There were a number of costly errors behind the ' lanky pitcher that did not help any. The tatting rally by the Beaver in the sixth was of the kind that 1 al wav expected of those players, but which has not been showing up lately. A home run., two doubles and two sin rles were , stacked up before the bom bardment came to an end.

Los Angeles cleaned up Ooakland In both the morn ing and afternoon game today. In the forenoon the Angels won a snappy game by a 3 to 1 score, but the after noon seance proved to be a walk away in which tha blossoms knocked both Dellar and Hopkins out of the box and scored 14 runs on IS hits. Oakland scored but twice. Oakland had the opportunity of the season to wallop the Angels In the af ternoon game, as Dillon tried out a curly-haired youngster from a local business college ttam. This was Brls waltea who was given a short trial by Oakland early in the week. The busbar held the Greeks down to seven hits and two luns, and although he got Into some tight places, was well supported and managed to get away with it every time. Briswalter also endeared himself to the Fourth of July fans by scoring the first I.os Angeles runs In the sec ond tnnlng. The youngster overlooked no opportunities to make himself a hero.

President Roosevelt, In the office of his sunimec residence at Oyster Uuy, todny pressed a telegraph key that sent a current or electricity pulsating across the conti nent and fired a cannon mounted on the waterfront here. This was the nlgnal ror the starting of the great trans Pacific yacht rare .to Honolulu. As the beautiful little craft broke out their massive sails and bepan the 2,200 knot race across the Pacific ocean, the vast crowd of people that had congre gated to see the boats cross the line broke into enthusiastic cheers and thousands of giant firecrackers and other explbsivN; vcre set oft in cele bration of the eNeift. The boats that started In the long race were: Lurllne, schooner, entered from Los Angeles. Gwendolyn II, yawl, of Seattle. Lady Maude, yawl, of Pan Diego. Hawaii, schooner, of Honolulu. Heavy storms are sure to be encoun tered at this season of the year and It will require the best seamanship to bring the racers safe Into the tropical harbor of Honolulu. The crewa of all the boats are on their mettle, however, and while the yachts were Jeckeying for position before crossing the start ing line there was the keenest rivalry and each tried every trick of the sailor to outmaneuver the other. The time allowances are as follows, the allowance being taken on the basis of half an hour for each foot: Lurline, scratch. Ladv Maude, 8 hours 9 minutes. Hawaii. 8 hours 37 minutes. Gwendolyn II. 17 hours 30 minutes.. It Is expected that between 1-2 ; and 15 days will be required to complete the voyage.

Gloom Tfras cast over the celebration in this town last night by the death of William Stlcknott, a Jockey, who was billed to ride In the races yesterday and today He was killed by a fall from the back of the animal on which he was mounted. Stlcknott, who was supposed to be a sKinea jocaey, evidently was not pre pared for the signal to start the race, and was thrown from the animal's back when the pistol shot was fired and the horse made a sudden move forward In an effort to secure first dace. Stick nott fell backward on his head on the hard turf and suffered a fractured skull. Last night at 12 o clock he died. VANCOUVER TAKES TWO. Total . . 88 14 18 27 10 OAKLAND. ' AB. R. H.PO.

Racing over the 19-mile course at a frenzied clip, the new Wolff turned the trick with an easy lead over the Aries II on the Willamette yesterday after noon In the races of the Willamette Motor Boat club. The contest between these two boats, both new to the water, had aroused much Interest. The Wolff's time was 44:16, while Its Roesch rival made the distance in 45:15, giving The Wolff 59 seconds the best of It on official time. The actual lead was not so (treat, for the Aries II waa a full 12 seconds slow In gettinK over the line at the start. Nevertheless, it made a pretty race, and the splendid turn it made at the end of the first lap aroused the enthusiasm of the spec tators. At the end of the first lap It was half a minute behind, showing tho boats ran evenly nearly all the way. From the standpoint of the spectators the second handicap race, won by th Sterling, was most enjoyed. There was a close finish between three of tne boats with the Vixen first over, but it was disqualified for exceeding Its allow ance on time allowed under the handi cap rules. The West Butte, owned by tho Drlscol Boat company of Astoria, was second in this race, and the Sappho third. The Happv Heine, guided by Otto Ranft, had an easy time in the free-for-all scratch over a course from the foot of Ellsworth street twice around the steel bridge. It completed the Job in 22:22. Tho Alamo, which was counted on to make things Interesting, developed enirine trouble -and went slow all the way down, ilnally cpmlng In In 27:65. The West Butte was a poor third in 29:66. The first race, was a handicap affair for boats under 10 miles per hour, go ing once around the pier of the Itforrl son bridge. Silver Heels. Allen Bur dick's skimmer, won in 18:43 with a 2:13 handicap, the actual time being 16:30. Ruth was second In 18:69. It was the scratch boat. Third came Black Beauty In 19:12. It was handicapped 1:25. making 17:47 actual time. ko hame came In lHSt. Lonesome entered but failed to make the turn. O. Y. C. did not go In. Swan Unfortunate. Roesch's Swan had an unfortunate day. It waa expected to perform well in the second handicap, but It ranked amonir the tail-enders. The Van also dropped well to the rear. Floedha failed to finish and Artisan did not start. The most of tne spectators supposed the Vixen, another Wolff boat, had won this race. It did make the best time, but the judges held it disqualified under the rules. It was Mven in at 14 minutes on its trials, and through misunderstanding of the starting guns It was rar awav rrom the line when the time came for Its getaway. But the ludges found it dis qualified In counting either from the Kun start or on the actual time In run nlnK over the course. By the gun start It was marked 13:80 and the other way 12:2o. It was allowed iib.2 seconds ex cess, but showed 30 seconds excess even from the irun start. This left first place to H. J. Kahlln's Sterling, West Hutte second and Dr. Spencer's Sappho third. The Swan was also to have entered against Happy Heine In the scratch race for all boats, but the engine bucked and It failed to go. Kanrt did so well in this race that he was urged to enter in the social scratch with the Wolff and the Aries II. but he had sprained a coil. He did canter along for awhile to test the mettle of the other boats, but drew out before reachina the first Dridge. Olub Sous Sink. It was a good afternoon's sport, with only one marring incident. This was the sinKtng or tne Doat ciud house at the foot of Ellsworth street It waa overcrowded with spectators and. with out warning, careened slightly forward and began to fill rapidly. There waa a rush for the plank leading to a float alongside, but only a few mad the landing without a soaking. More inan a dozen women were guests on tne boat house and every one of them was caught by the water, ome to the ankles and others to the knees. Fortunately all were rescued from their perilous positions before the house settled to the roof. Swimmer then en tered the house and -rescued the articles of wearing apparel and other valuable property left Inside, Including the Jaerer trophy won by the Happy Heine a few weeks ago. The races were looked after by Com modore George J. Kelly, assisted by James B. Welch, mannger and treasurer of the club. The rear-commodore is E. Von de Vert. Dr. V. Dammasch acted as starter: L. M. Myers, timekeeper; Gus Fleming, fleet captain, and Carson. Klnnear and'Davey, Judges. CLEVELAND MAY TAKE GE00M FROM M'CREDIE fruited Prexi Leased Wire.) San Frauclsco, Julv 4.
