet the Wisconsin boy to thinking during their New York scrap. "There's a sting to these punches of mine, and I get them home often enough to make them count for a whole lot," Mike told me. "But, of course, Eddie never told anybody about that, although I know he was worried more than a little be fore we had come to the tenth round." * # * ACCORDING to Mike/a talk there la a "feel" about a punch aa tho glove la driven home. Into an opponent that Indi cates whethor or not lt has taken effect The owner of the glove that furrows up an antagonist's midsection or bounces oft his skull can tell instinctively whether or not the punch has taken the desired effect. The slob fighter haan't this instinct and is guided largely by the more or less hearty cheers of the crowd. Gibbons points out that time and again he has seen a fighter swing and swing and keep on swinging merely because he wa» goaded on by the wild cheer ing of tho crowd, although not one in ton of his blows may have even reached. WIXOERS bringing their off the floor usually get the applause because their wallops look like they were about to deal out the knockout drops," Mike Bays. "But these blows are not nearly as effective as the one straight left or sting Men's Shirts Now showing the best as sortment we have ever offered. All the good makes. Many beautiful novelties. $1.50 to $4.50 HASTINGS CLOTHING CO. Post and Grant Aye. Call's Eastern Fight Expert ing right hand cross that travels but a few Inches. Yet the clever man, landing a clever blow that Jars an opponent from scalp to heels. Is rewarded merely with a slight display of applause from the average follower of the game. It's a funny thing, but true, nevertheless, and I have long since ceased to marvel at It." * * # GIBBONS farther points out that he never tries to "knock 'em dead" In any of his fights, unless lt Is a case where he is compelled to slug with a man and has to slug his way out of the difficulty. That seldom hap pens, according to Mike, because he usually lands often enough early in the engagement to make his adversary look and feel mighty cheap toward the close. * * * JIM COFFROTTI, It appears, has been flirting with Gibbons about a match with Eddie McGoorty or Jimmy Clabby, the latter preferred, now that he has made such a hit out there. But Gibbons does not feel Inclined to go to the coast unless there is a good guarantee attached to the trip. "Winnipeg and several other places would like to book tho St. Paul star and a prosperous season Is In sight for him. Mike believes he will fairly wade through the welters and after he has dis posed of everybody worth while In that class he will take on some of the bigger men. * • •« ACCORDING to tho Idea* en tertained by the Minnesota man, the middle weight sit uation Just now lies between Eddie McGoorty and Jack Dillon of Indianapolis, and Mike thinks that a 20 round battle between them would about settle tho question.
