All worked out lightlv. The two new
talrlcrs made a itr'nl hit with th boss

weighing more than !' pounds. Temple
stands well over six feet. Thmish the

too fast, both will undoubtedly be reau

Kibble fits in perfectly to level out the
quartet trying for the one regular Job
at shortstop. (mo thing- certain the,
new shortstop is to be a areyhound for
speed.
Mathes is a tall, rather uncalnly but
determined chap of 20 years, lie played
short for Butte last season. He was
supposed to be one of the outfield can

he never had a garden Job. but played

SAN Kn.VNCISCO. March 8. tSpe
Clal.) Abe Attell lias been made a 10-to-
favorite In the poolrooms for to
morrow afternoon's 10-round bout with
"Harlem Tommy" Murphy.
This seems to indicate that the local
fight fans don't consider Abe to be a
"has-been" and aren't paying much at
tention to the decision rendered by Ref
eree Charlie K ton In favor of Johnny

speed he has won the confidence of his
friends. wh are willing to risk their
coin on his chances tomorrow after

Both boxers are as fit as a fiddle, and
the fans should witness a fast, scientific
battle. Attell will fight harder than

win back some of his prestige which he
lost because of his defeat bv and loss of

MITZE HAS SIGNED, ALSO
Bud Sharp Is Exceedingly Cheerful
as Result of Pay's Developments.
Fitzgerald Is Only Dissatis

LTVKRMORK, Cal.. March 8. (Spe
cial.) There is Joy in the uaks' train
ing camp today, and Manager Sharps
Is wearing a smile that will not come off.
Pitcher Gregory, expected to be one of
the leading pitchers of the Coast
League, who this season was branded
a "holdout." arrived on the noon train
and was in uniform this afternoon.
All difference have been adjusted to
the satisfaction of those concerned, and
Gregory says he is glad to be one of
the lighting Oaks again and hopes to
prut e hi in si-if a consistent winner.
Cxtr-her Mltze followed Gregory's ex
ample, mid his signed contract was re
ceived tod.iy. He is due here on the
llrst train In (raiorrov. Now that the
anxiety regarding this star battery is
over. Manager Sharpe and the Oakland
fans will breathe k sigh of relief. Out
fielder Kitsger;ild remains the only dis
satisfied one to be heard from.
Jimmy Frick iind Blain Purhln ar
rived on the lute train last nlgnt, look
ing fit and ready to get down to busi
ness. Frick played right field In the
game this afternoon, and handled him
self like a real ball player. The strain
of yesterday's strenuous workout was
a bit noticeable this morning, some of
the boys limping around when practice
first began.
The practice game this afternoon
with the Vannlgans was of the half
raising variety, and what looked like
certain - death for the regulars was
turned tnto a draw by a great hitting
streak in the ninth Inning which netted
Ihree runs and making th final score
6 alU
The players insisted on a finish, but
the wise manager called oft hostilities
for the day, promising to allow them
to fight it out again tomorrow after
noon. LONG SINGLING OCT HIS MEN'
Squad Will Be Divided Into Two
Teams for Sunday Games.
PASO ROBLKS. Cal., March 8 (Spe
cial.) Commander Panny Long is
singling out his ifien. Kven if catchers
and pitchers were not feeling equal to
the occasion, the master of ceremonies
has designated a team that will ac
company him to San Luis Obispo for a
Sunday practice struggle and another
aggregation that will make up the
"Htay-at-homes" with Kid Mohler at
their head for the Paso Robles bout.
Much to the disappointment of the
crowd of sightseers that was made up
of townspeople and hotel patrons and
even In the face of the desire of most
of the players to do something else
than the apparently aimiess prac.uct-.
there was no scrub game today. Kid
Mohler asked for It. but Long put his
foot down and said the first game of
that sort would have to be tomorrow
afternoon. His pitchers, said the man
ager, would be all the better for an
other day and his catching staff was
not large enough to give two back
stops to a team.
In spfte of that, the two workouts of
this forenoon and afternoon were the
best since the tem struck the Springs.
The weather was kind and without any
wind. The boys felt no discomforts.
The new outfielders have not been
in the harness enough to give an idea
of what they will do on their respective
positions. This afternoon they took a
turn at' nailing the long flies but Long
was more intent watching me ncia oe-
partment, which promise to give hum
so much trouble In making his selec
tions. The pitchers, several of whom are
complaining slightly of sore arms,
were given considerable of a let up in
view of the games they will have to
toss on Sunday and although they did
some pitching to the batters. they
were warned time ana m-.
when they thought they had enough.
There will be no Sunday morning
practice, because of the afternoon
games.

Forty-seven men were on the field at

SAN DIEGO, Cal.. March 8. In what
proved by far the most exciting con

feated the crack Canadian team today

times, G. H. Noton added two points to

Yannijrans, 6 to 2.
MARYSVILLE, Cal., March 8. (Spe
cial.) Graham's Sacramento aggrega
tion of balltossers was increased by an
other player today, when Pitcher
Holmes arrived from the Northwest.
This nearly completes the list of play
ers from whom the Senators for 1912
are to be chosen.
It was cloudy, but there was no rain
today, and almost the entire time was
spent by the players at the new ball
grounds. The regulars and the Yanni
gans had their second contest this af
ternoon, which was witnessed by a
crowd that filled the grandstand.
The score was 6 to 2, in favor of the
regulars.
The feature of today's playing was
the pitching of the many youngsters
whom O'Kourkc has on his start" and the
batting of the regulars, which showed
that they have not lost their batting
eye during the Winter season.
Pitcher Holmes did not don, his uni
form today, but will be out on the Held
tomorrow for practice while the regu
lars are In Sacramento. O'Rourke is
more than pleased with his men and the
showing they are making. In conver
sation with several newspaper men to
day he stated that he could see noth
ing but pennant for his squad this sea
son. The regujars will leave In the morn
ing for Sacramento, where they will
play Saturday and Sunday with the St.
Mary's College team.

The target is set up, the funnel is

George W. Wilson was master of

years ago. He also told in detail some
of the events of the first victory the
