LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Aug. 15. Spe
clal. Twenty-flve hundred excited fan
aw another hot contest this afternoon,
when the Charnofons' and the Beavers
went for IS Innings, that were featured
by fine pitching and fielding of a sensa
tional order. Los Angeles nnaily won, 2
to 1, 'the needed run coming from Ellis'
single and steal, Casey's error on Delmas'
grounder and a timely swat by Brashear,
batting for Hasan.
Gray and Rose had a fierce battle. Gray
was the better, for he fanned 14 and al
lowed but seven hits, yet It took him all
afternoon to win from the Rosebud. Raf
tery was thrown out of the grounds for
disputing Umpire O'Connell in the fourth
and in the twelfth Groom was ejected
tor talking from the bench. Ryan took
Raftery' place and kept the fans in the
air with his sensational running catches.
Bernard and Cooney were also stars in
fielding.
Casey opened the fourth with a single
and stole second. He ran to third on
McCredle's out. Later on Cooney
grounded to Smith who shot the ball to
the plate. Hogan touched out Cassy, but
O'Connell called him safe for the only run
the Beavers got.
In the same inning Bernard singled,
beat out a fielder's choice throw to sec
ond, was sacrificed to third and scored
. on Wheelers long foul fly back of third,
which Bassey foolishly caught. From
then on until the loth there was nothing
but sensational fielding.

Hyatt' terrific hitting and some sloppy
fielding br the Indians gave Vancouver
another victory today over the Indians,
making It an even break on the series to
date. Jensen was unable to stop the slug
gers from the. other side, but at that,
would have made It rather Interesting if
he had been given anything like decent
support. Vancouver waa also bad In the
field and Erickson pitched a mediocre
brand of ball, fielding his position poorly.
One of the lightest week day crowds of
the season turned out to the game.
Quinn has picked up a couple of young
pitchers in Ed Killllay. a brother of the
star twlrler, who has been out of the

EMPIRE CITY RACETRACK. Yonkers,
N. Y., Aug. 15. Fully 8000 people as
sembled for the opening at the Empire
City track today and everything ' ran
smoothly until the sixth race, the final
event. Shortly after the horses reached
their racing strides, Dugan, on the
favorite. Comedienne, cut across In front
of the field of eight starters. Jockey
Sweet; who was riding J. C. Core, suf
fered a bad tumble, and his mount rolled
over him. Sayler, ridden by Jockey
Sumter, stumbled and fell upon his rider.
The race was won by Comedienne, against
which no foul waa claimed.
Sweet was badly crushed and It was ap
parent at once that both lads were badly
shaken up. Sweet soon became worse and
both boys were taken to the hospital
where it was necessary to perform an
operation.
The principal event was the "Yonkers
handicap In which Jack Atkins ruled
favorite at 2 to 1. The best he could
do, however, was a poor third. Frank
GI1L won handily for J. L. McGlnnls at 6
to 1, while Fleischman's Tony Bonero an
outsider, was second, a short head be
hind the winner.
Betting "on the nod" was In vogue, but
two men who were found with odds
marked upon their racing programmes
were quickly shown to the gate and
cautioned not to return. ' Sheriff Lane, of
Westchester County, with a corps of
deputies watched closely for1 any trans
gressions of the new law governing
betting, but aside from the two men
mentioned none of the betters was dis
turbed, and everyone who was known as
a regular racetrack attendant found no

ALL ACCEPTED ENGLISH RULES
Member of British Olympic Commit
tee Answers Americans.
LONDON. Aug. 15. Theodore Cook,
a member of the British Olympic Coun
cil, has sent a long communication to
the newspapers of London, stating that
ss the criticisms from Americans on
the 400-meter race at the Olympic
games appear to be based on an ignor
ance of tacts, he has deemed it ad
visable to give the exact facts on
which the decision was based. He then
gives the statements of the various
officials of the American Athletic As
sociation, who acted as starters, um
pires, and the like, and the evidence
presented at the Inquiry after the race,
showing that all the starters In the
race were warned at the start that
watchers h.d been placed around the
track and that any . willful jostling
would result In the! race being declared
void. Cook, commenting on this offi
cial view, says:
"The only question that can be
raised Is whether the Olympic games
should hava been held under American
or English rules. It was not open for
the American athletes to appeal for ,
CM
ING BY SIGNS
American rules after entering under
English rules. All I can say is that
after our experience with what the
American code appears to permit no
English athlete Is likely to accept It
as a fair bas's for international com
petition." Commenting on Cook's statement.
Sporting Life insists that it Is neces- I
sary to compile for future Olympics a
complete detailed code of regulations
covering every branch of sports, after
consulting; all constituent - countries
that are to send contenders. In stat
ing many points where the rules failed
and where they could be Improved or
modified. Sporting Life urges the Brit
ish Olympic Council to initiate a move
ment for International rules by frank
and free discussion with foreign com
mittees and with an absence of de
sire to press the English rules on for
elgners.
