San Fran cisco and Los Angeles split even on a double-header here today, the Seals taking the morning game, 8 to 4, and the Angels the other, 2 to 0. The first game was a weird affair in which Fan ning stalled until the Seals got into the lead with four runs in the ninth.

(Special.) The big show is over, the fighters have been paJd off, the promoter has cleaned lip a nice little piece of change, the crowd has departed well satisfied with the entertainment considering the price, and everybody is happy exce.pt the critics. ! The experts were doomed in advance 1 to hold the bag, and they are grasping it firmly with both hands. Ten-round no-decision boxing bouts were invented by the man who has a grudge against unanimous opinion on any subject. Packey McFarland and Gibbons made the author of the ancient query, "How Old Is Ann?" turn over in his grave. Pre as Facilities Poor. Tn the first place the press facilities were the worst ever offered at a fight. The writer maneuvered to get a front row seat and saw the fight. There fore we say McFarland won. Some of our most distinguished fight writers were a long way f:om the ring side, and had to take it, out in guessing. It they saw one out of three of the blows delivered or blocked, they are blessed with exceptional eyesight. As St happened most of the bout consisted of in-fighting and was invisible to a liuae majority of the spectators. One enterprising journal had three critics on hand to cover the fight. One was a professional promoter; the other nvas a mere newspaper man, and the third was a fight manager. No 1 .warded the battle to Gibbons, No. 2 called it a draw, and No. 3 said it was McFarland all the way, and there jrou are. Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away some of the inside stuff connected therewith is beginning to work its way out, as inside stuff usual ly does. For several days preceding the bout there was an air of secrecy about the Gibbons camp. The most ' ji renounced reticence was on the sub ject of weight. Gibbons waaehy of the eon les. Today Walter St. Denis, sporting edi tor of the Globe, and one of the pro moters of the fight and, next to Tom flihhnna Via Hoc t i-n f r r-ttn in it n in n iXT TI concerning Mike's affairs, sat down and Jet some facts out of his system that liad not been known previously. "Mike took two workouts on the road Friday," he said. "The first was in . the morning and was a public mat ter. The second was a secret affair . -which took place in the afternoon. "When Gibbons returned from his morning run he weighed in at 147. or a half pound overweight. He was worried and so were all of us. Noth ing was said about it, but it lookei se. rious. The weight of 147 pounds had to be made by 3 P. M. Saturday and ,lklike was hungry. "o Gibbons decided to take to the road again in the afternoon and the newspaper men were stalled off while he took a second run. When he re turned he was a pound under weight. lie broke down and cried after he weighed in. "Mike was nervous and in uncertain humor Saturday morning. I know you and several other observers figured he was under weight because he looked drawn too fine, but Mike was not traveling on any safe margin and he knew it and it bothered him." That about tells the etory. The strain of making weight told on Mike harder than it did on Packey. who was accustomed to it. Mike never made weight for fight before and X doubt if he will ever consent to it again, His condition when he went into the ring was not what it should have been - and he was far off his stride in every feature of his work. gels' run, which came in that inning. The tally was made without a hit on a pass. Downs' boot and a sacrifice fly. The other run came in the sixth on a single by McMullen and Koerner's double. The Seals took the series, 5 to 3.

With the score 5 to 2 in the eighth inning, two runners on bases and none out, Jim Robertson, second baseman of the Roslyn Moose team, was hit above the temple by Pitcher B. Curry. of the Cle Elum team, at Cle Elum this afternoon. He fell as though killed and all efforts of the numerous first-aid men on the field failed to revive him. He was then rushed to the Roslyn Cle Elum Beneficial Company's hos pital, near Cle Elum, where for nearly two hours he lay in a state of coma from which he finally recovered, after heroic efforts on the part of the surgeon3. After 'regaining consciousness he was apparently making a rapid recovery. The accident ended the game, the en tire crowd following the injured man to the hospital. It was the last game of the season and each team had a previous victory to its credit. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Although scores on both sides smacked of the good old Civil War joke out in '61 and back in '65 Wa- verley Country Club's superiority on the golf links was again demonstrated yesterday at the expense of the new Portland Golf Club. Waverley's eight-man team rolled up a total of 145S strokes in 36 holes over the Portland course, eight miles south of the city, while the home guard Portland Clubbers amassed 1520 strokes. This gave Waverley a mar gin of 62 strokes, and both legs on the massive cup put up by the Waver- ey Country Club. Members of this organization -will play among themselves for the trophy. Aside from the tendency- of some of the Portland team's club-swingers to explore bunkers and traps that they had been in dozens of times before, the big feature of the day was a rec ord for the course established by Ru dolph Wilhelm, state golf champion, who is a member of the Portland Club. New Course Record Made. Wilhelm shot a 43 on his first cir cuit of the nine-hole course, and on his next round he negotiated a 35. This 35 breaks the old mark held by J. R. Straight by one stroke. Wilhelm was lso low man of the day. just as he was last Sunday in the first match over the Waverley course. Wilhelm's total last Sunday at Wa verley was 15 and yesterday at Port land was 164. Other scores, too. would tend to corroborate the assertion that the Portland links are a few strokes more difficult than those on the East Side of the Willamette. Wilhelm's record round follows: Par 3 4 4 4 4 3 5 3 4 34 Wilhelm 5 4 3 4 4 3 4 3 5 35 Guy Standifer, 175: N. E. Ayer, 180; H. Davis. 179, and Ellis Bragg. 176. of the Waverley team, played consist ent, steady golf, as did Rudolph Wil helm for the Portland Club. Most of the others, however, were more or ess off their games. "Divots" were fly ng around like mallard ducks over a Sauvie Island duck marsh in hunting cime. a jot or time would have been saved if some of the boys had played 'divots' instead of balls. Runnel 1 Smith Has Bad Luck. Russell Smith, former state champion and one of the best on the Pacific Loast, enjoyed (?) a beautiful after- noon. So did his paired onnonent J. R. Straight, another of the Dedi- greed clan. Over at Waverley Mr. fcmith generally uses a cleek for his tee shots, a mashie for his second and a putter on the next two. Yesterday he used his cleek on the tee shots. hi. cieeK on nis second and a ' mudiron' on his third, a "masher" for his fourth ana tnen his putter on the next three, lour or live. Occasionally he "fondled" nibble and a spooner" or what ever they call those trench-digging "teiisiia. -wo -matter what clubs he used, they all seemed to be stramrBm Getting back to facts, the Waverlev expert shot 47-49-45-48 for 189, while Mr. Straight rolled up a simiiar 189 on a 46-50-43-50. Both took their dis comfiture good-naturedly despite brief spasms or rain that further complicated the situation. Arthur Dickson, one of the young sters in the competition, ranked sec ond to Wilhelm on the Portland Club team. His four rounds were 46-48-44- 47 for a total of 185. Detailed Scores Given.

Sept. 12. Nordug IV, the yacht sent out by King Chris tian X of Denmark to compete In the Panama-Pacific Exposition regatta, won the President Wilson trophy cup to day by defeating Captain John Barne son's Lady Betty, of San Francisco, in a spanking race over the exposition 14 mile course. Official time: Nordug IV, 2 hours 46 minutes 8 sec onds. Lady Betty, 2 hours 50 minutes 26 seconds. This-was the third and deciding race, the Nordug won the first easily and lost the second -when her mast carried away. When the IJordug arrived in San Francisco it was -discovered that, owing to the war, which prevented the participation of other European boats, there was nothing of her class in these waters and it looked as if King Chris tian's yacht had made the long trip in vain. Captain Barneson, however, undertook to provide a competitor. He built the Lady Betty and did it in 30 days. He said today that he was well satisfied with the result of the races.

Manager Grayson, of the Piedmont Maroons, winners of the City League pennant, attended the Montavilla-Van couver Barracks game yesterday, and while sitting in the stand heard many of the Montavilla followers say that their team could defeat any baseball team in the city. Several of the Maroon players are desirous of playing the Montavilla boys, but Manager Grayson feels that the Wright & Ditson League athletes are not fast enough to compete against his balltossers.

That's the best practice we've had this year," said Captain "Red" Rupert after yesterday morning's workout of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club football players. Sixteen athletes were out in suits and all were on Multno mah Field for almost two hours. "Judge" O'Rourke, the giant tackle of last season's eleven, made his 1915 debut yesterday morning. Several of the veterans who had promised Captain Rupert they would be on hand failed to put in an appear ance. The next session will be to morrow night under the huge electric lights which have been strung across the field. Work will be started at 7:15 o'clock so that everything can be over a little after 8 o'clock both, tomorrow night and Thursday night. L. K. Goss, who played with the North Ends of Evanston, 111., last Fall, came out to visit his old friend George Philbrook. Goss is visiting in the city but he has decided to practice with the Winged "M" squad and if time will permit he may try out for a position in the backfield. The North Ends were credited with being the champions of five states last season and Goss was one of the mainstays of the aggrega tion. Following are the players who were on hand to assist Captain Rupert yes terday: Streibig, Holden, Nelson, Phil- brook, Wells, Whitt, Os Day, Donald son, Gore, O'Rourke, Thomas, Eichen- laub, Humphrey, btiarp and Cosgrove. Signals and punting took up most of the time. The Tacoma Athletic Club, of Ta coma, Wash., has started in practicin and Manager Pratt of the Multnomah Club, is trying to arrange a game with the Northerners for next month some time.

At San Francisco Oakland 6-8, Portland 3-1 At Salt Lake Vernon 4-3, Salt Lake 3-4. At Los Angeles Los Angeles 4-2, San Francisco 8-0. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Sept- 12. (Special.) It does not seem possible that Oakland could go through two straight games of a double-header without losing either of them, but here is the proof that the Beavers twice fell by the wayside. In the forenoon the Oaks won by 6 to 3. Later in the day, with the Beavers playing like a bush league ball team and piling up seven errors, the Oaks made it 8 to 1. Everybody on the Beaverville team seems to be going wrong and the errors proved of the expensive sort. Oakland was lucky to get off to a running start in the afternoon. John ston was the first to tally. In the second he bumped the ball against the fence, was sacrificed to second by Ness, went to third on an infield out and was driven home by Elliott. Bearers Bunch Boots. The Beavers spilled their own beans the fourth. Middleton's grounder bounced -over Bates to left, Johnston hit in the same direction and after Ness had fanned. Gardner hit Roxey home with a swat to center. Elliott flied to Lober. but Bates booted Buddy's drive for the second run of the inning. Prough hit to the infield. but Ward took his place among the erring Beavers for a boot and Gardner made the circuit.
