Tha 12 Innings tsted till 8:10 and. most, of us were pretty ' hungry. It waa tha -largest Tuesday, crowd of the season. The visiting ' Elks return ing from Los Angeles helped swell the gate receipts. And they; all. rooted for the noma team, too.. - 'Twas good to see. Johnson and Ort whip that ball - across : tha diamond . to each other In practice. Time and again they lined it from ona base to another not more than fly feet from tha ground.

They were O. B. An drews, owner of the Chattanooga club of the Cotton State league, and J. 8. Rohr, a director of the Montgomery club of the Southern association. Both were members of the Elka excursion re turning east from Los Angeles. J , . e . .. An Industrious rooter from the land of the olive and the volcano, furnished much amusement to the crowd in tha grand stand. His "Goodda da bov da Bas" "Giva da blgsra da, hit, Mac." "One more da Jack da homa da run." threw tha fans Into convulsions, e "Fisher's coaching reminded one of the famous Hughey Jennings and hia "Ee-yah." The Beaver backstop put a lot of ginger into the gam with his small talk. ' . Armbruster's arm was working nicely, and he nipped the attempt of every An gel but Beall in stealing second. He caught two or three of the visitors way off the bag, which goes to -snow what hot weather will do for an arm."

It was a case of quick, thinking. - Then, Just to cap the climax, Jack lifted the second ball pitched to him . over tha right field fence, as the- first man -up in the last half of the fifth Inning. But Jack was guilty of a careless toss to first of' Dillon's bunt.

Both ' stars of T the , lndependenta state they will stick to their clubs, and it looks like another' wild rumor spread for unknown - purposes, : presumably ' to hurt tha stats leaguers.

"If L play on' the' coast,- Twill, finish tha sea aon out with the club I am now with," said Pfyl.' which would .. Indicate that nothing short of a "big league offer would make- him pull stakes from the Btocaton ciud. ine neavy outer wouia not say whether he had been ap- reached. He seemed mora willing to lscusa the playing of Oakland, and the seats tnan talk aoout nimseir. It is understood that Ben Henderson has a flattering offer from Mcuredle, but 'will turn It down. ' According to a general report, Henderson is -Interested with Morelng if. the Oakland Outlaws, and it is not probable'that he would de sert tha team and thus injure his stock In the organization. The Stockton club has made Johnny FarreL an ez-blg-leaguer, - manager in iace or Danny. Shay, who la on hia way o join Kansas uity. The aeat of war has been suddenly transferred to Saoramento. ' President lowing is pulling all -his -wires to, keep the Outlaws - out of the capital city.

AVhen Jim Coffroth was Informed that Battling Nelson announced in Chicago that he would be glad to meet Patkey McFar land before the Sunshine club this fall, and that he would not insist that Mc Farland make 182 ringside, Coffroth waa more than happy. - "That makes it easy to bring the boys together, and I guess I'll have toget on the job at once,'T he said today. T; may go to Chicago to cinch the match, be cause It is a much more satisfactory way "of doing business than conducting business by wire." ,... i .... . Now that the Langford-Ketchel match for Labor day in Ely Is as good as off. corrrotn may make an.errort to oring Ketchel and Papke ' together in a 45 -round fight next month. So far as Papke is concerned the match is aa good as made,- and ' if nothing better turns up in the way of a purse offer, It is not likely that Ketchel will turn down the proposition to stack up against hla ancient roe xor the ruth time. . Frank MantelL who has been coming to the front by leaps and bounds sin he came to this coast, may be given a trial by Coffroth in the very near fu ture. Mantell's win over Jack Twin Sullivan at Sacramento has boosted tha easterner's stock considerably, and if he makes good In his try out he will be given a match with ' ona of tha top notchers in his division. . . e . e Stanley.

FAST PACERS MEET AGAIII As predicted in last night's Journal. the owners of Lady Lovelace and Blue Jacket, tha two pacers which have been such bitter rivals for the past two years, got together last night and before they parted another meeting between the two horses had been arranged. They are both to enter tha fast pace at tha matinee given by the Rlveraido Driving club at the Country club track Saturday afternoon. . , . While there will be other, horses, and fast ones at that, entered -against the two pacers, the side bet is to be decided regardless. of place in the race proper. Seven hundred dollars is tha size of the bet and the horse finishing in the -best position in, the race will of coarse take the money. It should be a great race. Although Lady Lovelace is. a' favorite owing to her - victory In the last race, many horsemen figure that the big gray. Blue Jacket, will be winner In the com ing event. While Lady Lovelace went through the last race In fine . fashion, she is rather Inclined to be unsteady, and' with a large field such as will be entered in the fast pace next Saturday, is quite apt to break and lose 'out In this way. ' Blue Jacket, on tha other hand, runs steadily- at all. times .and while he has probably a trifle less speed tn the straight awaya, be more than makes up tor this by his - gamenesa - ana ms steadiness. At that., however, the hard work which Shea has been giving Lady Lovelace in the past three, weeks may have worked much - of the akittishness out of her. It is. bound to be an Inter esting contest. - --- - While - interest surrounds - tha' big match between- these two horses, . the other-match race between Zoe, the bay gelding owned by O. K. Howitt. ; and Altas, the bay owned by - Thomas Murphy,, is also attracting a great deal of attention. Both horses have ; been rerformlng on. local traces for "some Ifhe and have shown great form.

By' Richard Dahlgren. - London, July 17. Englishmen .do not attempt- to conceal - their chagrin " over the defeat of their hitherto Invincible polo team, and today there are murmur Ings loud and deep. Notwithstanding that Englishmen are naturally pessimis tic, It la the general opinion that Great Britain will have to trail In the rear for many years to come aa far as polo is concerned. Tha 'cup, which haa been in England for 28 years, is likaljf to stay In America for as long a period. Whenever sporting men congregate the talk lnvari- aoiy turns to lungiana s many aeieais in the field-of sports during- the paat five years. We have been defeated time and again at almost avery sport except that of horse racing. . Our yachts have gone down to defeat before the- superior mod els and sailing toasters of America. Our fiugitists nave lnvanaDiy oeen. aeieaiea n their own country when, ' pitted against the superior boxers of tht United States, and It Is only when our men nave sona to America. learnea American methoda of boxing and train ing that we have been able to hold our own, and then with only the little fel lows. And now we have loat the rowing Championship to the Belgian. Many reasons are assigned for the tumble in British athletics in tha last few years.' One is that there are mo few athletic clubs where the amateur ' can train. There are plenty of gymnasiums throughout the 'United Kingdom, but these are chiefly owned and run by men for their own pleasure, and not for pro fit, and few of their members take part in International games. ' ' Tha average British athlete doea not make his living by following the padded ring, playing polo, etc and there are no purses onerea nere wnicn. wouia -warrant an ambitious asnlrant for honor in any branch of athletic spbrt to forsake bis regular employment to enter upon a course -of training that would, aa you say in America, "bring home the bacon." The decadence In English sporta has been a fruitful topio of discussion since the Belgians won the grand challenge cup at Henley. Even our national hold on the time honored game of oricket haa gone to one of the colonlea, Australia, and -our awimmlng championship to tier many. - It gives little comfort to our down hearted aports that tha Duke of Man chester, Lord Roxebnrgh and other of the nobility have promised to organise a team that Will go to America and re cover the polo cup. - They realise that the Engliih players were beaten, not because they had gone back in their filaylng, but because the Americans had mproved so wonderfully. It would be impossible to get enough polo ponies In England that would be the equal of those ridden by the Americana and even the promise of one of the trio that he would try and induce the king of Spain to sell some of his ponlea, which are known all over tha world as the best of their class, gives us little encourage ment to hope that the cup will again cross the Atlantic tn many years. BAT ESHXIOIIS TO FIGHT .l'FARLAflD Chicago, July 31. Battling Nelson an nounced today that he was ready to fight Packey McFarland In the fail pro- viaea me stockyard cnampion aereatea either Ad Wolgaat, Cyclone Thompson or Fighting Dick Hyland before that lime. Nelson said he would aim for - a 48 round battle before Coffroth's club at San Francisco, but that he had not de cided whether he would demand ringside weignt. indicating mat ne would not place any obstacles In the way of com pleting the match, the Battler said: "I will mak McFarland a proposition that he can not turn down." As a result of the Battler's announce ment It is believed her that McFarland will now abandon his proposed - trip to Europe. SPILLS DARING RACER Chicago. July SI.
