HERALD SPORTING PAGE Baseball, Racing, Boxing Amateur Sports, Athletics MEMSIC AND POWELL RESUME WORK AFTER LAYOFF OF NEARLY A WEEK Bohemian Gives Himself Severe Tryout Test by Doing Long Road Runs Both Morning and Afternoon and After He Pulled Up Fresh and Sound He Decided to Begin Regular Routine Stunts To- day-Frisco Boy Started Again Yesterday—Frank Con- ley Refuses to Drop to Pork-and-Bean Class by Tak- ing on McGovern on Straight Percentage Basis JAY DAVIDSON GEORGE MEMSIC got down to hard work again yesterday, after lay- ing off for several days in consequence of a strained nyiscle in his right log, and after doing two turns on the road, both morning and afternoon, and pulling up fresh nnd sound, he announced that he would re- Hiimp thp rPB-nlnr routine, including boxinir in the nfternoon. today. It was the signal for all others who will be starred on the Vernon card May 21 to get busy nnd they did. so. Powell resumed training in his quarters at Venice and Dick Allen nnd Jim Cameron fell in line with a resumption of their work, all hands expressing themselves as feeling benefited, rather than hindered, by the enforced idleness of a few days. Memslc has ten days before him In which to round into form and as he had attained good condition before knocking off work last Saturday, he cays he has no fears whatever regard ing his condition the day of the fight and is confident that he will be able to win a decisive victory over the Fisco lightweight and thereby earn the right to fight Ad Wolgast for the lightweight championship in June. He is so near to the required weight, which will be 135 pounds at 11 o'clock the morning preceding the afternoon battle, that he will not have to do much work to get down to the required notch. He does not seem to be any the worse for having broken training and aside from the disappointment occasioned by the post- ponement of the date there seems nothing to Justify any apprehension that the fight will not be fully up to the usual expectations of the fans. Dick Allen, the big heavyweight who is to get another real tryout May 21 when ho takes on Jim Cameron over the twenty-round route, is plug- ging away eteadlly out at Doyle's and is getting into first class condi- tion. Allen realizes that he is goln g after a tough proposition and that his friends are expecting him to win in a decisive manner, which adds to his great desire to win by the knockout route. If he can trim Cameron in short order he will be sent after still harder game and shoved up the ladder just ns fast as he can t ravel. Cameror knows this is a case of win or lose out for the futu re and the freak negro is not losing nny time during the training period. With a full corps of helpers, he is hitting up a stiff pace and really is showing much improvement In his workouts, as he Is finding out how to use his hands and the natural phy- sical advantages he possesses. Nothing came nf the conference y esterday between Joe Conley, man- ager of Frankle Conley, the bantam champion, and Tom McCarey, regard- ing- the proposed twenty-five round scrap with Gene McGovern that was pro- posed as a substitute for the Conley-Moore fight that was called off when Moore ran out on McCarey. The Conl oys want to Yip shown pome real money, instead of glittering- prospects, and will not fight unless they can be convinced that it will be worth while. They do not believe that McGovern would be a drawing card and Conley says that inasmuch ns he has had a tough fight to get to the top he hard ly believes it is up to him to fight for pork-and-beans money. He undoubtedly is right in this regard and cannot be reasonably censured fur asking for something of a tangible nature be- fore signing articles to fight McGovern. If the latter ever had done any- Ihing to justify him in asking for a match with Conley, or to interest the fans in such a match, it would be different, but aside from knocking out Billy Cappelle, a fourth-rater at best, he has nothing to force the fans to become interested in him excepr ns a good preliminary attraction, Contey, as champion, wants to fight all the boys in his division whom the fans think have a chance to wrest his laurels from him. Such boys as Johnny Coulon, Pal Moore. Patsy Brannignn, Jem Kendrick, Digger Stan- ley and Jimmy Walsh are good drawing cards here and elsewhere and rank as near-champions and dangerous opponents of the champion. They can be had without much trouble or expense and the fans want to see some class spread before them before they will walk up to the box office with their two, three, five and ten spots for admission tickets. With such a host of good fighters available, it is hardly fair to ask Conley tn waste his time with boys of the class and prominence, or lack of both, ns Mc- Govern. Danny Webster would be a far better drawing card, despite that Conley has trimmed him twice, ns the boys never have met over a long distance. Danny is popular here and always will have a strong following among the fans. Giving guarantees to fighters, as a rule, is bad business, but a promoter can avoid the necessity for this by arranging matches that are recognized as good drawing cards, where there would be no question regarding the re- ceipts and where the fighter can w.el] afford to take an equal risk with the club regarding the money end nf the bargain. it is understood that Conley asked for a $1260 guarantee to fight McGovern. McGovern is so anxious to fight Conley that he would take most any old money to get the chance. If the house runs $3500 or $4 000, which is the outside limit, the guarantee asked for is not unreasonable, as Conley, and not McGovern would be the attraction. The fans want to see Conley in action because his style, with his effectiveness, is pleasing and because he is the undisputed champion. While there is little class and no near-championship involved the fight tonight at San Diego between Young Rivers and Red Corbett Is proving to be of some interest locally, especially among thrse who keep tab on fights and fighters. King Hogan has taken charge of Rivers and the Old head thinks he has a comer on his hands. Corbett never was a fighter and never will be unless he shows a remarkable form reversal, so it looks like Rivera should make short work of him. Prankle Conlcy left yesterday afternoon to referee the scrap and there will be quite a good attendance from Los Angeles, as several left yesterday for the bay city and others are going today.

The Weatgatel are planning on hav- ing a baseball park of real class within a few m^lis, and fans in that section are beginning to look lively and notice what's doing on the southern diamond*. Local amateur baseball followers are figuring on the poslbllitles of a hookup between the Whittier ana Glendale teams In the near future.

ANGELS LOSE BY RAGGED PLAYING Misplays at Critical Stages Prac- tically Give Game to Beavers Inability to hit the ball at the right time alone is responsible for the second defeat this week of the Angel band by the Beaver squad. The score of the game yesterday was 6 to 3 and the Beavers were on the long end of it, where they had no right to be. Delhi pitched good ball all the way and re- ceived rotten support throughout the same period, both at bat and in the field. Gregg was hit hard, but kept the blngles scattered.. so well that when it lookAd liV*» a slinivpr of runs thprp was nothing doing. Jess Orendorff, who made an at- tempt to break out of baseball and into journalism a tew days ago, felt the effects of his nerve-racking experi- ment, evidently, as he was the chief offender on the Angelic side of the house, letting in two runs that should never have been counted. Delmas also contributed one and Delhi cannot es- cape criticism for at least one of them. All the Angels, except the out- fielders, seemed to have their troubles when it came to handling apparently easy chances and before the third inning was ended It looked like the whole team had gone to pieces. Los Angeles started oft! in the lead In the first inning, when one run was produced. Daley walked, Ross hit to third and Hetling threw wild to first, both runners being safe. Howard forced Ross at second and Cap Dillon squeezed Daley across the plate with a pretty bunt down the first base line. Howard had an hour and a half to get from second to third on the play but was easily caught stealing. Portland put over a pair in the third and took the lead for a moment. Rapps singled to left. Speas bunted to Delhi, who got excited and threw the ball to the bleachers. Howard was on the job back of Dillon and quickly fielded the ball, but not before Rapps had gone to third. Gregg sacrificed and Casey tore off a single to right, scoring Rapps and Speas. In their half, the Angels tied the score on a most freakish bit «£ playing by the Beaver fielders. Oren- dorff flew to left and Delhi hit infield. He overran first and Casey ran in and held him when Hetling threw the ball to the bleachers. Ump Finney saw this business and ordered Delhi to amble clown to second. Fisher deliberately threw the ball to left field and Delhi went to third. Olson fielded the ball and threw it to the grandstand and Delhi kept on walking until he got home. In the next inning the Angels again took the lead by the margin of one vote. Dillon was safe at first when Gregg played tag with his bunt. Mur- phy sacrificed and Roth doubled to center, sending Cap over the plate Delmas fouled to Rapps and Orendorff flew to right. This was the last score registered by the Angels. . Portland got busy in the fifth and again tied the score. Rapps was safe when Delmas threw too low to first, tha ball going to the bleachers and Rapps to second. He should have been an easy out, but turned into the tieing run. Speas was out, Delhi to Dillon, and then Gregg got his only hit of the game, a double to right, scoring Rapps. Casey flew to right and Gregg refused to go back to second, waiting for Delhi to catch the throw and tag him out be- tween bases. In the sixth. Portland took the lead that they never after lost. Both runs scored by the Beavers in this inning were absolute gifts. Olson drew free transportation anil Hetling sacrificed McCredle singled to center and Daley made a perfect return to Orendorff, who failed to touch Olson as he slid for the plate, although Jess had plenty of time to make the out had he not been thinking about his next signed baseball story. Fisher was out to Dil- lon unassisted, and then Orendorff still studying about his journalistic prospects, no doubt, let the ball pass him and go to the grandstand, Me. Credle scoring in a walk from third. In tlirir half of the sixth the An- Kels filled the bases but could not a runner. Dillon singled to left. Murphy fouled to Rapps. Roth popped to Casey and Dillon stayed on first. Caeey purposely dropped'the ball and then threw it to second, retiring Dil- lon just for fun. Delmas singled in- fleld and Orendorff filled the bases with another infield poke. Delhi tried to win bis own game, but Olson got in the way of his smash and fielded It to first In time to stop anything that loi ked lik<^ a rally. JuM to make sure of another victory, the Bi avers scored Bgi In In tin eighth. Olson got another on balls and Hetling sacrificed. McCredie was safe when Howard fumbled his grounder, and Olson scored. I Hen Berry nays that there are five j more games yet to be played before : the (pries ends and thai the fans may j expect the Angels to take at least : four of them. Tien says it is all for- tunes of the game, and not hard luck or lack of class or anything else that might be wrong with the team. Following is the tabulated score of the game! i LOS ANGELES !

Rialto Gossip CHARLES EYTON, the very capable referee for the local fight club and regarded as one of the pos- sibilities when it comes to the selec- tion of the, referee, for the Jeffries- Johnson scrap, has gone to Frisco on a pleasure trip, being his first vacation in a long time. Charlie is well known In the northern city, especially among the sporting people, and while his trip has no connection with the referee question, it is probable that his pres- ence ther.' will not do his chances any harm. Jeff and Berger are very friendly to him and prefer him to near- ly any other man named so far. John- son is against him because he comes from Jeff's home town. It would be gratifying news, Indeed, if it should be Hashed over the wires that the local man had been selected as the compromise candidate and end the wrangling. Both fighters, as well as the public, would be assured of a strictly fair deal in all things with mm as mini man In tns, r;r.gr. Women folk should not overlook the fact that they are invited to attend the baseball games every day except Saturday, Sundays and holidays, with- out cost to them. Hen Berry believes their presence adds to the charm of the surroundings and helps to popularize the sport. The women are not turning out as much as was expected, yet large numbers of them are to be seen in the grandstand at every game. Detroit Is steadily losing ground in the Vmerlcan le-TgMe pennant chase while New York is climbing fast. In the National, Pittsburg has broken it-= long winning streak by dropping two Rtraights to the Dodgers, and Cincin- nati is going towards the top like a comet. Every day brings some shift- in^ in position?, and both races look like a pretty affair all season. Walter House, crabber and about the most disliked owner of a race horse In America, won the Corona stakes at •Uiue luot yesterday with Norbitt. which broke its maiden at Santa Anita park the list winter of racing here. Nor- bitt has turned out to be quite a race horse, having won several good races last year, and in good company and fast time. Ben Jacobson, Blondy Jewell and sev- eral others will leave early this morn- ing for an auto trip to San Diego to attend the Young Rivers-Red Corbett fight there tonight. They will make the return trip after the fight tonight, but not by the light of the silvery moon, as there will be none. Joe Levy, manager of Morrie Bloom, has taken the management of Danny Webster, and If experience and a level head count for anything, Danny should be the winner by the deal. Levy ia popular among sportsmen generally be- cause he attends to his own business and at all times ia all that goes to make up a thoroughbred. The deal should prove profitable to both, and here's hoping it does. Aqueduct closed yesterday nnd the Belrnont park meeting opens today with the Metropolitan handicap as the feature event of the card. In the Met- ropolitan will be several horses that once were prime favorites with the. local race-going public during the Snn- ta Anita meetings. Fitzherhert, for which John E. Madden recently paid Sam Hildreth $40,000, will carry top weigh! at 130 pounds. King James is a pound lighter, Restlgouche has 119, Prince Ahmed 114, Rocky O'Brien \K, Magazine 102, Far West 100 and Jack Atkin U!'. Owing to the lack of definite form of some of these old Smln Anita slats, on.' of Which surely will win the big- race. the event looks like a most open proposition. Cyclone Johnny Thompson knocked out his Old Bide kick, Pete Sullivan, in the ninth round last night at Salmir beach, a few mile.* outside fli.' limits of f Salt Lake city, when the larder needs replenishing Cyclone and Pete make a match and usually lind gome promoter in the Weeds who will stage the tight. Johnny Coulon outfought Phil .Mr- Govern last night in New York In a ten-round fight that Is pictured as slashing. Coulon claims the bantam title by some freakish sort of figuring, yet he refuses to tackle Frankle Con- ley, the recognized holder of the title. A scrap betwen this pair would fill the Vernon arena overflowing and would be the best money getter of the year, bariing the Jeffries-Johnson fight. It would be the real goods, too. as both boys are classy ring generalsvaml stub- born lighters. Adolph Becker, proprietor of cafes in Los Angeles and San Francisco, came down on the Owl yesterday morning to take a look over his two places here. He willput in a few dayi on business and pleasure and then return to the northern metropolis. Fred Kruger and Billy Johnson are local managers for the Becker syndicate, and Adolph found each in prosperous condition. Adolph is preparing to bet the syndicate hoi !- ings on Jeff to win July 4. There was much joy in Vernon last night when the news came that the Villagers had resumed their winning ways and were about to break over into first place. If the Angels trim the Reavers tuday and Vernon wins from Sacramento, the Village Cutups will be in first place. And how they will fight to stay there! If they come back in first place the bunch is going to snow them a hot time on their arrival at the Arcade station. VILLAGERS BACK IN THE PENNANT RACE Defeat Sacramento 4 to 2 Owing to Effective Twirling and Timely Batting f \rRASIENTO, May 12.—Hitt and Whalen, both hot weather pitchers, opposed one another this afternoon, Hitt having the better of the argu- ment, Vernon winning 4 to 2.

" BODY OF GREAT HARNESS HORSE TO BE PRESERVED Direction, 2:05<4, although' dead, has just made a new world's record. The "Black Demon," as the famous stallion was known on the country's race courses, was In a class . by himself when alive, and his owner has made him unique in death by having his body mounted. He will still occupy a prominent place at his home on M. W. Savage's breeding farm near Minneapolis. As a race horse, Directum always was great. His name is written large in turf annals. For years he held the world's four-year-old trotting record, and as a sire he has left his impress upon the harness horse world. Directum died last November. Sav- age mourned his loss and determined to give further generations of breeders and bom enthusiasts a chance to see and study the stallion as he was in life. He turned the body over to a Minne- apolis taxidermist.

CANDIDATES HAVE TALK WITH NEGRO Jack Welsh and Eddie Smith Al- ternate in Private Confer- ences with Johnson DINGE STILL STANDING PAT Rickard Fears Deadlock Will Con- tinue Until Broken by Pro- t moters Monday [Associated Tress] SAIn KRArJCISCG, M.i> 12.- —TuCrc ;.- apparently as much interest being taken at the Johnson camp these days In the widely discussed topic of who is to be the referee as Is given to the preliminary training of the negro. .lack Welsh, who Is Johnson's first choice for the position, and Tex Rick- ard both had audiences with the fighter this afternoon, while yesterday it was Eddie Smith of Oakland who was clos- eted with the colored fighter. Rickard is admittedly iff raid that there still will be a deadlock after the conference that Is to take place next Monday, and he wants to smooth out the diffi- culties if it lies within his power. Johnson had but little to say after the conference. "I am still standing pat," he . de- clared. "I maintain that 1 have named two good men who have the confidence of the public of California, and one of them should be satisfactory." Jack Welsh made a statement in which he declared that he would not accept the position unless he was satis- factory to both principals. '"In other words," he explained more at length, "supposing that the fighters could not agree and the promoters might choose me. I would not accept if either fight- er disagreed." Qeorge Little, Johnson's manager, gaya he believe! they will reach mi agreement and that a California man will lie selei tod. That there Is an uneasiness among: the men concerned an to \vh:it result the stopping of the Thomas-Papke fipht may have on the hip: bout was manifested in the conversation at the beach this afternoon. The fear is tha those who are opposed to the finht wl engage lawyers and seek measures t prevent the mill taking place. "Jt it mines to the worst," said Rick anl. who will not arimit that the anti tight element lias any chance, "we ca pull the fight off in Nevada." Johnson added a couple of miles t his road work this morning, Koin fourteen mill s Instead of twelve. In addition he stepped it off at a taste clip, running' for a pood share of th journey. In consequence he was bac at hia quarters somewhat In advam of the remainder of the crowd. Marty Cutler trailing in thoroughly ex- hausted. The nop;ro was persplrinsr freely ns he returned and declared that he felt in the best possible con- dition. His plans for tho first boxing- on Pat- | urday have practically been completed. ; He intends to work six rounds with j George Cotton. Marty Cutler and Dave Mills. Although there has been a deal ' of talk of using other sparring part- ners, Jack said today that he thought he had enough helpers. Late this afternoon he played base- ball on the ocean boulevard in front i f his camp, and there were a hundred or j more fashionable equipages, including I many automobiles, drawn up to watch j him batting out long flies. The women, | particularly, were interested in seeing Johnson at his play.

MEMSIC AND POWELL RESUME WORKAFTER LAYOFF OF NEARLY A WEEK

Bohemian Gives Himself Severe Tryout Test by Doing Long RoadRuns Both Morning and Afternoon and After He Pulled Up Fresh

and Sound He Decided to Begin Regular Routine Stunts To-day-Frisco Boy Started Again Yesterday—Frank Con-

ley Refuses to Drop to Pork-and-Bean Class by Tak-ing on McGovern on Straight Percentage Basis

JAY DAVIDSON

GEORGE MEMSIC got down to hard work again yesterday, after lay-

ing off for several days in consequence of a strained nyiscle in hisright log, and after doing two turns on the road, both morning and

afternoon, and pulling up fresh nnd sound, he announced that he would re-Hiimp thp rPB-nlnr routine, including boxinir in the nfternoon. today. It was

the signal for all others who will be starred on the Vernon card May 21to get busy nnd they did. so. Powell resumed training in his quarters atVenice and Dick Allen nnd Jim Cameron fell in line with a resumption oftheir work, all hands expressing themselves as feeling benefited, ratherthan hindered, by the enforced idleness of a few days.

Memslc has ten days before him In which to round into form and ashe had attained good condition before knocking off work last Saturday, hecays he has no fears whatever regard ing his condition the day of the fightand is confident that he will be able to win a decisive victory over

the Fisco lightweight and thereby earn the right to fight Ad Wolgast forthe lightweight championship in June. He is so near to the requiredweight, which will be 135 pounds at 11 o'clock the morning preceding theafternoon battle, that he will not have to do much work to get down to

the required notch. He does not seem to be any the worse for havingbroken training and aside from the disappointment occasioned by the post-ponement of the date there seems nothing to Justify any apprehension thatthe fight will not be fully up to the usual expectations of the fans.

Dick Allen, the big heavyweight who is to get another real tryout May

21 when ho takes on Jim Cameron over the twenty-round route, is plug-ging away eteadlly out at Doyle's and is getting into first class condi-tion. Allen realizes that he is goln g after a tough proposition and thathis friends are expecting him to win in a decisive manner, which addsto his great desire to win by the knockout route. Ifhe can trim Cameronin short order he will be sent after still harder game and shoved up theladder just ns fast as he can t ravel. Cameror knows this is acase of win or lose out for the futu re and the freak negro is not losingnny time during the training period. With a full corps of helpers, he ishitting up a stiff pace and really is showing much improvement In hisworkouts, as he Is finding out how to use his hands and the natural phy-sical advantages he possesses.

Nothing came nf the conference yesterday between Joe Conley, man-ager of Frankle Conley, the bantam champion, and Tom McCarey, regard-ing- the proposed twenty-five round scrap with Gene McGovern that was pro-posed as a substitute for the Conley-Moore fight that was called off whenMoore ran out on McCarey. The Conl oys want to Yip shown pome realmoney, instead of glittering- prospects, and will not fight unless they can beconvinced that it will be worth while. They do not believe that McGovernwould be a drawing card and Conley says that inasmuch ns he has had atough fight to get to the top he hard ly believes it is up to him to fight forpork-and-beans money. He undoubtedly is right in this regard and cannotbe reasonably censured fur asking for something of a tangible nature be-fore signing articles to fight McGovern. If the latter ever had done any-Ihing to justify him in asking for a match with Conley, or to interest thefans in such a match, it would be different, but aside from knocking outBilly Cappelle, a fourth-rater at best, he has nothing to force the fans tobecome interested in him excepr ns a good preliminary attraction,

Contey, as champion, wants to fight all the boys in his division whomthe fans think have a chance to wrest his laurels from him. Such boys

as Johnny Coulon, Pal Moore. Patsy Brannignn, Jem Kendrick, Digger Stan-ley and Jimmy Walsh are good drawing cards here and elsewhere andrank as near-champions and dangerous opponents of the champion. Theycan be had without much trouble or expense and the fans want to see someclass spread before them before they will walk up to the box office withtheir two, three, five and ten spots for admission tickets. With such ahost of good fighters available, it is hardly fair to ask Conley tn wastehis time with boys of the class and prominence, or lack of both, ns Mc-Govern. Danny Webster would be a far better drawing card, despite thatConley has trimmed him twice, ns the boys never have met over a longdistance. Danny is popular here and always will have a strong followingamong the fans.

Giving guarantees to fighters, as a rule, is bad business, but a promotercan avoid the necessity for this by arranging matches that are recognizedas good drawing cards, where there would be no question regarding the re-ceipts and where the fighter can w.el] afford to take an equal risk with theclub regarding the money end nf the bargain. it is understood thatConley asked for a $1260 guarantee to fight McGovern. McGovern is soanxious to fight Conley that he would take most any old money to get thechance. If the house runs $3500 or $4 000, which is the outside limit, theguarantee asked for is not unreasonable, as Conley, and not McGovernwould be the attraction. The fans want to see Conley in action because hisstyle, with his effectiveness, is pleasing and because he is the undisputedchampion.

While there is little class and no near-championship involved the fighttonight at San Diego between Young Rivers and Red Corbett Is provingto be of some interest locally, especially among thrse who keep tab onfights and fighters. King Hogan has taken charge of Rivers and the Oldhead thinks he has a comer on his hands. Corbett never was a fighterand never will be unless he shows a remarkable form reversal, so it lookslike Rivera should make short work of him. Prankle Conlcy left yesterdayafternoon to referee the scrap and there will be quite a good attendancefrom Los Angeles, as several left yesterday for the bay city and othersare going today.

ANGELS LOSE BYRAGGED PLAYING

Misplays at Critical Stages Prac-tically Give Game to

Beavers

Inability to hit the ball at the righttime alone is responsible for the seconddefeat this week of the Angel band by

the Beaver squad. The score of thegame yesterday was 6 to 3 and theBeavers were on the long end of it,where they had no right to be. Delhipitched good ball all the way and re-ceived rotten support throughout thesame period, both at bat and in thefield. Gregg was hit hard, but keptthe blngles scattered.. so well that whenit lookAd liV*» a slinivpr of runs thprp

was nothing doing.Jess Orendorff, who made an at-

tempt to break out of baseball andinto journalism a tew days ago, feltthe effects of his nerve-racking experi-ment, evidently, as he was the chiefoffender on the Angelic side of thehouse, letting in two runs that shouldnever have been counted. Delmas alsocontributed one and Delhi cannot es-cape criticism for at least one ofthem. All the Angels, except the out-fielders, seemed to have their troubleswhen it came to handling apparentlyeasy chances and before the thirdinning was ended It looked like thewhole team had gone to pieces.

Los Angeles started oft! in the leadIn the first inning, when one run wasproduced. Daley walked, Ross hit tothird and Hetling threw wild to first,both runners being safe. Howardforced Ross at second and Cap Dillonsqueezed Daley across the plate witha pretty bunt down the first base line.Howard had an hour and a half to getfrom second to third on the play butwas easily caught stealing.

Portland put over a pair in the thirdand took the lead for a moment. Rappssingled to left. Speas bunted to Delhi,who got excited and threw the ball tothe bleachers. Howard was on the jobback of Dillon and quickly fielded theball, but not before Rapps had gone tothird. Gregg sacrificed and Casey toreoff a single to right, scoring Rapps andSpeas. In their half, the Angels tiedthe score on a most freakish bit «£playing by the Beaver fielders. Oren-dorff flew to left and Delhi hit infield.He overran first and Casey ran in andheld him when Hetling threw the ballto the bleachers. Ump Finney saw thisbusiness and ordered Delhi to ambleclown to second. Fisher deliberatelythrew the ball to left field and Delhiwent to third. Olson fielded the balland threw it to the grandstand andDelhi kept on walking until he gothome. In the next inning the Angelsagain took the lead by the margin ofone vote. Dillon was safe at first whenGregg played tag with his bunt. Mur-phy sacrificed and Roth doubled tocenter, sending Cap over the plateDelmas fouled to Rapps and Orendorffflew to right. This was the last scoreregistered by the Angels.. Portland got busy in the fifth andagain tied the score. Rapps was safewhen Delmas threw too low to first,tha ball going to the bleachers andRapps to second. He should have beenan easy out, but turned into the tieingrun. Speas was out, Delhi to Dillon,and then Gregg got his only hit of thegame, a double to right, scoring Rapps.Casey flew to right and Gregg refusedto go back to second, waiting for Delhito catch the throw and tag him out be-tween bases.

In the sixth. Portland took the leadthat they never after lost. Both runsscored by the Beavers in this inningwere absolute gifts. Olson drew freetransportation anil Hetling sacrificedMcCredle singled to center and Daleymade a perfect return to Orendorff,who failed to touch Olson as he slidfor the plate, although Jess had plentyof time to make the out had he notbeen thinking about his next signedbaseball story. Fisher was out to Dil-lon unassisted, and then Orendorffstill studying about his journalisticprospects, no doubt, let the ball passhim and go to the grandstand, Me.Credle scoring in a walk from third.

In tlirir half of the sixth the An-Kels filled the bases but could not

a runner. Dillon singled to left.Murphy fouled to Rapps. Roth poppedto Casey and Dillon stayed on first.Caeey purposely dropped'the ball andthen threw it to second, retiring Dil-lon just for fun. Delmas singled in-fleld and Orendorff filled the baseswith another infield poke. Delhi triedto win bis own game, but Olson got inthe way of his smash and fielded Itto first In time to stop anything thatloi ked lik<^ a rally. JuM to make sureof another victory, the Bi avers scoredBgi In In tin eighth. Olson got another

on balls and Hetling sacrificed.McCredie was safe when Howardfumbled his grounder, and Olsonscored.

I Hen Berry nays that there are fivej more games yet to be played before

: the (pries ends and thai the fans mayj expect the Angels to take at least: four of them. Tien says it is all for-tunes of the game, and not hard luckor lack of class or anything else thatmight be wrong with the team.

EYTON, the very capablereferee for the local fight cluband regarded as one of the pos-

sibilities when it comes to the selec-tion of the, referee, for the Jeffries-Johnson scrap, has gone to Frisco ona pleasure trip, being his first vacationin a long time. Charlie is well knownIn the northern city, especially amongthe sporting people, and while his triphas no connection with the refereequestion, it is probable that his pres-ence ther.' will not do his chances any

harm. Jeff and Berger are veryfriendly to him and prefer him to near-ly any other man named so far. John-son is against him because he comes

from Jeff's home town. It would begratifying news, Indeed, if it shouldbe Hashed over the wires that thelocal man had been selected as thecompromise candidate and end thewrangling. Both fighters, as well asthe public, would be assured of astrictly fair deal in all things withmm as mini man In tns, r;r.gr.

Women folk should not overlook thefact that they are invited to attendthe baseball games every day except

Saturday, Sundays and holidays, with-out cost to them. Hen Berry believestheir presence adds to the charm of thesurroundings and helps to popularizethe sport. The women are not turning

out as much as was expected, yetlarge numbers of them are to be seen

in the grandstand at every game.

Detroit Is steadily losing ground inthe Vmerlcan le-TgMe pennant chasewhile New York is climbing fast. Inthe National, Pittsburg has broken it-=long winning streak by dropping two

BODY OF GREAT HARNESSHORSE TO BE PRESERVED

Direction, 2:05<4, although' dead, hasjust made a new world's record. The"Black Demon," as the famous stallionwas known on the country's racecourses, was In a class . by himselfwhen alive, and his owner has madehim unique in death by having hisbody mounted. He will still occupya prominent place at his home onM. W. Savage's breeding farm nearMinneapolis.

As a race horse, Directum always

was great. His name is written large

in turf annals. For years he held theworld's four-year-old trotting record,and as a sire he has left his impressupon the harness horse world.

Directum died last November. Sav-age mourned his loss and determinedto give further generations of breedersand bom enthusiasts a chance to seeand study the stallion as he was in life.He turned the body over to a Minne-apolis taxidermist. It was an experi-ment, but it has proved very success-ful, and may become a precedent forother owners of great Horses.

apparently as much interest beingtaken at the Johnson camp these daysIn the widely discussed topic of whois to be the referee as Is given to thepreliminary training of the negro..lack Welsh, who Is Johnson's firstchoice for the position, and Tex Rick-ard both had audiences with the fighterthis afternoon, while yesterday it wasEddie Smith of Oakland who was clos-eted with the colored fighter. Rickardis admittedly iffraid that there stillwill be a deadlock after the conferencethat Is to take place next Monday,and he wants to smooth out the diffi-culties if it lies within his power.Johnson had but little to say after theconference.

"I am still standing pat," he . de-clared. "Imaintain that 1 have namedtwo good men who have the confidenceof the public of California, and oneof them should be satisfactory."

Jack Welsh made a statement inwhich he declared that he would notaccept the position unless he was satis-factory to both principals. '"In otherwords," he explained more at length,"supposing that the fighters could notagree and the promoters might chooseme. I would not accept if either fight-er disagreed."

Qeorge Little, Johnson's manager,gaya he believe! they will reach mi

agreement and that a California manwill lie selei tod.

That there Is an uneasiness among:the men concerned an to \vh:it resultthe stopping of the Thomas-Papkefipht may have on the hip: bout wasmanifested in the conversation at thebeach this afternoon. The fear is thathose who are opposed to the finht wlengage lawyers and seek measures tprevent the mill taking place.

"Jt it mines to the worst," said Rickanl. who will not arimit that the antitight element lias any chance, "we capull the fight off in Nevada."

Johnson added a couple of miles this road work this morning, Koinfourteen mill s Instead of twelve. Inaddition he stepped it off at a tasteclip, running' for a pood share of thjourney. In consequence he was bacat hia quarters somewhat In advamof the remainder of the crowd. Marty

Cutler trailing in thoroughly ex-hausted. The nop;ro was persplrinsrfreely ns he returned and declaredthat he felt in the best possible con-dition.

His plans for tho first boxing- on Pat- |urday have practically been completed. ;

He intends to work six rounds with jGeorge Cotton. Marty Cutler and DaveMills. Although there has been a deal 'of talk of using other sparring part-ners, Jack said today that he thoughthe had enough helpers.

Late this afternoon he played base-ball on the ocean boulevard in front i fhis camp, and there were a hundred or jmore fashionable equipages, including Imany automobiles, drawn up to watch jhim batting out long flies. The women, |particularly, were interested in seeingJohnson at his play.
