PAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Oct. 51.
Sreolal. Thtnks to the energetic
Tyler Christian. one of Oakland'
pitcher. San Francisco and Oakland
far nfiJ have an extra week of base
ball tagged on to the Coast League
schedule. There Isn't anything, new
about the rst season series between
Tortland and Oakland, hut all arrange
ments hare been finally completed for
the five frames, the first of which will
take place next Thursday afternoon.
The fact mat Oakland beat Vernon
In six of their eight names, together
with the work of the Beavers this sea
son, has created quite lot of Interest.
In addition, the teams have wisely de
rided to play for a winner's and loos
el's end. Jn other words, the winners
will draw down 60 rer cent of the re
ceipts and the losers 40 per cent. Thit
difference ought to be well wortli
working for and consequently the
icames will not border nn the farcical,
as might otherwise be tho case.
Players Mlek for (men.
So far as can be learned the two
dubs will have practically their full
strength. "Big Six" Steen had to re
turn to Portland on account of the Ill
ness of his wife and Manager Mc
Credie will not tarry here, otherwise,
the Beavers will all be on hand, and
no one has heard anything of depart
In Commuters. save for Bunny
I'earce. who has the hunter's Itch and
wants to fret busy wltn the shotgun.
Of course, the fact that there Is
nothing' at stake In the way of a
champlnshlp will take away some of
the enthusiasm, but It Is the best
series that could be provided.
Just who will umpire the series Is
not known at this writing. Christian
ha originally made arrangements
with McOreevy. but later It was de
rided that "Bull Perrlne would be a
hi It drawing card and If the American
league Indicator man returns in time,
he will be offered the position.
It la pretty generally the opinion
that Happy Hogan Is mighty lucky to
have been so far up in the race these
last few weeks. Most of the baseball
Judges in this neck of the woods have
It figured out that the Oakland team
la the second best In the league and
aught to have been fighting Portland
for the honor. Certainly, you will have
to accept that as true, if you take the
series between Oakland and Vernon as
a criterion. The Oaks, however, have
not been consistent this year and It Is
probably true that Wares and Cut
ehaw (more particularly Wares) with
their early season errors, were respon
sible for many of the same charged
against th Commuters.
Vernon 1 a team of sluggers arid
that lets them out. Johnny Kane has
trecn ore of the most valuable men on
the team and his absence from the
line-up. both against Portland and
Oakland, hurt the Hoganltes consid
erably. Be that as it may. I think that Hap
py Hogan Is entirely satisfied with
results. Financially he has done ex
ceedingly well this season. 1 have it
on rood authority that the first year
he Vernon team dropped something
like 115.000. The second year they
about broke, even and this year they
more than pulled out of the hole with
a ni-e little profit. Tbst Is going some
f-.r a rluh which has been going; Just
three years.
The Portland team. for Instance,
took awav 700 as Its share of that
series with tlie Villagers, so you can
Imagine something of what the llo
gantirs have been makln t.

They also say that it would be bet

Friday night, when he gave the second
recital of the series he is offering here
under the auspices of the Oregon
branch of the Association of Collegiate
Alumnae. "Julius Caesar" was the play
chosen. Mr. Darrach portrayed the
character of Brutus, Casslus. Marc
Antony and the lesser personages with
the same dramatic quality that was
shown In the earlier recital. His Tolce
Is clear and powerful and capable of a
variety of Inflections, and these and ad
mirable gestures enable htm to indi
vidualize the numerous characters of
the play. Mr. Darrach' explanatory
remarks assist greatly in conveying the
story of the play where much of neces
sity must be omitted.

HERZOG'S OFFENSE IS BAD
Giants' Third Baseman Chases Ron
ner Toward Plat at Critical
Moment In Game Homer by
Baker Is Terrific Clout.
BY J. NEWTON COLVEH.
NEW YORK. Oct. 21. (Special.)
They make bonehead plays In the
major league and In the worW series.
What would you ay, now, if a North
western League third baseman ifhased
a baaerunner from third base all the
way to the plate and barely got the
putout by a, diving slide across the
plate? We've always been taught to
chase a baserunner back, not forward,
out our way.
Tliat's what Mr. Herxog. third base
man for the Giants, champions of the
National league, did the other day and
he nabbed hi man only by an eye
lash. Hugh Fullerton. who at right
In front of me," says Herzog should
have a good chunk of hi salary taken
awaS' from him, so guess my idea of a
bonehead play must be O. K.
You see a few baby plays, also. In
the game at Philadelphia we had two

also palpably loafed on a hit down the
first base line, although anyone knows
how often a fumble or a bad peg gives
a batsman a life on such hits.
So far as errors and mlsplaya go, the
second and third games of the world's
series, which I have Just seen, are
Just as susceptible to breaks and
foozles as a lot of . game that are
served up to us right in our own back
yard. Still we like to dissemble about
the bush league and the major league.
So far In the big series the man with
the rlsit to be chiseled In marble on
the pedestal of fame for the 1911 grand
tusele is Frank Baker, third baseman
of the Philadelphia Athletics. His two
mighty swats have been Instrumental
In double victories for the Mackmen.
Both were out-of-the-lot-drlves and
both legitimate home runs on any field.
Just for curiosity, I stepped off the
distance from home plate to the right
field i wall at the new Polo- Grounds
stadium while walking off the field to
the "L" train. From the plate it Is 260
feet, as nearly as I could estimate, to
the base of the big wall, which Is about
12 feet high. But Baker s drive cleared
the fence about 30 feet down from the
fotil line and cleared it by 23 feet, so
that the ball covered a distance of
fully 325 feet In the clear. Some smash.
If anything, the drive at Philly was
farther.
One who lias never seen the partly
completed stnldum cannot Imagine Its
magnificence, its immensity, its adapt
ability to baseball. The field was com
pletely surrounded by a mass of hu
manity In both New York games, and
such an Impressive spectacle one does
not often get to see. I saw two games
at Chicago and two of the world's
aeries, four games with a total attend
ance of more than 100.000. An expen
diture of perhaps S175.000.
One of the most Interesting char
acters I .have met on the entire trip to
date was Fred Pfeffer, formerly of the
Chicago and New York teams, now
running a saloon in Chicago. Fred
gossiped of day gone ,by when ball
player wore mustaches and could
a he asserts consequently hit the ball
harder. "Ball clubs didn't carry. 10
and IS pitchers then." says the veteran.
"And the players didn't want to lay
off a week every time they got a tooth
ache. The modern ball player Is too
much petted and humored. No wonder
he loses his nerve In big games, and
no wonder It Is hard to find men that
can stand the gaff."

The modern press box at the world's
series contains Cap Anson. Ty Cobb,
Hal Chase. Trls Speaker and the Mar
quis of Queensberry. The ancient and
honorable order of baseball writers is
aghast at tbe profanation.
Our old friend. Jack Meyers, with the
Butte team of 1907. is almost as great
an Idol with New York fans as the
mighty Matty. The Chief has done
ome mighty timely bingllng In each
of the three games to date, having had
a hand In making four of the first
five runs scored by New Y'ork.
The world Is a small place. Bumped

Phil Cooney made a hit In his tryout
with the Cubs last Spring. They all
asked after him when Joe Tinker In
troduced me In the Chicago clubhouse
the other day. "If Cooney could bat

card he'd be," said Charles Murphy,
owner of the Cubs.

Hackenschmidt, for all along the line
come accounts of his great work dur

At Kansas City Gotch threw George
Padoubny, a giant Russian, so hard
that a Russ-Anjrlo war was threatened
for a time. At St. Joseph he easily
defeated Fred Beel, the man who, for
16 days, held Gotch's title back In 1908
as a result of defeating Gotch on a
fluke at New Orleans. Gotch got the
first foil and the men were wrestling
for the second when Gotch, In making
a quick turn to dodge away from his
speedy little opponent, hit his head
aarainst one of the posts of the ring.
This so dazed him that Beel won the
next two falls as handily as though
Gotc'i were an ordinary June bug on
the sidewalk.

The match here against Rober should
be a rare treat to Portland enthusiasts,
for Roter is one of the most prominent
of the gala'xy of stars which will arise
to claim the title when Gotch cries
quits following the close of his pres
ent tour. Gotch will probably defeat
Rober, but the Austrian Is out to win
and as he is bigger than Gotch and

the full seven and get as much money
as possible out of the series.
In the light of facts this small talk
is highly edifying and amusing. In
the first place, by the rules governing
the series, the players share only in
the first four games. The receipts
from other games, if J here are any, are
divided between the club owners and
the National Commission.
Furthermore, the players on the win
ning team get 60 per cent of the play
ers' end and the losers 40 per cent. The
players' share from the three games
so far played amount to J105.798.83,

$135,000 is $81,000 and 40 per . cent
$54,000. or a difference of $1286 a man

"Here are some of the reasons why
New York fans don't beiieve in follow
ing the dope:
"Because in 1905 Biily Gilbert, weak
est batter of the Giants, led both games
in hitting and drove in more runs than
Hike Donlln and Urc-sne.han.
"In 1909 Babe Adams, a youngster
without a record, won the world's title
for the Pirates whlio the veterans
failed.
"Because In 1910 Ira Thomas, who
was figured as being weak, made
Johnny Kling look like a minor
leaguer."

Last Fall Frary predicted that the
Cubs would take but one game from

that the Northwestern clubs would fin

Nick Williams fooled Frary a little
by nudging ahead of Taeoma a few

lasting no longer than five days. He
also served notice in his official ukase,
that New York would take the first
game.

British Golf Champion Kngcr to Re
turn to Defend Title.
' NEW YORK, Oct. 21. (Special.) 1
begins to. look now as If the interna
tional golf game might work both wayt
next year. On the eve of his departure
Harold H. Hilton declared his inten

that the United States will be repre
sented abroad.
Oswald Kirkby. the Englewood cham
pion, said today that he was going
over in the Spring. His father, al
ways enthusiastic about the younger
Kirkby's game, has offered to take Os
wald across. It also Is stated that Fred
Herreshoff will try his luck next year.
The Westbrook star had expected to vis
it Scotland last May, but a change in
busine.-s Interfered with his ' plans.
With the exception of the memorable
visit of Walter J. Travis in 1904, when
he cast dismay into the ranks of tho
Britons by "lifting" the cup at Sand
wich, the efforts of American golfers
abroad have been decided failures.
Great things were expected of Jerome
Travers when he went over a few years
ago, but his sorry showing is still re
membered by all close followers of the
game. Then there was the attempt of
last season, when "Chick" Evans, P.
W. Whittemore and J. G. Anderson
went across, the result of which Is still
fresh in the memory of all. According
to a statement on Kirkby's part, his
appearance in the recent Nassau tour
nament marks his last competitive golf
of the season. He said he did not ex
pect to play either at Lakewood or At
lantic City next month.
